The Pirate

Chapter 1: Attack

First off. I changed my name from Clean and Happy to Angel C and H. I decided to add most of my name in there (Angela). Second, My sister just joined fanfiction with the username ThirstyIris. She's writing her first fic so check her out! I'm getting hyped for the last Pirates of the Caribbean so I decided to throw HTTYD into a pirate theme! This might be the most fun story I've written in a while so buckle up!

*Biography*

My name is Astrid Hofferson. I am the daughter of one of the most feared pirates in the Archipelago. I am just as brutal as anyone. I've never lost a fight and I won't start now. I have never been caught by any law enforcement. My father died when I was 5. He was too greedy and tried to grab every last scrap of treasure during one of our raids. He never made it out. That was his problem. I sail from island to island selling and raiding. When I see a merchant ship, I steal everything. No one can tell me what to do. Boys would try and date me. But love is for the weak. My mother doesn't think so but love is just a distraction and will cause more pain if I lose them than if I hardly knew them. My goal, to become a legendary pirate like my mother, have my own ship, own crew and more wealth than anyone ever.

*Biography ends*

"Bring em in!" My mother yelled. We found a trading ship three times the size as an average merchant ship. The crew started to shout and laugh as we threw our hooks to bring the ship closer to us. We tore up their sails so they couldn't move. I grabbled my rope and did what I did best. Fight. I swung onto the deck and pulled out my ax. Most pirates fought with swords but I wanted to be different. I wield a double sided ax. That was my trademark. I clashed with the crew trying to fight us off but they were no trouble. It's easier just to kill them but I find it fun and more challenging to beat them without killing them. Then they can spread my name across the world. I went for the captain and stood in front of him.

"You made a mistake coming on board of this ship" The captain informed me.

"You sure about that?" I snickered.

"You'll see" He pulled out his sword. I held my ax ready to go. I charged him and we clashed. I tried to beat him without trying anything tricky but give him a little praise. He wasn't horrible at fighting. After I got bored of parrying with him I decided to use a trick. I parried and then used the hooked end of my ax to pull the captain's right leg out from under him. He fell on his back and I held the ax to his throat.

"You cheated." He accused.

"Well I'm a pirate." I smiled.

Suddenly I saw a shadow of a large... bird of some kind? I looked up to see what it was and then the captain made his move and kicked my ax away from me and grabbed his sword leaving me with only my fists. He stared me down and started to laugh.

"I never thought a pirate would be distracted by something in the sea."

I then heard a whistle through the air and felt my hair move from a short gust of wind. I returned the glare to the captain and smiled ready to fight but his face went from one of laughter to one of pure fear. I've rarely ever seen a face of pure fear. He looked like he just saw a monster.

"Oh no. It's HIM" The captain started to back up and turned to his crew which were still trying to fight. "Abandon Ship! He's here!" The captain shouted and ran towards the lifeboats the entire crew suddenly stopped fighting and ran like if they stopped they would drop dead. I watched the lifeboats drop one by one into the ocean and the entire crew rowing away as fast as they could. We were by ourselves on their ship.

"Well. That was easy." I picked up my ax and we started to gather all the treasures. I went below the deck to find what goods awaited me. I opened a chest to find some gold but not as much as I thought would be on a ship of this size. I then came across another chest of some maps and letters. The letters looked professional and like they were made for the captain's eyes. I figured I'd let my mother read them since she was our captain after all. I decided to head back up to deliver the letters when I came across a wall of weapons.

Swords, Pistols, Rifles, Battle Axes, you name it it was on that wall. What were weapons like these doing on a normal ship? To the far right of the wall I spotted a weird pile of cards. It was in a weird language and had strange symbols. I decided to take them with me also. I got above the surface as everyone was getting ready to head back to the ship.

BAM

Something hit the ship we were on. I turned to see what it was and all I saw was smoke. Had someone fired a cannon at us? There was no other ship in sight. I heard a whistle getting louder and louder when it passed me I felt the gust of air again.

*Explosion*

A hole was blown in the deck about 20 feet from where I was.

"We're under attack! Everyone find out who and where they are!" I heard my mother yell.

I looked to the sky and saw a black figure that was way to big for a bird but it was faster than anything I've ever seen. I saw it coming down again. I had to warn the crew.

"Up above! Take Cover!" the black streak hit the boat again. I got up and saw the streak flashing by again but I looked like it was coming for me this time. I got into my battle stance and the figure landed in front of me.

It had green eyes like a lizard, wings of a bat, but the skull looked triangular. It was a dragon! I thought they were a legend! An old myth! But what surprised me more was that there was a human on the back of it. The two looked directly at me.

"You're pretty powerful. What do you want?" My mother came walking up closer to them. The dragon looked like it was getting ready to fire a blast at her!

Starting off strong! This is gonna be fun! Again. Shout out to my sis ThirstyIris who's starting her first fic! See ya all in the next chapter! Don't forget to review!
