Enigma: Dawn of the Champions (Hiccstrid/Httyd fanfic)

Part 16

"Diana..."

"Diana..."

"Diana come to me..."

I wake up again from another nightmare. Where those med in black ninja costumes and the woman with red eyes haunt me as I try to protect myself from their attacks, only to get defeated and killed.

I look outside the window to find it's still dark outside, but dawn is breaking.

I heave a sigh, running a hand through my hair and got out of bed. I push open the balcony doors and step out for some fresh air.
The sight of the tall buildings from the city are beautiful from up here, it's still alive even at this hour.

I haven't seen those men in black after they attacked me in the alleyway with my dogs. It's a surprise they didn't follow me all the way here since they're looking for me.

Well, if they will attack us here they won't stand a chance against the security of this house, they would just kick their butts out of the gates.

I wonder if those guys guarding the house are Champions?

"They're Champions of course."

"AAHH!" I literally scream in surprise when I heard something just spoke. I spun around to see Hiccup in white plain t-shirt and sweatpants.

"Shh!" He say putting a finger in his lips. "You'll wake up Daehan."

"Sorry it's just...you scared me!" I'm about to hit him but he quickly scoots away in defense.

I pull back my hand and cross my arms over my chest, "What are you doing here?" I ask, raising an eyebrow at him.

"This is my house, I can go anywhere I want." He say with a smirk.

I mentally slap myself for such a stupid question. Of course he can come in here, he gave you this room and he can take it back, stick it on your brain Astrid!

"Why are you still awake?" He ask.

"I had a nightmare." I say.

"The woman again?" He ask, walking towards me.

I nod my head, "Yes. It haunts me in my dreams all the time."

"The Enchantress must've found a way to attack you in your sleep." Hiccup say, his jaw bone is showing out as he look to a distance. "We must stop slacking off and stop her from her plans."

"How are we able to find her and stop her?" I ask.

Hiccup shakes his head, "I don't know." He say. "But pur best option for now is train our magic, be careful in our every actions, and keep ourselves safe. If the Enchantress starts to attack, we won't have a choice but to start a war against her."

This is one of the things I'm afraid of. A war that will be my fault if it happens. Who knows what will happen once the war will happen, we could die if we lose.

Hiccup suddenly took my by the arm and pull me close to him, he wraps his arms around me and hold me in a tight hug.
My heart starts to pound again in my chest, I couldn't move even just a finger and just stand there as Hiccup secures me in his arms.
I could hear the beating of his heart, it's fast but it sounds comforting in the ears that I relaxed as we stand there.
My hands move like it has a mind of its own and wrap around Hiccup's waist, pulling our bodies closer to each other.

My head says I should pull away, but my body won't cooperate and just stayed still in our embrace.

"Remember the night at prom?" Hiccup suddenly ask.
