Chapter 5

It was a warm and sunny day and Hiccup and Astrid were strolling through the park. "So you'll come?" She asked excitedly.

"Of course Astrid. I would love to meet the rest of your family." Hiccup told her as they walked along the path. The birds were chirping and a warm breeze blew by causing some of Astrid's hair to fly into her mouth. She sputtered which caused Hiccup to laugh.

"Har har" Astrid smiled as she playfully punched Hiccup on the shoulder. They rounded the corner when they spotted the twins sitting under a tree. I looked like they were moping about.

"Well that is new." Hiccup commented as they approached the twins. "Usually they're off causing chaos."

"Hi guys" Hiccup and Astrid greeted as they stood before them. Ruffnut and Tuffnut only looked up slightly, mumbled a low "Hello", before going back to picking at the grass.

"Okay what is going on you two?" Astrid asked confused. She might have only known the twins for a short while but them sitting quietly like this was making her worried.

"Not much." Ruffnut mumbled then looked around the nearly empty park. "Why are you guys here today?"

"Well we were heading to a restaurant because Astrid melted my counter and talking about meeting the rest of her family." Hiccup told them. He saw their eyes light up briefly at the comment.

Astrid huffed. "It's not like I did it intentionally."

"Astrid I don't think you did it intentionally or accidentally. You were just boiling an egg." Hiccup mumbled as he scratched his head in confusion.

"Eh.... I think Hiccup should do the cooking from now on." Tuffnut stated as he looked between the two.

"That's what my father said." Astrid huffed as she crossed her arms.

"Well you did give Lucifer food poisoning." Hiccup brought up. "And you did mention that your little brother ran to the toilet after trying your..... What did you call it again....oh yeah, yaknog."

Astrid's eye twitched as the twins tried to stifle their laughter. She then turned back to them. "Don't think this is over. No changing the subject anymore!"

"Well......." Ruffnut started but before she could say anything else Eret appeared from out of some bushes brandishing a stake and silver cross in one hand.

"Stop right there you demon!" He shouted as he pointed the stake at them with one hand while getting the leafs out of his hair with his other hand. "You will not escape the best demon hunter ever!" He boasted.

"Oh boy" Hiccup mumbled as he saw Astrid stiffen and the twins looking confused.

"Eret aren't you a gigolo?" Hiccup asked aloud.

"That was only my cover!" Eret proclaimed. "I used to get close to the demons!"

"Now Eret, maybe we can talk about this. Astrid isn't...." Hiccup started but was cut off by Eret who looked at him perplexed. "Astrid? Why would I target Astrid?"

"If not Astrid then who are you targeting?!" Hiccup now asked. This whole situation was getting confusing.

"Who else but those two demons there!!" Eret stated while pointing to the twins.

"Us!" Tuffnut and Ruffnut shouted while Astrid and Hiccup shouted in unison "Them!"

"Eret sweety I'm no demon." Ruffnut laughed as she latched onto his bicep lightning fast. Eret let out a girlish scream and swung his arm wildly, trying to get the woman off. "Get off me you hellspawn!" He shouted but that just made Ruffnut giggle.

"No need to play hard to get Eret baby" Ruffnut said as she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively before purring "We could have so much fun." Meanwhile Tuffnut was gagging at his sister's antics again.

"Let's settle down here." Hiccup said as he got between Ruffnut and Eret. "I can assure you that the twins aren't demons." Hiccup said to Eret. "Ruffnut, maybe you should try flowers first?" He suggested to Ruffnut who went from glaring at Hiccup to looking pensive.

"So you want me to believe that the twins aren't demons." Eret mumbled. "Chaos follows in their wake. What are they if not demons?"

"Well technically I would tell you that they are angels but I doubt you'd believe that with the whole chaos and destruction following them." Hiccup stated as Eret let out a disbelieving scoft. "Let's just say the twins are just the twins and the chaos has nothing to do with them being demons."

"All this activity has gotten us off track." Astrid stated with her hands on her hips. She then pointed a finger at Ruffnut "You no chasing demon hunters until after the first date." She then pointed to Eret "You no chasing after these two."

"But it's my job!" Eret tried to argue.

"Today it isn't." Astrid said with a voice of authority. "Now sit and be a good demon hunter!"

Eret gulped as he looked at Hiccup's girlfriend. It looked like the woman was very serious.

Astrid then turned back to the twins. "Alright what has you two in such a slump?"

Tuffnut couldn't take it anymore and wailed "CHICKEN IS GETTING SACRIFICED BY A CULT!"

"That....... was not the answer I was expecting." Hiccup mumbled. "What exactly happened?"

"Well......." Ruffnut let out a nervous chuckle. "We were near a ranch out of town and were watching this cult that had established its base there. These guys were worshipping Lucifer, and you know what a hottie he is." Ruffnut giggled as Astrid rolled her eyes a little.

"So a cult worshipping Lucifer on the outskirts of town." Hiccup muttered. 'What next, a ballet performed by angels?' he asked himself. "How did they even get your chicken?"

Eret nodded as he was wondering that as well. Tuffnut twiddled his thumbs. "We maybe, kind of, joined the cult." He murmured.

"YOU TWO DID WHAT!" Hiccup and Astrid shouted in unison. Eret winced at the volume.

"Hey, it looked fun!" Ruffnut defended. "They were blowing up stuff and worshipping a hottie. What more could this gal ask for?!"

"Why do I have a feeling that the decision to join the cult was entirely Ruffnut's idea." Eret muttered as he listened to the story.

"So anyway, we join" Tuffnut told them "But we ended up getting kicked out last night."

"Wait....... You got kicked out by a cult?" Eret asked while looking at the twins with wide eyes. "We are talking, brainwashing, increase members at all cost type of cult right?" He asked just to be sure. The twins nodded. "I'm afraid to ask what you two did to get tossed out." Eret was sure the sentiment was shared by Hiccup and Astrid.

"You know that still doesn't explain the chicken thing." Hiccup spoke up.

"Those....... Those... people kept Chicken!!" Tuffnut cried and used Eret as a handkerchief. "They are planning to sacrifice him tonight!"

"Like hell they will!" Astrid suddenly exclaimed before she turned to Eret. "You have a car right?"

"Yes...." Eret quickly answered.

"Good, then you're taking us up to that ranch."

"I am?" Eret asked as he looked a bit scared of Astrid's forcefulness.

"We are getting that chicken back!" She proclaimed.

"We are?!" Tuffnut exclaimed. "WOOOOHOOOO!!!"

And so a reluctant Eret, a flirty Ruffnut, an ecstatic Tuffnut and a hungry Hiccup drove out to the ranch where the cult held its activities.

"Astrid, what are you going to do?" Hiccup asked as he saw a glint of madness in her eyes.

"Oh don't worry honey." Astrid assured. "I'm just going to make sure that these people don't take what doesn't belong to them."

"Uhm..... okay...." Hiccup mumbled as they arrived. Astrid got out of the car and sashayed over to the two guards at the gates who stood alert as they noticed her approaching. Before anyone could blink she had them knocked out and on the ground.

"Well are you guys coming?" Astrid asked before making her way inside.

"Hiccup, your girlfriend is badass." Eret stated as the four got out of the car and followed after her, being careful to step over the guards who were knocked out. When they walked into the ranch itself they did not see Astrid.

"Where could she have gone?" Hiccup asked aloud. His question was soon answered when someone flew through a window. "Nevermind." Hiccup said as they went to the building. Inside was already a mass of chaos as Astrid was humming while taking out guard after guard and making her way up to the altar where a man, who seemed to be the cult leader, was pressed up against the wall out of fear.

"Hiccup why does Astrid have horns?" Eret asked as he watched the fight play out. Hiccup hadn't noticed it at first as he was to used to Astrid in her demon attire but he did raise an eyebrow and wondered why she changed.

"Eh......" He said glancing at Eret as another man flew across the pews. "Well, like I said, the twins are angels and astrid, well, she's the demoness." Hiccup let out a nervous chuckle as Eret watched with wide eyes.

"I....... did not expect this." Eret murmured as Astrid finally reached the altar. The twins were cheering her on as she grabbed the cage that they had stuffed Chicken in. She then turned towards the cult leader and said in a very dark and deadly voice "Don't you ever take anything from my friends again. Do you understand me?"

The man was literally shaking as he came face to face with an actual demon. He tried to get a word out but only a small squeaking sound left his mouth.

"Do. you. Understand. Me?" Astrid asked pointedly. The man quickly nodded. Satisfied Astrid turned around, with cage in hand, as the cult leader sagged down against the wall whimpering. Astrid proceeded to hand the cage to Tuffnut who squealed in delight before taking Chicken out and hugging her.

Astrid turned to Hiccup and then purred in his ear causing him to shiver "Come on honey. I could use a big lunch and then maybe dinner."
