I felt like this video was perfect for the story. 

HICCUP POV:

Dear Hoffersons:

Astrid is okay and well. I only took her to make sure she is alive. I left a map with directions to my base on the back if you wish to come get her. Her wounds should be healed by the time you get here and all you are taking back to Berk is Astrid. Nothing else. It will take a week to sail here so make sure you have plenty of supplies for the trip. 

Sign Hiccup H. Haddock III

I rolled up the letter and tied it. I got on Toothless and flew to Berk. It was surprisingly quiet. Or Berk has just changed a lot since I've been gone. I found Astrid's old house. I left the note on the table and left. I started sneaking around the village to make sure every one is still here. I jumped as a crash came from the great hall. "Stay close bud" I whispered. I snuck up the stairs to the Great Hall. I silently snuck in and hid against the wall in the shadows so no one will see me. I hope. 

"WE SHOULD BE OUT THERE SEARCHING FOR ASTRID" her mom yelled. "I agree but we have no idea where Hiccup took her" said my dad. "Your son was last seen flying North. That way is our best bet" said Astrid's dad. My dad signed. "I agree but how do you know Hiccup did turn and head East or west when he was out of our sight" said my dad. No one said anything. "Chief I have a question" said Tuffnut raising his hand. My dad signed annoyed. "Make it fast you two, this is very important and we need to find Astrid" said my dad. "Why not just ask Hiccup" asked Ruffnut. "Because he isn't here" said my dad. "Oh then that man over looks exactly like Hiccup" said Tuffnut pointing at me. I froze as everyone looked at me. "GET HIM" some one yelled. Everyone ran up to me and I grabbed my flame sword and lit the flames. Toothless growled ready to attack. Every one stopped. My dad walked up to me. "So, where is Astrid son" said my dad clearly not meaning the son part. "Back at the edge" I said. "Well then you should take us there" said Stoick. 

"Sure, if you wanna ride a dragon" I said. My dad frowned. "No, we are sailing there" said my dad. "Uh we" I asked. "Yes, the Hoffersons and the two of us" said my dad. "No, please. It will take a week to sail there and I left Astrid locked in a cell. I need to get there faster or she could die" I said. "Let him go, but Astrid better be alive boy" said Astrid's uncle. My dad signed and let me go back to the edge. I told every one how I left a map with directions on how to get to the edge at Astrid's house. I put my sword away and flew back to the edge. It was now sunset so Astrid should be asleep when I get back. I landed and went to the stables to check on Astrid. She was asleep. I signed. I guess I was a little harsh to her earlier. I unlocked the cell and walked up to Astrid. I picked her up and carried her to my house. I put her on my bed and covered her up. I don't expect her to forgive me but she can at least respect the fact that I saved her life. I went downstairs and slept on the spare mat I had.
