Hey Everyone! This is my second story and will be a rewrite of HTTYD from the point of view of my OC Kaylee. Thanks for the inspiration AspiringAuthor19! I hope that you all enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD. If I did, it would have gone like this...
Kaylee was looking out her window. It was a dark night, made even darker because of the fog. It was cold, but this was normal for the Isle of Berk. As her friend Hiccup would say, "It's twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery." It was a pretty nice place to live all things considered. There's fishing, hunting, and a gorgeous view of the sunsets. There was only one problem, though.
A blast of fire came roaring towards her. In an instant she was up and running out of the burning building. Looking around she saw Vikings everywhere, and every one of them were fighting with something. "Dragons," she whispered.
She started towards the plaza when something ran into her. It was more like someone. "Kaylee, what are you doing here?" The person on top of her was a tall blond boy with blue eyes. He was around the same age as her.
"What does it look like I'm doing? Come on, we're going to be late!" Kaylee got up and kept running while pulling the boy along. "Where's Ruffnut?" she called over her shoulder.
He huffed. "She said she would meet me there. Didn't even wait for me!"
Kaylee rolled her eyes. Ever since she had known them, Tuffnut and Ruffnut had fought. They fought over everything, and most of the time she joined them. But now was not the time.
They reached the plaza just as the cry of "Fire!" was heard. Their job during the dragon raids was to put out all of the fires in the village. Kaylee picked up her bucket of water and glanced at the others. There was Fishlegs, her cousin, Astrid, one of the three girls in the group, Snotlout, who was always flirting with her and Astrid, and the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Oh, and Hiccup! He worked in the blacksmith shop with Gobber, his mentor.
Kaylee was about to throw her bucket of water when another blast knocked her off her feet. She looked up just in time to see Hiccup run through the crowd with something that looked like a mini catapult. She jumped to her feet and ran after him. She caught up with him just as he set up his device. "Hiccup."
"Ahh!" Hiccup jumped and turned around. He relaxed when he saw who it was. "Don't do that to me, Kaylee!"
"Sorry," she chuckled. "So, what's this thing for?"
"It's to throw a bola. I can't throw one myself and if I can take down a dragon then I might get a date!"
"With Astrid?" Kaylee smiled cheekily. Even in the darkness she could see him blush.
"Of course not!"
"Hiccup, if you're ever going to be able to join us and fight dragons then you're going to have to stop all ... this."
"You just gestured to all of me."
"Exactly."
"Thanks." He turned back to the empty night sky. "Come on. Gimmie something to shoot at, gimmie something to shoot at," he whispered.
A cry shrieked through the air. An explosion hit the tower and a black figure swooped in front of them. Hiccup took aim and shot. An angered roar trembled through the air.
"I hit it? Yes, I hit it! Did you see that?"
Kaylee's eyes widened as she pointed behind him. "I'm not the only one."
Hiccup turned around to see a Monstrous Nightmare crush his bola launcher. "Uh oh. Run, Kaylee!"
The Nightmare shot at them, but they swerved out of the way. They hid behind a torch pole and it shot again. Kaylee was squished between the pole and Hiccup. She saw the Nightmare reaching for them from the other side. She pushed Hiccup out of the way just as the Chief, Stoick the Vast and Hiccup's father, slammed into the beast. It tried to breath fire on him but only a few weak sparks came out. "You're all out," Stoick growled. After a few well aimed hits the Nightmare left. Stoick turns to us just as the torch falls down. Hiccup looks at the damage.
"Sorry Dad."
"Sorry Stoick."
"Okay, but I hit a Night Fury." And with that Stoick grabbed him by the back of his shirt and dragged him off. Kaylee was about to follow when someone called her.
"Kaylee, are you okay? What happened?" Tuffnut waved her over to where the other teens were. She came over and took her seat between Tuff and Ruff. She winced as her arm brushed against Ruff, she must have burned it when she was squished against the torch pole.
"I'm okay, my arm is just a little burnt," She answered. Everyone glanced at her arm and winced. She told them what had happened and by the time she was finished Tuff and Snotlout looked ready to pummel Hiccup when he walked by.
"Quite the performance," Tuff sneered. Kaylee glared at him. Even though it was kind of Hiccup's fault that she was hurt he was still her friend.
"I've never seen someone mess up that badly. That helped!" Snotlout said, determined to have the last word.
"Thank you, thank you, I was trying, so..." Hiccup trailed off as Astrid shoved Snotlout.
"Ow!" he protested. He chuckled as he turned to Kaylee. "I can't believe that he did that to you!"
"It wasn't his fault, though!" she protested. Snotlout snorted.
"Yea, right."
"You really should get that checked Kaylee," Fishlegs commented. "Come on, you should get back home and get it fixed up."
She nodded, it had really started to hurt. As she followed Fishlegs she glanced over her shoulder to see the others glancing after her with concerned faces.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" she reassured them.
...
At the house Fishlegs's mom, who had experience in treating burns, dressed Kaylee's wound. "Thank Thor that it's not bad. Just go easy with it for a few days."
Fishlegs escorted her to the mess hall where the other teens were waiting for her. "We're glad you're alright," Astrid said, glancing down at her arm.
"Yea. My aunt said that it wasn't serious, I just have go easy for a few days."
"Will you still be able to go to Dragon Training tomorrow?" Tuff and Ruff looked upset that they had lost their pranking buddy.
Kaylee's eyes widened. "That's tomorrow?"
"Yep," Snotlout said. "And if you need someone to help you, I'm you Viking."
Kaylee rolled her eyes. "Yes, I'll be there. I don't usually keep dressings on my wounds for more then a day anyway."
"I hear ya," Tuff agreed.
"Hey, I hear that there is a new dock being built to replace one that was lost in the attack. Do you want to come and cause some mischief with us?" Ruff asked Kaylee. Kaylee looked at her arm, then at the twins hopeful faces. She smiled.
"I would never give up an opportunity like that! Let's go!" she said and the three of them left the mead hall with the others shaking their heads at them.
...
That night, as Kaylee lay in bed, she thought about what Mrs. Ingerman had said before she went to bed. There was going to be another attack on the dragon's nest. While that happened all of the teens would be in Dragon Training. She couldn't believe it! All of her life she had been told the story of how her parents had died in a dragon attack, and now was her opportunity to get revenge on the beasts that had killed them. She rolled over and fell asleep with thoughts of Dragon Training still lingering in her mind.
And that's it! Please tell me how it went, what could have been different, and so on, feedback is always wanted. Don't forget to review! Until the next chapter!
