Saving Astrid Final Chapter (Five)

.

.

.

Astrid grabbed a piece of a broken shield and hid behind it. She wiped the blood from mouth with a sigh. The young girl's whole body was shaking. 'Hiccup?' "No way…" She looked around to fine his face. Astrid felt her legs starting to shake and go out on her. "Hiccup..? Was that really you?" her small, weak voice asked. She coughed again falling to her back with a groan. She stared up to the sky; her eye's going out of focus.

She couldn't move any more. Running and fighting off the angry dragon all night without stop had worn her out. The beast never stopped. Its red eyes wide and full of rage the glowed after her all night.

Astrid's now short hair fell across her face. She could feel the ground shake as the Thunder Drum got closer to her. "At least… I got to see you... Hic…" Astrid said softly as her eyes finally focused on Hiccup's face just long enough before they closed as her voice faded away.

"NO!" Hiccup yelled as he saw Astrid stop moving. "Blast it Bud!" He yelled. The Night Fury blasted a hole on the caging and the Berks jumped in.

The Outcast yelled in rage but a loud roar from Hookfang shut them all up. Alvin sat up watching it all go down. He had no interest in killing anyone. True he doesn't like the Berks but he never wanted to kill a child. He got up from his chair and began to walk away.

Cull's voice cut through the air to Alvin's ears when he ran up to him, "Alvin this has gone too far!"

Alvin looked at Cull over his shoulder and the only words that left his mouth were, "I'm done with this," and he continued to walk away.

"Alvin?" Cull asked as he walked with the Outcast leader.

"Just go…"

Cull nodded and ran back.

When Cull got back he saw all the dragons where trying to get the rain dragon calm. Their riders trying the same.

Cull looked over at Astrid to see Hiccup with her.

"Come on… Astrid. Hey Astrid, come on…" Hiccup spoke to the pale, blonde as he tapped her cheeks and face.

No sounds or movement came from Astrid. Hiccup felt a tear roll down his cheek as he continued to try and wake up his personal sleeping beauty.

Cull ran over to the group of Berks, thinking to may be better to not bother Hiccup, and help them. "Hey! You loud mouth!" Cull yelled.

"It's Snotlout, gah... where do people even get "Loudmouth?" Snotlout added really annoyed.

"We need to just knock it out! It was drugged! All it wanted is to taste blood!" Cull tried to help.

The Berks stared at him and then Ruffnut asked, "You're helping us?" Cull nodded as his eyes flicked over to Astrid.

"I love guys that do that…." Ruff added as she grabbed his collar and smiled at him.

Cull laughed and a smiled pulled at his lips as he looked at the goofy girl. "Now, let's take this dragon down."

While the other and the outcast worked on bring down the blood thirsty Thunder Drum, Hiccup had started to taste blood from when he had been biting his lip.

He had let one tear fall and that would be the only one that would. Hiccup stood up a glare in his eyes that had never been there before.

It was the glare of a Viking ready to kill.

Toothless looked at his rider and pulled away with fear.

Hiccup was about to do something that he never could do and never wanted to until he heard a coughing fit rip from Astrid's body. Turning on his heels and looked back at her as her eyes opened just enough to see her bright blue eyes that looked a little faded.

"Astrid…" Hiccup gasped as he went back to her and pulled her into his arms.

(Astrid's POV)

I could feel his warmth again. I could feel I was alive, the flow of energy once again filling my body. I tried to smile because I was was so glad I could feel everything again. The last few moments had been the scariest of my life.

.

I had felt my breath leave my lungs just after Hiccup yelled my name and then I saw his face then it faded away for what I thought would have been the last time.

I opened my eyes to be met by a dull light off in the distance. I tried to call out but I no longer had a voice. I searched the dull, empty space looking for any form of life… or even movement... I craned my neck to see if there was an end to this place when I felt a hand come down on my shoulder.

Jumping, I turned around to see the wrinkly face of my grandfather. I gasped, "Grandpa," with no sound.

He smiled back at me and put his hand on my head. I smile as I looked at the man I haven't seen for at least six years. I bit my lip to stop tears from forming because I had just realized, I am really dead. I'm not just sleeping and waiting for Stormfly to come crashing into my window.

I felt the tears start to spill but only a few made it off my chin because my grandpa stopped them with his large hand.

I gulped shook. I felt my grandpa's hands fall onto my shoulders again. I looked up to his bright n blue eyes that I was lucky enough to have and he pushed me toward a bright light that had started to grow to my right.

His smile grew as he kept pushing me. If I could have found my voice the dull and colorless space would have been full of my screams. All my life had heard, "Don't go to the light!" and things along that nature.

My Grandpa had right in front of the bright light that was now starting to pull me in. I clung to him not wanted to cross over to whatever was on the other side.

With one last smile and a kiss to my forehead he said in his rough, croaky voice, "It's not your time. Keep fighting." And with that he pushed me into the light.

.

I felt a cough rip out of my chest. I slowly started to open my eyes and I saw Hiccup's brown hair in my eyes. I felt him holding me… I was alive, for real. I could still fight.

A smile spread across my face and I breathed out, "Hiccup."

(End Astrid POV)

.

"Astrid." Hiccup said weakly with a smile cracking on his lips. "Don't EVER do that again!" the shaking boy scolded her softly as he took her face in his hands and kissed her dry lips quickly... Hiccup was force to look away from his love when a loud throat clearing sound came from the ground of young Vikings who were all standing looking at the love birds.

"Don't mean to interrupt but we got the dragon…" Fishlegs spoke while pointing to the knocked out Thunderdrum.

"Oh." Hiccup and Astrid said blankly. Astrid started to push herself up when Hiccup said no and pulled her into his arms.

Snotlout's jaw dropped, "Is he really that strong?"

Astrid glared at the dark haired boy and then asked, "Snotlout, are you calling me fat?" Snotlout tried to interject but before he could get anything out Astrid told Ruffnut to punch him for her and Ruff hit him right across the face and he twisted to the ground.

Cull laughed a little awkward and the said "that was pretty cool." He laughed some more.

.

(Back on Berk)

Right as Toothless landed Astrid had started to dos off. Knowing he should let her sleep, Hiccup left her on Toothless and took her home.

Her parents started to cry and kiss her but tried to not to wake her. Before her parents could get her to her room Stormfly had managed to squeezed in the small room and wrapped around her sleeping rider.

Hiccup had made sure none of her wounds were no serious and asked her parents to dress them when she woke up.

Hiccup stood outside Astrid's home knowing he should o and tell his father they had found her but he couldn't get his feet to move himself away from her. "I can't leave for too long Bud, let's go tell Dad and get some food and come back. Sound good?"

Toothless nodded his large head and followed his rider home.

By the time Hiccup go back from his dad's shaking, hugging and yelling it was night and there was a light coming from the window to Astrid's room. Stormfly's large figure was taking up most of the window but Hiccup could make out the light.

Astrid's parents welcomed Hiccup in with open arms. He walked up to Astrid's room while Toothless waited outside knowing the Stormfly took up most of the room. Once he got to her room her knocked on the door frame before walking in. He heard Stormfly growl a little and then Astrid's voice telling him to come in.

Hiccup smiled as he walked in and saw Astrid, sitting up, a new headband across her forehead, her short blonde hair crazy. "Hey Astrid," He spoke as he sat on the side of her bed.

Astrid grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled his lips to hers and captured them in a kiss. "Hey Hiccup." She smiled.

Hiccup could hear how strong her voice was sounding. She was still the same Astrid. Pushy, rude, crazy and all the things that Hiccup loves.

"Sooo… what did I miss?" Astrid asked in an excited tone.

Hiccup laughed awkwardly and shook his head. "That's what you want to know? No. I want to know what happened. Nothing bad did right?" Hiccup stared into her eyes intensely.

"No. I was really okay most of the time…. Cull dropped me on my head and I was out of a day or so, then I fought a dragon. You know nothing that bad." Astrid said it in a nonchalant way.

"Cull..?" Hiccup asked.

"The blond guy."

"Oh… seems like he is going to have his hands full with Ruffnut..." Hiccup laughed.

"What?"

"I'll tell you later."

"Oh, I do need to talk to your dad though. Alvin told me something's… like he has spies over here." Astrid informed Hiccup.

Hiccup opened his eyes wide.

"Yeah… but that can wait until morning… Hiccup... thank you so much of coming to save me."

"Not a problem Astrid, there is anything that would have or could have stopped me." Hiccup's crooked smile spread.

"Hiccup… Can you stay here tonight?" Astrid asked shyly while playing with her hands.

"Pare-"

"Already said its okay."

"Yeah I can." Hiccup put his hand on the back of Astrid's head, he fingers running through her crazy spikes as he pulled her in to kiss her again.

Hiccup and Astrid but had great dreams that night as Hiccup laid with her in his arms and as Astrid laid in the warmth of this arms.

.

In the morning Astrid was up in walking with a little help from Hiccup. She decided to just ride Stormfly. After talking to Stoick she and Hiccup went to see all of their friends. Cull was now among their group of friends now. The darkness that had been his eyes was now all gone and they just shined bright to Ruffnut.

"That is so weird…" Astrid whispered to Hiccup when she saw the look in the new lovey couple's eyes.

"Gah... this is so gross!" Tuffnut groan and Cull just hit him on the head.

"So Astrid… have I ever told you I like short hair?" Snotlout tried to sound cool but failed epically.

"No you haven't… have I ever told you I like brains over bronze."

Hiccup laughed. "Well… Stormfly should be ready to fly in a few days… do you think you will be ready to fly by then?"

"hah..Hah… of course! Plus, I know that you will save me if I need saved."

"Yep! Always saving Astrid right here." Hiccup pointed his thumbs at his chest.

"Hey… not always!" Astrid jokingly punched him.
