Astrid's POV
I was falling, expecting my new friend to catch me. I heard Hiccup call my name but by then it was too late. I was thrown into the gushing waters as it knocked out the breath from my lungs and the world around me fell into darkness.
A few days ago
Me and Hiccup were having a race and Fishlegs was recording our speeds. Suddenly Snotlout came into the arena flying on Hookfang, laughing. "You will not believe what I just found" he said. "A severed head?" "Our cousin Laars?" "Our cousin Laar's severed head" asked the Twins being the muttonheads they are. "Laars died?" Fishlegs interrupted in between and Tuffnut bickered along. "Excuse me do you want to see this or not?" Snotlout said interrupting the Twins' nonsense. We all took off to Thor's beach.
When we landed, we saw a shipwreck. "A wrecked boat on Berk, yeah there's something new" Tuffnut said sarcastically. Silently I did agree with him. "Just remember I saw it first so it's mine" said Snotlout. "Wow…... now I like the boat" Tuffnut said as we saw a shipwrecked girl. "Remember, I get to keep her" said Snotlout being the idiot he is. "Snotlout it's a person" I said trying to knock some sense into the thick skull of his. "I know right, how lucky is that" he said, all the more irritating me. Hiccup then reached forward to wake the girl. When the girl woke up, she was really startled before Hiccup tried to comfort her by saying "It's okay, we're friends". She coughed a little and asked for water. Snotlout, Tuffnut and even Fishlegs fought to give her the water. At last, with a small thank you, the girl took the water from Snotlout. "Where am I?" asked the girl, who looked about our age. "This is Berk" said Hiccup in welcoming tone.
Suddenly Toothless pushed through Hiccup to see the new human, startling the girl in the process. "Don't be afraid, he won't hurt you. Hey, come out it's okay" Hiccup said trying to comfort the scared girl. As she came out, she was surprised how Hiccup calmed Toothless down and asked "How did you do that?". "That! that's nothing. Watch this" Snotlout said trying to impress the new girl. "Hookfang get your butt over here!" he said to his dragon as the dragon flew away, obviously sick of his rider. "Hahaha he'll be back, jokester" said Snotlout trying to act cool. "Oh! just so you know I'm the one who rescued you" said Snotlout trying another one of his failed attempts to impress the girl.
Suddenly Hiccup spoke up "I would be Hiccup" he said introducing himself to her. "Heather" the new girl answered. "So, Heather what happened to you?" I asked out of curiosity. "My family and I were on our way to our island when our boat was attacked by pirates" said heather in a sad tone when Tuffnut interrupted her. "I wanna be a pirate" said Tuffnut as everyone shot glares at him. "Or a fish cleaner, still on the fence" he continued. "Ahem, you were saying" I said telling Heather to continue. "They attacked our boat and took us back to our island, laying seize to it. I was able to escape but my mother and father, they weren't so lucky" she said huffing sadly at the end. "Stupid pirates, I'm definitely gonna be a fish cleaner" said Tuffnut. "Hey everything is going to be okay, my dad's the chief. We'll figure something out" said Hiccup putting a hand on Heather's shoulder trying to comfort her. I saw them leave and decided to check the boat once, she wasn't really sure of the story Heather just told them. I went inside but wasn't able to find anything. So, I climbed on Stormfly as I saw the others take off. "Hey, don't forget we're meeting tomorrow to work on our times. Unless you want Stormfly to be the fastest one in the book of dragons" I said to Hiccup, who was siting on Toothless as Heather climbed on. "Yeah, that's definitely not gonna happen, we will be there. Okay?" he said looking back at the black-haired girl as we flew off leaving Snotlout. "Uh, can I get a ride from someone?" said Snotlout shouting for help.
