Viggo X OC

Chapter 7

Viggo POV

The ship swayed with the wild ocean. The waves that blast themselves into the boat only make slight creaks in this mighty vessel.
Dahila and her dragon have proved to be very helpful. Although she never helps with the more hunter specific things. Such as hunting and cageing dragons. She will help take care of the beast but never anything else. I have taken note of her schedule.
She goes flying on her dragon, Sprout I believe was the name she called it by. I have only ever seen 2. But not in the archipelago. No these beast are only found on the main land. Even there not much is known about that species of dragon. All thats known is quite simple. Everyone who comes in contact with the beast goes missing, no blood, no scream, no trace.
If anything I can sell her dragon for quite a large amount of gold.
After the flight, which is about a half an hour and ends ruffly around when most hunters get up, she helps make breakfast for the hunters. Then she brings my breakfast to me herself every day at the same time. She then helps feed and water the dragons. After that she comes back to my room and gives me a small lecture about why I should eat my breakfast. Once she leaves my office she goes to the deck talks to the hunters while doing small chores that don't involve dragon hunting. Before returning to by office, usually to talk about the dragon riders, she will talk to Ivan. Who has taken a liking to the very kind girl, just like all the hunters. Even Ryker, on the few occasions that they have interacted, can't yell at her.
We have played maces and talons multiple times since she has allied herself with me. She is just as smart as she is kind. Often making me rethink my moves. I heard some of the mercenaries talking about why I allowed a girl, a decent looking girl is how they put it, to join the ship. After that they made various comments about "how she would do" as wife or other things... that made me want to personally kill them. But that did raise the question to me. Why did I allow the girl. I have never allowed a girl because of vikings like those mercenaries. More over why do I care so much about her personal well-being. She could be a spy for all I know. I shouldn't get attached. But as I dive deeper into these thoughts the more swirls of emotions that feel like they are going to drown me if I don't go talk to her. Protect her. I suppose her kindness could of. No there is something else. Something about her makes me want to trust her. When she comes for her visit today I plan to figure it out. I just realized that this whole time I had been drawing on a paper about trade bettween my tribe and the tribe of the Whispering Trees.
The drawing is one of a girl with gorgeous hair, one of a girl with kind eyes, one of
Her.

Next day.

Dahila's POV

I just got done with talking to Ivan, the second to last on my very routine schedule. Next I usually go talk to Viggo hoping to get him to tell me any plans. But after that I do a random thing every day. Going on flights disappearing for like 5 minutes only to come back without going to the riders. My goal is to ease into disappearing for longer times whilst gaining trust. Most of the hunters talk to me now and I leaned most of them are mercenaries. The other few are like Ivan, blood hunters, as they are called. They are the one who were born part of the tribe and most of them can actually hit a target and are decently polite. Compared to the mercenaries who insist on trying to seduce me. Although they never touch me it does make me uncomfortable. Other than that my time as a spy hasn't been bad. Viggo really don't come out much besides to do cheif and leader stuff. And has been nice enough to allow me to stay in his bedroom quarters and insures me that once we regroup at base I'll have my on tent. Sprout also has alot of fun. Despite being on a ship full of hunters, most don't hold grudges against dragons like berk did. They don't want to ride him but give him fish, rub his tummy, talk to him, and even sang with him a few times while they were drunk.
I haven't found out much though. I have learned nothing about the plans with the dragon riders from Viggo but it sounds like he don't tell anyone anything except what they need to know to do what he wants. And I haven't learned where the rest of the blood hunters live, or any weakness. But with how the hunters act with Sprout maybe there is a chance at peace.
I walk to Viggo's office quarters. Sprout is currently flying around the ship helping the hunters see rocks but also showing them cool spins and circles through the sky. I do not announce my self before I open the door. He never seems to care he usually just smiles at me and asks me to play maces and talons with him. Today when I walked in he was moving peices of the game around. That sickens me when I think about it. That game is often shown to children to test their leadership skills. No human being dies. But he took this innocent game and corrupted it. When he knocks a stone peice down it represents a human dieing in his plan. His plan that always works.
"Dahila, a pleasure as always" he says in his normal, smooth tone. I walk over to the desk he is sitting at in the middle of the room. I sit in a chair across from him.
"How are you Viggo anything new with the plans?" I ask.
"They are going dear"
Thats not a real answer Viggo.
"Viggo I want you to know I say this with all due respect and completely without any hostile feelings. If I don't know anything about our plans with the riders and berk then how can I be any assistance to you and how can you be any assistance in my mission to give proper justice" I ask though it's not a question.
"That leads me to where I was hoping for this conversation to go dear" he stated staring at me. Right through my soul.
I arch my brow.
"You say you must get your honor back by doing something that you never really make clear to Stoick"
Oh SHHIT. He is going to find out. No he knows he just wants me to admit it. No. He.
Calm down.
I look at the ground.
I need to calm down but I don't know what to say.
I hear a echo of something that Tuff once told me in the back of my head, 'Nothing better than the truth'
I don't know.
"I don't know.." I pause. "I don't know what I will do but I do know that I have to do it" I say looking up at him towards the end.
"My dear may I ask more questions"
"Why"
He chuckled,"Cause every hunter out there I know everything about them, you are the only mysterious one"
"I am not a hunter"
"We are allies"
"Yes which if you are allowed to ask me those questions then I can ask you questions too"
"My dear.."
"No. If your allowed to ask me personal questions then I can ask you personal questions"
"Just personal questions" he asks. Shit I walked into that. My job is to learn about his plans. Not get attached.
"Yes"
"What tribe do you originate from"
"I don't remember, what is your favorite dragon"
"Skrill, how do you know that you must go after Stoick"
"My grandmother, what is your favorite color" We go back and forth and eventually the questions get more and more difficult to answer.
"What were your parents like"
That question bothered me. Not about how I'll answer it. I'm just going to say what I have said on most of his questions I don't know. But it bothered me because it bothers me when my blood parents come into the conversation. There was no evidence that my parents were killed, everything points to them abandoning me. They didn't want me. I wasn't good enough.
"My dear maybe we should skip that question" Viggo brings me out of my thoughts.
"No, it is fine, I don't remember them. That was a tough question, may I ask a tough question in return"
He motioned for me to continue.
"Your scars on your neck, I couldn't help but wonder how one would survive that"
He paused for a like 3 seconds then continued.
"When I was 11 I went for a walk in the woods. I went in the part that no one walks through because its so called haunted. That is why I was there, no one else was. I was going to a specific spot in the center. But about halfway through a dragon decided I would make a appetizing meal. I don't remember all of it but I do rember its claws traveling down my neck and on to my chest and moving down." He paused and I was regretting the question. His eyes didn't look like they normally do. He looked scared. And something told me he forgot I was here and was no reviewing horrible memories. Because I was expecting an answer that ended with the dragon tried making me its meal or something. Should I pull him out of his thoughts. Pa does this sometimes when talking about how he lost his limbs.
"I remember my arm getting tired from stabbing its neck-chest area. The dragons claws stopped and it roared as I must of struck something vital and toppled off of me. I took my dagger and burned my neck hoping to stop the bleeding. But there was still... I tried to run but couldn't get up. I tried crawling but didn't make it real far. My vision was blurry but it was clear. I was alone. I was going to die alone" He finished. His eyes were almost fully glazed over. He stopped staring at me some where in his story and has not took his eyes off the table. That seemed so lonely, I wish I could help him, to tell him he wasn't alone and that I was here but I am not here for him. I'm here to get information to stop him.
I reach out and touch his arm.
"But you didn't die, you lived and that is a miracle really. And I am glad that you did truly"
He shifts out of my reach and I retract my hand.
"Unfortunately I have to cut this conversation short, as I have work to do and I am sure you have something to resume too" He says painting his usual calm face. Talking in his usual tone. Like that never happened and I guess that he probably didn't want me to know and is embarrassed.
"Yes, have a good night Viggo" I say with a smile, standing.
He gets up and goes to open the door for me.
"You make sure you do to Dahila" he says whilst closing the door behind me.

Viggo's POV

Fuck what part of you don't get attached don't I understand. Why. If.   What. I'm pacing quit pacing. Sit.
I demand myself to do like you would a misbehaving child.
'What happened' I ask myself in my head'
'I lost it'
'Why' that thought floated around for a while. I am so emotionless that even by own brother hardly regards me as human. I am and have always been a monster. Why did I just break there monsters don't break they don't have emotions.

I don't I finally decide. Everyone has slip ups thats why we are able to capture the monsters known as dragons. I just had a moment and it won't happen again. After coming to this conclusion I go back to work.

Dahila's POV

As I walk, I process what just happened. Viggo just showed me a new side of him. The more human side. He seemed lonely.
All of a sudden a crash into something. No someone..not anyone Ryker.
"Do you ever watch where you're going"
"What if this is the big plan though, to bump into you" I joke.
"And what good would that do" he said whilst escorting me to the deck. Once you started talking to him Ryker was really easy to talk too.
"To lighten your mood"
"Hmph" he responds.
"Yeah you look scary" I say pokeing his arm.
"I'm a hunter"
"So scary doesn't look good on any of you" I pause, "You guys are way to uhh"
"Way to what" he asked. We were now leaning on the side of the ship, looking at the ocean.
"Normal, nice, genuine, well most of you are"
"Whats that supposed to mean"
"I am enjoying myself" I say looking to my hands slightly ashamed.
You are a spy, don't get attached.
"We all like having you around, D"
D was the hunters nick name for me. Simple but mad my not getting attached situation worse.
"Thank you" I once again remember my conversation with Viggo but more on how I wanted to tell him the truth and relate to him.
"You should talk to your brother"
"Why"
"He seems lonely"
"Ha thats his own fault"
"What do you mean"
"He made it very clear how much he cares"
"And your any better by not trying to fix it.
He stayed quiet.
"Look whatever happened between you two is bettween you two but I am able to listen"
"He. Its complicated" he sighed.
"Relationships usually are"
"Why do you say he is lonely"
"Its a long story, but just do it"
"Yeah D I will"
"Thank you"
He turns and yells some orders but that doesn't matter to me as I make my way to Sprout. We are going to go for the longest flight, not to see the riders just to make sence of this and decide if I should stay as a spy or pul myself out.
