Her

Surprise!

So, it's been exactly 3 days since Eret has been helping me train. I got the basics down of the Alphabet, and I can feed myself again. So, I decided to write a letter to each of the Riders. I had one Terror take letter's to Hiccup and Astrid.

"Dear Hiccup,

It's hard to write. But, I'm getting there. I can also feed myself again. I hope everything is doing well on Berk, and I hope you're not working too hard. Tell Spitelout I said hi.

- Thora"

"Dear Astrid,

I'm writing to you to let you know my process of healing has gotten better. I can eat, and I can write. My writing is still slow but, I really wrote this myself. I hope everyone back home is okay. Tell Gobber I said hi.

- Thora"

So, I've decided to surprise everyone at dinner tonight. I'll have a terror bring in letters for them. So, I can show them I can eat myself. While I write the letters. Snotlout seems to be really different lately. He seems calm. Like he's just...living. If you know Snotlout, you know that's not right. I mean, he's actually been doing his chores. We got done a half n hour earlier then normal. I do a lot of sewing. I'm repairing the clothes that the team tears up for now. The patches don't have to be perfect. So, that's what I can do to help.

So finally, we ended up at the table, and the terror came in dropping a pile of letters on the table, as Eret sat next to me smiling. Snotlout made dinner since he's the best cook here. Everyone started opening their letters as I un wrapped my hands reaching for a yak leg. I closed my hands around the bone holding it waiting for them to get done reading the letters.

"Dear Fishlegs,

I want to thank you for all the support through all of this. Also, the dragon lessons.

-Thora" Fishleg's mouth fell open.

"Dear Tuffnut,

Thank you for the loyalty, and friendship, and the laughs. Also for standing up for me.

- Thora" Tuffnut was a little confused.

"Dear Ruffnut,

Thank you for standing up for me, and saving my life.

-Thora" She also looked confused.

" Dear Snotlout,

It's not your fault.

-Thora"

One by one they looked up at me as I took a bite of my leg.

"OH MY THOR! YOUR HANDS!" Fishlegs squealed.

"Congrats." Snotlout said with a side smile.

"YOU CAN FUNCTIONNNN!!!!!!" The Twins screamed at each other.

Eret put his arm around my shoulders and grinned.

"She's worked really hard. You should be proud. Tonight, we celebrate!" Eret lifted his mug. We all did cheering. Snotlout still calm. After dinner I was exhausted...I get a day's break. Then I'm working on my legs...I can't wait to surprise them with that when I get better. I began to drift asleep stopping myself. Eret yawned miserably.

"Do you mind taking her back tonight Snotlout? I'm beat." He said stretching.

"Sure." I shrugged.

I know I've been distant. But, they obviously want each other. Not much for me to be enthusiastic about really. They obviously work well together. He's helping her better herself. Something I couldn't do. I don't know why they don't just stay in Hiccup's hut together...I walked around picking up Thora. It's been a while since I've carried her anywhere. I've been busying myself with other things.

"Thank you..." She said quietly. She was obviously exhausted.

"You're welcome..."

"Are you okay?" She asked after a while of silence.

"Why wouldn't I be? You're the one that's crippled. Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"

"You're rambling." She spat out.

"Was I? I didn't notice..." I shrugged it off.

"Snotlout...You really don't have to feel guilty you know. I wouldn't let you help. I didn't want help. But, I needed it. And you didn't give up. That's what I needed..."

"I'm sorry for ditching you." I said coldy.

"I know Tuffnut hit a nerve, and I shouldn't have given you a temper over it. I was just upset because the one person I expected to come back, that night didn't. I hardly slept. I looked like a drunk laying face first on the table all night."

"That's why you asked if I went back to the hut!?" I can't believe the twins didn't take her home!

"Before you flip out. I told the Twins not to bother. I thought you were coming back. It was my fault." She was really tired...

"I'm really fine you know. You don't have to worry about me. I'm a Jorgenson for crying out loud." I laughed.

"You're my Jorgenson, and don't you forget that. That's why I'll worry about you as much as I please..." She laughed back barely finishing her sentence. I laid her on her side on the bed. I laid next to her Hookfang on the floor in front of the bed. I laid on my back closing my eyes. Right before I drifted to sleep I felt Thora place her hand on my chest as the other laid under her head. I pulled one of my arms from behind my head and placed her hand under mine. I moved closer her head was now laying on the front of my shoulder. Why does she keep forgiving me?
