1. Chapter 1

Astrid's pov

I'm Astrid Hofferson and I am 15 years old. I'm the fastest and youngest warrior on Berk. Everyone on Berk knows that I am strong and they all think that I have no weaknesses, but I only have one that no one knows. His name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, mostly known as the biggest mistake on Berk. He is my greatest weakness because about 5 years ago we started dating and no one has known about it. It all started when I saw him watching me practice in the woods, we were 10 years old then. I walked up to him and he did his cute stuttering that he always does when he is nervous, I talked to him for a few more months, I got to know the real Hiccup that no one else knew because they all avoided him and he got to know the real Astrid that no one else knows, not the warrior who is really violent, the girl who liked to have fun and just chill out, the girl who had doubts and fear that no one knows of except Hiccup.

We had to keep it all a secret though, if Berk found out that the 'mistake' and the strongest girl were dating they would look down on not just him but me, for falling in love with a goofy dork. But I couldn't and still can't help it. They were times where I wanted to tell people but Hiccup said that he didn't want people to make fun of me too, but that doesn't matter to me all that matters is everyone knowing that am in love with a adorable dork and will always love him.

I was hanging out with Hiccup at the cove where we always hang out because no one will find it. We were looking up at the sunset with my head on his chest and his arms around my waist. We laid down in complete silence but it was comfortable silence. We do this every night when we get to see each because in the daytime I am training and he is normally at the forge making new inventions and helping Gobber.

A question popped up in my head, "Hiccup, when can we tell everyone about us? I'm sick of us just sneaking around all the time." I asked as I put my head up to look him in his forest green eyes.

"I don't want people to make fun of you for being in love with this," he said as he gestured to all of him, "you are happy now, being popular, having high acceptations and people like you. But if they found out about us they would bully you or think that I made you or something like that." He finished off his speech.

"But I don't care about any of that, I only care about you and me and us being together but sneaking around makes it harder for us to see each other. Every time I see you it takes all my strength not to run up to you and hug you or kiss you. And when everyone makes fun of you it makes be want to punch them." I said still staring into his eyes.

"I know but we can do this, our love is a lot stronger than that, we will stick together, but right now we need to keep it a secret until we know people will be nice about it." He said as he pulled my head back down to his chest.

"Fine" I said.

We laid there for about another hour until we heard something move in the bushes. "What was that?" I said as I stood up and grabbed my axe which was laying on the grass next to me.

"I don't know," Hiccup said.

"Hide," Hiccup then went to hide near the big rock while I went to see what the rustling was all about. I went into the forest connected to the cove and followed the sound. When I saw a big black shadow and screamed.
