Breaking Free

An excerpt from my lastest facfiction story Breaking Free</u>!

"........
“I'm....sorry...dad...” Hiccup mouthed.

Stoic felt a sheen of tears form, as he saw Hiccup lower his head. It was obvious that he could not hold back the tears. A sudden urge to scoop Hiccup into his arms, brought him to his feet. Excusing himself from the conversation, he turned only to find that Hiccup was gone.

“Oh...son...” Stoic pined to himself.

Looking down the great hall, he spotted Hiccup. He watched as Hiccup made his way towards the large doors at the entrance.

“...Why did...I do...that...? He doesn't need to have everyone see his wimp of a son having an emotional break down... “ Hiccup thought aloud, as he wobbled onward.

A sudden voice followed by booming footsteps made Hiccup's heart beat even faster.

“HICCUP!!” Stoic yelled.

“Oh...great...now he's..mad at me!” Hiccup thought aloud.

Hiccup flinched as his leg screamed in protest as he moved towards the doors. Grabbing his leg he willed himself to move even faster.

“Hiccup STOP!” Stoic yelled, scant of breath.

It seemed the closer he got to Hiccup, the faster Hiccup moved. It pang'd Stoic to see Hiccup push away from him so adamantly.

More tears made their way down his cheek as Hiccup reached forward and pulled the doors open, and slipped through. Looking to the walls of the stair case he hobbled over and placed his hand on it, and began his decent. With every step, the weight that had begun to push on his chest grew heavier. It was near the fourth step that he heard his father burst through the doorway.

“Hiccup!” Stoic bellowed.

Hiccup hobbled faster as he heard his father's footsteps begin descending down the stairs.

“Son...please..”

Nearing Hiccup Stoic reached out, clasping a hand on Hiccup's shoulder.

“..Nuh...NO!” Hiccup whimpered, struggling from under his father's grasp.

Stoic brought his other hand around and sat down, pulling Hiccup down on the step next to him. He tightened his hold as Hiccup continued to struggle to free himself.

“Hiccup...just...stop..” Stoic said.
“...it's...ok..son..”

Stoic gasped as he felt Hiccup cease to struggle. Looking to his son he saw Hiccup pull his lips in. Hiccup's face began to contort as the sadness engulfed him.

With all his might, Hiccup fought to rein in the tears. He sighed as his quivering chin gave way to a blatant sob. His shoulder's shook as he buried his head in his hands. Hiccup gasped for air as he cried ardently.

“Son...what it it!?” Stoic asked, his voice breaking.

Hiccup moaned in response.
“...Tuh...Tuh...Tooth...” was all Hiccup could manage......"
