Yes, for the first time Astrid 'Fearless' Hofferson felt fear. Truth be told, this was not the first time Astrid had felt fear. Truth was that Astrid constantly lived in fear. The fear of being judged, fear of being left behind in the dust or being like Hayden was, a virus in society. /p

His intentions for them were, Let's say not cruel but Monstrous. His thoughts then wondered of to Stoick. His father. The man who made him to be who he was to that day. He remember the pain and the suffering that only went worse once his sister was shot by Stoick in cold blood. His mind went to Astrid who's cries and slowly died down into whimpers./p

No one is going to hurt you. Hiccup reassured as he placed a kiss on her forehead. Her breathes became normal as footsteps were heard coming towards them. Hayden whipped out his pistol as he aimed it to the entrance as he held Astrid behind him, acting like a human shield./p

Hiccup sassed back as they both started laughing. Heather walked over to Astrid, placing a comforting hand over her shoulder as they all got up and made their way out of the passage ways and into the record room again. As they got out they saw a man examining the body of the late record lady./p

Hayden replied walking of to the kitchen. I couldn't help but laugh. As I looked around I saw some pictures on his wall. As I came closer to them I realised what they were. They were memories! I saw a picture of Hayden's 3rd birthday and another one of his second and first one. Then I saw one that broke my heart. It was his 5th Birthday. Now Snotlout, the twins and Fishlegs were out not there and it was just me and him. Then it was his 6th Birthday. Now only him and his dad were in the picture. His goofy smile wasn't there anymore and was replaced with an emotionless figure. Then there was a picture of his 7th birthday. There now Stoick was not in the picture and Just Hiccup stood there. The thing that made some tears fall from my eyes was that there was nothing there. Now party hat or cake and there weren't any presents. Now I realised how much pain we all caused him. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. /p
