My little Flower (HiccupxOC, part 1 of Grimborn Family AU)

Chapter 28 - The Ambush

Lilly's POV

I woke up the next morning to the feeling of something cold and wet on my face. Grumbling under my breath, I tried to shove away the overgrown lizard. "Eeew, Shadow! Stop it!"

Opening my eyes I looked into her big blue ones, she gave me a big toothless smile. "Wake up, it's a beautiful day."

Getting into a sitting position I rubbed my eyes. I was back in my room again. Viggo must have carried me here.

Mothers notebook was lying on the bedside table next to me. I picked it up again and flipped through the pages. My mother was just like me.

I felt a painful sting in my heart. If I only had seen her once.

My thoughts were interrupted by a light knock on the door. I looked up and saw Martha coming in, carrying a tray with a steaming bowl on it. It smelled delicious.

"Good morning myla-, I mean Lilly. Your brother thought you might enjoy breakfast in bed this morning." Martha put the tray down on the bedside table.

I smiled, thinking about how much Viggo cared for me.

"Thank you Martha."

Shadow grumbled beside me. "What about me?"

I laughed. "Well I guess you have breakfast with the other dragons."

Growling lightly, Shadow walked out of the room. That moody dragon.

While I was eating, Martha picked out some clothes for me. It's still strange to have someone do that for me. After getting dressed, I sat down at my dressing table, allowing Martha to comb and braid my hair once more.

"It was a wonderful night yesterday, wasn't it?" Martha spoke up.

"It was. I saw you dancing with Tuffnut." I turned my head and smiled brightly. Martha blushed a little.

"Well he is really funny and cute I guess." I giggled at her awkwardness.

Closing my eyes, I let my thoughts wander back to my mother when I suddenly felt a stinging pain on my scalp. "Ouch!"

"Oh, I am sorry Lilly, it seems you got a knot there. I fear I need to cut it out if that's alright?"

I turned to see Martha pulling out a small knife from her apron and frowned as she held it out for me. I worried my lower lip for a moment, but then shrugged.

"Okay, if it won't show..."

"It won't. Don't worry I'll be careful. Turn you head back around." She insisted and as soon as I did as told, she was cutting off a strand of my hair, putting it back into her apron along with the knife and went back to braid my hair. The process went smoothly after that and I found myself relaxing again. 

"So, I am done Lilly." She said after a while and I got up to hug her.

"Thank you Martha, you are really nice." I let go of her and oh...was that a tear gathering at the corner of her eye? I didn't have much time to ponder about it though as Martha forced her lips into a smile and ushered me out of my room. "You are too kind, Lilly. But you should go now - I think your brother is looking for you."

Viggo's POV

Sitting at my desk I studied the plans Hiccup had given to me for rebuilding our town in a dragon friendly way. This boy really is brilliant. I had to admit. He came up with ideas that would have never crossed my mind. Who would ever think of a dragon washing station?
