Hiccup x Astrid Forever and Always

Chapter13

Hiccup

When I finally get to Merida's kingdom we land in the forest. "Alright bud go hide if people see you....well just stay until I can get Astrid out of there" toothless purrs and I pat his head walking off into town.

Old memory's flood into my mind as I walk through town square. People give me strange looks but I don't care. I see the castle and take off running. I burst through the doors and make sure I wasn't seen before walking further in.

I sneak around as quietly as I can. I get lost a lot of times and from the windows I pass I can see that its getting dark. I've been here all day?! Geeze hope Astrid and toothless are okay... I think as I turn the corner. I almost die of a heart attack and scramble back around the corner when I see two guards walking out of a room. "Did ya hear what Merida said?" One of them asks in a heavy Scottish accent. "Ya the berkian girl doesn't stand a chance" berkian?! Astrid! "Well I hope they go easy on her" "why's that?" " I hear she married to the  soon to be cheif of Berk and she's pregnant" they get closer and I hide behind a plant taller than me as they pass and one of the guards muffles an "oh" at the news of Astrid carrying my child.

I wait until I can't hear them anymore and inch toward the room they came from. From that room I hear a familiar voice. "What are you doing with those?!" Astrid almost shrieks. I peek through the crack in the door and see her standing up feirce look on her face but her arms and legs are restrained and she can't move any closer "oh nothing its just time we got you out of the picture.." Heather says turning Astrid's ax around in her hands "looks pretty sharp let's see if it stays in that pretty head of yours fearless Astrid Hofferson..." Heather says smirking.  Astrid snarls yanking on the chains trying to step forward "its Haddock now and I know Hiccup will save me before you get the chance to hurt me!" Heathers face cringes into and angry one as she throws the ax toward Astrid....

Of course she dodges it in time for it to slam into the wall. I breathe a sigh of relief but the suck that in deeply and Merida throws a knife that hits Astrid's stomach above the bump just barley I couldn't help myself I push open the door and charged for Merida I knock her to the ground towering over her " never hurt her again!" I turn to heather who's reaching for more weapons  for a moment we look each other in the eye and right as she throws a knife I dodge ducking down to kick her legs bringing her on her back. Yes! I grave the ax and try to get Astrid free danf it! This isn't working... I while as lout as I can toothless and my call. And right as Merida gets out her bow toothless once again blast through the wall and shoot the chains from Astrid's hands and feet. " great job bud let's get out if here now! Go! Go!" I help Astrid on and in front of me so I can hold her close to me again. Apparently Merida has really good vision because less than a minute after were in the air Merida shoots toothless fake tail knocking off the rode which is somewhere in the forest below us!! We fall and my first instinct is to make sure Astrid lands on me or toothless. Luckily she lands on toothless who purs  I help her up push her behind me as I grab my shield which is also a crossbow from toothless saddle. Once I see Merida about 10 feet away I notice there's blood on my pants on toothlesses saddle but especially on Astrid's leg.... "Um babe I know this is the wrong time but uh what's wrong with your leg?!" " they cut my leg in the same spot when they first took me they reopened the cut which was pretty deep so let's Hurty up and get out of heherup" But Merodas here now "um I think we have someone to deal with first" I slowly convert the shield to a cross bow and put the arrow in its place ready to shoot.  But I guess I was wrong. We don't have yo just deal with Merida but heather too....who  is close enough to me to hit me in the head. With what I don't know but it was hard and hurt like..well you know... And I fell to the ground. Barley conscious Astrid graves my sheild and stands in front of me "stay away from him!" Heather and Merida back up to meet each other and the next thing I know a knife comes toward my head as I sit up. But cuts deeper into Astrid's leg. I'm still recovering from a huge head ache when toothless shoots down heather....and Astrid.. Aims tge cross bow at merida gives out a pained shriek,and shoots her through the heart.....before collapsing on the ground. I pick her up and hold her  crying as she blacks out...........
