Friends not Foes

Chapter 1

Hiccup

Today was what I thought would be just a normal day on Berk. Boy was I wrong. You may think that every dragon is the same, same attitude, same personality. But you'd be wrong. The island of Berk is magic, we tamed dragons that once used to destroy our houses, burn crops and steal our fish. Dragons have changed a lot, but so have we.

We could be called the beasts, how we used the kill dragons, who were as frightened as us as we were then. We were bloodthirsty for the kill, to kill innocent creatures, but we have now been tamed. When I found Toothless that time, I did not see a vicious, violent creature, I saw a creature, to protect itself from us. His eyes held fear, no anger. I could have killed him, then and there, but I didn't. I showed mercy, that most of the Vikings back then were not strong enough to do. I wasn't a murderer, I wasn't a Viking, I was a dragon trainer.

This morning when I woke up, I was surprised to see Toothless looking scared, frightened. "What's up, Bud?" I asked him. Toothless looked at the mucky glass window in my room. I slowly walked over to the window, curious of what he was scared of, then I saw it. A mile into the sea was a menacing boat, cannons loaded, axes, bows and arrows, crossbows. Then I saw an unmistakable muscularly figure, dark lifeless eyes. "Alvin." I whispered.

Astrid

I woke up to see Stormfly was not there. Normally, Stormfly would be staring at me, with her golden glowing eyes and her beautiful blue scales, but Stormfly was gone. The door was smashed open, and there was a trail of dribble leading out of the door. I slipped myself into some clothes and followed the trail.

"Stormfly!" I shouted, when the trail came to an end. I looked to see she was standing on the cliff, I was relieved obviously, but annoyed by her actions. She should have waited till I woke up. "Stormfly! What are you doing…up here." I was lost for words when I saw what Stormfly had woke up to see. Alvin's ship, with cages, chains, nets. He was after our dragons, but most of all, after Hiccup.

Snotlout

Now look, just to make things clear, I'm not scared. Even though Alvin's ship is coming to take our dragons, and Hiccup, doesn't mean I'm going to panic like some weak Viking, I would name names. HICCUP! I'm a man, not a wimp. Hookfang, decided to sneak of, and to disobey me. Stupid dragon. I don't know why I even bother with him. I give him food and water and a place to sleep, what more does a dragon want?

But I'll tell you one thing, I will fight, because I'm a man, and that means I will become a hero, and people will treat me like a god. How clever am I?

Fishlegs

Ok, today I am officially freaked out, because we're being attacked, and I can't find Meatlug anywhere! Basically, I put her to sleep, and she was gone, I've already searched half of Berk. It's not long till Alvin will attack, and Meatlug will be first.

When all seemed lost to me, I found her, but in a bad place. She was taking a drink in the sea, but with Alvin's ship so close in, she had to be quick. "Meatlug! Girl, come on!" I shouted at the top of my voice. She looked up, but then carried on drinking. I started to panic. Then, it happened. A net came and caught her, she tried to escape, but she couldn't. "NO!" I screamed. I cried as I watched them lock her in a steel cage and cut her.

But then I noticed two figures that were tied up next to Meatlug! "Oh no! They have Ruffnut and Tuffnut!"
