It was a noisy afternoon in Berk. I was sitting on my porch trying to read, but every viking in town was talking about Hiccup. I knew who he was, I had seen him before, I just never talked to him. I kept hearing about how he flew on his Night Fury and killed a giant dragon. I couldn't believe it! Flying a dragon? Training a Night Fury? Wow!
I shut my book. It was too loud and I couldn't concetrate. I took my red hair out of the braid I had it in. Then, a I heard someone yell "It's Hiccup!" and I looked over to the Chief's house. There he was, with his dragon. He was limping, I didn't know why. So I got up and headed that way to get a better look.
When I got up the hill I saw that he had a prostetic leg. I hid behind a house and peered from the side to see what was going on. A blond girl punched him.
"That's for scaring me!" Then she kissed him. I felt kind of jealous, but shook it off.
"That's for everything else." she said after. The blacksmith handed him some fabric, and then Hiccup saw me. His green eyes stared at me and for some reason I couldn't move. He smiled and I finally snapped out of it and ran back to my house.
I really wanted to ride a dragon, just like him, so I got my sketchbook and ran to Raven Point. What kind of dragon I was looking for? I don't know, but I just wanted to see one and train it. Then, I saw a female Timberjack. I walked towards it and it turned and looked at me.
"Hi." I said. The giant dragon let out a roar and ran at me, slicing the trees. I dodged the falling trunks and ran away. The dragon followed and I could feel the wind from its wings. I was running out of breath. I'm gonna die. I thought. I didn't even bring a weapon. Then, I tripped on a rock and faceplanted into the dirt. I quickly turned on my back to see the Timberjack hovering over me. I closed my eyes tightly and prayed to Oden. Suddenly, it was quiet. I opened my eyes and sat up. Hiccup was waving his arms gently, calming the dragon down.
Finally, Hiccup's hand was on the Timberjack's snout, and the dragon sheathed it's sharp wings. Hiccup turned towards me.
"Hello," he said in his quirky voice.
"Hi," I said quietly.
"Here, come on, get up." He held his hand out and I took it, he pulled me up.
"How did you do that?" I asked.
"It seems hard but it really isn't. Timberjack's can be very mean, but Night Fury's are worse. Anyways, you just have to show them that you're not an ememy. Here," Hiccup grabbed my hand and placed it on the Timberjack's snout.
"Wow! It's so, scaly!" I said.
"Yeah, hey, what's your name?" Hiccup asked me.
"Oh, I'm Leena." I replied.
"Pretty name. Heh, I'm Hiccup." He smiled. He was so cute. "Why haven't I seen you around much?"
"Oh, I didn't want to do dragon training. Killing just isn't my thing,and I spend most of my time sketching or reading." I replied.
"Oh well I love inventing and sketching, reading too. So, this, Leena, is your new dragon!"
"Wow, it's so big!"
"You wanna ride it?"
"Wait, now?" I said shockingly.
"Yeah! That's a good step!" Hiccup said enthusiasticly. He grabbed me and helped me up on it's back.
"Toothless!" he called. The black Night Fury ran out from the trees to Hiccup. I was in awe, I had never seen a Night Fury til' then. He tripped and the dragon caught him.
"Still not great on my new leg, thanks, bud." He said, then got onto the Night Fury's back.
"He's so cool!" I said.
"Well Timberjack's are also cool, so lets help you ride it! Now, here," he tossed me a rope., "Wrap that around it's neck so you can hang on, I'll make you a saddle later." I did as he told me.
"Now, just tell it gently, to fly!"
"Fly," I said an the Red Timberjack's huge wings expanded and gave a huge flap and I was in the air.
"Woah!" I yelled.
"Okay now follow me," Hiccup and Toothless flew ahead of me and my dragon and I followed. I had to try and keep it steady. I was fast, but not as fast as Hiccup, whom slowed down.
"You're doing it!" he shouted. His hair looked cute pushed back from the wind.
"I am, aren't I!" I said back. He smiled warmly.
"Come on lets fly!" we flew beside each other, high in the clouds, and low by the water, all afternoon. I had so much fun, but then the blond girl that I saw kissing him flew over on a Nadder.
"Hey, Hiccup! I've been looking for you! What's up with ditching me after I leave to go to the wash hole?" she shouted angrily.
"Sorry Astrid, Leena here needed help, this Timberjack was after her and I saw her from dragon view so I went to help her!" Hiccup explained,
"Oh, Leena? That's your name? I noticed you earlier, peeking in on our kiss." Astrid smirked.
"You saw me?" I asked.
"Well Hiccup did, and I looked to see what he was looking at. Nice to meet you Leena. Well Hiccup, am I still having dinner with you?" Astrid snarked.
"Yeah, sorry Leena, I have to go. See you later." Hiccup said, almost gloomily.
"Bye," I called after him.
"Oh, why don't you think about naming that dragon of yours?" he called back. Then, he was gone. I thought about it and it finally came to me. Axewing.
