Complicated. (...sort of)

Chapter 46

Astrid's POV

I was flying around Berk, looking for Hiccup, when I saw Gobber walking through the village. I landed behind him, making him turn and face me.

"Oh hi Astrid." He greeted.

"Hey Gobber have you seen Hiccup?"

"No I haven't. No one has, actually. But I would check Sven's farm. He had to do some work there today." He suggested.

"Alright. Do you have a list of what he has to do?"

"I always do." He replied and handed me a list. It was pretty short, so this shouldn't take long.

"Thanks." I said and flew off towards the farm.

Mercy's POV

I walked through the trees with my bow in my hand. I looked around for any sign of the creature that ran in front of us.

"Mercy!" Jade shouted. I turned around and saw her running towards me with Cody shortly behind. She stopped in front of me, breathing really heavily.

"You idiot you probably just scared that thing off by shouting!" I whispered loudly.

"Oops. Sorry." She whispered. I rolled my eyes and continued to look for the animal. I'm just going to assume it's an animal because no human could move that fast. I peeked around the bush to find empty grass. 

"It got away." I muttered.

"It's alright, it was probably just a sheep that wandered here during a dragon race." Jade assured.

"Probably. Still, it could've been something else."

"Let's just go back to the cove. At least we still have a few hours to relax." Cody stated.

"I should be home soon though. My parents will freak out if they don't see me all day."

"Hasn't your mom seen you today?" Jade asked.

"We briefly talked." I shrugged. 

"And your dad?" Cody questioned. I pursed my lips awkwardly and rubbed my arm.

"I haven't seen him today." I mumbled. There was an awkward silence for about thirty seconds. I sighed. "I'll talk to him tonight, okay?"

"Good." They chimed.

"Anyone else, like, really hungry?" Jade asked.

"I could eat." Cody replied. I nodded and we walked towards the Great Hall.

Cody's POV

I silently munched on small pieces of my chicken leg as Mercy and Jade rambled about something. I looked back down to my plate, but then was yanked into the conversation.

"Ok Cody we need your opinion." Jade said.

"On what?"

"Do Jade and I look like sisters?" Mercy blurted.

"Well if you two were just standing next to each other and someone looked at you, I could see how they would think you're sisters." I replied.

"I WAS RIGHT!" Mercy shouted. Everyone in the hall stopped thier talking and eating, and lookde at her with confused glances. "Sorry everyone! Go back to what you were doing!" She announced. Everyone shurgged and returned to their tasks.

"Well that was awkward." Jade grumbled.

"Yeah... maybe I shouldn't shout so much." Mercy stated as we hearda rumble outside, followed by a crack.
