Hey guys! So I bet you're wondering what happened to Astrid right? Well, read and find out!

Toothless POV

Why are humans so difficult? First they were happy, then they became angry, and then the female was sad, and Hiccup was confused. I had been so caught up in them that I didn't notice the other dragon until it was too late. The female human was snatched away by the nadder, and before we could go after them, they were gone.

Hiccup was ready to jump but I stopped him and we flew off into the sky. I could hear the human's screams and darted towards them. Hiccup cared for her, and she cared for him, so she was important too. As we got closer to the source, the screaming stopped. Hiccup grew scared, but I knew the girl was fine, there was no scent of blood.

I could smell the human's scent and landed near the cave entrance. This was most likely the nadder's den, and we should proceed with cation. I turned to Hiccup but he had other plans, my human rider ran in the cave yelling for the female. Why are humans so difficult?

Astrid

Astrid had stopped screaming when the nadder dropped her. She didn't care anymore, everyone from Berk was going to die, and she just wanted all the pain to end. Her trip away from home had been filled with tears, and that wasn't her. Astrid didn't cry, she didn't let her emotions take over. All she wanted was to die and be with her family in Valhalla. She waited for the blow, but it never came, only a soft chirping.

She opened her eyes and noticed the nadder was lying down, just staring at her. Confused and wary, Astrid stood. The nadder's eyes followed her, but otherwise the dragon stayed still. She took a step towards the exit, but the dragon flicked her to the ground with its tail. "Ugh, why did you even bring me here?" The dragon cocked its head at her. Astrid was weaponless, and the dragon didn't want her to leave. All she could do was sit there and wait for something to happen.

"ASTRID!" The dragon perked up and looked towards the cave opening. There was the sound of running, though it was the thump clang from before. "ASTRID WHERE ARE YOU?" The dragon growled and curled around Astrid, causing the girl to tense up.

Hiccup made it to where Astrid and the dragon were. He froze when he saw the dragon curled around her. He noticed she was staring at him like she'd seen a ghost, that's when he remembered he'd lost his helmet. "Hiccup?"

"Astrid, stay calm, I'll explain this later." Hiccup held his hand out to the dragon, trying to keep it calm, and maybe tame it.

The dragon pulled Astrid away from Hiccup, "Go away. I have claimed this human as mine. Leave with the Night Fury, Dragon Rider. This doesn't concern you." He was surprised by the Nadder's actions, it was rare for dragons to claim humans as their own.

Toothless pushed Hiccup to the side and confronted the Nadder. "Give us back the girl, she is my human's mate. We mean you no harm, just release her and we will leave you be." Hiccup blushed and looked at Astrid, glad she couldn't understand the dragons' words. She looked confused, and a tad frightened, though he didn't blame her.

"I care not Night Fury, I have watched this human since she arrived on our island. I want her, she's strong and full of courage. You have that human, let me have this one." Toothless thought of something the Nadder might agree with.

"We'll let the girl decide who she goes with." The nadder cocked her head, thinking it over before nodding and releasing Astrid.

"What's going on?" Astrid looked to Hiccup for some sort of answer.

Hiccup gulped, hoping she would believe him. "You have to decide whether you leave with us or stay with the Nadder. She's become interested in you." Astrid looked at the Nadder behind her, then back at Hiccup. "There is another option Astrid, but you'd have to be willing to become a rider."

"A rider, as in I'd fly a dragon?" Hiccup nodded. Astrid was going to refuse, but she realized this was her only chance to get Hiccup to Berk. "Will you save Berk if I agree to become a rider?"

Hiccup knew he couldn't refuse, not when it he could teach someone to trust dragons like he did. "I will." Astrid smiled at her small victory. "Take your hand hold it out in front of the Nadder, then look away and let her warm up to you." Astrid took a deep breath and did as she was told. She was surprised when she felt the cool scales press against her hand. She looked back at the Nadder and felt a connection. "Now give her a name."

Only one thing seemed to fit the beautiful creature who had snatched her from the cliffs. "Stormfly." The dragon crooned as I approving the name. For a moment Astrid couldn't remember why she would ever hate such a beautiful creature.

"Now you need to ride her so we can fly to Berk." Astrid grew wary again, she remembered that dragons were the reason she was here to find the dragon man, who turned out to be the very not dead Hiccup. Astrid was sure Loki was laughing at her now. "She will keep you safe, just relax and trust in her. Climb on her back when you're ready to go."

Astrid still felt like she was being tricked, but climbed upon Stormfly without question. Hiccup planted himself on Toothless's saddle and the four were off. Astrid looked to him as the dragons flew out of the cave. He was right, Stormfly was very careful so to make sure her rider didn't fall.

In The Sky

Hiccup enjoyed the flight, it was strange sharing this with another human. Astrid was a fast learner, and seemed to easily maneuver Stormfly. He and toothless started out slow so they could watch the other two, but now they lead the way to Knife Point Island. Hiccup wanted to resupply before the long flight to Berk, and Astrid happily agreed. He learned she and Heather had become fast friends, and this didn't surprise him in the least.

They landed on the beach, near the cliff Astrid had climbed previously to reach Hiccup. He tensed at the thought of her bloody and bruised form falling forward towards the stone floor of the cave. He ended up throwing away the armor he'd had on because it was covered in her blood. The thought sickened him, it was his fault she'd been injured.

"Hiccup, earth to Hiccup." Astrid waved her hand in front of his face, finally gaining his attention. "Are you coming? We need to get the supplies, I'm worried about Berk." Hiccup nodded, snapping back to the problem at hand. Though he didn't want to go back to Berk, he couldn't go back on his word now. "I'm going to see Heather, I want to let her know I'm okay. Make sure you get the supplies and meet me there."

Hiccup agreed with this and the two made their way into town. The dragons were left to find their own food and rest while the humans were gone.

Astrid headed straight for Heather's house and knocked on the door. Rodrekr answered the door and smiled at her, "Heather's with Nikolai, why don't you go surprise her." Astrid laughed and headed up to Nikolai's room.

Astrid leaned against the door and watched her friend lay her son down for a nap. "Soon it won't be that easy, soon he'll know how to get out of bed."

"Yeah, but for now I'm glad to have the peace and quiet." Heather hummed then paused and turned around. "Astrid, you're back!" The black haired girl hugged her friend and almost woke Nikolai from his rest. "Let's go back downstairs." Astrid nodded. Once downstairs Heather began her barrage of questions "So did you meet the dragon man? Is he going to help you? Did you learn why he had a drawing of you? Did you punch him for leaving like he did?"

Astrid sat down, knowing she'd have to answer many more. The two chatted and Astrid filled Heather in on what happened, though she left out some details. They had been talking for an hour when a knock interrupted them, Astrid watched Heather answer the door, then proceed to punch Hiccup. "Hey what was that for?"

Heather allowed him inside and shut the door, "That's for ditching Astrid after she climbed the cliff to get to you." Then she hugged him. "That's for bringing her back in one piece." Heather sat down again and grinned up at Hiccup. "So I hear you're from Berk originally, well not just from Berk, but you and I are one of a kind, the chief heirs." She laughed at his shocked expression. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me."

Astrid knew they had to get going, flying may be quicker, but it would still be a long journey back to Berk. "Thank you for everything Heather, if you ever find yourself visiting Berk, let me know. I'll show you around my village." The two girls hugged before Astrid and Hiccup left. The dragons were waiting on the beach and were more than happy to fly again.

Hope you liked it.
