I do not own How to Train your Dragon or its characters only the story.
Btw this will not replace my other story I am making.
Again I am still dyslexic so there will be some grammatical errors along the way reviews are appreciated especially critical ones as it will help the standard of my writing.
Also I know Black panthers are not the correct names for them but I'm going to use it any way.
Now on with the chapter.
The wind howled. The rained Pounded. The sky blacked around the long destroyed city.
Broken sky scrapers with holes down the side, the streets cracked and splinted around them. Roots breaking the surface of the grey vacant road. Small shrubs prospered at the emptiness.
Here is where the long forgotten survivor was. Sneaking around one of the smaller skyscrapers with a median sized dark red backpack securely fastened to them. There was a dark brown pair of hiking boats on his feet coming just above the ankle of him keeping his foot in place in case he fell. He was also wearing a simple pair of dark blue pair of jeans with a hole on his right knee. Exposing part of this young man's leg. He wore a crumbled dark red shirt dirtied, and slightly torn around the bottom. Over that was a large plain black wool trench coat hanging just above his knees. However, what you could not see was a small M9 pistol securely fastened to his hip by another leather belt. He had dark brown hair that was ruffed up however slightly wet form the rain rattling down like gun fire on the side of the building. To light his path was a small black torch held in place on his bag bobbing up and down with his steps. His name was Hiccup.
Hiccups POV
Here I was once again scrounging around another skyscraper this was not the first sky scraper I have gone though and yes I know they would have all been searched by now. However, if they have, it is extraordinary how much people leave. At this point in time I was climbing a stair case that was cracked and had bits of it broken off yet I was not scared or even slightly fazed about it. A closed door was on my right so I stooped. Grabbing the handle, I pulled it down. As I tried to push the door open the door did nothing, I tried again in hope it would open but I tried in vain. I sighed and pulled out a small lock picking set out of my inner side pocket of my coat. I knelt down and open the box revelling multiple small metal objects I picked out the main tool and another small metal rood and closed the case I moved up closer to the door and shined my light on it putting the two small object I skilfully moved them around, having done this now so many times I knew how to pick locks.
The door made a small click I opened my case up once again and put the two objects back closing the case I put the small black box back into my coat. I then tried to open the door once again however this time it had a different result and the door open. As I pushed the door there was a load scraping and screeching coming from the door. I cringed at having to hear that sound echoing around the building. I walked through the door and looked down the long corridor, I looked back I had only went up 12 flight of stairs I could see other skyscrapers and that's about it. I continued walking down the corridor. What surprised me was a white door with a pin code to the left of the door along with a retinal scanner by the looks of things. At this point I was getting extremely curios this was a first for me.
I pulled out my pistol that was sat in my holster on the side of my waste and held it out in front of me, felling there was something wrong with this place. My mind was running through a lot of ways to get this door open the power had been out for years and even if It was on I would need an eye of someone that worked here. I tapped on the door to get an estimate of how think the door was and if it was hollow. There was a metallic sound that hit my ears now even more curious about why it was so heavily guarded and it was metal and by my calculations it was about 4 inches thick. I thought for a second about shooting the hinges or were the lock would be but then I thought about if there was someone behind the door and quickly decided against it. I looked around the hall and I could see another door just about half way down the hall.
Slowly I made my way over towards the door and opened it thankfully it was unlocked I peered in the room and saw it empty apart from a large book case I swiftly made my way into the room and looked around just in case I missed something. I did not. I lent up against the wooden shelf and It did not make a sound it took me all of around 2 seconds that it should of. I stood up and looked closer at the shelf and knocked against it. I thought it would have made a wooden sound but it didn't it was metal at this point I was really curious. My gun was put away in tis holster pretty fast out of small excitement. I pushed agents the shelf but nothing happened I then pulled and it made a small clunking sound I knew it was a door knowing it would be locked. I continued to look around the room for anything out if the ordinary I succeeded with most of the furnisher in the room gone or rotting it was not difficult to see a small leaver in the wall to the right if right of the shelf. I ponded why it was out I the open but I quickly put that thought aside as it thought at some point It would have been covered up with something. I pulled the leaver to my right and to my joy there was another loud clucking sound I swiftly glided from the leaver to the shelf and pulled. It opened.
I was joyed and curious to who would go through this much effort for something. I stared down the corridor for a second until my brain kicked into gear I pulled my gun up as I made my way down the corridor. The room ahead was pitch black apart for the small amount of light my touch was producing. Stepped into the room looking form my left to right.
On my left there was a white wall with a desk and a load of papers and files on them and on my right there was a window that looked into another white room. I made my way over to the papers on the desk and picked up the file on the top. On the front it read "Project: stellis - top secrete" reading a lot I knew that Stellis was Latin for Starless and starless was another word for black so I was intrigued. I opened up the front page not really knowing what to expect.
There was a picture of what most people would have called a Black Panther I was now confused I mumbled to myself "why would this be top secret a `Black Panther`" I read though the first few lines of the paragraph.
"finally we have done it. We have created what people would call a Black Panther. A pure black stealthy killing machine we have also managed to extend the life span of this animal to about 60 years old though genetic mutation." I at this point was shocked I skimmed over the rest of the paper and it said how it was made but at the bottom of the page it said "she`s pregnant with one cub we don't know how this has happened, it will also take approximately one-year. Approximate date until she gives birth 28/07/2016"
I shook my head and put the paper down think why would they need a `Black Panther` and then it hit me the date "28/07/2016" I looked at the paper franticly and I was right that was the date on my watch that was 2 weeks ago I trough the paper down and ran over to the window and peered in. I the room was a magnificent looking pure Black Panther It lead there unmoving and not breathing I ran over to the door and pushed ageist it miraculously it was unlocked and the door flu open I hurried over to the animal and looked at its beautiful face It was dead I stroked the magnificent creature. And it was still slightly warm to touch. It didn't register for a second until I thought about it. "your still warm" I said out loud. At this point I had my torch out in my hand and was frantically looking around the room for a cub. I could not see one I started to lose hope until I heard a little tiny sound that resembled a little whine. And the sound came from the side of the mother I looked down and some ow I missed the small creature but there it was. Staring at me with its magnificent green eyes and pitch black coat it had it was the most amazing thing in the world, I thought.
I slowly moved my hands toward the creature at made no exempt of moving or attacking me. I inched my hands forward until it made contact it was spectacular. It was so smooth and soft the cub leaned into the contact I was giving it and it slowly closed its eyes. I was breathless it was such a stunning creature I paddled over towards me and sat right in front of me. I sat down in front of it and I looked and its soft face. It got up and paddled up to me again and this time claimed on my legs and lead down there. It was beautiful and amazing I could not describe this amazing creature. The reports on this creature was all wrong this was no killing machine it was a genital beast. I scoped up the cub in my arms and looked at it was so content. I looked back at the dead mother on the floor and leant in and put my head onto it and whispered to her "I will look after it this magnificent cub of yours don't worry" as if the cub knew what was going on it jumped out of my arms and paddled to its mothers face and licked it. It was a sad scene to watch at licked her face one more time and pushed its face into its mothers. And then paddled towards me sadly with its head hung low.
I scoped the creature up in my arms and looked at its face it looked so sad yet behind that it looked at me so intelligently. I walked away from the mother with the little cub in my arms out of the door and back to the desk I put the cub down on the desk for a second were it curled up into a ball and lead there once again I looked at the cub sadly before picking up all of the papers on "Project: stellis" and stuffed" in slung of my backpack off and unzipped it and stuffed all of the papers into the backpack. I then once again slung my bag I to my shoulders and picked up the cub of the table and into my arm I walked out of the room and closed the `shelf` behind me. I them proceeded down the hall way. I looked at the end of the hall way and out of the window, intend of rain what I saw was the amazing glow of the sun high up in the sky looming offer the sky. I made my way down the stairs with the cub curled up in my arm.
As I exited the building I closed my eyes at how bright it was. It must have been unbearable for the little cub as literally all of its life it has been in the dark I looked down and saw the creature fast asleep in my arms. I smiled at the animal and made my way home where me and my new friend will be. I remembered not to get too at home as I was going to move in the next day or two to the next town in hopes of finding a proper place to steal down. I once again looked down looked down at the magnificent creature in all of its glory and the Black Panther curled up in my arms a bit more hopefully felling protected.
Right that was the first chapter I hoped you enjoyed it.
The next chapter will be focusing on Astrid and the other teens.
I put a lot of time into this chapter like in not joking 4- 5 hours. I know that's probably not that much or its too much but oh well.
Any way I hope you enjoy and I can't wait to make the next chapter.
Also reviews are appreciated especially if they are critical as it will help improve my writing any way FIlmShipher out
