Cave In

Chapter 3: It'll Be Ok

Hello my awesome readers! I hope some of you guys will flock away from the now FINISHED ADB and check my profile every now and again for the side plots I plan to write. I hope you enjoyed ADB, since Cave In will most likely turn out to be a short story, instead of a two chapter plot bunny. This will even have OC's!

DISCALIMER: I DO NOT own HTTYD or it's characters!

Astrid moaned as she opened her eyes and looked around, the cavern they had been racing in was now mostly dark and creepy, with a bit of light sneeking in from the wall of boulders now covering the exit. Off near the pile of rocks, Astrid could see Nad laying against the wall near it, his eyes open but the Nadder's entire body was covered in purple bruises and part of his wing was slightly ripped, not all the way through, but a bit of the wing was cut and blood was leaking from several cuts, some rather long, that were on the scaled dragons body.

Astrid managed to crawl over to her dragon, her head and body hurting like crazy as she finally made it to her dragon. "Nad...?" she asked fearfully, worried he might just die at any second.

The dragon turned his head slowly towards her and growled softly and tried to stand up, only for the dragon to collapse and groan in pain. Astrid immediately moved over to his side and began reaching for her saddle bags, which had cloths and other medical things in them, only to find it gone, the entire saddle was missing.

Astrid looked around and considered her options. Look around the rubble for the saddle while her dragon bled, or improvise. Sighing the blond puffed some hair out of her eyes. She had always been the one to improvise after all.

Astrid then began to tear the lower parts of her shirt off and use the thick fabric to close up the already bloody cuts, somehow managing to stop the blood from leaking out, but it was only temporary. She would need to get him to the village doctor. And fast.

"Hiccup!" she called. No answer. "Hiccup!!" she called again, this time louder. Unsurprisingly there was, yet again, no response. The female warrior huffed to herself and sat down next to Nad, wrapping her arms around her dragon's neck, her own body becoming incredibly sore all of the sudden. She groaned once more before Nad wrapped his good wing around her and then she faded into a mix between a horrible sleep and unconsciousness.

Astrid cursed softly once she realized she had fallen asleep. She snapped awake, though a bit groggy, and to her delight, she heard voices. They were far off and muffled, causing Astrid to wonder just how much of the mountain had been taken out by the rock slide. "Hello!" she called, and again with the no responses. She tried again. "Hello!!" and once more. "HELLO!!!" but to no avail, no one heard her. Sighing Astrid leaned against Nad, who was sleeping.

Briefly Astrid considered going back the way she had come in, but to her dismay, the other end of the cavern was sealed up by another wall of rocks as well.

Groaning at her stupid luck, the viking girl simply went back into a restless slumber.

Astrid contineud to awake and fall back asleep for some time, sometimes she heard voices and sometimes dragon roars, but none of them ever responded to her. After what seems days, Astrid heard a familiar voice that brought a joyful cry to her lips. "HICCUP!!!" she called, still laying against Nad, having lost most of her strength, battered up as well from the cave in.

She swore for a second her heart stopped when she heard a half muffled call. "HICCUP!!!!" she screamed as loud as she could. Nad joined in as well and they heard a soft roar, Toothless's roar. "They heard us!" she said in relief. She sunk against Nad, who was growing colder and colder. "Hang in there Nad" she said effectively as she rubbed his neck. "Just a bit longer..."

Hiccup sighed so explosively that he was sure his head would explode. He and Toothless sat on what had once been a decently sized forest. The rock slide had been greater then they had though, it had covered a good bit of the nearby area and had made finding the cave a thousand times harder. For nearly a full day straight they had been looking around for Astrid. And finally, they had found her. "Ok boy, lets go get the others! Hurry!" he said anxiously, worried for Astrid and Nad's safety, but the former was more important to him at the moment. "i'll get you out of there Astrid..." he whispered to himself as Toothless took off towards the direction of Berk.
