Running Away

Chapter 1: The Plan

Hiccup's POV

     "Congratulations Hiccup! You get to kill the dragon!" Gobber slapped me on the shoulder before I was carried away on people's shoulders.

     I heaved a sigh. I was afraid this was going to happen. How am I supposed to kill the Monstrous Nightmare without losing Toothless's trust. I wasn't going to kill the dragon. I then formed a plan. I was going to run away with Toothless to save him and myself. After I was set down just outside of the Academy I took off running to my house. I burst through the door luckily my dad wasn't home. I ran up the stairs grabbing a basket throwing items into it. I grabbed spare charcoal, paper, a blanket and pillow, spare boots and clothes, designs of my inventions, and drawings of Toothless. I ran back down the stairs and out the door into the village. Everyone was still in the Great Hall celebrating, me.

     I ran to the forge and into my office. I grabbed spare metal parts, some tools, and more blueprints. When I heard a noise I quickly hustled out the back door running into the forest. I didn't look back. I ran to the cove where Toothless greeted me.

     "Hey bud. We're leaving. Me and you. No one wants me here anyway. Grab some fish will ya? I'll pack it then we'll leave." I patted his head and smiled sadly.

     He seemed to understand and walked to the pond. He caught a big load of fish and I packed that as well saving some for him to eat.

     "Ready bud??" I tied the basket to the back of his saddle and almost climbed on when I heard grunts and curses.

     It sounded like a girl's grunt. It must be Astrid. Crap. Time to move to Plan B. Run away with everyone watching me.

     "Toothless hide out here until tomorrow. I'll come for you. Stay safe and don't blow anything up." I rubbed his head and headed out of the exit to the cove.
Astrid 's POV

     A bush rustled behind me. I ripped the axe out of the tree and whipped around. I saw Hiccup running away towards the village. I decided to not follow him back and continue throwing my axe in rage.
Hiccup's POV

     Dang. Astrid saw me. I'm dead. Wait, she didn't follow me. Weird. I went home and up to bed thinking about Plan B.
