AN: I'm sorry this is so short. Its more of a filler chapter because i didn't know what to write. I didn't want to go 6 more weeks without updateing either. I'll be spending less time online soon so i'll be able to write more... hopefully. I'm going on a trip from January 16 to the 22.
Chapter 5
Stoik, Astrid, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Snotlout, Fishlegs, and Gobber were at the mouth of the cave where Hiccup and Toothless were last seen. It had caved in and now they were attempting to clear the boulders and rubble to get to the stone doorway. While doing this Astrid's thoughts were on Hiccup. She'd kissed him, multiple times, but had never really expressed the way she felt. It just wasn't her style. She wondered where he was at now, if he was ok. All these thoughts swirled about in her mind and gave her strength to move the large pieces of stone.
Fishlegs interrupted her thoughts when he shouted, "Um... guys! I... I thing I found something!"
They gathered around the area where Fishlegs was staring. Stoik reached down and pulled a metal helmet out of the rubble. The other vikings stared at it. It was Hiccup's helmet.
Astrid asked the question they were all thinking, "So, Is he... dead?"
Stoik didn't answer, but instead when back to moving the rocks, this time with more force and ferocity than before. Gobber shook his head and started helping again. Astrid made a decision then. If Hiccup was still alive and he made it through all this to see her again, she would tell him that she loves him. She didn't care if it wasn't her style, it needed to be said... and she wished she had said it sooner.
