Hello and firstly i am so sorry for not updating in like 2 weeks. I have been so busy with things, from assignments, exams, getting an infected eye and the flu TWICE! and a whole bunch of other things,So basically my life has been hectic. I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed my story, It really warms my heart when ever i see one. Well anyway hope you enjoy and please R&R
Astrid felt like she hadn't cried that much in her entire life, even when hiccup almost died fighting the Red Death. She was starting to blame herself more and more for what Hiccup went through, She started to think Hiccup would leave her as soon as he remembered what she did to him and she wouldn't blame him,she started to believe he didn't deserve her anymore. Astrid at this point was crying to herself but the need to find out everything she did to Hiccup to make it up to him made her continue reading.
Today was the usual nothing much happened today... Well if you read the date today anyone on berk can tell you that isn't the case.
Astrid looked at the date Friday 13th of April and if Friday the 13th wasn't an indication of the day then what would?. Black Friday as it was later called was the worst Raid in Berk's history. The date now days was forgotten because of the peace with dragons but Astrid remembered that day and it wasn't really helping her mood either.
Fire and smoke and not the usual amount. It was horrible i swear i might be scarred for life because of today, well more than usual. At least 30 people died most of them I didn't know but today I realized how much the village hates me.
"Oh Shit" Was all Astrid could say and think about after that. She knew she was going to feel more guilty now, so she embraced it by reading it.
So I wake up to a Dragon raid but not any normal Dragon raid these raids are called Deaths From Above. I realized quickly I needed to get to the forge, so i ran as fast as my legs could go But the only response I got from going outside is "GET BACK INSIDE" "What are you doing" "Get back inside useless" and such is all i get. I repair weapons at the forge so you would expect I would be told to get to the forge at least but no I am such a burden I need to go back inside my house. So because of this when I get to the forge even Gobber's small talk can't even lift my spirits. Then I got an idea, I was going to prove myself gain the acceptance of my tribe I am going kill dragons but how you have no muscle one might say, Well I have brains and ideas well blueprints but nothing built yet But now I had a goal to kill a dragon alas it seemed the gods weren't so happy with Berk today, because the Dragons unleashed a dragon no man had seen before only tales of it's destruction ran through the archipelago. It never shows itself, never steals food and is faster than lightning, we Vikings call it The Night Fury.
Astrid laughed at how much vikings feared Toothless but she remembered that day as it was the first time the night fury came. Even though Toothless can act like a puppy dog mixed with a cat. There's no doubt a Night Fury was dangerous and extremely powerful.
This thing is insane, it is said to be the unholy offspring of lightning and Death itself. It took down all our catapults All OF THEM! Killing most of the people manning them. This left our food supply wide open. Me being curious and all i left the forge to see the Night Fury. I run to the top of a hill outside to try and spot it but I couldn't as it was always covered in darkness.
"Gods Damn you Hiccup and your curiousness it's going to get you killed one day." Astrid said
As I look up and see nothing but black night, I hear flapping then the loud THUD of something landing. I look around and see a green and red nadder with shades of blue and yellow eyes stare at me with what i can only assume is Curiousness. Call me crazy but aren't dragons mindless killing machines but this one is curious about me. Well i didn't have long to think as with a loud shrill it came running and me in the opposite direction.
"Hate to tell you i told you so but i told you so"Astrid said to the book, starting to realize how crazy she must sound talking to a book. "Yeah no wonder hiccup doesn't deserve me i'm talking to a book for Thor's sake!"Astrid muttered to herself.
I run as fast as my little legs can carry me, like really i do this time as i don't want be eaten today or frankly any day. I scream for help then "HICCCCUUUUUUPPPPP" Uh oh public scolding time i guess i might take my chances with the nadder behind me. I look around to see the nadder getting it's head beaten in by my massive 400 pound father and his massive hammer, It takes a few blows before flying off. My Father turns to me "WHAT are you doing outside The forge HICCUP!"My Dad bellows down on me, If his words weighed anything i would of been crushed no doubt. "Trying to... um ... see.. t t the Night fury."I squeak out. My Dad's face goes red with anger as he glares at me i look away to see a crowd of people around us, Public humiliation just what the doctor ordered. "YOU COULD OF BEEN KILLED Don't you know how dangerous that thing is? Gods above why do i have to deal with my son's mess, I have more important things to deal with than this." He says pointing to me "you just gestured to all of me?" "Exactly" That last part was like a knife straight through my heart. The worst thing is all around i hear noises of agreement, snickers and down right shouts of "GET Him outa here" and such The village sure hates me for some reason i don't know. Must of missed the memo i guess.
"Oh Gods that is horrible, That is horrible."Astrid really shouldn't be angry at Stoick as she knows full well he more than made up for it, by paying the ultimate price. Tears start to fall as she remembers what happened.
"Gobber get him home NOW!"My dad bellows as i am shooed off. I feel tears start to brim in my eyes. I waste no time and run off home ignoring Gobber's voice. So here i am, Knowing The Village hates me The Gods hate me and My Dad hates me. That's all i have to say.
