CHAPTER 2: The Truth to Realize
NORMAL POV
Three days had already past when Hiccup and Heather betrayed their clan and shamed his family name. They never mentioned his name after those events. Even if it was mentioned it was always followed by shame, disgusts, or curses. Hiccup the useless was now Hiccup the traitor or Hiccup the Outcast.
The Chief, Stoick the vast carried the shame, and everyone felt sorry for him, not because of his loss but because he had a son like Hiccup, a sorry excuse for a Viking. He felt a lot of feelings that day. He felt anger, betrayal, shame but most of all he also felt... sad. But today was a day to celebrate for the villagers because today there's going to be an entertainment for them... because today there was going to be an execution. The execution of a Viking, who was also accused of high treason, today is the day of Scunner's execution.
SCUNNER'S POV
(BERK'S PRISON CELLS)
I woke up with a startle. I was woken by the uproar and the cheering of the people outside the prison. "Well? This must be it" I thought to myself, I heard a lot of commotions outside, I heard about me being beheaded or tore limb to limb, but the most terrible thing I heard was the blood eagle. Blood eagle was most painful way to die because...I can't really describe it because it's too horrible to explain and knowing it might happen to me later that scared the soul out of me, but knowing that Hiccup, Heather, and Toothless are safe, I can let myself die in peace, especially Heather. I sat back and leaned at the wall thinking where they would be right now, I wish somewhere safe I thought. They're now starting their new life now; I think it would now be a good one because he finally felt freedom and free of misery.
I was thinking that I he lived a good but simple life, even though me and Heather was just an orphan at Berk's orphanage, I was the same age with Hiccup and Heather, were only fifteen, But me and Heather was treated much better than Hiccup, and that sickened and angered me. Hiccup was known for his mistakes, his uselessness, being weak, and his troubles and many more and none of them are positive about him only the negative ones. Why couldn't they just accept him and see his good side, "he actually thinks about the lives of everyone before himself that was his inventions are for, to prevent or reduce the people of getting possibly hurt or killed during raids, but they all think it's crazy!" I thought, and people wished he was gone. "Looks like they got their wish" I muttered to myself in a low voice.
All of those thoughts dispersed when someone talked outside my cell. "Well if it isn't the traitor who helped the useless, no let me rephrase that, well if it isn't the other useless who helped the other useless" I heard Snotlout said with a smirk on his face, with the twins laughing at his back. I turned to see who was there and I saw Snotlout, Ruff, Tuff, Fishlegs, and Astrid. I looked at them with an angry face. "Oooo... scary!" said Tuffnut in a sarcastic voice, giving a high-five to his sister. "Must have taken all of your brains to come out with that huh? Maybe took you two days to think something like that right?... Snot!" I said to him with a smirk on my face.
"You shouldn't be talking like that to the future Chief of berk" Snotlout said while raising his head high and chest high. "Pfft! I give this village a day before it burns to the ground when you became Chief, In fact if this cheifing thing had bets on it between you and a wolf, I'd place my bet on the wolf because it has more sense of being a leader than you" I said to him. I could see in his face that he's angry at what I have just said. But Snotlout quickly returned to his composure before he lost his temper. "Just give it up snot!" said Astrid before Snotlout gave more comments. "Wow I didn't know it can speak!" I said as I mocked Astrid... and I can tell that she doesn't like it at all because it's written all over her face. "Good thing I'm locked up at this cell or I could have died earlier!" I thought to myself. "You're going to die in less than an hour... and you're making fun of us?" Astrid spat at me with an angry voice.
"Typical Astrid always knows what to say, as expected" I thought "So what if I'm going to die... and your point is?" I said with a sarcastic voice. "You all get irritated so easily and I've just making fun of you for only... what? Like fifteen minutes or so... compared of what you did to Hiccup for fifteen years!" I spat at them with anger in my tone. "What? Please he's a talking fishbone!" Snotlout said, "and a big screw-up and useless" tuffnut added, "not to mention scrawny, weak, dumb, and a loser" Ruffnut added with a laugh. "Fishlegs, Astrid want to add something?" he asked to them, wishing he was on the other side and strangle them.
Then I said "I can't believe all of you..." But Astrid cut in on what was I was about to say "You! Can't believe us?! What about you?! ...The three of you were the one that betrayed your own kind! Your own People! Your own Village!...The three of you sided with the mortal enemy of the Vikings for three generations! And you have the guts to say you can't believe us!" Astrid yelled at me. But that's not what I meant about me can't believe in them... "That's not what I meant... What I meant was that I can't believe in all of you treating him like some kind of animal! Let me remind you he's human too, He also has a heart that has feelings!" I shouted at them.
Then I looked at Snotlout with a blank expression in his face "You! You were his cousin for Thor's sake and you treated him like a slave!" I yelled at him, and then proceeded to the twins. "The two of you, do you know who always fixed your helmet when it's near in its limit from the banging that you two always do?!" Then Tuffnut cut in, "yeah Gobber!" he said. "No! Hiccup did! Do you think Gobber has time to fix your stupid helmets whenever you dented or destroyed it! No... But Hiccup always volunteered to fix them for the two of you" that silenced them and took of their helmets to look at it. "You Fishlegs who do you think puts all the knowledge in that stupid dragon book?" Then Fishlegs said, "Hiccup?" he said in a low voice not looking at me. "Yes he did!" I yelled at him. But Astrid interrupted me in my anger and said "And what's your point here?" That struck a nerve in me because after all what I just have said she still doesn't get what I mean! "...Oh for the love of... Did I shove Hiccup's face into a barrel every single day...did I make fun of him when he was crying for his mother when she died...did I always blame every single thing to him, just for fun...did Heather and I not have his back in those situations...did you ever hear him cry in the night...did you ever see run to the forest to cry his hearts out...did I tease him every single time I saw him...did I never listened to him..." I stopped for a second and continued, "...Did you ever hear him wishing. He was DEAD!...DID I EVER MAKE HIM FEEL USELESS!" I shouted with everything my lungs can give out while I gripped the bars of my cell to hold myself from reaching them and punching them in the face.
I released my gripped at the bars and turned my back from them and sat down at edge where the light didn't reached, "Fishlegs was probably the only that tried to be friend with him, But when he did, you started making fun of him! ….so Hiccup stopped talking to Fishlegs for his sake" I said and looked at the ground. "d-did we-we r-really make him….." Astrid said stuttering in her own words, "Never thought of hearing the mighty Astrid Hofferson to stutter" I thought to myself, I smirked but I returned to being serious and said "that's it I'm done talking to all of you! Especially you!" I pointed at Astrid.
I heard sounds of feet walking out of the prison and assumed that they were all gone, but when I looked back at the place where they stood I saw Astrid standing there with a puzzled face. "Don't you understand what done talking means" I spat at her but she just stood there. "You're the least person I wanted to talked to after you told the whole village about our little secret, after you betrayed us!" I said. "Me? Betrayed him? How cou…" I stopped her by saying "do we really have to go through this again?" I said shutting her up. She was about to talk again but I beat her to it by saying "he loved you Astrid" I stated, catching her off guard because I can see in her eyes that she wants to listen from what I was about to say, "He would sometimes tell us that when you smiled at him…. It brightens his day up wishing he could always see that smile almost every day. He was thankful at the gods because you didn't bully him every day like everyone else... we always said to him to give up on you because we can see that you'll shove him away once he confess his love to you…. Good thing it didn't happen because I hate to see him depressed…. We always ended in a fight when we argued about your behavior with us, me and Heather, saying that you're the same like the others and that he's just blind because of his love for you to see that, but no matter how many times we said that, he still believed that you're not like one of them….. But now I can see you're just the same as them…..you see he trusted you, he even considered showing Toothless to you…. But what did you do when you found out about him and Toothless, you ratted them out instead of listening to him" I told her. "I'm going to die anyways so might as well tell her everything, besides she's not going to see Hiccup anymore" I thought to myself.
I turned to look at her still sitting at the dark edge of the room, "Look at your axe…..at the part where the handle and blade meet", she looked at her white ivory with gold linings and leathered handled axe and turned it and gasped silently when she what was engraved at the blade, "it says Valkyrie's blade, right?" I said. She nodded in reply. "Hiccup made that for you….. He made more than…..Five attempts to perfect that axe" I told her. "But my dad gave it to me as a present on my 12th birthday" she stated, I smirked "he never really told you where he got it? Did he?" I asked. "Yeah he told me Gobber made it and bought it for me" she stated. "Puhlease…. Did you ever did think a blade with that kind of design and balanced handle and so sharp that it can slice anything in one chop can be afforded by your father even if he's the right hand of Stoick? …..only Kings of empires or even Gods of Valhalla should be wielding that kind of weapon….. That thing should be worth more than five gold bars. I'd never know where he got that gold to create those linings but he did an amazing job on that" I told her.
"See… He cared for you…. But he accepted the fact that a guy like him could never always get the girl….he always thought that he never deserved being with you because there are lot of other Vikings that has more muscles, looks, and glory that deserved you…. And he's just… nothing" I said looking at the ground with a sad look on my face remembering that conversation with Hiccup, I still remembered the emotions flowing in his face while saying those words, I can see hopelessness, agony, grief but most of them…Sadness.
I saw her run away, going outside the prison house with what I thought that I would never see in her face, I saw tears running down her face. "Maybe she finally realized all of her actions towards Hiccup" I thought. After a few minutes later I caught myself still staring at the door still realizing that all of those events really happened and what really surprised me was what I saw at Astrid. That Astrid was crying.
