The silent kitten

Chapter 29

After that............heated session. Hiccup and I walked back to the village. It was a quiet walk. My face was still burning from what happened. I need to talk to someone about this another girl. Hmmmm maybe my sister....... no she will just laugh in my face and try to break mine and Hiccups friendship. The only other girl I can think of would be Astrid, but she hates Hiccup. *Sigh*

As we reach the village I look up and see Gothy's house and smile. If anybody would know what is going on with me it would be her. "I'll see you later Hic I have to go see Gothy" I tell Hiccup as I walk backwards. "Ok then I'll see you tomorrow" He says with a small smile. I run up to him real fast and peck his lips lightly. That explosion is still there. "See ya tomorrow Hic" I say winking at him and running off.

I smiled as I ran. His face when I kissed him was shocked at first but then turned into a goofy smile. I was really loving everything about my best friend. I continued to run past other Vikings on my way to Gothy's. They said hellos and waved to me as I ran past. I waved to them when I noticed them. I was waving at one Viking not seeing where I was going and ran into someone.

I look up and realize that I was laying on top of my siblings. "Hey bro-bro" I say as I haul him up. I grab my sister and bring her up to her feet. "Hey sis" I say as I adjust her helmet. "Where are you going in such a hurry?" Ruff asks. "Oh I'm on my way to see Gothy. I haven't seen her for a while and wanted to talk with her for a little bit" I tell them. They gave me these 'are you serious' looks.

"Why are you going to see the old bat?" Tuff asks looking confused. There was a loud thunk followed by Tuff holding his head in pain. "OW!! What did you do that for?" He asks as he turns to see Gothy standing behind him looking mad. "Hey Gothy" I say with a small wave. She smiles at me and beckons me forward. "You didn't have to hit me" Tuff says rubbing his head. "Ya she did and so will I" Ruff says and bangs his head with her fist. "Ow!" Tuff shouts in pain. They start to wrestle and I just sigh.

"Hey Gothy can we go back to your place and talk?" I ask the small elder. She gives me a small nod and smile. We walk back to her house in silence. When we arrived we got on her pully. I pulled the rope rising us up to her house. As we come up to a good height next to the main platform I walk off and wrap the rope around a hook. I hold my hand out to the small lady which she takes with a smile. I help her off the pully and she wraps her hand around my arm. I escort her up to her sand floor where we could talk.

When she finally sits down she starts to scribble into the sand. 'What can I do for you child?' She scribbles. "I have been having this weird feeling in my body lately" I tell her as I slowly walk over to the edge of the platform. "I feel this fluttery feeling in my stomach and my heart feels like it's going to pop out of my chest with how fast and hard it beats" I turn to the old woman who is smiling at me kindly. "What is wrong with me?" I ask the smiling woman.

She starts to scribble again as I walk closer to see. 'Does this happen around a certain boy?' "Ya it happens when I am with Hiccup" I say shyly. Her smile just grows and she scribbles some more. 'Child I believe that you are in love with Hiccup' I had to stare at the sand for a moment to be sure that i was reading it right. Me I am in love with Hiccup. My best friend. Love.

"But he is my best friend! I can't be in love with my best friend!" I exclaim. The little woman just smiles at me knowingly then scribbles some more. 'Most people who are in love are best friends first. As they continue to bond there are occasions where the bond changes form and turns to love. You child are in love with that boy. And he needs it since everyone seems to have a major disliking to him' I ponder what she scribbled.

"Everyone is starting to like him though" I tell her. 'Yes they may have started to like him but none of them love him' She scribbles. I look down at the village and see all of the Vikings going about their daily lives. It's true the only reason every is liking Hiccup is because he is doing so well in class by stopping those dragons. But I know that Hiccup would never kill a dragon. I couldn't kill a dragon that's for sure.

I contemplate whether I should ask her what its like to kiss someone but decide against it with a small blush. Gothy begins to scribble again. 'When you kiss it's like an explosion or a shock of electricity. When you are holding each other it's like you will never feel cold only the warmth that they supply. When you are with him it's like nothing else matters' My face burned a little more realizing that Gothy knew what I wanted to know.

"Thanks Gothy" I tell the elder lady. "I now know what it is that I feel. I just don't know if I am going to act upon it" tell her as I hug her. "I am going home now to think. And I hope everything works out" I tell her as I let her go. She gives me a kind smile and pats my hand. 'Any time my dear. You are the only child in this village that understands my writing and actually enjoys talking to me' She scribbles down. I smile at her and tell her "Any time Gothy I enjoy talking with you as well because you don't judge and you have so much to teach"

"I mean you have taught me how make all of your remedies, salves and other medicines that help the villagers. You have so much to teach it's just a matter of finding someone to teach them to" I tell her. She smiles and scribbles a little more. 'I believe that when it is time that you shall succeed me in this post' I look down and a small smile comes to my lips. "Then when I am done with this dragon training I will come up here to learn more from you" I smile down at the old woman.

She smiles and ushers me away. She prods me with her staff and pushes me towards the pully. "Ok ok ok I'm going!" I exclaim with a laugh. I walk onto the platform and lower myself down slowly. when I get down the rope gets pulled and the platform rises up again. I smile as the platform goes up. I don't want anything to happen to Gothy but she was right. There will be a time when she will be gone and there will have to be someone to take her place. I have always loved and adored Gothy since I was a child. She was the one to introduce me to books. She taught me how to make medicines. Especially a stomach tonic to fix up for my brother and sister who ate a lot of random things that caused stomach pains.
