Stranded
I wake up to howling. What time is it? Whats happening? I jump up from under Stormflys wing only to be pelted by rain. Then I realize. Toothless is here. Hiccup is not.
I search frantically all over the sea stack, but I don't see Hiccup.
I hear my name and whip around. I see Hiccup limping up the hill, soaked. He looked like he's been up for hours. Despite the rain flying into my eyes and shivering, I run up to him and wrap my arms around him, my eyes tearing up.
"Whoa, what's wrong?" Hiccup questions as he sees my tears. He kisses my head, the feeling tingling down to my toes.
"I couldn't find you, you left and---" Hiccup stops me.
"I took my leg off to go to sleep, like I usually do. It kinda got struck by lightning and doesn't work. And you know I can't fly Toothless without my leg. I was so stupid I forgot to bring my spare!" he hopped back and forth, but suddenly slipped in the mud. His left arm reached out to catch him, but instead it broke. The snap echoed, even Toothless jumped.
I rush over to help him up, gently pick up his arm and feel it. Hiccup winced in pain.
"Whelp, I guess we're stranded until somebody rescues us." he says, after recovering from the pain.
I sigh. I needed something to make a sling, but I didn't know if we had anything with us that would work. Or did I? I carefully reached back, untying the knot made out of a strong strip of fabric that kept my braid in. I unraveled the braid, and brushed through my hair with my fingers.
I walk over to Hiccup and grab my pillow.
"Wow, your hair looks great!" he says.
I smile as I rip the stitches in my pillow, turning it into a big piece of cloth. I tightly bind Hiccups arm using my cloth strip to tie it off.
"I didn't know you had it in you." Hiccup suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"You've always had your hair up for many years. I never though you would let your hair flow." he responded as he repositioned his arm.
I elbowed his right arm and he tickled me back. We finally stopped laughing and leaned against a rock.
