I got this idea from some fan art but it is kinda rushed. If you do not pay attention to the point of view change you will be absolutely lost. For the people who actually read this I thank you very very much. Hope you don't hate it!

Hiccup POV

We had exchanged the betrothal gifts two weeks before and it had been amazing between Astrid and I. That was until she started acting weird. She barely ate, and was getting mad at Snotlout and the twins more often than normal, hardly talked to anyone, and was spending way more time than normal ax throwing.

I walked out into the empty patch in the forest where Astrid usually practiced. I looked closely at her face, she had silent tears going down her face. She was about to throw her ax until she saw me "A-a-strid?", the ax ended up in a tree. She quickly wiped away the tears, "Um, hey Hiccup! What are you doing out here?" She put on a big smile,and it might have been able to fool anyone else but not me. "I wanted to check on you, you have been a little off today." I reached a hand out on her shoulder but she stepped back. "Well, I-I-I'm fine so no need to worry." She patted my shoulder and went to go pull her ax from the tree, but before she could I pulled her to me her lips to mine. She was surprised but pulled in too, putting her hands around my neck while I hugged her waist. It was as if I could feel some of the emotions she had been carrying on her shoulder fall on to mine, and I was glad to carry it for her. When we pulled apart I looked into those lovely eyes where I usually saw a fire I only saw dark depressing skies.

Her cheeks turned red then tears started pouring down her beautiful face. I pulled her head into my shoulder with one hand and the other went under her arm and hugged her waist.

I just stood there holding her hoping she would tell me what was wrong. When it seemed the crying had died down enough I pushed her less than an arms length away, "Astrid talk to me please." I took my thumb to wipe away some tears.

"They're gone. Hiccup."

Astrid POV

Two days since I received the news.

Two days since my life had been ruined.

Two days since it seemed my life ended.

My parents were dead. I didn't know how or if I should tell the gang much less what to tell Hiccup, in fact I had been surprised that his father hadn't told him.

We walked to a nearby log to sit down. "Tell me what happened." He asked.

"My parent's boat came back from a fishing expedition," I paused, "and their bodies were found branded with the mark of the hunters." I wanted to start crying again but wiped away the tears.

Hiccup grabbed my hand in his, "Astrid, why didn't you tell me anything?"

''I didn't know what to say?I didn't want to bother you?" I said totally unsure. He looked at me with such compassion I swore he could read my thoughts. A small sad smile crept up his face, "Astrid, the only thing that was bothering me was that you didn't talk to me." He pulled me in for another hug, I muffled a "I'm sorry" into his shoulders.

Hiccup POV

It started to get dark by the time we finally got back. We had to walk back to the edge because we let our dragons stay at The Edge. We walked up to the clubhouse to eat and everyone's heads turned. "Where have you two been?" Fishlegs asked.

3rd POV

"I was helping Astrid with target practice." Hiccup was so smooth with his words it scared Astrid a bit. She gave him a grateful look that no one else noticed because they had gone back to whatever they were doing before. Thank you, she mouthed. Later Hiccup walked Astrid back to her hut and wished her good night.

Hiccup POV

The next day

Toothless and I were about to go to the clubhouse for breakfast when a blue and green terror came in with a scroll that the Berk seal on it. I sighed, already knowing what it was about,

Dear Hiccup,

I believe this letter will reach you after Astrid finds out, but both of her parents are dead. The were out on a week long fishing trip, then one day the ship showed up at the beach and their bodies were found each branded with the mark of the hunters on their cheeks. The funeral will be this week and Astrid will be performing the viking funeral rights.

Son, I beg you to not act quickly against the hunters. They will get what is coming to them, but not now.

-Chief of the Harry Hooligans

I didn't understand why he signed his letters to his son like that, but he was right. I had been so worried about Astrid that I hadn't even thought about the Hunters.

Toothless and I went to the clubhouse assuming Astrid was already there. When I walked in Snotlout and the Twins were eating while Fishlegs was in the corner reading with Meatlug. I walked over to Fishlegs not feeling particularly hungry and tapped on his book, "Hey, have you seen Astrid?"

"I think she went to the stables." He then went back to his book. I got a little worried I loved Astrid but she could let her emotions get the better of her sometimes. I immediately got on Toothless too fly to the stables.

We landed to find Astrid saddling up Stormfly. "Hey Ast-"

"No I'm not going after the Hunters, if that's what your thinking." She interrupted.

"Then where are you going?" I asked already knowing the answer.

She sighed, " Back to Berk," she paused, " for the funeral, and I was hoping you would come with me?" She looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"Of course, just let me tell the Gang we are going to be gone for a bit."

Third POV

" And bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla." Astrid finished by shooting her burnin arrow at the ship with her parents bodies on them. Everyone else shot their arrows and turned away sorrowful, but not Astrid. She continued to stare at the fire on the sea until Hiccup put a gentle hand on her shoulder, "At least I have you." She whispered at only a level Hiccup could hear. His hand went to her waist while her head leaned on his shoulder, "There will always be a Hiccup and Astrid." Hiccup said not knowing how amazing that really made her feel.

They had slept on Berk and flew before the sunrise. They had gotten back pretty early so everyone was asleep, meaning they had the edge mostly to themselves. "You okay?" Hiccup asked. "Yeah, I think I'll be okay. " Then they shared sweet but short kiss.

Okay, so I had no idea how to finish this, maybe i'll make a part two?(If anyone likes it, or if I just want too.) I saw some fan art and that inspired me to write this, and it is a little rushed because I will be gone for a few days and wanted to post this before I left. FYI I procrastinate A LOT
