A/N: There is a bit of mild violence during the middle part of the chapter.
Anyways, please review so I can know how to strengthen my writing.

Chapter 4

I wonder if Hiccup is alright. It has only been a few hours since I parted with him. Negative thoughts flooded my mind making my eyes well up with clear damp frost. Relax Jack, relax I repeated to myself as I searched for a place to stay before nightfall. I wanted to be close to Hiccup, but he wanted me to keep my distance as his plan proceeded. I understand that I may become a nuisance because I am mischievous and I also get distracted easily. I hope Hiccup knows what he is doing.
I found an area a bit close to where Hiccup was. If I hear anything suspicious, I will check it out for the sake of his safety. I settled down beside a sycamore tree as I rested my head against a pillow of delicate green grass. The wind felt cool against my face as it whistled through the lush flora. I started to drift into the world of dreams as my eyelids started to feel heavy.

I was awoken by the little droplets of rain as they streamed across my cheek. I realized that it was finally dawn. Hiccup is waiting for me I thought as I stretched and picked myself up. I started to head toward the area where he was. Grey clouds started appearing right before my eyes as they swarmed right into each other making the little raindrops flourish into a thunderous storm. I picked up my pace covering myself with the hood of my blue jacket.
When I arrived, my worst fears came to life. Hiccup was cornered by the dangerous Night Fury. I knew it wasn't a good idea to leave him alone. I tried to run to Hiccup, but my legs wouldn't move. I was stuck two feet deep in the oozing dark brown earth as the rain heavily poured down upon me. I tried to free myself; I used my powers, but nothing was working. I saw true fear hidden behind Hiccup's green eyes as the dragon started approaching him, ready to attack. The dragon eyed the boy as its long slimy tongue licked its lips. I flailed my arms around and screamed until my lungs burned to distract the dragon, but it just didn't work. I was panicking, I tried to free my legs from the muddy trap, but the hold was just too strong. Many emotions shot through my body which felt like I was being pelted with a million stones. I didn't know what to do. Hiccup was going to be killed by that thing and it would be my fault. As Hiccup looked at me, he was in desperate need for my help and had a strong look of disappointment. Hiccup was slowly backing away from the beast until he tripped on a root; the boy didn't have any time to react as fell backwards hitting the ground with a large thud. I tried to swallow a large lump that was in my throat as my hands shook and cold beads of sweat dripped down my face. I didn't want to watch, I looked away in great disgust as I saw the treacherous monster pounced on Hiccup's thin body as it started to rip him apart. I felt like throwing up; I felt like my heart was going to explode from all the frustration, panic, and fear. I started to cry hysterically as Hiccup spat out my name with pure hatred; he was left mangled and barely clinging on to life. I'm sorry Hiccup.

My eyes flung open, I was lying in a pool of my own tears. Thankfully it was just a dream. I sat up and looked around, it was nightfall. I couldn't calm myself down from all the horror that shot through me so I decided to wait up till dawn. I watched the stars twinkle dimly through the night as the crickets chirped their melodies away.
I was lost—deep in thought—about why I was becoming such a worried wreck all of a sudden. I would over think the negative things about Hiccup which would cause me to stress. It's like he was my number one priority. That he was the one that mattered to me the most right now. Of course I never forget to bring people winter, but lately North was the one reminding me. Whenever I headed off to a destination, the thought of Hiccup would always cross my mind which delayed my work. I wondered why. Do I love Hiccup? The word love struck me a bit. No spirit or Guardian has ever loved a human before because if we get too attached we might risk losing our powers and become a mortal.

North told me a story about the fifth Guardian once. His name was Cupid. Well, Cupid had fallen in love with this girl that he was friends with for a long time. One day he professed his feelings to her, but sadly she didn't feel the same way. Enraged, Cupid grabbed his magical bow and arrow and attempted to shoot her in the heart so that she could fall in love with him. Even though he had a millennium of training to perfectly aim his shots, he unfortunately missed. The Man in the Moon saw his selfish action and eventually took away Cupid's power; he was replaced with another being right after.

I did not want to risk getting my powers taken away. If I become mortal I would have no family to go to and Stoick would definitely not let me live with him and Hiccup. I buried my face in my hands, as I groaned with frustration at my thoughts and feelings. I wanted to love Hiccup and show him, but I couldn't. He was basically everything that I always would want in a person, but I couldn't have him. If I did tell Hiccup that I loved him he might not even feel the same way back since he liked Astrid. He would always talk about how he loved her spunky attitude and how her hair falls perfectly over her shoulders. It would irritate me since he could spend hours talking about her. I still listened to him though. Probably I was jealous at the time, but didn't really realize it back then.

Maybe I will tell him one day, even if it involved in me losing my powers.

When the sun started to climb up high into the crisp morning sky, I left to go see Hiccup.
