The jewel of bleln (a httyd Snotlout love story)

Ch 26

eira pov*
I was laying in my bed. Uncle ingfred was furious and had closed the nadder and was rampaging around downstairs. The villagers were furious in their own right. They still saw me as the little girl who helped out. The little girl who had almost died picking flowers to put on tables and had come across wild dragon root. That insistent lead to the removal of all the dragon root on the island and was one of the banned products merchants could never bring to the isle. The young girl who brightened the room with a smile. All the villagers vowed to protect me. Their little jewel of the island.

I had cried myself to sleep that night and woke up with a headache. I soon found out why I had woken. I heard uncle ingfred shouting and heard my brothers voice in response. I carefully walked down the stairs and caught parts of the yelling "never should have trusted.... took my little girl.... safe but now what heart broken! And you and me to send her home!" Ingfred demanded and I winced as a table broke.

"She's my sister too you know. If this wasn't true he wouldn't have survived the encounter and his dragon is mad at him as well. He is devastated ingfred. The woman kissed him because she thought she had a chance with him not knowing he was betrothed to my sister! If I don't bring her back so they can at least talk I don't want to know what stupid thing he will think of to win her back. Probably face Viggo and the dragon fliers head on ending up dead." Hiccup snapped. "Snotlout is annoying, stubborn, and Ill mannered yes. He bullied me around so often when we were younger But he is my friend and ally now. He built her a place of her own overlooking a field of flowers and a stream with enough space for her to heal people." Hicccup said softly. "You guys are loud." I said finally hearing enough making them jump. "Is what you said true hiccup?" I asked sadly. My voice scratchy. "Yes. While Snotlout and I have our differences I noticed that with you he is more relaxed." Hiccup said. "I figured that much about him and why sooner than you did but that doesn't make up for what happened. He assured me none of them felt that way about him before we went to the isle." I stated stiffly keeping my tears at bay before turning and going to go back up the stairs. "Eira. He asked me to help him make the perfect betrothal gift for you. And trust me when I say that Snotlout doesn't ask for advice or help let alone from me." Hiccup said grabbing my arm quickly. I stopped and looked at him. Before looking at uncle Ingfred who still looked angry but shrugged. "I shall return to Gothie. If he wishes to explain himself then he may." I said before pulling away fully. "Eira!" I heard my brother call but I ignored him. I had hoped Snotlout would have come instead to explain himself. Seemed that having a brother who was to be chief also meant he got to butt in all the time.
