God, I can do so much better!
So you open your eyes to the awkward smile from a boy you do not know. Nothing you can't handle yet.
Weak from exhaustion, nothing look familiar and I'm soaking wet…still, better than death; or worst.
"So…are you okay?" the boy asked.
"I think….I will be." I said, I sounded so helpless. "Where am I?"
"A couple of miles off the coast of the Island Berk." The boy informed me, his voice was so nasally.
My mind was so foggy that if I had heard of it before I completely forgot it. "Alright…..where is Berk exactly?"
"Oh, a few weeks north of Hopelessness and hanging about the Meridian of Misery…"
Either I was going crazy or this guy had no clue. "What?"
He shrugged and put on a goofy apologetic smile. "Uh never mind. (he noticed I was trying to stand.) Can you walk?"
By the rate I was going, it would not be any time soon. "I can try…"
I tried to put all of my body weight on just my feet. I barely put my head higher than my shoulders when I fell forward.
What my body met was the skinny frame of the kind stranger. He had put his arms out to catch me.
"I take that as a no." He stated.
This was embarrassing; me being held up by some skinny guy like I was some dainty flower. I didn't want to be this person but my fatigue kept me limp.
And seeing a big, hungry-looking animal did not make my day look brighter.
The said this very slowly, my eyes never leaving the monster. "There is a big scary animal right behind you."
The boy's pupils carelessly motioned to the back of him, though his head didn't turn. He said just as slowly as I did." I would not worry about it."
With my teeth gritted in fear, eye huge. I asked. "How can you say that?"
He casually said from the side of mouth. "Toothless. Do the Face."
The monster's ears perked up, his eyes widened and…became the most adorable creature I've ever seen. With his front paws crossed, one ear higher than the other…and don't get me started on the eyes.
"Amazing ." I was in an area where scrawny people kept massive monsters as pets.
"Yes, but tell me how you really feel?" The boy sounded smug but his question didn't make sense to me.
"I don't get what you say." Yeah he was weird but had some stuff going for him.
He shrugged and put on another awkward smile. "Yeah, I try to be funny."
The boy had the best intentions…and nice green eyes. "Well, you're nice if that counts…and kind of cute."
It was necessary to say that out loud, cause I meant it. He was pretty cute; the weird hopelessness made him more endearing.
"Yes he's the full package."
A female voice said from the side, as it spoke the boy tensed up. We both turned our heads (it was then I realized I was still leaning on him.) to see a vicious looking blonde girl.
"Yep, a bucket full of bone-crushable cuteness." The girl was covered with skulls even with a sour pout you can't deny how pretty….OUCH!
The boy pushed me out of his arms, walked back four spaces and let me fall face first into the sand as he said "HEY HONEY, I was JUST behind you!"
He did notice me again as i was spitting sand, "Sorry," he whispered. He turned to the girl, voice all extra high with ridiculous worry. "I was really, right behind you when-"
"Save it." She had her arms folded, then walked up to me. "You can't walk at all, is that what I'm getting?"
This blonde had a demanding tone- I didn't love it. "It would seem that way." I had no reason to be rude so I just said it as fact.
"And it would be wrong of us to leave this poor, feeble girl confused on a beach. Agreed, sweetheart?" the boy sounded like he was almost afraid of this chick- undeniably they were a couple.
He stared at his girlfriend, testing her conscience, and then she pouted even harder and sighed.
"Fy-ne." And with that she bent down, yanked me up (I squealed in surprise) and put me over her shoulder like I weighted nothing. "To show good faith, we'll carry her back."
She walked forward, back straight like I wasn't a bother at all, towards another beast. But no matter what trick you try to pull, this animal could never be as cute.
"I don't really see how that- (she turned he head around, her face looked open to questions) that is a great idea. Toothless and I will follow."
Both people got on their pets; I was with the blonde on her spiky monster. It took one amazing second for me to realize the beasts could fly. I had to grab the blonde's body to keep hold…I would have preferred the guy.
"Your male-friend is really nice." I stated, loudly so it could be heard over the wind.
"Stupid idea." The blonde said in a warning tone. "Really- don't even try."
