A/N: Hey guys, this is another story for HTTYD and I hope it will be a success, so enjoy!

Normal POV

It had been just two days when Hiccup betrayed his whole clan. Befriended a dragon, lied to the village, lied to his friends...to his father. His name was never mentioned, and if it was...always with hate, disgust, shame. Hiccup the Useless went to being Hiccup the Traitor. No Viking wanted anything to with his past anymore.

Stoick carried that shame, and everyone felt sorry for him. Sorry that he had a son like Hiccup and not a real Viking. His mood changed that day. He became angry, shameful and...sad at the same time, that he let his son turn against him, and their own past of killing dragons. But today there was going to be some entertainment for the villagers of Berk...because today there was going to be an execution for a Viking who committed treason

Berk's Cell Blocks

Ripper could hear all the preparations going on for his execution outside, as well as all the gossip of either being beheaded, pulled apart, impaled, etc. It would normally send chills down any person...but Ripper could give two dragon shit's about it. He simply sat down, with his back leaning against the wall and stared at the wall across his cell. He knew Hiccup had escaped and was going to start a new life some where else. He was thinking that he did live a good life, even though he was the same age as Hiccup, only fifteen, but he was better treated than Hiccup...much better. And it sickened him.

The chief's son was known for only his blunders, mistakes, uselessness and trouble...nothing good...and people wished he was gone. Well they got their wish, and he was sure all of them were happy about it.

"Well, if it isn't the other stupid excuse for a troll" he heard Snotlout say. He looked to his left and on the other side of the cell bars were Astrid, Snotlout, the Twins and Fishlegs. Ripper just let out a laugh. "How long did it take you to come with that Snot? Must've been thinking about it all night aye?" he mocked. The teens saw this make a dent in Snotlout's ego.

"You shouldn't be talking like that to the future heir of this tribe" he said sticking out his chest. "Oh please...I give this village 2 days before it burns down when you become chief" he said, this time turning his attention back to the wall, denting Snotlout's ego even further. "Snot, just give it up" Astrid said seeing that Ripper could keep this up all day. "Ooh, it speaks" Ripper said, making fun of Astrid now...and she didn't like it one bit. "You're going to die in less than an hour...and you're making fun of us?" she spat at him.

"I'm going die...yes...and your point?" Ripper plainly asked. The others just stared at him in disbelief. "Oh and by the way...I've been making fun of you for only ten minutes...compared to what you all did to Hiccup for ten years" he said, anger evident in his voice. "What, the guy's a walking fishbone...he's pathetic" Snotlout said. "Not to mention useless, scrawny" Tuffnut added. "Even weak, dumb, and overall a loser" Ruffnut added. "Anything you and Fishlegs want to add to that Astrid?" Ripper asked, already wishing he was on the other side of those bars so he could strangle them. She didn't answer.

"I can't believe you guys" Ripper said, pure hatred in his voice. "You can't believe us?! What about you?! You along with him, betrayed us...betrayed our clan!" Astrid yelled. She was tired of Ripper being angry them for no reason. If he could be mad...so could she.

"Did I shove Hiccup's face into a barrel every single day...did I make fun of his mother when she died...did I always blame things on him, just for the fun of it...did I not have his back in those situations...did you ever hear him cry in the night...did you ever see him run into the forests and cry his heart out...did I ever tease him every single time when I saw him...did I never listen to him...did you ever hear him wishing he was DEAD!...did I ever make him feel USELESS!" he shouted. By now he was holding the bars of his cell and everyone took a step back when he lunged at them.

"Fishlegs was probably the only one who tried to be a friend to him! But you guys began making fun of him when he tried to!" he said, pointing at Snotlout and the Twins. The teens couldn't believe what Ripper had said. "Did...did we really..." Astrid began but was cut off. "Yes you did really!" Ripper shot back. He looked back to Snotlout. "You were his cousin, his blood, and you were the one who tormented him the most...bullied him...hurt him...and you always laughed at him just because in your mind he was a stupid excuse for a Viking...and most of you joined in making fun of him" he said. By now he had calmed down and had let go for the bars. He went back to where he was sitting and slumped down. "I'm done talking" he stated and looked back at the wall.

He head the sound of four pairs of feet walk dissipate as they walked off, but there were five who came. "What are you still doing here?" he asked without turning. Astrid was still there. "You're the person I least want to talk to...after you betrayed him" he said.

"How did I betray him...I did what any other Viking would have done!" she shot back. Right now she wasn't angry...she didn't know what emotion to choose. "He loved you Astrid" he stated. This caught Astrid off guard and her eyes became softer, and she was developing a feeling in her heart which she never felt before.

"He would tell me that every time you smiled at him...it would have brightened up his day. He said he was thankful you didn't bully him, tease him, and because of that he could trust you, and he did trust you. He thought you were different from the others. He wanted to show you Toothless" Ripper said. If he was about to die, he might as well tell her everything since she might never see Hiccup again.

"Look at the blade of your axe" he said. Astrid looked at her axe which she carried with her at her belt and took it and turned it over. She gasped when she saw the word's Valkyrie's Blade" engraved in the metal. "Take a close look at that weapon" he said, but she was already starting to. The axe was light but the blade was perfect, strong, tough, not easily worn. The grip was phenomenal, and suited her perfectly. "Hiccup made that for you" he said.

"But my...dad gave it to me on my 15th birthday" she said. "He never told you where he got it from did he?" he asked. Then it started coming back to her. Hiccup was extremely busy that time she remembered. He only said he was working on something but she didn't know what. "He cared for you...but he knew he would never be able to get because well...there are so many other Vikings who are deserving of you that he's just...nothing" he said.

Astrid heard enough and she left him there. She ran...just ran and ran...and ran...not to her home...she ran to the forest, deep into the forest and without knowing, she found herself at the Cove...the same place where found Hiccup and Toothless...and told everyone. The sky was a dark grey now, a storm was coming but this one would be different. She dropped her axe onto the ground and fell to her knees and a few drops of water fell onto the blade with the engraving in it. But it wasn't rain.

Astrid was crying.
