(My pov)
        IceBreaker stares off into the sky, huffing worryingly with every step he took. (Y/N)'s father tried his best to calm down the dragon but nothing seemed to appease him.
      "IceBreaker, what's wrong? Are you worried about (Y/N)," at the sound of her name, IceBreaker turned his head at Aro, "Is that the problem. I bet she's just fine. You know she sometimes stays with Hiccup for a couple of days." IceBreaker just shook his head. He grew in size and spread his wings impatiently at Aro.
      "IceBreaker, please calm down!" This only made IceBreaker let out a blood boiling screech. By this time (Y/N)'s mother came running out of the house along with Eriwen and Lumi right behind her.
"Aro, what's going on? Why is IceBreaker making that sound?" Nia yelled over the sound of the screech. The four covered their ears to try and block out the sound.
"I don't know!" Aro answered. Lumi and Eriwen quickly ran up to IceBreaker and rubbed his legs and wings.
"Dad, he's calling out to (Y/N) and Silver." Eriwen yelled over to his parents. IceBreaker looked down at the two children and stopped his call. He shrunk back down and sadly made his way back into the house.
"Why would he be calling out to them. I bet their fine." Aro said rubbing his ears.
"They've been together ever since the day (Y/N) was born and Silver and IceBreaker hatched. They have a very special bond Dad," Lumi said, "They'll know when something happened to one another. Remember that one time (Y/N) broke her ankle in the woods?"
"Silver and IceBreaker freaked out then ran out of the house to find her." Aro said.
"Or the time Silver and IceBreaker went out to play but fell into a lake?" Eriwen asked his parents.
"(Y/N) ran into the wood and didn't stop yelling they need help until they were out of the water." Nia said with a worried expression, "Aro, what if something happened to (Y/N)." She whispered. Aro wrapped an arm around his wife and pulled her close.
      "We can't think like that. If something happened I'm sure our girl can take care of it. I bet she's coming back right now. Let's just be hopeful okay." Aro lifted Nia's chin and smiled at her. Nia nodded and gave him a quick kiss before they went back into the house to help IceBreaker.
     "Lumi, do you know what's going on?" Eriwen asked his little sister. Lumi looked down at her feet and nodded.
      "I tried to stop her. I really did. I even asked Noel for help but now," Lumi sighed, "now I'm scared of what might happen."
       "Lumi tell me what's going on. If something happened to (Y/N) we need to help her." Eriwen places a hand on Lumi's shoulders.
"I'll tell you, just not now. Let's calm down IceBreaker first." Eriwen nodded and the two siblings made their way back into the how to calm their older sister's dragon.
~ooOOoo~
(In Berk: Night)
Stoick sat at a dining table at the mess hall, slowly picking away at his lamb leg. There was this strange feeling in his body as if something happened to Hiccup.
"Have you heard from Hiccup?" Stoick over heard Fishlegs say. Snoutlout rolled his eyes and took a big bit of his lamb.
"You know sometimes he stays with (Y/N) on that island. I think that stupid, I mean yeah you're in love but the least you can do is, I don't know, maybe live together where there are people around?" Snoutlout ranted.
"I don't know, if I were him I would try to stay away from you." Ruffnut said.
"And why is that?"
"Because you might try to steal (Y/N) away from him and fail epically." Tuffnut laughed.
"I noticed Astrid hasn't been around either." Fishlegs said.
"She probably just went somewhere to train with Stormfly." Snoutlout replied dismissively. Fishlegs shook his head at the answer.
       "For three days? I know she likes training with Stormfly but she's never gone for this long."
      "Hey, there's no need to worry, she always come back even when..." Just then the door to the mess hall fly's open and a frantic looking Astrid comes running in. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were filled with pure fear. Her pressed her left hand to her chest. It was bleeding badly, leaving trails of blood running down her hand.
     "Stoick!" She yelled out. Stoick stood up and quickly went over to the young woman. She grabbed at his arms with her right hand and with a shaky breath said,
"Hiccup." That caused Stoick to hold his breath.
"What about Hiccup."
"He... I.... and..." Astrid tried to get words out but they just couldn't come. Stoick lead her to a table and sat her down.
"Breathe, speak when you're ready." He placed a cup of water on the table in front of her. Astrid grabbed it and quickly gulped the water down. After a few deep breaths she started to talk.
      "I was coming back from some training in the IceCaps. I wanted Stormfly to get used to their climate and terrain. When I decided to see if (Y/N) and Hiccup where on the island I passed," Astrid took another deep breath, "I landed as soon as (Y/N) left. I went to the door and-and..."
"And what Astrid?" Stoick said. Astrid stared down at her hands. Tears fell onto the back of her hands washing away the blood that was on them.
"The door was open and when I walked into the house I saw Hiccup, one the floor. Dead." A silence followed after. Stoick stood next to Astrid paralyzed. How could his son be dead. (Y/N) wouldn't have done something like this? Or was this alliance with the IceCaps a lie?
      "Where was Toothless?" A small whisper came from his mouth.
      "I don't know. He wasn't anywhere to be seen." The once strong and mighty Stoick the Vast, turned into a regular man holding back tears for his "deceased" son.
"Are you sure? Are you sure that's what you saw? Hiccup can't be..." Astrid looked at him with a sympathetic look. Stoick turned his back to her, the sadness in his eyes were pushed back by the anger that began to fill them.
"Get ready to fight. All of you."
~ooOOoo~
(Evening: IceCaps)
Aro finally got IceBreaker to calm down. The dragon's head sat dejectedly against a soft blanket (Y/N) slept on every night. Occasionally IceBreaker would turn his head towards the blanket to breath in her scent. Lumi stroked IceBreaker's back slowly, staring sadly at the dragon.
"So, Astrid asked Noel to help her kidnap (Y/N) and Hiccup so she could tell some kind of ridiculous lie." Eriwen said quietly as he processed the information Lumi had told him.
     "She knows our father and Hiccup's father don't usually listen to reason. So instead of finding out if the lie is true they'll just go to war." Lumi whispered.
    "If that happens then eventually Dad will got to Berk with an army of dragon riders and bury Berk under a block of ice." Lumi nods. Berk has many talented dragon riders but the fact that dragons that live in the IceCaps have so many unique abilities that are still unknown to Berk, plus dragons that can breath fire and ice, Berk wouldn't stand a chance.
"Do you know what the lie is?" Lumi shook her head.
"No, Krystal can tell me a lot but sometimes words can be unclear. She is still a baby." Eriwen nods his head.
"We need to find them before Astrid has a chance of finishing her plan."
"And to start we should get dad out of the house. Just so if Astrid does get someone to help her, even if they believe the lie, they can't tell dad and he won't declare war on Berk." Eriwen nods at his sister the turns towards his Father and Mother.
   "Why don't we go look for her?" Eriwen said break the silence. Eriwen ran his hand through his white hair as he continued, "IceBreaker thinks something's wrong. Maybe we should check to see instead of standing around waiting." Aro looked outside at the setting sun, staring out at the horizon as if his daughter would come back at anytime.
"Aro, I️ think Eriwen is right," Nia said, "I️ think we should look for her. If Lumi's right, something..." Nia stops talking at the thought that something happened to her child, her first child. Her crystal blue eyes looked pleadingly into her husbands but she didn't have to ask anymore.
"Eriwen, go get Blade. Nia ride on my dragon with me," The chief said, "We'll find her my love." Aro looks at Lumi, giving her unspoken instructions. Lumi nods at her father.
     "I'll stay here just incase (Y/N) comes home while you're gone." Eriwen, Nia, And Aro walk towards the door but are meet with a frantic looking man at the foot of their door.
     "Chief," The man gasped, "I️ have something very important to tell you." Aro raises his eyebrows at the man.
    "Can it wait until I️ come back?" The man shook his head.
      "No sir. It's... it's about you daughter," (Y/N)'s family huddled close to the door to hear what he man had to say, "I️ was taking a walk with my dragon near the shore line when I️ was people from Berk talking. They had hoods on their heads and usually I️ would ignore them but I️ heard them say..." The man started to choke. Sadness filled his eyes as he struggled to get the words out of his mouth.
     "What! The said what?" Nia whispered. She squeezed Aro's arm, not wanting to hear the words that came out of the man's mouth.
      "I️... they... they said (Y/N) is... is dead. I'm sorry. They said that Hiccup did it but I never heard the reason why. They figured out I was listening and left without saying another word."
"They lie!" Aro hissed our. He clenched his hands into fists, "Why would Hiccup kill my daughter, the girl he loves?" The man shook his head then opened his palm. In it was a bloody snowflake necklace twinkling into the light of the setting sun. By this point IceBreaker has gotten up. He sniffed the necklace but instead of nuzzling it, his head shot up and a low growl escaped him. IceBreaker glared at the necklace as the man passed it off to Aro. Aro stared at it for a moment before turning his head away, unable to look at the accessory that brought their family so much happiness and pain.
"I'm... so sorry, Aro." The man spoke his name in the gentlest of voices, which only made his heart break more. The chief look the man with is (E/C) eyes filled with anger and grief.
"Tell everyone to prepare to fight," Aro said darkly, "We leave for Berk in 3 days." With that Aro closed the door.
The house was silent for a moment. No one knew what to say or do. The idea that (Y/N) was dead was unfathomable. Nia slowly stretched her hands out towards Aro with an unspoken plead in her eyes. Her husband gently placed the necklace in his wife's shakily hands. Nia's pale fingers slowly traced the cold necklace. The red of blood never obstructed the brilliant blue of the necklace and when the light hit it she could see her lost daughter's smiling face staring back at her. Nia clutched the necklace close to her heart and let out an ear-splitting sob. Aro wrapped his arms around his wife and sank to the floor with her. Tears rolled down his face as he tried to comfort his heartbroken wife. Lumi walked over to her brother and laced her fingers with his. Eriwen squeezed her hand tightly. They knew the truth, and they needed to find their sister and Hiccup before the world the knew fell apart.
