Chapter Six: Change Of Things

= A S T R I D =

I opened the door and slumped on the wooden chair, not realising it was practically wood. It hurted a bit when I fell down to it but I'm a shield maiden, I can handle practically anything. I crossed my arms and gave nothing to my uncle anything. He then sat on the opposite side of me.

"Astrid, talk to me," he commanded. He was always like that, commanding yet so gentle. What is with him? How does he do that?

I scoffed. "It's pretty hard not to," I mumbled. "I mean, you freaking forced me to marry that guy and I don't have any choice!"

He softened his face as I leaned back down at the chair. "I'm sorry, Astrid. But your parents told me this last favour when they passed you unto me," he explained.

I rolled my eyes at his 'story'. "Yeah, right," I scoffed. "My parents? As if. They only care about themselves and themselves only."

"They died to protect you," he snapped back, his hands grasping on the table.

"To protect me? How?! They're dead and now I can't even see them! How can they protect me!" I exclaimed, standing up. He stood up too, defending.

"They gave you everything you needed," he stated darkly. "So don't go running around like your parents never did anything because they cared about more than anything."

I gripped on my axe more, getting my hand red but I didn't mind. "If they cared about me then they wouldn't have signed me up to that douchebag!" I shouted. "I would have been with someone who I really loved like Eske!"

And with that, with no replied from him, I made my way to my current bedroom and slammed the door hard. I sat on my bed after placing my axe under the pillow.

I still couldn't believe my parents. If they wanted me to he happy, they should've let me who I want to marry. Who I want to date. What I want to do. But instead, I was tied down and now going to marry this jerk.

If this all never happened, Eske and I would've ben dating. We would've had our one year anniversary now and probably be married a couple of months later.

Oh, that scarlet red hair with that swirling hazel eyes. The way he moves, they way he touches my hand. The way we kissed.

That's right. 'Fearless' Astrid Hofferson here kissed someone. Not a shield maiden but at least I didn't lose my dignity. And by dignity, I mean my virginity.

But right now, I have to be here...on Berk...and have to marry a boy that I don't even know, a jerk and (even though he's kinda cute) sometimes weird when he smirks at me. That just gives me shivers.

I looked around the unfamiliar room. Apparently, this might be my permanent room if I get married here. I don't want to though. It's just...hard to even think about marriage.

Just then, something hit my head, snapping my thoughts. "Hey!" I exclaimed, furrowing my eyebrows. I looked out my window, out on the night sky, to find just a figure of a boy and a dragon.

"Psst, Astrid," I heard someone hiss my name. I squinted my eyes just to figure out whose it is.

"Hiccup?" I asked, guessing if I was right.

"Yes, now get over here," he whispered. I rolled my eyes. He's so demanding and, unlike my uncle, not gentle at all. Nope!

But I complied to the jerk's command and stood over the ledge after I climbed on it. The view up was amazing. Starry and moonlight shining down on it with twinkling stars. But the view down...well, it's death there. Actually, probably just a broken arm and two broken legs...

"Just jump," he, once again, commanded in a rude way.

"How would I know you would just move out of the way and I'll fall there," I stated, pointing down there where my ribs and bone could be broken.

He sighed. "Don't worry, I won't," he said. "I swear to Thor's rock." I raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" I asked, unsure about him. There was something about him that makes me feel weird.

"Really, now jump before we both get in trouble," he stated. I groaned in frustration and jumped over the ledge.

I was now in air.
