I suggest watching the httyd "Lies a Warrior" Video. If you go to youtube and search "Httyd Lies a Warrior" It should be the first video to come up. (It's the video that's by theNightFury95)It is AMAZING! And it inspired me to do this one shot collection. =)

Anyway I really hope ya'll enjoy this, and without further ado let's get into the one shot.

Rating: T

Time-Line: Sometime during Race To The Edge

Summery: Viggo mentally breaks Astrid while she's captured. Hiccup comforts her.

Quote: "She looked at me with the beauty of an angel. Except she was broken. It was the beauty of a broken angel. But why did this broken angel have to be Astrid?"

Song Lyrics: You fascinated me. Cloaked in shadows and secrecy. The beauty of a broken angel.

"Astrid!" I shouted running towards her. She was in a sell, her knees drawn up to her chest, looking absolutely terrified. I fumbled with the keys I had stolen from a guard, and finally managed to unlock the door.

As soon as I had it open I ran in, crashing to my knees, I grabbed her hand, I expected her to look up at me, smile, say she was happy to see me, ask what took so long, but what I was NOT expecting was for her to scream bloody murder the second I touched her.

"Astrid! Astrid what's wrong? Are you hurt?" I panicked. She stared at me eyes wide, panicked, confused. Lost. Scared. Something that was very seldom to see in the young Hofferson women.

I heard guards coming down the hall, I didn't have time to figure out what was wrong with her, I had to get her safe, and then I could help her. I quickly picked her up bridal style, and ran through the halls of the ship, up to the deck where I saw-

"Toothless!" The dragon stopped firing at all the hunters and quickly bound over to his rider. "Come on Bud, get us out of here,"

Toothless had just spread his wings to take off, when Hiccup heard a slow sarcastic clap coming from behind him. Hiccup slowly had Toothless turn around.

The dragon growled at the man standing there smiling. "Viggo." I growled at him. What had he done to Astrid?

"Well, Well, Hiccup Haddock. Looks like you found the prize. although I regret to inform you that I don't think she'll be much help to you in her current state."

"What did you do to her?" I said through clenched teeth. "Simple really...I broke her." He said a smile playing on his lips. Seething, I was about to do something drastic. I didn't really know what I was going to do next but whatever it was it would've been drastic.

Until I heard a week voice mumble. "No, Hiccup...please...don't..." I looked down at the beautiful girl in my arms, as she pleaded for me to leave him alone.

"This isn't over Viggo!" I shouted, before Toothless took off and we raced towards the edge.

(AN/ That was an unintended pun. =P)

As soon as we got there the rest of the gang surrounded us. "Did you get her?" "Is she alright?" "Thank Thor you found her." "What happened?"

"Everybody just calm down, I don't know what they did to Astrid yet. Snotlout can you and the twins get some medical supplies and bring it to her hut?"

They nodded and ran off to get it. "And Fishlegs, can you bring her some broth for when she wakes up?" He nodded, and went to go do as asked.

Then Toothless and I took off towards Astrid's hut.

Soon we had her tucked in bed, I ran a finger through her hair, taking note of the slight fever she had. Which had me concerned. I wet a rag, in cold water, and rested it on the back of her neck. She moaned her eyes fluttering open. "Astrid." I breathed.

"Hic-Hicup. A-Are you...there?" She groaned. "Yes. I'm right here." I said taking hold of her hand.

"What happened out there?" I asked herr, as she became more aware of her surroundings. "He...He said that it was all fake, that you didn't need us...he knew about all the horrible things we did to you...before you found Toothless. He said you would leave us...and then he would capture you...and...and..."

She looked up at me, crystal blue eyes shining with tears. She looked at me with the beauty of an angel. Except she was broken. It was the beauty of a broken angel. But why did this broken angel have to be Astrid?

"Astrid. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. I won't let anything else happen to you."

"Promise?" She mumbled drifting off to sleep again. "Promise." And within moments she was asleep.

He laid her back down and tucked her into her bed. And after hesitating slightly, he bent down and kissed her forehead.

"I'll never leave you Astrid. I will always be here for you...I...I love you..."

She cracked her eyes open, startling me somewhat. "I love you too Hiccup." And with that she fell asleep again, drifting off into peaceful slumber.
