Finding You ~Book 2 of Unexpected~

Chapter 10 Part 1 My Fault

A S T R I D

Today was the day. I had to tell Hiccup today.

I love him. I can't let him get married tomorrow. I won't forgive myself.

"Want us to stay with you?" Fishlegs asked as I leaned against a tree in the forest.

"Dude she's a grown up! She can do it!" I heard Tuff say.

I heard then a loud smack and I looked back to see Ruffnut crossing her arms at Tuffnut who was on the ground holding his cheek.

"I'm fine guys, I'll just do this myself" I said and they all left moments after. They wished me 'good luck'. Yes, I will need it guys.

Now I have to wait for Hiccup. Usual time, usual place.

...

I leaned against the tree with my arms crossed. What if he's not coming today?! Ugh! I know I should've done it yesterday.

I've been waiting for at least 2 hours now. Ugh what do you expect Astrid?! Of course he'll be busy the day before his wedding day!

It's now or never.

I ran out the forest. To the square and to the gates of the castle.

I saw two guards standing at the gate.

"Please you've gotta let me in! I have to talk to Hiccup!" I begged as they held me back.

"That's SIR Hiccup to you, once he's prince" One of them smirked.

"Just please let me talk to him" I begged.

"And what are you? Another pathetic peasant girl he found swooning over him? We can't have that again sweetie" He says before shoving me away.

"But-"

"GET AWAY BEFORE I THROW YOU IN THE DUNGEON" He growls.

I glared at him.

"Sorry, princess' orders" He smirks and I groaned. I can't give up.

I walked away in defeat. Ugh what could I do?!

~•~•~•~

"Are you sure that sounds safe?" I ask Snotlout's crazy, yet possible plan.

He was planning I ride Toothless to the top of the castle while the others distract the guards with the dragons.

Then I could sneak in and find Hiccup in that huge castle. Might take me hours. But it won't since he showed me where his room was when he brought me around the castle.

Yes.

"Let's just do it tonight" He says.

"Okay, mission accepted" I said.

"This is crazy" Ruff says.

"But crazy is good" Tuff wiggles his eyebrows.

"This isn't crazy, this is insane!" Fishlegs exclaimed.

"But it's my once chance to get Hiccup back! I-I can't let him do this. He's my strength, Fishlegs" I said to Fishlegs.

He sighed and looked at me sympathetically.

"Fine, for you and Hiccup" He smiles weakly.

I smiled wide.

Operation Go!

It was now the middle of the night and I was flying on Toothless since he blended in with the night, since he is a dark color.

Not trying to be racist to dragons.

The others had already distracted the guards by letting them chase them around the castle. Sure the guards might be strong, but they certainly aren't smart.

Toothless landed on this tower. I mounted off him and rubbed him.

"Good boy Toothless" I smiled.

He then disappeared in a flash and then I proceeded to slide down the roof of the tower. I saw a window so I jumped into the window.

It was some kind of huge bell that was stored inside. I saw stairs leading down to the bottom of the tower. I walked slowly to the bottom and found a door.

I opened it and I saw a long hallway. Great.

Okay. Breathe. You're actually inside.

All we need to do is go to Hiccup's room. I crept on the hallways and tried to look for stairs leading downstairs.

Once I did, I didn't hesitate to go down one floor where the other rooms were.

...

I was now walking up to Hiccup's door at the end of the really long hallway. Gosh please let him be awake. I reached the door and put my hand out for the door knob.

I suddenly got tackled on the floor by someone.

"Nuh-uh uh! I'm sorry but Hiccup is resting for our big day tomorrow, Ariel. Or should I say, Astrid?" I heard that evil Scottish voice.

"Let me go!" I squirmed but it seemed like she wasn't alone. Guards started tying me up and dragged me away from the door while I squirmed some more to get out the tight grip of the ropes.

I saw Merida walking behind me, smirking widely.

"You thought you could get away with this?" she asks.

I ignored her. I'm not in the mood to deal with her.

I was just thinking how close I was, yet it still was very far.

...

The guards threw me inside a large dungeon with a hard thud. I saw the rest of the gang all tied up against the wall and the dragons tied down in a large cage, with their mouths tied together.

"Astrid! Were you able to do it?" Ruffnut asks.

"Astrid is not doing anything until me and Hiccup get married" Merida says approaching us.

"Just leave your hair out of Astrid and Hiccup's relationship! You've caused them enough!" Fishlegs yells.

"Nuh uh, I want Hiccup. That's all I want. And I ALWAYS get what I want" She growls.

"Not this time princess" I replied.

"Hm, cute. Nice for you to say that since you're all tied up and...... Useless. I'm shipping you all off back to your trashy homes after the wedding, and Hiccup stays with me" She smirks before turning around.

"You're such a bitch!" I yelled.

Woah that felt good.

Merida turned around, at shock.

"What did you just say to me?" She glares at me.

"You heard me"

Then what happened next was stinging pain and I'm sure that I'll be having a mark.

She slapped me across the cheek.

"You WILL see me get what I want! And you, nothing!" She says before leaving the dungeon and locking us up.

I cried and screamed. Probably the first time the others see me doing this.

"Astrid come on, don't do that. You're stronger than this" Snotlout says.

"Try letting the love of your life be taken away from you!"

"Crying won't help. We'll figure something out, okay?" Fishlegs said.

I'm so stupid. Ugh. If I just hurried it up. I would have been talking to him right now.

It's all my fault. I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry dragons.

I'm sorry, Hiccup.
