Haddock Household, with Zephyr and Hiccup

"YES FINALLY!" Zephyr yells pumping her hands in the air as her father chuckles.

It had been about 3 weeks since she spoke with her grandmother and 4 weeks, since she had talked to anyone outside her family, other than her Uncle Tuffnut for some odd reason. After he came to know about what happened, he had her rolling on the floor laughing... ok not rolling, but still laughing so hard she nearly choked.

She had finally mastered the art of getting on her wheelchair. It was a bumpy ride and some certain swear words were used but she eventually got into the chair and was able to move herself around with it.

With help from her father, she had successfully gotten down the stairs after... an hour or so?

Hey, at least she had gotten down without hurting herself or toppling over. With help from her parents of course.

"So, finally made it down in one piece." Hiccup says. Both Hiccup and Zeffy laugh at this

Zephyr hears the bustling sounds of the village from her home. Suddenly, she feels shy and insecure. What would everyone say? A thousand doubts and insecurities flow through her head. Hiccup places a hand on her shoulder and kneels to be at her height.

"Hey" He whispers softly "It's going to be okay sweetie."

"Dad. I'm scared. What if no one accepts me? What if they shun me? What if they laugh at me?" She babbles before being shushed by her dad.

"Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger and the person you'd take a bullet for, is the one behind the trigger." He states

Zephyr nods, slightly confused before wheeling out of the house. Her father had just indirectly predicted her future.

Her friends would stick through this injury right? Because that's what friends are for...


At the plaza of the village, near Stoick's statue

"Ohh." Erica stammered

"Oh wow. This is just..." Felecity said before shaking her head

Zephyr frowned her brows furrowing confused. Was that all they wanted to say?

"Oh dear." Mirabelle said tutting

Oh dear? OH DEAR?! She had just fallen off a damn cliff and may not be able to walk ever again and that's all they had to say? Oh dear?! Were they actually serious right now?

"Such a shame" Erica said

THAT'S IT. Zephyr was done with their pity. Is this what friends were for? Cause if so, she wanted to get out of this. She made that loud and clear at the center of the town.

"You know what?" 3 pairs of eyes looked down at her. She was tall so people usually had to look up but know everyone had to look down and the villagers treated her like a 4 year old kid.

"I'm done. I don't want to be friends anymore if that's all you guys have to say." She stated firmly much to the shock of her ex-gang

"W-w-what?" Felecity croaked out. "What do you mean you don't want to be friends?"

"Zeph what will your father say?" Erica stuttered

Ohhhhhhh. So that's what this was all about. All these years she counted on them and in the end they had just tagged around with her to be popular. Just because she was the daughter of one of the most famous chieftains of all time.

Her dad was indirectly right. These girls had been her support from when she was 5, but now?

Blinking back tears of shame and regret, she wheeled herself away from the prying eyes of the villagers who had gathered around, not even surprised that her 'friends' hadn't followed her. Just as she had gotten herself to her home, she heard a familiar voice.

"Zephyr?" The voice said

Zephyr turned her wheelchair almost in slow motion to see a face she had been trying to avoid for a while now.

"H-h-hey." Stuttered Hrithik


Dun-dun-dun! Slightly crappy, but that's cause I'm tired and sleepy and have no inspiration. Leave an idea for the next chapter in the reviews or PM me!

Until the next chapter, bye!
