Redlight!

"You guys retreat back to the edge!"

"But you and Hiccup!?"

"We'll catch up later!"

"Astrid!"

"Hiccup, we need to run!"

"That cave!"

"Look out!"

"Toothless!"

"Stormfly!"

Running. Running. Running, that's the first thing that came back to her. Her eyes flickered open, although she couldn't tell, as the place was dark already. Where was she? And why was it so cold? She looked around, albeit useless, her eyes were slowly adjusting. Something moved near her.

"Who's t-there?" She stuttered, wrapping her arms around herself.

"A-Astrid? I'm so c-cold." At the voice, everything came flooding back. Beserkers. Running for safety with Hiccup. Getting blocked in a huge cave of nothing but ice. Then losing consciousness. She was surprised they actually woke up. Then again, she didn't know how or what knocked them out to begin with.

"I k-know. Me too." She replied. Astrid stretched her arms in the direction of his voice, and found his arm. It was ice cold. "Oh, Hiccup your colder then I a-am." She gasped.

"Y-yeah. Don't you remem-member?" He asked. She shook her head, even though he couldn't see it.

"I don't remember m-much from today."

"I was t-thrown off Toot-thless, and fell into the c-cold water during a be-berserker attack." It seemed every other word he stuttered, as if talking to his crush. "You help me to an ice covered isl-sland, and we hid in this ca-cave. Before the dr-dragons could come in, the cave entrance collapse. You were knocked o-out." She stared in shock at what seemed like nothing, but his hands in hers told the girl he was still there.

"How long h-has it been?" She dared to ask.

"Two h-hours Maybe lon-longer." She couldn't gasp, as the icy air would've probably burned if sucked in fast and abruptly. "As-Astrid. I'm ss-scared." She heard him sniff back what must have been tears. She wrapped her arms around him, hoping somehow it would warm them up.

"Toothless and Stormfly w-will get some h-help. I know they will." She assured him. Although, she remembered herself that the others might have retreated to dragons edge. And that was miles away. Her memory was slowly returning. The group was headed to another island shown on the dragon eye, hoping to find new dragons and another lens. Low and behold, the fleet of ships Dagur had collected must have been headed somewhere. Hiccup barely missed a net but that made them lose control and the dragon and rider fell into the ocean below. Astrid indeed, had ordered the others to retreat to dragons edge...

and that they'd meet up later.

Oh thor, she hoped Stormfly went for help. Toothless was harmed in the fall and should probably be resting just outside the cave from fatigue. They sat for what felt like an eternity till Hiccup broke the icy silence. Pun totally intended.

"What a w-way to die. You kn-know?" She stared into the blackness next to her.

"Why would you s-say that?" Astrid demanded.

"St-stormfly might not make it ba-back in t-time. You and I both know that." He finished. She tightened her hold on him.

"Listen to m-me young man." She began. Even though listening to a person with a stutter can be annoying, she couldn't help it.

"I'm a-all ears."

"This is n-no way for the h-heir of berk to die. Yo-you should die in an e-epic battle on Toothless. YEARS fr-from today. Remembered how you-ou'd want to be remembered." He sighed.

"Don't wanna die in a-an epic battle." Astrid rolled her eyes. Even freezing to death he was stubborn. Thinking that, she shook her head to get it out. But that only made things worse. "I'm just g-gonna lay down n-now." She felt him move from her grip.

"No! D-don't fall as-asleep on me!" She nearly begged. He ignored her, and she felt that he was in the fetal position. "Hi-Hiccup, please!" She tried to pull him back into a sitting position but he was so stubborn it made him feel like the weight of gobber. Then again, that may have been because he also felt like an ice brick. "Hiccup!" She shook him lightly, trying not to hurt him. No responce. That's when a miracle happened.

She heard voices.

more specifically Snotlouts.

Stormfly made it back!

Astrid forced herself onto all fours and made her way to where the voices originated from. She bumped into what must have been the blocked exit. With all her remaining strength, she started clawing out the snow. The blonde didn't bother wasting her voice, and continued to silently help her friends save them. After a little while, the voices grew more audible and she quickened her pace. She spanned her hands over the wall of snow. After a moment she felt a thinner spot and let out the breath she hadn't realized she was holding.

She then slammed the snow, and her hand broke through.

Light streamed in through the small hole and she dug the outside, with her arm now out up to her elbow.

"Astrid's helping! We can get through faster now!" She heard Fishlegs exclaim. They pulled the snow in chuncks around the hole Astrid made and soon a big enough opening was made. She was exhausted and her arms felt like jelly that had been put in a ice sack. Flimsy yet still ice cold. Snotlout helped her to her feet, but her knees buckled instantly, allowing her to fall onto him.

"I've got you Astrid. Fishlegs! Get Hiccup!" Snotlout had taken charge and for that, Astrid was grateful.

"Oh gods. We need to get him back to the edge fast. I can barely feel his pulse!"

"Astrid, you should get some rest. He'll be fine." Fishlegs insisted. Astrid shook her head.

"No. I'll stay here with him. I'm never leaving him." The bookworm sighed in defeat and left the hut. An hour had past since they flew back to dragons edge. Fishlegs had managed to get Hiccup stable but he had been unconscious since the cave. Toothless coed beside the bed, his head resting on his paws. He felt guilty for passing out right in front of the cave. But Astrid told him it was ok. Not that the dragon could understand the human language, he got the gist of it.

"Oh, Hiccup. Why do you always run into trouble?" Astrid asked, with a small smirk. She didn't expect an answer. Not that she wanted one. She looked back at all the times he's been in danger - The twins like to say he has 'shook hands with death' on many occasions - and thought about how these events have shaped him. The red death, Alvin and Dagur, Toothless. These things all had a hand in making him the brave, undeafeated viking he is today. Astrid looked at Toothless, who was distracted by his rider. Toothless had the biggest hand in it all. If Hiccup hadn't shot him down, who know's where Hiccup would be right now. Who knows where SHE would be right now if Hiccup hadn't convinced her that dragons were different. For all she knew, Hiccup could be dead right now. Either, killed by a dragon or torn down by his own village. Driven to suicide. She's heard of many kids who commited suicide because their town treated them like cattle.

consider the most unviking way to go.

Even after killing themselves, the mistreated viking was still looked down upon. Still got a disgusted look, a look of disappointment because they weren't strong enough.

What was she thinking about? Why think about this all now? Hiccup will never commit suicide, because he was now treated equal. She was so distracted she missed him open his eyes.

"Hey." She snapped out of it.

"Hiccup!" She smiled widly. "You're awake!" He nodded.

"Yeah, but are you?" She snorted.

"Oh har har. Just thinking." He gave her a look.

"What about?" She regarded telling him or not.

"Nothing, just stuff." Hiccup said nothing. "I'm glad your okay." She said smiling. Toothless finally saw him awake and jumped up with a giddy look.

"Hey bud!" Hiccup laughed as the night fury started licking him. Astrid joined in the laughter. "Stop, you know that doesn't wash out!" Hiccup commented. pushing the dragon away. Toothless backed off but was still practically bouncing with excitment. "Yeah, I'm glad I'm okay too." Hiccup answered her, now that he was able to. She hugged him.

"Let's not nearly freeze to death again, okay? I hate feeling like a block of ice."

"Don't we always feel that way? I mean, we do still live on berk technically." She let go and looked at him with a glare.

"I'm serious."

"Okay. Yes. Let's not do that again." He pulled her back into a hug and they were sitting like that for some time. Finally, Astrid broke off.

"Now that you're awake, I should get some sleep." She suggested.

"Yes, please. Get rest." Hiccup agreed. Astrid hesitated before kissing his forehead.

"G'night." She smiled and started walking out. Toothless looked at Hiccup, who was watching her leave and seemed to be in a daze. He nudged the boy.

"Sorry, Toothless. Was just...thinking." The night fury gave him a look, then curled up around him. The two slowly drifting off into sleep.
