You Are My Destiny
Chapter 3
2 weeks later
Hiccup and Toothless are awake. Hiccup wonders if his dad will be back soon. Hiccup ignores the thought and walks out of bed, to the bathroom.
Hiccup takes a shower and heads over to Gobber's workshop to help him in any way possible.
"Eh, Hiccup! You feelin alright, laddy?" Gobber said, still concerned about yesterday.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just forget about it, okay? I'm not in the mood to talk." Hiccup said in an angry tone.
"Sheesh, what's bugging your backside?" Gobber said in his normal tone of voice.
"Everyone. Every time I'm with Astrid, everyone keeps staring at me, like I'm crazy.
"I didn't even mean to hurt Snotlout… wait, yeah I did. And now, everyone is ignoring me, like I'm evil or something."
"Hiccup, you aren't evil."
"Thanks, Gobber" Hiccup said, feeling much happier than before.
"You're just crazy."
"Gee, THANKS, Gobber." Hiccup said sarcastically.
"You're welcome!"
Hiccup continues to help Gobber, and then leaves to go find Astrid.
Hiccup looks everywhere in the village but can't seem to find Astrid. He then decides to go look for her in the woods. He finds her sitting on a big rock.
Hiccup walks up to Astrid and hugs her, but no response. He then tries to tickle her, but nothing happens.
"Astrid, are you—"
Hiccup turns Astrid's body around to find blood running down the side of her face.
"ASTRID! OH MY GOD!" Hiccup begins to scream, trying to wake Astrid up.
"SHE CAN'T BE DEAD! SHE CAN'T BE!"
Hiccup screams so loud, that the other villagers find Hiccup screaming his lungs out.
"Get the Healer!" one of the older Vikings yells.
"Hiccup, calm down! Let's get you home." Fishlegs tells Hiccup.
"CALM DOWN! MY GIRLFRIEND IS DEAD AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWM!" Hiccup screams at Fishlegs.
Hiccup runs toward his house, with anger and tears in his eyes. He slams the door to his house and locks it. He runs up to his room and cries on his pillow.
"I can't do this…" Hiccup sobs. He looks towards Toothless and saddles up.
"Come on, Toothless. Let's go"
Toothless obliges and flies away, headed for the tallest mountain in Berk…
Meanwhile, at the Healer's house…
The healer determines that Astrid is not dead, because she still has a heartbeat. The healer grabs some herbs and rubs them on Astrid' wounds.
"AHHHHH!" Astrid screams, as her eyes fly wide open.
"What happened?" Astrid asks the healer.
"From the looks of your wounds, I would have to say a wild dragon attacked you."
Astrid looks at everyone around her and realizes that Hiccup is not there with her.
"Wait a minute… Where's Hiccup?"
Everyone looks around them for Hiccup, when all of a sudden, Fishlegs comes running in.
"What's wrong?"
"Hiccup took off with Toothless! He's headed for Raven's fall!"
"WHAT? HE PROMISED HE WOULDN'T KILL HIMSELF!" Astrid screams, in a mix of anger and sadness.
She leaps off the healer's table and runs toward Stormfly. She takes off for Raven's fall…
Hiccup is on the peak of Raven's fall. Hiccup told Toothless to stay back and Toothless obliged. (Stupid Dragon!)
Hiccup is about ready to jump, when all of a sudden he hears dragon wings.
"Toothless, get away! She's gone now and she'll never come back!"
"Hiccup, turn around! I'm alive! I'm right here!"
Hiccup turns around and sees Astrid is alive! He starts to cry and runs toward her. He hugs her and cries on her shoulder.
"Shhh, Hiccup. It's okay, baby. It's okay. I'm right here. It's okay."
Hiccup stops crying and kisses Astrid on the lips.
"Don't ever scare me like that again! I'm sorry I tried to kill myself but don't get hurt again. Please?"
"I promise."
Hiccup and Astrid walk home, hand in hand again, under the same night sky they were under before…
