As I walked back home after training, I thought about what had happened during training today. It had been a complete disaster.

"Today is all about survival." Said Gobber as the Gronckle flew towards us and we scattered. "If you get blasted, ya're dead." As the Gronckle smashed into a wall because of the speed it flew towards us. Then it ate several rocks that were on the floor. Uh oh, I thought. Now it was capable of shooting fireballs at us!

"Right, what's the first thing you're going to need?" Asked Gobber. "A doctor?" said Hiccup. "Plus five speed?" added Fishlegs. 

Seriously? those were their answers?  I thought as I shouted "A shield!" 

"A shield! Go!" shouted Gobber. Everybody scrambled to get the shields. The was totally ridiculous. We couldn't do anything! 

I heard the twins arguing about which shield they wanted to have. They were arguing pretty loudly, the last thing you'll want to do when there is an angry Gronckle flying 10 feet away from you. The Gronckle fired a fireball at Ruff and Tuff, blasting the shield away from between them. "Tuffnut, Ruffnut, you're out!" said Gobber. 

"And those shields are good for another thing - noise. Make lots of it to throw off the dragon's aim!". So we immediately started to bang our weapons against our shields. It was working! The Gronckle seem to stagger slightly in the air. 

"And all dragons have a limited number of shots! How many does a Gronckle have?" Asked Gobber in midst of the chaos. "Five?" guessed Snotlout. "No six!" Replied Fishlegs. "Good! Now that's for each of you!" Fishlegs began to say something but was cut off when the Gronckle fired another fireball at Fishlegs, blasting his shield out of his hand. "Fishlegs, you're out!" said Gobber as Fishlegs ran away somewhere screaming in terror.

"Hey Astrid," said Snotlout. "I just moved into my parent's basement. You should come over to work out. You look like you work out." I wasn't listening to him. I was too busy with the Gronckle. And I successfully managed to dodge a fireball that hit the area I had been a second earlier which also happened to be Snotlout's shield. "Snotlout, you're done!" Shouted Gobber. 

"So it looks like it's just you and me, huh?" Hiccup remarked. 

"Nope, just you!" I said, jumping away. The Gronckle fired at Hiccup. I felt slightly guilty about that. 

His shield rolled away, but the Gronckle kept pursuing him. Hiccup was cornered and the Gronckle was about to fire and I squeezed my eyes shut. He's going to die because of me... why could I not have helped him? I heard the shot. Hiccup was alive. Gobber had grabbed the Gronckle and threw him back into its pen. 

"You'll get another chance. And remember, a dragon will always, always go for the kill."

I groaned as I reached my house. Why could I not have helped Hiccup? Gobber and Stoick saved him. Why couldn't I?

A/N: For those of you who think I put to much detail into this one simple part that doesn't last 4 minutes in the actual movie, I'm sorry. This part has really inspired me a lot and I wanted to make it as detailed as possible. I'll get to the Hiccstrid stuff very soon. Also, I got some of the lines directly from the movie and some from other fanfictions. That's about it. Enjoy the book and be sure to leave a comment!
