Chapter 8
Astrid stared at him, not in disbelief but in shock, it felt good to be told something nice about her after so long of bring in a spiraling relationship..but she has to tell Hiccup, she can't just not tell him.
"Hiccup thats sweet but you should know that i'm dating this person called Eret," Hiccup didn't show any sign of being upset and he seemed to be thinking of something before saying.
"Eret son of Eret?" Astrid looked at him in shock.
"Yeah how did you know?"
Hiccup closed his eyes before sleepy mumbling.
"He used to work for Drago before he went missing," Hiccup mumbled closing his eyes again. Astrids heart stopped, Eret didn't work for Drago, or used to, he he rides a dragon for crying out loud, and if what Valka said about Drago was right then Eret should be a dragon killer.
"I'm going to go get your mom," Astrid mumbled.
"Try and stay awake," Astrid walked down stairs and woke Valka up only for her to run upstairs to her son. Astrid left to go find Eret. She needed to talk to her boyfriend.
But what Astrid didn't know is that as she left Hiccup's room Hiccup closed his eyes and mumbled.
"Of course she would forget me...Drago was right," as Hiccup finished it the door barged open giving him a fright that caused some of the stitches to come loose causing him to cry out in pain.
"Hiccup, oh my, hold on," he looked up to see his mother walk over with a bandage and a needle in case he needed new stitching.
"No, mom, I'm fine," he groaned.
Valka sat down on the stool next to his bed and sighed, just staring at her son that finally came home.
"I thought you were dead…" Valka burst out in tears. Hiccup looked at her and took her hand.
She wiped away some tears;
"We… We had a funeral for you…" She continued and Hiccup had tears running down his face as well.
"I thought... I thought Drago had killed you, it felt like someone had stabbed my heart the day he took you away from me...and there was nothing i could do to stop it," she grabbed Hiccup into a tight hug and continued crying, Hiccup starting sobbing silently with tears running down his face.
Valka pulled out of the hug to wipe away her and Hiccup's tears.
"Oh my little boy, welcome home," Hiccup smiled at that before hugging his mother again hoping to never have her away from him again.
As they pulled away the door opened up to reveal and aged Stoick. Hiccup got a good look at his dad and found the man and more wrinkles than before and grey was growing in his beard.
"Son,"he whispered before walking over to the bed silently.
There was a dead silence in the air as Hiccup and Stoick looked at each other before;
"You're back," Stoick's voice cracked at the end before grabbing his son into the air and crushing him in a bear hug. Hiccup and Valka were surprised at this.
Stoick pulled away from the hug and sat on the bed in between his wife and son.
Hiccup tried his best to sit up but to no avail as he fell on his side again. This made them all chuckle a bit.
"I can't believe it either, after all these years…" Valka said.
"Yeah… I finally managed to escape Drago, but I guess at a price…" Hiccup said nodding to his left leg replaced with metal.
"But we got him back… Toothless tore off his entire left arm," he added.
"And while you were gone… we still put flowers at your grave," Stoick said quietly. He then doubled over and sobbed into the sheets holding Hiccup and Valka's hand.
Tears shimmied down Hiccup's face as well at the sight of both his parents sobbing, especially his father, who was always said to be the toughest viking chief that ever lived.
Suddenly, the attack horns went off.
"Drago!" Whispered Hiccup.
Sorry for short chapter XD
