Chapter 28: Battlefield
After a few moments of crying, Astrid wiped the tears from her face and stood up. She took in deep breaths and calmed herself down and looked at Hiccup sadly and then walked over to their room and put on some different clothes she found odd. They weren't exactly normal but then again this world isn't exactly normal either. The T.V. as they call it was most strange but at the same time interesting. She could have sworn that there is magic involved. Regardless, Astrid focused again and put on the clothes. "How can they wear such things, they hardly feel protective." Astrid finished changing and then looked out the window. The sun shone on her face through the window and warmed her face. "I had a moment of weakness; I need to leave for a moment." Astrid left the room trying to keep her composure. She looked over to the others and yelled out to them. "I need some air." Astrid looked at Hiccup one more time.
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute, it's love
And, suddenly, it's like a battlefield
One word turns into war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield - can't go back, now
Astrid then left without another word and felt the cold wind nip at her nose. She walked down the sidewalk just deciding to wonder about things in this strange world other then thinking of Hiccup as it would just frustrate her. This white dirty strip of ground was so strange. 'Why can't these people just walk on the dark part of the ground.' Astrid wondered stepping out into the street and then a loud noise was heard which made her jump as a big metal thing went rushing by. A man stuck out the window shaking his fist violently at her. 'I should have paid more attention to Will and Matt when they were talking about this world.' Astrid thought walking along the sidewalk.
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh, no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
Why we gotta fall for it, now...
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like
Astrid continued to look around as she walked and seeing people walking as well; some of them with their arms around each other. Astrid could only assume that the two like each other. This began to upset her and caused her to think of Hiccup. Astrid shook her head to clear her thoughts and continued to walk, her head looking at other things. 'So many things in this world that are so strange. This world would fit Hiccup nicely if we weren't angry with each other. Why can't he just; why can't we just give in and go our separate ways.' Astrid thought and then tried to clear her head again.
Can't swallow our pride
Neither of us wanna raise that flag, mmm
If we can't surrender
Then, we're both gonna lose what we have, oh, no
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing), oh, no
These times when we climb so fast to fall, again
I don't wanna fall for it, now...
Astrid frowned as she tried to shake her thoughts of Hiccup but found it useless. Astrid just couldn't get Hiccup out of her head. 'What's wrong with me, I used to be able to just shake anything. This world is making me weak. I can't even fight off Hiccup anymore. Ever since we got here, I've become less and less like me. I never cry except out of worry of course, and yet, I did?' Astrid couldn't do this anymore, she couldn't keep fighting Hiccup.
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Better go and get your armor (get your armor),
get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your
Astrid walked back to the house looking down the whole way. She walked in and noticed Hiccup on the odd bed that many people sit on. 'I really need to pay attention.' Astrid walked over to Hiccup and sat down next to him. "Hiccup, I'm so sorry for what I said." Hiccup then got up and started to walk away. "Hiccup, what can I do to not make you angry with me anymore?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup turned around glaring. "I'm not mad at you for that anymore."
Astrid was shocked by this because if he isn't mad at her for that, then what and then it hit her. "I'll try again to convince my dad to let me" Astrid was then cut off.
"You just don't get it do you. Let me know when you figure it out." Hiccup then left with no response from Astrid.
We could pretend that we are friends, tonight (oh)
And, in the morning, we wake up, and we'd be alright
'Cause, baby, we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield, a battlefield,
a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor...
I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
I guess you better go and get your armor
(get your armor), get your armor (get your armor)
Why does love always feel like (oh, oh)
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield
Astrid just didn't get it, is she really blind to what Hiccup wants from her? "What does he mean and how am I supposed to know if he won't tell me?" Astrid frowned sadly and then sat down. "I never meant to anger him."
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for...
"Why are we even fighting like this. We have different opinions on things but we have never fought like this over something before and this shouldn't be any different, right?" Astrid questioned.
A/N: I hadn't planned on adding this song to the chapter but I felt like it fit perfectly and I just couldn't resist it. I hope it turned out ok and if anyone is wondering, the song is from Jordin Sparks. I hope you enjoyed it and thanks for all the reviews and please continue reviewing. I love getting them and hearing what you all have to say.
