AN: (Walks into room and shuts the door causing a stack of unfinished story drafts to fall on me) "I'M OKAY(ish)!!!"

"AAAAAH" Henry bolted down the stairs as a fuming Astrid walked out of his apartment, dragging the splintered and broken in half door behind her.

"Where do you think you're going?" Astrid asked in a deadly voice as her eyes flashed red before throwing what was left of the door at Henry. Henry however managed to avoid getting hit by ducking quickly while bolting down the stairs. "Don't think you can hide from me you dirty weasel!" Astrid shouted before jumping from the second storey balcony and landing in a crouch just as Henry made it down the stairs. The man 'EEEPed' and scrambled to get away. Astrid however was faster and had him pinned down on the pavement with her hand wrapped around his throat.

"A.....A..Astrid" Henry managed to gasp as the vampire pressed down on his trachea.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't snap your neck now." Astrid stated as she leaned over Henry.

"I....... I..... love you." Henry tried to say but it only caused Astrid to laugh menacingly.

"You love me? You.... love me!" She hissed dangerously as her nose was almost touching Henry's. Her sharp incisors had appeared and were close enough to the man's throat. "Tell me why would you lie?" She then asked.

"Astrid I would never lie to you!" Henry managed to get out once she let him breathe again. Astrid gave him a snarl, showing off her pearly whites, before throwing him onto the street. The cars had long ago stopped driving as Astrid had gathered a crowd. No one said anything as Astrid stalked towards Henry who was whimpering and trying to back away. They could feel the predator walking amongst them and either kept quiet or got out of her way quickly. When Astrid reached Henry she placed her black heel on his throat and asked again. "Why did you lie about your mother?" those closest to the commotion could still hear her as it was asked in a very low voice.

"I didn't!" Henry persisted but that just got her heel to press harder on his windpipe.

"Astrid don't!" Was suddenly shouted as the entranced crowd was shoved apart to reveal Hiccup, completely out of breath.

"Hiccup this does not concern you." Astrid muttered as she glanced up at Henry's older brother. Her eyes were completely red causing Hiccup to gasp.

"He's my brother." Hiccup started to plead. "Please, I know he's hurt you but he's the only brother I have."

"This does not involve you." Stated Astrid as she regarded the mechanic in front of her. The bloodlust had been creeping up on her ever since she got mad and lost control. The man standing in front of her smelled so divine that she just wanted to gobble him up.

"Astrid, please...." Hiccup begged as he didn't want to see his brother die. Henry was still struggling to breathe on the pavement and looked at his brother in desperation.

"Hiccup get away from here." Astrid growled low as she eyed him. The struggling Henry was almost forgotten as the eyes of a predator focused on Hiccup. 'His scent was divine' her mind supplied hazily as she regarded the auburn-haired man. 'Prey!' Her mind whispered next as she had sniffed the air. She was slowly losing herself to her base instincts, like how a starved lioness had a tasty zebra simply placed in front of her. Henry let out a whimper causing Astrid to turn her attention back on the struggling man. She cocked her head to the side and bared her fangs just before she was knocked to the ground and off of Henry.

"Little bat get a grip!" Was shouted from above as the person struggled with her. Astrid let or a snarl as she recognized that voice.

"Heather!" She growled dangerously as her eyes had turned a deep crimson red. Astrid began to thrash as Heather held her arms, and her sharp nails away from her face. Astrid's legs kicked out as she was trying to break free and Heather turned her head to see Dagur and Hiccup watching both women in astonishment. Henry had bolted out of there as soon as he was freed.

"Well don't just stand there gaping!" Heather growled at her brother and Hiccup. "Help me out here!" That caused the two men to spring into action. Dagur grabbed Astrid's feet while hiccup held her hands down, freeing Heather to do what she wanted.

"What's happening to her?" Hiccup asked as he worriedly watched Astrid. She didn't even seem to notice what was happening around her.

"Bloodlust kicked in." Heather answered causing Dagur to groan and Hiccup to look at her in confusion.

"What do you mean bloodlust?" he asked as Heather pinched Astrid's shoulder causing her to fall unconscious. "Wait, is that the Vulcan nerve pinch?!" Hiccup could hear Dagur asking. "I thought that didn't work."

"Practice dear brother." Heather mumbled and Hiccup raised a brow. 'This was Dagur's sister?' his mind wondered. Mentally a million questions were spinning around in his head the most prominent was 'How does she know Astrid?'

"You!" Heather said gesturing to Hiccup as she picked up the unconscious Astrid with ease. Heather assessed him for a moment before placing Astrid into his arms. "Take good care of her." She told him as she then turned towards her brother. "Dagur go find her some blood. She'll be hungry when she wakes up."

"You think blood is easy to come by these days?" Dagur asked as Hiccup looked at the siblings in confusion. Astrid, while unconscious had snuggled closer to Hiccup. "What do you want me to do? Rob a blood bank?!" Heather shot Dagur a look that said that he'd better find the blood.

"Wait, what is going on here?" Hiccup asked. He knew what he saw but he could scarcely believe it.

"I'll explain all of this later." Heather turned back towards the auburn-haired mechanic. She could feel that he never meant Astrid any harm and that was why she entrusted her little bat to Hiccup. "She'll be out cold for about an hour. It's time I explained everything."

"Sis, where are you going?!" Dagur asked as Heather was about to leave.

"I promise I'll explain everything, I just need to find out what is going on here." She mumbled before disappearing into the crowd. Hiccup was left holding Astrid in his arms while Dagur went off in the other direction, grumbling about finding blood these days. Hiccup looked down at Astrid as she snuggled closer to him. He then saw the crowd around them, the town folks eyes had gotten big and all were staring in awe at what had just happened.

"Nothing to see here folks." Hiccup told them as he made his way out of the crowd with Astrid.

Heather had left the crowd and was following Henry's scent. She would get to the bottom of this quickly once she'd tracked him down. That little weasel was fast and Heather soon came up to a lot with abandoned warehouses. "So cliche." She mumbled. "Don't bad people have better hiding spots in mind?" She snuck between the warehouses until she came upon her prey. Hiding behind a rusted barrel she could see Henry nervously trying to plead with two men. One was lankier than the other but still well muscled. She assumed that the other one was just a hired gun. Tuning her vampire hearing towards the conversation everything began to make sense. ".......I swear I will get your money Krogan!" She could hear Henry pleading. "I just need more time!"

"More time?" The man named Krogan laughed mirthlessly. "I gave you enough time."

"Krogan please can't we work something out?" Henry pleaded.

"Do you have any idea how many people have asked me that?" Krogan chortled. Heather could see Henry shake his head. "Almost everyone." Krogan answered "And do you know what happened to those who couldn't pay?" Henry let out an audible gulp and Heather supposed he did know.

"You've been working that broad for two weeks now." Krogan continued. "What happened to the conman we all knew. Have you gone soft?"

"I haven't!" Henry shot back.

"Really? Then where is my money?" Krogan asked. "Your romance scams pan out quite a lot. Don't tell me you actually like this broad."

"I...... I... don't." Henry stated. "She just went blabbing to my brother."

"It's not like I care much how you get my money." Krogan mused. "Be it from the broad or from your family. You will pay back the gambling debt you racked up." Henry gulped again. "And you have one day to do it."

"But it's not the end of the week yet!" Henry protested.

"ONE DAY!" Krogan wagged his finger in front of Henry. "Or you'll find out just how sturdy cement shoes are."

Heather was so engrossed in the conversation that she didn't hear someone sneaking up on her. There was a smack, causing the barrel she was hiding behind the fall. Both Krogan and Henry turned to look in the direction of the dazed Heather and the second bodyguard. "What is this?" Krogan hissed.

"Found her snooping boss." The man that had snuck up on Heather replied.

"Well get rid of her!" Krogan hissed before turning back to a shocked Henry. "One day! I don't care how. I want my money."

Meanwhile, Astrid groaned and groggily opened her eyes. She was lying on something soft while she could feel a weight on her belly. When the room finally came into view she noticed that she was in a very soft bed and seated on her was a small black reptile with green eyes and wings. It took a moment for her to register that this reptile was indeed a dragon. When she did she screamed.
