Twenty-Eight

"Hiccup!" A course of voices scream.

Astrid runs over. The scales were falling off me. I rip the dagger out. I drop it. I look at my hand. I take off the gloves. I look and see them pealing. My skin was withering off of my hand. The scales were falling down like flower petals.

Blood falls onto the ground. I rest my tail down. I touch my face. Skin is peeling off like dust on a mountain. The wind blows. Astrid examines me. She kisses me fast. Then she punches me.

"Why did you do that?!" She yells.

"Astrid..." I notice her tears.

I wipe the tears off with my hand.

"Stay with me! Please don't leave me!" She yells.

"Who... says... I'll...leave...you?" I ask.

"I have so much I want to say to you." She cries.

"Save...it...for...later." I smile.

I turn. Everyone is in tears. Dagur, Heather, Dad, Fishlegs, Snotlout and the twins. I lift up Astrid's head. She grabs me. She holds me. I grip her. She clutched me tightly.

"I'm...sorry..." I can only whisper now.

She kisses me on the cheek. I watch as my clothes peel and blows in the wind like dust. I hold up a hand and see it fully peak. Fully turn to dust as it blows in the wind. I grip her with my other hand.

"Hey...Astrid..." I whisper.

"What?" She sniffs.

"Even...in...death...I... will... love...you." I whisper.

I close my eyes as my entire body turns to dust. It blows in the wind. There are a series of cries and tears.

Astrid didn't scream. She swallows her tears. She stands up. She walks to her fallen axe. She picks it up. She points it at Krogan.

"For Hiccup." She says.

"For Hiccup." Fishlegs says walking forward.

"For Hiccup!!" Everyone yells.

"For Hiccup." Astrid repeats.

For me.

The End
