A Chase That Never Ends

Chapter 4: Asking for Help

Finally. I was out, I couldn't believe that high up here I wound find all of these normal scenery look so beautiful. I guess everything is beautiful depending on your point of view. I never looked at it that way. Hiccup was sure appreciating the view in front.

"Astrid is there something on my face? I'll melt if you keep looking at me like that" he says

"Sorry, it's just.. you seemed so relax" I respond

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" He answers

"Because I could kill you at any moment" I say

"I'll just push you off and you're dead so I won't even have to worry. You should be the one worried cause your life is on my hands" I replied with a fake warm smile. I roll my eyes not caring that he was still looking at me, he chuckled which made the others look our way

"What's the matter Hics?" asked Jack

"Oh, ask the lady riding with me" he replies with a smile

"What?" they all looked at each other confused about Hiccup's response but looked at me trying to catch my eye. Heather just shot me death glares

"Hiccup, if she ever does something that you feel is a threat, don't hesitate to push her off" Heather says, he chuckled in response

"I already warned her but she purposely gave me an eye roll like she doesn't value her life at all" he says looking at me, I didn't look back

"Wow, Astrid you're too brave" Punzie commented

"Well you won't be once you face it" Heather added then left us alone. What's her deal? Oh right, I'm with her crush.. so immature.

"Guys we're here at the black market, I'll go find Johann while you purchase supplies" Hiccup orders

"And you're coming with me" he whispers in my ear, I felt it tickle for a moment. He put a cloak on me so that no one would recognize me, I didn't complain since I don't want him to see my burning cheeks.

When we reached there, Hiccup's hand tightened on me. He knew very well that I could leave clues to let the others know that I was kidnapped but with his hand attached to me like this, I won't be able to make a single move.

I tried to catch Johann's eyes but they were too busy looking at Hiccup's green eyes. I looked around and finally found a way to get his attention. I slightly lifted my head up and for one second he looked at me and moved his head away but looked at me one more time. Hiccup notices this so I quickly bowed my head down not wanting Hiccup to realize that Johann might have an idea.

"Master Hiccup.. who is this fair young lady?" Johann asks, well that's a bit dumb; why would he know that I was a female?

"I.. she's a friend. How did you know that she's a girl?" Hiccup asked and looked at Johann suspicious

"Her.. her actions! They're pretty feminine and her body seems small so.." Johann says

"Not all of those features are girl's" Hiccup says with a suspicious face

"Oh right! Well it's just that, it was a guess, she never even looks at me I could barely notice her. She's so small, now that I remember I used to always forget about my niece because she's too small and I can't seem to-"

"Johann, focus. Are you sure you don't know her at all, not even familiar?" Hiccup added

"No? Should she be? Do I know her master Hiccup?" Johann asks, Hiccup shook his head and pulled me away into a remote area.

He pulled me with a force and pinned me against the wall his other hand holding my wrist as I felt it sting, he holds me like I'm air that would leave within seconds

"Don't do that.." he whispers leaning closer and closer..
