-Third person POV-
Anastasia ran into the woods with the wind still blowing around her. She whimpered as the fear inside her grew making the storm worsen. Anastasia felt her heart beat picked up speed as she ran faster. While Swift travelled underground to avoid the storm and also to follow her friend.
"I'm sorry, Hiccup" she whispered to herself as branches cut her face and legs as she ran away from Berk. She didn't want to hurt anyone and she didn't want them to hurt her. Anastasia foot got caught on an old tree root and she stumbled down a grassy hill. Her body got jabbed by rocks as she fell. She soon came to a stop coughing violently.
"Ow" she muttered while she rubbed her aching neck. The red head scans her surroundings as sat up on the ground. She had landed in rocky area in the middle of the woods. The trees here are tall and old and the grass was dying. The lost girl took a few deep breaths as she tries to collect herself. By doing so the storm that surrounded her started to die down, but then she heard a tree branch snapped behind her and the storm came back. She felt scared as she stood up.
"Whoever you are stay away! You're not safe around me!" she shouted as she backed up unknowingly to a cliff where the water waves crashed against the cliff below. But the person had not heeded her wrong and she walk back closer to the edge. She took a step back to feel nothing to place her feet on to support her. Anastasia had finally realized the cliff and screamed out in fear. The water waves grew bigger and stronger and the wind picks up. Anastasia stretched her arms out to keep her balance, but wind gush out her palms and the water rise higher. The girl lost her footing and nearly fell back.
"ANASTASIA!" Shouted a voice, but it was too late. Anastasia lost complete grip of the cliff and fell back. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion as she did. Anastasia breathing came to a halt as her heart beat slows down. Her eyes swelled up with tears as she clenches her teeth. Then everything went back into motion and the wind from the fall blew around her violently. The storm around her had expanded as she fell down to the crashing waters. Anastasia didn't want to go out like this not after she just stared to living! She wanted to live! She so badly wanted to! The red head closed her eyes tightly wishing for herself to stop falling. She wanted to stop!
"STOP!" she shouted with desperation in her voice.
"STOP, STOP, STOPPP!" she said louder as she cried to herself. She then came to a halt.
The small girl felt her body came to a quick stop and she slowly open her eyes to see she is a few inches away from the water that seem to settle down. She blinked her eyes quickly confused at what is happening. She hovered over the water slightly and the storm has gone away. Anastasia took a deep breath and managed to lower herself and focus on her feet to stand on the water. She noticed that she is very far from land and squeaks. She never has been this far out in water. She smiles to herself and prances around happily; she had survived!
"Anastasia?" a voice called out to her quietly. The red head turned around slowly and smiles.
-Hiccup POV-
I watched Anastasia run out the arena with the storm surrounding her as she left. I hissed in pain and limped over to Toothless and got on his back. Swift had drilled herself underground after Anastasia.
"What the heck was that Hiccup!?" shouted Fishlegs as he came out of hiding. Ruff, Tuff and Snotlout looked shocked at what just happen to Astrid and me. But I didn't answer his question and took off into the sky after Anastasia.
We flew up in the sky over the woods where Anastasia had run off into. I scanned the area as I looked for the girl. Soon found her in lying on the floor in the middle of rocks and dead grass. I sigh in relief that we found her safe and that she didn't fall from the cliff behind her.
"Ok, bud let land in the woods so we don't scare her off to bad" I told him as he nodded. Toothless whips down into the woods and lands carefully. I got off of him warily, not trying to hurt myself more than what I already am. I just watched Anastasia from the shadows not wanting her to get startled. She probably needs sometime to herself to calm down. I watch as she relaxes and the storm that surrounded her die down, but then Toothless shifted on the ground to sit down, but snapped on a few branches making Anastasia frighten. She stares in our general direction walking backwards slowly as her eyes dilated with fear.
"Whoever you are stay away! You're not safe around me!" she cried as her voice trembled slightly. I put my hands up in the air to show I was harmless as I slowly walked out the woods cautiously. But the closer I got the closer she got to the edge of the cliff. I stopped in my place as I open my mouth to speak, but Anastasia screamed out in fear.
"No!" I whispered. Anastasia tries to catch her balance, but things got worse! I ran out the shadows ignoring the pain. But it was too late. She had fallen back.
"ANASTASIA!" I shouted as I reached the edge, but I missed her. The storm worsens as the wind blew harshly, the clouds grew dark and the ocean water crashed aggressively. Swift comes out from the ground and goes after Anastasia, but the wind is to powerful it blew her back. I got ready to dive after her, but something caught onto my shirt. I turn to see Toothless biting down on my green shirt.
"Toothless let go!" I shouted angrily as I try to pull away from her. The Night Fury shook his head and held tighter.
"Tooth-!"
"STOP, STOP, STOPPP!" I was stop when I heard Anastasia scream. Then everything stopped. The wind, the crashing wave and the storm that surround this area all stopped just like that. I looked at the dragons in confusion.
What just happen?
Swift wasted no time to fly down to Anastasia. I did the same and got on Toothless who followed after the Whispering Death. What I saw made me smile. Anastasia stood on the water dancing around as she giggles.
"Anastasia?" I call out to her. Said girl stops and slowly turns around to me. Her eyes brighten up and smiles widely.
"I-I'm alive!" she shouted as she stumbled over her words. I nodded as I took a deep breath and released it.
"Yes, yes you are" I said softly as I ran my hands through my hair still trying to calm myself down.
Anastasia got on Swift and we flew back to Berk and settle at the beach. The ride there was quiet between us and I couldn't stop thinking what would of happen if I had lost her. I look back at Anastasia who only look ahead and petted Swift's head. I slowly got off of Toothless and approached Anastasia who just got off of Swift. I towered over her as we stood in front of each other. Anastasia seem nervous as she fiddles with her fingers.
"I-I'm sorry-"
I cut her off by gripping her shoulders and pulling her to a tight hug. Anastasia seems to be taken by surprise at this, but nevertheless hugs back.
-Third person POV-
The two stood there in the middle of the beach hugging. The beach breeze blew gently around them as they embraced each other. Hiccup took a deep breath and places a hand on her lower back pulling her closer.
"I…I thought I lost you" he whispered to her softly. This caught the girl attention.
"I got so worried…I thought you weren't going to make it…" he said again with a shaky tone. Anastasia eyes stings with tears as she gripped Hiccup's shirt tightly. She didn't mean to worry him! The last thing she wanted was to upset him. Hiccup stood up tall lifting Anastasia 4 inches off the ground making the boy chuckle.
"You're so little" he commented trying to sound serious, but couldn't. This made Anastasia laugh as tears streamed down her eyes. She never had anyone care for her this way. Her family hardly ever spoke to her so having someone actually worry about your safety felt pretty damn good.
"S-shut up" she said weakly. Hiccup pulls back and placed her down on the sand. He cupped Anastasia cheeks and wiped her tears with her thumb.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry" he cooed softly to her. The smaller girl shook her head as she nestled her face into his left hand.
"It's ok. I'm sorry for making you so worried" She whispered making the taller boy smile. Hiccup leans down and kissed the corner of her lip making the colored girl blush.
"It's ok. Next time don't run into the woods where there a cliff" he teased making her giggle.
"Promise! Just as long as you promise to catch me if I fall" she said back and hugged him tightly. Hiccup smiles and lifts her up and twirls her around making the girl laugh.
"Promise!"
Anastasia and Hiccup relaxed at the beach and Anastasia explained to him how she felt when the whole fiasco went down. The older male decided it was time for her to practices her 'magic' as he called it making the girl roll her eyes. But she did so. She played with the water focusing on making shapes, movements and splashes. She then went on to wind. This one was tricky, but she made swift movements with her hands as she hummed concentrating on the element. She only managed to make a ball of wind in the palm of her hands, but it only lasted ten seconds before disappearing. She sighs and undid her head piece letting her hair down that reach under her breast as she grunts in annoyance.
"This is hard!" she groans as she sits next to Hiccup. The older boy chuckles and wrapped his arms around her shoulder and pulled her close to him.
"Neither was training Toothless, but look at us now!" he gestured to his best friend who wagged his tail. Swift grunts as she hisses at the Night Fury. Toothless stop wagging his tail and stares at Swift with a blank stare making the couple laugh lightly. Anastasia sighs as she nodded.
"I guess, but still" she whined.
"No, buts. You can do it, I believe in you" he coos to her as he kissed her temple. The colored girl looks away with a blush as she crossed her arms.
"Fineeeee"
Hiccup smirks and lays her head on his shoulders and lays his on hers as they watched the sunset. Not noticing a figure watching them from above.
…..
For those who don't know Night Fury's and Whispering Death don't really get along.
