"Daddy can I help?" Asks a 5 year old me.
"No, now go to Gobber." Demands my father as his grip around the axe gets tighter.
"But." I pout.
"I SAID NO! You aren't tough, why do you think your name is Hiccup, you will grow up as a runt. A weak, weak runt." After my father said those words, I drop my tiny axe to the wooden floor beneath me as my green eyes weld up with tears. Father looks down at me with guilt. "I'm so--" I ran of crying to Gobber asking for his comfort. Gobber wraps his arms around me, hugging me. I could hear my dad mumble something as he walks away. My father hates me, he never cared after my mom's disapperance. He would blame me for her death and he is the one who started Hiccup the Useless. Everyday I would walk to Gobber and walk back, but only being bullied and abused by my cousin Snotlout. I walk to the forge, lowering my head as I notice the gang eyeing my every move. I could sence Snotlout heading towards me.
"Well look, Hiccup the Useless. I could use you as Shark Bait." I try to ignore the words that poured out of the 5 year old Snotlout's mouth. "Hey I'm talking to you!" He shoves me to the ground and sends his foot into my stomach before he decides to stomp away. I pull myself up and run to Gobber. Can't people just give me a break once in a while?! I'm only 5 and I am being abused. If you were here would you help me up or push me back down when I tried to get up myself? I finally set my feet in the forge and I lead myself to the stool. I wish people accept me. Gobber is my only friend, and he scares kids my age. I just calmy sit on the stool.
