"What do you mean she's gone!?!" I exclaimed. Shock, terror but mostly worry filled me. I couldn't lose her again. Especially not when I'd just gotten her back. And even more especially on our wedding day.
"Hiccup, let him explain." Dad told me seemingly calm but I saw that he was worried too. As Eret started to regain his ability to breath he started to talk.
"I was going to tell Astrid and the others that everything was ready for them here, but when I got there nobody was there. I've been looking everywhere for them but they're gone. All of them."
A new expression appeared on my dad's face.
"Valka too?" He exhaled worried. Fishlegs, Tuffnut and Snoutlout came up to us together with Astrid's father, they seemed to have heard part of our conversation.
"Are the girls gone? Heather too?" Fishlegs asked pale
"Ruffnut?" Tuffnut asked
"Sorry, they're all gone." Eret said.
"We need to find them. Now." I said determined. I had to know that Astrid was safe.
"Wait a moment. Isn't that Astrid's  mother?" Fishlegs stopped me and pointed up at the sky where a dragon got nearer and nearer. A moment later it landed and Astrid's mother got off her dragon. She ran to us and we ran towards her. We met somewhere in the middle. Astrid's father got to her first and engulfed her in a big hug.
"Are you okay?" He asked her when he let her go and she nodded. I wished that I could do the same with Astrid.
"Ingrid, where are the others?" Dad asked when she got to us.
"The outskirts of Berk. Ruffnut got the wrong location." She explained
"Are they okay?" I asked worried. She turned to me with an unreadable look on her face.
"Astrid told me to tell you that she was fine but when I left I saw this man walking to them. I think it's Viggo." She told us. My whole brain got black for a moment. Then in the next I was running towards Toothless and was on his back before anybody else could say another word.
"We have to help them!" I exclaimed. The others were soon on their dragons as well.
"Let's go, son, we are not letting them hurt our wives." Dad nodded.
"I'll show the way." Ingrid said and flew off.
We followed her to the place where she had left Astrid and the others. Heather, Ruffnut and Mom were all fighting off about a dozen dragon hunters and did a pretty good job. And there she was, my Astrid, fighting Viggo with all she had.

// Hey guys! So I didn't know what Astrid's mom was called so I checked it up and it turns out that her name isn't mentioned. So I decided to name her Ingrid. Hope it's okay for you cause otherwise too bad. And thank you so much for 4K reads everyone! It means so much to me! Love you❤️//
