'It all happened when I was ten. My parents and I went to an island which was too far away from Berk. My parents always hated me because I was a girl. So they decided to give me to a man. But at Berk was such a thing forbidden, so my parents went with me to the island. I was promised to a thirty-years-old man. He had black hair and blue-green eyes. I still can remember his dirty smile and how disgusting it was when he touched my body everywhere. It was really unpleasant, but I was afraid to say something. So I ran away. I ran into a forest. Soon, I realized that was lost. But then came a forty-years-old man, and he wanted to help me. He had white hair and blue-gray eyes. He seemed really nice, so I went with him. He led me to his little hut. I saw Night Fury heads on the wall. We began to talk. We laughed together. He seemed also very optimistic. It was a funny conversation until he kissed me passionate. I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, I felt him squirt some kind of liquid in my neck. I felt dazed. Somehow, my body felt strange. Like it didn't belong to me. Suddenly, he touched my body, like the black haired before. And I couldn't do anything. He slowly got me undressed, kissing my whole body. I felt he raped me. It hurt. I didn't feel anything at this time. But then I managed to oppose the poison. I grabbed my shirt and leggings and ran out of the hut. I ran to the next boat I could find and paddled in the direction of Berk. I wanted this to be the last time I saw him in my entire life.'

Astrid Hofferson and Hiccup Haddock were in the Great Hall, finding a way to free more dragons from the dragon hunters.
Astrid yawned.
"Are you tired? Should we go on tomorrow?" Hiccup asked. Astrid nodded. She was going to say something, but then she heard a familiar voice.
"Sissy!" Called a little girl. She was about four years old. She had dark blonde hair and ice blue eyes.
"Mila? What are you doing here, honey?" Astrid picked up the little girl.
"I couldn't sleep, so I went to you." Mila kissed Astrid's cheek.
"Love ya, sis." She mumbled into Astrid's ear. Hiccup stood beside them and smiled. He really liked Mila. And she liked him. She knew that her sister and the chief were a thing. The little Mila accepted Hiccup as her dad. She knew he wasn't, but she still felt that way. She also loved her sister as her mom.
"Good night, Milady. Good night, Mila." Hiccup kissed the top of Astrid head.
"Good night, Babe."
"Good night, Hiccup." Mila waved to Hiccup while she was in Astrid's arms. He waved back. Astrid and Mila went home.

"Sissy, can you tell me something about Mom?" Mila asked Astrid when they laid in the bed of their parents.
"Um, sure. She really loved us. And she said once we, as a family, are her only treasure." Astrid lied. She watched her little sister falling asleep.

'I wish it could be that way...' Were her thoughts before she also fell asleep.

But she didn't know what the next day would bring...
