New Family (a Httyd/Rtte Fanfic)

Leaving

Hiccup felt a shiver run up his spine.

Hina had entered the ring, one that looked very similar to the one on Berk and had taken up a stance. He was standing beside Viggo, two hunters holding him. This provided a clear view of what was about to transpire.

The bars to a dragon's pen were pulled back.

After a moment fire exploded, a fire that looked very familiar. The sleek form of a Whispering Death emerged from the flames. It hissed and tried to escape in a panicked frenzy before it turned its gaze towards the exposed girl. As Hiccup watched, the dragon came closer but Hina did not charge. She just backed away slowly. She dropped her sword and threw her shield out of range. Her clear voice echoed across the arena.

"I will not fight you."

Gaspes came from all around him.

Hiccup's jaw dropped.

Still not taking her eyes off the dragon, his friend continued, but Hiccup barely heard. Memories were rushing through him. That day back on Berk, the Monstrous Nightmare, Toothless.

He knew what was going to happen and he glanced at Viggo whose face was a mask of horror.

"Stop." he called silently.

But Hina didn't.

The dragon was almost touching her finger tips.

"Enough!" Viggo bellowed.

Hiccup's heart leapt to his throat just as quickly as the dragon that had launched itself at the girl who yelled in fear. The hunters' grips had loosened on him so the dragon rider took his chance. Twisting out of their grasps, he ran towards the blonde boy who was calling out desperately. Hiccup pulled the lever and the gate opened and he rushed past the young viking.

"Hina!"

He didn't want to hurt the dragon, just scare it. He grabbed a loose rock and chucked it in the creature's direction.

It turned its sights on him.

Oh Thor!

He ran without looking back. The boy he passed earlier called to him. He ducked and a hammer hit the Whispering Death in the face.

Ryker was at the gate and had pulled out his sword.

The blonde ran for him.

Pain ripped through Hiccup's arm as he grabbed him on the way out.

Ryker took no chances and pressed the leader of the riders against the wall as soon as he could. The warrior boy looked shocked at this. Then glanced at the rider's leg. Guilt danced in his eyes.

Guilt? Hiccup wondered why.

He noticed that Hina was running towards them full speed, but the dragon's tail slammed down in front of her causing the ground to shake. Ryker let go of Hiccup who ran back into the flury.

His arm hurt like crazy as he frantically searched through the dust for the girl.

Then he saw her.

The whispering death had her coild in tight.

It drew in its breath to shoot.

Then something shocking happened.

Hiccup's yell was drowned out by the call of a Night Fury and Windy flew into the arena in a puff of... fire?

She leaped at the vicious dragon and the two started fighting. Screams and gasps were heard all over the place. Hiccup ran over the shocked but luckily uninjured Hina.

A look of horror greeted him.

Together the friends watched as Windy battled the beast eventually coming out on top.

As it retreated, hunters started streaming in. Grabbing his good arm, Hina pulled Hiccup over to her dragon. She mounted in front of him and they took off. Windy blasted through the bars and served left to avoid a canon of arrows. Nets and bolas were coming from all directions.

They started to gain altitude, nearing full escape, but a catapult shot a boulder at the trio and they came crashing down. Viggo's men surrounded them and pulled Hiccup away but not before he saw the murderous look on his enemy's face.

Hina was shoved into the great hall, Viggo's sword missing her by inches.

"You traitor. " he hissed at her, pulling his weapon out of the ground. "You befriend a criminal, trained a dragon and lied to me about it!"

Fear coursed through Hina but anger took over.

"He's an innocent boy! And I never lied to you, I just didn't tell you. Infact, you were the one who lied to me! Everyday you told me dragons were evil and that they did nothing but kill! But what about all the good things, eh! How about-"

"ENOUGH!" Again, he swung his sword at her.

She ducked.

He swung.

Hina rolled over a table but she tripped over a bench and fell to the floor. Her father stood above her, a dark glare chiseled into his face.

She glared right back.

"So this is it. You are actually going to kill your own daughter."

Viggo didn't even laugh.

"You're not my daughter." Hina gave him a 'seriously' face which angered him even more.

"Infact, you never were."

Hina's whole world ended.

"What?"

"You heard me." her, supposed, father said while flipping his sword. "You were never my daughter. Seventeen years ago, I kidnapped you from your birth family. I was aiming for you twin brother, but I got you instead. Not like he turned out much better."

Hina felt as if ice water was running through her veins.

Viggo.... Was not her dad?

"I decided to give you a chance." the man continued. "But I see that chance was waisted." A murderous glint took place in his eyes.

"And I don't have time for failures-"

A hammer flew through the air and struck the man in the ribs.

"Hina, quick!" Arctic's voice came from the entrance shocking the girl out of her trance.

She got up and ran to him. The two outlaws then ran from the village and into the woods. They ran and ran till they reached a ledge. It was directly over the ports of Hina's home.

Or so called home.

She could see ships being loaded with arrows, catapults and other weapons. A black dragon was tied down to the lead ship and a group of men surrounded her. Then she saw Hiccup. He was being escorted on to the same ship as Windy. He glanced around and found her staring at him. Viggo looked in the same direction, but they were too far to see his expression. He then shoved the one legged viking forward and two hunters tied him to the mast.

Hina watched as the boats left the docks. Once they were out of sight she let the tears fall. Something warm gave her a hug and helped her sit down.

Everything was gone.

Her friends, her honour, her family.

No, that she never had.

The only thing that existed at that moment was her tears, and the kind voice that kept her sane.
