Taking a quick break from Frozen Heart and began writing this. This is my version of how Hiccup's mom, Valhallarama, died . Enjoy:)
It was a beautiful sunset on the isle of Berk where a certain Haddock family were at a hill in the forest, having another fun time.
Five year old Hiccup was playing tag with his father Stoick the Vast and his mother Valhallarama, and he was trying not to be it. He ran in circles to confuse his parents while giggling a lot.
"Almost got you Hiccup," Stoick panted but missed Hiccup by an inch while Hiccup continued to run cheering," You can't catch me!"
"Your father can't, but that doesn't mean I can't," Valhallarama giggled and she then scooped Hiccup from the ground from behind him as he yelled," No fair mommy, you got me distracted!"
"Are you ready to fly Hiccup?" Valhallarama questioned, trying to change the subject and Hiccup cheerfully cried," YES!" "Okay, .THREE!" Within seconds, his mother threw him up in the air as Hiccup laughed along with Stoick who then helped his wife give Hiccup an extra boost.
Hiccup flew up and down laughing to his hearts content until he looked at the ocean horizon and then gasped in fear. Once he landed on his parents arms, he whimpered," Mommy, daddy. T-there's outcasts ships coming..."
Both parents looked at the horizon and saw that their son was right, they then quickly ran back to village with Hiccup in Val's arm,warning the villagers to take their children to the Great Hall for protection and preparing themselves.
"Stoick, I'll stay in the house with Hiccup, don't worry, we'll be fine," Val suggested and Stoick, knowing it's impossible to convince her otherwise, nodded in agreement," Okay, but anything happens, you both go to the Great Hall."
Soon, Hiccup found himself in his parents room, in his mother's arm, as he stood in fear. Then he heard the voice of Alvin the Treacherous shout,"
"ATTACK BERK, BE SURE TO FIND STOICK'S SON AND THEN...KILL 'EM"
Hiccup gasped in fear as he moved closer to his mother as she soothed him," It's okay, I promise nothing is going to happen to you."
Then he heard battle cries, shouts of outcasts, his father yelling commands, and then Gobber yelling for reinforcements.
He felt his mother pull away from him, handing him to the Hofferson mother as she was grabbing her armor and weapons and then he whimpered," Mommy, where...Where are you going?"
"I need to help fight off the outcasts sweetheart. Hiccup stay inside the Great Hall until I tell you it's okay to get out." As his mother explained, he nodded, he always trusted his mother, then she headed out.
"Tell me where your boy is you two, and I'll leave Berk in peace!" Alvin shouted as he and his men surrounded Stoick and Valhallarama, with armed weapons.
"We won't let you kill our son Alvin," Val and Stoick both snapped and then fought off all the outcasts that surrounded them until they heard Alvin yell," BURN EVERYTHING DOWN, IF THE BOY IS IN ANY OF THOSE BUILDINGS, THEN HE'LL BURN TO THE GROUND!"
"NOOO!" "HICCUP!"
Without another word, the outcasts shot arrows and boulders with flames on them, setting the village on fire, then, they hit the Great Hall...
"FIRE!" "Get everyone out of here and go to the beach!" Spitelout shouted as he grabbed his son and directed everyone out.
Five year olds were screaming in fear as they ran to their parents for safety, Hiccup was the one who was more terrified since the flames were way too close to him until his uncle pulled him outside.
"Hurry to the beach, move it. BUCKET, MULCH. TAKE THE CHILDREN AND ELDER TO THE BEACH, THE REST OF US WILL HELP STOICK AND EVERYONE ELSE!" Spitelout shouted and said people did what they were told and led all the children out, all except one.
Hiccup was going to follow Muich and Bucket behind the group until a large strong hand grabbed ahold of his arm as he screamed but the group was already out of site.
"I got the boy!' Alvin, I got the boy !" Savage shoited as he cruelly hauled terrified Hiccup into the burning village while the poor boy screamed," MOMMY!" "DADDY!"
Before long, he saw his mother come running to him, then throwing a bola around Savage's legs, causing him to fall and let go of Hiccup until other outcasts began to come to aid Savage.
"HICCUP, RUN QUICKLY TO THE WOODS. RUN!" His mother shouted,Hiccup got up and quickly ran and was about to look back until she yelled," DON'T LOOK BACK HICCUP, KEEP RUNNING!"
He ran and ran deeper into the woods as he felt the wind blow behind his neck as he continued to run in fear. Then he heard a faint yell from Alvin stating,"
"BURN THE FOREST DOWN AND FOLLOW ME!"
The last thing he saw was flaming arrows fly up in the air, then landed on either the ground or trees, causing a forest fire. Hiccup ran even farther from the fire until he bumped into a boulder and fell into the cove, unconscious.
His eyes began to open slowly as his vision blurred for a bit until what he saw made his eyes pop wide open.
Fire. There were flames on near the cove and starting to enter it until Hiccup heard outcasts entering as they shouted," There he is!" "Kill 'em!"
Hiccup quickly got up and began to run out of the cove while the outcasts shoot non flame arrows and throws any weapon at him as they ran after him. He ran deeper and farther but all he could see was the forest in flames, red and orange flames dancing on the trees and ground.
Before he could run faster, an arrow got on his sleeve, causing him to be stuck on a tree that was already in flames. He struggled to pull free but the arrow was stuck tight on his sleeve. After a few more pulls, he heard the outcasts getting closer, knowing it'll soon be his end until he saw another figure approaching him from a different direction.
Convince that the figure was Alvin, Hiccup continued to pull his sleeve off as tears began to fall from his cheeks until he felt a hand on his shoulder and the voice of his mother,
"Hiccup, thank Thor I found you, don't worry mommy's here," Val then removed the arrow and then carried Hiccup as she ran ahead, seeing the outcasts spot her.
"AFTER HER!"
"DON'T 'EM ESCAPE!"
Hiccup hugged his mother tightly as he heard the outcasts shout and saw that they were out of the forest fire until Val stopped, only to see that they were on a cliff, and another hill at the other side but too dangerous to jump while carrying someone.
Then Hiccup heard thunder boom and roar as he saw lightning flash before his eyes multiple times, scaring him. He then heard the outcasts get closer until he felt his mother make him look at her in the eyes.
"Hiccup, remember that no matter what...I'll always love you and your father. Be strong, be brave, and never give up my son. I love you."
"Love you too mommy."
With that, Val planted one last kiss on Hiccup head, then with all her might, she tossed Hiccup across to the other hill, as he cried," MOMMY, NO!" He landed safely on the hill but he began to roll down until he bumped himself against a boulder again, then everything went black.
The last thing he heard was Alvin shout," Kill her!"
Then Hiccup woke up, only to see that he was at his rebuilt home, with a bandage on his head, and on his bed. The first thing he remembered from last night was," Mommy!?"
He hopped out of bed and ran down the stairs, only to meet up with Gobber and his father, who embraced him tightly saying," My boy, your okay."
Hiccup noticed that from the look of his father's exhausted eyes, he hadn't slept for hours. "Daddy, where's mommy?" "Where is she?" Hiccup whimpered.
His father's eyes then began to water as he stood up and sadly answered in great sorrow," Hiccup... Alvin killed your mother.."
Hiccup stared at his father in shock as he began to cry," No, its...its not true, mommy can't, she just can't!"
"Hiccup lad, follow us and you'll then see we are speaking the truth," Gobber advised as they all went outside to a casket, with villagers surrounding it. Hiccup steeped closer to the casket, as villagers stared at him in sorrow until he saw her.
His mother was on the casket, looking like she was sleeping in peace but he saw a bandage wrapped around her chest, where her heart was. He stood there in silence and shock until he finally got tears pouring down as he cried," N-nooo, mommy please wake up! Mommy...I-I'm so sorry, I-I didn't mean to...It's all my fault!"
He continued to cry as he then turned around and ran off, ignoring those who shouted behind him. He went home, and into his room where he laid on his bed and cried. After a few minutes he heard his father come up, sat on his bed, and pulled him close to a hug.
Hiccup continued to cry onto his father's tunic as he whimpered,"It-it's all my fault daddy. If-if I didn't fall into the cove unconscious...And...and get chased by the outcasts ...Mommy would still be here...It's all my fault."
Stoick then hugged his son tighter but not so hard as he soothed," No Hiccup, it isn't your fault, you're only a kid. Your mother would probably tell you that it is 't your fault if she was here right now."
Stoick let his son cry until they both went to Val's funeral. On her casket, Hiccup placed his lucky necklace on her before they buried her.
All night all the Haddocks could do was cry and mourn over the loss of a member of what was once a happy family.
Sorry if it's sad but hoped you enjoyed it. :)
