Hey guys I'm back with chapter two! I'm sorry I didn't post this sooner but I was sick and not exactly in the mood for writing... Anyways thats all I have to say so, onwards with chapter two!

Hiccup awoke one week after the accident to the sound of faint beeping. His body felt heavy and there was a sharp pain in his lower left leg. After a few seconds he didn't feel as heavy as before, except for what ever was on his chest. Hickory tried to open his eyes but they too felt heavy, so he sighed in defeat, but seconds after he did the weight was lifted off his chest.

"Hickory?" He heard someone whisper, it sounded like Astrid, but the voice echoed as if she was standing at the front of a cave, so it was kind of hard to tell which Hofferson twin it was. "Hickory, buddy are you awake?" she muttered and kissed the tip of his nose, yep, it was definitely Astrid.

He struggled, but finally opened his tired eyes and stared up at Astrid, who smiled down at him.

"Strid?"

"Yea buddy it's me, how do you feel?" Astrid said and stroked his hair with her hand.

"A-Astrid m' leg really hurts, why?" he mumbled.

Her happy expression turned sorrowful, then she turned and looked at his left leg. "Well, uh." Astrid whispered. "You see you, uh."

Astrid was about to finish when a nurse walked into his room. "Oh! Your awake! Okayiss could you leave the room for a minute, I need to run some tests."

A few minutes later the nurse came back out of Hickory's room, and told Astrid that he seemed to be fine, but too call her back if anything happened, she also told Astrid that she felt it'd be best if she were to share the news of his leg. The nurse didn't say why but let Astrid back into his room and left.

When Astrid reentered his room he looked up at her, he looked confused. "Astrid, please tell me what's wrong with my leg." Hiccup said sternly, nobody had been giving him the answered to know now.

She hesitated for a moment but finally decided that he deserved to know what had happened, it was his leg after all.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Astrid asked, she knew his answer, but wanted to be sure.

"Just tell me what happened Astrid! Please!" Hickory pleaded.

"Okay," she whispered and gently stroked his hair. "On the night of the accident, well first I should tell you that the man who hit us, Oswald, he died on the way to the hospital. And I broke my shoulder and arm" Astrid said, he hadn't even noticed her cast and sling until now.

"Well?"

"Well, when the other guy hit us, your leg got caught in the debris, then it got badly infected, a-and they tried their best to save it, but.."

"But what Astrid? Spit it out! You aren't usually like this!"

"They had to amputate your leg Hic!" Astrid blurted. Hiccup sat up. his face turned pale and tears filled his eyes.

"What?" he whimpered, ripped his blankets and stared down at what was left of his leg. It had been amputated from just bellow his knee down.

"They saved as much as they could, your lucky you didn't lose your knee." Astrid whispered and rapped her arm tightly around him, Hickory stiffened at first, but soon relaxed and practically went limp in her arms. "Hey you'll get through this, okay? And we'll all be right here with you, you won't be alone, ever, okay?"

"Kay, where's mum 'n dad?" he whimpered and buried his face into her neck.

"They're at work bud, and Storm and Toby are at school, I'm only here because I can't write 'cause of my arm."

Hiccup slowly drifted off to sleep in her arms, and she laid him back down in his bed, but still kept an arm around him.

OoOoO

About a month after, Hiccup was almost walking by himself again, but still needed his brother or one of the Hofferson twins help every once and a while. So today his parents said that Hickory could walk around town for a few hours as long as his brother and the Hofforson twins were with him.

He limped out of his house immediately after the let him. Hiccup didn't get to leave the house often, for he was incredibly clumsy even before he lost his leg, he had lost a lot of blood during the accident, plus he was in shock from the loss of his leg, so his parents had to monitor him closely. The only time he really left was when he went to his physical therapist, and every once in a while he'd go to the hospital for a few tests. But being in the state that he was, Hiccup still needed someone with him contently, he collapsed often, one of the the most resent collapse sent him tumbling down the stairs where he broke his new prosthetic and a few fingers.

The four teens piled into Toby's car and drove to the small movie theater down town and once the movie was over they went to a small restaurant a cross the street. Went everyone was about half way through their meal Hiccup got up to go to the bathroom.

"Hiccup, where are you going?" Storm asked as he got up from the table.

"I'm just going to the bathroom, that's all." He mumbled.

"Do you need one of us to help you get there?" Toby said.

"No, it's only just down the hall, I'll get there fine one my own, but thanks anyways." Hickory replied and headed down the hall.

Once Hiccup had gotten to the bathroom and finished his... business, he bumped into an angry looking teen about a year or two older then him. The older teen grabbed his arm and grabbed his arm and drug him through the back door.

"You!" He screamed at Hiccup as soon as they were outside. "Your Hickory Haddock, arn't you!?"

"Yes, and you are?"

"I'm Duke Berserk!"

"And you dragged me out here because?"

"You killed my father!" Duke screeched and pushed Hiccup over onto the ground.

"Wait what?! I haven't killed any... oh, was he the guy in the other car in the accident? Oswald was it?"

"Yes, Oswald Berserk, YOU KILLED HIM!" Duke yelled and grabbed Hiccup's shirt and picked him up.

"No, it was an accident, and, he was drunk! I'm sorry!"

"Sorry? Sorry won't get my father back!" Duke screamed and Hiccup quickly turned to leave when Duke turned him around again, but something about him was off. His eyes had changed, they looked identical to the blood moon, it was as if he was being controled, by the blood moon itself. Suddenly Duke began chanting in Latin. "A singulis autem in carne una flamma furoris noctuque fieri nocte deae aeterno deo placere eum draconem furorem ac noctes agitabat!"

Seconds after Duke's chanting had stopped chanting there was a blinding flash of light. Hickory blinked a few times after the flash and noticed Duke laying unconscious on the ground. He quickly turned for the door, his friends must be worried he had been gone for a while, so he ran inside.

"Hickory there you are we though you had fallen in!" His brother joked.

"Hardy har har, very funny Toby."

"Hey, Hic are you okay? What's wrong with you shoulder, did you fall?" Astrid said and set a hand on his shoulder.

"Uhh, yea, yea! I tripped on my way but I'm fine."Hiccup lied.

"Okay, just be more careful next time okay?" Storm replied.

Hickory smiled, he was glad that his friends had belived his lie, and also glad the had only noticed a few of the red marks on his shoulders.

But what none of the teens noticed was the small black scales just behind his left ear.
