Hiccup woke with the feeling of a few cold drops of water splashing on his nose. He opened his eyes and wiggled his nose before yawning. As he yawned, he stretched his arms and back out, but quickly retracted back to his previous position; cuddled against Trinity. He pursed his lips and tightened his face at the pain, but soon relaxed once more. He looked up to find that it had been drizzling, and a much more violent storm rolling inward at a moderate rate in the horizon. He came to the realization that they had to leave, and soon. The little tent that they found refuge in would definitely not withstand the intensity of the rain and velocity of the wind. Trin opened her eyes when Hiccup moved
"What's wro-" she looked at the sky "Of course." she deadpanned. The dark clouds were flashing in themselves already, and she shuddered at the thought of lightning "That looks like a bad one…" she held onto Hiccup.
He looked up at her.
"We gotta get out of here.."
"definitely." She looked at him, worried. "How though?"
"We have to ride toothless home. I'll be okay…besides, that storm's gonna bring in waves. Big waves. Waves that will massacre this entire beach area. I'd rather be back at Berk than in the forest with that…thing.." Hiccup said, wincing a bit as he tried to sit up.
She nodded and helped him up, she grabbed his shirt and vest handing them to him while slipping on her tank top.
"If you're sure you can make it" Thunder rumbled in the distance and she looked back at the forest " I don't want to be stuck with that thing either…"
Hiccup shrugged. "Can't promise much, but we don't really have much of a choice..I'm the only one who can fly him."
She frowned slightly.
"Yeah, Maybe when we're back home, and healed we should fix that. Lest something like this happen again." she looked at Toothless "You ready?" Toothless dipped his head near the ground, never taking his eyes off her.
"He's ready.." Hiccup said. He began to walk onto his head. "C'mon, we can't waste time."
Trin climbed on behind Hiccup.
"Ready when you guys are." She shuddered when there was another flash in the sky.
Hiccup winced as she wrapped her arms around his waist. He took a deep breath, and shifted his foot into gear. Toothless took off quickly, making Trin and Hiccup lean back from the wind's velocity. Hiccup held his breath and shut his eyes as the pain in his torso grew stronger, like a fire being fed dry hay. He exhaled painfully loud when Toothless's height and speed leveled, causing some of the pain to go away.
Trinity bit her lip when her stomach connected with his back.
"O-okay…" She sighed as they leveled out " Sorry, Hiccup." she apologized when she realized her arms were wrapped around him tightly.
Hiccup let out a pained groan before answering.
"It-it's okay. Promise." He said as they slowly flew away from the island and the storm.
she loosened her hold on him as the kept flying. Rain kept coming down on the three of them, and there was low visibility, but they were close to home.
Toothless landed on the docks, where Hiccup's suitcase was. When he picked it up and looked around, mist was EVERYWHERE. He couldn't even see his hand in front of him.
"T-trinity..? Toothless? Where are you guys?!" He yelled out into the air.
Trin felt around for her bag, when she found it she dug into the bottom hoping it didn't get to wet with the rain. She found a flare stick and a match in her bag. she tried to light the match hoping it wasn't wet. she lit the flare and called back to Hiccup
"I'm over here!" she waved the light and carefully took a few steps, now with the little bit she could see. He turned around and saw a dim red light on the other side of the beach. How the hell did he get so far away?
"Stay there Trin! I'm coming!" She immediately stopped moving when she heard his voice.
"Okay!" she stood there patiently waiting for him till she heard something. Her senses went into over drive, what scared her was the fact she couldn't feel whatever was around's aura. "H-Hiccup, hurry…" Hiccup sprinted for her. When he got to her, he fell to her knees and embraced her tightly.
"It's okay, I'll protect you.." He reassured her. "You have any more flares?" She put her free hand around him before nodding
"Here, hold this please." she felt skiddish as she looked through her bag for one of the other flares, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching them. A quick gust of wind blew at Hiccup and Trinity at that moment with her hand in her bag. Hiccup bent his knees and looked around him frantically.
"Uhhh Trin, you might wanna find those other flares right about now…" He said, his voice trembling and shaky.
