Born With A Dragon Tattoo - Hiccup x Reader

Chapter 18 - Oh No: Part 1

Tripping over tree roots, pushing past broken tree branches, I make it back to to Berk within three minutes. I ran past the villagers, ignoring their 'hellos', and ran straight to the academy to look for Hiccup. I ran into the centre of the arena where Astrid and Snotlout were fighting, again. "Guys...have you...seen Hiccup...anywhere?" I said between breaths.
"Last time I saw him he said he was going back to the blacksmith." Astrid replied. I sighed before turning on my heel to run out again. Astrid called out before I left. "Why do you need him so badly?"
"Because," I turned towards her. "It's just an emergency." And I ran out of the academy and to the blacksmith. I called out Hiccups name again when Gobber walked into view. "Hey Gobber, have you seen Hiccup."
"Hello to you too las, and no, I haven't seen Hiccup." I grunted before running away again. I was almost giving up hope on finding him when I ran into him, knocking us both off our feet. Hiccup smiled at me before his smile turned into a frown. "I'm guessing there's a problem." I nodded.
"Yeah, a big problem." I said, standing up and brushing myself down. I ignored the strange looks of the other villagers before explaining the situation. "Okay, so after you left I stayed at the cliff for a little while longer and just as I was about to leave I noticed these ships coming in from over the distance and I thought nothing of it until I realised they were the ships of the people we met the other day which makes me think that they've come here for us." Silence rang out through out the village and Hiccup was expressionless.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm positive, and they could be here any second." I looked around at the other villagers and I could tell they were slightly confused by what was going on.
"Okay, I'll go warn my dad," Hiccup said, starting to walk away. "You go gather the other riders." And with that, he sprinted toward the great hall, leaving me in the middle of the village. Silence covered the other villagers, but I didn't take a second notice as I started to sprint back towards the academy.

"(Y/n), calm down, we've got this covered." Astrid said.
"I know we have, but a few of these people almost killed Toothless, so I'm just slightly on edge with what they could do as an army." I replied, pacing back and forth in the academy.
"Look, you need to breath." Astrid said, placing her hands firmly on my shoulders to stop me from walking. I looked at the others who were casually leaning against their dragons.
We've got this, I said to myself.
"We've gone through these situations before, okay. We're almost experts at it." She smiled reassuringly and I started to feel the courage growing inside of me, and just as I'm about to reply, Hiccup walks in with his dad following.
"Alright (Y/n), we need a plan." Hiccup said.  I looked back  and forth between the others.
"Do you have any ideas?" I asked, looking at everyone. There was a pause before they shook there heads, mumbling no. "Come on guys, think. This army could kill our dragons if we're not careful, and they will be here any second."
"We're thinking, okay, calm down." Snotlout said, a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Look, (Y/n)," Hiccup said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "You don't have to worry about anything, we've done this before and we can do it again." My mind travelled back to when we found the skrill and how Dagur was close to invading Berk and smiled at the times Hiccup had to rescue me before I was electrocuted a few times. Hiccup smiled at me and I swear I could feel my insides explode, but that was when I got the idea. "So, any ideas?"
"I may have an idea," I said. "But I doubt it will work."

Yay, it is done. Sorry I haven't uploaded but I am now at that stage in life where I have to decide on the college I want to go to so I've been a little panicky on that. But holidays are coming up in a couple of weeks so I will be allowed to let my brain take a break from algebra and surds (math stuff ugh)
