Dark Despair (Book 2: Together Forever)

Chieftess

Delta's POV

"Dad?" I asked. I saw Skullcrusher rush down towards me since I was enjoying a peaceful night.

Skullcrusher landed in front of me, "I'm sorry." He said and bowed his head.

"What happened?"

"He wanted to attack Viggo so we did. He landed on the ship and was ambushed by his hunters. One hit him in the heart with an arrow. He's dead. I'm sorry."

"No. NO! N-OOO-OOO-OO-oooooooo!" I cried, my voice breaking. My dad. Gone. First Hiccup. Now him.

Then a horrible thought struck me, I'm the Chieftess. I can't be the Chieftess. I'm not ready and I have four children.

I was on my knees now with my head in my hands. Tears flooding my eyes. 

"Delta? Are you okay?" My mom called.

I turned and ran to my mom. Letting her hold me in her arms while I worked up the courage to tell her of her husband's death.

"He's dead, mom. He's dead. Dad's dead."

"No. He can't be." I saw the tears roll down my mother's cheeks. I felt a cool rage flood me.

I ran towards the edge of the rock and leaped, shifting midair. I flew. Following the fading scent of Skullcrusher towards the ship.

Eventually, I found it. Filled with arrows, blood, and scorch marks.

I dropped onto the deck of the ship. Right behind the steering wheel. The remaining men faced me. I shifted.

"My name is Delta Magnhild Haddock," I began and drew my sword. "I am the daughter of Stoick the Vast. And I've come for revenge, for you killed my father."

I was about to charge when I saw a man turn around at the front of the ship, "Now, Delta. I wouldn't have come here if I were you." He took off his hood and white hair gleamed in the sunlight.

"Y-you killed him." I stuttered in shock, then icy rage flooded my veins. "YOU KILLED HIM!" I shouted and his eyes widened. "You killed my brother. And now I've come to avenge them both."

I shifted and rolled out of the way of the arrows. I flew straight at him. Grabbing my enemy in my claws and tearing away his bow with my teeth.

I threw him at a cliff and shifted. I held a knife to his throat when he woke up.

"Any last words, Fury Killer? Before I avenge every Night Fury and every Light Fury you killed. Before I avenge my brother and father. For the pain, you put me and my family through when you killed Hiccup."

"I'm not in the business of killing humans. But-" He seemed to be remembering something, "I ne'er killed that Fury. He was rescued by Thunderdrums."

I didn't want to trust him. I didn't want to hear another word from him. But I had to know if he was telling the truth, "How did you escape then?"

He smiled, "There was a tunnel that leads through the island I had left him before the Thunderdrums came."

"Liar," I hissed in his ear as I killed him and avenged those he wronged. I left my knife beside him and flew off.

Is it possible? Is Hiccup really alive? It's not he would've killed him then entered the cave.

Darkstar's POV

I heard Delta's cry and flew towards her as fast as I could.

I arrived at the top of the waterfall and found my mother-in-law crying.
