Grimmel's Love?

3. They don't know...

Astrid knew he was there. She knew he was looking at her. She just felt it.

'Do I still have this poison in me?'

'Is he going to control me again, like his dragons?'

'Is he going to rape me again?'

Astrid was afraid. Of what exactly, she didn't know. But she wished she could.

She fought further. But then, she suddenly fell on the ground.
"Astrid!" Hiccup yelled. He ran to her, hoping she was fine. But she was unconscious. He began to cough. It was because of the smoke of the fire the Deathgrippers had started.

Hiccup tried to wake her up.
Nothing.
He picked her up in bride style and carried her out of the house. He brought her to Gothi.
"Gothi! I need your help. Astrid fainted suddenly. What's wrong with her?"
The old lady nodded, taking Astrid to one bed, where Hiccup put her down.
While she examined Astrid, Hiccup had to go to his home, just to see that it was only ashes. His friends were beside, waiting for him.
"Hiccup!"
"Hiccup, how's Astrid?"
"Is she fine?"
Everyone of the gang asked him. But he just went away.

Hiccup knocked at the door. Mila opened it.
"Hiccup!" Mila hugged his legs.
"Hey!" He hugged her back and lifted her up.
"Where is my sissy?" Hiccup sighed.
"Your sissy is with Gothi."
"Why?"
"Because she got unconscious. I'm sorry. We're going to visit her tomorrow, okay?" She nodded with tears in her eyes, hugging Hiccup tighter.
Soon, she had fallen asleep.
And so did Hiccup.

~later that night~

Someone went in Gothi's hut. Some black figure. But the healer was still up. She noised it and took her large stick to defend her patient. Astrid laid on the bed, still unconscious. Gothi was about to attack, but the figure made a quick move, and there was an arrow in Gothi's stomach. Slowly, she died, while the figure was laughing evil.
Then it picked the unconscious Astrid up and disappeared...

Hiccup woke up. He had a nightmare. But something felt wrong. Like it really happened. So he stood up, putting Mila on the bed. He petted her head. But then he ran out of the hut, wanting to see Astrid.

Hiccup came to the hut. He went it.

He was shocked when he went in. Directly, he rushed to the dead healer on the ground. He couldn't believe. The dream was real. Gothi got killed. And he knew who got her killed.

Hiccup ran out. He ran in the direction, he suggested Grimmel ran too.

Slowly, Astrid woke up. She still felt dizzy, but it was better now.
"You're awake, my love." Her heart stood still for a moment. How did she get here? It was Mildew's hut on the other end of Berk.
Grimmel kissed her forhead. She was paralyzed. He picked her slowly up, making her feel even more uncomfortable. Then he pinned her on the wall. He kissed her neck, touching her breasts under her shirt. Astrid cried.
"Please stop. No. Please! I don't want this! Please!" But he didn't care. He touched her even more intensely.
"Please stop it! I'm begging you!" Astrid sreamed. She hoped someone would hear her. But then she realized that they were in Mildew's hut. On the other end of Berk!

But one person heard her screams. Hiccup. He followed them. And Mila followed him.

Hiccup heard something. He turned around to see Mila following him.
"What are you doing here?" He asked angrily. She looked at the ground, then at Hiccup and then at the ground again. She began to sob. Hiccup knelt in front of her, trying to calm her down.
"Hey, hey, hey. It's okay. Did you want to find your sissy?" She nodded.

"Please stop! Please, let me go!" They heard Astrid scream. They rushed to the hut. Hiccup shouted.
"Astrid!"
Astrid heard it. But Grimmel, too.
"Looks like your little boyfriend is here..." He went out of the hut.
"Well, hello, Hiccup Haddock! What an honor to see you here." But Hiccup just stood there, angry. Mila was beside him and saw Grimmel with an angry look.
"Give me Astrid back!" Hiccup yelled.
"Nah! I don't think so. You took her away from me! But now, she's going to-" He couldn't end his speech because Astrid shouted.
"Hiccup!" He ran into the hut. He saw her laying on the ground, leaning on the wall, she was pinned on. She seemed weak. Hiccup hugged her. Mila ran also towards Astrid.

"They don't know..." Grimmel whispered.
"What was that?" Hiccup asked with a dark voice.
"You don't know anything about Astrid." Hiccup and Mila saw him with big eyes.
"Well, Mila. Has Astrid told you that your parents hated having daughters? Or Hiccup. Have you known that Astrid isn't clear anymore? She isn't a virgin anymore. Has she told you that? We had already slept with each other, and we were about to do it again. Right before you two came..."
Astrid cried silently. So did Hiccup and Mila.
"Mila..." Astrid began.
"You lied to me! You always said that they loved us!" She cried out and ran away. Astrid just lied down, Hiccup beside her. He just looked at her. His eyes were filled with sadness and disappointment.
She wanted to say something, but she just couldn't speak.
"Why?" He asked her after a while. His voice indicated that he was hurt. But Astrid still couldn't say anything.
Hiccup then just shook his head, stood up and left.

Why? Why did she betray him? He loves her! But she him obviously doesn't.
Well, now she's with the real love of her life...
