It was the bright morning and the sun was shining down through the gap through the window making me turn onto my side away from the light and groaning. I chucked the blanket over my head not wanting to get out of bed. Suddenly the blanket got chucked off my body creating a shiver make its way down my spine. "Jack what are you doing?" I moaned at him pulling the blanket back over me enveloping the warmth I could gather.

But instead he ripped the blanket back off me and stood above me with a worried look on his face. I only noticed once I blinked a few times to get my site back from that blinding sun. "What's wrong?" I immediately asked. He lowered his head and mumbled "You'd better come and see this," I slowly got out of bed grabbed my axe and headed with Jack to the crowd of people gathered outside Hiccup's house.

I and Jack made our way through the crowd. Heather and the gang looked at us with the same expression with Jack had when I woke up and saw him. Hiccup then stood in front of me and gathered the energy to say "Astrid I'm so sorry," he stood to the side and I saw this lock of blonde hair scattered on the floor. Small hands and legs, blue t-shirt and the spiked skirt I used to have when I was a teenager.

There on the ground was my little sister, April.

(I may have said that Astrid did not have any siblings or family but I quickly changed that for this part sorry for the confusion but now she doesn't have any family just to get that part clear)

I fell to the ground down by her and took hold of her close. I buried my head down into her chest and let the tears fall. I never let anyone see me cry but this time it didn't matter my sister had been killed and there was evidence into who did it. She had a deep wound in the heart where the blood drained her until she looked nothing but a corpse. I felt a hand be placed on my shoulder and someone kneel down next to me.

"Astrid...." they said. I didn't pay attention to who it was this time, mostly because I didn't care. All I cared about was my dead sister resting in my arms not going to give one sign of breath ever again. "She didn't deserve this, she still had a life to live....she did nothing wrong in the world," I cried into her. "I know, I know," they took hold of me and cushioned me close. I fell against them and held onto my sister closely not wanting to let go.

"Astrid we...we need to take her," Jack came next to me and looked at me with the depressed look he never gave often. "No..no...no," I cried even though I knew they should and I nodded while saying no and I watched them take her away. I fell further against the person holding me close. Not until I did I realised that it was Hiccup. I didn't want it to be him but right now I didn't care right now I needed it to be him.

He kept me close to him and wouldn't let go while I sobbed into his clothes. He ran his fingers through my hair and saying things to calm me down. I didn't calm down though I cried further on in my misery. I was distraught. I still am. I wish there was something that I could have done to help her, more importantly it should have been me who died not her. It should never have been her.

My eyes closed after a while with me still leaning against Hiccup. I was back in my house and Hiccup had his head led on the end of the bed. I was a bit surprised to see him asleep there. I got out of bed slowly making sure that I didn't wake him and made my way downstairs. I was about to get something to eat and drink until I saw this white piece of parchment sat on the table staring me in the eyes.

Being the curious person in whom I am, I made my way towards it and took it off the table. Ripped it open and read:

Dear Astrid,

I'm so sorry was that your sister who knew....oh wait of course I did. Remember what I said because I mean like you have already witnessed.

Now take my advice and stay away otherwise face another consequence.....

?????

How the hell couldMerida do this? Who knew that she had it in her?
