As I was reading PM's this morning ive gotten mixed reactions. some say why the hell would you do/write that, others actually showed hatred to Snotlout. so its a good thing as well as a bad. some PM's weren't pretty at all, but that's ok, because whatever I write happens for a reason, except the sex chapters, they just get put in because that's all I could write haha. anyway glad 2/15 of you liked chapter 12, now I need a somewhat better approach.
Three days later
00000
Its only been a few days since the ship incident and already Hiccup is going through the aggression and guilt faze of his temper tantrum. yes everyone is upset still but that doesn't mean yelling at sheep or punching walls or anything like that. he wouldn't even ride toothless, Astrid had to do it for him. Sometimes she just doesn't know whats going to happen next when it comes to Hiccup. Heather left three days ago out of rage and is going to try doing something with a axe Hiccup gladfully gave her.
Astrid steps outside, to just take a walk. she knows she needs the air. ever since the incident everyone has decided to go into a state of panic. she looks at the one piece of wood that has the words "the end is near" painted on it. the haddock men are preparing for everything, and the only thing Astrid has to do is not hurt herself. what happened to the old days where she lead things?
Stoick sees Astrid walking throughout the streets and decides to join her, she waves at him and gestures for him to join her.
" , what the hell is going on? what happened to our strong people?" Astrid asks, and Stoick sighs, shaking his head."After everything happened a few days ago, everyone lost hope, except for a selected few. but very few" Astrid glares at him. only a few? this place could kill dragons and raid others but as soon as someone dies everyone turns into cowards?
"And these selected few are?" Astrid says, meaning to be in question, but even she cant hide the little bit of her aggravated tone. "You, me, Hiccup, valka and our three best warriors" Stoick says, and it is embarrassing. a seven on god knows what, which means they have almost no chance.
Astrid tries thinking of what to say but they are interrupted by a very scared messenger.
"Stoick! there almost, snotlout, hes coming!" The boy shouts and Stoick glares at the sky. well at least now everyone is here.
everyone is at the center of the village, obviously waiting for Stoick to come and say something about this, which he comes. Hiccup is standing up there with him, and they hug, because its all about to go down, and by respect they call it the final hug. Stoick sits in his chair, ready for Hiccup to explain himself first. Toothless is of course chasing a rabbit that leads him to Hiccup, which of course he wants to fly. damn dragon.
"People of berk, war is upon us, and it seems like your going to let them win" Hiccup starts, and some of the villagers get a little pissed off by that, but Hiccup shrugs it off, its now or never.
"you think I want to fight? no I don't, but you know what I am, to protect all of you" he continues, and only one looks like they are paying attention.
"but even I need someone to watch my back, sometimes more than one person" a few more look at him, and Stoick is just listening, if Hiccup survives this, he is indeed going to be chief soon, he may as well how to make big speeches.
"and yes im scared, but im at least going to try to make some kind of fight" around maybe half the crowd looks interested, the others don't care. well, Hiccup thinks to himself, one last shot
"The man who took our great friend from us is leading the men trying to kill you, are you all just going to let him step on us, or are you going to rise against?" Hiccup shouts and that's when the crowd lights up, like putting extra wood in a fire.
Hiccup smiles as the villagers rush to get ready, because who knows exactly how long they have.

"Hiccup, are you sure you are ready this?" Astrid asks, watching Hiccup prepare a new accessory to his jacket, which looks like a grappling hook. Toothless got a brand new saddle, with a few new modifications, with a bow and arrow added on to the right and left sides. Toothless seems pretty happy that he will get to fly, that's really the only thing he seems to care about.
"no im not, but that doesn't mean I wont do it, im doing this to protect you Astrid" He says, and its true. if Astrid could leave he would go with her. Brenda was one of the few that got to leave, everyone else must stay and take this on, except for Astrid, Hiccup doesn't want Astrid to fight unless she needs to.
"what are you going to do?" Astrid asks. Hiccup really isn't a killer, so she knows there isn't much he will do, unless hes scared or pissed off.
"Im going to make him leave, do my best not to kill him" Hiccup says, and Astrid sighs in relief.
" Why is that such a good thing?" Hiccup asks and Astrid laughs, then gives him a kiss on the cheek, he just loves acting cute enough for her to jump him, but she knows not to that... not now at least
"I thought that he changed my cute and sweet little Hiccup" Astrid laughs, and Hiccup hugs her, putting his Head in her shoulder, trying not to cry. he never wanted to have to fight anyone, and he just now realizes he doesn't want to fight snotlout. he doesn't want the chance to want to kill snotlout, he doesn't want to hurt anyone but what happens if he chickens out and just leaves berk forever? that's right, everyone will hate him again.
"I just don't know what to do Astrid" Hiccup sheds a few tears, and Astrid puts her hand on the back of his head, and cradles it. after a rather bad few weeks, just get this over with and have snotlout leave forever. why do things never get lucky anymore? after they got married and had Brenda, everything has been going down hill, and it needs to stop right now.
"Your just going to have to do whats right" Astrid says and he thinks for a second. what if he injures him and takes him into prison? that would work perfectly, but then theres Drago. he most likely wont go down without a fight, but that's Stoicks problem.

nightfall
00000
Most of berks people stand in a huge formation waiting for their rivals to show up. Hiccup ad Stoick are standing in front, Hiccup wearing his mask and sort of upgraded suit. stoick sits in his normal clothing, and Toothless stands right next to Hiccup.
right when Hiccup shows a sign of relief they notice a ship docking...
