Hiccup woke up on the with a head ache. He got up unsteadily, clutching the chest wound he received from the run in with the troll. He breathed in and out, checking for any signs of extreme pain; none. Toothless cooed at him and rubbed his head at Hiccup's side.
"Hey there, bud." He smiled at the dragon and moved to get up. Toothless made a questioning noise, moving over to help Hiccup should he fall down. "No, no, I'm fine, I think I can stand." And he could. His arm ached though, so he wrapped it in a sling. Pulling his shirt over his head, he headed outside with Toothless in toe.
oOo
"Stoick, you can't kill the troll. I don't think it just randomly attacked Hiccup without a reason. Trolls are territorial creature; when Toothless crashed, I think they accidently ran over one of their…" Gobber tried to explain it to Stoick, but he was being stubborn, like always.
"It. Attacked. Hiccup. End of story." Stoick replied back, finishing the conversation.
"Fine, go after it then."
"I don't see a problem with killing." Snotlout added.
"Oh, can't we watch!" Tuffnut said, raising his hand with his sister nodding in agreement.
"No one is going to do anything besides rebuilding." Gobber informed them.
"Rebuild?" Ruffnut said, the words coming out like they were poison in her mouth.
"Rebuild what?" Astrid asked. Gobber just handed them some long handled pliers.
"Gobber?" a voice called out. It was Hiccup, walking down the tiled road to Gobber's forge.
"Hiccup, glad to see you're awake." The teens turned and smiled, Astrid rushed up to him and hugged him, making sure to avoid his arm. He smiled nervously,
"Hiccup, you're alright!" she said happily.
"I heard my dad was going after the troll, is that correct?" he asked.
"Yeah, you know Stoick. But I've got a plan, and you have a very important part." Gobber said to Hiccup.
oOo
Stoick and the other Vikings stalked through the dark and damp forest. Stoick knew these woods like the back of his hand, there is no way some troll will get away from him. He raised his sword and ordered the others to split up. Each Viking going their separate ways, some in groups, Stoick was left by himself. He crouched down and sneaked forward, looking in all directions. It was extremely hard to see, so he let his ears guide him.
A branch snapped off to his right and he swung his head around. His eyes saw nothing but trees and his ears picked up nothing but the sound of frogs and crickets chirping. Suddenly he saw movement behind one of the bushes and rushed forward. He grabbed the figure and pinned it to the ground ready to strike it with his sword. He stopped instantly though when he found out who it was.
"Hiccup? You're alright! Wha-what are you doing out here?!"
"To stop you from killing yourself. Dad, the troll didn't harm me without a reason. I accidently ran over her nest." Hiccup reasoned with him. Stoick was about to respond when he saw something big stalking the two from within the forest. He pushed Hiccup behind him, waiting and watching the creature.
A boulder was thrown right at Stoick's head. He yelled to get down and pushed Hiccup to the ground, himself covering Hiccup to protect him. Upon getting up, Stoick's sword was taken and thrown far away. The troll roared loudly and growled thrown daggers at Stoick. She looked over at Hiccup and instantly remembered him from last time. Hiccup climbed on to a rock and whistled for the beast to look up at him. The troll growled lowly. Stoick attempted to strike her in the head, but it did little damage. The beast returned the action, with a more severe blow, throwing Stoick to the side as she went after Hiccup.
"Hiccup!" he yelled as he struggled to get up.
Hiccup ran as fast as he could, hearing the troll behind him closing in.
"Just a little bit more!" he whispered to himself. He ducked and rolled to avoid a blow to the head and jumped out of the brush and up to the new nest where Gobber and his friends were waiting. Gobber grabbed him and pushed him behind, his hammer hand ready in case the plan didn't work.
When the troll appeared from out of the brush it stopped and observed her nest. It was back to normal, maybe even better than before. It let out a clicking sound and studied the humans that stood off to the side. She sniffed her home and looked over past the others. The three trolls that Hiccup and his friends saw before came out from the trees and walked up to the female, a smaller one following.
Stoick caught up to them stopping when he saw the trolls. He realized Hiccup was telling the truth and lowered his guard as not to start another fight. He shifted over to the others.
One of the male trolls approached the Vikings, eyeing Hiccup. Gobber and Stoick went to move in front of Hiccup, but Hiccup protested and stepped forward. He saw what the troll wanted and took out his good hand. The troll dropped a few berries into Hiccup's hand and went back to the nest.
"You're welcome!" Hiccup said smiling.
oOo
Back at the village, it was late at night as Hiccup and Astrid took a stroll beside the cliffs. The moon was full and it glistened over the water below.
"You seriously have a thing with beasts." Astrid pointed out. Hiccup just shrugged his shoulders,
"Eh, they're just misunderstood."
"Like you?"
"Yeah, like me."
"Hiccup, you know—Hiccup?" Astrid asked as Hiccup began to clutch his head and cringe.
The world began to spin and nausea soon came. Hiccup fell down on his knees and heaved. He began hyperventilating and moaned in pain.
"Hiccup, are you alright?!" Astrid asked him apprehensively. His eyes began to roll into the back of his head and she quickly caught him before his head hit the ground.
Astrid's words sounded closer than they actually were all noises in fact. He covered his ears as they started to ring and shut his eyes tight. His hurt terribly, like little razor sharp daggers were using his brain as target practice.
"Hiccup, what's wrong?!" he was laying in a fetal position, tense and shaking. He began to cry out and breathe deeply, his breathes coming out as if his lungs had a hole in them.
"Help, somebody, help!" Astrid yelled at the top of her lungs.
oOo
Mildew watched from behind cover as Stoick and Gobber rushed over to Astrid and Hiccup. He smiled and laughed silently to his self.
"Now that Hiccup's out of the way, it won't be long before those dragons follow."
Alright, do you guys want me to continue this story or end it here and create a sequel? I was thinking about creating a sequel…
Reviews are loved, but I understand if you have nothing to say—I have that all the time LOL
