Toothless. I growl.

Yeah? Toothless growls.

Have you seen that other black Night Fury? I growl.

Oh, yeah. She's over at the shore. Toothless growls.

Thanks. I growl.

Yeah, but why- Toothless growls, but I cut him off, flying away. Flying to the shoreline, I see a black figure.

Hey. I growl, softly landing on the sand.

Oh! Hey, babe. You scared me. Carla growls.

Sorry. I growl, hugging Carla with my wing.

It's okay. Carla growls.

Are you going to stay like this? I growl.

Until we get home. Carla growls.

Oh. So, should we let the others know? I growl.

Let the others k-know what? A small growl comes from the bushes behind me.

What! Oh, Nightshade! I growl.

Wait, did I s-scare you? Yeah! Nightshade growls, jumping with excitement.

Yeah, you got me, like you said. I growl.

So, let the others k-know what? Nightshade growls.

You remember Carla, right? I growl.

Your g-girlfriend? Nightshade growls.

Yeah. I growl.

What about h-her? Nightshade growls.

Well. How can I put this. I growl.

It's me, Nightshade. Carla growls.

Carla? Nightshade growls.

Yeah. I'm like you, now. Carla growls.

Ooh, you're kinda p-pretty. A lot like my dad. Nightshade growls.

Thank you. Carla growls.

Nightshade! Siare roars from the distance.

Oh. Well, I've g-got to go. G-goodbye! Nightshade growls.

He's still so cute. Carla growls.

Yeah. I growl.

So how long are we staying again? Carla growls.

Whenever you're ready to leave. I growl.

Oh. I'm going to go see how Stormfly is doing. Carla growls.

Okay. Meet me back here. I growl.

Okay. Carla growls, flying off. Man, how much must my life change before everything settles down completely.

Carla's POV

Slowly flying away, I look back to see that cute, midnight blue figure laying on the beach. Flying to the hangar, I see if Stormfly is there.

Helloo. And your name would be? An annoyingly familiar growl comes from my right.

What's it matter to you? I growl.

Oh, just wondering. I mean, doesn't hurt to know a beautiful name, now does it? Hookfang growls. He takes after his rider a bit too much.

Why do you care? You're a Nightmare. I'm a Night Fury. I growl.

So? Hookfang growls.

Never mind my name. Have you seen Stormfly? I growl.

Yeah. She's with her rider, why? Hookfang growls.

Just want to say hi. I growl.

How do you know her? Hookfang growls.

I helped save her. My name's Carla, by the way. I growl, seeing a look of shock and a slight bit of self-disgust. He does take after his rider, almost like a brother. Kinda worries me a bit.

"You heard them, girl. You can't fly until six more days," I hear.

Stormfly! Astrid! I roar.

Carla? That you? Stormfly roars.

Hey, Stormfly. I growl.

Hey. Stormfly growls.

"Whose this?" Astrid says.

What are you doing here? You kinda interrupted my training. Stormfly growls.

Oh. I'm sorry. I growl.

It's okay, we were taking a break anyway. Stormfly growls.

Oh. I growl.

Yeah. Shawn with Toothless and them? Stormfly growls.

Yeah. The two kids are starting to like him. I growl.

Oh? Stormfly growls.

Yeah. I growl.

"Come on, girl. Let's start heading back," Astrid says.

Mind if I come along? I growl.

Sure! Stormfly growls. So, anyone else know about this? Stormfly growls after a while.

Huh? Oh, no. I don't think so. Well, Nightshade does. That's all who else I think knows. I growl.

Oh. They're so cute. Stormfly growls.

Who? I growl.

The Night Fury family. Stormfly growls.

Oh. Actually, I've got to go. I growl.

Oh. Okay. Goodbye. Stormfly growls.

Tell the others I said goodbye! I growl, running towards the shore. Reaching the beach, Shawn's nowhere to be seen. Shawn! I roar. I walk over to a cave. Shawn? I growl. Wait, there wasn't a cave before.

Carla! Shawn growls, coming in from on the cliff above.

Hey, Shawn. I growl.

Hey. Wrong beach. Shawn growls.

I know, I know. I growl.

You ready to head out? Shawn growls.

Yeah, guess so. I growl.

Alright, let's go. Shawn growls, flying off

Shawn's POV

Have a nice talk? I growl.

Huh? Oh, sure. Carla growls, clearly distracted.

Everything okay, Carla? I growl.

What? Oh, sorry. I'm just thinking about when Lukas might attack next. Carla growls.

Look out! I roar, tackling Carla as a purple dragon flies by, but careful as not to knock her out of the air.

What in the world? I growl.

Lukas. Carla growls.

He's not heading towards Berk? I growl.

Let's follow him, anyway. Carla growls, flying towards where Lukas flew off to.

Oh for the love of- Wait up! I roar, trying to catch up to Carla.

What are you- I'm cut off as Carla motions me to get low. What's going on? I silently growl.

I dunno. Carla growls. Using a dragon's keen hearing, we can vaguely hear what is being said.

"Listen up! Outcasts! Berzerkers! You listen to me now!" Lukas says.

"Says who?" One Outcast says.

"Where's Dagur?" A female asks.

"Dagur is dead," Lukas says.

"What!" Rumbles through the men and women.

What? I growl.

"We were tracking down the Skrill when he died saving me. He wanted me to have the Skrill," Lukas says.

He's lying. I growl.

What? Carla growls.

Dagur wouldn't die for him. And he sure wouldn't give up the Skrill. I growl.

"Where is the Skrill?" A Berserker says.

"Right here," Lukas says, opening a large door. A purple Skrill is chained up behind the door. The same Skrill me and Dagur caught when I was trying to get it's scale.

It's him. I growl.

You know a Skrill? Carla growls.

No. But when me and Dagur caught that same Skrill, a Flightmare came and saved it. I heard what all the two mates said. I growl.

Mates? Carla growls, shocked.

Yeah. I growl. After that little meeting or whatever, we follow Lukas to a building, Dagur's house.

Should we get him? Carla growls.

No. He's saying something. I growl.

"Ha! That fool Dagur. He thought I would just help him? Help him get a Skrill? Poor lad. I wonder if he's still on Dragon Island? He's probably bled out by now," I hear Lukas say.

You hear that? I growl.

No. What? Carla growls.

Dagur didn't die for Lukas. He killed Dagur. I growl.

What! Carla growls.

Yeah. I growl.

What should we do now? Carla growls.

Ask him about everything. I growl.

How are you going to do that? He can't understand you. Carla growls.

He can understand Shawn. I growl. Hiding, I change and get a shirt and pants from my saddlebag. I'm kinda glad that I pack a few pairs of clothes in them. Blasting the door, I walk in, growling.

"Woah! What do you want?" Lukas says.

"We want to know what happened to Dagur," I say.

"Why do you care?" Lukas says.

"Because," I say.

"You want to know? Fine," Lukas says.
