The other path (HTTYD Hiccup x OC)

Berk

It wasn't easy for Drake and Elena to adjust to Berk, especially when it came to the weather "So how's our future chief holding out on babysit duty?" Astrid asks "Bad I lost sight of them, again, they're too quick", Elena and Drake had to stay in the village, but didn't listen very good "They ran towards the forest" "Well considering this place is new to them" Astrid says "Maybe they don't really feel at home, you said their houses were completely different" "That's true, I should talk to my dad about that bit" Hiccup says and the two spot a white dragon flying overhead "Hiccup, we need your help with something" Elena says, so Hiccup gives his friend a shrug before following the girl. They fly to the mountain and then go to an opening "Dad's bound to wonder if we went here" Elena explains "And I can't make a door that blends in with the mountain all year round" Drake adds to that "Let me see the inside" Hiccup says, so the three head inside "We get all our food from Astrid and our blankets and other things we make ourselves, clothes too".

They head to mead hall and Elena sticks awfully close to Drake, she saw her father's dragon outside "It'll be fine, stay with us and he won't notice you" Astrid says "Not helping" Elena mumbles. "Gobber" Hiccup says "Got any fun stories left to tell?" "Plenty, why the sudden interest?" the blacksmith asks, but one look at how badly Elena and Drake don't want to be there and he walks to Stoick.

At the fire though Elena has plenty of stories to tell them "And that happened when you were 4?" "Yeah, my parents were always on the move then, nowadays they rarely leave the island" Elena says making Drake grin "And before she came lots of stuff happened, the other kids didn't like an outsider so when I started hanging out with her they left me alone, they got over it when they saw her skills when it came to dragons though". The next morning Hiccup tells the two that Elena's father hasn't left yet "We need more wood though" Drake says "Take Toothless then, I see there's plenty left to do inside here, so I'll help with that" "Thanks" Drake says so he heads off with Toothless. Astrid runs into some trouble though with the other chief "Elena's dragon?" she asks "Yes, the night fury over there" he says making Astrid rub the back of her head "We don't where Elena is sir" Fishleg says "Her dragon keeps staring at the sea, as if it's looking for her" he adds, Astrid lightly hits Midnight with her foot and the dragons looks at the chief sadly "You mean to say that she ran off?" "Yes" Hiccup says "I did when my father forced me to do something I didn't want to do" he explains "You know Elena well enough to know she would do that too and if you promised not to force her into marriage you should've kept that promise" "I know that, but the people didn't want a girl as chief, what was I suppose to do?" "I think you mean you don't want a girl as chief" Drake says walking over "Everyone thought Elena would make a great chief and yes my dad knows I'm here" "You never leave Elena's side, neither does her dragon", Hiccup sighs and spots Elena in the air on her other dragon, most likely following the conversation "Please don't bother the kids, Gobber took Drake as his apprentice since my son won't have much time" Stoick says "Tell Elena to come home" "I refuse" she says landing on her feet "I'm fine here, much more interesting then our island, a lot more happens here" she says "And since you don't want a female chief I have no reason to stay there. I liked it better when we traveled all the time, this place is a lot colder then I remember though" "You came here before?" Stoick asks "Yeah, when I was about this tall" Elena says holding her hand just below her waist "I was getting supplies so we could continue" "I think I remember now" Hiccup says "You were the girl that I ran into and you dropped the sack of food you were trying to carry" "Yeah that was me" Elena says "Never got to thank you for your help since we left the same day we arrived" she adds, Stoick smiles brightly "See she's in good hands" he says "Come back when you change your mind, until then she's staying here" "Your mother already left to look for you" "I save the island and this is what I get as thanks, wow dad, wow, should've left that dragon where it was, you're not able to do our job anymore" Elena says and she walks off "By the way. That's mom's dragon over there" she adds before jumping on Midnight and flying off, her other dragon following behind after shooting a warning shot.

In the cave she sits on a pile of wood, her mood ruined "I brought you your favorite food" Astrid says walking over "Not hungry, sorry" Elena mumbles looking down "It's still warm. You sure you don't want to?", Elena takes the food and sighs as she takes a bite "My dad's an asshole" she says "He left with your mother, she was pissed off after hearing what he has to say about you" Astrid says, she leaves the girl alone and Hiccup comes in later with Drake "We should have a dragon race sometimes" Drake says "We don't have as many obstacles as you guys do" Hiccup points out as if it's the most obvious thing in the world "We can fix that can't we?" Drake asks, he falls quiet when he sees Elena, who's still down from what happened "Okay then. I will get some more wood, you cheer her up" "How am I supposed to- and he's gone" Hiccup says "Yes he does that sometimes" Elena says "I finished a bed" she adds pointing to the object, which could be better "Let me help you" Hiccup says "Don't want either of you to sleep like crap" he adds offering a smile "Thanks" she says getting up.
