Explainations
ASTRIDS POV
After the events last night with hiccup I knew the others would want the full low-down, I told Fishlegs about the eyes and the dream I had. He was very fascinated but everyone else seemed terrified, I wouldn't blame them.
"Who knows what will happen to him in three days, he might snap." Fishlegs said as jittery as ever "I know but we need to get the ingredients, we can cure him before that happens, let's just go to gothi's and get a head start." I suggested, they all agreed and we started our silent trek through the village to gothi's.
No one talked the whole way, it was just thoughts, I was thinking about Hiccup obviously, I loved him but I feared him as well. But I had hope too, surely gothi would have the other ingredients, it's just the lycanwolf saliva that will be hard to get. Gods help him
oOo
Sure enough gothi has everything else we needed, we did not tell her what we needed it for but she gave them to us anyway. Making the incomplete mixture in silence.
It was purple, very goopy, disgusting really. We only needed the saliva now, but where to get it.
"Where are we supposed to get lycanwolf saliva?" Fishlegs asks "just get it from Hiccup." Snotlout answers smugly "but we can't, it has to be full form lycanwolf." Fishlegs replies clearly annoyed. "Then just take it from him when he is!" Snotlout snaps back "how? He'd have snapped by then! If we tried then we'd be slaughtered on the spot!" I snapped tired of hearing them argue.
We took the goop with us to the Meade hall. Fishlegs inspecting it the whole way. I couldn't help but stare at the prison, I needed to see him, to help him.
I held my arm up to stop the others "we go to the prison, to check on him." I told them "no way! I don't want to be wolf food!" Snotlout yelped "too bad." I replied giving a cold, death stare, he gulped then nodded, we changed paths, on our way to the prison.
oOo
It was cold and quiet, there was not even a guard there, there was not a sound, we listened for a sound, nothing. We walked closer then listened again. There was muttering, heavy breathing. We listened for words.
"I will not!- NO!" He whispers to himself "LEAVE ME!" He whispers again, louder. "You can't make me!" He continued. He's fighting the voice, gods help him.
I alone stepped in front of the door, the others silently yelling at me. My step was intentionally loud to get his attention. It worked.
His head snapped round, his breathing hitched at first, before going back to heavy. His eyes bright and his fangs visible made me shiver.
He stood and walk slowly to me, getting close to the bars until his chest was pressed against them, I noticed his changes, the blood, the tears on his clothes, self inflicted I presume.
"Hicc-" I tried to say until I was cut off by him grabbing my tunic through the bars, slamming me into them. "WHY ARE YOU HERE!? GET OUT!" He roared as I tried to pry away from his grip, it was no use, the others came out of the shadows trying to tear hiccup's hands away. "I WANT YOU GONE! OUT!" He roared before the finally got me away from him, only because my tunic was ripped a bit, it wasn't revealing though.
I began to cry, seeing him a grain away from insanity like this. "Hiccup please." I begged "NO, I WONT LISTEN! YOU DONT WANT TO BE HERE! GO!" He roared again, Snotlout came forth "hey leave her alone, fishbone!" He snapped. Smiling smugly at the fact he was safe behind the bars, not for long based on the fury on Hiccups face.
He stomped to the bars, grabbing them, baring his fangs "YOU ARE A COWARD! FIGHT ME!" He demanded, Snotlout looked at me, smiled then walked to the door, grabbed the key off the wall, unlocked the door and walked in.
"SNOTLOUT GET OUT! YOUR ARM ISN'T EVEN FULLY HEALED!" Fishlegs cried, Snotlout was visibly terrified yet brushed it off.
Hiccup snarled, his fist up in guard "you've made a mistake." He growled as he circled Snotlout as if he were prey, Snotlout held his arms up. Waiting.
He struck letting a powerful right hook aimed at Snotlout's jaws, Snotlout blocked it, and laughed cockily, then was struck with the left hand, sending him to the wall spitting blood. Hiccup did not let him rest, meeting Snotlout at the wall, beating his gut in, before slamming him to the ground. All the while Snotlout spitting more blood.
I opened the door attempting to drag Snotlout out, Hiccup grabbed his legs and pulled back, making me release him. "NO." He growled making me shutter. "He asked for this." He continued as he dragged Snotlout to his feet before slamming his face into the stone wall. Letting him hit the floor with a sickening crack.
"He is not dead, but close to it, take him now if you wish him to live." He spoke softly, Fishlegs quickly obliged and dragged him away to health's aid. I stared at his bloodied body until it was out the door, I turned to Hiccup, expecting him at the wall but I was surprised when he was right behind me, centimeters away from my face.
"Hic-" he cut me off, grabbing my waist with a strong hand, breathing Into the crook of my neck, I was stunned, surely he knows that the twins are here?!
He pressed me up to the wall, still holding me, I was unable to move. "Hiccup please!" I yelled. I knew his intentions, I didn't want that at all.
His head moved, away from my neck his eyes meeting mine, a furious green light, full of lust, yet a smaller sense of inner struggle. His lips meeting mine with a furious force. I struggled to pull away, even when I tried to run he held me back.
"TWINS!" I cried out, hiccup forcing me down on the ground, the twins ran in and tried to pull him off. He hadn't gotten my clothes yet but he struggled against the twins as he tried. Amidst the chaos we didn't hear the door open, the large fire red bearded chief entering.
The twins held his arms back, pulling him away from me, he was pulling against them, growling in anger at being pulled away from his prize. The door opened at that moment, stoick walking in gazing at the madness.
The blood on the floor and walls, the twins holding a restless hiccup back, and my stunned, tired figure lying on the floor. "WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!" He roared at hiccup, who at the moment seemed out of his trance, hiccup looked at his seething father, then at me.
"I- I don't, h-how" He was at a loss for words "DONT LIE BOY! YOU DID THIS!" Stoick roared, we don't want stoick to know about Hiccup being a lycanwolf, but what other way is there that might reduce punishment? I stood and went in front of Hiccup facing stoick "it's not his fault!" I exclaimed "how so?!" Stoick asked still infuriated "it's a curse! He can't help it! We found a cure but we haven't finished it!" I explained quickly, stoicks face turning to fear "what curse?" He asked quietly "I'm a lycanwolf." Hiccup answered for me, stoick turned back to me in anger "a lycanwolf?! How long ago did this happen? Why haven't you told me?!" He questioned "1 week and 3 days ago he was bit, we thought we could cure him before this and that if we told you, you would harm Hiccup." I answered truthfully
The twins finally let Hiccup go, I shot back in fear he'd go after me, stoick walking up to Hiccup and inspecting him. "Has he got his mark yet?" He asked, I shook my head
"And about that cure, what's the last piece?" He asked hopefully "well it's hard to get but it's lycanwolf saliva, it has to be a full form lycanwolf to work." I informed him, his face fell, but it showed he was thinking as well "Well is there a way to dwarf it? You know stop it temporarily?" He asked
"Fishlegs did say something about it this morning." I thought out loud "in order for it to be dwarfed it needs the spit of a pre-lycanwolf and that so happens to be right there." I said as I pointed to hiccup "okay so he just needs to spit into the goop you've already got? And it stops it for a while?" He asked to confirm, I nodded and grabbed the bowl of purple slime, waking meekly over to hiccup.
I was right in front of him, I held out the bowl, he took it, inspected it, smelled it and gagged "oh HELHEIM no!" He yelled disgusted "cmon it will help." I tried to convince him "I doubt something that smells like death will prevent it." He replied holding to bowl out far away from his face "Hiccup please just spit in it and man up." I said exhausted, he was like a child sometimes.
He reluctantly obliged and spat into the bowl, looked at me, I spark of determination in his eyes the man gulped it down. Gagged and hacked like hel but he did it.
Fishlegs came back just in time to see it "OH NO!!" He screamed in fear "what?! He did it!" I yelled back confused "HES NOT SUPPOSED TO DRINK IT! HES SUPPOSED TO RUB IT INTO THE BITE WOUND!" He yelled back as my face paled "so what did that do?" I asked in fear "you might want to leave the prison cell. NOW." He replied sternly, I ran to the door, shutting it behind me and watched as Hiccup fell to the floor hacking, finally he threw the Thor damned slime up, but it's effects already came in it seemed.
He was raking at the dirt in what seemed like pain, his green torch light eyes beeming in the dark, his screams seemed more guttural, until it was almost drowned sounding, or a growling of sorts. He shot up scratching in a blind fury at the walls, trying to be free of the cell. I could've sworn I whimpered in fear, it was a Loki summoned omen in front of us why wouldn't you be scared.
He must've heard me because his head snapped round, Stoick grabbed my shoulder and pulled me closer to him protectively. Lucky he did because Hiccup shot forward grabbing at the bars and shaking them in a mad fury. Fishlegs was whimpering in the far corner of the room, the twins were just silent as the scene unfolded. "When is he going to calm down!" I yelled over to Fishlegs who hesitantly came over to answer.
"Hopefully in a few minutes." He answered "hopefully?! So you don't know how long this lasts?" I yelled as he backed away at my response "well no. Not many Vikings have ever been lived to get info on a lycanwolf, it's a miracle we have the info we do." He responded matter of factly, I nodded sharply to conceal my anger.
Hiccup was pounding at the bars, if it weren't so dark I'd say he was actually prying them apart. But after some time it became apparent that he was and Stoick put us near the door. The grinding of metal stung our ears as Hiccup denied his captivity, Stoick stood ready to protect us, yet his face showed that the last thing he would do is hurt his only son.
The grinding stopped, the tall figure loomed out into the dark, his green eyes blazing with fury, you could hear his raspy breathes from afar. He turned to Stoick, the chieftain was battle ready, yet I knew even he was shook up with this sight straight out of a nightmare.
Hiccup had no weapons but he didn't need them right now, we just prayed to the gods that this effect wore off before he attacked.
It was just a silent standoff, no one moved, or said a word. Except Hiccup, his silent, slow steps getting ever closer to us.
Stoick mumbled something to himself, most likely a prayer. Because Hiccup was right in front of the red bearded man. He placed a careful hand on his fathers shoulder, leaning to his ear to whisper, I leaned in.
"Your lucky, now leave." He whispered threateningly before pushing the chief to the door. We all hurried out without question.
Gods preserve us I silently prayed, because I knew, that was only the beginning.
