Chapter 3

The next day I awoke to a warm breeze blowing against my face and Rapunzel still tucked under my arm sleeping soundly. What? She didn't go home last night? Her parents are probably freaking out! 

A feeling of panick washed over me as I jerked up from the ground accidentally knocking her over. Rapunzel rubbed her eyes tiredly and looked around the forest frazzled and dazed.

"Whoa,  I fell asleep here?" She mumbled tiredly.

I rubbed my arm and gripped my staff. "Y,Your parents are probably really worried" I stuttered nervously. What would they think when they realize Rapunzel had been sleeping with me? God I was screwed.

Rapunzel stood up, stretching her arms. She ran her hands through her hair slowly trying to get the knots out. "Yeah, I should probably be getting back" She frowned.

I nodded tensley. Rapunze cocked her head at me. "Are you OK? You're really jumpy this morning" She smiled, touching my arm.

I jerked back; what the hell was wrong with me? Rapunzel's face fell and she dropped her hand. "Sorry," She said quietly.

I ran my hand through my hair not replying. She quickly left the forest without another word glancing back at me before she dissapeared out of my sight.

"Whoa, Toothless calm down boy" Hiccup groaned, touching the back of Toothless' neck trying to steady him. The dragon seemed very restless this morning, maybe he sensed something like Rapunzel did.

I sighed when I thought about how stupid I'd acted towards her this morning. I was just scared, I was too nervous too face her. 

Hiccup looked at me curiously, running a hand through his thick brown hair. "You OK buddy?" He asked.

          I leaned back against the rock I was sitting against and shrugged. We were hanging out in our usual spot near an open field where Hiccup could ride Toothless freely without any distractions around them. We'd never actually brought Merida or Rapunzel around here because it was mostly a guys hangout to us. 

"Tell doctor Hiccup all!" He grinned letting go of Toothless and scooting beside me.

"I acted like a total idiot to Rapunzel this morning" I sighed, finally opening up about my problem.

"This morning? Why were you guys together so early?" He questioned with a frown on his face.

"Well we were talking last night, and then we ended up falling asleep together" I replied, remembering how warm Rapunzel's hand had been on mine.

"Whoa, dude. What the hell?" He said with strain in his voice.

I smiled at him, teasing his thoughts a bit more.

"That's not funny man! You slept with Rapunzel?" He exclaimed loudly.

I rolled my eyes. "No, jeez, we didn't do anything like that. We just accidentally fell asleep in the forest"

"Ok, phew, I almost had a heart attack there. That would have just been way too awkward" He breathed, putting his hand on his chest. "So what's the big deal then?" He asked.

"I don't know, I was just nervous when I awoke to find her beside me. I competely shook her off when she tried to ask me what was wrong. I feel like such a jerk" I sighed again, staring at Toothless as he flew up into the sky.

"Aw, my boy has the hots for a princess" Hiccup laughed.

I slugged him in the arm. "Shut up" I warned.

Hiccup clasped his hands together, trying to look professional. "Look frosty, all you need to do is talk to Rapunzel and explain your feelings, then you won't feel so bad" He explained.

I shook my head. "No, not yet. She already has a lot on her mind" 

"About what? Like if she lost her tiara?" He joked.

"No, she's having premonitions again. They're about this girl who is apparently going to bring darkness to Craft whenever she comes" I replied thinking back to how scared she'd looked when she told me.

"Seriously?" Hiccup gaped. "Damn, I would never want to live her life"

        I didn't reply. If what Rapunzel said was true, what darkness would this mysterious girl even bring to Craft; and who was she anyway? Did she have powers like any of us? Was she like me? No, that wasn't even close to possible, I was a guardian, I had inherited these powers. But what if she did? That would change so much.
