"I'm leaving." I said as i handed her the paper. she looked shocked she shook her head. "No Hiccup, y-you can't!" she exclaimed. i sighed and let my arm fall to my side. "Astrid please,no one will care if i leave. as a matter of fact they will all be happy, if I do." I explained to her. she gave me the 'how do you know that' face. i sighed and kicked a rock into the water.
when i looked back up at Astrid she had a sad/worried look on her face. "what?" I asked her she sighed and then spoke "promise me you will come back to the village with me tonight and go home and sleep and you don't run away." I gave her a blank stare "Hiccup please I know you don't think anyone cares about you when really we all do." she pleaded, i nodded and then she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the cove. I felt bad because no matter what I'm still going to leave, but I will stay close to Berk so I can watch over Astrid.
once Astrid walked me to my house she punched me in the arm "ow!" i gave her the 'what was that for look.' "That for kidnapping me and for saying that you are leaving." she said then grabbed my shoulder and pulled me in and kissed my cheek. "that's for, everything else." she turned around and ran towards her house. I turned around and walked into the house and up the stairs to my room. I walked to my desk and sat down grabbing paper and my charcoal pencil.

Dad,
I'm sorry for being the worst Viking know. and for possibly being the worst son alive. but who could blame me, I've been alone almost all my life, and no one really cares about me. that's why I've decided that I should leave, no one wants me around, no one believes in me, and everyone thinks I'm a nuisance, and a waste of space on Berk. I'm sorry that I'm doing this dad, but I feel as if it is best for Berk that I go. I love you dad, I always will, i mean you're my dad! even though we don't have a very good father-son relationship I still love you.

P.s. I Might come back in the future but just in case I don't, if you going to appoint a new future Chief I suggest Astrid, she's perfect for the position.

Love,
Hiccup

Okay one letter down, two to go. i got up and grabbed my blanket and pillow folded them up and put them on the desk so i would remember to grab them. i placed the letter on my bed. Then i went back to the desk and and started on my letter to Gobber.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Gobber,
I'm sorry about leaving you, you really were my only friend, and you were a father to me, but I just don't belong here anymore. Thank you for teaching me blacksmithing, and for guiding me but it's about time i take my life into my own hands. don't worry Gobber you taught me about survival remember! I'll be okay, I just can't live on an Island full of VIkings who don't even care about me, even my dad could care less if i was being beaten up by other vikings, and bullied. but why does that matter, I'm a fishbone. hey after you read this I left you something in the forgery to remember me by. You never gave up on me Gobber, and you loved me as if i was your son, and that's why i'm going to miss you the most.
Love,
Hiccup

I wiped the tears from my eyes, Gobber has to be the hardest person to leave of all. I folded the letter and placed it off to the side. now all that's left is Astrid's letter.

Astrid,
I know I promised I would stay but, I can't. Knowing now that I truly am different than any other Viking. I befriended a dragon of all things, if it was any other Viking they would have killed him. that's why i have to go, not only because of all the loneliness, and bullying, I've had or felt pretty much my whole life, but because I don't belong on Berk, right now, I'll try to prove myself worthy of the Future Chief position but i don't know how long that will take, so I might return in the future, who knows. I will check up on you once in awhile but you won't see me. I'm really sorry about this Astrid. I will miss you, you're definitely one of a kind.

P.s. be careful of who you show this to. take care Astrid see you around.

Love,
Hiccup

I stared at the letter I wrote Astrid and let out a small sigh, well at least she'll know that I care about her. I picked up the fur blanket and pillow along with Astrid's and Gobber's letters I climbed up to the window and just before i jumped to the ground I scanned my room remembering it, then I jumped down and ran to Astrid's sticking to the shadows.
once I got under her window I climbed up being careful just incase she was awake. I peeked into her room and there she was, fast asleep in her bed. I climbed into the window and got down i walked over to her bedside table and placed the letter folded in half standing up so she would notice it. I looked over at her sleeping form and grinned 'Gods I'm going to miss her' I thought to myself. I leaned over and gave her a light peck on the forehead causing her to stir a bit in her sleep. I quickly climbed back through the window and down to the ground. I picked up the blanket and pillow off the ground and ran to the Forge getting what i made him out of my little office he made me. It was a simple thing a new axe for his interchangeable hand except in the side of the axe i carved Remember Hiccup Haddock III , I placed the axe on his work table and then walked into his room, yes Gobber lives in the forge, i tip toed up to the nightstand and placed his letter there. i looked at Gobber's sleeping form and tried to remember every detail of the Viking that raised me like i was his own. my eyes started to fill up with tears. i quickly wiped them away and started out of the forge and to the cove where toothless was.
After a few minutes of running I finally made it to the cove, I cautiously jumped down from rock to rock till i got to the ground."Toothless!" just as I yelled his name he came bounding out of the cave with my basket of things in his mouth. "Hey bud! are you ready to go?" he nodded i took the bag out of his mouth and put the fur blanket and pillow in it, then i secured the basket to Toothless's saddle. "alright bud, let's go." i told him and then we took off.
we kept flying until I remembered that Meadow Falls Island Isn't Inhabited "hey Bud let's go that way! there is an Island we call Meadow Falls that's inhabited!" i said loud enough so he could hear. he nodded and headed in the direction I pointed.
after a couple more hours of flying,we made it to Meadow Falls Island. just as we landed i noticed the sun was starting to rise which means Astrid, Dad, and Gobber will be waking up anytime now to find their letters. as soon as that thought passed my mind my heart broke, but this is the best for berk. "come on bud let's go find a cave to make our own." I patted Toothless's head and he let out a low grumble meaning we better hurry cuz he's tired.

Astrid's pov
when I woke up it was just a bit after sunrise, I turned over to my other side and caught sight of something on my bedside table as I was closing my eyes, I opened my eyes back up and grabbed the paper, I then sat up on my bed and opened it.

(refer to the written one in chapter 3)

As soon as I finished reading it tears filled my eyes, as hard as i tried to stop myself, I started balling. 'he's gone. he said in the letter that he cares about me and that he might come back but he would check up on me.' I thought to myself.
'I need to show Chief Stoick.' as soon as that thought ran through my mind I heard a knock on my door, yes I live alone my parents died years ago, I ran down stairs and opened it and there stood a teary-eyed Gobber and upset looking Stoick. "please tell me you know where my son went." he pleaded, I held up my letter "I was gonna ask you the same." I stated sadly.
I moved out of the way to let Stoick and Gobber in "I'll put some tea on" Gobber sobbed. Stoick sat down in one of the tall back chairs and covered his face. "c-can I read y-your's Astrid?" he asked choking back the tears i nodded and handed him the paper, then i brought my knees to my chest and placed my forehead on my knees and sobbed. "if you think your guyses are heart breaking you should read mine." gobber sobbed as he lit the fire pit. "can i see it?" i asked him he handed me the tear stained paper "the tears aren't mine they were there before i opened it." gobber said i believed him because the tears are dry and not fresh. i began reading his letter and only a sentence into it i started sobbing again, i never show emotion like this, but it just hurts that Hiccup ran away. after a few minutes i finally finished it and handed it off to Chief.
After he finished reading it he got up and walked into the room that was once my parents. i heard him crying and praying to the gods i looked over at Gobber who was staring at the room his best friend was in. he bowed his head and started crying again. i grabbed his hand with both of mine and he looked at me with the most broken and saddest eyes I've ever seen. It broke my heart to see them both like this.

Well here's chapter three. I'm in school and bored so I thought hey let's just publish the chapter you've already written! So I hope you enjoyed!
