Astrid

While Hiccup and I had continued to walk through the forest, I had started to notice something extremely weird. The sky had started to turn dark and it was only just past noon? "Hiccup, I am starting to freak out. Why has it gone all dark suddenly?" I asked clinging onto his arm like a teddy bear and his eyes widen.

"M'lady, I think this is finale... what they do is that they lure in the contestants to the cornucopia and they have a huge final battle to be victorious." Hiccup explained to me as we continued to walk through the forest.

"I think we should head towards the cornucopia." I suggested before the two of us had started to head there.

"I wonder how many of us are left." Hiccup said stroking his jaw with his fingers thinking and my eyes widen in realisation.

"Hiccup... I think it's just Thresh, Matthew, you and I..." I whispered before I had heard a big yell from the distance and a quick cannon fly.

"I-I recognised that scream..." I whispered.

"Thresh..." Hiccup whispered back as the two of us had started to run in fear.

"Hiccup... I am so scared... I don't want to die..." I said as we had continued running towards the cornucopia.

"I won't let that happen. Because if you died on my watch, I would never forgive myself." He whispered back to me.

"Alright, I want to make this even crazier..." The game maker said as he had pointed at the screen which Hiccup and Astrid were on.

"Well, you're the boss, but what do you want us to do?" He asked the game master.

"Just make sure they chase both Astrid and Hiccup, and lead them to the cornucopia for the final battle. Don't get them killed." He ordered them and they had done what was told.

"Astrid..." Hiccup said puffed out as we stopped at a large tree.

"Yes?" I said putting my hands on my knees to catch my breath, but I had started to hear something, like running steps and growling... Like dogs?

"Do you hear that..." Hiccup said before I had turned around to see over a dozen mutations charging towards us showing their big teeth with drool coming out it as they keep charging with their strong muscled legs at us and I had started to scream.

"RUN!" I screamed at Hiccup getting his attention before I had run towards the cornucopia with Hiccup right behind me yelling out some swear words before the two of us had stopped at the cornucopia to see Matthew standing there holding a long sword on the top of the cornucopia and he didn't look to well either...

His face was full on blood with some dripping down from the big cut he has in his forehead and he has the biggest death glare that you have ever seen from him...

"HICCUP GO TO THE NEAREST TREE AND CLIMB IT!" I screamed as I had jumped towards the cornucopia and I had started to climb step by step, but at the corner of my eye, I watched Hiccup run away fast towards the trees and once I had stopped climbing, I had gotten one of my swords out and I had looked at his death glare... it's like his life has been tarred apart...

"Hofferson..." He growled as he balled up his fist in anger.

"Matthew... What happened?" I whispered.

"You took my life away in 3.5 seconds if what's happened?!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.

"HOW DID I! YOU TRIED TO KILL THE GUY I LOVE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs before I heard the mutations returning with their very big growls.

"I will make him suffer.... By killing you..." Matthew said as he had charged at me while holding his sword up in the air and I had clearly dodged it using my sword in front of me using all my strength.

"WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF I GOT KILLED! GO AFTER THE PERSON WHO DID IT! BECAUSE CLEARLY I DIDN'T KILL WILLOW!" I screamed at him before pushing him back from me with all my might and he had fell onto the cornucopias metal.

"How did you get so strong suddenly?" His eyes widened as I had pointed my sword at his jaw.

"I have been this strong for years... You've just never seen me except at school..." I said grabbing his shirt and pulling him up.

"What are you going to do about it!" I said before grabbing my bow and arrows from my back and I had aimed it at him.

"I thought you were in love with me these years..." Matthew said as he had started to back up towards the edge of the cornucopia and I continued to aim it at him.

"I never did love with you Matthew. I never wanted love until Hiccup had come into my life."

"But you didn't know him that well like me!" Matthew yelled at me.

"I know... But I trust him more then you..." I said as I was about to let my arrow fly, but I had heard a loud growl behind me which had revealed a couple of mutations coming towards me showing off their humongous teeth with drool rolling down onto the metal which had made me start to freak out.

"How did they get up here..." I whispered scared before I had started to back up with Matthew until we reached the end with the rest of the mutations behind us.

"MLADY!" I heard a yell from the background before I had started to aim the arrows at the growling mutations.

"You can't won't hurt me..." I said trying to keep a brave face on before I remembered a small flashback.

"Astrid! Let them hurt you... it sounds stupid... but mutations go towards one person at a time..."

"Hey!" I yelled to try and get the mutations attention and Matthew looks at me in shock as I stepped in front of him.

"You're going to get yourself killed!" Matthew yelled as the mutations had looked at me in anger.

"You want this flesh?" I said with a huge smirk spread on my face which had got them growling more.

"Then why don't you come and get it!" I yelled before they had charged at me and.....
