Well i decided to make a three chapters in three days streak. im on a roll, and so is Hiccup. so summing it all up, Snotlout defeats Hiccup, Hiccup fakes death, and Snotlout is coming back. wow, much action. anyway, looks like the action part is almost over, so fluff seems to be coming soon. but with nothing else to say, to the chapter

"Now that is why you lost" Erit says, as Hiccup swings a sword similar to his own at a carved wooden man. Hiccup pants, getting a little work out out of this. His chest still makes it harder to fight, or walk for the matter. he cant wait to put back on his suit, because wearing only shorts is a little uncomfortable.
"What do you mean by that?" Hiccup asks, a little offended. Erit is a master of sword fighting, that's how he was so successful at dragon hunting. he always got into sword fights, and he always won, but he denies to fight Snotlout, stating it started as Hiccups fight, and it has to end that way. even if Hiccup never wanted it to be his fight.
"Your feet aren't in a good position, and your grip on the sword is lower than it should be" Erit says, and Hiccup fixes it, and tries again, finding it easier, as the sword goes through the wood. "See there you go" Erit says, as Hiccup puts the sword through the ground, and sits on the bench with Erit.
"Why wont you help me with Snotlout?" Hiccup asks, and the only reason he does is because Snotlout threatens Ruffnuts safety. "Its not my fight to get in the middle of, your going to do fine, now that you got your stance ready" Erit says, and he isn't wrong, Hiccup is getting better at it. its been four days of sitting here without Astrid, and he regrets every minute of it.
"I just, don't like leaving my family, that's all" Hiccup says and Erit sighs, standing up and staring at the setting sun, almost nightfall.
"I had to do it once too, and its tough, but we had to do this to lure your prey in the trap" Erit says, making a reference from dragon trapping. there most likely is another way they could have done this, but He guesses its to insure that everyone believes it. lifa calls erit into the house just as the sky goes dark.
Hiccup walks towards the house and grabs his saddle and walks towards Toothless. "hey Bud, wanna go for a ride?" Hiccup asks and he gets up, happier than he has seen him. Lifa comes out and asks what hes doing, and Hiccup replies simply, "Just going for a ride, don't worry im not blowing our cover" He says as he puts the saddle on the dragon. he puts it on and they take off.
The night sky is a calming view, and they have the night to cover them as he sees Berk. he doesn't want to tell anyone hes alive, but he needs to see if he can see Astrid from a distance, to make sure shes ok.
he lands on top of his house, thankfully not making a noise while doing so. He quickly gets off Toothless and lays down on the roof. but the door startles him, Astrid.
Astrid walks out to where he always sat, right on the edge of the cliff, where the sun always sets. she sits, looking at the water, with her hair down her back, Hiccup just watches.
"why did you have to leave me so soon? i cant stop thinking about you" Astrid says, and Hiccup gets a bad feeling in his stomach, like he was stabbed right there. he sits up, and watches as she watches the night sky.
"If only you were with me, just one more time, so wouldn't miss you as much" she says, obviously a lie. she would miss him if he left to another island for an hour. but this isn't right, he shouldn't be doing this. he should go down there and kiss her, but she would freak out wouldn't it? because everyone thinks he died, but that is soon to change.
Astrid gets up, and walks back inside the house somehow missing the view of Hiccup from the roof, as he didn't even try to hide himself. Toothless gets up, signaling its time to go. Hiccup sheds a tear, not wanting to leave, but does anyway. he cant wait for Snotlout to come as Hiccup wants Payback.
Hiccup slowly flies towards his temporary home.

the next morning

"Hiccup, get the hell up" Erit says, hitting his friend in the stomach. Hiccup grunts, and throws his pillow at him. Erit laughs as Hiccup gets up. Hiccup just wishes he culd have stayed with Astrid, not that Erits house is bad, but he wants to stay with his wife.
"Oh yeah Ruffnuts here, wanna say hi? maybe freak her out?" Erit says and Hiccup nods. Ruffnut doesn't know Hiccup lived through all this. Erit sits back down, with Ruffnut and lifa, as they sit eating breakfast. Hiccup slowly opens the door, and heads to the main room.
when ruffnut sees him, she jumps out of her chair, spilling her breakfast, and falls in the process. he laughs, as Ruffnut stares at Hiccup. Erit helps her up and she stands there, staring at Hiccup.
"I think this is the longest you looked at me" Hiccup says and she smiles, and runs to give him a hug. "So, mister, what happened to you being dead?" Ruffnut asks and Hiccup laughs.
"Well, long story short, i lived" He says and they all laugh. he sits down, as Ruffnut, still in shock, quietly sits there. "But babe, you cant tell anyone that he is alive, or it could ruin this" Erit says, and she slowly nods, he cant wait to see the look on Astrid when he beats Snotlout, and returns to her. or Stoicks face, or anyones face.
Hiccup gets up and walks out, because Ruffnut's water broke, and he doesn't want to be a part of. Hiccup sits next to a sleeping Toothless. he wonders how that dragon sleeps so much, its unhealthy. At least it gives Hiccup time to think. like how his life went from being unnoticed, to being a hero, to being Astrids husband, to being "dead", soon to be a hero again.
why does every time something good happens to him something happens that's twice as bad?
"Toothless, why does life got to be so difficult?" he asks, and Toothless opens his eyes, glaring at the boy. Hiccup is pretty sure if Toothless could talk he would say "Man up and stop living in the past" but he cant, so he has to listen and not say anything. Hiccup just hopes Snotlout comes sooner, this needs to get done with, hes tired of acting dead, tired of being weak, and tired of people saying Snotlout beat Hiccup. hes tired of it all. he cant wait until he gets to be seen kicking Snotlouts ass.
Erit walks out, with a new shirt on, and sits down next to Hiccup. "Well, I will never do that again" Erit says, gesturing to the baby Ruffnut just had. he just had a baby boy, and he is sitting with Hiccup.
"Erm, shouldn't you be with ruff?" Hiccup asks, and Erit shrugs his shoulders. "Lifa and Ruff are talking about it, so I came out here where the only other guy is, well hopefully your a guy" Erit says, laughing at his own joke. Hiccup laughs and gives him a pat on the back. Hiccup likes Erit much more than the last Boyfriend Ruff had. and Erit is really great at making someone laugh, he just wishes Astrid was here to laugh them. He just wishes he could tell Astrid he was still alive, but sadly he cant, yet.
Hiccup is just about to say something, but he sees one of Snotlouts ships pass by...
