This chapter is very Dagur heavy. In fact it's pretty much Dagur and Astrid. I'm sorry it's so short but I think it's packed with a lot of stuff.
I thought that Dagur might be crazy enough to do something like this if he was more Hiccup and the gang's age. I mean, who didn't get that idea in the Flight Stuff from Defenders of Berk? He reaction was just creepy when he found out it was Astrid that was flying overhead.
Enjoy!
The next morning Astrid went into the woods earlier than normal. Her mind had been reeling about what Gobber had said. If she didn't find someone of her own free will, she would be forced upon someone?
But who would have the authority to do that? Stoick, that's who. But would he really do that to me? The sky was just starting to light up with the dawn as she got up to leave. Unfortunately, someone else was up and saw her too.
She went to the area of forest she dubbed as 'Her Area'. She began to practice her axe throwing and continued till the sun was over the horizon for two hours. She prepared to throw when suddenly something stopped her from preforming that action. She turned to see that Dagur had his hand on her axe.
"Get you grimy hands off of my axe," she threatened Dagur. She hated when other people touched her axe. It was her one possession she was obsessed with.
"Oh, you're feisty today. I like feisty. It's more fun that way."
"What's more fun?" Astrid asked. Dagur grinned evilly as he suddenly pushed Astrid to the ground.
Astrid was livid for being pushed to the ground. "Why you little-"
Astrid's rant was cut off when he quickly jumped on top of her and straddled her. "You wouldn't dare!" She said wide eyed when she realized what he was planning on doing to her.
"I'm not one for being serious, but this time? Yes. I'm very serious."
Astrid began to fight back by throwing punch after punch at his face and gut but he was hardly affected. He just laughed manically then grabbed her wrists, placing them on the sides of her head and pinned her down.
"Get off me!" she yelled. He just grinned and quickly found her mouth with his and forcibly kissed her.
When he pulled up for air Astrid screamed, "Get off of me you mentally insane pervert!"
"Oh, no. This is too much fun." He then pinned her arms by her side with his muscular legs keeping them in place as he began to take off his clothes.
Astrid's eyes went wide as he took off his shirt. She squirmed and screamed for help, which was so unlike Astrid but in this situation she didn't care. She was concerned for getting out of there without being hurt.
I'm not going to lose my virginity to him.
She began to wriggle and squirm violently under his stance as she continued to scream for help. She knew it wouldn't come. Most Vikings were still asleep. Besides, she was too far away for anyone to hear but she still hoped.
Her wriggling and his undressing finally knocked him off balance for a second but that's all she needed. In that one second, she kneed him where the sun don't shine and he stopped and fell on top of her. It took a minute to get him off of her and bolt into the woods with her axe. It wasn't long till he recovered and started to chase her.
She zig-zagged through the forest trying to lose him but he kept up with her.
This creep is committed. Damn! If I don't lose him soon, he'll get me.
She tried everything but nothing worked. This was her area of the woods, she knew it like the back of her hand. She knew where the deep holes were and purposely ran over those hoping Dagur would find everyone, which he did but kept getting up and closing the gap between them. She hid in a crevice that she found several years ago and watched as he passed her with no idea that she was right there.
Once she felt it safe to reveal herself, she ran in the direction of Berk. Suddenly, Dagur jumped in front of her.
"Did you think you could lose me that easily?"
Astrid turned and ran back deeper into the woods, once again with Dagur hot on her tail. She entered into a part of the woods she never ventured into but she didn't care. If I get lost, maybe he will too. She ran around trees, through bushes and into caves but somehow he kept finding her.
"You are really making this a bit difficult," Dagur said as he cornered her again. "But the end will be worth it."
Astrid gripped her axe harder as he approached. Wait! My axe! I'm such an idiot! She grinned slightly and raised her axe. Dagur saw this and it was time for his eyes to go wide with fear. He turned to hid behind a tree as she let it go but it still hit his leg. As he yelled in pain and wrapped his wound quickly, Astrid ran once again.
"You witch! You'll pay for that!" He took out on of his many daggers and threw it at Astrid.
"AH!" she screamed and threw her right hand to her left arm. In less than a second, blood was seeping through her fingers and dripping off her hand, but she continued running.
She ran and ran but started to slow down. It was getting harder and harder to lift her legs to run but she forced herself to. She was concentrated on finding a way to lose Dagur that her right foot landed in a deep indent and tripped her. She slowly sat up and looked at her foot but it seemed alright. With great effort and a lot of convincing in her mind, she got up but soon realized that Dagur now really had the upper hand in this situation.
Damn! I have no idea where I am, weaponless, a large wound, and now a twisted ankle! Dagur is going to win!
She shook her head and convinced herself that Dagur was not going to get what he wanted and forced herself to run nonetheless. It was painful and hard to accomplish now that the world began top slightly spin.
"Got you!" Dagur yelled as he body slammed her to the ground. Once again, he pinned her arms to her sides with his legs.
Astrid struggled but not as hard as before due to her weakened state but she was not about to let him get any pleasure out of what he was about to do. "When I get back to Berk and my friends find out what you did, they're going to kill you!"
"Oh I don't think so. You wouldn't want them to be arrested for man slaughter."
Astrid's eyes widened with that realization. He's right. I would never have them do it. "Then I'll kill you!"
"I can easily stop you. Take a look at where you are now." Dagur smiled evilly and she saw the lust in his eyes. But the next second her vision did something she's never seen before. Everything started to go fuzzy and go in and out.
In this strange state, she then heard a loud sound and a blue flash. She thought she imagined it but the next thing she knew Dagur was off of her and running from her screaming something about a monster.
She slowly got up and looked behind her. At first she didn't see anything but then heard the roar of a dragon. Her eyes went wide and she ran. She was weapon less and weakened. She couldn't fight the beast so she ran. She was slow because of the pain from her ankle but her fear of dying by the beast's mouth kept her going. She, however, didn't anticipate tripping over a root and falling. Falling, falling down a hill hitting branches and rocks which scratched and bruised her body.
When she finally stopped rolling she hit her head on a rock and was knocked out cold.
When Astrid woke, all she knew was that she had a massive headache. It felt like Thor himself was pounding in her brain and it hurt. Majorly. The sun was now past the middle of the day position in the sky.
Had I been knocked out that long? If I hadn't tripped I would have been home right now instead of…Where am I?
She looked around to see where she was but she didn't recognize a thing. She was surrounded by a large wall of grey rock that was intertwined with lush, green vegetation. The grass was a perfect green and contrasted beautifully with the sparkling blue pond that was on her left.
She went to get up but was shoved to the ground. Her eyes went wide with when she remembered Dagur and what he had planned to do to her. She turned to scream at him, "Dagur, you sick son of a –" she stopped when she came face to face with two large green eyes and continued slowly, "-half troll."
