Chapter 13

Astrid's P.O.V.

"Fine." I groan.

"What was that?" Hiccup asks, cupping his hand around his ear.

"I said 'fine'!" I snap and he smiles.

"Great!" He cheers and I roll my eyes as he continues to drive.

"Where are you taking me anyway?" I ask after a long pause.

"That is a surprise/secret," he says before pulling over to the side of the road. I glare at him as he opens the glove compartment and pulls out a black neck tie. "Turn around," he orders.

"No," I say, pursing my lips. I hear him sigh in exasperation before he pulls the tie over my eyes and ties it in the back of my head, blinding me. "What's this for?" I ask, annoyed.

"I'm afraid I can't let you see our destination, m'lady," he says and I scoff. I reach for the knot but he grabs my wrist and forces it to my side. "Do you want me to turn this into a full on kidnapping and tie your hands too?" Hiccup asks.

"It already is a kidnapping," I tell him.

"A good-hearted one maybe," he says and I feel the car start to move again before we make a U-turn.

"Trying to confuse my sense of direction?" I ask and sense his shock.

"Is there a hole in that tie?" he asks and I shake my head. I feel the car take a few more turns at random; he was defiantly trying to confuse my sense of direction. A few years ago, this would have worked...but it's not a few years ago. My senses have increased majorly, can't remember when. We go south a few miles and I feel the car turn left before taking a few more turns. We were in a parking lot, and Hiccup was looking for a spot. Soon, the car takes one more small turn before stopping.

"Why were you trying to confuse me?" I ask.

"First, what direction are we facing?" he asks. We were facing west but If I told him the truth, he might not let me out of his sight. If he thought I didn't know the way home, he'll think he won't have to worry about me trying to leave. Easy escape.

"...North," I guess.

"Good," he says slowly before getting out and telling me to wait. By taking away my sight, he enhanced my other senses. I heard him talking to someone on the phone, and I wasn't liking what I was hearing. Once he's done, I hear him open the trunk and the rattling of my leg before he closes it. He then opens my door and taps my shoulder before I swing my leg and 1/2 out and pull up my right pant leg.

"Betcha ten bucks you can't figure out how to attach it," I say and he sighs before shaking my hand, making the deal. I hear him fiddling with the buckles and muttering under his breath. While he's distracted I take the tie off and rest my chin on my palm, staring at him as he examined the gadget, trying to figure it out. After a few minutes, he gives up and looks at me before tying the tie back around my eyes. "Really?! I don't wanna walk blind," I complain as I buckle my leg onto my limb, knowing the layout and amount of clicks by heart.

"You're not going to walk blind. I'm obviously gonna-" I cut him off, not wanting to hear the end of that sentence.

"Pay up," I say, holding my hand out expectantly. I sense him roll his eyes before I feel the pay-per touch my hand. (Get it?) I tuck it into my pocket, trusting he gave me the right amount, and stand up. I close the door and start walking in a random direction.

"Whoa!" Hiccup exclaims before I feel him grab my arms and pull me another way. I let him guide me into a building that smelt...gross... Oh. Heck. No.

"No, nope, nope, nope. Nope. Nope," I say, starting for the door again.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Hiccup says, pulling me back and in yet another direction. He was holding my arms to my sides, making it impossible for me to punch him away.

"I want you to unblind-fold me right now," I growl only for him to chuckle in my ear.

"Or what?" he asks softly as we continue to walk through the disgusting perfume store.

"I will kill you if you do anything to me," I snarl.

"Mm no you won't," he says before whispering, "You love me to much." That's that. I use my metal foot and bring it down on his with full force, hearing him grunt in pain but he doesn't release me. "60 points to Astrid Hofferson," he said, pain glazing his words. But then he does something that made me want to actually kill him...for real. He turned my body and a moment later, I felt his lips press against mine. I grunt in disgust as he massages my lips with his. After a moment, he pulls away and I turn my head to gag. Something comes up but I swallow it back, making the stomach acid sting my throat.

"And the scores all tied up," I groan, making him laugh.

"Wait tied?" he asks.

"The first time you did that, you got 100. I got 110 when I kicked you in the you-know-where. I just got 60, you got 70 since you at least had the decency to leave me room to pull away if I tried hard enough," I tell him.

"Why didn't you try?" he asks, his voice sly and teasing.

"I did. I'm just low on energy. But if you want to suffer more..." I trail off slightly before kicking him in the shin with my prosthetic.

"Ow! Would you stop that?!" he exclaims before he leads me in a different direction.














A/N: I'm sorry for the short chapter! I promise the next one will be longer but I'm at a loss because I need to daydream what exactly needs to happen next. I know what's going to happen I just don't know how to get there so expect the next chapter in a few days. M.P. thanks you for your patience understanding.
