You Are My Destiny
Chapter 2
Hear Me Now
Hiccup awakes from his slumber, feeds Toothless, and goes outside to enjoy the weather.
At the Hofferson household, Astrid is already awake, ready to spend the day with Hiccup. Having already fed Stormfly, Astrid goes outside and starts to walk to Hiccup's house, when all of a sudden, Hookfang and Snotlout walk up to Astrid.
"Hey, Astrid. Wanna hangout today?" The cocky, strong Viking-boy asked Astrid.
"Sorry. I'm hanging out with Hiccup today, maybe some other time." Astrid said to Snotlout.
"Come on! You always hangout with that runt! Come with me, besides I'm way better than him."
"I said NO! Now, leave me alone!"
"Come on, Astrid!"
Snotlout then grabs Astrid's hand and drags her away, trying to put her on Hookfang.
"Let go of ME, Snotlout! Or I'll kill you."
"You heard the lady, let her go."
Snotlout turns around to see a very angry Hiccup, clenching his fists and glaring at Snotlout.
"Yeah, what are you going to do about it?" Snotlout said to Hiccup, poking Hiccup in the chest with every word he said.
Hiccup looks at Astrid, who is still stuck in Snotlout's grasp.
"I'm going to tell you again, let go of Astrid or I will kill you." Hiccup said with anger in his eyes.
"No." Snotlout said in a cocky tone.
Then all of a sudden, Hiccup screams at the top of his lungs and attacks Snotlout.
He hits Snotlout with a few punches and kicks, and then throws him into Hookfang, causing Snotlout to be set on fire.
Hiccup jumps on him and puts Snotlout in a chokehold.
Snotlout easily reverses and tries to hit Hiccup, until Hiccup grabs his fist and squeezes it until blood comes out of Snotlout's hand.
"Hiccup, let go!" Fishlegs yells at Hiccup.
Hiccup ignores Fishlegs and chokes Snotlout until blood comes out of his mouth.
It takes Fishlegs and Gobber to pull Hiccup off of Snotlout. Hiccup glares at Snotlout, and walks up to him.
"STAY AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND, UNDERSTAND?" Hiccup yells at Snotlout, angrily. Snotlout nods with the little strength he has left.
"GOOD!" Hiccup yells at Snotlout, before he kicks him in the head.
Hiccup runs off angrily, with tears in his eyes. Astrid runs after him, worried about what he could do to himself.
Astrid follows Hiccup, but eventually loses him. She eventually finds him near the ocean, glaring out at the ocean.
"Hic-Hiccup? A-Are you ok?"
Hiccup ignores Astrid and continues to look out at the ocean.
"Hiccup please, answer me." Astrid said, worried about Hiccup's well-being.
"Everything I do is wrong, even when it's right. And back then no one even listened to me. Now do you hear me?" Hiccup said to Astrid, confused as to what he just said.
"What are you saying, Hiccup?"
"It's not what I'm saying, it's what I'm going to sing to you."
(I think this song fits Hiccup perfectly.)
(Hear Me Now by Hollywood Undead)
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I wear my crown of thorns and pull the knife out my chest
I keep searching for something that I never seem to find
But maybe I won't because I left it all behind
Now I'm stuck with this and that'll never change
Always a part of me until the very last day
Where to go from here? What road to travel on? I spent my whole life choosing and I always chose wrong.
Will I try to have the will to be alive? Will I try because I've never seen the light?
Lowered to the ground and it's now, you see You spent your whole life taking the best of me
Where'd you go? Where's your home? How'd you end up all alone? Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound
Hard to breathe when you're underground
Can you hear me now? Hear me now
How low can I keep pretending to be? That all the stars in the sky could mean something to me
Heaven will open up if I live on my knees
A man of many words but a man of few deeds
Walking these streets, so absent of hope
A pillow of concrete, a man with no home
Lend him a hand then we're walking the way Leave the virtue of pity, but we live with the shame
So scared to dream in a world with no sunlight when you wake up, you know it's darker than last night
Quickly we forget sacrifice gone by
Born to walk away, been walking my whole life
Where'd you go? Where's your home? How'd you end up all alone? Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound Hard to breathe when you're underground Can you hear me now? Hear me now
Look into my eyes and I see,
What do I see?
Nothing at all.
Take another look around me
What do I see?
Nothing at all
Where'd you go? Where's your home? How'd you end up all alone? Can you hear me now?
There's no light, there's no sound Hard to breathe when you're underground Can you hear me now? Hear me now
Can you hear me? Hear me now.
When Hiccup was done singing, he looked at Astrid.
"Don't you see, Astrid? I'm nothing to anyone, even after I defeated the Red Death. It's days like these that I want to-" Hiccup was going to say, until Astrid tackled him.
"DON'T SAY IT!" Astrid screamed at him.
"What, I really-"
"NO! DON'T!"
"Astrid, I want to die! Ok, you can't stop me! I've tried to kill myself. Many times, and this is going to be one of them!"
Astrid stares at Hiccup wide-eyed, screams at him and begins to punch him.
"HOW DARE YOU TRY TO KILL YOURSELF!? DON'T YOU REALIZE I'LL MISS YOU? Why are you acting like this, all of a sudden? Don't YOU CARE?" Astrid screams at Hiccup, crying in the process.
Hiccup stares at Astrid wide-eyed. He never really thought of that till now. He never thought Astrid would miss him.
Hiccup then glares back at the ocean, and then screams at the ocean.
"WHY? Why did you make me this way? What did I ever do to deserve this? You know and they know I should be dead by now!"
Astrid grabs Hiccup and begins to shake him by his shoulders.
"Don't you see, Hiccup? This is why I said I need you. You are so important to me and everyone else on the island. You have been such a big help to this island. If it wasn't for you, we would have killed Toothless and the other dragons. Come on, let's go back. They're probably looking for us."
Hiccup takes Astrid's hand and walks back to Berk with her, hand in hand.
"How many times have you tried to kill yourself, Hiccup?"
"About 10 times, why?"
"I don't want you to do that again. Trying to kill yourself. You're a special person, to me and the village."
"Why? I don't belong here, Astrid. It would be better if I was gone."
Astrid looks at Hiccup, with tears in her eyes.
"Don't say that! Trust me; I would kill myself if you died, just so I could be with you."
Hiccup, horrified at the thought of Astrid dead, apologizes to Astrid and hugs her. They walk back to Berk, under the starry night sky.
