Astrid's P.O.V.

It's been a couple days since Hiccup snapped at Fishlegs and then left, I haven't tried to push him since.

It was night. I fly by the forest on Stormfly.

Hiccup's driving me crazy. His mood is actually. I can't get near him without him changing.

His eyes were still blue. But that's not really important.

I see something shining in my face down in the trees.

"What is that?" I ask myself.

"Stormfly down."

She flew down landing in the trees. I slide off of her looking around.

"Hello?"

No response.

"Hello?"

Just then I hear something in the bush. I take out my axe aiming it at the bush.

I nearly throw it when something black came out of the trees.

... Toothless?

Where's Hiccup?

I spoke to soon.

Hiccup came out back first, dragging something.

"What is that?" I ask him scaring him.

He jumped turning around. He put his hands behind his back.

"Astrid. Hey! Hi Astrid. Hi Astrid. Hi Astrid." He greets me nervously.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"What? nothing..." he trailed off with a nervous look in his blue gaze.

Toothless snorted then started licking his hands.

"Toothless, stop!" he hissed backing up tripping over the thing he was pulling.

I go over to him pulling him up by his vest.

"Why are you covered in blood?" I ask him.

"Blood?"

"Is it yours?" I ask.

"Mine?"

"Start taking and quit mumbling." I hiss. He backs up revealing a body. A person I've never seen before. Was it a Viking?

"Hiccup? Where'd that come from?" I ask him.

"Where'd what come from?"

"The dead body you just tripped over."

"Dead body? I tripped on?"

"You killed him didn't you?" I ask him.

"What? I have never seen him before, ever in my life!"

"Why'd you kill him?"

He sighed.

"I was working on something in the trees and I thought he was coming after me, so I stabbed him like 30 times!"

"Hiccup?"

"What?"

"That kills people!"

"Well I know that now!"

I narrow my eyes pushing him against a trees the my axe to his neck.

"What's going on with you?" I hiss.

"You're acting like an idiot."

"Astrid, I don't know what's wrong with me, I swear.... I-if I knew I would tell you!"

He looked scared now.

I sigh releasing him.

"I'm just worried!" I tell him.

"Why?"

"You're not yourself."

"Why?"

"First, you're eye colour changed to blue. Then you were able to tell if a fish was rotten or not. You ate a raw fish! You were able to here Tuffnut whisper and you're bad at hearing. And today you think everyone's going to hurt you." I explain.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"I don't know."

"You need to figure it out. 'Cause you're scaring everyone. Even me,"

"Astrid, I'm sorry, I don't know what it is. I swear." He tells me.

I sigh.

"Well you need to find this out. We have no way of helping you if we don't know." I says getting on Stormfly.

He stood there.

"I'm sorry, Astrid..." he whispers his eyes turning into slits again.

"So am I."

I have no way of helping him.

"I'll see too later, Hiccup." I say then fly away on Stormfly.

I start to fly towards home.

Whatever it is that's effecting him, I hope it's not dangerous.

Hiccup's P.O.V.

I kick the leaves madly as I walk.

"I'm so stupid!" I yell to myself.

Toothless follows behind me.

"She thinks I'm an idiot!"

U suddenly stop waking looking around.

"And now I'm lost!!!!"

I sit down by a tree.

Toothless sits down in front of me.

"I figured by now you'd figured it out." I hear someone say.

I jolt up grabbing my dagger.

"Who's there?!"

"Isn't it obvious?" it asked.

"No? Who is it!"

"Look down."

I look to at Toothless.

"What do you want with my dragon?" I ask.

"I am your dragon!"

I back up in shock hitting the tree behind me. I look at Toothless in confusion.

"Did you just.... You just spoke!" I say to him in shock.

He nodded.

"Yeah, I did. And I just did again." He says.

I rub my eyes to make sure I'm not dreaming.

"Wait,"

"You're talking... You're a dragon you're not supposed to talk."

Toothless looked at me.

"It's dragon talk. Dragonese.. Only dragons can understand it." Toothless exclaims.

"But I'm not a dragon. I'm a human." I say.

Toothless stares me down.

"You don't think that after all this time, something's not different." he asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Everything about you is different. You're eye colour is changing. You're having a bad craving for raw fish. You're sensing things that humans don't. You're protective instinct made you kill that man."

".... So....." I ask.

He looks at me with a calm look in his eyes.

I don't know how he is so calm about this. I'm clearly not.

"Hiccup, don't you see?" he asked.

I shake my hand.

"No?"

He gives me a small, toothless smile.

"You're half dragon.... Half Night Fury."
