Hiccup x Astrid Forever and Always

Chapter8

hiccup

mom sent out search parties all around  the island dad left on his Dragon and Toothless and I have  been flying around berk

"I don't think she's on berk bud" I growl in frustration after half an hour of searching  "c'mon let's go check other islands" toothless let's out a purr and soon we're flying to the islands that surround berk we searched  day and night but we still don't find Astrid I search caves, some of our hiding spots for when Ruff Tuff and Snotlout got on our nerves, but still she's no where to be  found! we even searched the cove many times l,checked all the  places she liked to throw her ax, but no matter how many times I think she's just gonna show up I know deep down she's not here or anywhere close to berk....

hours later I find myself  at the cove just sitting at the  pond  trying to consider where Astrid  might be when I hear my father shouting my name I cup my hand  around my mouth "over here dad!" soon my father burst through the woods into the clearing he looks short of breathe and kind of excited I stand up " um what has you so happy?"  I ask kind of afraid of what he'll say " we think we might know where Astrid is!" "well let's get the neck out of here!" I jump on toothless and don't wait for his response before we ran  to the air

soon he's in the air with us and  is leading us to  Astrid

we fly for a couple  of hours until the shore of outcast island appears in the distance of course why didn't I think of this?! I think as  we get closer I lean down to toothless's ear "c'mon bud let's go a little faster!" and soon we're speeding past dad and skull crushed onto the shore of outcast island I hop off toothless and look around a little I notice a trail of footprints that don't belong to a person they're not ours I'm sure of that so I decide to follow them they twist all around the island it takes about an hour before we come to a stop in front of a cave I look  at toothless and  begin to walk in I hear footsteps and assume it's my father but that's where I was wrong

toothless who was watching me suddenly let's out a low growl I turn around alarmed. when she walks through I clearing holding her bow and arrows in hand toothless an  I take defensive stances  "where's Astrid?" I ask narrowing my eyes as she  realizes toothless is with me an  backs up a little "she's safe with Heather where you can't reach her" merida hisses back at me her eyes meet mine and I wanted to go insane when she smirked at me "you've hurt her haven't you" "well the Dragon trainer does have a brain, yes we've hurt her but only to get you back hic" " don't call me hic my name is hiccup and I'm gonna take a guess and say she's in this cave" I snarled at her backing in to cave  but soon my arms are pinned beh in  my back and a knife is at my throat that's already coated in blood"well hicky it's been fun hanging here with Astrid but time for you to watch her leave" Heather says marching me out of the cave as Merida drags out a unconscious Astrid "Astrid!" my heart starts beating rapidly when I see she's still breathing I try running for her but the strong hold on my arms an  knife at my neck prevent this toothless growls getting closer to meridian a  she pulls out her bow an  arrows and aims them at Astrid. She's startled but focusses her attention on killing Astrid  tears fall from my face as  I watch merida let the arrow fly screaming for her to stop but it was  to late the arrow had left the bow and almost made contact with Astrid's chest. Astrid however wasn't the one killed by it  my father runs through the woods and jumps in front of Astrid. I scream in horror as the arrow pierces his chest......
