Astrid's POV
HOW CAN THAT RUNT OF A VIKING WIN AND NOT ME? HOW?! I walk behind the teens who carry Hiccup, watching the Vikings celebrate. Me on the other hand? I'm not in the mood of celebrating. Fishlegs drops him of by the chieftain's house and I watch as Hiccup walks in the heavy wooden doors in a rush. What is he doing? I snap out of my deep thoughts as I hear someone yell my name. Behind me is Gobber along with my friends. I walk over to them to see what is up.
"Stoick want you to find out why Hiccup spends so much time in the woods. Try not to be seen," Gobber explained. We nodded in agreement, sitting by a rock to wait for Hiccup come out of his house. I see his back door open, and he runs out, looking around him before sprinting off.
"There!" I yell, gripping the axe handle tighter and follow him with my friends behind me. We hide behind rocks, trees and bushes, without being seen. Hiccup is holding a basket with what smells like fish in it. After following him, we end up in front of the opening to a cove. So this is where he has been all this time. But why? "Let's get some answers out of him."
We climb down the path, keeping our distance. I admit, it's beautiful here. No wonder why he spends so much time here. Maybe he decided to go on a camping trip here in his secret place? No. Seems too good to be true.
I watch along with the others as he calls out a word.
"Toothless?" I repeat confused, looking behind me at their confused faces. I motion for them to follow me while walking out of our hiding spots. We move up behind him, watching him for a minute as he takes out something that looks like some kind of leather harness. Then he notices us.
"He-Hey, guys. Uhm, w-what are y-you doing here?" He asked nervously, looking around for something.
"We should ask you the same thing. What are you doing here?" Snotlout asks, poking his chest with a finger. I grip my axe harder, hoping to scare the answers out of him.
"Y-You got me, it's time everyone knew. I-I've been making, OUTFITS! Yeah," He doesn't seem very convincing. Then out of nowhere, we hear a growl. I take my gaze off of him, searching for the thing that made that horrifying noise. Hiccup looks at us nervously, trying to keep us from moving around. I've had enough of him. I grab his hand, almost breaking it, but enough to make him fall on the ground. As a bonus I kick him in his stomach, and once he fell to the ground I drop my axe on him.
There it was again, the growl, but louder. As I move away from a huge rock, I see a black figure running over at us. Then I realize. It's a Dragon! But the something shocking happened. I raise my axe to attack him, but someone pulls it out of my hands, moving in front of me.
