Chapter 1. Nightmare

This my first Fanfic so please no rude reviews! I'm trying my best and will try to update as soon as I can. I got this idea a little while ago and decided to write about it. So… Here we go! :)


Third person POV

Hiccup's running through the forest, pitch black surrounding him. It's a choking quite. He turns around, nothing. He knows something is there.

"Hello?" He yells. "Who's there?!" Nothing answers. He's sweating from fear now. He turns around and finds himself in an open field, still pitch black. The only light is the full moon hanging above him. Suddenly a shadow falls across the moon. Hiccup looks up in fear. There's a figure staring straight into his soul with red sinister eyes. It smiles evilly, showing red stained fangs. Hiccup falls to the ground in fear. The figure comes forward and starts speaking.

"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. I have watched you your whole life, one day your pride and protection over others will get you killed."

Hiccup finds the voice to speak, though very shaky, "W-what do you w-want?"

The demon shadow looks at Hiccup, before his smile grew even wider, showing more than enough fangs dripping with… blood. His laugh is sinister. Then what he says is something Hiccup will never forget, "Your heart," and with that it reaches its hand toward Hiccup, long fingers curled. It grabbes Hiccup and puts his other hand inside him, grabbing his heart. Hiccup screamed as loud as he could.

That's all it took to wake him up.

He sits up in up in fear, he's sweating all over. He tries to pick himself up, but his arms are too weak. He looks at his hand, it's shaking. He puts his hands over his heart, taking a shuddering breath. It was just a dream, nothing to worry about. He manages to put his prosthetic and armor on, then walks out of the hut. It felt like he hadn't gotten any sleep whatsoever. Toothless must have gone out to get some breakfast. Everyone must already be at the clubhouse. He walked in and found everyone already sitting down having breakfast.

"Hey, Hiccup!" Yelled Fishlegs. "Whats up H?" Asked Tuff. "Hey sleepy, what took you so long?" asks Astrid. When Hiccup doesn't answer they all look at him and at the same time all ask, "Hiccup?"

"Hmm?" Mumbles Hiccup. "Sorry."

"Hey you ok?" Astrid questions him.

"Yea I'm fine," Answers Hiccup. He felt like he was up all night and the nightmare felt so real, he started to believe it really happened. Everything was just so realistic.

"Hiccup!" Yelled Fishlegs.

"Oh, what?" answered Hiccup.

"Hiccup, you sure you're ok? You keep zoning out on us," Fishlegs asked starting to sound a little worried. That's when Hiccup looked up at all them, his eyes were red and puffy, like he had been crying.

"Hey, H, have you been crying?" Asked Tuffnut.

"No, I just didn't get any sleep last night…" Hiccup said as he started to yawn.

"Yea that's what it looks like, get some better rest tonight," said Astrid.

"Anyways, here's some breakfast," said Snotlout, handing him a plate of salad greens with chopped fish. Hiccup looked at it and set his head on his hand. He then started poking and prodding his salad. Everyone looked at each other in concern. They then decided to push it off as nothing. Everyone just finished their breakfast while Hiccup hadn't even finished his.

"Alright, Hiccup, what are we doing today?" Asks Fishlegs. "Hiccup?" He asks again. He walks over to Hiccup and finds him sleeping on his hand still holding his fork. "Hey, guys… Hiccups asleep," Fishlegs told the rest of the gang.

"Looks like he really didn't get any sleep…" Astrid said still questioning Hiccup. What could have kept him up? He wasn't working on anything that she knew of and he hasn't been stressed. "Hey Toothless, did Hiccup sleep last night?"

Toothless just nodded, she took that as a yes.

"Alright guys today we get the day off!" Astrid yelled. "WOO HOO!" Everyone yelled.

"SHH!" Astrid scolded them.

Right before they all went to do whatever they wanted, Hiccup started squirming and talking. "Wait, everyone come here.." Astrid told them. They all walked over to Hiccup and started listening to what he was saying.

"What do you want? You can't take me… What?! No! NO! STOP STOP! GET AWAY! AHHHHHH!" Hiccup started screaming.

"Astrid, we have to wake him up!" Fishlegs yelled over the screaming Hiccup. They all grabbed Hiccup and started shaking him. "Hiccup wake up! Come on H! Hiccup if you don't wake up so help me!" They all started screaming over each other. Suddenly Hiccups eyes flew open and he raced to the edge of the club house and looked back at them. He was shaking uncontrollably. He then collapsed onto his knees and started sobbing into his hands. Everyone looked at Hiccup in shock, they had never seen Hiccup this vulnerable, let alone crying.

They all walked over to him and started asking him questions, "Hiccup, take deep breaths, in and out, in and out. There you go, " Fishlegs calmly told Hiccup. Hiccup slowly started to get his breathing under control, but he was still shuddering uncontrollably. The same thought was on everyone's mind... What could have done this to Hiccup?
