I don't own HTTYD, only my OC
Hello, sorry for not updating on almost or already a week, but you know that life happens and when it do, oh well... Now what have happened here while I was out? *Author search through the files and reviews*
*Facepalm* guys… I specifically said that when I annunciates the end of the contest was at chapter twelve and there was like even more votes after I annunciates the end of the competition, so in short, WHY EVERY SINGLE ONE DECIDED TO VOTE AFTER THE END OF THE CONTEST?
*Author has calmed down*
… … I totally said it- never mind, I'm getting sidetracked here, look since none of the girl reached the minimum requirement, I'll get winner myself, but I'll not just go and do like this: "hey everyone, I decided who is the winner. She is… *roll the drama drums*… (Fem!) Toothless!"
…
…
…
Honestly, you ALL, are up to a BIG, BIG, BIG! Surprise… I'll leave tips along the way for you to find by yourselves… but never I'll give a direct answer about who is the winner.
So without any more delays. HERE'S CHAPTER 13!
*END of AUTHOR'S NOTES BEFORE STORY SECTION*
Chapter 13: Something is wrong
Normal POV
Hiccup stayed for just a few minutes more, then when he had to leave Cole made his clothes looks like he fell from a cliff and rolled all his way down. When Hiccup arrived at the village, he made a beeline, staying out of anyone sight, straight to the forge.
Normally Gobber would just say to he was late and give him scold for doing so, but when the one legged Viking saw his apprentice's state. First something in his mind was telling him to scold the boy for being clumsy, but another part of him, a more of a father-like part, just came in crushing any resistance of his cold part.
" 'Iccup, lad 'hat just happen to ya?" the worry in his voice was noticeble
"nothing, j-j-just fell off a cliff and rolled down, nothing more, nothing great or exciting" Hiccup said trying to not stammer, but failing to do so
Gobber eyed him for second "'iccup, a don't know where ya went, but yaer looks says ya took quite a punch. 'as Snoutlout been troubling ya again?" Gobber asked knowing pretty much of his apprentice's cousin antic of beating those who were either too young or weak
Just at the thought of Sloutlout's behavior it brought back thoughts that Gobber rather either forget or use as fuel to his rage against the boy's father: Spitelout; that man wasn't even supposed to be part of the tribe anymore, not after everything he and his family have done to all their tribe mates, they always went for the weak and defenseless for the kill and would runaway from the strong instead.
"No, no, no I just went for a walk in the forest and slipped off a cliff's edge" Hiccup tried and showed the leaves and twigs that Cole placed on him so no one would suspect of anything
Gobber eyed his apprentice one last time before shrugging and going back to his work "ya need to be more careful though" Hiccup nod and went to do his job
Things were just getting back to normal with him, when Astrid came to the forge to get her axe sharpened. Hiccup was going to greet her when he noticed something was off with her; she looked like she didn't have any sleep and was stressed, not wanting to get with the wrong side of the girl, he just grabbed the axe and went to sharp it, not even try to look at her.
When Hiccup finished his day at the forge, he stayed a little bit more, to work on his journal, to get a talk with his mysterious friend 'sharphead' and to tell him/her what happened to him the day before.
Hey my mysterious friend, I guess you will have to endure me for a while now… you won't believe what happened to me yesterday, I meet a Einherjar, seriously a Einhaijar! Can you believe that? I almost , but he didn't look like any warrior I ever seen. Whenever I can go see him I will now, he is a nice guy and somewhat similar to me, don't know how, just know it. One day I hope I can see you in person, so we can talk and get to know each other better, until you answer me
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third
After finishing with his journal, Hiccup went back to close the shop and went home to leave his journal on his bed. When he arrived home, again to his luck, his father was there and again was not happy
"Hiccup, where were you this morning?" Stoick asked in a rather slight irritated tone
"I… went for a walk in the forest and slipped off a cliff's edge…" Hiccup said hesitantly
His father just sighed and shacked his head, before getting up with a look of rage "Hiccup, you have to pay more attention to where you're going, why is even that difficult to you?" his question took Hiccup off guard "honestly do I need to accompany you all the time so you won't trip in your own feet. You're already twelve you should be capable of walking without any trouble-"
Before he could continue, Hiccup ran straight to his room and locked the door with one of his contraptions, left the journal below his pillow and went out of the room through the window.
His father was looking to his room for a second with fury in his eyes when a strange green light that was reflecting in them disappeared and the look in his eyes went from rage filled to regret and worry
"… son… oh Valka what have done?" Stoick asked himself and his late wife while falling to his knees sobbing
Outside the Haddock house there was a stranger spying, with a hand raised murmuring something while a dark green fire burned on the palm of his hand
when Hiccup ran straight to his room, the stranger stopped Murmuring and the flame disappeared "Heh he he he he he he he... Never was this easy to bent a child's heart with pain... Now... To that girl's home..."
As the spellcaster started walking, his body becomes invisible allowing him to walk without being caught by the night guards. The strang man walks eyeing the entire village from top to bottom and whenever he saw a guard, he would laugh and mess with the villager's head then would go on leaving a man shaking in fear of a ghost or a demonic spirit
'how can they be so stupid? Well it doesn't matter' the invisible caster laughed to himself 'torturing them is even more exciting than fighting the duo brothers' with that last thought the smile left his face to be replaced by frown and an angered growl 'why those stupid good doers always have to be in my way?'
Without noticing he arrived at the house of a certain blond girl who was having difficulty with getting to sleep
Astrid rolled on her bed for about thirty minutes and wasn't getting any comfortable with Amy position 'why I can't sleep? Why do I keep feeling like I forgot something important?' those were at few questions that kept pestering her mind and something on the back of it was trying to tell her what she needed to do
Venom climbed the house frame and entered Astrid's room thanks to the open window
'now let's see why you are resisting my mind control spell...' Venom carefully moved closer to Astrid and placed a hand on her forehead casting a sleep spell on the warrior girl
Soon with her asleep, he began to re-cast his mind controling spell, soon he was with her mind encased in his spell
'How about I rewrite your memories, girl?' Venom mentally asked with a sickening grin on his face 'and how about you give something to pay for the trouble you gave me last time...'
Unconsciously last time, Astrid's mind and body resisted Venom's spell, giving him a few hit in the groin or a headache, though to him it was just a slight reflex reaction to things around her
Something pleasurable...' he moved his hand towards her chest binding while rewriting her memories, the first ones were the most recent ones
Astrid started seeing her soon to be erased memories passing through her eyes, when- "Hiccup..."
Somehow that made Venom's hands burn in a bright white fire, making his yelp in surprise and scream in pain
"Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" 'How is this even possible?!' Venom screamed even louder in his mind, before a tail emerged from his rear side with a blade at the end and cut both hands away
Soon his hands were consumed by the white fire but the wooden floor wasn't , Venom looked terrified at his arms, the burning of the flame was still there, then noticed that the moment she said the scrawny boy's name, his spell was undone and everything he had already erased came back intact, almost as if it was never erased in the first place, this send a wave of horror and pure and unnatural terror through his body
'... That... That was- but it can't be, she's a human!' Venom thought scared to the pit of his black soul '... The minimum I can at least do is make sure she doesn't try to get to talk with the scrawny boy again, but that will make her avoid Snout face as well, so no harm done to anyone, he he he he'
As soon as he thought of a spell strong enough to make sure the girl stayed away from Hiccup, Venom went away casting regeneration spells on his burned arms 'How can a human girl possess such a pure and natural Ancient Power like that? I must make sure she never discovers the power she holds or I will be annihalated'
Somewhere else in the the middle of the woods
Hiccup ran as fast as he could not looking back or stopping to look where he was going, until he stepped in a loosen rock near a cliff's edge. He fell inside a large cove with a small lake in the middle of it, a waterfall on the side and a small cave hidden near the cove's walls; Hiccup sat up and pulled his knees to his chest, hugging them, crying like he have the day before
'again… why? Why can't he just worry about me like a normal father? Why?' he thought while tears rained down from his eyes
"Hiccup?" someone called from afar
Hiccup reacted, jumping to his feet and trying to find somewhere to hide
"Hiccup!" now the voice sounded familiar, in a good way "where are you?!" It was Cole
Hiccup went out of his hiding spot inside the cave "I'm here! Down on a cove!" never he felt so safe and happy to hear the voice of a stranger in his life
Soon Cole jumped down from the edge of the cove and ran straight to Hiccup grabbing his shoulder "Are you alright? I saw you running from my house and thought something happened- did you fell? Did you broke anything…"
Cole kept asking questions about his well being and what happened to him, all that Hiccup could do was listen and feel his heart getting lighter with each question from the Einherjar
"…Hiccup… what… happened?" Cole asked hesitantly
Hiccup sighed, he could trust Cole, couldn't he? This man didn't knew him for more than a day and he was already worried about him, like he was his father and not Stoick-
This made his train of thoughts stop and rethink everything he lived in the village, how they treated him, how his own father neglected him and nobody would notice if he went missing, so should he ask this, what if he turns his back to him afterwards, what if he just laughed at his request, what if- no… he already had nothing so he would lose nothing by that, at least he hoped so
"Hey… Cole…" Hiccup said weakly, his voice trembling "if-if someone a-a-asked you to- I-I-I don't know, parent a kid of someone else…"
Cole added his, barely above a whisper, question with his situation around the village; with wide eyes, he realized what the young Viking was asking are you asking me to be your…"
With an hearable gulp he nod his head "c-c-could you be my… f-f-f-father…?"
The tension on the air was so thick, it could be fitted with a knife. Hiccup stood there anxious to hear what might be the answer; Cole on the other hand, simply couldn't think, he was completely petrified by the boy's question, but one thing allowed him to move again and with determination in his eyes, Cole gave his answer to Hiccup
