Chapter 10 - Banished

I am going to investigate.

Luna had bruises when I first saw her, and she was in tears. She bought some illegal mead and she said she was forced to.

My theory; Abusive parents.

This strikes me. Parents are meant to be the ones that standby you, that protect you, that make you feel better about things.

But abusive parents is just wrong.

I have just finished training the riders about reaction times and dodging fireballs.

I am now rubbing some ointment onto my already burnt hand because a fireball just nicked it. I didn't really care, but Hiccup almost had a fit.

He's been acting...strange lately.

"--accident. It wasn't like I was aiming for Embers gorgeous hand, it just got in the way. It was your fault for--"

"Shut your mouth Snotlout or I will shut it for you" spits Hiccup.

See what I mean.

He's acting...different.

A Snotlout rolls his eyes. "Make me."

Hiccup sighs impatiently, hanging the shield back my the rack. He turns to Snotlout, raising an eyebrow. His arms are tense, and I can't help but think that he'll punch Snotlout.

And I will laugh if he does.

"Who am I Snotlout?" he asks.

"My annoying little cousin."

Hiccups jaw tightens. "I'm chief of Berk. I can kick you off this island if you just simply annoy me. And guess what Snotlout, you are annoying me."

"Y-You wouldn't kick me off the island" says Snotlout. "W-Would you?"

He shrugs his shoulders. "I always keep my promises. And I promise that I will."

Snotlout laughs nervously.

Astrid puts her hand on Hiccups shoulder. "Hey, settle down. You are stressed and angry; don't take it all out on Snotlout."

Hiccup groans, rubbing his temples. "I've been having massive headaches. I need to lie down."

Astrid give a him a kiss on the cheek and he slightly smiles, but I can tell he's only doing it to show her that he is okay.

"You look jealous" says Tuffnut, sitting next to me.

"I'm not. You must be blind."

"I can't be blind. If I was blind, I wouldn't know how ugly Ruff is."

"HEY!" she shouts from the other side of the academy.

I snort. "That's funny since you two are related and you look alike."

"Yeah, but I got the good looks."

I snort again. "Tuff, has anyone ever said that to you?"

"No."

"Hm...I wonder why."

He gives me a glare. "Just cause you are pretty, doesn't mean you have to be mean to us about our looks."

"Er...thanks?"

"Don't mention it."

He walks away, his head held high. He doesn't watch where he is going and he runs straight into a wooden dummy. I roll my eyes, rubbing the last of the ointment on my hand. The burn will heal nicely; just will take longer than what it would of in my Wildsoul form.
