Hiccup And The Gang Short Stories

A High-Speed Collision Part 2

I chose to make this 3 part story. This is taking soooo long to write. Also the pic above is what Astrid looks like.

Sorry if I didn't write when I was suppose to, but that was because I just finished year 8 today and had to say goodbye to my friends and boyfriend.

Before Astrid could ask what she meant or even look to find out, Ruffnut slammed her foot down on the brake pedal. Astrid choked herself against the shoulder harness of her seatbelt, but she couldn't even think about that..

There was a sound of screeching rubber against the asphalt, followed by a sickening CRASH of metal against metal. The sound of glass shattering met Astrid's ears, and she almost jumped out of her seat.

Their car came to a fleeting halt, just barely in front of two other cars that had collided, leading to the road being blocked. Ruffnut leaned back against her seat, breathing heavily. "OH MY GOSH" She shrieked. "DID YOU SEE THAT!? THEY SLAMMED INTO EACH OTHER!"

Astrid didn't see it, and she was partially glad that she hadn't. Ruffnut opened her door, unbuckled her seatbelt and ran out of the car, and Astrid did the same after little hesitation.

"Call an ambulance" Ruffnut said. "I'm going to look and see if they're any survivors." Astrid nodded shakily, her heart pounding in her ears as Ruffnut raced forward to look at the first car; the one that had seemed to take more of a hit.

After calling the emergency number and talking to the recipient, answering her questions and telling her where they were, she hung up and looked back at Ruffnut as the older girl raced back towards her.

"The two in that car are alive," Ruffnut said simply, "but I still need to go check the other car. Stay with them in case they wake up, alright?"

Astrid had no choice but to nod as she stepped forward. It felt wrong, seeing the smashed vehicles and knowing that there were people in them who may not survive. Astrid shook her head. No, she couldn't think about that at the time. She had to focus on making sure that if they were awake, they didn't panic.

Because in honesty, if she woke up in a wrecked car, she would have been pretty panicky herself.

The woman in the driver seat had taken less of a hit. The only sign of real injury was the fact that she was unconscious, along with an bad looking gash on her head. The bleeding wasn't dangerous, at least, and that was the important thing.

She looked at the passenger seat and gasped. He was a boy, probably not much older than she was, with auburn hair and freckles nearly covering his cheeks. His skin was unnaturally pale, which made a bleeding cut on the side of his head stand out painfully. Drops of blood fell onto his shirt.

Astrid felt the need to gag. The boy didn't even look like he was breathing...

She grabbed his hand and felt for his pulse. She didn't have medical training like Ruffnut had, but she knew enough to know how to find someone's pulse, what was healthy, and what was irregular.

The boy's pulse was weak, but at least it was there and regular for the most part. His hand was cold and clammy, though, and that didn't take anything off of Astrid's list of worries.

Her heart nearly leapt into her throat when the boy opened his eyes. His irises were a deep emerald green, and they would have been more beautiful if they weren't full of such terror along with a bleary look that would have put anyone on edge.

He looked at her. "Hi?" he whispered. "Where....what?"

"You were in an accident" Astrid said, "but don't worry, you're-"
