Okay guys so this is not a one shot. It may turn into a small story, or a two shot. I really don't know, it depends how long I feel like maiking the second half of this story. You could honestly read this as it's own one shot, but the only reason I really wrote this one was so that ya'll would have some backstory for the second part of this story. Anyway I really hope you guys will enjoy this!
And without further ado, let's get into the story!
Astrid, sat in her bed shivering. It had been a few hours since the flightmare encounter. She didn't know why but she felt cold. Like, REALLY cold. She was shivering, and felt like someone had taken a bucket of the coldest snow on Berk, and poured it all over her. Inside and outside.
She was so, so cold. Her teeth were chattering, her lips almost looked blue. And she couldn't think strait. She did manage to process the growling sound though coming from her window. "S-S-Sto-orm-F-F-Fly-y-y..." She manged to groan, through chattering teeth.
The Dragon Growled again. The Dragon normally slept outside her window, on the ground and her sensitive hearing picked up the sound of Astrid's groans. She cooed, wondering what was wrong with her human. Then an idea popped in the dragon's head.
She squawked, letting her rider know she would be right back. She headed over to The Human Alpha's hut.
She went to the window of Toothless' human. If anybody knew what to do, it would be him. she growled, to wake him up. He didn't wake, but Toothless did. He cooed in confusion and concern, and went over to the window.
"What's wrong Stormfly?" Toothless growled, seeing the dragon's clear concern.
"Something's wrong with Astrid. I think she might be ill! Can you wake your human? He can help."
"That's not good. I'll wake up Hiccup. You go back to Astrid. I'll bring Hiccup."
"Thanks you Toothless." Then Stormfly took off going to be with her rider.
Toothless growled nudging Hiccup. Well, to a dragon it may of seemed like a nudge, but it was certainly not a nudge to Hiccup. He got pushed completely off the bed, hitting his head on his desk in the process.
"Ow!" Hiccup groaned rubbing his head. "Toothless? What'd you do that for Bud? *yawn* It's not even morning yet. "Go back to bed."
He started to get back in bed, but Toothless was having none of it. He growled, grabbing the edge of Hiccup's tunic.
"What is it Bud?" He asked confused.
Toothless started dragging him towards the window."You want to go on a flight?"
Toothless growled again, this time grabbing Hiccup and tossing him onto his back, and before Hiccup had time to react, he took off out the window, forcing Hiccup to open the tailfin. "Where are you taking us Toothless?!" Hiccup gasped, being shocked awake from the cold wind as the flew. Toothless landed outside Astrid's hut. Gesturing to the window.
Hiccup's eyebrow's furrowed in concern, seeing Stormfly cooing worriedly at the window.
Quickly, he went to the Hofferson's front door, not bothering to be quiet. Astrid's parents weren't home. They were still at some of their friend's houses talking about how they're name had been cleared.
Hiccup ran up to Astrid's door, pausing for a moment, wondering what to do. He finally decided to knock. He tauntivly, knocked on the door.
"A-Astrid? You there?" He cracked the door open a bit.
"Astrid!" He saw her groaning, shivering, looking pale. "Astrid! Are you ok?!" He ran over sliding to his knees next to the bed? "Astrid?" She didn't answer, just moaning. He, slowly grabbed her hand. "Astrid, you're freezing."
"H-H-Hiccup? Is-s-s T-T-That-t-t-t y-y-you-u-u?" She, manged to say, "Yes, I'm it's me Astrid. Are you ok?"
"I-I-I F-F-Feel C-C-Cold-d-d..." she mumbled, she managed to open her eyes slightly. Showing how glazed over they were. The rest of her body looked glazed over too. "Kinda like how she looked when she was paralized by the Flightmare...Wait...Wasn't she shivering then too? It must be an after effect from the Flightmare's Spray! But how do I fix it...wait...Didn't Bork's Papers say something about the after effect of being frozen in fear by the flightmare? Something about it's...fear not leaving you alone? What was it?" Hiccup thought to himself.
"Asrid, I tihnk I might know what's wrong with you. I think It's cause you were paralyzed by the flightmare. Bork's papers mentioned something of an after effect of being frozen. I'm gonna go get his notes and see if I can find it."
"O-O-Ok-k-kay-y-y. J-Just-t-t-t h-h-hurry-y." She shivered, her eyes closing, as she brought her knees up to her chest, as if trying to contain whatever heat was left in her body.
"Come one Bud." Hiccup said, jumping out Astrid's window, landing on Toothless, who was waiting on the ground below. "We gotta go back to my hut."
Toothless growled, taking off quickly. Once they landed, Hiccup got off Toothless in his bedroom and went over to his chest. He started searching for Bork's notes. "Come on, where are they..." He muttered. "Found them!" He quickly pulled out the notes, finding the ones on the flightmare. He skimmed over them until he found what he was looking for. "Got it."
"The Flightmare's mist paralyzes it's victims with fear, the victim will eventually become unfrozen, but the lingering fear will chill them, and make the fall extremely ill. Victims to the this will die within 3 moons, if not given the following cure:"
"Glowing Algae mixed with yak broth and heated up by the hottest dragon fire. A Deadly Nadder's Magnesium. Once this has cooled down, have the victim drink it and it should cure them within 1 moon."
"Toothless...We have to get this bud. Otherwise, Astrid might d-"
Meatlug suddenly came to Hiccup's window roaring. "Oh, no. Fishleg's got sprayed by the flightmare too!"
Hiccup and Toothless went with Meatlug, and they found Fishlegs in the same condition as Astrid.
"This is bad...Come on Bud. Let's go tell my dad, and then we have to set out and find this cure."
Hiccup and Toothless woke Stoick, and quickly told him what was going on.
Stoick, would tell Astrid, and Fishleg's parents what was going on, and they would get the yak broth ready, and have Stormfly standing by for when Hiccup and Toothless returned with the algae.
Soon after, Hiccup and Toothless flew to the same Algae stream where they had fought the flightmare mere hours ago.
Hiccup, quickly scooped up a bag full of algae, and mounted Toothless, quickly flying towards the village.
"Here Dad. Do you have the broth ready?" Hiccup asked urgently.
"Aye, It's right here." Hiccup, poured the contents of the bag, into the broth, and they had Stormfly heat it up. Noe came the hard part. Waiting for it to cool down. It took nearly an hour, but the cure finally cooled, to a temperature that was safe to drink.
"Here, Astrid. Drink this. It'll make you feel better." Hiccup, carefully helped Astrid drink the cure, while Fishleg's parents to the cure to their son.
"Thanks Hiccup." Astrid muttered before falling asleep."
Everyone went to bed that night, assured that the two teens would be fine, since they got the sure in them before the first moon had even pasted.
Everyone except Hiccup. Even though he knew Astrid had got the cure in plenty of time, he still insisted on staying, just to make sure she was alright.
And that's how Astrid found him in the morning when she woke up.
The first thing she noticed was that she was no longer cold, and that she felt a little sick, but way better then yesterday.
After that, she noticed the auburn haired boy asleep, on a stool next to her bed.
"Hiccup?" She asked confused. her voice was still a little scratchy, and she coughed afterwards.
Hiccup jerked awake, green eyes seeming relieved. "What Happened? Am I sick *cough*?"
"Astrid, you're alright!"
"Of course I am. But why are you in my bedroom? And you never answered my first question."
"Oh, um sorry...Uh, but to answer both your questions, when you were paralyzed by the flightmare last night a side affect from the mist is an illness called flgihtmare freeze. Andd you got sick, and cold. We had to make the cure to give to you and Fishlegs, since you both got frozen by it's mist. Bork's papers mentioned how to make the cure. The notes said the victim of the flightmare freeze may exhibit cold like symptoms for a few days, but should be fine after that."
"You still didn't answer my other question, why are you in my bedroom?"
"Oh, uh, I was just making sure, uh you'd be alright and...um stuff..." Hiccup mumbled blushing.
Astrid grinned shaking her head. He was so cute when he was embarrassed. "Well, thanks for staying Hiccup. I...appreciate it." Astrid told him smiling.
He offered a dorky, sideways grin in return.
In the end Astrid and Fishlegs were both bedridden for a few day because of the lasting cold symptoms, (they probably would've been fine to go out, but there parents were having none of that) But in the end they came out fine. And I suppose this is were the story shouldl end. The Flightmare has been steered away from Berk. Astrid and Fishlegs were cured before the sickness got too everything is great.
Except...I seem to recall somebody else getting paralyzed by the flightmare in a certain game of Maces and Talons...What will happen three years later when Hiccup comes down with symptoms of the flightmare freeze...the only problem his, he's to stubborn to tell anyone. Can the gang save him before it's too late?
Okay, Okay, I know. Cheesy ending. I'll try to work on something else for the ending, but if not, uh, I guess it'll stay liek that anyway, stay tuned for the next part of this story, which will be even more fun because, Yeah! Hiccup!Whump I got this Idea when I was Rewatching "Maces and Talons Part 1 & 2" And remembered from flight of passage they were shivering and cold when they got unfrozen. And Then I got this whole idea.
I promise the next part will be way better because I'm a lot better at torturing Hiccup then Astrid.
Anyway feel free to Review or PM me!
Love ya'll to the moon and back! Bye!
