Astrid Hofferson: A Different Story

Introduction

Outcast Island
3 years later

Two Nadders landed at the back of Outcast Island and two riders got off them.

"Stay here and wait for our signals," one whispered to the dragons.
"Are you sure this will work?" the other asked.
"Yes, now come on. We don't have much time."

The riders ran through the forest and stopped at the edge of the village. They got down onto their hands and knees so they couldn't be spotted.

One of the men walked past. One of the riders knocked him out, the other caught him and placed him down gently. They started making their way to the jail.

"Remember the plan," one whispered sternly.
"I know the plan because you have went over it several times."

One entered the jail with her hood down. The guards were shocked to see her walk in.

"How can we help you mam?" one said.
"Well, can you break up a horrible fight by the river? I'm scared of those men hurting themselves."
"How many are there?"
"I saw ten men there."
"We'll be there in a minute."

The men rushed out. The girl in there put her hood back up and signalled for the other rider.

"Nicely done."
"Thanks. It's a hobby."
"Did you get the keys?"
"You mean these keys," the girl said taking them out of the pocket.
"Thank Thor. You had me there."
"Let's just get this done before they get back."

The riders ran towards a cell in the back of the jail. There was a man sitting there. He looked up.

"What are you doing?" he said as one put the key in the hole.
"Getting you out," the other said.
"Astrid Hofferson, what are you doing here" he whispered.
"Giving you food, what does it look like?"
"There's my girl."
"Less talking. Dagur which cell is your men in?" the other impatiently asked.
"Those two over there, Melanie," Dagur said.

Melanie got the men out and they all snuck out of the jail into the forest. They came up to where Stormfly and Snowstorm were. The two dragons went and got boats. Melanie started to help the men board the boats.

"Head home, it'll be safer there," Astrid said to Dagur.
"I will, Astrid. You don't need to worry about me."
"Did you miss me?"
"Yes. Did you miss me?"
"What do you think?" Astrid asked.

Dagur pulled he wait and kissed her. Their moment was interrupted by Melanie.

"Sorry to break this up but the Outcasts are coming."
"See you soon," Astrid said to her sister.
"Bye."

They looked to find the boats but they had already left.

"Hop on," Astrid said hopping onto Stormfly.
She helped Dagur on and took off.

"I guess I'll see you around," Astrid said.
"See you soon, Astrid."
"One thing before you go."
"What's that?"
"Hiccup doesn't know about us. So we'll have to act like we hate each other when the riders are around."
"I'm doing that with a certain family member of mine as well."
"And now it's goodbye," Astrid said sadly.
"We'll see each other again."

Dagur jumped onto the boat and started sailing North towards his home.
