Dying is easy, living is harder

Part 1

Hi everyone! So you know how some people go on revenge fics where the main character that was treated badly gets to watch those who mistreated him regret it. It's usually a watching the movie type of fanfic? So I've wanted to do one really badly for a long time about Hiccup Haddock. Let's face it, in the first movie he was treated like shit for pretty much no reason. Love the other characters but my heart still wants to make them regret it. I've had this idea stuck in my head of a modern (or future) Hiccup in the Hunger Games. So I decided to make him a her. She's now Annie Haddock from District Four! This is just a joint of what's to come. If there's any questions just leave a comment below! :)

It was a Tuesday morning like any other that turned Astrid's world upside down. It started off normal. She ate breakfast in a rush, took the bus and sat beside Heather as they waited for Mrs. Reynolds, their english teacher, to arrive. They chatted about Heather's upcoming party which will be held after their track meet.

In fact, it was going off on a better than normal start as Snotlout hadn't arrived yet and it looked like he wasn't going to be in class at all for the day.

Mrs. Reynolds entered the class and immediately the students hushed. They could sense something was off. She was pale faced, accompanied by the school's principal and a downcast Snotlout.

Her first thought was what had he done now? His shoulders were hunched, he wouldn't look up to meet the questioning and slightly excited eyes of the twins who, like her, were wondering what prank he had attempted and got caught red handed baking up. It had to be good to leave him like this.

They had never seen him this, well, shaken. Just how much trouble is he in for? After a prank gone wrong, he usually blustered for a bit until his father showed up and he then begged for forgiveness. He wasn't this... solemn.

To her surprise, Mrs. Reynolds placed a comforting hand on Snotlout's shoulder and simply guided him to his seat.

Principal Higgins finally spoke, his voice cutting the tension like a sharp knife.

"Some of you may know that your classmate Annie Haddock is a dual citizen of Europe and Panem's district 4."

What the hell does Annie have to do with this? She snuck a look at Snotlout, Annie's cousin, and a sinking feeling started building in her stomach. What could her dual citizenship in the infamous and isolated nation warrant this class interruption? The principal continued his speech in a grim voice paying no attention to the raised hand of Fishlegs.

"Due to this technicality, she has been... eligible for a vile show in Panem called the Hunger Games for the last six years. She's been making yearly visits for the durations of the games to her hometown in District Four." Higgins scowled, losing control for a few seconds, letting his real feelings of disgust towards the Capitol of Panem through.

She couldn't blame him, everyone feels similarly towards that nation but she wished he would hurry up. What does Annie's trips have to do with this? They had all already been aware, at least the old gang is, that she had left for Panem. She usually comes back two or three weeks later to a mountain of homework and a few tests.

"As she's eighteen now, this was meant to be Annie's last year having to return but..." he broke off, bringing a hand to cover his eyes. He dragged it down to his mouth where it rested for a second before he took a deep breath and continued once more.

"Annie Haddock was nominated as a tribute for the Hunger Games."

It was a Tuesday like any other in Astrid's life, only it wasn't because Annie Haddock had been marked for death.
