Astrid's P.O.V

I'm at the bed, sitting with my knees by my chest and my arms hugging my legs. My back leaning at a pillow, reminiscing the scene yesterday. Seriously what just happened. I then heard footsteps that are coming nearer to the room. The door knob turned and the door opened. It was Hiccup. I stared at him and so does he. He got closer to me and kisses my forehead and keeping his face close to mine.

"Worried?" He said.

"It's just I don't know how that thing happened to us. And the letter. I couldn't even understand but, it's like he or she is describing us. In some way. And I can't shake the fact that we're going to get in tro-" Again, I was cut off by Hiccup's shush.

"It's gonna be alright. Think positive. You read the letter right? With our pets, foes shall leave. See? He said it. He knows it." Hiccup, trying to explain it to me with his gestures again.

"How do you even know of D.S. is a man or a woman? A friend or a foe? It's strange. Super strange. I know what was written but why are there words that are written here that are not suitable for us?" I tried to convince Hiccup not to stay calm because of th fear I'm having. It's the first time I felt goosebumps. Hiccup sighed and something went to his head again.

"Well what if we weren't the only one who received this message?" He told me.
I looked to him with a curious look. Then sounds of wings are heard and our dragons are making noises. We went to the terrace and spotted mom. Or should I say mother in law. We greeted her and we let her in. I prepared some food and drinks and ate it at the living room.

"Thank you Astrid. Mmm. You sure know how to cook. It's delicious!" Valka complimented me. I sat beside Hiccup and I was holding his hand.

"Thanks mother. It's glad to see you here." I told her.

"So what brings you here? Problem at berk or any orders?" Hiccup asked Valka.

"No problems at all. Berk is stable don't worry as long as I'm there. I just wanted to check you two out. So how's last night?" Seriously? With that question I and Hiccup felt embarrassed. I let Hiccup answer.

"Well, actually we didn't do it. Things happened yesterday." Hiccup said.

"Things like what?" Valka asked.
We told her what happened. The letter, the time when everyone vanished, not to mention the cold wind. We told mother /Valka everything. She said she didn't even felt the same thing. It means it's up to us. I felt more worried and my hands are getting colder and colder. Hiccup hardens his grip to my hand as he was saying not to be afraid. Valka told us some advice and to seek help from the berkians. She also told us to figure out what the letter says.

"Gothi! She may be a help to us" I spoke. They agreed and we decided to seek clues from Gothi after our stay at the cottage.

Valka/mother took off the shore and went back to the village. I leaned on Hiccup's shoulder. And after minutes we rode on our dragons and fly for a moment. The wind really makes me calm. Stormfly and I made some tricks as we were separated from Toothless and Hiccup. We have our alone time everyday. We soar higher and higher. Up in the clouds, there we stay. We gazed at the beautiful sun which is about to set. How lovely it is.

A few moments later, Toothless and Hiccup joined us and we landed at the shore again. I made dinner for me and Hiccup while fish for Toothless and chicken for Stormfly.

"Ugh! I'M stuffed!" Groaned Hiccup while stretching his arms.

"Well of you are you better not move too often or else vomiting it is." I said while cleaning the plates. I smiled a little then turned my back against the table. Not for long I feel hands running through my waist and then to my stomach.

"Hiccup I can't clean the plates nicely while you're hugging me." I complained. Hiccup just smiled. I then faced him with hands at my back and also mines. I smirked them touches his face with my soapy hands.

He stopped hugging me and turned his back to sneeze and rubbed his nose. I laughed and returned on cleaning the plates.

It felt Hiccup's smirk behind. He walked out of the kitchen and without me knowing where he is. After cleaning, I went to the living room, he wasn't there. I went again to our bedroom, again, no one to be spotted. At that same time, I remembered what happened yesterday. Everyone vanished. I was scared again, not knowing what to do.

'Why should I feel this fear? I can't! I'm carrying the blood of a Hofferson and it means I have the courage more than anyone else! But, why? Why is this happening?'

I thought, holding my cold hands, and stepping backwards, bit by bit. I glanced at the table next to our bed, and I sought the letter. I wanted to reach it and go closer but I feel stuck in where I am.
I closed my eyes and prayed. I suddenly felt someone's presence. Unlike before, I could just arm myself and use my fighting skills, but I felt weak. My knees are shaking and my hands are cold.

"Hiccup, where are you?" I said loud enough to make a person here.

Hiccup's P.O.V

"Hiccup, where are you?" Astrid said. I heard her while I was going to turn the knob to open the door to our room. I opened it and she turned her face to mine. She looked pale and frightened. It's the first time I saw that look of hers since she's a Hofferson.

"Astrid? What's wrong?" Before I could continue, she hugged me tightly. She's cold and shivering. I felt pity for her. I hugged her back. Then for a moment, she fell and sat on the floor.

"Hey Astrid, you okay?" I asked her. She's catching her breath and is about to cry.

"My knees gave up. I thought you were gone again. Hiccup, don't leave me." Astrid said with her voice also shivering and feeling fear. I kissed her forehead and smiled a little.

"Don't worry Astrid, I'll always be with you. Everything's gonna be okay" I said. I carried Astrid bridal style and laid her on our bed.

She didn't want to lose her grip on my neck. She was scared, afraid that I'm going to vanish. I hugged her tightly and kissed her passionately.

This feeling of love, I've always felt for her grew. I don't want to see this face anymore. I want my lady to feel the joy and warmth I gave her. Still in Astrid's arm, I thought of something. Well, since we're newly weds, why not. I mean, it's the best way to cheer her up. I climbed beside her and my face at her top.

"Shall we?" I embarrassingly said.

"We shall" Astrid's hands got warmer and we kissed.

That night, we made love and fought our fears away.
