Chapter 3: Away
* Toothless POV *
We had been flying all night and I felt that my rider was getting tired. So I slapped him in the face. With my ear.
'Ugghh, Toothless what's wrong?'
I motioned to the ground of an isle we were passing.
'O, you're tired? Come on' he said while flicking my prosthetic tail.
Actually I wasn't tired at all, but he sure would fall of my back if we didn't land in time.
We landed in a clearing in the middle of the woods, it was almost sunrise so the sky was beginning to lighten up. The moment we landed Hiccup laid down on a small bundle of grass and began to fall asleep.
I knew he was tired. Wrapping my wings around him I stood watch.
When the sun began to set he woke up.
'Couldn't you wake me up earlier?' he yawned. 'We really should eat something.'
I totally agreed with him and walked into the forest to find a stream. After a while we found one, deep enough for fish to swim in.
'Looks like it's going to be fish for a while, bud... ' he said a little disappointed.
I didn't care. I like fish. But he really didn't. I wonder of that's because of me... I made him eat a half fish that I puked out once. Maybe that wasn't really a good idea. But that's his problem. Not mine.
~~ Six months later ~~
* Hiccups POV *
'Bud! I'm going out for a hunt. I'll be back before the sun sets, alright?' I say to Toothless. 'And don't follow me like the last time, you'll scare all the animals away.'
I grabbed my bow and quiver with selfmade arrows from the weapon shelf in our makeshift house.
'I mean it Toothless' I say seriously before shutting the door behind me.
Looking over my shoulder when walking away, it still amazed me what the two of us had encomplised with our camouflage skills. From a distance you just couldn't see it was a house, a pretty big one to. The house was built between two huge tree who were fallen into each other and with all of there branches covered up the roof. The walls were covered in mud and moss so it really didn't look like a house anymore.
Ever since we landed on the isle when we ran away, we made it our home, sort of at least. We weren't always on our isle, that I called "Away". I thought it really suited our situation and the isle was nothing like home.
First of all it wasn't so cold as Berk: it doesn't snow nine month's of the year and it also doesn't hails the other three. And the food that grows here isn't though and tasteless but more like soft and delicious. And the people... well I haven't seen any other humans besides me on Away.
But back to the hunting, because of Toothless who made me eat raw fish puked out by himself. I really lost my appetite for fish. So after a few weeks of eating raw fish and wild berries. (I didn't want to take food with me because my father had it hard enough with the winter coming and a hole village to feed) I decided to try my best and make a bow and some arrows. And surprisingly it worked. I began to practice and eventually I got the hang of it, I shot a squirrel and two bunnies after sitting as still as possible for a really long time.
*KRACK*
'Toothless what did I say? You can't follow me. You scare the animals away with all the noise you make! And than I have to eat fish for dinner. I'll be fine, really.' I said to Toothless who had followed me, again...
Toothless just doesn't like the idea of me being alone. I think he is scared something will happen to me. But I can take care of myself now. Since we ran away I grew a little bit more muscle an began training with weapons.
You know the standard Viking weapons: hammer (still hard to lift), sword, axe, spear. I found those weapons on the mapping trips me and Toothless often make.
I also made myself a new outfit. A leather kind of shirt that sat over my green long sleeved shirt, (So I was more protected against the cold and injuries during training.) bigger and wider shoulderpads (A/N basically Hiccups wears in dawn of the dragon racers) Also I found a nice helmet on one of our trips that matched my outfit (his helmet from HTTYD 2 but without the spikes)
Toothless was still staring at me with his big puppy eyes.
'Bud you can stay here, really. I've got my sword and my bow and arrows. I'll be fine. Go play with the other dragons at the house and after dinner we go flying. Believe me I'll be back in a flash. (A/N someone gets the reference?? XD)
I think I convinced him after the words: "go play with the other dragons" and "go on a flight". And finally he turned around and pounded back to the house.
Alright, finally hunting time.
Hey people!
So here's the update I promised!!
