"It's Getting late," I say to Hayden, as he walked back towards me dropping some kill he had in his hands. He looked at our pile of Kill. "Is that enough for the Wolves?" He asked.

"It'll be enough for my Dad, he's not eating a lot lately," I say. "-- But for the others-- I'm not sure," I say. I put some of the Kill in an Old Satchel, as Hayden grabbed the rest of it.

"Let's go then." He said to me. We started walking back to our camp. From the distance, I could see a faint fire. In the glow of the fire, I could see my Father asleep outside, in wolf form. Once we got closer, Hayden took a glance at him. "Is there a reason he's sleeping outside?" He asked.

"He wants to be able to hear Snotlout, just in case he tries to attack early," I say.

"But he can read minds," He said.

"He's weak. It's not as easy as it looks," I say.

He looked at me. "Okay..." He said. "Well... I'm going to meet the others," he said to me.

I nod slowly. "I'm going to stay here," I say.

"Night Karli "

I smile as he walked away. "Night." As soon as he was gone, I looked at my Father. I wanted to wake him and tell him to go into a tent or something. But, seeing him twitched changed my mind. His ear twitched, and his paws shuffled. He let out a small whine. That could only mean he's having another Nightmare... But what's it even about. I then remember I could read minds too... If my dads that weak, it would be easy to read his mind.

I look at him again, and out of nowhere, a new area appeared. Dad was there, so was Hayden. And two others. There was a building. Dad looked at it, then to the two adults. They looked to be his parents. He looked a lot like his Mother.

This had to be when he was younger. His parents are dead... Maybe he's only half Wolf here. He looks young, but he's always looked like that, he hasn't really aged physically. My Dad's gaze seemed to be set on the building. Hayden walked up behind him. "Your Aunts still in there, Wolfe." He told Dad.

"I Know that!" My dad snapped.

Hayden snorted. "That's just Stupid."

My dad looked at him. "Your Definition of Stupid is clearly different from mine." He said.

"What's yours?" Hayden asked.

"You." His parents looked at him, then to the building. My Dad suddenly stopped, looking at the building. The building suddenly burst to flames.

"Oh no." I heard Hayden whisper.

My dad was about to run until his Mother grabbed his arm. "Hiccup, don't!" She told him.

He looked at her. "Aunt Esme's in there." He said. "Someone has to help her." His parents looked at him. "I'll be fine-- I Promise." He said. His Mother looked at him for a moment, then let go of his arm. He took off, shifting Mid-Sprint. He dove under a large crack in the wall of the building. I saw him, look around, flames spreading around him quickly. He looks more, then spots someone. He bolted over to the person, who happened to be his aunt. "Esme?" He asked looking down. She didn't move. He pulled on her sleeve with his teeth. "C' mon, we got to get out of here." He told her.

She wasn't breathing. She was dead. I saw him stare for a couple of seconds. But then something in the corner of the building caught his attention. I look over as well. Snotlout was outside standing at the window, with a dark look at my dad. He waved to my Dad then walked away, leaving him trapped... Snotlout started the fire? Did he kill my Father? He knew my Dad's Aunt was in there. He knew He'd go after her.

Snotlout had this whole thing planned out. I heard him snarl, then grip his aunt's arm in his mouth. He pulled her but didn't get very far. The fire started towering over him. He stopped looking down at his aunt. "I'm sorry Esme." He sighed. "I couldn't Save you." He whispered to her, nuzzling her quickly. He stayed there for a minute until the cracking of the Flames scared him up. He bolted towards to crack in the wall, only to see it has been covered by flames and Ash.

He ran the other direction to a window, but he couldn't get out if either. With a loud Snarl, he bolted towards the door, that was padlocked with Silver. He looked around for an Exit, finally spotting one. He ran for it but didn't make it halfway, before he collapsed to the ground.

I was suddenly back in the forest where the tents are. My dad was still asleep. But it wasn't long until his head shot up in complete fear. "What's wrong?" I ask, not wanting to tell him that I was in his Dream. He shook his head, looking at me.

"Nothing -- Karli -- I'm fine." He said to me.

"You sure?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He told me then rested his head down.

"Why are you still up?" He asked.

"I just got back from Hunting," I say setting some kill down next to him. He looked at it, then sighed. "Sorry, if I woke you," I say.

"No, you didn't. It was me. I woke myself." He said.

I look at him, knowing that's not true. He scared himself awake with a nightmare. I then stand up. "I'm going to get some sleep," I say.

"M'Kay." He muttered curling up again.

"Night Dad."

He looked at me. "Night Karl's." I walk into the tent my mom was in, laying down. I find it weird that he's dreaming about the past. Maybe that's Normal... But why would it be the one where he was killed?

There's gotta be some kind of Connection...
