Heathers pov

It's been 5  months since I arrived at the edge with wind shear they welcomed me nicely and complimented my switch ax
but I saw her again...

Astrid...

"Hey, heather!"

Astrid called out to me
I realized I must have been spacing out because she snapped me out of my zone

"Oh! Hi Astrid how are you doing?"

Oh gods that was terrible my voice cracked and it was really shaky
"Good! You do realize I've been looking for you right?"

She said in her angelic voice

"You have? Sorry, Astrid, I was sharpening my ax."
I apologized

"Oh okay, ax throwing practice with me at dawn?"

Astrid asked

"Yeah sure!"

I practically chirped when I said that

"Okay see you then!"

Windshear nudged me with her snout and purred

"How do you always know when I'm off windy?"

She simply nuzzled into the crook of my neck and cooed
She so sweet my silver-plated dragon

Astrids pov

She's acting off
Heather never shares anything with me
She's so secretive im practically her best friend. Why won't she tell me what's bothering her? She always looks so depressed and sad,
am I not doing enough?
I invited her to ax practice to tell her about it
Let's hope it goes well

At dawn

"Hey, Astrid!"

She said

"Hey, Heather! Ready for practice??"

I replied

"Yep, I've got my ax modified!"

She bragged

"As if that's going to stop me from beating you."

I purred

"Oh, not today Astrid bring it on!"

After clashing our axes a little we started to get more aggressive, she swung her ax at me, I ducked quickly. To dodge her attack
She pinned me on the floor to knock my ax out of my hands.

"Hah, I win!"

Heather said
I didn't know if she was blushing or just flushed from the combat we just engaged in

After a while, I decided to ask my burning question

"Hey, heather?"

"Yeah Astrid?"

"Why don't you ever share anything with me anymore?"

"What do you mean?! I share stuff with you?"

"No, you don't! I always ask how you're doing and you always say the same damn thing!"

"It's because I don't feel like sharing!"

"Why?! You can talk to me but you always choose to keep it in!"

"WELL, IM SORRY IM NOT TALKING ABOUT IT!"

"Heather-"

"No... just leave me alone."

Narrator pov

After that heather didn't talk to Astrid for a bit. Hiccup had invented a training bot made with ropes and pulleys, heather would use it every day with her razor whip
. Astrid would just watch her fight that bot 24/7 wishing that she didn't have that conversation with Heather.

One night Astrid had checked on heather in her hut but she wasn't there soon she heard a scream of pain outside. Astrid ran as fast as she could to the arena, she found heather on the floor crying in pain. Astrid saw that she had a bunch of bruises and cuts on her face.

"Hiccup really needs to modify this thing."

Astrid thought
She picked up heather and carried her to her hut where she put heather on her bed and got the bandages and cut sanitizer from her shelves. Astrid lifted Heather's shirt and was surprised to see that heather had abs ...and a large bruise and lots of cuts on her stomach she bandaged her up and dressed her in some comfortable clothes.
She left heather in her bed because she didn't want to carry her to the hut again so she just slept in the bed next to heather.

Heathers pov

I woke up in a different place...
WAIT- where am I? the last thing I remember is passing out in the arena and someone carrying me who was it? I was in a bed and I realized there was an arm around my waist I looked behind me and it was Astrid...
ASTRID?! I started blushing
Her eyes fluttered open and she turned me around and hugged me
I practically turned into a strawberry at that point

Astrid apologized to me about how pushy she was being and she was glad I was okay 

i tried to get out of bed but couldn't because of my bruises

"Do you need any help heather?".

Astrid asked me

"Well uh a little ."

I answered

Without any further words she picked me up and carried me to the bench be the arena .
When we got there all the boys
,and ruffnut who technically counts as a boy ,were there hiccup was eyeing us .
Astrid sat me down on the bench in the arena and pulled out a leather satchel ..
