A/N Hi there! This is Not A Hero. A 'what if Hiccup ran away' story. This one is my version with my own twists. As mentioned, in the summary, this will be following HTTYD 2's plot eventually. And I can guarantee you that no one will die. Update: Repetition fixed. That's all. And I hope you enjoy reading. Have a dragonesque day!

Not A Hero

Chapter One: Leaving

I took a deep breath. Did I do the right thing? I'm sure I did. If I did otherwise, I don't I can live with that burden of killing another living creature. Or in this case, my bestfriend.

You see, I, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III or also known as Useless (unfortunately), managed to take down the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. I set out to kill it. But I can't. I wouldn't. I didn't know why at the time, but I'm glad I let him live because he became the only one who understood me in this place I call home.

If I can even call Berk that.

Now, tomorrow's the day I kill a dragon. Which I don't want to do. So...

I'm planning to run away.

Fly further anyone could've traveled, learn lots of new things, and maybe start a new life. Anything. As long I can get out of this miserable heap of rock.

---

For 15 years, I've been shunned, insulted, teased, bullied by my people. But my father. Oh. It was worse. He always looked at me as if I was a mistake in his life. A hiccup. A runt.

He raised me up with little to no love. If ever there was, I knew it was what they say tough love. And I am not liking it.

I've had enough. I really am leaving.

Tonight.

Without any one of them knowing. Not even Gobber.

---

I have been thinking about what would have happened if I stayed:

First of all, I pretend to kill the Nightmare, screw up, get banished, and he would be killed.

Or

Second, I'll stay here in the Cove. They'll send search parties and eventually come across here. And we'll be. As good as dead.

And

Lastly, Astrid will find out, I will try to explain by taking her on a err, romantic flight, and then we have one on our side.

Guess what, the last one happened.

I am more than ecstatic to have her with us.

But that doesn't change the fact that.

I. Am. Still. Leaving.

A/N Was it good or not? Let me know in the reviews. Until next time,
