She will be loved

Astrid: After school – My terrible life.

Astrid's POV

School had finished and I was making my way out the front gate; with my friends, talking about what the new singing competition and the basketball try outs for this year's star team. The rest of the day seemed pretty normal. I went to my classes as usual, scored an A on my animal biology test. My friends kept harassing me on why I was talking to the dork, to which I constantly replied that I was giving him a piece of my mind for walking into me. Luckily, they dropped the matter when we had to split up for sports class. The rest of the day unnerved me though. I couldn't stop thinking about Hiccup and what he said to me.

"I know what it's like to try and cover up… those kinds of injuries."

What did he mean by 'I know what it's like'? How could he possible know what I'm going through? Yes people picked on him and called him names but nobody abused him, did they? And even if they did, why do I care!? I couldn't wrap my head around why I had become so interested Hicc…

BRING BRING!

We all stopped as I checked my phone. My eyes grew wide as I read the text. 'Where are you? The boss has called everyone for an earlier shift remember? You're gonna be late!' My heart stopped.

"Shit, I forgot." I whispered, my voice full of urgency. Everyone stared at me like I had a second head. I looked at them and muttered a short 'I got to go', before running into town.

(=^.^=)

To say my boss was angry was an understatement! I finally got to my first part time job as a personal assistant at Bewilderbeast Inc. at 4:23. Twenty three minutes late, and my boss Drago was not pleased. Last time someone was late he docked them of a week's wages and had them clean every office in the building TWICE every day for a month. And that person was only two minutes late, so imagine how bad my punishment was.

Flashback

"Well if it isn't little Astrid, nice of you to finally join us." Drago teased, his voice too soft and calm. I gulped slowly, my throat becoming dry as I waited nervously for this sweet man to suddenly transform into the cruel tyrant we all knew he was.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, my feature held me up at school." I lied, hoping Drago would let me off a little easier. A small, dark chuckle ran through the building, I glanced up to see a laughing Drago, before his eyes grew cold.

"Oh you don't have to worry about that, everyone makes a mistake every once and awhile." He explained, his expression never faulting. I swallowed hard, my body trembling.

'I'm in big trouble.'

End of shift. Normal POV

"I'll teach you to not be late again!" Drago growled, looking down at the broken heap that lay on his office floor. Astrid coughed violently from her injuries. Her wrist was now sprained from when Drago had thrown her to the ground. Her voice hitched and wheezed with each breath from her now broken ribs. The once lonely healing bruise on her cheek was now joined by multiple purple marks and small shallow cuts that covered her arms and face. Astrid slowly attempted to lift herself from the floor, her cheeks stained from the tears of the pain that was being afflicted onto her.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Drago yelled, dragging Astrid up by her hair. She shrieked at the harsh pain that shook through her entire body. Her whole body jerked towards the wall as Drago continued to hold Astrid by her hair. He lowered his head into the crook or her neck, breathing in her sweet scent that was tinted with the smell of sweat and blood. A sadistic smile formed on his lips as perverted and sexual thoughts filled him mind. Astrid whimpered at the contact. Drago chuckled menacingly, extending his rough tongue, scrapping it slowly up the base of Astrid's trembling throat. He continued making his way along her jawline and finally to her lips.

"Its suck a shame that such a beautiful woman like you would be reduced to nothing but a common whore." Drago laughed before crashing his hard, rough mouth onto her soft lips. Fresh tears seeped down Astrid's cheeks, however this time they weren't tears of pain. They were tear of fear. Fear of the inevitable truth that no matter how strong she was; Astrid was still just a girl, and Drago was a man who overpowered her in both wealth, strength and power. She was just a woman, and nobody would care about what would happen to her.

'So why did he'

Astrid's eyes shot open, a new found strength surged through her body. Telling her, no, BEGGING her to break free, begging her to survive Drago's assault and make it to tomorrow. Begging her to find out why that Hiccup would care about what happened to her.

Astrid snaked her arms out of Drago's grasp and shoved them against his chest. Drago smiled darkly and lent harder against her weak form, forcing his tongue into her mouth in the process. Astrid nearly gagged from the pressure, before an idea popped into her mind. She waiting till his tongue was all the way in her; before clamping her teeth shut.

Drago yelped in pain, staggering back while holding his now bleeding tongue. Astrid used this chance to finally get away, running through the building as fast as her bruised legs would carry her. The only sound she could hear was her staggered breathing and the outburst of her now previous abusive employer.

"THAT WAS YOUR LAST MISTAKE HOFFISON NEXT TIME WE MEET YOU WONT BE SO LUCKY, I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL!" Drago raged, but Astrid kept running, the threat pushed to the back of her mind and replaced with an all too familiar question.

'Why is he so concerned about me?'

End of flashback

(=^.^=)

Astrid's POV

I limped back to my apartment, I had finally stopped crying, but the pain still ran through me. The pain of my injuries and the pain of what had nearly happened to me. I had never felt so weak. Not when I was left alone, not when I had to try and work two jobs, not even when my parents di… No I have never felt so weak before.

I stumbled across my front door, looking around my rundown apartment. 'If you could even call it an apartment.' I was disgusted by the shape in which the place was in. The rooms were always cold as I can never seem to afford to buy electric. The walls have strips of wall paper falling down and patches of mould covered the ceiling. I don't have the luxuries that most people had; T.V, sofa, computer. I just had the simple necessities to help get me through collage and life.

Grrrr

I looked down at my tummy as it rumbled hungrily. I made my way to the kitchen, looking around for something to eat. I opened the cupboards to nothing but an empty bag of bread. 'Shit I forgot to go shopping!' I sighed, it hadn't been the first time I had forgot to buy food. I left the kitchen and went back to the living room, pulled across the curtains and tucked myself into the stained mattress that I used for a bed, hoping I could sleep away my pain and hunger. I couldn't help but think about what my life had become, how I had gone from the only daughter of a loving family to a pathetic orphan who now couldn't afford the rent and food because she had now quit her one of her vital jobs.

'God why have you given me such a terrible life?' I thought before drifting off into a dull deep sleep.

And there we have it. I hope this chap wasn't too dark for ya, but I fear that it may get darker as the story goes on.
Anyway why is Astrid so obsessed with why Hiccup cares.
And why did the thought of him give her the strength to fight of Drago.
You'll just have to carry on reading to find out ;)
Zo-chan, over and out XD
