Hello everyone! I have edited this A/N since last posted and seeing as I have had a couple of people wanting the story to continue, I have decided to continue it :) So this is now NOT the last chapter :)

Chapter 9: The Cure

"Common StormFly we only have a few hours left!, we can't let Hiccup down!" Astrid said to her dragon in a determined voice. They were getting closer to Berk; they had not rested since they escaped from the collapsing hall. They neared the shore and were close to the island.

"As-dri-d" Whispered a weak Hiccup who was attempting to toss and turn in his bed but just simply did not have the energy to.

"What was that boy?" questioned Gobber as he came over to the delirious boy and sat next to him on his bed.

"As-dri-d" He said again but this time weaker than before if it could be possible.

A thud could be heard outside catching the attention of Gobber and the healer who both hastily walked to the window to see Astrid getting off of Stormfly back and running towards the house.

"She did it!"The healer exclaimed, "I knew she could do it"

"Yeah well Astrid is a bright young girl... I knew she would do it all along." Added Gobber who earned an 'is-that-so' look from the healer.

Astrid came running through the door, petals in hand and handed them over to the healer so she could begin making the cure for hiccup who resembled a white sheet.

"Hiccup! You'll be fine, we have the antidote!" Astrid said to Hiccup who was still. He didn't move or speak...or breathe.

"Hiccup?! HICCUP!, He's not breathing Gobber! Quick is the potion done yet!?" Astrid began to tear up and panic. "He can't die after all this, if only I had been here sooner." She thought. "Where is the Antidote!?"

"It's here quickly now" The healer gave Astrid the medicine to give to hiccup who still wasn't breathing.

Astrid poured the liquid into Hiccups mouth and waited. Seconds went by and still nothing, even though it felt like hours.

"I was too late!" Astrid let the tears flow from her eyes and pour down her face. Stoick walked in the room and saw everyone's expression on their faces and also began to cry at Hiccups bed side.

Suddenly Hiccups eyes snapped open, and he breathed in a deep sharp breath...then coughed

"HICCUP! YOUR ALIVE!" Astrid Cried as she launched herself at Hiccup who was in a bit of shock but then grimaced in pain from his shoulder wound. Once Astrid had retracted from the crushing I mean hug she proceeded to give a forceful punch to Hiccups uninjured shoulder.

"Ow! Why? Just why?" He said with a confused look on his face as he held his shoulder with a tight grip trying to ease the bruise he knew would soon appear.

"Ugh! Hiccup you scared me to death! Don't ever do that again or ill have to kill you myself!" Hiccup began to try and explain himself to the enraged Viking standing over him but was halted in his rambling with a soft kiss on the lips.

"a-and urr... what was that for?" he said slowly looking straight at Astrid with a bewildered stare.

"For not dying..." She said bashfully but then returned to her strong composure.

"Anyway what was that stuff? It tasted like rotten fish!" Hiccup said as he slowly propped himself up with the help of Gobber.

"It was a petal from 'Thors flower'" Answered the healer

"Thors flower? But that's just a myth... well I suppose obviously not seeing as I'm still alive."

"Wait how do you know about the story? I had never heard of it till a few days ago." Interjected Astrid with a confused expression.

"Great Hall's library...you know that big Building in the middle of the village? The only building that Ruffnut and Tuffnut seem to avoid?"

"Yer yer I get it, I'm not one to read much, but at least the time I did read, I saved your life"

"And thank Thor she did! I was worried sick that you would not make it Hiccup" Stoick said as he leaned into a gentle embrace with his son. "Anyway you should get some rest my dear boy, the sooner you do the faster you will be up and about." Hiccup grinned and tried to get comfy in his pillow as he listened to his father.

"Will do Dad"

"common you three let him get some rest" Stoick opened the door and lead the three out the room and downstairs.

All hiccup could think about for the rest of the evening was Alvin. What if he came back? What if he tried to captured him again? 'What if...no stop doing this to yourself, he isn't coming back and that's that.' He thought trying to settle his thoughts. His shoulder was throbbing with pain under the many layers of bandages that had been applied by Gobber and the Healer.

His eyelids became heavy and the room soon turned to darkness as he drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

A few day past since Hiccup woke up. His shoulder seemed to be giving him some trouble still but apart from that he was full of energy as usual, riding Toothless, looking at new plans for his dragons tail and doing his daily chores around the village for his father.

Everything seemed back to the way it used to be. Well they hoped it was.

"My Spies tell me the dam boy survived. How could he have done? Hmm?! He was meant to DIE!" He shouted at his crew as one man tried to reply sheepishly

"Maybe they f-found a cure?"

"OR MAYBE HE WAS NOT ADMISTURED CORRECTLY?!"

"n-no captain we made sure he was given the poison properly just like you had asked" The man stepped back away from the fuming Viking standing in front of him in case he became violent.

"Well we cant do much about that now so I want you men to go and kill anything living or that moves on Berk. Outcasts WILL own Berk. Stoick and his stupid son will fall. It's now or never lads. This is it..." Boomed Alvin as their large ships once again drew closer to Berks shore. The question remains will they stay? Or will they leave with their blood thirsty revenge unfulfilled?

Hiccup thought Berk was safe. But was it really?

Next chapter coming soon :)
