Chapter 6: Together
*Astrid POV*
Hiccup was about to jump! What is he thinking!? I saw him on the edge of the cliff looking out at the ocean. I wanted to jump and grab him but any sudden moves could make him jump. I moved slowly towards him hoping he didn't see me and that Viggo wouldn't try and kill me while my back was turned.
"This world." Hiccup began. "It's filled with lies and cruelty." Hiccup was saying with tears slowly coming down his face. "One person saves my life while the other watches. Then the other person shows more concern and affection than the one who saved my life." I couldn't stand hearing him depressed. Hiccup wasn't like that!
"Hiccup. Please." I said softly trying to get him to back away from the ledge. I was crying but I didn't want him to know.
"I don't deserve this!" Hiccup shouted. My heart was beating faster and faster. "WHICH ONE OF YOU IS LYING!?" He screamed.
"Hiccup, I would never lie to you!" I didn't hold back my tears anymore. Maybe him seeing me making myself vulnerable would get him to think twice what he was about to do.
"Viggo? What about you? TELL ME!" Viggo just stood there and he finally snapped out of his shock and responded,
"Back away from the ledge Hiccup. We can't save Toothless if you're gone." Viggo made a crucial point. For once I wanted Hiccup to listen to Viggo. Even though Viggo was asking for him to join him, at least he would be safe.
"IT'S OVER!" Hiccup shouted and turned back towards the ledge.
"HICCUP!" I lunged forward after him.
*Hiccup POV*
I took one last deep breath and raised my right leg and let my body weight carry me onto the point of no return. 'I'm finally leaving this world to Valhalla. Goodbye world.' I let myself fall. I felt the wind against my head. Suddenly I hit the ground, pain shooting through my back and I opened my eyes.
The sky was blue. I was laying on soft grass. Was this it? It looks so peaceful. I went to move but found the pain still in my back. I turned my head to find the blonde viking on her hands and knees staring at my face with a shocked face.
"Astrid?" How was I alive?
"Hiccup?" Was her only response.
"Did you pull me back from falling?" She nodded her head. It made sense! She pulled me back and I still fell but not forwards off the cliff, but backwards onto a few stones. She obviously moved me onto the grass nearby! "You were the truthful one!" I smiled and I saw her smile back. "Astrid, I'm Sor-" She cut me off the the biggest hug I've ever felt. She looked into my eyes and did something I did not expect.
She kissed me. It wasn't soft but not overly hard. Suddenly I remembered everything. I know who I am! I can remember everything up to this moment! Why did I ever doubt Astrid?
"I love you." She quickly said before reconnecting her lips with mine. I had to tell her I was ok. I quickly broke it and I saw heartbreak in her eyes.
"Astrid! I remember everything! I'm so sorry I doubted you!" I had to quickly get that apology out quickly because she jumped on me and kissed me again.
*Astrid POV*
I finally had Hiccup back and I finally confessed my true feelings for him! My worst nightmare became a dream come true. I pulled his face against mine so he couldn't break the kiss. The kiss lasted for about a whole minute and a half before we broke hearing Viggo's calm voice.
"Shame. Hiccup, you would've made a great hunter. Shoot him. Leave the girl alive." Viggo ordered and I saw the archers aim their arrows at Hiccup I jumped in front of him to protect him.
"You won't hurt him again." I said with hatred in my voice.
"You have 3 seconds to get away before my hunters fire at you too." Viggo threatened.
"Astrid, Run!" Hiccup tried to make me move but I held my ground.
"No Hiccup, I'm not losing you again!" I turned and hugged him waiting for the arrow to go through us granting us a passage to the gates of Valhalla. I heard a roar and I looked to where the sound came from.
"Toothless!" Hiccup gasped. Toothless unloaded a plasma blast in front of the hunters knocking them off their feet. We jumped onto Toothless and drove the hunters off the island.
Ten minutes after, I entered Hiccup's hut and saw him sitting on his bed. "Hey, you ok?" I asked.
"Ya. I just can't believe I wanted to kill myself. That doesn't sound like me does it?" He chuckled. I felt relieved to hear him laugh again. I sat beside him and punched his shoulder. "Ow! You really have to lighten up on that."
"That's for almost killing yourself leaving me alone in this world." I glared at him. He gave an embarassed and regretful look.
"I'm sorry Astrid! I wasn't thinking!" Hiccup was really sorry. I cupped his cheek and slowly kissed him. I held it there until we had to part for air.
"Why? Aren't you mad at me?" Hiccup asked me.
"That's for remembering me and allowing me to kiss you." I smiled at him. He was ok.
"I'm tired. I should probably rest now." Hiccup got into his bed.
"I should too." I climbed in beside him and he immedietly got uncomfortable.
"Uh, Astrid? You know this isn't your bed right?" He was blushing. I smiled
"I know." and snuggled into him. I started fell asleep using his chest as a pillow. I couldn't have felt better about myself. Right before I drifted off into a deep sleep I heard him whisper in my ear.
"I love you too. Always have, always will."
