How To Mend A Broken Heart 2

Chapter 3

Once Hiccup was outside he sighed, scanning the area, wondering where you could possibly be. He racked his brain, thinking of all the places of where you could be.

The first place that popped into his mind was the forge; and that is where his feet led him. As he and Midnight made their way towards the forge, he received 'Good mornings' and 'Morning Chief' to which he nodded respectfully, and greeting them in return.

Once he got to the forge, he saw Gobber leaning out the window.

"Morning Hiccup!" Gobber greeted, "How have you been?"

"Pretty good. Say, have you seen [Name] or Toothless anywhere?" Hiccup asked, rasing a brow.

"Nope, haven't seen them," Gobber replied, shaking his head as he avoided Hiccup's gaze.

"You sure?" Hiccup questioned.

"Mmhmm, I gotta go now. I need to clean...Grump's teeth," Gobber chuckled nervously, as he ran into the back of the forge.

Hiccup rose his eyebrow in confusion, as he shook his head sighing, "Alright, girl. Let's check the academy."

As Hiccup and Midnight made their way inside the academy, an axe came spiraling towards Hiccup, causing him to duck just in time, as the axe embeaded itself against the wall above his head.

"Oh my Thor! Hiccup, are you okay?! I'm so sorry!" Astrid apologized, as she ran forward as Snotlout laughed.

"Dude, you almost cut his head off!" Snotlout exclaimed.

"I believe the term you're meaning is decapitated," Tuffnut corrected, as Snotlout rolled his eyes.

"Astrid, I'm okay. No worries it was an accident," Hiccup  assured, "Anyway, have any of you guys seen [Name]? I can't find her."

"Nope! She probably got tired of you and ran away," Snotlout smiled, walking forward as Astrid smacked his head, "Oww!"

"No, we haven't see her," Astrid replied, as she shook her head.

"Hey, where's Toothless? Isn't he always with you?" Ruffnut asked, crossing her arms.

"Yes, he is. He's also missing too," Hiccup informed.

"Uh-oh, those two must be causing trouble," Astrid smirked.

"I think so too," Hiccup sighed, "Anyway, if you guys see them, tell me alright?"

"Okay, okay. Go find them," Astrid smiled, pushing him out of the academy.

"I'm telling you she ran away!" Snotlout shouted, as Astrid took her axe out of the wall.

As Hiccup walked out of the academy, he could still hear Snotlout yelling.

"Astrid, why are you giving me the death glare? Why are you aiming at me with your axe?!"

As Hiccup walked further away from the academy, he could hear the twins chanting 'decapitate' until he was too far away to hear anything else. Hiccup shook his head, as he made his way down towards the docks with Midnight by his side.

As they arrived down at the docks, Hiccup spotted Eret and a few villagers hauling nets full of fish onto the docks. Eret looked up, seeing Hiccup.

Eret stood straighter, greeting Hiccup with a smile, "Morning, Hiccup. What can I do for you?"

"Morning, uh. Have you seen [Name] or Toothless anywhere? I can't find them," Hiccup scratched the back of his neck.

Eret sighed, "[Name] took Toothless out on a early morning flight."

"Do you might possibly know where they both went?" Hiccup questioned.

"No, sorry. All she said was 'wherever the wind takes us'," Eret chuckled lightly, "But, I can point where they took off. They went that way," Eret pointed straight ahead.

"Hmm, well thank you for telling me. Alright girl, let's go find your rider," Hiccup smiled, as he jumped onto Midnight, taking off towards the sky where Eret had pointed off to.

Eret watched Hiccup leave as he quickly turned around, facing the other villagers.

"Alright, lets get moving! We need to get this to the Great Hall by evening!" Eret shouted, making all the villagers nod.
