Hello everyone! I am so, so, so, so, sorry for not updating but with the amount of coursework I still have and the fact that I spent 3 weeks in Florida (DISNEY!) I haven't had time to write anything! I would have tried to update in Florida as I was just chilling where I was staying most of the time but the free Wi-Fi was just terrible! Couldn't even read fanifcs because of it! well I have been reading them while I have been back here and there and got inspiration for this one which will basically be a What if for my Tiger Fury series, if you haven't read that yet I would appreciate it if you did and maybe even drop a review? Anyway here we go! Chapter 1 of What if…

Sven's PoV

All I could do is wait. All I could do was sit outside and wait listening to my wife screaming for the life of her, giving birth to my son/daughter (hope it's a son). She has been in that state for the last 2 hours and I'm starting to worry. What if she doesn't make it? No! Don't think like that Sven you're a warrior and a Viking! As I continue my pacing which I didn't even know I was doing, the door suddenly opened up to one of the healers.

"Well? Is she alright? What's going on?" I was so nervous what if she didn't make it?

"She's fine Mr Hofferson, and the baby is also fine. I just came to tell you, you are allowed to see her now." She said it so calmly which made me a lot calmer because she was calm. She stepped to the side to allow me to walk past her and as soon as I see her a smile crosses my lips to see a baby crying in her arms. They're both ok.

"Hey" My wife Phlegma said quietly due to pure exhaustion.

"Hey. How are you?" I'm so concerned about her, this is our first child and I want to make sure both my wife and my baby are alright.

"I'm fine" she smiled reassuringly. "Would you like to meet…" please be son, please be son! "… daughter?" Noooo! I still smile at her as I walk over and sit next to her on the bed she is resting on. She hands the little baby girl to me, and I take her noticing how small and petite she is. But all the same she is beautiful and is still a part of me. As I cradle her my love leans her head on my shoulder and gently falls asleep. This doesn't surprise me. I start to play with the little girl in my arms with my finger and as she goes to grab it I jerk back in surprise. Are those scales on her arms? I think they are! I don't know what to do; my daughter appears to be part dragon! The very thing that I am sworn to kill! Especially after what happened to my brother Finn. I gently wake Phlegma up which she immediately groans about.

"This is serious love. Our child has been cursed." At that she bolts up.

"What!?" for someone who is completely exhausted she still can shout.

"Look at her arms" And when she looks at them she gasps and hugs me tightly obviously wanting this to be a dream. I hug her back with one my right arm, left arm still holding the child into my chest.

"What do we do?" She asked fear staining her voice.

"Hide it. Even though she is part dragon she is still our daughter and I don't want anything to happen and maybe it's not permanent. We just have to cover her arms and hopefully we will be fine." I try to say confidently hoping that she doesn't freak out too much.

"Ok" she finally sighs as I lay down and she rest her head on my chest. Soon we are drifting to sleep with my wife in my right arm and my child in my left. Please don't be cursed.

Astrid's PoV

I woke up to my scales itching again. Grrr why do they itch so much!? I get up and get dressed. Grabbing my arm wraps and run downstairs to where I can smell breakfast. I run into the kitchen where my mum is cooking and my dad was sitting at the table.

"Good morning Mum, Good morning Dad" I said as I approached my chair.

"Good morning Astrid" My Mum said but my Dad just gave me a nod of acknowledgement. I know for a fact that both of them hate me for my scales but my Dad also wanted a Son and not a Daughter so he is harsh with me as he thinks it's my fault that my scales are still on my arm, I have tried desperately to cut them off with a dagger but my Mum caught me and said I should never do it again. My Mum makes an effort to try and make me feel loved but it doesn't work when my Dad doesn't try as well. My Mum served the breakfast and the room fell to silence.

"So what are you 2 planning to do today then?" My Mum asked.

"Well I'm going on a fishing trip around noon today for a couple of days so that we can eat and survive" He was very blunt and un-enthusiastic about everything.

"That's great, honey." Clearing her throat she turns to me. "And what about you Astrid? What do you have planned?"

"I'm just going to spend the day in the forest again." I say without looking up.

"You spend a lot of time in the forest. I hope your being careful out there." My Mum was starting to get forceful now for my wellbeing.

"I am. Don't worry." I said giving my Mum a reassuring smile, which she returned.

After breakfast I put on my wrappings and grabbed my cloak and said my goodbyes to my Mum who was by the door to say our goodbyes. We hugged and then I started my walk to the forest. When I walked past village people, I would receive 'hellos' and 'good mornings' from several Vikings. Then I saw the group of kids my age. They were all looking at me and sniggering so I just looked at the ground and continued on. Once I was far enough in the forest I let my senses take over sniffing and listening with my very sensitive senses. I believe it is probably something to do with my dragon scales and me being part dragon. I then caught the scent of the person I had been spending my time with.

Hiccup.

Flashback start.

I was wondering through the forest to my spot on the cliff side. From this spot I can sit down and just feel the wind on my face making me feel a little like I'm flying. Oh I wish I could fly. That way I could fly away from my troubles. I came across the cliff and sat down like usual. I closed my eyes and just enjoyed the feeling of the wind on my face when my senses kicked in. I could hear and smell someone nearby.

"I know your there." I said making whoever was behind me flinch as I heard the bush move behind me. "You can come out, I don't care what horrible things you have to say just get it over with." I said bracing myself for the comments.

"I-I'm not h-here to m-make fun of you" a small and stuttered reply came from behind me. I turn around to see a boy my age that I recognise as the other kid who was picked on. I couldn't think of anything to say so I let manners take over me.

"Wanna come and sit down?" I was expecting rejection but was surprised when he came over and awkwardly sat down next to me. We sat in an awkward silence until I decided to break it. "I'm Astrid Hofferson. What's your name?" I asked but then quickly added "Not because I don't pay attention. Just because I'm don't know any of the villagers except My Mum and Dad. Though I do know you are the chiefs son." I had said this sheepishly.

"I-Its fine. I'm H-Hiccup" He said again stuttering.

"Why are you nervous?" I asked confused why he would be nervous around someone like me.

"Because you are my chance to have a friend and I don't want to blow it." He said not stuttering this time. Must be because of the seriousness of the words.

"Don't worry. I don't have any friends either. And you don't see me being nervous." I said giving him a smile. He smiled back and relaxed a bit.

We talked for a while and we soon started to laugh with each other.

Flashback end.

I approached the cliff where I saw Hiccup sitting on the edge with his sketch book out and he was drawing the sea stacks visible from the view at the cliff. I went over and sat down next to him.

"Hey!" I said to him in my generally happy voice.

"Hey!" He replied looking up and smiling at me. I smiled back. I look at his drawing and he allows me to look.

"You are an amazing drawer, you know that?" He smiled and even had a little blush.

After an hour we went to explore the forest. We climbed trees and explored coves. We even climbed some mountains to caves. I heard dragons all around me but was hidden and loved the peacefulness of the scene. Soon it was sunset and we headed back just in case of dragon attacks. We parted at the edge of the forest to stop suspicion of being friends (I told him about my parents not wanting me to have friends). I reached home to find dinner on the table. It was still as awkward as normal. A few hours after being in my room and looking at my scales I heard the shouts of Vikings alerting us of dragon attacks. My Mum told me to go the underground bunker. I ran down the stairs and out the backdoor into a full out raid already. I ran around the back of houses avoiding fire streams and sheep being flung around. Then I bumped into something black. I back up quickly and froze on the spot. There staring right back at me was the legendary offspring of lightning and death itself. It had big green eyes that were almost cute.

It sniffed the air and looked at my arms exactly where my scales were located. Did it know? It started to approach me carefully and when I back up in fear it reared back and gave me a… Toothless smile? I reached out to touch it. Don't ask why it just came as like a second instinct. It came closer and allowed me to pet its nose. I laughed at how the dragon started to act like an oversized cat. What a dragon was acting like an oversized cat? What is happening? Suddenly I hear the battle cry of my Mum. The dragon went to full alert and took off. But before I knew what was happening, my shoulders had been taken a hold of and I was several feet in the air. My Mum was screaming for the dragon to realise me and I saw in the distance Hiccup stop what he was doing and look at me in the paws of a Night Fury. For some reason I didn't feel terrified. The dragon hadn't hurt me. Actually I know this is wrong but I was actually enjoying the feeling of being in the air.

After an hour the Night Fury decided he couldn't be bothered to hold me anymore, as I suddenly found myself being thrown into the air, I started to scream thinking it just wanted to drown me away from Berk. I closed my eyes as I was falling through the air. But to my surprise I land on something. I open my eyes to see the Night Fury looking up at me with a smirk on his face if that is even possible.

I had somehow fallen asleep on the Night Fury. I figured if it wanted to eat me then it would have by now. So I felt comfortable in his presence. I was awoken by a loud grown. I open my eyes and looked around to see I was surrounded by dragons. I was still perched on the Night Fury who seemed to be talking to the dragons. Lots of them started to sniff the air and then nodded to something. The Night Fury then took off again, gently, which I was thankful for. We then came out into a huge ice cavern which was beautiful. We landed on a ledge and the Night Fury knelt down. I took it as a sign to get off so I slide off.

I looked around the cave when suddenly a shadow appeared above me. I turned around to see a dragon that at the moment all I could see was the head but the head as massive. It started to communicate with the Night Fury. After a few roars exchanged to each other the Night Fury turned to me and then started to nudge at my arm wrappings.

"What do you want, boy?" I asked the Fury surprised I was even this close to a dragon rather than a Night Fury. He shook his head in a negative way. He then nudged my arm wrappings again.

"You want me to take them off?" He then nodded his head and then nudged my head with his in a friendly gesture. I laughed and started to take the wraps off. Once they were off the Fury started to roar at the gigantic dragon again. He then pinned me to the floor after the giant dragon replied. I became fearful until the Fury gave me a reassuring looking face. I relaxed a little, but when he cut my chest open I started to scream and struggle in pain. He then bit his arm and then let his blood drip into my cut that made the pain worse and started to scream even more. I heard wing beats around me but couldn't see the dragons as my eyes were shut with pain. Then I heard the huge dragon approach and then felt a huge drop of something landed on my chest the pain was too much and I suddenly lost consciousness.

Well hope you enjoyed! Please drop a review; I want to know your opinion! Will be posting next chapter when I can, again too much coursework and too short time.
