The house was a mess.
it looked as if a blizzard passed through it.
clothes scattered everywhere, broken plates on the ground, he looked around searching for a certain blonde haired blue eyed women, but she was nowhere in sight.
"astrid" he called out. Once
hearing no response he tried moving up to the kitchen, there was water on the ground near the frame of the half open door
Finding no one in he tried calling again "are you in here love?"
leaving the kitchen and heading towards the stairs, he knew she would probably be in their room
On his way he passed by the empty nursery room, the room which was meant for their child Diana has she survived.f.
Deep in his heart he guessed what happened and he prayed to odin that this thought isnt reality.
Ascending the stairs he stood in front of his bedroom hearing soft sobs his heart broke a thousand times over
what he guessed might as well be facts.
"astrid open the door sweat heart" he whispered gently, he knew she could hear him, this wasn't the first time after all,
the first time she was day they lost the first child,he was devastated but he stayed strong for her and for his mother though astrid didnt take the loss well, she was broken for months barely eating her frame got slightly thinner her competitive spirit was dulled down to a meer shallow soul
and there was no stormfly to help him comfort her and pick up the pieces and put them back together
No toothless to help him fix her.
He heard soft whimpers,knocking softly on the door.
"What ever happened im here my love just please open the door and let me in"
A few seconds later the locks clicked and ever so slowly his wife appeared, her eyes buffy and shining, fresh tears on the brink of falling
He stepped in and hugged her his hand travelled to her hair massaging it softly
"its alright" he whispered guiding her to their bed "everything is gonna be alright"
They sat down on the bed her face buried in his chest, After a min she finally spoke her voice breaking between words
"pro-mise me" her voice just above a whisper
"pro-mise me you would ne-ver leave me"
"promise me you would never leave me and marry another women"
Where did that come from he wondered, felling his shirt damping from tears
"promise that you will never stop loving me" she whispered into his chest
"I promise" he says holding her tighter and kissing the top of her head
"I promise you with my live" she relaxes a bit but she continued to whimper and sob
Astrid clung to him as if he was the only thing keeping her from falling down a deep and steep cliff. After a few minutes he felt her hands getting lighter and her breaths evening out, but her face was still buried in his chest
Guessing she is asleep he tried getting up to take of his metal leg but a hand held him in place
"stay please" she finally revealed her face, puffy red eyes flushed cheeks and a sad expression he saw once and wished to never see again
"ofcourse" he answered and returned to her side they laid back her head lying between his arms, his hands automatically traveling to her back holding her tight to him.
After a few minutes of silence she said in a soft low whisper
"never leave me please" as she drifted of to sleep "i cant lose you" breaths getting interrupted with a shaky raged words
"not after what happened"
He wanted to know what happened this morning
He wanted to find who did this or what
And he swore on the gods that if a person did this to his wife. they would be blood eagled the next day
But now his wife needed him
And nothing will take him away from her
Not even a night flight with toothless
Gods he missed toothless.
