Finding You ~Book 2 of Unexpected~

Chapter 21 A Peaceful Flight With A Twist

A S T R I D

"Come on Stormfly, we gotta find Itchy Armpit" I say as I flew with Stormfly. We have been flying for 15 minutes, Itchy Armpit's not that far from Berk. It's usually 5 minutes away or something.

It's getting dark. Maybe I just should head back. I told Stormfly to turn around and go back home.

"It's getting dark girl, we should head back" I say and she growls in response. Well, at least we got our flight.

We were still flying and we haven't found a sign of Berk. Or not even a single village. I'm beginning to panic, and it's getting really uncomfortable riding Stormfly for this long. Mental note to self, never fly outside Berk, alone.

"Stormfly we gotta land somewhere, it's already night" I say and she quickly dives down. Moments later, we found this small island, and we decided to build fire and sleep for the night. Looking for Berk is useless when it's dark, plus, you never know what can be ruling the skies at night.

Meanwhile, while Astrid and Stormfly have rested on a nearby island, Hiccup is at home, worrying his butt out of where Astrid is. He's asked every single viking and they said the last time they've seen here was when she ran out of Gothi's place.

Hiccup lies on the bed, inhaling the faint scent of Astrid's hair, sticking onto the pillow. He let out his tears and apologized to Astrid, even if he knew that he couldn't hear her. He wanted to look for her but no one allowed him to, not with the Outcasts or Alvin on the loose.

He just prayed hard to Thor that Astrid is safe and sound, with his baby. He vowed himself to fix things once she gets back to Berk, because it's all his fault. He should have been supporting Astrid and yelling at her didn't make things better for the both of them, or for their baby. So he promised to do his best as a husband, and love his wife and child, as best as he could.

Valka stayed with him that night, telling him stories when she was pregnant with Hiccup. She helped him and gave him advice. She shared stories similar to the situation Hiccup and Astrid were in. She said to never put anything else above his own family. Hiccup slept that night, crying silently into his mother's arms.

I was being nudged multiple times and I opened my eyes and saw Stormfly up and alert. She whimpered.

"What is it girl?" I ask.

She growled at something behind us, we heard distant voices and violent rustling of leaves.

"WHO GOES THERE?!" We heard a voice and I flinched.

"Come on, run girl" I say as we started running away through the leaves, and twisting and turning through the trees. I suddenly tripped and I made sure I fell on my back, instead of my front. I groaned as I felt blood coming out of my scratches on my arms. Once I gathered the strength to get back up, someone grabbed my arm and gripped it tightly. I gasped and turned around to see a random viking, furious as ever. He tried to pull me in but Stormfly fired at him. She took the opportunity to grab me from him, and fly away into the skies.

Minutes later, we were gone from the island.

"Stormfly, i need to get on your back" I say and she growled.

And hey guess what came into our sight,

ITCHY ARMPIT.

WHERE IN THOR'S NAME WERE YOU WHEN WE NEEDED YOU?!

We landed there and I hopped on Stormfly to then fly away again, back to the direction of home.

~•~•~•~

I landed on the shore and heard someone yell.

"Astrid's back!"

I stayed on the ground and heard people gathering around us.

"Astrid get up! Are you crazy?! Going into a flight by yourself at sunset!?" I heard Fishlegs scold me as the others got me up.

"This is the most stupidest thing you have ever done" Ruff commented and gave me a thumbs up.

I sigh and looked at myself. I had dirt and scratches on my clothes, bleeding wounds and a bruise on my elbow. And a mark, where the viking had gripped me.

"Astrid" I hear Stoick say behind me and I turned around. He stared at me. I was so ashamed of myself. I looked down but what Stoick did caught me off guard, he hugged me tightly.

"Astrid, don't scare me like that ever again" He whispers. I hugged back.

"I promise" I say and pulled away. I saw the familiar auburn hair poking out from Stoick's back. He stepped aside to reveal my restless husband, his eye bags visible and eyes slightly red.

I approached him slowly.

"Hiccup, I'm so sorry I-"

He cut me off by hugging me tightly, shushing me up. He cried into my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Astrid. I'm a failure as a husband but I promise to love you and the baby as best as I can. I didn't mean to hurt you, it was the one thing I never want to do to you. I put you and the baby at risk, and for that I'm sorry. I love you. I love you. I love you-I--"

I shushed him up once he started getting uncontrollable with his tears and words. I cried into his shoulders too.

Stoick gestured the others to give us some privacy and soon we were all alone.

"Hiccup, don't say your a failure. You're not. And I'm at fault too, so I'm sorry. I love you, you're the only guy who puts up with the crap I leave around. And I always feel home when I'm with you, so let's just forget this okay?" I say.

"Gladly" He replies and pulls away from my shoulder, only to reveal his tear stained face.

I wiped his tears with my thumb.

"Stop crying, you're such a wimp" I lightened up the mood. He smiled slightly before kissing me passionately. He hugged me around the waist and I placed my arms around his neck.

I love you, fishbone.
