CHAPTER 1: A REVELATION
A normal day on the island of Berk, dragons flying, kids playing, adults working and the teenagers at the academy. Everything was fine… Except for something, Astrid wasn't at the academy. Hiccup wondered where was her, she never missed a class. Hiccup was worried, so he went to the Hofferson's house to ask for help.
"Hi Hiccup" Astrid's mother opened the door smiling "Please, come in". "Hi Mrs. Hofferson" Hiccup said "How are you?"
"I'm fine, but you looked worried"
"Yes, yes I am, have you seen Astrid?"
"Yes, I saw her leaving this morning"
"Did she say something about where was she going?"
"No, but she told me to give this to you"
Mrs. Hofferson gave Hiccup a letter. The letter said "Hiccup, if you are reading this, meet me at the cove at midday. Love, Astrid". Hiccup knew he had to go there, it could be something important, and if it said "Love", it was something very important. It was 11:50, so, he had to go there… And fast!
Astrid was sitting on a stone, holding her axe. Hiccup was frightened when he saw the axe. But he decided to go there. "Hi Hiccup" Astrid said smiling at him. "H… Hi Astrid" Hiccup was nervous.
"I see that my mother gave you the letter I left for you"
"Yeah… Yeah"
"Are you wondering why I called you here?"
"Yes"
"To ask you something, something very important"
Hiccup was totally paralyzed. What could be so important? But, when he saw tears in her eyes, he noticed it was something really important. "Hiccup… Do you really love me?" those words were the question. Hiccup didn't know what to say, he didn't want to tell her that he had a huge crush on her, but he knew this was the right moment.
