The Sister I Never Knew

Chapter 2

From what I've done, this story will be, at the least, five chapters. Once again, I'm just doing this for fun, I'm hardly even checking my spelling or going over the chapter before publishing. I'm not a huge HTTYD fan so if I get anything wrong that's my bad. If you have any suggestions or anything to say, go ahead and message me.

Astrid has been traveling east for the past hour. She was adamant on finding Sylvi. The young woman would not go back to Berk unless it was with another girl.

"Astrid!", she heard from behind.

Hiccup was heading her way, Toothless looked worn out as he was being pushed to his limit. The young chief came to her side but Astrid didn't stop.

"Keep on going, Stormfly.", she ignored the other man.

"Oh, come on!", the chief looked beat. "Listen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! How many times do I have to tell you this?", he sighed.

"It's not your apology I want.", she said simply as the two riders kept flying. "But I forgive you."

"Astrid, just stop this now, please. I have everyone coming to me all day asking about my sister! I still have a lot of work today, can you just forget this and come home?", he pleaded. "I've had to lie a lot more than I usually do."

The young woman gave her husband a look of surprise. "Lying much?!"

"To the village!", he pointed out, "I don't lie to you, I lie to the village! But they aren't harmful lies! My lies are harmless, it's usually just lying about how much someone weighs or-"

"Hiccup", she stopped him before he said anything idiotic.

"Come on! Please just come home and I'll answer any questions you have!", he was desperate.

She sighed. "Fine."

Hiccup threw a fist up, "Ugh , finally! Now let's head on ba-"

"No, I don't think I'll go back just yet. I want to clear my mind a bit before going.", she spoke softly.

The chief rolled his eyes. He had too much work to get back to and every second was just precious time being wasted. He ran a hand through his hair, he hadn't taken his helmet.

"As long as you get home, it's fine by me. I'll see you tonight!", and with that he and Toothless were heading back to Berk.

Astrid smiled. She could be a great liar at times, Hiccup better look out.

She wouldn't go home until she found Sylvi!

The whole day was spent checking every island she came up on. Astrid encircled each one before going down on foot and looking for the long lost twin.

The next few places she checked were just the same. Astrid finds nothing.

Just as she climbed onto Stormfly, the young woman recalled that she knew nothing of this Sylvi.

Was Sylvi a mere clone to Hiccup? Did she have his sarcasm? Would Sylvi be tall like him or would she be as tall as Astrid herself?

So many questions but no answers.

Astrid decided she would look through one more island before camping out for the night.

It was a place she and Hiccup had found just months before. It was the farthest they'd gone from Berk and the rarely visited. She doubted anything would come up but Astrid was beat and tired.

It was practically nightfall.

She found a nice place to camp out. Stormfly was more than tired, the Nadder simply knocked out once she hit the ground.

Astrid thought it would be a good idea to look for some kindle to start a fire. Nothing huge, just something to give her light and warmth.

The viking woman took her axe and made her way through the woods.

"I can't believe this!", she yelled. "If this is some idiotic prank it's not the least bit funny! Ugh, stupid lying Hiccup!", she kicked at the dirt as she walked and wedged her axe into the closest tree. "I've checked everywhere, why haven't I found Sylvi?!"

Just as she spoke, Astrid tripped over her own boots but caught her balance before any real damage was done.

"And who put this damn trap here?!", she questioned loudly as she noticed a makeshift trap by her feet.

It was simple and looked to have been made in a hurry. A trap to imprison possibly a small dragon.

Astrid found track's beside it. Footprints.

The young viking decided she would see where they led to. She walked for only a couple minutes, the moonlight illuminated the darkness. After a while of walking, Astrid noticed that the footprints stopped. Although the footprints stopped, her mind didn't.

There was a cave right in front of her. Nothing great, just a damn rock wedged into the earth.

"What th- ", Astrid heard tree branches crack behind her. She jumped and turned around, axe in hand, she was ready.

Without even registering it, a dark figure dropped from the tree tops and tackled Astrid to the ground.

Astrid threw the other person off and flung a few feet away, battle stance and axe in her hand, the viking studied her attacker as her attacker studied her.

A girl. She had nicely kept dark hair, her face was a bit smudged in dirt and she wore casual clothes, slightly torn but clearly an old viking outfit.

"No way.", the blonde whispered to herself.

This could not be Sylvi, was it?

"Sylvi?"

The girl growled at the name,"You shouldn't be here.", she stood tall as she spoke. "You should leave."

Well that's it for today! Let me know what you think so far and if you have any type of advice go ahead and message me. Thanks for reading.
