Summery: You know that part in the movie where Hiccup bumps into Astrid in the cove? And she after seeing Toothless she goes to tell everyone? Well what would happen if Hiccup and Toothless didn't pick her up off the ground and stop her from going to tell? This, is that story.
I don't own HTTYD... Same old, same old.
It was a rather hot day on the little isle of Berk, And Hiccup had just stopped a Gronckle with some dragon nip, which was supposed to be Astrid's dragon. After the elder decided that Hiccup will kill the Monstrous Nightmare in the final session of training, he knew he couldn't, and was on his way with his bags to the cove to leave with Toothless... for good.
"We're leaving. Lets pack up. Looks like me and you are taking a little vacation... forever." Toothless is nowhere in sight, so Hiccup sets down his bag to check everything is here, while his head is clouded with troubles.
Realizing Astrid is sitting on a rock in front of him, he gasps. "Arh! What the crap- what are you doing here?"
"I wanna know what's going on." She says threatening him with her newly-sharpened axe. "No one just gets as good as you do. Especially, you. Start talkin. Are you training with someone?"
"Uh, training? I didn't-"
"It better not involve 'this'" She said grabbing Hiccup's flying harness. "Uh oh, she's catching on, this isn't looking good." Thought Hiccup.
"I know this looks, really, bad, but you see... this is uh-"
A rustle comes from the other side of the cove, and Astrid pushes Hiccup down and walks slowly over to where the sound is coming from.
"You're right, you're right, I-I'm through with the lies. I've been making... Outfits! So you got me, it's time everyone knew. Drag me back, go ahead, here we go-" She grabs his wrist and twists it back to where he falls on the ground.
"Owww! Why would you do that!" Hiccup said grabbing his wrist in pain. It felt as if the bone was now out of place.
"That's for the lies." She said. "And that's-" Taking the butt of her axe and bouncing it off Hiccup's stomach. "For everything else."
Hiccup's yelp of pain was answered by a growl, which then Astrid pushes Hiccup down to protect him from the now seeable Night Fury charging at Astrid to protect Hiccup.
"Get down!" She yelled going after the dragon with an axe.
"No!" Hiccup yelled grabbing the axe out of her hand and throwing it aside. "He won't hurt you! You just scared him."
"I scared him? Who, is him?" Astrid asked dumbfounded.
"Astrid, Toothless. Toothless, Astrid." Toothless growled at Astrid, sensing she wasn't nice. Astrid shook her head in amazment, then took off running for the exit to the cove. "Duh duh duh, we're dead." Hiccup said. Now what? Hiccup thought. If she tells my dad I don't know what I'll do.
Suddenly Toothless ran to Hiccup' side and nudged him as if saying 'c'mom, we have to catch her'. "Alright bud." Hiccup hoped onto Toothless back and flew out of the cove. They were flying directly above the path from the cove to the village, and could see Astrid running. "We have to catch her bud!" Hiccup exclaimed over the roaring winds.
They were now right above Astrid, and lowering closer to her. They swooped in to grab her but she dodged out of the way. Now they were in the village, and if anyone saw Toothless they would try to shoot him down. They had to turn back. Hiccup and Toothless landed in a clearing away from the village to keep from being spotted. After landing Hiccup instructed Toothless to stay there while he goes into town and tries to stop Astrid.
He ran into town and spotted Astrid going into the cheif's house... His dad's house. He ran in after her but it was too late, by the time he got in the house his dad was staring at him with a look he's never seen before. A look so angry, so mad, so indescribably upset that Hiccup felt two inches tall. "Dad I can-"
"Son... what you have done goes against all our laws. I'm sorry but... I'm going to have to exile you." The look on his face wasn't mad anymore, it was sad. Sad because he had to exile his own son, his only son. "Dad I-"
"I'm sorry son... But I cannot disobey our tribe's laws."
"But I'm your son... how could you do this to me...?" Hiccup said with tears streaming down his cheeks. He was lost for words, his own father, betrayed him.
Hiccup looked to Astrid who didn't seem to have regretted telling his father. She seemed happy if what not. Happy he was leaving. Hiccup had always thought she liked him the way he liked her, but the truth was now being revealed. She didn't.
"You have to leave before sunset. You might as well pack your bags now and be on your way." Said his father not shedding a tear. "Dragons... You've thrown your lot in with them. Escort him out Spitelout."
Spitelout then walked over to Hiccup and walked him out the door, leaving a devastated father, and a tattle-tale brat behind him...
~Page Break~
Hiccup's POV
I was now flying high above the Atlantic ocean, getting farther and farther away from Berk, my so-called home. The so-called home that kicked me out. After flying for three hours I could finally see land. All I had with me was some extra stuff for Toothless's tail and saddle, a change of clothes, a blanket, and my satchel which was carrying all that stuff.
We landed on a small island near a lake and I took off Toothless's saddle and went to look for firewood. After I got back to where we landed Toothless had caught some fish for us to eat, so I set up the firewood and Toothless set it aflame, which I then cooked some of the fish on.
Later that night I awoke with tears running down my cheeks, thinking of my dad... used-to-be dad, and how he used to love me. I laid awake for almost the whole night thinking if I would ever return to my true home.
Toothles awakened me with one of his slobbery licks and then looked at me weirdly. "What's the matter bud?" I asked unknowingly. He wiggled his nose a few times and cringed, then picked me up by my collar to stand me up, and pushed me towards the lake we found yesterday. "Okay okay, I get it, I stink. I'll be back." When I arrived at the lake I took off my clothes and laid in the freezing cold water.
I hadn't taken a bath in a few days so getting clean felt pretty nice, besides the fact that the water felt like ice water. I got out and wrapped myself in the blanket I brought along with me, and walked back to the camp with my dirty clothes in hand. By the time I got to the camp I had absolutely no energy, so I didn't even bother putting on the clean set of clothes. Instead I just laid next to the fire wrapped in the blanket, with Toothless keeping me warm.
Please R&R! I'll try to update every Saturday.
