Hello everyone, this is my second chapter, I hope you will enjoy this chapter, I thought what I should do for this chapter. Please comment one anything, suggestions, and if I should redo this chapter.
Astrid POV
The next morning in the Berk, the villagers are getting ready for the final exam in dragon training as chief's son is going to kill the monstrous nightmare, so he could become a Viking everyone would like.
Astrid wakes up from the dream she just had about the romantic flight she had last night with Hiccup and how it felt to ride a dragon.
As Astrid gets up, she puts on her Viking outfit, grabs her axe, and does her hair.
She goes to dinner table and waits for her mother to make breakfast before she goes out to the arena to watch match which Hiccup is going to do.
Astrid's mother talks to Astrid about the final exam "Todays the final exam in dragon training Astrid, I hope you are going to watch the match."
Astrid starts to eat breakfast, and thinks about what Hiccup is going to do in the arena and what will happen if he shows the truth.
After finished eating, she thanks her mother for breakfast "Thank you mother for breakfast, I should go see what others are doing before the match"
Astrid starts to walk to the door and before she goes, she tells her mother where she is going "mother I am going to meet the others. So I will see you at the arena". As Astrid told her mother, she leaves to meet her friends.
After Astrid left her house, she thought where the others could be at this hour, after few minutes of thinking she went towards the great hall.
Astrid enters the great hall and sees Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Snoutlout, and Fishlegs sitting and talking about how Hiccup was doing so well in the dragon training.
As Astrid gets closer to her friends, she hears Snoutlout starts to talk about Hiccups well doing in training and how he is so knowledgeable about dragons.
"What do you think about Hiccups abilities to not hurt dragons but he still defeats them." Snoutlout eats his food after saying.
"Well Hiccup couldn't do anything against dragons few weeks ago and he was afraid of them, but now he got better all of sudden and he is not afraid of them anymore." Tuffnut agrees with Snoutlout.
"Yeah, you are right about how Hiccup got better all of sudden in such short weeks. I really wonder what made him so good in dragon training". Ruffnut saying as she eats her food and drinks, she agrees with others.
Fishlegs just sits there listening to Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Snoutlout as they talk about Hiccups change in dragon training. He thinks about hiccup having knowledge about dragons and how he defeated them without hurting them at all.
Astrid started to approach her friends and she says to them" Hi guys, are you talking about how Hiccup improved in the dragon training over the few weeks, but everyone else just question how in the Odin's name did he get so good." And she sits down where her friends sit.
As soon Astrid finished saying to her friends, everybody turns their heads to her and all of them say at same time at Astrid. "Yes" everyone said.
As they said yes to Astrid, she began to think about the Hiccup as they still continued. She thought about the last night that Hiccup showed the last night that Hiccup showed her truth about dragons and what she saw in the nest.
She was the only one who knows the truth about dragons. Astrid thinks what will happen if Hiccup decided to show the truth about the dragons. She is thinking that even after showing the truth the chief will have hard time accepting the truth, and he will start yelling at Hiccup without hearing him out first and he never tried to listen to his son because he is a stubborn Viking ever. And even after yelling from chief, the Stoick will decide to exile his son from the village. And if he finds out that Hiccup has been to the nest, he will want to question Hiccup how did he find the nest, and that will result in Stoick sending the whole village to nest and get themselves killed in the process of fighting that giant dragon.
As she continue to think about Hiccup, Snoutlout calls to her to get her attention "Astrid, hello Astrid, Earth to Astrid, can you hear me?"
Astrid hears Snoutlout calling her and she snapped back to present and said "Sorry, I was thinking about how Hiccup got better."
Then Snoutlout turn back to others as he finishes eating his food and drink. He is preparing to go see the match that is going to happen in about few hours and tells to his friends "Well, we are never going to find out how Hiccup got better at dragon training, so let's focus on the match that my cousin is going to have in about few hours. I will see you guys there" And with that Snoutlout leaves the great hall, leaving Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Fishlegs, and Astrid.
After Snoutlout left, so the Ruffnut and Tuffnut are getting to leave also, Ruffnut said after the twins get from their seat "Well Snoutlout is right, we should looking at how Hiccup has improved and bested all of us at dragon training, what secrets he is hiding, we should just focus on present and stop looking back at the past". Ruffnut looks at her brother and they both smile and leave the great hall. After the twins leave, they start to argue to each other outside the great hall every time they go together.
Fishlegs looks at others as they start to leave, after Snoutlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut has left Astrid and Fishlegs alone in the great hall. Fishlegs sings and asks Astrid if she talk to Hiccup about what he was hiding and how he got so good. "Hey Astrid"
Astrid hears Fishlegs calling her and she replies with "Fishlegs do you want to ask me something?"
Fishlegs asks Astrid" Astrid do you know how Hiccup got so good at dragon training in such a few weeks when he always failed at every else? Did you went after him and asked him questions about what was he hiding and not telling us? Was he trying to protect something from the Vikings?"
Astrid looks at Fishlegs and tells him" No, I did not find out how Hiccup got so good in the dragon training, I was afraid I would hurt him and thought that Hiccup will tell us within good time. Now that he has good friends as us, he won't keep secrets for too long; he is bound to tell us someday. And for your two last questions I will say I wasn't able to trail Hiccup, he always disappears every time I try to follow him. And I don't think he is trying to protect something from us, if he tried to protect dragon that would be against our tradition."
After Astrid lied to her best friend, she knew that if she told Fishlegs then he would tell the others, and then Snoutlout would tell villagers and Stoick about what Hiccup has done. She felt guilty, but she knew that she did the right thing about not answering his questions correctly.
After talk, Fishlegs says "Thanks for trying to find out, if you find out something please tell me, I will never sell out my friend. See ya later at the arena Astrid". And with that he left the hall.
Fishlegs has left the hall, Astrid began to think about the feelings she had for Hiccup. She feels love for Hiccup, but is also worried that is something is horrible is going to happen to Hiccup. She would not bear to lose Hiccup; she tried to accept her feelings.
As she accepted the feeling for Hiccup, she also felt need to leave and prepare to see the match that Hiccup is going to have today.
Stoick POV
In the Haddocks house Stoick the Vast is getting prepared to see his own son in the final exam in dragon training and he is going to be proud father. He is going to praise his son for killing his first dragons and that he is going to become a Viking.
After Stoick heads out of his house, he wants to talk to his son before the match so he decided that he would go to forge and see if his son there.
As Stoick approaches forge, he sees that there is only Gobber working in the forge and that Hiccup is not inside.
Stoick is going to ask Gobber if he has seen Hiccup "Hey Gobber, have you seen Hiccup I need to talk to him before his final exam in the dragon training."
Gobber stops working and looks over to Stoick, comes close to him and says" No, Stoick I haven't seen Hiccup anywhere, I hope he isn't going to be late for the match."
Stoick is surprised that no one has seen Hiccup, and after the talk Stoick decided that he should go and rest until the match is going to begin.
After few hours, Stoick begins to worry that Hiccup hasn't yet returned back to village, so he decided to send the search party to find Hiccup before few minutes the match begins.
As Stoick sends party to find Hiccup, he is worrying that his son has got into the trouble like he always has, or he could got himself killed. Stoick tries to suppress those emotions that tell him something bad happened to Hiccup.
After few minutes the party comes back to villages with shocking news about Hiccup, as they come running to chief's house to tell him the results.
As the search party enters house, Gobber yells "STOICK". Breathes heavily after running.
Stoick is surprised that Gobber from search party yelled out his name as entered his house. He knew something bad happened to Hiccup.
Stoick asks Gobber what is going on and what happened to Hiccup "Gobber is everything alright, did something bad happen to my son." Stoick is nervous and tried to remain calm.
Gobber looks at Stoick with sad expression and tells him the bad news that Stoick won't like "Well Stoick you might want to sit down for this. This will be bad for you as it is bad for me" And with that they both sit down in the chairs by the fireplace.
Gobber breathes in one more time and tells him the bad news "Stoick we found something in the cove that you won't like."
Stoick looks at his friends and waits for Gobber to tell him news and asks him how bad could the news be that he couldn't like "What is it Gobber, please tell me".
Gobber looks at his friend one more time and looks away with sad expression "We found in the cove small footprints that match Hiccup, there were skeletons from fish, there was also the big print from something giant its likely it was dragon, and found black scales that match of the night furry. Stoick I think that Hiccup has befriended the dragon and run away"
Stoick couldn't believe that his son has befriended their enemies, as Gobber looks at him and asks him "Stoick what are you going to do about Hiccup"
Stoick looks at his friend and tells him with the angry face "Nothing"
Gobber was surprised that Stoick isn't going to do anything for his son and he says to Stoick "Stoick you can't we are talking about your son".
Stoick is so angry that he tells his friend that "Son, I have no son" And with that Stoick dismissed his friend from his house.
After Gobber left he was so angry that he wanted to kill dragons because they took away their only son from him.
