Sigrid (hiccup x reader)

Chapter 26

"Viggo isn't my father, he's not close to me." I sigh as they all gasp. I had lied to them again, and they just looked at me like I was a monster. 

"What is he then? A second uncle?" Snotlout asked, crossing his arms over his chest. I looked over to Astrid, and saw the worst betrayal and pain in her eyes. I had to lied to her, again, and I could see all the pain that I had just caused in her eyes. 

"I-" I hesitated. "He's no one to me. He used to be someone, but he's not anymore, but just a monster. He used to be my chief." I say as they all stay quiet. "I swear- I can explain this! I-" 

"No!" Snotlout stands up, yelling as I shut up. "How many times have you lied to us, asta? How many times? I don't even know who you are! You're not a dragon rider, we don't lie to each other and ruin everything. It's not my problem that you aren't trustful and how badly you want to hurt us." I stare at him, shocked. I ruined everything. "We shouldn't have ever even thought about 'saving' you from viggo, or where you planning your next attack at us?" I gulped. 

"I can explain.." I sigh. "I know what I did-" 

"Then you would also know what you have caused!" Ruffnut also stands up. 

Tuffnut stands up next to her. "We're not stupid, asta. We all know you're going to go back to viggo and then try to find another plan to hurt us because this one failed. You aren't one of us, asta, accept that. We have tried, and tried, and tried and tried to welcome you since you were with us, that meant all your life. But there were so many secrets we should have known about you. You're not a dragon rider, you're not us." 

"What about all the times we defeated villains?" I asked, blinking back tears. "I just want to give you answers to your questions." I felt my whole body crumble to pieces. "Please." I stood up with them. 

"You're with Viggo Grimborn," Hiccup stood up. "We can't trust you. Especially after everything that has happened. I would think I would be the last to say this, but you're not one of us. You have hurt us in the past, in the current and most likely will in the future. We don't want this, we don't want to keep on getting hurt because of you. You're the one causing all of this. You have backstabbed us so many times, you have done everything bad, how can we trust you? The answer is that we won't. We can't trust you and I won't make that mistake again. This is an end to all of your lies and all your plans to hurt us again. I think you should go." I looked at astrid, she looked at me with incredible pain in her eyes before looking down, breaking the eye contact. I let out a long, shaky breath, one I didn't know I was holding. "If you won't go, we will. I expect you to be gone in the morning. You can use one of the wild animals here, how about starting with a gronckle? I hope you have a nice flight back to your island."

"You don't understand!" I yell at them. They all turn around as astrid stands up, watching everyone turn their backs to me. Astrid looks at me with her face of shock and looks back at them, not knowing what to do. "Please, just listen to me." I plead. "I will be gone in the morning, just hear what I need to say." I say as hiccup breathes in and out again, and turns around to me.

"What is it?" He asks as they all look at me. I gulp. 

"I didn't want to ruin your lives. I didn't mean to do any of this, I was forced to. I was left in an early age, forced to befriend the people in Berk and leave Viggo's island." I explain as hiccup crosses his arms over his chest and narrows his eyes at me. "Viggo is my enemy, I hate him as much as all of you do. He is amazing at what he does, that's true, but he is also a true monster, a monster to me and my true parents. My true parents have done bad things, causing Viggo to capture them and keep them in a cell together. My parents and I don't have a good relationship. One of the things they needed to do to free themselves was attack Berk, that's where my role comes. My parents forced me to go to Berk and betray you all, getting Viggo what he needed, which was toothless and the money from him, was what would free my parents. After that, we wanted to join the Berkians and win against Viggo, getting back toothless." 

"I didn't know that..." Hiccup says, shocked. I nod. 

"Ever since I was left in the island, they have tortured me in lots of ways," I sigh. "Hunger, they left me starving for days, they would abuse me until the whole bed was covered in blood, they would force me to hurt dragons and watch their pain, they would burn my skin with hot, boiling water, pouring on my skin if I ever tried to do anything. And they promised me that they would kill me if I tried to escape." 

"And you left your parents there?" Astrid finally asked with her shaky voice. "Didn't you want to save them and free them?" 

"That was my first intention," I nod. "But I noticed that it was their first fault that they were in there and they deserved their punishments. They have never really cared about me until now, which was when they needed me to get all the pain for them. I didn't want to get used like that, so when Ryker nearly beat me to my death, I showered the blood from my skin and made myself a platform of wood, after getting off the island, I spent days and a whole week on the platform, trying to find any island. At the end, I have passed a few islands with nothing on it but booty traps and dangerous dragons. I finally found the edge." 

"How do we even know this is true? This could be another one of your lies!" Snotlout threw his arms up in the air. 

"I have lied about other things," I say. "But please, this is the one time I really need you to trust me. I'm saying the truth! I wouldn't lie about this! I would lie about anything but this! You know when that guy nearly killed me when I came back the other time?!" They all nod. "Well it was Viggo's and Ryker's orders to nearly kill me!" 

"I trust you." Her gentle voice comforted me. I turned to look at astrid as I let out a deep breathe. 

"If astrid trusts her, I will too." Hiccup sighs. "I just hope she's not wrong about asta, this time. For all our sakes." I let out a smile as he returns it. 

"Are you serious? We have to trust her too now." The twins say at the same time as I giggle. A single tear sheds from my eyes as I smile. I look at snotlout as he looks at me as if he were checking if I could be trusted. 

"I guess it could work." He mumbles. 

"Thank you, for everything." I smiled
