Our little Girl

1. Patrol flight

Today was the first time Astrid was allowed to go on a patrol flight alone after she had the Scourge of Odin.
She was so happy that Hiccup allowed her to go.
'He's always so overprotective!' Astrid though.
Suddenly, she saw a stranded ship. They went closer.
The young Hofferson heard screams.
Baby screams.
Astrid went in.
In the ship was almost completely dark.
Just a little window let a bit of sunshine in.
The screams became louder.
The viking girl followed that sound.
Then, she saw a little baby laughing at her. Astrid went closer. It was a baby girl.
She was lying on a bed.
Carefully, she lifted her up.
"Where are your parents, sweetie?" Astrid asked and then she noticed a little sheet of paper. It was a letter.

Hallo!
Du hast meine Tochter gefunden.
Bitte tue ihr nichts an und sei eine Mutter
oder ein Vater für meine Mara, die oder den sie sonst
nie haben wird.
Danke!

"What language is this?" Astrid looked at the girl. Around her hand was a bracelet.
The name Mara was engraved on the bracelet.
"Mara?" The baby girl began to laugh.
"So that's your name." She still smiled.

~on the edge~

Astrid walked with Mara in her arms into the club house.
She saw Hiccup and Fishlegs talking.
"Fishlegs! I need your help." She said.
"About what?"
"What language is this?" Astrid showed him the letter.
"I don't know. Croatian, maybe?"
"No, that's German." Hiccup said.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because of her." Astrid pointed at the baby which hugged her tight.
"Whe-" Hiccup just wanted to say something, but Mara began to cry.
"Shhhh, what's wrong, sweetie?"
"Astrid? Can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Um... yeah, sure."
They went outside.
