Chapter I

Y/n pov

I inhaled the salty air, then watched as the water splashed onto the side of the ship, my stomach is upset. But im not sure if I'm sea sick or just really nervous. Usually I enjoy traveling, but not this time. I've been traveling across the sea for days trying to get back to my hometown, Berk. See I once lived their with my family and friends. But it all changed when my parents passed away when I just turned ten years old. Everything was perfect till that day, ever since then my whole life went downhill. There was this one guy I was especially best friends with though, his name is Hiccup. Or should I say Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. We had been best friends since we we're born. Our family's we're old friends, when my only family died they took me in until I could be adopted. Nobody wanted me, probably because I would be a teen soon. Months went by and I got adopted by another couple, a king and queen. They lived far across the ocean at a kingdom called Pameaburg, I was forced to leave behind the only family I knew. The king and the queen who adopted me, could not have their own kids unfortunately. It was their royal duty to continue the family line though, so they adopted me for the future of their kingdom. I would be married at eighteen to a complete stranger. Somehow the universe guided them to me, and who knows the fuck why. This universe must hate my guts.

After years of missing my best friend, Hiccup. The time came for my eighteenth birthday, I knew life was just going to get worse from there. But I sucked up my feelings about the marriage and met the man. His name was Hans, he's from this kingdom I've never heard of, from the moment I met him, I disliked him. It's not that I didn't try to like him, but I knew something was weird about him. Then I was right, the sweet and nice man eventually, flipped a switch. It was all an act to impress me, Hans is pure evil inside and out. Once he figured out I was not falling for his game, little by little I would become more and more scared of him. It started by yelling and verbal abuse, then it got physical. He would push me, then he started to hit me over the littlest things. Over time I couldn't take it anymore. I am terrified of my own fiance, this stranger controlled me into this insecuritie of trusting love. The day before the wedding I ran away, the things he did held on my shoulders it overwhelmed me. I snuck on a ship that was leaving to Berk. Now here I am watching as the ship slowly gets closer and closer to the Island I was raised. It's been a while, eight years since I've been at Berk. But I am nervous to see everyone. Or if they'll even want to see me.

There's also this horrible feeling in my chest, I'm terrified my adopted parents and fiance will hunt me down. I'd have to return and be married, then I'll be stuck with Hans the rest of my life. I tried to keep the good memories of Hiccup and I to distract me from the headache I've probably caused back home. They must know by now I ran away. But of course, there were also bad days between Hiccup and I, all friends do. I recalled the day I left Berk, we were all disappointed. But I always held close the drawing he made of me. Hiccup is an amazing artist, he used me as a reference all the time. Last I was at Berk, Dragons had been a huge problem for as long as I could remember. In Pameaburg dragons were not a problem, rarely we had dragon encounters. I've missed so much in Hiccup's life, I hope I can catch up with him well. I couldn't think of no where else to go, Berk was my only option.

I miss the silly kids who would run around playing all day. One thing I remember is going to the market with Hiccup and buying Meal to drink. Meal is a strong, fermented drink made from honey. We loved to share. Good times, oh and our spot. Hiccup and I had a secret spot behind a waterfall. It was very well hidden, the view was amazing up their. That's where we would spend most of our time. I still remember the day we found that spot, we we're running around in the forest. I slipped and fell into the water, but when I came up I was on the other side of the waterfall. Hiccup came after me, we discovered it together. We swore not one other soul would know about it, I wonder if he still kept the promises we made. More and more flashbacks came back as the ship got even more closer to Berk.

Eight years back

I would spend weeks crying under the waterfall, missing my parents. Hiccup gave me space, I knew it was hard for him to leave me be sometimes. He would come see me and make me feel better. Hiccup's father Cheif Stoick let me live with them. Months went by though, and my tears slowly went away. Crying everyday isn't healthy, I need to move on. But Stoick had informed me this morning that a couple in this kingdom called Pameaburg, were looking into adopting me. I was scared of leaving my home, I was vulnerable and started crying. I snuck away into the waterfall, little did I know Hiccup had followed me.

"Y/n-" Hiccup says coming from the entrance of the waterfall,
"Oh, hey- um I was just getting some air." I lie wipping my tears.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"Did your dad tell you?" I ask trying to hold back tears.
He nodded his head sadly and sat down next to me,
"Hiccup, I'm scared." I say.
He didn't say anything, but he wrapped his arms around me. I cried on his shoulder.
I felt panicked,
"What if I have to leave Berk and I have to say bye to you-" before I could finish my sentence Hiccup cut me off,
"Your not going anywhere, Y/n your my best friend I won't ever let this happen." He says.
I stopped crying and blushed a little,
Hiccup isn't just a friend to me, he's my first crush. I felt safe with him. Hiccup is really supportive when im sad, he always tries to make me happy by doing the most silliest things.
