Hiccup winced as he watched Gothi pull the arrow out of Astrid. The action woke her up and she was hit with a searing pain causing her to scream.
Then, her eyes rolled back and she fell unconscious again. Before any one could move they heard a loud screech followed a boom.
They heard heavy steps and Stormfly burst into the room.
It was obvious that Stormfly had knocked the door down when she heard her rider's scream. Hiccup watched as Stormfly curled around the bed that Astrid was laying on. It was obvious that nothing was getting was going to get her out now.
Hiccup sighed, his father was probably going to make up fix that door.
'Thanks" he mumbled sarcastically. Stormfly turned her head at him and huffed. Obviously upset that he had kept her from her rider.
Hiccup watched as Gothi hobbled over to the night fury and patted her head. Gothi then walked over to Hiccup than pointed at Stormfly.
"Yeah, that's Stormfly" Hiccup asked confirming what Gothi suspected.
She glanced back at Stormfly then pointed to her house. "You want us to go to your house" Gothi nodded then pointed at Astrid. "
Oh. When Astrid feels better" Gothi nodded then exited the room. Hiccup found a chair then set it next to the bed.
He sat down and grabbed Astrid hand. "Please wake up soon milady" he said a little teary eyed.
He hear soft padding and turned to see Toothless walking up to him. He then laid his head on his lap and crooned at him giving him his support. Hiccup cracked a smile "Thanks bud" . Toothless gave him a gummy smile as all three settled into a comfortable silence.
Stomfly's ear twitched as she heard a tired moan above her. She glanced up to see her rider stirring in the bed.
Stormfly yelped excitedly and nudged Astrid. Hearing all the excitement Toothless turned to see Stormfly wagging her tail and Astrid whose eyes were started to flutter open.
Toothless nudged Hiccup who had fallen asleep holding her hand and licked his face.
"Ew, bud seriously? Hiccup said as he woke up to dragon slobber on his face. He wiped it off and saw Astrid waking up. " Milady you're awake!" he yelled excited. Astrid who was still a little drowsy looked to see two night furies.
"Hiccup?"
"Yes?"
"I think I'm seeing double." Astrid said confused.
She looked at him "Where's Stormfly" Hiccup pointed at the night fury with yellow eyes.
That woke Astrid up .
She sat up in her bed causing her slight pain which didn't go unnoticed.
"Astrid, I think you should rest a little bit" She huffed
"Don't worry Hiccup. I'm fine" Hiccup rolled his eyes Astrid is so stubborn sometimes.
Astrid examined the night fury in front of her "Stormfly?"
The night fury hearing her name warbled happily than gave her rider a ton of licks. Astrid laughed as she wiped some of the slobber of her face.
Toothless not wanted to miss any of the action gave her a nuzzle happy that she woke up too.
"Hey Toothless. Its nice to see you too" Astrid said as she was surrounding by adoring coos from the two night furies. Hiccup was slightly jealous but pushed it aside he would have time with her later. "
Astrid" the girl looked over at him "Gothi wants us to come to her house when you feel better. I think it has something to do with Stormfly" he said as he examined Stormfly.
Astrid looked at Stormfly than him " Do you know how this happened?"
Hiccup shook his head. He proceeded to tell her what happen after she was knocked unconscious. After he was done telling the story she looked at Stormfly.
Thanks, girl" she said surprised at how fast she responded to her falling. Normally it was Toothless who would catch her.
It must have been the night furies protective genes that made her respond so fast to her falling. Hiccup stood up from his chair. "We should let you rest milady. Its been a tiring day" Astrid nodded her head in agreement but Stormfly was reluctant to leave she whined getting everyone's attention.
Astrid patted her head "I'll be fine girl."
She said trying to reassure the night fury.
"I bet your hungry anyway".
Stormfly was but she didn't want to leave Astrid and instead curled up around the bed again and laid down.
Hiccup laughed "Stubborn just like her rider" Astrid threw a pillow at him.
He laughed " I'll bring Stormfly some fish. Goodbye milady" he said leaving before Astrid could chew him out. She sighed then laid back down on the bed with her night fury as company.
