THE GIRL IN THE COVE
"This is a wonderful place Swift, I guess there are no human beings staying here", said a girl to her dragon.
But it seemed that the dragon didn't want to listen to her, she didn't want to stay here.
They were right now in the cove, just the place where Hiccup and Toothless strengthen their friendship. Yes, they were at Berk , though they didn't know it.
The dragon and her rider were having a fight whether to stay over here or no. The dragon was saying to leave but the girl wasn't ready.
Finally she screamed, "OK, then just go, just go and just leave me alone here. Just go."
And the dragon as if she got insulted just flew away.
The girl knew that she would come back as she does always whenever she gets angry and flies away. She was now catching fish from the pond nearby for her dragon, her only friend.
At the same in the village in the chief's house Hiccup and Toothless were having an argument over Toothless eating all the bread stored in the house.
Though it was not that great issue it must be the headache which must have irritated Hiccup all the more and he yelled on Toothless, "You are a bad dragon. A very bad dragon." Now Toothless couldn't take anymore he left the house directly and went straight to the cove to spend little time alone.
Now back to the cove the girl caught some fish and was waiting for Swift but she didn't turn up.
And suddenly Toothless came up.
She turned back and said, "Swift is that you?"
No she was wrong, because she saw a curious night fury staring at her. She was shocked she tried to say, hi but before that Toothless started checking whether she had something suspicious, he was sniffing her.
"Hey what are you doing?"
The girl knew that the dragons like fish, so she said, "Want fish?" She pointed at the fish and Toothless happy to see his favorite food started eating it. Seeing the night fury becoming a little friendly she felt relieved but suddenly her eyes fell on his tail, just half of his tail was present. "Oh no, your tail…. Sad…. It must be the humans who did this." Suddenly she remembered something.
There back at Berk.
Astrid was telling Hiccup, "It was the terrible terrors I saw them eating fish near your home."
"Oh no, I shouldn't have shouted on toothless. He must be at the cove; he always goes there whenever we have a fight. Wait a sec, let me take me take his prosthetic tail and my saddle. Let's go walking."
In the way they even met Fishlegs and he accompanied them.
"Hey, we can be good friends, really," said the girl to Toothless who had just finished his breakfast.
Suddenly they heard someone screaming Toothless and the girl got scared, "Are they referring to you as toothless, don't they know that you have retractable teeth?" Then she said to herself, "Never must have seen a dragon so close. Must have KILLED IT ON SIGHT." Then suddenly she realized and spoke to toothless, "OH no, HUMANS. Swift was right I shouldn't have come here, but now I should protect you."
She knew she was nothing without Swift but she removed her dagger and now was ready.
Then Hiccup and the team entered the cove then the girl appeared in front of them from behind the trees and right behind her was Toothless.
She yelled, "I don't care who you people are but let me tell you if you want the night fury you have to fight with me first." Hiccup was confused; he asked "Are you talking about Toothless?"
Then she said as if she was giving information, "He is a night fury don't you know that. Just because it doesn't shows his teeth sometimes it doesn't makes him toothless."
It was as if Toothless was enjoying this because he wasn't supporting Hiccup, maybe he was still angry on him.
Then it was Astrid who spoke to the girl, "Yes, you are right it is a night fury and so" she said in a funny tone "it can protect itself better than you can I guess." And then started laughing, then the girl realized she was right and loosened her grip from the dagger.
Then hiccup said, "See we don't want a fight."
And then looking at Toothless he said, "Buddy I'm really sorry I know it wasn't you. I'm sorry." And it was like toothless changed sides; he went towards Hiccup and started licking him.
Then the girl interrupted, "I'm really sorry, I thought that like the other Vikings you will kill him and you were right even in that point that he can protect himself better than I can. I'm sorry." By her looks she was clearly embarrassed.
Then Hiccup asked softly, "Who exactly are you?"
Then the girl introduced herself, "Hi, I'm Alen. Me and my dragon Swift ran away from my island because it wasn't acceptable there, that dragons can be our friends. So we just ran away."
They were staring at her as if shocked to see her guts to run away. Then Astrid got away with her shocked face and introduced her to all the others. Then Fishlegs asked that where her dragon was and then Alen explained about the fight they had. Then Fishlegs said, "So we do have another dragon trainer, right hiccup?"
Well if you looked at Alen she had short black hair, she was as thin as Hiccup and by looking at her physique it was easy to tell that she wouldn't be able to pick an axe easily.
Then Astrid asked, "Come on we will show you our dragon training academy."
And no one gave Astrid a it-will-reveal-our-dragon-training-secrets look because it was like they started trusting her maybe because she tried to defend Toothless all alone (it was not actually a defend though) it also must be the compassion she showed towards dragons.
"You have a dragon training academy? WOW that's amazing!" said Alen but she was still worried about Swift.
And then off they went to the dragon training academy.
