I Left

Chapter Ten

Hiccup POV:

YOU? Your the dragon thief? I stutter. Um yes? Don't be so surprised, I mean you are the Great Dragon Master she adds, petting Toothless. I've missed you boy, she said. How? When I raided the Northern Markets two years ago, you were a dragon killer, I say. Never killed a dragon after I met Toothless. I searched for you and more dragons and I found both, she said, standing back up meeting my face. She was so pretty. She was just like me. She loves she dragons as much as I do, she loves to explore, and she's brave. Hello? She adds, breaking me out of my gaze. I'm sure you want to know everything? She takes. Yes please, and perhaps if we have time I can show you all that I've learned Astrid! I say happily. Sounds great! She replies. By the way Hiccup, I've really missed you, she says. I've missed you too Astrid, I say. I step a bit closer. We should become partners, I say. That came out wrong, and her eyes pop. Uh, not like that, I mean, yea, but like work partners, business partners, uh yea. I say nervously. She laughs beautifully. I'd love too! Come on! She says, taking me into the dragons sanctuary. There were dragons everywhere. Certainly there could be a lot more. She had a bewilderbeast! It was an amazing creature, and baby dragons crawling all over toothless!

Wow, I say.

I went searching for dragons and taking them here to this paradise, in hope that someday, I would find you. They give me hope and love and joy. Like my girl Stormfly, she says pointing to her deadly nadder.

Hiccup when you left, I didn't have the time to tell you how I felt about you leaving. It was devastating! I missed you this whole time! Now your here and I don't want you to leave! She says. I was shocked on how much I meant to Astrid. She used to hate me. You used to hate me, I laugh out. She hides a smile. But I missed you too. I say. I think its time we explain about what's happened these past 5 years. I say. Yeah..and what happened to your leg! She screams. Ha!
