YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

-Astrid-

I examined Hiccup. It had been so long since I had last seen him.

His beautiful emerald green eyes that reflected the sun, his rather long auburn locks that I had braided more than once, and his smile, which I didn't see now. His eyebrows furrowed and he suddenly looked enraged.

"Viggo" Hiccup sneered.

I felt the blade of my own axe which Viggo had taken from me earlier press up against my throat.

"Let.Her.Go" Hiccup demanded as he clenched his fists.

I continued watching Hiccup, following his every move. How I wanted to just run over there and let him wrap his arms around me.

What if this is your final moments?

I tried to push that thought to the very back of my head. This was NOT our final moments, I refuse to believe that.

But I still couldn't keep my eyes from filling up with tears as I watched him, knowing this might be the last time I would see him. Knowing that we might never have a future together.

His lips were moving, but I couldn't hear what he said. I furrowed my brows and tried to hear what he said, but it was to no use.

I wanted to scream out to him, but the cold iron blade that was only half a millimeter away from my throat hindered me.

Hiccup pulled out his fire sword. I felt Viggo tense up for a second.

I still couldn't figure out what they were saying.

Suddenly, I saw Viggo touch Stormfly in the corner of my eye, which made me glare at him.

Don't you EVER touch my dragon again! I wanted to sneer at him.

Hiccup pushed a button on his sword, and a spark lit the monsterous nightmare gel on fire, which again lit up the entire blade of the sword.

Hiccup growled.

And then I felt the cold iron blade meet my skin, and then I felt the sensation of blood running down my neck in drops.

Hiccup sent Viggo a death glare, making it look like he was ready to drive his sword through Viggo's abdomen.

"And what can that be?" Hiccup asked in a serious tone as he gripped his sword even tighter than before.

I was so relieved, I could finally hear his voice again! I couldn't wait to—

"Your future"

That was the last thing I heard before Viggo slid the blade of my very own axe across my neck and the pain started shooting in.

At first, I was in shock. I had not expected that he would do this, and then I felt the pain of my slit throat as I was drained of blood faster than you can say "Dragon Rider".

I wanted to put my hands up to my throat to put pressure on it, but my body wasn't responding to me.

I was in so much pain that I didn't even realize that I fell off Stormfly and Viggo had taken off.

I closed my eyes for a second and soon realized how tired I was. When I opened them again, I stared right up at Hiccup.

I wanted to smile, but I was no longer in control of myself. And let me tell you, that truly is a horrible feeling.

I felt Hiccup's cold hands on my throat, pressing down on my wound, causing me even more pain. But it's not like I could straight up tell him.

"Hey Hiccup, do you mind getting your hands off my bleeding throat? You're only making matters worse"

I watched him as he desperately tried to help me, taking in the final moments we had together, because let's be honest, I'm going to die.

As I grew more tired, Hiccup began to cry. I watched as tears filled his beautiful emerald green eyes and rolled down his freckled cheeks.

"You're okay, you're going to be okay" Hiccup cried, getting my blood everywhere.

I wanted to tell him how much I loved him, I tried to force those three words out, but instead of that, I coughed and Hiccup's face got blurrier for every second until I could just see his silhouette.

I'll just take a quick nap, and then I'll wake up again. I told myself as my body shut down.

And then everything went black.
