Chapter Twenty "Reveal"
"Shawn! Carla! You two are okay! We thought they got you," Dad says.
Yeah, Dad. We're okay. We were in Ohio for the night. I growl.
"What? Oh, yeah! I just remembered about the message from Cole saying that you were up there," Dad says.
"Carla! Don't you think that this is becoming rather dangerous, you being with Shawn-" Dean starts.
"Dad! It's fine! I don't think Shawn would let me get hurt," Carla says.
"Now, you didn't let me finish. I was going to say, whatever makes you happy, than I'm all for it," Dean says, slightly smiling.
"Thank you, Dad," Carla says. There's a slight moment of awkward silence until I hear a light thud outside.
Tooth- err, what are you doing here? I growl, stepping outside.
Stormfly wanted me to come and thank you two for helping her. Toothless growls.
Oh. Tell her we said no problem. I growl.
When will you be coming back again? Gracia and Nightshade kinda miss you. Toothless growls.
Oh? Well, tell them that when things settle down here, we'll visit again. But, for now, we're being hunted. I growl.
By who? Toothless growls.
By, people. You wouldn't understand. I growl.
Okay. I'll tell them. Toothless growls.
Goodbye. I hope to see you guys soon. I growl.
Same from our side. Goodbye. Toothless growls.
"Who was that?" Dad says.
Oh, a friend. I growl.
"Ah. Well, come on inside," Dad says. Walking inside, I feel like someone is in the woods. I look back in time to see the glint of an ACOG scope.
Look out! I roar, pulling my dad out of the way. The next second, there's a 30-06 round shot from the woods.
"Nobody move! I have you where I want you now, Shawn," Lukas says, emerging from the woods.
How did you find me! I roar.
"Why are you here?" My dad says.
"Why do you care? All you should know is that my good friend wants your son's hide," Lukas says.
Good friend? I growl.
"Who are you taking about?" Carla says, picking up her shield.
"Oh, I believe you three have met before," Lukas says.
You don't think he means Dagur? I growl.
"I bet," Carla says, throwing her shield at Lukas.
"Woah! Hehe, you missed," Lukas says.
Good going, Carla. I growl. After he raises his rifle, we hear a click.
"What? No!" Lukas says, charging for Carla. I go to lunge for Lukas, but I'm, yet again, entangled in a bola.
Carla! I roar as Lukas hits Carla with the stock of his M1.
"Carla!" Dean says. Carla jumps from behind the couch, throwing Lukas to the ground, causing his M1 to slide into the kitchen.
"Oh, the girl's got strength," Lukas says.
"That's not all I've got," Carla says. I notice her eyes are slits. Wait, she's not going to- is she? Well, can she control it? All those questions I have are answered as she lifts up her hand from beside Lukas's face and a black paw falls onto his chest.
"Another?" Lukas says.
Now, run, or I'll make you run! Carla roars. I look to the woods and see the glare of a helmet. I snap free of the bola I'm in.
Carla! I roar, tackling her off Lukas. What is up with me and bolas?
"I got him!" We hear a deranged laugh from the woods.
"Oh, Shawn. You-" Dagur says, stopping when he sees Carla getting up from the floor.
"Oh, I see you also brought me my prized Night Fury. But, where's his rider?" Dagur says.
His? Carla growls.
"Uh, Dagur. I don't think that's Toothless," Lukas says.
"Is there any other Night Furies that you know?" Dagur says before getting tackled by Carla.
"Ugh! Wait, you're not Toothless. But you're still a Night Fury. I believe you'll do in place for him!" Dagur says, pulling out a pistol Lukas supposedly gave him.
What! How? Never mind. I growl, charging a plasma blast. Firing at the pistol, careful not to hurt Carla, I blast the pistol out of Dagur's hand. I feel the bola loosen a bit. Looking back, I see my dad has gotten a hold of my dagger and is cutting the bola loose. Thank you. I growl.
"Don't mention it," Dad says.
"It's going to take more that two Night Furies to keep me," Dagur says. Carla keeps Dagur pinned while I go for Lukas.
Leave! Now! I roar in Lukas's face.
You too, Dagur! Carla roars.
"I think they want us to leave," Lukas says. I'm starting to think Lukas had been spending too much time with Dagur.
"Well, we aren't leaving until we get what we want," Dagur says.
Should we give it to them? I growl.
I'd be delighted. Carla growls. Me and Carla get a plasma blast charged.
"You think you two scare us?" Dagur says. I give Carla a look saying 'now?' And she gives a nod. Jumping up on my rear legs, I land down, having my front paws less than half an inch from Lukas's face.
Leave! I roar.
"I'm outta here!" Dagur says, scrambling to the woods.
"Forget it. I will be back!" Lukas says, slipping from a stray 9mm casing left lying around.
"Carla?" Dean says.
Yeah, it's me. Carla growls.
"What did he-" Dean starts.
It wasn't his fault. It was my own doing. Carla growls.
"What?" Dean takes a step back.
Yeah. Carla growls.
So you already learned how to control it? I growl.
Only when my adrenaline is high enough. Carla growls.
Oh. I growl.
Yeah. Carla growls. Well, least I'll have a challenge if we ever decide to go flying.
I'm going to head out. I growl.
"Where?" Mom asks.
To the isle. The kids miss me. I growl.
"Kids?" Mom asks.
Two Baby Night Furies. I growl.
"Oh," Mom says.
"Wait, baby, Night Furies?" Dad says.
Not mine, we're not the only two Night Furies. I growl.
"And what do you mean by, isle?" Dad asks.
Should I tell him? I growl to Carla.
If you think he should know. Carla growls.
"What are you two talking about?" Dean says.
Berk. I growl.
"Berk?" Dad says.
It's real. Berk, Hiccup, Toothless. All of it, real. But the movies are not real. I growl.
"Huh? Explain?" Dad presses me to continue.
How To Train Your Dragon Two hasn't happened yet, except for Valka and Cloudjumper. And there's a little added detail, Toothless found a mate, I believe you've met Siare before. Anyway, they had two kids, one male, Nightshade. And the other a female,Gracia. I growl.
"And you were headed back because the two kids miss you?" Dean says.
Yeah. I growl.
I'm going with him. Carla growls.
And sorry, but I'm not going to take you with me. I growl.
"It's fine," Dad says.
"Toothless had kids?" I hear a familiar voice behind me.
Oh! Hey, Snotlout. I growl.
"Been a while since we've talked," Allan says.
Yeah. Well, you're a bit late. Me and Carla were about to fly to Berk. I growl.
"Where is she?" Allan says.
Right there. The black Night Fury. I growl.
"She's one too?" Allan says.
Yeah. Well, we'll be back! I growl.
