The Vampire Secret Revealed
It was raining today.
Astrid didn't bother to give speeches to her friends who stalked her yesterday; she was just too happy to do it. Her family interrogated, just like Hackett predicted, at the exact moment when she entered the door. She was immediately got carried into the living room and they all firmly sat her down on a chair, making her butt hurt at the force.
Astrid just couldn't get that goofy smile on her face as she answered their rapid fire questions. It turned out that Hackett was a skillful artist. He always carried his journal book and wrote or drew anything between those leather covers.
Hackett had draw a lot in those leather books. Astrid admired a drawing of a rose. It beautiful to say at least and the story behind it was that it was his mother's favorite flower. So, Hackett drew it out to impress his mother.
Astrid was quite surprised to see a drawing of the Baron; it looked nearly exactly like the real Baron, with the top hat and all. Hackett said that he got all the detail from his mother's description and this was as close as he could get.
But Astrid loved the drawing of herself. She was smiling sweetly in the drawing as she had her head in her hands as her loose hair hung over her left shoulder. The drawing was incredibly detailed and very carefully and delicately drawn.
She was gorgeous in the drawing.
Hackett shyly stated that he had been admiring her since she had entered the café for the first time and he fell for her since they became friends. The drawing of her took him the longest time to complete. He said that it was beautiful but nothing more gorgeous than the real one.
They shared a passionate kiss after that, fully aware of their stalkers but ignored them, and then they took a nap as Hackett's heartbeat lulled Astrid into slumber.
When Astrid arrived at school the next day, she was immediately got pounced by none other than Heather Johnson the Werewolf. She commented that she hadn't seen Astrid this soft and sappy before. She was squealing that her friend was now different, in a good way.
Tuffnut certainly didn't enjoy the stalking as same as Fishlegs. Though, he did admit that his pants were slightly wet after watching the movie.
Fishlegs enjoyed the food he bought during the stalking. He brought a fish, an ice cream, a fish, a bag of popcorn, a fish, another bag of popcorn, a fish, three more bags of popcorns, a fish, and last but not least, a fish.
But out of all the food he bought, there's one food he had been craving for, one food he really loved, one food he had been longing for, and a food he was named after. It was a fish.
Ruffnut confessed that she brought the other guys to stalk Astrid's date with Hackett. She can't stop teasing Astrid about the kiss she had with Hackett shared yesterday. And Ruffnut seemed to be taking down notes about the date yesterday. She said she will do the same when she gone out a date with Eret.
Like that would happen…
Anyway, like in the earlier statement, it was raining today, heavily.
The road was very slippery, making it difficult for the cars to stop. Even some of the people passing by got slipped by the slippery ground. It was proven to be a challenge for Astrid since she ran to school. Well… sliding to be more precise.
Astrid was currently standing at the door of the entrance of the school. She was waiting for Hackett. He was a little bit late than usual today; he had never been late. She tried not to think about the worse things happened to him as she stood their anxiously.
She smiled in relief when a familiar pickup truck rolled down the parking lot. Hackett parked his pickup quite a distant away since the ones that closer to the door entrance were full.
Astrid could see Hackett wore a dark green jacket to fight over the raining and somewhat chilling wind. Hackett held onto his satchel as he clutched onto his jacket and locked his transport. He jogged to the entrance door and managed to give a smile to Astrid, who smiled back.
Suddenly, during his jog his prosthetic leg slipped, causing him to fall onto his butt. His books scattered onto the roads, soaking them by the rain. Hackett groaned at the pain and then made a move to gather back his scattered books.
Before Astrid could move from her spot, she heard a loud frantic honking.
"Get out of the way!" they heard a panicked shout.
Turning toward the speaker, a van was skidding along the road, losing control. It approached Hackett in a high speed as the driver frantically waved Hackett away from the road. But the van was just too fast; Hackett couldn't move fast enough at that speed.
Astrid wasn't even thinking that time. She was soaked wet as she sprinted towards Hackett and pushed him away from the incoming van, making both of them escaped from getting hit.
Her eyes were shut tight as she held Hackett close. Her head was pressed onto his chest as his breaths were short. She tightened her embrace for reassurance, ignoring the raining.
Hackett were stunned when he gazed at the upcoming van but suddenly surprised when Astrid pushed him away with a tremendous amount of speed and force. He shut his eyes tight as he held Astrid close, feared for his and her life. When he opened his eyes, he realized something.
"Astrid?" he spoke, bewildered. Astrid tightened her embrace a bit before she looked up to his face. She sighed in relief when she knew he was alive and well, but she was confused on why he looked so bewildered.
"What?" she asked. When he didn't look at her direction, she turned around to look at what he was looking. She froze in horror.
The place where the books were scattered, where Hackett slipped, was far away; much farther then were Hackett parked his pickup truck.
Astrid was using her Vampire strength to get to Hackett before the van does. The momentum of her speed made the couple skidded across the road a long distant away. It was a lot further than normal people would have.
Astrid wasn't even thinking that time; she just reacted on instinct to save Hackett. She was just too scared to lose Hackett.
She slowly turned toward Hackett who had questions and confusions in his eyes as he looked back at her. Astrid was trembling, not because of the cold from the rain, but because of fear loosing Hackett in a much worse situation.
"How?" he asked in a low voice.
"How, you said? I pushed you away. That's how," Astrid tried to sound casual, trying her best to hide the tremor in her tone as she forcefully smiled. She was praying that Hackett would not found out that she was a Vampire.
"Not that how," Hackett spoke back, still in the low voice. "How did you manage to catch up? We both know that you're not fast enough"
"What? I'm one of the best athletes in school, Hackett. I'm able to catch up to you," she tried to smile. She was praying, hoping that he brought the story. Her hands were clenching onto the front of his jacket as his arms were froze around her.
Hackett shook his head.
"No, you're not that fast, Astrid. And judging by how far we are from the place, you're be superhumanly fast," he stated.
Astrid's smiled disappeared, knowing that Hackett didn't buy the story. Her body visibly trembled as she turned away from him. It looked like she had to tell him the truth.
"You'll hate me if I tell you," Astrid whispered, still turning away from him.
"I will never hate you, Milady," he whispered back. She stubbornly shook her head.
"No, you will definitely hate me after this," she spoke back, still refused to look into his eyes.
"Astrid, Milady," Hackett delicately grabbed her face to turn it to him. She was crying; it was very hard to tell because of the rain but she was crying nonetheless. It was a very rare thing for her to do, making Hackett panicked. "Hey, don't cry," he wiped away the tears and held her even closer.
Astrid savored the moment before the big confession. This moment could be the last moment for her before he eventually push her away.
"Hackett," she whispered into his shoulder, ignoring the water raining on them or the fact that they were in the middle of the road. "I have a confession to make," she tightened the embrace.
"But I thought you already confessed to me," Hackett tried to joke to lift up the mood. Astrid shook her head against his shoulder. She took a deep breath for encouragement.
"I'm not a human," she whispered and shut her eyes tight.
"Um, I'm pretty sure that you're a human in my eyes, Astrid," she shook her head again.
"I'm not a normal human, Hackett," she whispered again. "I'm a Vampire," she held her breath, scared.
"A vampire," Hackett said flatly. "You mean like the one that human that look deathly pale and shine under the sunlight?"
"Not those kind of Vampires in the movie, Hackett. I'm a Vampire; a real Vampire and I'm not lying," she buried her face into his shoulder, afraid of what he might do.
"I'm not quite believes in you, Astrid. You're too beautiful to be a Vampire," Hackett blankly replied. Astrid sighed, knowing his stubbornness, and she also blushed at the compliment. She pulled back and stared into his green eyes. Hackett could see fear in her blue eyes.
Astrid slowly opened her mouth. Hackett's eyes slowly widened as her canines slowly lengthened and sharpened in front of him. Astrid licked the tip of the sharpened teeth, showing him that they were real. The canines then retracted to normal size and she closed her mouth as she looked away.
"You already noticed how I managed to catch up to you before the van does. I was using my true speed to push you away. I'm a Vampire, Hackett, can't you see? But it's still me!" she looked at him with pleading eyes.
"I'm still the Astrid Hofferson you met months ago at the café. I'm still the same person who you admired since that day. I'm still your best friend, Hackett," her lips were trembling, pleading.
"I still love you, Hackett," she pleaded as she sobbed; tears shamelessly ran down her face. "I kept my real identity a secret because I couldn't bear to lose you; I just love you too much, Hackett. For one hundred and eighty years I live, I've never met a person better than you"
The Cat Lord excluded.
"I know you'll probably hate me because I'm a blood sucking creature that hunts for blood, Hackett. But I'm telling you that I'm still the same girl you had been for the past months, the same girl you fell in love and fell in love you back. I'm still- hmm!"
Similar like her first confession, Astrid yelped in surprise when something soft and warm was pressing onto her lips. Astrid's eyes were wide in shock as her body went rigid and her breath caught up onto her throat.
Hiccup slowly pulled away and placed his forehead onto hers, staring lovingly into her eyes.
"Astrid," he whispered as bewilderment appeared on Astrid's face. "You're rambling," he added as he pulled the girl into his embrace, his forehead still touching hers as they sat there on the hard road, still soaked by rain.
"You may be a Vampire, Astrid," he whispered, rubbing his nose with her. "But you're my kind of Vampire, Milady," he kissed her yet again. Her eyes widened.
'Does he mean that…?' Astrid thought, hoping what she thought he meant.
"I still love you, Astrid," he whispered into her lips.
Astrid's chest lightened drastically as she closed her eyes and kissed him back as passionate as possible. Her heart swelled with love as she cried in happiness.
'He still love me'
She maneuvered his bottom lips to her mouth and sucked and chewed on it earning her a loving moan.
'He love me because of who I am'
She licked his swollen bottom lip, asking for an entrance. But he didn't give her the access.
'He doesn't care that I'm a Vampire. He still love me as much as I love him'
She began to whimper. She licked his swollen bottom lip again, twice this time. She was begging him for an entrance. This time he opened his mouth to give her access.
'You're too good for me, Hackett'
She shoved her tongue into his mouth and tangled with his tongue. She lovingly moaned into his mouth as she deepened the kiss.
Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Fishlegs and Heather watched at the entrance as the couple lost in their make out session. Even under the chilling rain, it can't stop the two from making love with each other.
"Let's tell the teacher the couple will be absent for today," Ruffnut stated as she and the others went to their specific class.
Those two may get cold from the rain, anyway. At least they'll have it together.
"When you find love, you don't care of how different they are. You love them for how different they are."
