Chapter
Hiccups POV…
My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, soon to be the late Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. I was sitting in my room balled up in the corner closest to the window, hiding and crying my eyes out; the reason for this was because I was in really REALLY big trouble for something I didn't even do. It was all Snotlout and Tuffnuts fault.
Flashback
I was walking through the woods, testing out how well my prosthetic was handling, since I had very well made some tweaks so it closely resembled a foot. It was still a regular day in Berk, until something hit my head; the blow knocked my down for a moment, as I rolled around clutching my head.
I take a look and see a branch lying on the ground. It was odd considering that all these trees were old and tough, I look up at the tree in question and see Snotlout and Tuffnut perched in the tree.
Snotlout was holding what appeared to be a spyglass while Tuffnut waited eagerly. I follow the direction of where they are looking and fell sick in my gut. They were looking at the women's hot springs that was very close, where Astrid and Ruffnut were probably bathing.
Even though Astrid wasn't really my girlfriend, it didn't stop me from climbing the tree and talking to Lout and Tuff. I managed to get to some of the higher branches before Tuffnut noticed me.
"Hiccup," he said.
"HICCUP!?" Snotlout shouted, unfortunately then the branch I was on snapped and I went falling back to the ground.
I must have hit my head because then everything went fuzzy, I heard two thumps, then something was put in my hand. I used the thing in my hand to try and push myself up, but the thing seemed to shrink and I soon face-planted on the forest floor.
I tried to pick myself up again, my vision clearing up, when I was able to see, I was finally able to pick myself up.
"Hiccup," I hear a voice say.
I turn to see a shocked Astrid and Ruffnut, they were all dressed and their hair wet. Astrid looked shocked and…sad? Ruffnut though had rage building up on her face.
That's when it clicked, they just got out of the hot springs, that's when I remembered Lout and Tuff and the object. I look down at my hand and see the spyglass; they must have thought I was spying on them. Rather than explaining, which I probably should have done, I sprinted away, for fear of my life.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU HADDOCK!" Ruffnut shouted.
Since I knew the forest well, I weaved and ran through the forest, taking the heavily threshed routes to lose the angry teenage girls. It was late when I returned back to the village, but for some reason, everyone was giving me dirty looks, even Gobber looked at me and shook his head.
I was curious, but then Fishlegs came up to me, "Hiccup, don't worry, I done believe it," he said.
"Believe what?" I asked.
"Snotlout and Tuff came running in the village, saying that they saw you peeping on the girls and when they said your name, you said you could do whatever since you saved the village from the Red Death."
I was shocked at what Fishlegs said. Did the village really believe that I would do that? Why would Snotlout… wait he would do this, he's a jerk of a cousin, he has always been my main tormentor. Always calling me Useless and shoving me into the dirt, him and Tuffnut would beat me when I told on them and none of the villagers would help.
My face felt hot for all of a sudden, after everything I had done. After saving them from the Red Death, after helping with the dragons, they would still me as a screw-up.
I pushed past Fishlegs and ran to my house, feeling hot, salty tears pouring down my face, I quickly run inside, up the stairs to my room and lock the door. I even push my desk against it for good measure, I wanted to be left alone, forever.
I had downed, crippled, and tamed the unholy offspring of lightning and death, returned its power of flight, killed a giant monster dragon, ended a three hundred year war, and lost part of my leg in the process. Yet after Snotlout lied about how I was spying on girls, I had suddenly become Hiccup the Creeper, the person who had let fame go to his head.
I heard flapping wings and Toothless came in through the window, he looked at me and gave me his gummy smile.
"Hiya bud," I say.
Toothlesses eyes widen, he then gave a concerned croon, Hiccup smiles slightly and rubs Toothlesses head.
Toothless knew something was wrong with his rider, every time he smiled for Hiccup, he would laugh before saying hello. Did this have something to do with his mate? She came up to him while he was eating fish, asking if he knew where his rider was located, the strange part was that it wasn't a nice question. She had thrust her axe forward and demanded.
"YOU CAN'T HIDE IN THERE FOREVER HADDOCK YOU HAVE TO COME OUT SOMETIME"
I took a small peek outside; Astrid Hofferson was sharpening her axe with the whetstone she always carried around with her. She then shot a glare right at me and I quickly ducked back down behind the window, I knew from experience in the Kill Ring that she can really hold a grudge.
She was right though I couldn't hide forever she and Ruffnut told everyone what she thought I did
Everyone was so mad at me, even Gobber, who I thought would always be there for me. Dad had tried to come in and talk, but he couldn't, due to the blocked door.
Thank Odin it was almost sundown she had been put on a curfew ever since she snuck out and followed me to the cove.
"YOU'RE LUCKY I'M STILL UNDER CURFEW OR YOU'D BE SO DEAD"
I looked out the window and saw Astrid walk home fuming
"Sigh finally she's gone, I can't live like this, everyone mad and Astrid and Ruffnut trying to kill me. This is worse than me being Hiccup the Useless," I say to Toothless, who gave a sad croon.
I needed to leave Berk, for good this time. A few hours later in the dead of night, I had used some blankets and a pillow to make it seem like I was sleeping and I snuck out of my house and hurried to the forge. If I had to leave, then I would take everything with me, I moved to the back room and snatched up all my sketches and designs for Toothlesses tail. I also snagged some tools for a forge, hopefully wherever I would stay, they would have a forge.
I put on my riding gear and make sure the saddle's adjusted.
"Alright bud, you ready?" I say, Toothless nods his head.
"Then lets go" and with that me and Toothless were off to find a new home, away from Berk.
Next Day
Astrids POV…
I was ready to beat the crap out of Hiccup; I heard everything that Gobber heard. How dare that fishbone think he could strut around like he owned the place after he saved us, I never thought Hiccup could have the arrogance that Snotlout had, he always seemed so nice, but then again, who really knew Hiccup.
I was creeping up the steps to Hiccups room, when I had come into the house; Stoick was sitting there by the hearth eating some cod. He didn't pay me any attention as I moved to the stairs, I had just reached the door and I slowly opened it.
Hiccup was fast asleep, buried under the covers, unaware that soon he would be buried under the dirt. I carefully stepped forward before leaping into the bed with a shout.
"Morning Haddock, get ready for a day from Hel," I growl.
Hiccup didn't do anything, in fact he didn't move at all. Puzzled, I move the covers to see a pillow and blankets. With a shriek of frustration I threw myself at the stairs, taking them two at a time.
"Where's Hiccup," I say to Stoick.
Stoick looks up shocked, "Hiccup isn't in his bed?" he asks.
Then it made sense, in fear (and rightly so) he had probably left his house, I dashed out the door and for the rest of the day I was searching all over Berk, looking in the forest, the caves, everywhere.
It was later that day, the sun was going down as she stared out at the ocean.
"I'll find you Haddock, wherever you are I will find you!" she shouted.
Nothing responded except the sound of the crashing waves.
That was the first chapter folks, tell me what you think. Peace, have a great day and God Bless
