Astrid was being annoying today, as usual.
I guess she was frustrated with Hiccup being better with dragons than her. Or that it seemed that he cared more about dragons than her. I don't care, I have other things to worry about.
Apparently he has his 'new' friends and doesn't have time for me. I was the girl who was always there for him. The girl who wiped away his tears when he was sad. And the girl who was always his friend. Not just because he was suddenly successful.
Gobber even mentioned it which just set me off.
"I haven't been seeing you and Hiccup together recently. What happened between the two of you?"
"He's too busy spending time with his new friends to spend time with his best friend," I snapped before running away, leaving Gobber confused and worried.
I snatched my knives and ran to the forest area as fast as I could. I stayed there for a long time.
I went up to my secret, my Night Fury. Her name was Mist, and I kept her in hiding. Nobody could know that I liked dragons or that I had a Night Fury.
But of course everything good must come to an end. How did this happen? Someone found out my secret. And it was the worst person to.
Astrid was fighting Mist and was winning. I quickly threw a knife at her, grazing her hip and making Astrid fall back.
I ran back to my Night Fury.
"You ok Mist?" I frantically ask. She had a few cuts here and there, but over all she looked fine. She nodded at me, and I turned my attention back to Astrid.
Astrid stood up coming back to me. "
"What are you doing?! Step aside I'm almost done." She tried to walk toward Mist, but I came in front of her and held up another knife.
She furrowed her eyebrows. "You're defending that thing?!" She gestured to Mist with her axe, and Mist growled in response.
I snarled at her.
"You bet as hell I am. Now step back before I make you... in pieces."
Astrid's blue eyes stared at mine, hard as gems.
"You... are dead. Wait until Hiccup hears about this!" She said, running off. I grinned. Astrid didn't scare me, and neither does Hiccup.
I kicked a rock along the forest floor, thinking about the recent events.
Negatives:
Hiccup was ignoring me. (Nothing new)
My friends were ignoring me.
Astrid was glaring and spreading rumors about me.
Positives:
I'm friends with a NIGHT FURY!
That was just sad. The negatives outweighted the positives. What was keeping me here? Other than the food, water, and shelter there wasn't much that to live for. Of course I still loved Hiccup, but he was crushing on Astrid, so I don't have a chance. At least not any more.
I sighed. One more straw, and I would leave this paradise hell forever.
I heard something up ahead and ran to check it out.
I was on a ledge that overlooked a glade-type area. A little lake was below as well as some trees and rocks.
My breath got caught in my throat as I saw three figures down below. Two I knew, one I didn't.
Hiccup and Astrid were talking with a dragon off to the side. Astrid had her 'good' self on.
"What's your relationship with her, Hiccup?" Astrid asked innocently.
Hiccup seemed taken back by this question.
Astrid laughed. "She's an idiot, Hiccup. You deserve better..." Then she looked at him. "You don't like her do you?
"Oh god...," I breathed. She was testing Hiccup. I grabbed the grass in between my fingers and waited in anticipation for his answer.
Hiccup's eyes widened, and he waved his hands back and forth. "What?! No! She's not even my friend. She's just someone that I work with."
And that was the last straw.
Hey guys!
Rebel here! No, the girl is not Heather or Merida... I will reveal that in a other chapter or story.
I'm sorry, don't hate me. I just thought maybe Astrid could seem like the not innocent girl, and maybe something's happened before.
I hope you enjoyed!
Love,
Rebel
