How to Train Your Dragon, The Second Time

Sorry if the readers don't like it, it's my first story

I just became obsessed with HTTYD after I saw the movie in June!

I saw it SEVEN TIMES!

By the way, Pembroke is the name of a 12th century Welsh castle.

I just borrowed the mane because I thought it sounded like a good name for a house.

(I wish I did though)

P.S. The 11th paragraph is from Estrid's Point Of View

Chapter 1: Another Mistake

1014 a.d, Berk Island.

BOOM!

After uncovering her ears, Fae sighed dramatically. This battle had been going on for hours! One side was going to have to pull back and retreat eventually. But Fae knew the villagers, they were as stubborn as a pure bred donkey! They definitely weren't giving up any time soon. Fae was bored sitting in Pembroke Manor watching all the action happening wished she could be a part of it. The least the villagers could let her do was pass the water pitcher around or something. But no, her father had told her to stay where she was, sitting on a chair in Pembroke Manor.

Ever since she had accidentally ruined a battle plan by spilling some ale on it, the village never treated her the same. They all expected her to be clumsy and it didn't help her confidence a whole lot! She was kinda clumsy, she had to admit, but trying not to mess up, without actually messing up was difficult. She could feel everyone's eyes on her every time she went out. With everyone just waiting for to trip and fall, it was impossible not to make a mistake!

She was the great-great granddaughter of Hiccup Haddock, the great dragon tamer, and Astrid the tough for crying out loud! But everyone still treated her older sister Estrid better. Estrid always got everything: the men, the praise, the glory, and the town's approval. Even though she and Estrid had the same reddish brown and freckles (the only difference was that Fae had green eyes and Estrid had blue eyes) everyone still thought Estrid was prettier than her. Estrid thought she was better than Fae too! Just because she was 15!

Whoosh!

A plume of fire erupted through the window, interrupting Fae's thoughts. She snatched a vase full of flowers and threw the water on the flickering flames. As she watched them die out, Fae's thoughts started wandering again. The war with the dragons had been going on for decades, and in Fae's mind, that was decades too long. Ever since a dragon had killed nearly half of Berk's population in an angry rampage, the humans hadn't trusted the dragons. Then, a month later, a Berk resident had killed an elder dragon. The dragons couldn't trust the humans after that either. So both sides still fought for revenge from the merciless murders inflicted by both. Every child in Berk was told this story when they started teething.

Fae thought it hard to imagine that there had ever been a time when the humans and dragons were at peace.

Suddenly, Fae was being dragged out of the room and out the front door by her governess, Ingrid. Fae saw that a wave of crackling flames had engulfed the roof. If they'd stayed in that house any longer, she and Ingrid would've been sitting ducks! As Fae watched the roof burn, Ingrid pulled her through crowded tents and catapults. All of a sudden, someone yanked Fae out of Ingrid's grasp, It was Estrid.

"What are you doing out! You know you're not supposed to be out here!"

Then Ingrid cut in"The roof of Pembroke is on fire Estrid, the house is just not safe to stay in at the moment."

And it wasn't my idea to bring me out here. Fae thought.

"Fine! Just make sure she-" Estrid sneered, pointing rudely at Fae "-doesn't get in our way!"

Estrid pushed her sister into the nearest building that wasn't on fire. Which happened to be the blacksmith's. Asher, the blacksmith's son, was assembling arrows. Asher got to do something, why couldn't she? And he's no older than I am!

"Hi Fae!" he called over the noise "When I saw the fire at your house, I thought you'd been barbecued!" he grinned as he wiped some soot from his face.

Smiling slightly, despite her previous annoyance, Fae said "Me? No way the village doesn't have that much luck!"

BOOM!

Fae's heart leaped into her throat as she whirled around to see what had made the noise. Someone had brought down a zippleback using a catapult. Fae watched as the zippleback was tied with ropes.

Asher shrugged "Probably going to be used for a future dragon training class."

Fae nodded, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for the dragon. She quickly shook those thoughts from her mind, everyone was taught since babyhood that all dragons were evil.

Then Estrid rushed over with a bow over her shoulder and an empty quiver on her back. She shoved the quiver at Asher, who quickly began to fill it with arrows.

Estrid smiled evilly at her sister "Don't you wish you could be out in the action Fae?" she said deviously.

Fae was practically steaming with fury! Of course she wished she could be out in the action! Capturing and/or killing a dragon was almost everything in this town! Estrid ran off with her bow and quiver, laughing to herself.

Gods Estrid was annoying! Odin help her from strangling her sister! Then Fae saw something that made her abandon those thoughts. Estrid was shooting at every dragon she could get a shot at, not noticing a Deadly Nadder approaching her from behind. Fae ran out of the blacksmith's calling her sisters name. She may not have liked her sister, but Estrid was her sister, and Fae wasn't about to let her get fried to a crisp!

Estrid noticed a low flying Nightmare, if she could get that shot she'd have one of the best reputations in town! She took aim with one of her poison tipped arrow, and was about to shoot, when Fae jumped on her! The arrow she had been trying to shoot went flying off into the forest. How dare her stupid younger sister take that shot from her!

Fae had gotten there just in time! As she knocked her sister out of the way, a burst of blame burned the ground where she had been standing.

"Get off of me you pathetic little wretch!" Estrid screamed, not noticing she'd almost been killed. She pushed Fae off of her and stood up."How dare you!" she screamed "That was a great shot and you had to go and ruin it for me!" she pointed at the departing Nightmare.

At that moment Asher came running to her rescue " It was an accident Estrid, just calm down!"

An accident! I just saved her life and she doesn't even know it! she thought angrily

"No I will not calm down!" pointing at Fae, she yelled "You! You are going to find the arrow you lost and bring it back!"

Just as Fae was abou to tell her sister off, their parents approached them. "The dragons have made a temporary retreat." their father said. He looked at her in surprise. "Whatever are you doing out here?" he said with obvious disapproval.

"Pembroke's roof caught on fire father." Fae replied hotly.

"I see." he said, dismissive "Estrid would you like to what is going on here?"

Estrid pointed at Fae "I was about to make a very important shot with my bow when she knocked me over, making my arrow go flying off into the forest!"

He turned to his younger daughter "Is this true?"

Fae was exasperated "Well yes! But father there was a Nad-"

Their mother interrupted "Quiet! We'll discuss this back at the emergency house while Pembroke's roof is being repaired." her mother waved her away "Asher, would you kindly take Fae to the house?"

"They never listen." Fae complained as she and Asher approached the house "And when they do it's always with this disappointed scowl on their faces, like I'm some sort of servant they can't wait turn out onto the road."

Asher sighed, he felt sorry for Fae, but she didn't even realize what a great person she was! Despite what everyone else said about her. "Maybe you're looking at this the wrong way, it's not what you look like or how you act, it's what's inside that they can't seem to see."

Fae rolled her eyes and sighed " Shockingly Asher, that didn't really make me feel any better."

Asher turned to go "Just think about what I said." she was smart, she'd figure it out eventually.

"I will." Fae said as he left. "Later." she murmured to herself.

Thanks to the readers for being will-full enough to read it this far!

Review Please! I want to know if you think I'm doing something wrong, or if you have any suggestions for the story.

I can't believe I almost forgot to mention this, a story I read by almne called "The Past is Present" inspired me to write a story!

Thanks almne! You rock!
