Modern AU with Dragons - Astrid was meant to be perfect and have no flaws at all. But she finds out that her weakness is the guy who saved her from a car crash.

Astrid POV

I awoke early in the morning to find the terrible terrors singing on the roof tops, before I got downstairs and got a text from Rachel if I had done the Biology HW. I replied and told her no, and rushed into doing it. Unaware of the time, I quickly became late for school and hopped into my old battered car. It always got me to where I needed to go, despite the bad noises coming from the back of my car. I drove quickly to school and rushed my parking before running into school. Thankfully, I wasn't the only one late. Scott who had been beating Hiccup once again also arrived late and then once again tried to hit on me. Double maths passed slowly and after break I had Religious Studies and then English. After lunch I had double PE which was easy as ever.

The lessons themselves weren't bad, but they were just not enjoyable and I was entirely grateful when school ended. I then pushed my way through the crowds in the corridors before rushing to my car parked across the street and ran across the road without looking.

"Astrid watch out!" I heard a very nasal voice say form behind me.

Then from behind me somebody had pushed me. I picked myself up from the floor, with a large gash along my forearm and elbow. My now ripped jumper and a fine trickle of blood running down me. I then looked to my knees and noticed they were also grazed.

I guess it was at the same time that I had turned around to see the person who had dared to push me, only to find a limp lifeless body lying in front of the road with a large black SUV speeding off into the distance.

I stood there in shock, this lean auburn haired boy had risked his life for mine. People where then suddenly rushing towards me to check if I was alright, but everybody ignored the person who had saved me. In fact, I was wrong a large blonde haired boy named Frank had gone over to the boy.

"For Thor's sake, why aren't you helping Frank with the boy?" I asked rather annoyed that everybody was fussing over me. I was Astrid Hofferson, and I don't need people peering towards me checking if I'm alright when there's a half dead body lying in the road.

"Don't worry it's only useless, it doesn't matter what happens to him." replied Scott.

"He's the mayor's son though, I don't care if you like him or not he saved me"

"He probably couldn't even push you if he tried, I mean he hasn't got biceps like these" said Scott whilst trying to impress me by flexing his muscles.

"What is going on here?" came the voice of Gobber, the mechanics and engineering teacher at our school.

"Useless over there, pushed my Astrid out of the road" said Scott

"Firstly he's not useless otherwise I would be lying there on the road and I'm definitely not yours Scott".

With this Gobber left us to argue whilst calling 999, "Hello, what service do you require?"

"Ambulance" replied Gobber

"Ok, what happened?"

"A boy was knocked down by a car, it looks pretty bad. There's blood all over the road, hurry please"

"Ok, well an ambulance is now on the way, as are the police."

Gobber, quickly put the phone down and rushed over to Hiccup, who was unconscious due to so much pain. "Has he been unconscious for the whole time?"

"Yes, he has, thankfully. The pain must be +30 at least, if not more" said Frank. "Do you think he'll make it?"

"Yeah, it might be tough, but Hiccup is a trooper and he'll survive. He was born early, you know. Doctors didn't think he'd make it through one of the harshest winters I have ever seen, but he did, so he'll get through this as well. "

A few minutes later and the ambulance arrived, rushing Hiccup and me into the ambulance. I told them I didn't need it but, they wouldn't budge, I had to go to hospital with them. Gobber then decided it was a good time to phone Stoick. It went to voicemail, but Gobber left a message anyway. "Hiya Stoick, there's been an incident at school. Hiccup was hit by a car going at 50mph whilst saving the star of my athletics team, Astrid. You must remember her, she was in the newspapers a few weeks ago, winning the archipelagos 5Km race. Anyway, Hiccup is in a pretty bad state and when you get the chance come and see him. Thanks Gobber."

"Typical Stoick, never answering his phone and always too busy to care. Probably won't even visit him in hospital" said Gobber.

"Why not?" I asked, I mean family is family even if I didn't like them I would go and visit them.

"Well you see Stoick blames Hiccup for his wife, Valka's death. He believes if Hiccup hadn't been so relentless on going to visit the dragon enclosure, Valka would still be here. Valka was murdered in front of poor Hiccup who had to witness it all."

"Who did Hiccup survive? Surely the murder would have killed him as well"

"The storey goes on to say that a young Night-Fury had shot a plasma blast through the bars of the cage and protected him and scared him off."

"Wow, that must have so scary for Hiccup. I never knew." No wonder he doesn't like it when Scott takes the piss out of him about losing his mum I thought to myself.

We sat the rest of the journey to the Hospital in a comfortable silence. Once we arrived I was moved into a cubicle were a doctor came and treated my injuries. After they had been treated and I had stayed in overnight for observation, I was released the next morning. However I found that nobody other than Gobber had been and visited Hiccup, but I couldn't deal with the fact that he was lying there in a much worse state than I was because of my stupidity.
