"She has to be back by now" I said as I pace around the clubhouse. 8 days ago we received a terror mail from House Hofferson, asking Astrid to go back home for Reasons we don't know. Astrid mailed to us saying she is going to come back yesterday night but she didn't.

"We should all go for a search, it's been a day, come on guys"

"Hiccup, we can't leave the edge unprotected, what if Viggo attacks here?" Ruffnut said as she took a bite of her chicken.

"Then half of us stay. Fishlegs and the twins can stay and You, Snotlout, and I go search for Astrid"

"We can't leave each other again. Remember what happened last time?" Snotlout said

"This could be someone's life at risk. Our friend could be in danger! And you decide not to help her?!" I raised my voice

"She's a Hofferson, She could beat anyone up. Plus she also has Stormfly, everything is fine" Snotlout said

"And if she got caught up in a storm?"

"Stormfly is good at predicting weather Hiccup" Fishlegs said

"...Still, anything is possible and so she could be captured. I'm going to look for her, Toothless!" I whistled. "Let's go bud"

"Hiccup we need a leader here" Fishlegs said

"And I need Astrid to be safe." I Mounted on to toothless "Me, not being here will not be too much of a difference if I was here. Fishlegs and Heather make up me. So all of you will be fine. Good Luck" I said to them and we took off.

Viggo can attack any second but they have Heather and they are more alerted. Now all that is left to do is making sure Astrid is fine.

"Alright bud. Let's check over this Island". We have been searching for Astrid for an hour and nothing. The skies were dark so it was raining, don't know if it was light or heavy.

"Astrid? Stormfly?" I Called out.

"Toothless. Distress call" I said and Toothless blasted towards the sky.

"...Well Let's go check around the Island. We can also get some water" I grabbed my cup from Toothless's saddle bag.

"Look there's one over there" I pointed at a river, down the hill.

I dipped my cup and started drinking. Toothless started drinking too

"I'm sorry bud for all this flying. I'm just really worried about her. Life is she was in the ocean, almost drowning like that time. If I wasn't in time then she would...I don't want to lose her. I want to marry her and have kids. I want to share my life with her. She's everything to me.." I started heavily breathing but that went down in seconds.

"Rrrrr" Toothless purs and nudges me to the left

"Right..Yeah, Let's keep on going"

"So Still no response from the distress call. So they must not be here or she is in trouble. I'll walk around the edge and you go fly around. Maybe we'll-"

"Guys! Did you see that blast in the sky!"

Toothless and I hid behind a bush

"It's just a wild dragon in the air. Nothing we can do"

"Let's kill it"

" You Idiots that was no ordinary fire blast. It has to be from a night fury. From the dragon rider that Viggo wants"

"They must be around the Island. Tell every hunter to be cautious and don't let that girl out of your sight Ragnar" The 3 guys left leaving one guy behind with a cage next to him, covered in a blanket.

"That's where Astrid might be...Just knock him out bud"

Toothless gave me a surprised look

"What? It's just one guy and we need to get Astrid"

Me and toothless went behind the cage and I nodded at him and he slapped his tail on the hunter's head causing him to blackout. I pull the sheet from the cage and saw a body in there. It was Astrid, covered in a blanket, her head only showing

"Astrid! Wake up, we're here to rescue you. Toothless open up this cage"

Toothless sent a plasma blast to the lock but nothing "this is a dragon proof cage. We can't do it with just you bud"

"Who's there?!"

"Quickly Toothless " I mounted on to him "The only option is to bring the cage back to the edge"

Toothless grabbed the cage with his legs and started flying. It was too heavy for him but he kept flying.

"There! Dragon rider! Let's take back What's ours" They started shooting arrows at us

"Watch out" I screamed

Toothless kept douching each arrow and at the same time he kept flying higher but slowly.

"I got this" A hunter said as I turned back and saw a arrow flying straight to toothless. I moved my leg towards it but it was too late, it already hit him.

"Rwar!" Toothless roared in pain

"Come on bud, we can still make it"

"Rwarrr!!" He roared again

Suddenly two gronckles came in and started shooting at the hunters.

"Yes! Good thinking bud, reinforcements" We continued flying really slowly until we made it to a nearby island. He slowly placed the cage down and he dropped down.

"Let me see...it's a normal arrow so healing should be fast" I said to him and patted him. I turned and saw the cage. She was still there, not awake...was she even breathing?!

"Astrid come on! Please wake up" I reached for her hand and felt her pulse. She was still breathing!

I stood up "Oh Thor! I need the damn key!" I kicked the cage

"Hiccup" Astrid said with the quietest whisper

"Astrid! Mildly. Don't worry you're safe"

She looked and me and then closed her eyes. She opened her hand and there was a key. I grabbed it and opened the cage.

"Astrid!" I held her in my arms and realize that she had a few scratches on her face.

"I'm sorry I was late Astrid. I'm sorry"

She moaned

She had a blanket wrapped around her and it's just really hot out here. I took it off...and..and I couldn't believe what I have just seen. Anger and sadness started to build up in me. Blood stains on her shirt and leggings! Holes in her pants with her skin bruised, probably from many falls.

"A-Astrid" my voice cracked. Tears started forming in my eyes

"Those stupid hunters. I should have killed them!..I-I'm sorry A-Astrid" I hugged her and then laid her back to the ground.

"Don't..Don't say..those thing Hiccup" She said. I quickly ran up to toothless who is watching us with worried eyes. He seems so tired and he couldn't move, not even lifting his head up. I patted him and went to the saddle bag and grabbed a rag and a cup. I looked around and luckily for us there was a lake near us. I filled the cup with water and went back to Astrid

"Astrid. Please stay with me. I can't imagine a world without you" I took off her armor slowly and her shirt, leaving her with her binders. There was a small open wound on her side. If this and other cuts don't get treatment, it will go infected. I ran back to Toothless and grabbed my medical kit. I have just in case any of us get hurt. I Never thought that I would use it. I ran back only to fall down.

What if she..dies?! What would I do without her? I can't have a life without her. I'll be nothing.

Toothless nudges me with his tail

I shook my head and walked back to Astrid. I was gonna have a anxiety attack. More tears started to roll down.

I placed water on her side and Astrid hissed

"I'll be quick Astrid"

After that I placed a towel and dried it off and placed ointment on it, lastly wrapping a bandage on her.

"Um. This will be quick too"

I took her leggings and skirt off, leaving her with just her underwear and there was also an open wound on her left leg. Bigger than the other one. And these were fresh cuts. If only I came in earlier. After finishing up I placed her beneath a tree where toothless was. I sat next to her and looked at them.

"I failed the protect both of you. I'm such a failure" I sighed.

"Stop saying that Hiccup"

I looked up and saw Astrid with her eyes opened. I smiled and brought her to my arms. I kissed her sweet lips and then leaned on the tree and laid Astrid on top of me, with her head resting on my chest

"You scared me mildly"

"I know and I'm sorry. I should have been more careful"

"What did they do to you and how did they got you"

"Stormfly and I got caught up in a storm so we decided to stay at that Island for the night but these trappers found us and they tied up. A few hours before you found me, Stormfly broke free and went to the edge. So she's safe. As for me, they thought I freed her and they started hitting me. Hiccup, they S-starved me, made me get no sleep, almost made me kill a dragon, They almost Raped me!" She cried and buried her head on my chest.

"It's okay. Astrid. You're with me. I won't let anyone hurt you" I rubbed her back

"Did you tend my 2 wounds?"

"Yeah. When we get back to the edge Fishlegs and Heather could examine you and see if I did any mistakes.

"How did you know what to do?"

"Umm..experience?"

"And we'll talk about that when I feel better. So..you like what you saw" She smirked. Changing the conversation as she had tears forming in her eyes. I wanted to talk about her about the things they did to her but I think we should actually talk about that topic later.

"Astridddd. This is a Serious conversation."

"...did you?"

"...thinking about it now. Yes. Yes I did" I kissed her check and she laid her head on my chest and We stayed like this. Hearing the wind and bird chirping. In the distance I saw two known dragons flying near towards us.

"Help is here" I whispered

Well another chapter down. Sorry for the wait. I just had a lot of school things in ny mind and I didn't have inspiration. Please review and give me ideas. It's okay if you do more than 1. Also please share this to the dragon fans. I would be thankful for that.
