Chapter 28 - Snoggletog 

I yawn, my body shivering. I open my eyes slowly to see my breath come out as a fog as it passes out my lips. I sit up slowly, seeing the small sprinkles of white glittering out the window. I throw my blanket off me and look out, smiling as a snow flake lands on my cheek.

"Snow" I say with a smile.

I saunter down stairs, a smile on my face. I cook up some warm soup to have, with some help from Ruthless. She lights the fire for me, to heat the soup.

After finishing it, I grab a thick coat before walking outside.

The chill of the air bites my skin, and I grit my teeth. I love snow; but it drives me crazy.

Ruthless warbles beside me, looking around. 'Where are we going?'

"To find Hiccup" I say, walking through the plaza and surprised to see quite a lot of people there. "Is there a problem with that?"

She snorts. 'Several.'

I roll my eyes and continue on my way, rubbing my arms to keep them warm.

In a few days after returning from Arrow-head island, it's started to snow. Strange, isn't it? What's also strange is that Astrid isn't well yet. I just want her to be okay. To be healthy. To be alive. If she dies, I'm blaming Harm.

"Ember!" Calls a voice, and I spin around and smile as I see Hiccup jogging towards me.

My heart sinks in my chest as I see him wearing his fathers old fur cloak. I know it hurts him just to look at it, put he's pushing through the pain and smiling.

"Hey Hiccup" I say, smiling. "What's that you're wearing?"

"Oh" he says as if it's nothing. "Just a coat. It was my dads. It's nice and warm."

"Looks it too."

He rubs his hands together and blows out a gust of fog. "Snoggletog soon. I'll have to help put decorations up, and--"

"Hold it right there Chief" I say, raising my hand towards his face. "That will be taken care off. You don't need to help. You've already got a billion things on your mind Hiccup; you just need to relax."

He snorts, kicking some snow with his foot. "I can't relax. I can't ever relax."

"Try to..." I say, stepping forward and ruffling his hair to get the snowflakes out.

He scrunches his face up as I do, and I laugh softly. His hair is so soft, so silky. It's the most beautifulest hair I've ever seen or felt.

"Since I have this supposed 'free time'" he says "what are we going to do?"

"Well" I smile, rocking back and forth on the balls of my feet. "I thought we could go for a flight? It's beautiful above the clouds at this point of time."

Ruthless beams up at me, and I scratch her head. Hiccup nods, excitement in his eyes. Toothless trots up beside us, giving us a gummy smile.

"Hey bud! We're going on a flight" Hiccup grins, patting Toothless on the snout.

His dragon warmbles with excitement, and I laugh.

"Come on" I quip. "This way."

Hiccup and I smile, leaning up against a tree right beside a cliff, looking up at the stars. Its stopped snowing, but now the ground is covered in a thick layer of the stuff.
