I forgot to mention last time that it was based on disneyanimationfan's idea. So I'm saying it here, haha.

Enjoy the next one!

Entry 54

I woke this morning in the woods. I didn't even realize I stayed here all night… but I must have fallen asleep after finishing writing the last entry. Long story short, I ran all the way to the grove near Raven Point, and no one came looking. Not a single person. I would have thought at least Gobber would have searched for me but… nothing.

I honestly don't want to go back… but I know realistically I can't stay out here. That cut from my disastrous invention really hurts, and I'm pretty sure I'm dehydrated, based on the effort it's taking just to get up.

I just don't want to face them. I can handle my father, since I'm used to it, but… knowing that the entire village knows I'm responsible for the loss of our last provisions… I can't even imagine what they think of me. I've always been a disappointment, but this is a lot, even for me. I never thought I'd put my entire tribe's lives on the line like this. I NEVER wanted to do anything to hurt them. I wanted to HELP. Yet, I just can't seem to escape this curse of a life. Honestly, I'd be perfectly fine if the gods struck me down right now. At least then I couldn't do any more damage…

...I guess I should get going. I'll have to face them sooner or later. And I'd rather just get it over with. If they throw me out of the village, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

Well, I didn't get thrown out. But I also didn't really SEE anyone either. When I got to town, nobody was out. Every home, every business, was shut tight. When I got back home and opened the door, my dad was sitting at the table, poking at a pathetic plate of greens. He didn't even look up when I stepped inside, so I just took a cup of water and went upstairs, as silent as he.

Gods, I really screwed up. I just hope the winter doesn't last as long as usual; maybe then, we can all make it through this.

And maybe then, I won't feel like as much of a useless burden.

Until next time…

Just hang in there, man. Toothless will be there for you soon ;)
