Hello there! Here I am again with another fanfiction! XD
Sorry about the whole weekend and this Friday and Thuersday thing…
Well I hope you like The Depths Of Mind. This was the fanfiction that had more votes. If you wanted another one instead of this fic I can assure you you'll have it. They're all going to be written. XP
I hope this fanfic to be better than the last one. I have to admit that I don't know what to think about the last one-shot but I was really tired that day and since I'd promised to post it I wrote it anyway. Well today I have more energy so I hope my job to be better!
Enjoy the first chapter of The Depths Of Mind! XD
It was such a beautiful day for such dark times.
Hiccup stumbled in an attempt to mount Toothless before he no longer could. The daylight started blinding him. Oh the sunlight…. The light he didn't see for what seemed an eternity.
Toothless too seemed dizzy with the amount of no-darkness outside.
Behind them the soldiers were getting closer. Hiccup literally fell on Toothless' saddle and clicked the dragon's tailfin. They were airborne.
Ryker yelled something to his men that probably meant "Don't let them escape idiots!". Hiccup had been through this moment too many times the past…. he didn't even know for how long the Dragon Hunters held him captive.
Several nets were shot towards them. Hiccup however had already memorized the place of the catapults and the soldiers' positions so he avoided all of them. An arrow clawed his arm near the shoulder but Hiccup didn't even stir. Pain wasn't that bad anymore. He and Toothless shot in the direction of the sky above them; the deep blue form where they would be free again.
Viggo's secret base was left behind, becoming a small dot on the horizon and Ryker's screams vanished progressively .
Hiccup's whole body was shaking. Every breath he gave hurt more than the previous one. His clothes were all tattered. From his newly made wound on the arm drained a red liquid all over his limb.
Toothless fought to beat his wings. He and Hiccup had barely eaten any food, drank any water or slept since they were caught by the Dragon Hunters. They didn't even have energy to celebrate their hard escape.
The two friends flew in the direction of the Edge. Every beat of wings harder than the last one.
Astrid held a desperated sob.
Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug and Barf and Belch soared over the ocean. One of the Dragon Hunter's outpost and the recently made smoke rising from the destroyed structures, were left behind.
Astrid held the map on her hands. She drew an 'x' on top of the same outpost burning behind them and sighed.
For the past two weeks and a half they'd been looking for Hiccup and Toothless but… apparently luck wasn't on their side.
This 'x' marked their failure. From all the small outposts here and there they hadn't found what they were looking for. WHO they were looking for. Astrid couldn't help but think the worst.
It was horrible. Being away from Hiccup for that long. She just wished them to be ok. They all did.
Fishlegs looked at her. "This was the last one… Now what?" He asked sadly. Hiccup was his best friend and all he wanted was to find him.
"Maybe he went on some vacation!" Tuffnut tried.
"Lucky him. It's always H who gets to do the best stuff…" Ruffnut muttered.
"Hiccup didn't go on vacation…" Fishlegs tried putting some sense on the twins' heads.
"Yeah you're right…" They muttered back.
"How do we even know they were captured? Maybe they went on a trip or on a dragon geeking mission… you know Hiccup" Snotout tried.
" Yeah I do. And a 2 weeks trip Snotlout? Really? Without warning!? That is NOT Hiccup" Astrid snapped. "Besides don't you find weird that neither Viggo nor Ryker were on any of their bases? Not even on the main one! This at the same time that Hiccup and Toothless vanish from the map! They're not even at Berk remember? They were captured for sure. And we need to find them! We have to! Now."
"But Astrid… our dragons are tired. And believe, I want to find Hiccup as much as you do!" Fishlegs cried.
Astrid lowered her head. Where are you Hiccup? She remembered his shinning green eyes and that cute smile he had. Everything he did to help her fight the Scourge of Odin and now… she couldn't even return the favor. Shecouldn't imagine a world without him… "But we need to find them…" She muttered.
"Maybe it was Toothless who went on vacation!" The twins shouted in such sync that it looked planned.
Astrid rolled her eyes and tried to ignore the Thorstons.
"I can send Heather a letter when we arrive at the Edge. No one knows the Dragon Hunters better than her. She was infiltrated remember?" Fishlegs suggested.
Astrid looked at him with thankful eyes. "Yes! Do that. I'm sure she can help us!" She agreed with a little bit of new hope in her voice.
They kept flying towards the Edge.
The riders landed in front of the Clubhouse and everyone but Fishlegs dismounted.
"I'll pass over my hut and grab some paper and charcoal to write the letter. I'll be right back!" With this Meatlug took off towards the boy's house.
Astrid looked at Hiccup's hut and entered the Clubhouse, followed by the others.
They all sat around the round table with the fireplace in the middle. Ruffnut started cooking and the others just stared at her, waiting for Fishlegs. Astrid opened the map in front of her to see all of the 'x' covering the islands they had already visited and left without Hiccup and Toothless.
Fishlegs walked in followed by Meatlug. The yellow and orange sunlight that broke through the door told them that another day was finishing and that the sun was disappearing again.
Fishlegs dropped the material on a free space on the table and, grabbing the charcoal, started to write. "I hope she can help us…" He muttered.
"Oh when I find Hiccup he's so gonna…" Snotlout started but was interrupted by a huge THUMP! outside. They all looked towards the door.
Astrid was the first one to react. She ran towards the door with others behind her. Ruffnut's fish slowly starting to burn.
Astrid's heart jumped out of her mouth. She watched as Toothless closed his eyes and let his wings fall loosely besides him, his head landing on the floor abruptly. She ran forwards and opened her arms to catch Hiccup who did the same as the Night Fury (only he didn't have wings) and fell limply to the side of his dragon.
"Hiccup!" She fell to her knees to catch the boy who would've crashed against the ground if she wasn't fast enough. The others ran forward.
"Hiccup!" She called, holding him tightly in her arms, his head hanging loosely from downwards.
Astrid looked all over Hiccup. He had his left arm full of blood that flowed from a wound near his shoulder. There were several scratches all over him and his hair was full of dust. His clothes were all tattered and he, just like Toothless, seemed to have lost weight. A big red stain covered his armor on the ribs. She pushed him even more against her so his pale head could fall against her chest.
Astrid looked at Toothless and then up at her friends who looked as scared, worried and confused as she was.
The question wasn't, 'Where's Hiccup and Toothless?' anymore. Now the question was, 'What happened to Hiccup and Toothless?'
Sooo this was it. Aaannndd- I'm being bad again! Help me! Why do I do these things?! *cries*
Oh well, there's nothing else to say really sooo… I'm just gonna go with a you can start voting on the story you want next and hope you enjoyed this chapter.
PS: Please don't be mad at me for the whole Hiccup and Toothless… situation… Translating: Please don't kill me!" XD
