Waking up, I see a familiar midnight blue wing wrapped around me. I snuggle a bit closer to the warm, scaled body against me, feeling my cheeks warm up. I soon fall back asleep.

"I'm scared," I say.

It's okay, babe. They can't get us as long as we stay quiet. Shawn growls. I snuggle close to the warmth of the scales I'm against.

"They killed him," I say.

Huh? Shawn growls

"My dad. They killed my dad. He didn't do anything wrong," I say, starting to cry.

There, there. Those people are messed up, unlike your dad. Shawn growls. Shawn starts to lick my hair, a thing he's been doing recently. And for some reason, it calms me down every time. Love you. Shawn growls.

"Love you too, Shawn," I say, smiling through a blush.

"We found them!" We hear.

Carla. Shawn growls.

"Yea- Shawn?" I say, looking around for the midnight blue Night Fury.

Carla. Shawn growls.

"Shawn? Where are you?" I look around the little lake area where we stayed for the night.

It's okay. I'm right here. Shawn growls, wrapping a wing around me. I jump a little, but then calmed as he starts messing with my hair, again. I lay back against the warm body, letting myself relax.

Waking up, my face is almost pressed up against amidnight blue scale. I jerk my head back a bit, but then let it return to its previous spot close to the warm scales.

Carla? I hear a tired growl.

"I'm still here," I say. After a moment, the wing unfurls itself from around me, letting in the natural warmth of the sunlight. Yawning, I stretch my limbs open, slowly getting up.

Morning. Shawn growls, giving me a dragon's kiss.

"Morning, Shawn," I say, kissing his head while secretly stretching my hand to a certain spot on his head, right below the lower jawbone. After a second of scratching, Shawn falls to the ground, letting out a purr. I step outside to the sunlight, letting my eyes adjust to see the surrounding area.

Shawn's POV

Seeing Carla in the beautiful colors of the sunrise, I can't help but let a small smile poke it's way. This moment, I- I can't describe it. It's so perfect. I walk up beside Carla.

"Oh, hey, again," Carla says, wrapping an arm around my neck.

What now? I growl.

"I dunno," Carla says with a sigh.

Maybe we can head up to Ohio and stay with my aunt and uncle for a little while, at least until this entire thing calms down a bit? I growl.

"Maybe that would work," Carla says. After a while, I smell something. Guns. 

We need to go, now. I growl.

"What? Why?" Carla says.

They're near. I smell them. I growl.

"Okay, let me get the saddle first," Carla says. Strapping the saddle on, "Ohio?" Carla says.

What? Oh, yeah. I growl.

"Let's go," Carla says. Weaving through trees, we make it out of the woods without notice. Getting ready to fly, Carla stops me.

Why'd you do that? I growl.

"Remember? Anything that's flying, shoot it down. We can't fly," Carla says.

Like they're going to hit a Night Fury. I growl.

"If I get hurt, it's your fault," Carla says.

I hear ya. Hang on! I growl. Up in the air, I'm actually kinda surprised nobody has noticed me. After a while of flying, about a few hours, I see we're in Ohio, already.

"Already?" Carla says.

Yeah. We're already in Ohio. I growl. After an hour, I see my aunt and uncles house. Landing in the backyard, Carla hops off first.

"Hey! What are you two doing here?" Peter says.

"It okay if we stay here for a little bit?" Carla asks.

"Uh, yeah. Sure. But, why?" Cole asks.

"Our home for destroyed. Leveled. All of Lakesshore. Gone," Carla says.

"Is Shawn okay?" Jordan asks.

"Yeah, he's fine," Carla says.

"Good. Say, you know where Shawn is?" Jordan asks.

"Oh, uh," Carla says.

Right here. I growl.

"He's- he's right here," Carla says, sighing.

"Where?" Cole says.

"Show them, babe," Carla says.

"You see now?" I say, covering myself with my wings.

"So, Carla is dating the dragon?" Peter says.

"I'll be inside," I say.

"How come he didn't tell us earlier?" I hear Jordan say.

"I don't know. That's something you'll have to ask him," Carla says.

"Ask me what?" I say.

"How come you didn't let us know?" Jordan asks.

"Well, I don't know why, but, I thought it'd be safer if you didn't know," I say.

Shawn! I hear a roar.

"Oh, for the love of- What are you doing? Don't tell me. Something happened," I say.

It's Stormfly. Siare growls.

"Whose this?" Jordan asks.

"Jordan, this is Siare," I say.

Hello. Siare growls, slightly nodding.

"They don't know what you're saying, Siare. What's wrong with her?" I say.

She- she's dying. Siare growls.

"Oh. Come on, Carla. I start to say, my voice turning to a growl.

"Where you going?" Cole says.

"Somewhere," Carla says.

"Where?" Jordan says.

"Nowhere important," Carla says again.

"If it's not important, than why are you in a rush?" Jordan says.

"Someone is dying. That's all I'm going to say," Carla says. After a long fight, we land on Berk.

Follow me. Siare growls. Reaching the hangar, we're greeted by the Riders of Berk first.

Shawn. Glad you, could make it. Thank you, for being here. Stormfly growls.

I may not have known you for long, Berk, for that matter. Yet, I've grown attached to it, and everyone in it, Viking and dragon. I growl.

Thank you, for coming. Stormfly growls.

Even though I only know just the dragons on Berk, you're the most hard-headed dragon I've ever met. I growl.

I, thought that was Hookfang. Stormfly growls.

No, he's just plain out annoying. I growl. Stormfly gives a small laugh.

You were always special. Stormfly growls. Tell Astrid, and all the others, that I say, goodbye. Stormfly growls.

No. I growl.

What? Stormfly growls.

You can stay just a while longer. I growl.

What? How? Stormfly growls.

I'll need a tail spine. I growl.

Uh, sure thing. Stormfly growls, throwing a spine near her feet.

Thank you. I growl, picking it up between my teeth. I'll be back. I growl, taking off towards the large patch of dragon nip. I grab the spine with my tail and grab the nip in between my teeth, the sweetness of the grass almost overwhelming me. Heading to Hiccup's house, I lay down the few things I've grabbed. Toothless! I roar.

Yeah? Toothless flies in through his window.

I need a large one of these from Dragon Island. I growl, showing him a small, chalk red stone dotted with green, almost obsidian like chunks.

On it! Toothless growls. I dash off to the Cove. Reluctantly grabbing the one thing every dragon hates, eel. I fly to Hiccup's house as quickly as I can, dropping the eel.

I think that's it. I growl.
