Chapter 7
Hiccup's P.O.V.
"Hiccup!" someone called. "Hiccup, are you listening?" my mom asked me. What was she saying? "I think I need to repeat what I said, don't I. Well, tomorrow, I'm taking Orion somewhere, would you like to join us Hiccup?" Mom asked. I nod my head eagerly. Mom whispered something to Orion. Orion was holding in a laugh. "Orion, why don't you sit next to Hiccup." Mom said. What? No, no, no! I'm gonna make a fool out of myself. Orion looked at me and gave me a small smile. I couldn't help, but return it. I looked over at her dad and stopped smiling. I could see he wasn't approving. But there was something more in the look. I just couldn't figure out what.
Next Day
Orion's P.O.V.
I woke up to something licking my face. I open my eyes and find Shai staring at me with her big blue eyes. I laugh. "Good morning to you to." I say. Shai rummages through my clothes. She takes out a brown dress which was short enough to be a shirt and skirt put together. Then she pulled out a light brown fur vest which was stopped above my waist. I grab the clothes and put it on. Then I put my black leggings on. I start to look for my boots. Shai then pulls them out from their hiding place. I take them from her and put them on. Then I grab the braces I have for my arm. It starts at my wrists and ends a little before my elbows. I tighten them on my arm. I put my hair into a side braid. "Come on Shai! Lets go." I say to Shai. Since there were no activities for the dragon race, I could have a free day. When I was walking through the village, I got a few stares. I role my eyes. Astrid is walking towards me. Here we go again. "Good morning Orion." she says with the sweetest voice ever. She walks by me. In the process of doing so, she accidentally knocks me over. "Oh, I'm so sorry." she says with that voice again. I glare at her. I then notice that she's holding her ax. My eyes widen.
Flashback
"Welcome to Cresedjra." my dad said to the visiting family from Berk. "Orion, why don't you show Astrid around." my dad said. I looked at the girl who was supposedly Astrid. She looked eleven, the same age as me. "Come on." I say and start walking. Astrid follows me. She keeps giving me the stink eye. She keeps holding her ax. After I showed her around for a bit, we decided to walk to the forest. That's where she starts to attack me. She keeps on swinging her ax at me which I easily dodge. "What are you doing?" I ask. "You're no one! You're nothing! I won't let you take Hiccup away from me!" she said. "Who's Hiccup?" I ask. "Like you don't know!" she replied. Then she hit me with the flat side of the ax on my head. That's when I blacked out.
End Flashback
I looked up at her. Astrid holds her hand out. I grab it. She pulls me up. She walks away. What was that about?
