Astrid POV (No first person)

"Welcome to dragon training!" Gobber said as he opened the door of the Arena.

"No turning back" Astrid whispered. It might sound like acting, or most likely overreacting, but she saw it this way: You enter Dragon Training; you are a Dragon Killer forever.

"I hope to get some serious burns!" She heard Tuffnut said

"I want a scratch, like in the shoulder, or lower back" Ruffnut said.

Astrid didn´t agree with them. "Yeah, it´s only fun if you get a scar out of it." She said sarcastically. If you get a scar during training, you will become known as a wimp who couldn´t stand training.

"The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing a dragon in front of everyone. Behind this gates are some of the species you will learn to fight. The monsters nightmare"

She listened as the blacksmith continued his mini-speech. When it was about to end, she got this strange feeling that you got when someone is watching you. She looked up to see a boy in a long black cloak. When she looked again, he had disappeared.

Hiccup sighed. Astid almost saw him! Good thing he decided to wear his cloak ho hide his wings, tail and ears.

He landed on the Cove, as he liked to call it.

"Toothless! I´m here!" He called for his brother. They weren´t really brothers, but after the dragons rejected Hiccup, attacked him, they ran away together. Toothless wanted to get rid of the Queen´s control, and Hiccup wanted that too. Hiccup himself was part Night Fury, so anyone who knew their story would think that it runs from family.

He remembered what the dragons had said when they started attacking him. Monster… Not even your mother wanted you… Nature´s mistake!

His thoughts were interrupted by Toothless, who came quickly and tackled him. He started licking the boy, showing him that he had missed him.

"Yeah, yeah, I missed you too" Hiccup said "But this time I actually got some information"

Toothless finally stopped licking Hiccup, and he stand up. "Six teens are starting Dragon Training. They captured a Monsters Nightmare, a Gronkle, a Terrible Terror, a Zippleback and a Nadder. Gobber is training them, which means they will learn fast. For what I saw, the only competent future killer is Astrid, the blonde girl." Toothless made a gesture that Hiccup understood as 'I still don´t know who she is' "You know, the one with blue eyes?"

'The one you are crushing on?'

"I don´t have a crush on Astrid!"

'Yes you do'

"No I don´t!"

'Yes you do!'

"No I don´t! If she ever saw you or me she wouldn´t doubt in killing us! I can´t cave a crush on a murderer!"

'But you do'

"No I don´t!"

They continued fighting until the sun fell, and then they went to sleep.

Astrid couldn´t sleep. She was tired, but she still couldn´t sleep. She had these strange feeling, like if something big was coming. She sighed and rolled out of bed. She wanted to go out. But where? Hmmm… The forest. Yes, the forest was perfect. She had once gone to the forest at night. It was beautiful, so she decided to do it again.

She walked down the stairs, grabbed her axe and opened the door. She walked for hours until she realized she was lost. She started looking for something familiar, like a rock or a tree. Or maybe the familiar shape of a building in the distance. How could she be so stupid? Going for a night walk in the forest? With all the dragon attacks?

She saw a cave and she entered it, thinking that she could spend the night and continue looking for the village in the morning, when it was lighter.

She bumped into something soft and warm, something alive!

"Ahhh!" She screamed

"Ahhhh" She heard a male voice

"Sorry, I didn´t see you. Were you sleeping?" She asked. It was so dark she couldn´t see anything past her nose.

"I´m fine. And you?"

"Yes, perfect." Her eyes were now adjusting to the light and she saw a strange shape.

"I´m Hiccup, and you are…" He said.

Astrid was still trying to figure out what the strange shape was, so she took some seconds to answer.

"I´m Astrid"

"A-astrid?" She saw the shape back up a little.

"Yes. Is anything wrong?" She was very confused. Why would he react that way?

"Go away." He said with a firm voice

"What?"

"You heard me. Go away before I do something you won´t like."

"Why?"

"Ah, and tell the chiefs that the monster is still here. They will know what I mean"

Stoick entered his wife´s bedroom to see her crying.

"Fourteen years Stoick. Today he would turn fourteen." Stoick knew what she meant. She missed their son. True, she left him in the forest, but then she realized what she had done. "How could I do that. He was only a baby. It wasn´t his fault"

Stoick walked towards Valka and hugged her. "Shh, it isn´t your fault. We don´t even know if he is dead. Don´t give up hope."

In that moment they heard a knock in the door. The chief walked away from the crying woman to the front door.

He opened it to see Astrid.

"Yes Astrid?"

"Is this a bad moment? I need to speak with you."

"No, come in" He gestured her to enter the room and she did

"Chief, today, I was walking in the forest and I kinda found someone" He gestured for her to sit in the table

"I think it was a boy about my age. He said some strange things and he asked me to deliver a message." She took a deep breath "She said that the monster was still there. Do you know what…"

She was interrupted by Valka "Did he say his name?"

"Yes, he said it was Hiccup" The couple shared a look.

"Did you see him?" Stoick asked.

"No, it was too dark, I was only able to see a strange shape, but it was definitely not human"

The eldest female gasped. "Stoick, he is alive!" She smiled

"Yes, it seems so." The chief smiled "Our son is still alive!"

"Whoa, what do you mean son?" Astrid asked

The chief and his wife looked at her "Astrid, go and call Gobber" He said

She stand up and walked to the forge.

"Hey Gobber, the chief is calling you."

"What does he want?"

"I don´t know. They are talking about their… son. I didn´t know they had a son"

"Ah, Hiccup. Brilliant boy they have. Shame he is half dragon." He said

"Wait. Half dragon?!" She asked

"I should be going. We will probably tell you later" And with that he was gone, leaving a very confused Astrid behind
