Chapter 4 - Hiccup actually cries

I bathe.

I sit in a tub in the bathroom and pour water over me.

There goes the saliva, the dirt, the dried blood and the mud.

All gone.

I keep looking at the door, paranoid that Hiccup will walk in.

He wont, but just shut up and let me be paranoid.

Refreashed, I stand and dry myself off then I twist the towel around my hair then flip it up so it rests nicely on my hair. I grab my clothes--which have been washed--and I slip them on. I remove the towel from my hair and sigh as I see my matted mess of hair. I pick up the brush and I comb the knots out, until my hair looks normal again. Sighing, I head out the door and back up to Hiccup's room. The fire still flickers in the fireplace and Toothless and Ruthless are huddle next to it, their eyes closed, enjoying the warmth of the flames. Hiccup is at his desk, scribbling furiosuly, his tongue slightly sticking out of his mouth. The blood on him is gone, and he has new bandages on his neck and shoulder.

"What'cha doing?" I ask and walk over to him.

"You know, stuff."

"Im not a mind reader Hiccup; I don't know what you classify as stuff."

"Im planning."

"For...what?"

"Im planning for...something."

"Are you sure? You don't seem that certain."

"It's nothing, really."

"Can I see?" I take a step towrds him and he covers his arm over the page. "Hey, I just wanna have a look."

"Nope. Secret stuff."

I try to see over his arm, but he justs blocks it again with his arm.

"Secrets? From me? I think I'm gonna cry." I place the back of my hand onto my forehead in a dramatic position.

"Well, can you go cry down stairs?" he asks, placing an innocent smile on his face.

"If I see what you're planning."

He snorts. "Thats not gonna hap--"

I shove him with my shoulder and I snatch the piece of paper and I jump down the stairs, the landing slightly jaring my legs. I turn and quickly hide in the small closet, shutting the door behind me so I sit in complete darkness, except for the small light coming from the crack under the door. I hear a thump...thump as I hear Hiccup desending the stairs with his peg-leg.

"Okay Ember, you win, give it back."

I say nothing.

"Ember? Ember...wait, what is your last name?"

No reply.

"What if she loses it?" he says to himself. "Oh no." I then hear him run out of the house and into the night.

Curious, I light a small candle next to me and I put it up to the piece of paper.

I think I am either shocked or I am.....nope, just shocked.
