13. Night
(A/N Omg. I finally finished this chapter. This the very final version and now I could finally update. Bad news: because it ended up totally different than I planed, the already written other three chapter is unusable y.y never mind. I solved my story issues, updates will come more recently)
Hiccup's POV
Oh great. Why there's has to be vikings on this island... and not from anywhere... from Berk? Just simply great. I huffed as I pulled my hood down. I'm so happy I left my cloak at the cave because it was soaking wet, so now I don't freeze to death.
- Why did you left our stuff there?!
- Because a certain someone threw me into the freezing cold water first.
- You have the point. When we are going in?
- It will be only me. Go have some sleep or don't know what.
- One of them always awake, watching out for the others. Even me wouldn't be able to get through without being seen.
- Hm. Always one. However I believe not everyone of them will stay awake.
- Really? They are that irresponsible?
- Few of them.
- Hm. I bet on the annoying one, and the two crazy.
- How did you know I was thinking about the same?
~ Around a hour later ~
- The girl just woken up the annoying one, are you going in?
- I wait until he falls asleep. I give him 5 minutes.
- Okay.
Aaand I wasn't wrong, he was asleep as I said.
- Just stay here bud, I get your tail and we can go home finally.
- Be safe, but I'll watch you from here.
- See you in a moment.
With that I silently walked into the camp. I can see in low light, thanks to Toothless, I had to get used to it. The fire was out, there was only ember, and it's enough for now.
My stuff were all over the ground geez don't they know what privacy means?
First my clothes, so I may won't get a cold, I've just got my pants on I felt way more comfortable near to humans... when I had a really bad feeling, so I turned around just in time to see a blade that striked at me but I managed to dodge. Ohhhh I'm so happy for my training! Before any words could be saied I run off to the beach, lets get far from the others. She shouted back, but I heard it clearly they didn't wake up, but she is afraid of losing my sight, so she is after me. Interesting...? On the sandy beach I saw their ships and I jumped on because why not. I could use this place to fight.
- Get off from that ship!
- Why should I?
Astrid's POV
This guy already pisses me of! Who is he and what is he want?! What he wanted to stole?! I tried to hit him until he is harmless, but he is good. Too good. In the end I used my deadly blows but he was way to agile to be hit! Damn you! Where is he going? Oh no.
- Get off of that ship!
I followed him, I tried to hit him... without any luck. He used the parts of the boat to deflect, or just he stepped by the boxes to make me go around to reach him.
I stopped to recollect myself, he stopped too. He choose to fight on the ship because he knew I don't want to destroy it. Smart... and now he is just staring at me! He had a black coat with a hood on, I couldn't see his face even in the moon light.
I asked.
- What do you want?!
- Hm I don't know.
- Answer me!
I striked with my axe but he dodged like always!
- Strange question from the one who STOLE my CLOTHES.
He jumped backwards and swung his robe away so I could see his bare torso with tons of scar.
- Wai... what?
- Um yeah. I would appreciate if I'd could get my clothes on, because it's cold here, expecially at night.
- ... who are you?
- I don't have to answer.
- Than I make you!
I charged at him on more time I make him talk one way or an another!
I attack, he dodge. An endless circle! I stopped and I tried to think about my options.
- Aren't you tried yet?
- Grrr! No, I'm not! Who are you and why are you here?
He did not answer but shouted:
- Oh... nonononononononononnoooooo!
What now?!
- What are you doi...
I couldn't finish, because he became rapid fast and pinned me to the mast, and shut my mouth with his hands. I don't know how he got so much strength in him to keep me in peace, when he looks so skinny! .... He has muscles... looots of it. He was clinging right on me, so I could tell that, but he was focused on something else, aaaand I felt my face heating up as he shifted. How dare he stand this close to me? It's way too uncomfortable for me and I can't break free he is too strong!
When I heard something raising up from the water I froze and deafening suffering dragon roar. After it, only a deadly calm remained I literally felt both of our hearts beating. We stayed like this for long-long moments when that thing swan away.
He let out a relieved sighed and loosened his grip on me, and stepped back.
- Shit. Why here, why now?!
- What was that?
- Sorry, I'd dance with you a bit, but I gotta go. - Oh why can't you answer! With that he ran of, and shouted. - TOOTHLESS!
- WAIT! COME BACK HERE! - I followed him again. - And who is Toothless?
He ran back to the camp, straight for his stuff, because of my shouts everyone woke up, although the mysterious person couldn't care less just rumbled.
*him* - Oh great. You totally have to break everything that was breakable?!
*Gobber* - Who are you and what are you doing in our camp?!
*him* - Just taking back some stuff.
- And who is exactly "Toothless"?!
*him* - Oh for Thor's sake, did you have to break everything??!
- Why can't you answer?!
I charged at him, while he wasn't paying attention, but I was wrong, he leaped out of my way, and in his hands there was already his stuff in his backpack oh and he got his claws back from the twins and he was out of my reach when I heard someone approaching from the forest.
This little distraction was enough for him to escape, but not from me! He followed the path so it was easy to keep his track, and I made enough noise for the others to help them following me. I heard sounds behind me. Cool. You are not getting away from us stranger!
Hiccup's POV
I chose a path for my escape route so I could go fast even if I were traceable It was better for speed and that's what I needed. I gotta hurry, these traps not made for capture dragons alive and that pack of scauldron will die if I can't make it in time.
Now I was running on the beach's stones, my mind was thinking fast about my next moves. During my sprint I missed to realize one of the suffering scauldron spitted boiling water at me but the previous deadly nadder appeared and in the last moment she grabbed me. Ummm us. Astrid screamed from top of her lungs.
- Hey girl. - I petted her leg to get her attention - Can you open your claws? I'd prefer to be on your back.
- Sure! Will you climb up?
- I planned to.
She loosened her grap on me, now I was hanging on a dragon finger in this height...
- Could you hold this for me?
- 'course
I pressed my stuff to his huge "hand" so she closed it immediately, nearly slicing down my arm. I always forget there are untrained dragons all around the world, and they kill you whenever they want it or not xD I quickly climbed up to her back, and when Astrid was finally out of breath from her death scream.
- Umm Astrid, could you stop screaming?
- HOW WOULD I WHEN A BEAST TOOK US?! ... wait. Where are you?
- Up here.
- What? You are ON that ugly reptile?!
- Say one more bad thing about her, and I'll tell her what's you've been calling her.
- Wha...?
- You know nadders are quite vain beauty... and even me would not be able to stop her whatever she'd do with you than.
- How? I don't get it... oh. OH. You are the Traitor, aren't you?! Let me go!
- We are high up in the air if you hadn't realized... if we'd just drop you, there's no chance to survive.
- ....
- Hey Whisperer! What is this?
I looked down, and my suspicion was right. It was THAT trap.
- The cruelest and the most effective trap I've ever seen. They must have gotten caught recently, they still have chance, but only if we move quickly.
- So what do we do?
- ... do you have friends here?
- Yeah...?
- Take me to them.
- And...?
- You may not like it but I need you to help me, we can't save them otherwise.
- Oh! We will work for you? To save more of us? COOL! What we will do?
- I need human hands for the job.
- Oh! So we will be ridden? COOL!
- Hehe... we can say that...
- YEAH!!! We are here!
Oh. I looked down, as the nadder called for them. A monstrous nightmare, a zippleback, a gronkel, and a pack of terrible terror! Perfect. Before me, my saviour told them everything and their doubts faded when I spoke to them on their language, I did not explain anything, just headed back to get the others.
During the way the zippleback disturbed Astrid, they looked at her from both of her side, now she felt threatened. I giggled, than I turned to the terrible terror, and sent him home, to get reinforcement, aaand a new tail for Toothless, he would appreciate that.
The deadly nadder shouted me out of my day dream, we arrived, now the other humans are aware of our arrival too, aaaand I heard they shocked gasps too, when they spotted Astrid and me... she was dropped before we landed, and just stood there not saying a word. Strange. Snotlout tried to run to her, even Astrid piercing gaze didn't stop him. Yap. Until the big spiky girl didn't notice and shot a few spikes to stop him.
*Gobber* - Who are you?!
- I don't think it's so hard to guess....
He didn't wait long until he attacked me... but I disarmed him after few moments of dodging, when I heard the screech of Toothless.
What happened? Oh. He shot out the sword from Snotlout's hand who was about to take me down when I'm not paying attention... It's so like him... and it's my fault trying too hard to not hurt my old master, I have that much respect for him to risk to be nicer than I should be now.
The flying weapon landed on Gobbers head thankfully not with it's shape side, but still knocked him out. Wow. The others recoiled when the famous nightfury stepped out from the shadows with his whole glory. Yap. He knows how to make a entrance, not like me, when the other dragons landed here as well.
*nightmare* - OHHH! I want that aggressive kid! He wanted to attack the Whisperer! Cool!
*nadder* - I already choose the girl, she was fighting with him!
*nightmare* - I bet she didn't even know who is she against! It's easy!
*nadder* - Ts! No it's not!
- Guys, can you stop?!
*gronkel* - I'd rather chose someone less frightening one. For example that scared one in the behind.
*zipplebacks* - Wooow. They are look alike! They are nearly like us! We takes them!
- No guys it's not auction!
- You know they don't understand you... but the humans look scared like they seen eels!
- Oh right. Just stop. We are not taking them as "Riders", we just need them for a few minutes.
- Shame... but after it we can say that the Whisperer asked us, and we were ridden under his command! So cool!
- Than come here first. - I smirked. - Be easy on him, cuz if he piss himself he still will be on your back...
- Nah. I did not choose a pussy cat!
- Do NOT move unless I tell you to. Snotlout, prepare!
I placed my hand to his nose and as I backed to the "riders" I led him there slowly, Snotlout tried to get his weapon back when Toothless growled at him so he dropped it. I smirked to myself and when we were fair close I grabbed his hand, but he refused to move.
- I'll feed him with you if you don't let me!
He immediately thought through his options, but in the end he "relaxed" his hand... until I replaced mine hand to his on the nightmares nose. He sudden panic was erased as the more or less calm dragon was examining him. Good. I left them.
*Snotout* - Hey hey hey! Where are you going?
- Getting the other dragons too. Ruffnut, Tuffnot your the next!
*twins* - COOL!
Yeah. No problem with them, thanks to the tolerant zippleback... cuz of course they rushed it! Fishleg was a piece of cake after this. Buuuut for the end... Astrid.
- I won't ride that.... ... I won't sit on any dragons back!
At least she took it back before she said anything rude. I sighed.
- Is it about the flaming idiot's human?
- HEY!
I shook my head and took some understanding glare up her...
- She's just saved your life, because she thought you worth the effort of saving. She could only grabbed me, but no... and now she is concerned about that muscle head, if he bothers you. She is working so hard for you to accept her. Give her a chance....
- ...I'd gladly smash your face...
She said with a tone I couldn't place... although I hadn't have much to think about it, because it started to rain. The nadder became over excited bouncing and accidentally tossed me to the ground. Again. I fell on my butt, the pouring rain soaked my cloak. Again!
However there was something more I wasn't expected... Astrid laughed viciously along side with her dragon aaaand every dragon followed their attitude, aaaand of course Toothless had to be the loudest! I was considering to throw a mud ball at his face when I saw something amazing. The two girl looked at each other eyes deeply, trying to reach each other... Astrid gave in, she just held up her palm but the nadder was already in it. She carefully scratched her neck as she looked up overjoyed.
- She loves the storms.
- ...Stormfly, hm?
Did she just named her? Cool. She's been always so cool... and even now I'm just lying on the dirt beside her glory. I shook my head I have to concentrate!
- Come on, get on their backs, we have some job to be done.
I jumped on Toothless even if we couldn't fly, he is faster on foot than me.
- Follow! Follow!
I roared back and bolted forward.
(A/N Okay, for those who interested in, my first idea was: Hiccup saw a dragon on the ship where they hide until the dragon goes away, and comes to light this dragon is his enemy, from the time he barely could spoke their language and offended her so badly, now all she wants to destroy him. He doesn't want to fight, so runs back to the camp, take his stuff, and runs away, after the nadder saves them, Hiccup flies away with Toothless, his tail barely working but working, and the gang just saw them going away. Astrid realize she was attacking the whole mighty Dragon Rider, and in the end everyone of them afraid he will takes revenge for his favorite dragon's tail fin, which was destroyed by the twins... but I thought it would be more fun if he must teach them how to ride dragons in order to save the captured one. I hope you enjoy this version :) )
