Hiccup Haddock...
I swear, if you EVER scare me like this again, I will personally kill you. You have no right to make me worry like this.
Sorry, I just had to get that out of the way… It's Astrid, if you didn't guess already. And I don't know what to say to you…
I'm still very confused about all this. You've been driving me absolutely crazy the past couple months. I was the only one who rode back to Berk with you, and it was pretty scary… I thought you were going to die, if I'm totally honest. I saw you and Toothless fall… I didn't think you made it past THAT, let alone losing a leg. Don't tell your dad, but I was really worried. I even visited a few times, in those first couple weeks… one time when you were alone. I hope you're not mad.
Who am I kidding? Of course you're not mad. I know you liked me, a couple years ago. And… I feel like that never changed. Don't think that means I like you too! I just… am thinking about it. You're okay, I guess… augh, this is all so confusing.
Forget I said any of that. It means nothing.
But also… please wake up soon. I want to talk to you again. And punch you. And maybe kiss you.
...Forget I said that too.
Just get better, alright? I want to introduce you to my Deadly Nadder, Stormfly. She's beautiful, but super strong. I already love her so much… I think I finally understand how you felt- feel- about Toothless. And, I don't know, I want to return the favor. Maybe take you on a flight with her, like you did for me...
Don't die,
Astrid
