Mind games

(Valka P.O.V)

I lowered myself as much as possible against the small dragon. The baby flapped his wings roughly, trying to keep a steady pace. "Hey- umm, Valka?" I heard Gobber ask from behind me. I barely dodged a large ice hill in the centre of the narrow crevice we flew through. "Yes Gobber?" I ask distractedly, trying to keep the dragon straight. "Well, not me! But, others were wondering....if there is a plan. Not me! Of course, but if so...what, is it?" He asked, trying to act innocent. I couldn't help but let a smile seep through. "We find Hiccup, and kick Drago's!-" My words were only heard by me as a we were split by a narrow hill of ice. I sighed when a large wall appeared, the thinnest of gaps in the middle. "-And that thing". I said flatly. The baby dragon tilted slightly, but not enough for me to fall off. We dashed through, straightening out once more. "Ahh!" Was all I heard from behind me, a familiar accent of a Viking making echoes in the cave. Stoic flew up next to me, holding the dragon by the sides of its head gently. "Do we have to go back for him?" He asked in irritation and impatience. I sighed and nodded, making the dragon pull back.

~Back at Berk~

(General P.O.V)

The passive villagers of Berk were lounging in there homes, completely unaware of the monster approaching them. No one heard the crumbling of the statue standing in the ocean, a large, grey foot crushing it.
Gothi was suddenly woken from her slumber when the heard of terrible terrors, who had been previously resting atop of her, scrambled out of the small hut, she was unaware of their paper thin eyes . She grunted, slowly limping out to the deck of her house. A gasp fell from her mouth at the sight that beholder her.
Another villager and his gronkle were happily playing, the Viking roughly scratching the dragons belly. The moment of joy was short lived when the gronkles's pupils went thin. "What?" The warrior asked out loud in confusion as his dragon began flying around, knocking furniture over, followed by the door. The villager ran after him. "Get back here!" He shouted after the retreating dragon, but was stricken with fear at the sight of a large swarm of dragons approaching, an incredibly large one in front, followed by a large armada.
Every Viking left their huts to see what the commotion was all about. They soon wished they hadn't. The large beast was getting closer and closer to Berk, several boats followed it along with hundreds of dragons. Hope raised in some of them when a familiar black dragon was seen, flying towards them. A large, buff figure onto of him, whom they could only assume was Stoic. All hope was cruelly crushed when the offspring hovered above them, sat atop of him was an enemy they had hoped to of never come in contact with again. Drago Bloodvist. Most glared at him with distaste, others chased after their retreating dragons, who were now hovering around the large beast, who appeared behind the Night Fury and it's evil rider. "Your Cheif, is dead!" He said with pride in a raucous voice. "Stoic?" Was heard several times from the villagers, along with several gasps. "Berk is mine now". He said to himself, staring smugly at the large village. His attention then fell on the powerful beast he rode. "And so are you". He said, grinning madly as he shook his staff at the alpha behind him.
Without warning, the large dragons foot came crashing down on one of the huts, the other fell near the crowd of Vikings, making some shriek in terror and skater away. The alpha roared, ordering a small group of dragons to descend. They landed in front of the terrified villagers, blocking them from any possible escape. Drago grinned.
Nothing could stop him now, we're his thoughts. Although, he was entirely unaware of the small dragons that appeared in the distance, flying above the angry ocean.
The unthinkable was about to happen. (Mini warning there)

(Astrid P.O.V)

Horror struck my features when Berk came into sight. Tears welled up in my eyes when I saw the alpha destroying anything in its path. Hundreds of dragons flew above its head, circling the ruined island. "I see 'Im!" Gobber yelled, still having a sore face from the nasty crash from before. I followed his outstretched arm, my eyes eagerly searching for a pitch black dragon. I felt slight relief when I saw him, completely unharmed..... I hoped. "There's Toothless!" I shouted, spotting him. The dragon swerved expertly through the village, striking fear into any Viking he flew past. "Alright. Snotlout, you, the twins and Fishlegs distract Toothless, be careful, just...don't hurt him." He said with a gruff voice. They nodded, splitting from us and heading towards the east side of Berk. "Me, Gobber, Heather and Astrid will distract that....thing". He said, gesturing to the alpha, who was currently smashing several catapults. Me and Heather nodded, waiting for Stoic's Mark. "EIH!". Gobber said, a little to exited. Stoic sighed in frustration before turning to Valka."You get our son back". He said with a croaky voice. She nodded, a grim expression on her features. He looked at us sadly. "Let's go". Was all he said as he steered Skullcrusher towards Berk, me, Heather and Gobber following closely. I watched as Valka flew towards Hiccup and Drago, hovering a few meters away. Cries of joy was heard from bellow us. "Stoic!". A woman cried, followed by;
"He's alive!"
"We're saved!"
"Go get 'em Astrid!" My father should the last one loudly. I felt determination fill me. My parents believed in me, they were proud of me. I wasn't going to lose that. Not again. "C'mon!". I shouted, urging the dragon to speed up. Me and Heather circled around the alpha, hollering and shouting as loud and annoyingly as possible. We continued to fly in its face, scraping the babies claws against its rough scales. We continued to circle it for as long as we could. I let the baby fly itself around the beast as I stared at Hiccup. Drago had his staff digging into his neck. Fire flared up in me, all I wanted to do was fly directly at him, and knock him straight of my Hiccup. Sadly, all I could do was hope and pray to Odin that Valka could get through to him.

(Hiccup P.O.V)

I cry out, banging against the invisible cage that kept me in Drago's control. My mother stared at me, tears glazed over her eyes. I tried to reach out to her, scream at her that I'm right here. But all she sees is a monster. A monster of a son that tried to kill both her and my father. Even if I was set free, even if Drago lost, I could never face them again......not after what I did. I- I just couldn't get it around my head. I nearly killed them. That unforgivable, and the consequences should rain spoon me, so I'll make them. The fact that they were hardly injured should ease my self conscious, but It's no where near. I could have stopped, I should have stopped. But I didn't, I didn't try hard enough, and I nearly killed my family. Part of me think I should stay in this prison, but if I do, I might really kill them.
I already know what to do...Ill escape....then I'll leave. Forever.

I was startled when she spoke, her voice kind and caring. Almost genuine. But I knew she hated me, so would Stoic. So would all of Berk.
"Hiccup, it's me. I know your in there....your just hiding, I get it."
No! I shouted out, refusing to believe her and anything she said. She didn't understand....she never will....I tried to kill her, Even if she did forgive me....which she never will.....ill never forgive myself.
"Come back to me, please."
I shook my head, hiding my head between my knees with my hands looped over my head, through my hair.
"He's not yours anymore". A deep, gravely voice said. I grimaced at the sound of his voice. Drago was a monster, there was no doubt about that. But no matter what he's does, even if he kills me..even if he kills everyone else, it still won't compare to what I did. I stared directly into my mothers eyes.
He's not related to them, I am.
I watched solmly when a sob escaped her lips. I mentally smacked myself. It's an act, everything is.
Your a monster...nothing can change that. That's all I knew I could believe.
"I love you."
I gasped, staring at her in shock. She couldn't, She never could....she never will. It's impossible. Who can love a monster? A beast...able to kill.....a beast that has already tried.
"So does Stoic-"
My body shook at the sound of his name. He'll hate me more than anyone else. His son, his only heir....betrayed him. Betrayed his home. Betrayed the people he was suppose to lead, to care for, to protect.
"-and Astrid". Tears welled up in my eyes at the sound of her beautiful name. Astrid. I never hurt her....but I might. I probably will. Even if I don't, her forgiveness is something I'll never recieve. I tried to kill my family, what's to say I won't try to kill her?
"We all love you hiccup, please come back to us".
She begged, her body now shaking. I stood up, her words were hardly effective, they were all fake. But saying here was out of the question. I stared at the invisible bars of the cage. If I told that to anyone, they'd think I'm going crazy....I probably am.
I walked, straight through the bars. The blood red colour that clouded my mind became mist, leaving my sight. My pupils became large, and my teeth disappeared into my gums.

She laughed out in joy. "That's it!" She yelled with a huge grin on her face. I couldn't understand why though. I was free, she can quit the act. "What!?" Drago yelled in Frustration, bringing his staff down In anger. "No!" Valka yelled as the staff came in contact with my side. I fought back a pained cry. I was still confused as to why she was upset about my injury.....I deserved much worse. He went to strike again, but I needed to get out of here. I caught the metal in my mouth, twirling my body around while roughly pulling on the staff. I felt the weight on my back lighten as Drago flew off, yelling out with a strangled voice. His back slammed against the ground, silencing his screams. He grunted, struggling to stand back up. Valka beamed at me, holding out a hand. I roared in distress, flapping my arms roughly, hovering away from her. Her grin slipped away into a confused look. I turned to fly away, but found my path blocked by the alpha. "Attack!" I heard an injured Drago yell from below. The alpha, noticing the downfall of his master, roared weakly. He sunk back into the water, ignoring the angry calls of his master. I sighed, another reason for me to leave. I didn't have to stay, I didn't have to stay to stop the alpha, he gave up when he knew he was in no position to attack. The control he had on the dragons fell. I watched as all the dragons landed, reuniting with their riders. I took this chance of distraction to leave, but Stoic flew up, blocking me. I turned roughly, but was once more blocked by Heather. She was son followed my Astrd, Gobber and Snotlout, who hovered in a circle around me. I tried flying downwards, but Fishlegs gaurded my escape. The twins were above me. I couldn't leave. A pathetic whine came from my throat. "Hiccup, please...just calm down." My eyes darted around, looking for an escape. I roared out in surprise when something cold wrapped around my tail. I was roughly pulled downwards, darting past Fishlegs. I grunted, flapping my wings desperately once I hit the ground. "Hiccup!" Some one yelled. I didn't even bother to look who, or what was happening. My mind was in a haze, I couldn't concentrate on anything. I tried my best to look intimidating when Drago hovered over me, a dark expression on his face. Valka, the gang and every villager of Berk landed around us, un-mounting their dragons with their weapons in hand. Drago looked at Stoic, completely unfazed. Everyone gasped when he pointed the sharp end of his staff to my neck, drawing blood. I whined once more, trying not move, knowing that I could cause serious damage if I did. Part of me wanted to, wanted to die, wanted to pay, wanted to....leave. Even after all of this, They didn't deserve to watch me die, they deserve to let me die. "Stop!" Astrid yelled in destress. I looked at her sadly. I didn't want to leave her, but it's better for her if I do. She's an amazing person, who deserves so much better than me. Drago spoke, sharing his commands to the village, earning horrified gasps from them. I felt the pressure against my neck become lighter, so the tip barely grazed my skin. I turned in my back, biting the staff so it snapped in half. He yelled angrily, pulling out a knife from his back, ready to charge. The metal around my tail was loose, easy to get out of. So I left. I flapped my wings and took off, heading far, far away from Berk. Never looking back.
