5 years ago, Hiccup was supposedly killed by the monstrous nightmare. A midnight black night fury took him to a place never found. 2 months later, Hiccup is declared dead after months of searching. Most people got over it fast, he was the village r...
I pulled myself onto Toothless' back and clicked my metal leg into place.
"Commander! Commander!" Astrid came rushing up and clearly stated:
"I'm coming."
"No you are not." I looked at her. Was she serious?
"Oh yes I am!"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"YES."
"Why the heck do even want to come?!?"
"You know what happened to you last time? That is not happening again!"
Astrid P.O.V
"And why would you care?!?" The Commander snapped.
"Because, I don't want you hurt!" I said. I don't know why I cared so much about this guy, but I just did.
"Why? People don't care!" he huffed.
I was taken aback. People don't care?
"Really, people do. "
"Well, they don't care about me." He made a furious hand gesture toward himself.
And with that, he flew away.
I decided to follow him. I tramped up the hill into Berk's vast forest. I hacked away fallen branches with my axe. My mother had given me this axe, before she died, it was my most prized possession, apart from the necklace that hung around my neck.
"UUUGH!" Was a call I heard as I neared a cliff.
"Toothless, let me get this straight , the Changewings will only behave on the condition that we bring a basket of fish every. Single. Morning?!?
I peeked my head around a tree to see the night fury nodding. Dragons nodded?!?
Commander P.O.V
Toothless nudged the satchel on my hip and flipped it open, he pulled a sketchbook onto the ground and started flipping the pages with his claw, until he found a certain picture.
It was a picture of Astrid, Which I'd drawn from memory, back at the cave.
"I'm not apologizing to her, she's so stubborn! It's not my fault I snapped!" I told the dragon.
The Night Fury looked at me and shoved me over.
" I guess she doesn't know about all the things that happened to me, and my life before, this."
Astrid P.O.V
"Before what?" I said sitting myself beside the commander, who was lying down flat looking defeated.
" WHA –OH - I- HEH -SORRY!" He sat up quick as a flash, and dusted himself off.
" Did I just scare the unshakeable, powerful Dragon Commander?" I said in a mocking voice.
" Unshakeable?"
"That's what I said"
"I'm not unshakeable!" he shook his head. "Everyone has a weak spot. I'm not as 'powerful and unbeatable and amazing' as people say I am."
He looked at a cloud floating in the sky, lay back, furrowed hid brows and sighed"
"What's wrong?" I poked at his side.
"Life is complicated. Clouds don't have problems."
Things where silent and there was a sense of awkwardness in the air. I had to make conversation.
"Family" I said.
"What?" he looked confused.
"Let's talk about family. Have you got any siblings?"
"No, never did." He said as he traced his finger over the scales on his suit.
" Where are your parents?"
He was silent and I saw his eyes widen.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Me and my nosey questions!"
"No! No! it's fine. Mum was taken when I was a baby and my dad..."
" Right."
"Have you ever, um, loved someone?" way to go Astrid, way to go.
"No" he sighed. "Unsurprisingly not"
"Unsurprisingly?"
"People know the dragon Commander, they don't know me. "
...
...
...
...
"Should we go back now?" I said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, sure" He hopped on 'Toothless' and motioned for me to come.
"I am not getting on that thing!" I stamped my foot. "If you didn't know already, he is the unholy offspring and lightning and death itself!"
"I know, I know! Just, come. He won't hurt you."
I shuffled forward. He wrapped his hand around mine and pulled me up.
Commander P.O.V
I took her hand and helped her up behind me. When she leaned against me, I felt her heart beating, hard and fast.
"What did I say? He isn't going to hurt you. You'll be fine"
