Chapter 5 - Past, present, future

Astrid P.O.V

     I wake up, the sun shining, terrible terrors are singing on the rooftop.

     Stormfly jumps on my roof out of sudden. "Stormfly, go back to sleep!" I groaned and buried my face on my pillow again. The dark abyss consume me once again.

     I was having a peace and quite here, but suddenly there's a hand on my shoulder. I jumped and scream loudly as I threw a pillow at a dark figure. "Don't worry Astrid, it's just me." he laughs at my reaction.

     "What are you doing here Hiccup?" I asked angrily for ruining my sleep and completely embarrassed me even though there's no one in my house except Stormfly and maybe also Toothless. "Gobber asked me to wake you up, and which I did." Gobber is somewhat a fatherly figure for me. He was there when nobody's there for me. I see him as my family, and my family he is.

"Astrid, I didn't ment to scare you. I did not know you're a grumpy sleeper." he exclaims. I sigh and pat on some space of my bed to let Hiccup sit. "Don't ever do that again!" I warned and punch his shoulder, this time harder than before. He groans in pain cause even though I'm still lazy in the morning, I'm strong enough to punch him after what he did. "Sorry?" he finally said breaking the silent. "Yeah, I guess."

He scratch the back of his neck. Nervous. Uncomfortable. I stood up, and left the room. Soon, he followed me from behind as I was about to leave my house.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked. I raised my eyebrows, my hands found their way to cross infront of my chest.

"My usual hang out place with Stormfly." I simply answer, not wanting to lie about it.

"And where could that be?" It seems that he really want to know exactly where I'm headed to.

"Somewhere out there." I exclaims, waving my hand in the air.

"Astrid, where?" he asked again.

"The forest." I sigh, I avoid arguments between us for now.

"Ah, I remember. You love being in the forest alone and practice your axe throwing there."

"Yeah... Wait, how come you know so much about me?"

"I see you there constantly."

"Nevermind, forget that I asked. It's a stupid question." Forest is practically my getaway spot. The sound of the nature calm my inner, more silent than loud. It soothes me, and it's my favorite place to be.

"Can I come too?" he asked hopefully.

"I don't know, aren't you scared to go to the forest? Inside the wild of nature, where predators can easily attack you behind the shadows."

"Me? scared? Never! And that is seriously dramatic anyways."

"Well I guess only Fishleg that is afraid to go to the forest."

"He is?" he sounds a bit surprised.

"Yeah. Let's go, c'mon Stormfly!" I mounted my dragon, Stormfly and flew to the forest as fast as I could.

"I care for her bud, I'm not going to lose her again." He said behind me with Toothless. I don't think he expect me to hear that, But I just did. Hiccup do care for me.

I smiled and lay down on Stormfly's back. Looking up at the sky. Clouds, fresh air, aye what a day.

     "Enjoying the fine morning, m'lady?" he flys besides me and hopped to Stormfly. Wait, what about Toothless?!
