THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS!
(Even though I know my writing's still kinda rubbish.)
I just watched Rtte S6 again and I have to say -
It was perfect.
There was just one thing that slightly dissapointed me...
(Will be revealed at the end of this chapter)
Anyways, let's go on with the story!
Chapter 2
The journey to Berk was longer than what Hiccup has expected. Every second felt like an hour, a day, a century… Thor, he wanted a break.
But no, he thought to himself. If everyone else can hold on, I can too.
"Fishlegs, how far it is until we reach Berk?" Snotlout asked annoyedly, breaking the silence. "We've been flying for - oh I don't know - A WHOLE DAY? "
Hiccup coughed silently in the background, noticing Astrid's worried glare.
"Well... I think it's actually only a few hours," Fishlegs corrected.
"Listen. I'm hungry. And tired. And sleepy. And… well, point is, I need a rest, Fishface!" Snotlout shouted.
"SNOTLOUT! Nobody is complaining, except for you! Not even the twins!"
"I'm not complaining, I'm just telling the truth!"
Flying away from the argument between the riders, Hiccup could feel his headache getting worse. But he certainly didn't want anyone to worry, especially not Astrid.
"The sooner we get to Berk, the sooner we rest," Fishlegs replied.
"The sooner we rest, the sooner we get to Berk!" Snotlout argued. Seeing that Fishlegs won't change his mind, he rolled his eyes and turned to the twins.
"Give me the chicken. I need it for dinner."
Tuffnut gasped as he wrapped the Chicken in his arms. "How DARE you! The chicken is not to be eaten!"
Hiccup couldn't focus on where he was going. As the arguing continued, the noise and the altitude made his head spin in circles. He shook his head a couple of times, hoping it would clear out.
Astrid noticed his sudden uncomfortableness. He wasn't concentrating on where he's going, and he's shaking his head around like crazy.
"Hiccup?" She tested. No response.
"Hey, Hiccup? Hello?" She asked louder. He still stayed silent.
"Um… is something wrong with Hiccup?" Ruff said as she and the other riders turned around.
Hiccup's vision was blurring. Loud buzzing sounds echoed in his ears. His whole body felt weak and unable to respond.
"HICCUP!" Astrid shouted, "CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
Hiccup could hear a faint call of his name before his consciousness suddenly slipped away.
Then, all that was left was pain - and darkness.
"NO!" Astrid shouted as she watched Hiccup's unconscious body tumble down the sky.
"Snotlout! Get Toothless!" She ordered, "I'm going after Hiccup!"
She gave a signal to Stormfly as they plunged down the sky at the speed of light.
"Come on Hiccup, where are you?" She thought worriedly.
Without hesitation, she leapt off Stormfly and dove into the waves.
Hiccup was sinking rapidly. His metal leg pushed him deeper and deeper, and his face was as pale as ever.
Astrid wasn't a good swimmer - but for Hiccup, she had to try. Kicking her legs as hard as she could, she pulled Hiccup by the arm and held him firmly around the waist. Looking up at the surface, she noticed how Stormly was already on her way down the ocean. Good girl.
She grabbed onto her dragon as the three of them rose to the surface.
"Hiccup! HICCUP! ANSWER ME!" Astrid shouted in panic. She didn't know what to do. It was like when they freed the Submaripper - seeing Hiccup's unconscious body when they pulled him out of the diving bell…
Diving bell!
"Snotlout! Bring Toothless over! NOW!"
They laid Hiccup flat on a nearby land as Hookfang arrived with Toothless below him. The Night Fury immediately sprinted towards his human, knowing exactly what to do. He started licking Hiccup by his neck, which would hopefully get him to breathe again (like it always did in the past).
"Hiccup you son of a half troll," Astrid thought as she knelt by his side. "I knew you were sick. I knew you weren't supposed to be flying. And now you've gotten yourself into this mess. Gosh, for once in your life, can't you please just listen to me? …"
Suddenly, Hiccup's eyes snapped open as a wave of pain struck his chest. He coughed violently, trying to get all the water out of his lungs.
"Hiccup! Oh thank gods," Astrid sighed in relief. "Don't you ever scare me like that again!"
"What… happened?" Hiccup asked as he attempted to sit up.
"Hmm, let me see… YOU FELL OFF YOUR DRAGON AND ALMOST LANDED IN VALHALLA. Yup, that's what happened," Snotlout replied.
"I fell off Toothless? But h-how..."
"One word Hiccup, one word: You. Are. Sick." Astrid replied sternly.
"Umm, I'm pretty sure that's 3 words -"
"Hiccup, no more flying. Not until you're ready. I'll send a T-mail over to Stoick informing him that we'll be late for a few days."
"Astrid's right. For now, we'll just stay here. There's a cave nearby that should be able to fit us all in," Fishlegs added. "It's getting late. Let's all get some sleep."
The riders walked towards their resting place for the night. Hiccup fell asleep instantly, without eating any dinner. Astrid watched Hiccup as he slept peacefully.
"Get better soon, Dragon Boy," she whispered as she kissed him softly on the cheek.
She could've sworn that she saw him smile.
There ya go!
Are there any improvements from the last chapter?
I hope so!
Ok - the one thing I was dissapointed about was the amount of Whump in the season. I thought there was gonna be a HUGE amount of Hiccup-being-Whumped, according to the trailer, but in the actual thing Hiccup never gets hurt. And that sucks!Anyways...
See y'all in the next chapter :)
