Chapter 4.

Berk

Things seemed normal in Berk. The last raid before winter came and now everyone was collecting food or rebuilding homes. Everything seemed like every other year. The only difference was that this year they were missing a young maiden. It wasn't unusual that people died. They were vikings after all and people died. Either from age, sickness or in battle. However the young maiden had not died and so people could not send her off nor could they hope that she was fiesting with the gods in Valhalla.

"They young maiden was taken in the last raid by the Dragon Master himself.

The girl wasn't even participating in the battle due to her injury from the raid before. The Dragon Master snuck into the girls room, tried taking her but she fought back unwilling to give up without a fight. The lass jumped out the window of her room and ended up injuring herself. But the Dragon Master did not want to give up his prize. He went after her, however the girls betroved saw this and fiercly thought for the girls freedom. Then is when that devil brought in the dragons and hid them in the gas of a zippleback. When it all cleared the girl was over the mans sholder. Our cheif tried to negotiat with the devil but he was after his prize like a dog after a bone.

That monster took one of Berks fiercest and bravest worriors. He took the future chefs bride. He took one of our own. And i can reasure you i know why. How many of you have thought that devil?"

A few people put up their hands. The great hall was full of people. Spitelout standing on the stage, talking about lasts night raid.

"And how many of those who raised their hands have heard him speak." About half of the crowd put down their hands.

"I myself have engaged in a battle and spoke to him. Now tell me am I the only one who thinks this man has a rather young voice. I personally would not be suprised if he was the same age as my boy!" Gasps errupted in the great hall.

"And what do lads his age think about except for war and training! Lasses i tell you they think about. So what do you think he needs a young lass for!" The hall errupted in whispers. You could here Mrs Hofferson sobbing in her husbands arms, afraid for her daughters saftey.

"That's what I thought," The hall went silent as Spitelout continued his speach." Raise your hand if you think we should go after the lass?"

The whole villiage raised their hands in union.

"Thats what i thought!" cheered Spitelout.

Dragon Sanctuary.

"10 days! 10 days i have been stuck in this room!" The young maiden screeched at the aburn haired lad on the other side of the cave like room.

The room itself was not that bad. There was a big bed int the corner of the room, covered in all kinds of exotic furs. There were a few cubbords. There was a desk littered in all kinds of papers and books . There was a stool by the fire pit. It had washroom/bathroom atached to the door. The celing of the room was plain cave and the wall had a few shelves. There were a few hangers holding a few swords and daggers, all have been somehow bent or broken by the raiging maden on the first few days of her stay. The door to the room was made out of thick wood with a lock. Everytime someone entered or left the room the door was locked to make sure the blond warrior does not try to run.

"So?" the lad shrugged as he checked his armor for any damige.

For the first week the lass had the room at nights all to her self but 3 days ago her so called 'mate' had decided that he wanted to slep in his bed. Scince then every nigh he fell asleep with the lass in his arms and woke up to see that she either had done something to his armor or to him while he slept.

"So! Do you imagne how it feels to be trapped in a single room for over a week with nothing to do!"

"Actually i do. When i get indured on raids my mother does not let me out till the next raid . Which is usually a month away! So I dont see what the problem is. Its not like your issolated."

"No it is like im issolated. The only company i get is at lunch when your mother brings me food or checks my arm. And that is somewhere only 1 hour a day!"

"What about me. Im here in the morning, evening and all night. And we dont sit in silence. We talk and you try to kill me at least twice a day."

" You are not company! You are my captator who likes to share a bed with their prisoner!"

"What about toothless and the dragons. Arn't they your company. Sneeky has not left your side scince themoment he snuck in here."

"Sneeky is like a puppy who wont leave you and will paly on your nerves. And all the other dragons are like prison guards."

"Okay! Then what do you want me to do. Bring you out of the room. Hell no. If you cant even get used to Sneeky, Stormly or Toothless who are the few dragons who acttually listen to commands then how are you supposed to get used to walking through the sanctuary all day with no one to watch you?"

"Then just take me home!"

"We have been through this a thousand times! My awnser is still the same! No!"

"Your imposible!"

"And your stuborn!"

Suddenly Astrid went to grab the mug on the desk next to her. She lunged it at riders head. However he avoided it eeasily by ducking. She then grabbed a book and threw at him from the shelf above the desk. She once more threw the item at the green yed lad who once again avoided it with ease. This continued on like that untill the lass had nothing left to throw!

"Finished?" Asked the boy as he got up fom his crouched position.

"Not until i see you atleast with a few missing teeth!"

With that she tackled him onto the bed where they had wrestling match. After a few minutes with both of them fighting for the upper hand the boy ended up on the top with the girl squirming underneath him.

"I have a deal for you!" this made the girl go still and look at the riders face. "I will let you out of the room if you let me kiss you once a day whenever i want?"

The irl thought for a moment and then spoke.

"One kiss a day at any time and i wont be stuck in this room all day?"

"Mhm. One kiss. Every day. Whenever i want. Thats all."

After a few thoughtfull moments the girl noded.

"Good!"

With that the boy leaned in and kissed her. After a few moments Astrid body took over her mind and she started kissing him back. To her suprise he was a good kisser. When they seperated for oxygen Astrid spoke.

"You used up your kiss for the day Hiccup. Now let me out!" He smirked.

"With pleasure M'lady."
