Loser by day, hero by night. That's me.

I'm Vinyll. The typical Viking girl, nope. Skinny, tall, scrawny. And no, I'm not a Haddock. I'm a Hofferson. Why am I a loser? Because of her. Athena. We used to be best friends, and then she met Leiea. Now, we're the worst of friends. My only friends are Lethal, and my better best friend, Rocile. At day, a smart, shy, timid black haired girl. But at night, a fierce, no mercy red head. They call me… The Masked Rider.

…000OOO000…

A typical day in my shoes goes like this:

"Vinyll Nia Hofferson! Get down here!"

She just had to say it. Why.

"Coming!" I answered, annoyed by my horrible name. Nia. I think to myself, why I had to be named like that! I love my name, Vinyll, but hate Nia. I feel jealous of Athena, her full name Athena Anika. I don't really know her sister well, so I don't know much about it.

It's Monday, here at Berk. I'm about to go to the most prestigious school for young Vikings my age, about 10 and ten months. You see, I'm a top student here at the School of Dragons. Getting A+ in every test, exam, and project. Me and my dragon, Ravenclaw, share a very strong bond. My only problem, you guessed it, Athena. Sassy, arrogant, mean, rude, but pretty. Though Heather's sister, she is nothing like her.

After eating breakfast, I fed Ravenclaw. Guess what? I got pooped on. That took me 1.5 seconds to return to reality. Took a 19 minute bath, scrubbing everywhere. I washed and washed, until I was as clean as before.

I saw Lethal in town square, walking. " Lethal! Wait up!" I asked, running towards the short boy flailing my arms into the air, trying to get his attention. "Vinyll? What took so long?" Lethal asked, stopping by and running toward me. "Long story. Where's Rocile?" I asked, looking everywhere for the mere sight of my friend. "Oh, she went on Needlethorn. She woke up late, so she had to fly." He replied, as we walked to school. Lethal and I weren't exactly friends. He liked me before, and he liked me a lot. It didn't work for him, I never wanted to have a… You know what I mean. On our way we caught Rocile. She's a really tall, skinny girl like me, but has natural auburn red hair that flows freely on her back. Lethal, on the other hand, is a tiny hiccup. Yes, he's a Haddock. Though he has a thin physique, he is really tough. He's like my brother; I'm like his sister, that's what we think of each other. Nothing else. "Hey Vinyll! How are you doing?" she asked happily. "Oh the usual, walking to school, get tortured by Athena, get on with things." Inside, we caught Athena. Curly black hair, turquoise eyes, thin lips, beautiful. "Oh! The couple's in!" Leiea teased. "Daughter of a troll," I muttered under my breath. "Shut up, Leiea. You know we don't date. Quit it." I said. "Ahem? You're not the boss of this school! I am, loser!" Athena said, then walked away with Leiea, gossiping about how dorky I am.

After a day of school, I do homework, then suit up. At night I wear a black coat, leggings, red fur boots, and of course, my mask. By night my hair unusually becomes red and curly, but I think of it as an advantage. I mount Ravenclaw, who is a Screech. Screeches are big screamers. Of course, she screeches. Tonight, me and Ravenclaw stay up till dawn.

"Help! My kids are stuck in the house! Please! Anyone!" a woman cried, for her kids were in the burning house she had once called home. I heard, and told Ravenclaw to immediately find the house. I saw the kids, suffocating, dying. I couldn't bear watch this happen. Not again. I lost my sister, Maia, from a fire. I never wanted that to happen, and it won't. It was hard, but luckily, Ravenclaw helped. She carried the kids, and I safely went out the burnt house, despite feeling drowsy and weak. I gave the woman her children, then went back home. "Thank you Masked Rider!" the woman shouted. But that is yet the beginning of my tale.

CHARACTERS: Rocile (Ro-sill), Lethal, Vinyll, Athena, Leiea (Lei- A)
