Woah 25 reviews for the first chapter?! Yu guys are awesome!
I'm sorry it took me so long to update but my other stories kinda kept me occupied.
Hope you like chapter 2!
Hiccup was standing just a few feet away from the black waters, his hands clenched into fists.
Valka watched as Astrid broke from the group that was walking back inside the sanctuary.
The girl took her son's arm to turn him and she pretended not to look and be more absorbed in Stoick and Gobber's conversation.
The two young lovers' voices were low but after years and years of living in the wild nature her hearing had intensified.
"It's gonna be alright" Astrid said in a gentle voice.
Hiccup pouted "What if it isn't?"
The girl's expression darkened "It's not like you to give up this easily, Hic. Now we'll jump on those hatchlings and you'll save your best friend. End of the story. Now move your lazy butt"
The young Viking's mouth curled up in a little smile "Way to cheer me up, milady" he said.
Astrid smirked "I can't go easy on you, you know that"
Valka smiled at the scene.
They were so easy together that she couldn't help but feel glad that somehow another woman so strong and fierce had taken her place in her son's life in the last few years.
They made their way back inside and everyone was saddened upon seeing what damage Drago's attack had caused to the sanctuary.
Valka swallowed the bile that had gathered in her throat.
"Aww, they are so cute"
She turned to see the girl named Ruffnut smiling at a hatchling.
Tuffnut groaned "Ugh, please, don't be such a girl"
"You shut up! I AM a girl!"
"Yeah, you shut up!" Snotlout defended her.
"Right!" Fishlegs bit back.
Hiccup scoffed beside her "Don't worry. They're always like this" he assuered.
He slowly approached a baby who instantly crouched under his outstretched hand.
Valka smiled broadly at the ease her son had with dragons and at the trust they immediately showed towards him.
The others copied his movements and in a few minutes they all were on the babies' unstable backs.
The flight wasn't easy.
The little dragons were hard to ride with their frantic movements and hyperactive being.
When they finally reached Berk it was almost dawn.
The isle was very much different from what Valka remembered, but in that exact moment it wasn't a good different.
"No..." Hiccup said in a strangled voice.
The black Bewilderbeast was crouched on a hill, thousands of dragons flying around it in circles.
"He took ALL the dragons!" Fishlegs whined.
A strong determination appeared on Hiccup's face.
"Distract the Alpha!" he ordered "Keep its focus off of Toothless. I gotta get him back"
The others nodded.
Stoick and Astrid didn't look too convinced "Son, maybe it's not the best idea" her husband said "You saw what he tried to do"
Hiccup squinted his eyes "Everything's gonna be okay, dad" he reassured him "It wasn't Toothless' fault. Drago made him try to kill him, I know he would never hurt me intentionally"
His gaze then flicked to Astrid "And don't you look at me like that! We've been through things like this before"
Valka looked at the young woman.
Her lips were pursed and her expression was hard.
She half expected her to break down into tears like most girls would have done, but instead Astrid directed her dragon towards Hiccup's one, grabbed his neck and pulled him down for a kiss.
Hiccup stumbled a bit but then tilted his head and kissed her back, taking her face in his hands.
Valka made an appreciative sound and smiled.
Gobber raised and eyebrow "Live with them for a while and you'll find embarassing finding them tangled in the forge" he warned.
"Or in other places like Hiccup's room" said Stoick with a faint blush.
Valka bit back a laugh thinking of her husband walking in on Hiccup and Astrid doing whatever they were doing.
The chief clapped his hands "Okay, you two! Enough!"
The two young Vikings broke the kiss.
"Don't be reckless" Astrid said.
Hiccup smiled lopsidedly "You know I'm always careful"
The girl glared at him and he laughed nervously "I won't, don't worry" then he turned to his friends "Ready, guys?"
I really enjoyed writing Valka's point of view ^.^
