When Hiccup takes an arrow for him, Tuffnut regrets not listening to the medical training Fishlegs tried to teach him.

Time: Season 3 RTTE

~O~

Today really wasn't Hiccup's day.

First, the Riders are forced to land on an unfamiliar island due to a large storm. Secondly, said storm spooked their dragons. Thirdly, Hiccup was stuck with Tuffnut due to his sister daring him to. And finally, the two had been ambushed by Dragon Hunter's with only Macey and Hiccup's shield to fend themselves with.

"This day just couldn't get any better." Hiccup muttered sarcastically as he blocked a blow from a Dragon Hunter with his shield.

"I don't know," Tuffnut replied knocking out the man that attacked Hiccup, "a few explosions always makes my day better! Like that one time back on Berk when Ruffnut and I-"

"Tuffnut!" Hiccup yelled shutting him up. "Can you please focus on the matter at hand?"

The man replied by knocking out another Hunter.

Hiccup looked around the clearing they were in as the number of Hunter's depleted.

This was the point when Hiccup's day went from really, really bad to really, really, really bad.

There were only about three Hunter's left; two with a sword and one with a bow. Tuffnut and Hiccup were able to take down the two with the melee weapons better than they had imagined possible, but just as they thought the last one was about turn and run for the hills, he did something that came as an unpleasant, unexpected surprise.

Usually, unless Dagur, Ryker or Viggo were present and ordered otherwise, the Hunter's would simply try and capture the Rider's. This man was different. He drew an arrow and aimed right for Tuffnut. This man was ready to kill.

What happen next seemed to happen in slow motion.

The Hunter let the arrow loose and before he had time to think about what he was doing, Hiccup shoved Tuffnut to the side, the Thorston falling roughly to the ground.

Hiccup then watched as the arrow peirced his chest, while he had expected it to hurt, never had he been able to fathem this much pain. However, despite the blinding pain that course through his body, Hiccup could only let out a muffeled cry as the impact forced him to the ground.

Time sped up again.

Tuffnut pushed himself up unawre of what Hiccup had done for him. "What was that for?" He yelled turning towards where Hiccup was.

Any annoyance Tuffnut held against Hiccup vanished. The sight he saw made sure of it. Hiccup lay on the ground, weazy gasps for breaths, with an arrow protruding from the right of his chest.

Sorry that this to so long to post. I've just been super busy with work and school. Hopefully the next chapter should be up in the next 48 hours!
