Okay so I said I would do a run away AU. So without further ado, here it is! Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Hiccup and Astrid had just got back from their flight. Astrid was bursting at the seems. They after all had just found the nest, the very thing they have been searching for since they sailed to Berk.
"It makes since, it's like a giant beehive, they follow her. We need to tell your father." Astrid said.
"No! No Astrid we can't. They'll kill Toothless." Hiccup pleaded
"Wait so you are defending your pet?" Astrid asked
"Yes, I would do anything for him and he would do anything for me. He is my best friends, he is anything but a pet." Hiccup said.
"Okay, so what do we do?" she asked
"We can't stay here, I don't belong here and you know that. Everyone knows that. And besides I can't kill that dragon. I won't kill a dragon, not anymore." Hiccup said
"Wait you can't just leave, what about the nest? What about everything I just learned? Everything we know is wrong and you are just going to leave?" Astrid was starting to get mad.
"No one will listen to me anyways, so what's the point. I'm Hiccup the Useless, remember? If it means so much to you show them all how wrong they are." Hiccup said "Look the sun will be coming up soon and I need to leave before anyone wakes up, so please please don't tell anyone what you saw here and don't come looking for me. Declare me dead I don't care just leave me be." he said walking towards Toothless.
"Hiccup wait," Astrid called. Hiccup turned around only to be met with a kiss, after they parted she said in his ear "come back to me dragon boy, promise me you'll come back."
"I promise" Hiccup said back as he mounted Toothless and took off to the sky.
That was 10 years ago, everyone was grown up. Astrid was chosen to kill the nightmare however instead of killing the once perceived beast she trained him instead. Stoick was mad that Astrid had betrayed them as she did but she explained how they could defeat the queen and find the nest with the help of the dragons and Stoick was intrigued. She had lead them to the nest only to discover the queen was nowhere to be found, but what she did find was that the entire place was covered in flames. She, the other riders and the chief took a look around the island only to find the remains of a humongous dragon, and scorch marks. The one thing that struck Astrid however was a saddle on the ground near the dead dragon. Astrid knew instantly who the saddle belonged to and started to cry. She had to explain why she was upset to the riders and Stoick who was in a word heart broken. That day, ten years ago, Hiccup was declared dead.
"Erik, I need this to be sharpened." a villager said as he dropped off an ax to the blacksmith.
"No problem Kol, I'll get right on it." Erik said with a smile. The auburn haired man had bright green eyes and a prosthetic left foot he got battling a dragon ten years back. He wasn't from this village and he didn't mind that. The chief had took him in when he was gravely injured and raised him as his own, then he started his work at the forge and he has never been happier.
"How are the little ones?" Kol asked
"Oh well, the twins are in the 'no' stage, Anna is too young to do anything and Jaden is getting into as much trouble as I was at his age." Erik said with a smile as he was sharpening the ax
"How old are they now?" Kol asked
"Jaden is 5, Anna is almost 1 and the twins are 3." Erik said.
"How's the Mrs?"
"Brooklyn is doing great, she actually should be helping the kids down at the arena, I was going to head there after I was done here. Okay so you ax here is sharpened and ready to go." Erik said handing the ax back to Kol.
"Thanks Erik. See you at the meeting tonight right?" Kol asked
"You bet, I don't think the chief will let me miss it anyways." Erik said closing up the shop, Kol was walking away when Erik went to the back to see a dark black figure.
"Hey bud let's go down to the arena and say hi to everyone. What do you say?" he asked his best friend who came out of the shadows and started to jump up and down like a puppy who was going to get a treat. "Alright let's go"
They started walking to the arena when they saw a woman with red hair running up to then with a little girl in her arms. As she got closer you could see the woman had bright neon blue eyes and lots of freckles, the little girl was similar, except she had more of a darker shade of red hair, almost brown and bright green emerald eyes.
"Hey babe. What are you doing here?" the red haired woman asked Erik
"Thought I should hi to my family once and a while right? So how is my beautiful wife?" he asked Brooklyn, kissing her on the cheek.
"Not too bad, but Jaden oh you are going to have a talk with him. He…" before she got to finish Erik was tackled by three other kids. Two boys and a girl.
"Jaden, Chris and Lily oh how I have missed you guys!" he said picking up the three kids.
"I did nothing! It was those two, they did it!" Jaden said to his defense
"Nuh uh!" Lily screamed "No way!" Chris said backing up his twin
"Your son thought it would be funny to scream Roman attack in the middle of training in the woods." Brooklyn said.
"Jaden, you know we can't joke about that. It is bad enough that know where we are but to freak everyone out for no reason is irresponsible." Erik said
"I'm sorry dad, I'll stop." Jaden said looking down at his shoes.
"I know you will my little squirt. Come on we should get going to the Great Hall if we don't want to miss the town meeting. Apparently the chief wants us all there." Erik said
"I wonder what it's about?" Brooklyn asked bouncing babbling Anna on her hip.
"I think someone is coming here to renew a peace treaty. I have no idea who though." Erik said. "Come on guys, I bet we can beat Toothless." he whispered to Jaden Chris and Lily. They nodded at the idea and started to run to the Great Hall. Toothless looked startled at first, but understood what was happening and took off after the four.
