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

Chapter 95 -Reunion?

Lilly's POV

"Uh...Viggo? Why aren't you saying anything?"

For several minutes Viggo did nothing but stare at Ryker's dragon-face - his eyes wide and mouth agape. I worried my lower lip as he yet again refused to answer. "Oh Ryker I am not sure this was the best decision..."

Just then, right before Ryker could utter a word - Viggo snapped back to reality. "This dragon is Ryker..." he muttered under his breath, his arms flailing towards the window where Ryker still sat upside down. His lips twitched into a lopsided grin and I had to strain my ears...but did he just laugh?

It became quite clear when Viggo turned to face me. He was trembling like a leaf but there was no mistaking in the sounds he made. His breath came in quick gasps between his unstoppable giggles. Tears gathered in the corners of his eyes, threatening to spill over. "Ryker is a dragon!" he burst out while he clutched his arms around his stomach as he shook under his uncontrollable laughing fit.

The sound of it sent an unpleasant shiver down my spine. Under any other circumstances my brother's laughter would have filled me with happiness but this... this just felt wrong. It was not like him. Not at all.

Viggo was always such a serious person, even when he was happy he hardly let it show through anything more than an amused chuckle. And now he was laughing so hard, that he could barely breathe. "A dr-dragon...he...he's a dragon..." he barked out between laughters.

"Yeah...I am, we got it...don't freak out..." Ryker's growl rumbled through my head and I could practically feel him roll his eyes in annoyance. But Viggo was far from done.

His laughters ebbed down to quiet gasps for air and I could swear I saw a tear drop onto my blanket as Viggo pushed himself off of my bed and began pacing through my room till he came to a halt in front of my dressing table. He had his back turned to me as he pressed the palms of his hands on the wooden surface, eying the jars filled with ointments and other medicine, that Nanna had laid out for my treatment.

"Viggo? I..." My voice turned into a startled shriek as Viggo suddenly swept them all off to the floor where the jars shattered into a hundred tiny pieces, their oily content splattering onto the walls and floor.

"HE - CAME - BACK - AS - A - GODSDAMN - DRAGON!" he roared as he seized the dressing table and knocked it down as well. Seething with rage, Viggo turned to face Ryker. "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU COME BACK TO US! AFTER ALL YOU DID!" He bent down to grab an emptied cup from the floor and aimed it at Ryker's head, who let out a furious roar as it hit his snout.

"OH! Don't think it's a picnic for me to be a freakin' dragon! After all I could feast in Valhalla now, but no - I chose to come back to help and this is how you thank me?!" Ryker huffed and puffed in anger - bared his razor sharp teeth at Viggo who seemed to have lost it as he kept on spitting insults and throwing my belongings at Ryker.

Appalled by both of my brother's rage I tried to get into a more upright position but the movement left my head spinning. It was too much. "Stop it..." I croaked out but my voice got lost under Ryker's growls and Viggo's shouts. Smoke rose from Ryker's snout as his fury grew. Incredulous! Muttonheads!

I couldn't stand that any longer. Ignoring my spinning vision, I struggled out of my bed and got up on wobbly legs. Viggo lunged at Ryker with raised fists. "Stop!" I cried, starting forward but my limbs felt like jelly. Stars were dancing across my vision and a sudden pain surged through my hands as something sharp bored itself into my flesh. I must have sliced my hands on the broken jars in my attempt to cushion my fall. An involuntary gasp left my mouth as I rose to my knees.
