Chapter 1

Hello! This is my first fanfic on Fanfiction and also my first fanfic on How to train your dragon. There might be some grammar or punctuation errors so I'm sorry if there is some of those. I don't own anything but the character Ashling, Stone and Kyna, more will be introduce later on. Also I have been working on this story since the second movie came out so there are more chapter but I will only post the first one to se how you the readers feel about it. Please review, and favorite. Enjoy!

This, is Berk. It's twelve days of North of hopeless, and a few degrees South of freezing death. Its located solidly on the meridian of misery. The village. In the word sturdy. Its been there for seven generations, but every single building is new. Theres fishing, hunting and a beautiful view of the sunset. The only problem is well the pest. Most people would have mice, snakes, bugs, nope, we have dragons.

I practically running, hearring people kept saying "get back inside" to a scrawny stick of a boy who was running the opposite direction from me. 'Be safe Hiccup...'

I ran trying to get to the hall with little children following my lead. My name is Ashling O'Meara, yeah I know weird name but better than the other names that given to the viking kids to scare of trolls or gnomes, like being vikings don't do that already. "Duck!" I threw myself at the kids as a shield not wanting them to get burned by a dragon. Lifting myself ignoring the the yells of others telling me to get the kids safety, tell me something I don't know already people! "Come on!" I grabbed two of the kids hands and ran to the hall once again. Out of no where a large warhammer made contact with a gronckle and skid across from the grounds. Looking up I gave a sheepish smile.

"What you doing out here with the kids!? Get inside already!"

"No really?! Come on kiddies!"

That young lad is Stone, he's tall, but not as tall as the chief, he has a lean muscular body with a scar that starts from his right shoulder down left side of his thigh, his skin tan with freckles that dust his oval like face, his hair is dark brown almost black that went down to his shoulders with one little braid with a leather strap that wrap around it, his eyes were a dark brown that showed much knowledge care but when in battle was a beast protecting his kin. He wears black trousers and bandages around his waist wearing a black fur vest. He is my older brother a warrior like the other vikings, but unlike the other viking warriors he won't kill dragons. Which I am very thankful for, the very thought of sickens me for many reasons.

Instead of going straight to the Hall I went to a bunker of a sort where the children could hide in there until the raid is over. It was made after when the dragons decided to surround the hall one day and we couldn't stay in there for protection and if something else comes up when we are under attack I would always take them there. You're probably wondering why I do this, well its my job! Instead of drowning out fires, working at the forge, or setting up medicines at the healer hut like the other teens my age I get help protect the kids when the parents are fighting off dragons! Most people question it, but I'm a special case.

We came for a stop when we finally reached the bunker, it was located near the bottom of the great hall, I threw open the little doors and quickly but carefully picked up a kids and placed them inside. "Stay in there, when its over your parents will come get you." The children all noded. I closed the doors and looked around then it hit me like a ton of stones. I clutched my head moaning in pain, I saw my friend running from a monstrous nightmare, it changes to seeing him kneeling front of a black dragon one that I have never seen before, and finally a great explosion of fire with the same black dragon and a strange winged creature falling into the depth of the flames and a man with long black hair with blazing red eyes snarling with much hatred, Hiccup on the floor and me bleeding over him…. my eye flashed open. "HICCUP!"

I ran without even thinking wanting to find my best friend wanting to tell him everything, but first priority making sure he stays alive. "Please be okay…" I took a turn and saw him running from a monstrous nightmare. I ran even faster hoping I can get the timing right. "Hiccup!" The stick of a lad looked up with fear in his eyes, I harshly grabbed his arm and made a turn behind a post and held him close hiding my face in his chest as he held me tightly as well hid his face in my hair. I felt the heat of the lava like fire hit the post, then it stopped. My eyes widen with worry then I heard Stoick the Vast harsh voice with little smugness in it. Wincing ever so slightly the post that protected Hiccup and I had collapsed and rolled down the village freeing deadly nadders from their prison nets and they took some sheep with them. Oh boy….

"Sorry, Dad." Oh did I mention my best friend's dad is the chief of Berk? Well now you know! Stoick just glared at us at Hiccups comment, I looked around and the whole village surrounded us. Oh jeez.

"Okay, but I hit a nightfury." Stoick without out warning grabbed Hiccup by the scruff of his shirt and with a surprise someone grabbed mine as well. Snarling I twisted my head around to see Stone and.. oh you gotta be kidding me, my sister Kyna. Both glared at me with disapproval.

"What where you thinking lass! Why you even out here? Shouldn't you be protecting the wee ones?" Kyna practically screeched out. Groaning I whacked my brothers hand away from my tunic making fall onto the ground. "They are in the bunker! I did my job and you know I keep an eye on my vision seeing if anyone needs me!"

That is my other job. I am somewhat a seer. But when I say that I'm more than just a gifted child with far seeing eyes. My siblings and I are not normal we are… well we're magic folk. My sister is a healer both physical and spirit healing and great at wards and has the sight of seeing spirits from life and death. My brother is a destructive elemental mage, he can practically control any element he wishes and make it into a weapon and if he truly wanted to he could make this whole island go under seas. He can also make earth into a amor and make lightning, fire and ice fuse with a weapon, like a mace for example, its quite interesting really

And me… well I have telecinese; meaning I can control anything with my mind. I can easily rope something in my head and move it. I also can read peoples thoughts, it might sound cool but its a real pain hearing people voices inside my head, and let me tell you something hearing Snotlout's thoughts about Astrid and Kyna body is bloody disgusting. But I'm a rare sort of mage from what Stone tells me. I am a spirit walker, its those who can leave their body whenever they wish. Its quite fascinating really but also strange to not have a solid form, I can walk the spiritual lands and speak with the ones who are lost or scared or completely mental. There is also something my siblings and I all have in common; we can shapeshift in one form. My brother learned his a while back, he's a Hippogriff! My sister and I still haven't learned how to shapeshift yet but we are still learning.

Stone said everyone in the family can shapeshift, we just don't know what are form is yet, but it always clear when at birth a mark will appear if given an animal that is what you shape into, or some crap like that. And sometimes we go our own way to learning new spells. Which is illusion for me.

"What was the vision this time Ashling?" Stoick asked with a harsh voice. I looked at him with a glare and sighed. "A monstrous nightmare trying to attack my friend." Did I forget to tell you that only thing they know about is my visions? Yeah when I had my first vision when I was six and they happen frequently after that, it freaked out Stone so bad because no one in the family was ever given such a gift (as far as he knows), so he took me to Elder Gothi who said Frigga bestowed gift on me that it finally appeared. Shaking my head at the memories when Hiccup started speaking.

"Yeah but I caught a nightfury, which it landed in Raven Point, and I actually caught one! Lets put out a search party out there before-"

"Stop! Just… stop." Stoick said tiredly. Hiccup and I flinched at the sound of his harsh voice.

"Every time you step outside, disaster follows. Can you not see that I have bigger problems? Winter's almost here and I have an entire village to feed!"

"Uh not to interrupt father and son bickering time sir, but don't you think we should eat less so we can preserve more food. So it will help if everyone eats less and instead of eating a whole chicken to themselves." I said rather bluntly not noticing some people were glaring at me or feeling self conscious about their weight.

"This isn't a joke you two!" He snapped at us. I bit down my tongue before I can snap back at him. He took a breath and let it out slowly. "Hiccup, why can't you follow the most simplest orders."

I bit my lip this time, so hard it started to bleed. "I can't stop myself. I see a dragon and I have to kill… its who I am, dad." Oh Hiccup…

"You are many things, Hiccup. But a dragon killer is not one of them." Stoick said tiredly. I gave a small sigh, that is true my friend is not a dragon killer and he will never be one. But that look of hurt flashed through Hiccup's eyes made my heart break for him. Out of instinct I grabbed his hand and intertwined my fingers with his. Hiccup's head shot up with a surprise look, I gave a sad smile only to have him look back down but giving a slightly squeeze knowing I was hurt for him. Stoick looked up at the blonde beard smith, Gobber.

"Get back to the house and make sure he gets there. I have his mess to clean up." Gobber gently pushed Hiccup to, what the villages calls, the walk of shame. His hand slipped from mine as he walked, and which was my turn to be pushed forward. I rolled my eyes and walked the same path with head held high. When we passed the teens I couldn't help but smile when Snotlout got hit by Gobber. And this didn't go unnoticed by the said boy.

"So Ashling, are you finally gonna give up on useless and join the side of Snotlout?"

I gave a snort. "Yeah the chances of that happening is when my friendship with Hiccup ends."

"Oh feisty." I glared at him but smiled when Tuffnut slapped him upside the head. Shaking my head I kept walking not noticing that Tuffnut was looking my way. Let me tell you about the teens. Theres Fishlegs Ingerman, a bit big for a fifteen year old ladd, real sweetheart and a very large amount of knowledge on dragons, he's nice to talk to but Hiccup and I don't want him getting pulled in the bullying so we hardly talk in front of crowds. Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thortson twins, total adrenaline rush junkies and two people you don't wanna mess with. Mess with one twin get hit by the other, but they can be very fun to be around at times especially when getting payback. Snotlout Jorgenson… bleh. Guy thinks he can do anything. And theres Astrid Hofferson, girl proves the women can be better vikings then men. I respect her but shes hard to speak to.

I sighed when we got to our hut. I went straight up to my room ignoring my siblings and looked at the mirror that was given to me a few years back. I couldn't help but give a small frown at my reflection. I also am consider as a 'hiccup'. I'm not tall, but not thin mostly a bit pudgy with wide hips, dark olive skin with dark freckles that dusted all over my body. My face is round with large eyes, my eyes I like the most of my features my left is a nice forest green and my right eye is hazel; ocean blue, earthy brown lands and forest green colors mix together. I looked at my hair and sighed, I once had very long wavy brownish, reddish, blonde hair that went down to my mid back. But for a while my hair began to slightly become into dread curly locks and losing the light blonde hair. Which I don't mine I get to wrap colorful wool around the dreadlocks but my sister keeps yelling at me to cut the locks and brush my hair. We live on a viking island, I bathe and make sure I smell nice unlike most of the folk here but my hair is something I can care less for.

But there is this one feature I love the most about me more than my eyes is my birthmark. On my back is this huge winged like shaped griffin, the creatures that once stood beside dragons in the olden ages. I love it so much! Stone has a birthmark that looks like a hippogriff on his back and Kyna has a pertyon on her thigh. People thought they were tattoos at first, it was kinda funny to see their reaction that it isn't.

I looked at myself over. I removed my sleeping tunic, boots and leggings and replaced them with a cleaner tunic which is a dark ocean blue color with long somewhat ripped sleeves that goes down to my knuckles that has ripped thumb hole and the hem of the tunic goes down below my bum. I grabbed some brown leggings that was slightly rip around the knees from skidding a lot to dodge a dragon... or a fist. I put on my non special brown boots. Looking at myself I smile a bit, but I was missing something… Oh! I grab my wool brown hooded poncho and smiled. As I walked out my room I grabbed my leather choker with a pendent on it that Hiccup made for me a few years ago, in which in return I made a friendship knot bracelet from colorful wool that Trader Johann had given me.

Walking down stairs my brother was gone and my sister was reading the Book of Dragons. My nose wrinkled in disgust. When I got down Kyna looked at me then back at the book.

"Sooooo… where's Stone?" I asked.

"He's helping cleaning and rebuilding the village. Why?"

"Just curious…"

She shrugged and continue to read. I looked at her for a moment, my sister is a year older than me she is also fifteen like the others, her face is heart shaped with long light blonde hair that curled quite nicely and she had bright blue eyes that shine, her skin is tan and flawless. Kyna is taller than Hiccup and I by a few inches, she was thin but not runt skinny, she wore a light blue tunic with sleeves that goes to her elbows and wore a brown skirt with brown leggings underneath with brown fuzzy boots. Kyna was one of those girls people envy to be, smart, beautiful and wanted by many boys around Stone's age. People always compared her and I together saying I should act like her, start showing respect to the chief and stop being friends with Hiccup if I want a life!

I always ignore them, I want to be me and be friends with someone who isn't an egotistical jerk and thinks he is special! Hel! I'm even best friends with Dagur the Darange! He does nothing but protect Hiccup and I and show his soft side to us! Yeah sure he can be a lunatic but really he's misjudged a lot as a kid. People always made fun of his laugh and how he will never live up to his father as a chief. Dagur is a sweet kid, his father adores him and always tells him he will live up to the family name. Anyway back in the real world.

I walked out of the house with a bag filled with food and looked around, everyone is complaining about Hiccup again. I rolled my eyes, now gotta find the talking fishbone. Taking a breath in, I closed my eyes and slowly let out my breath, while doing so it felt as though my own soul was leaving my body. I open my eyes and saw a different world. Spirits of dragons and vikings walked around the village, some even reenacting on how they had died, laughing about the good ole days and watching over their family. I smiled at the men, women and dragons being friendly to one another, but I frowned at the end. None of them are finished on the living lands until the truth of the dragons being here are know, none of them will speak to Kyna and I, they want us to find the answers ourselves.

Looking around I smiled when I notice a green faded mist. I ran over to the direction of the mist and saw where it was headed. Hiccup's spirit left a trail of excitement, worry, fear, and determination. Closing my eyes I took in a deep breath, feeling my spirit pull back in my body I ran. I kept running into the forest noticing Hiccup had left a trail with his footprints, I followed them. I ran as quickly as possible and tripping on a freaking tree sticking out on the earth and falling down a path. I used my arms to shield my face as I slid down the dirt, then I hit something soft and squishy…. welp I found Hiccup! … I think.

Looking up from my arms I cursed ever so silently. I did not find Hiccup, nope I found Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Damn it Loki, I thought you loved me! I had accidently landed onto Tuffnut's back and pinned him to the ground.

"Uh, hi?" Getting up I brushed off all the dirt from my clothes and slight cuts I earned from sliding down. I bend down noticing that Tuff hadn't gotten up yet. Grabbing him by the collar of his shirt I lifted him up making him stand on his feet again.

"Sorry for pumping into to whatever you guys were doing, I'll just be on my way now-" An arm slung over my shoulders before I could even walk away. Looking at the beefy arm my guess its Snotlout. Turning my head, yep I was right. The boy had this look trying to look… I guess a look to woo me.

"Well well. I knew you couldn't stay away from me." I gave him a blank look.

"Snot, let go of me. I'm in a hurry." He didn't let go.

"Snotlout, if you do not remove your arm away from my body and clothing I swear to the Gods as my witness I will hit you." I snarled out. He didn't look concern whatsoever. Oh, I'm going to love this. I gave a smile and gently wrapped my thin fingers with his beefy ones, I can sense him giving a smug smirk to the twins. Then I pushed my nails into his skin twisting his arm around forcing him to let go of me, using some of my magic I threw him over my shoulder and placed my foot at his neck.

"I warned you boy, I do not like being touch by half trolls like you!" I spat on his face and removed my foot from his throat. Turning around the twins were smirking or laughing. I smiled.

"Hey Ruff. Hey Tuff."

"Hey Ashling. So what are you doing out here in such a hurry?" Ruff asked with curiosity but mostly wanting something for gossip. I smirked.

"I'm looking for my Hiccup, I have seen to lost him. Have you seen him?" At the corner of my eye I notice Tuffnut stiffen at my words, but Ruff shrugged.

"Nah, we haven't seen useless. We came out here to fight. Wanna join?" The female twin asked with excitement.

"Nah, I need to find Hiccup. I'll see you two later." I turn on me heel and ran, not even caring that I stepped on Snotlout's face.
