Double Helix

chapter 2

I woke up to being nudged, once again. This time it was light out though.

"Come on! I'm hungry!" cried Skrit. She was up to her usual self, being to lazy to get herself food.

"Honestly Skrit, I don't know how you survived with out me." I said, rubbing my eyes.

"wow, I know right? I almost DIED!" she said. I laughed.

I caught another fish while Skrit ate the extra from last night. After breakfast, we shot back into the sky and floated over to the village called Berk.

Before we reached it, I saw a black flying figure below us. It looked almost exactly like Skrit, but my Spree's face was more fox like, she was not black, and she had curvier ears and tail.

We sat still for a bit, watching the figure circle below us. I guessed it hadn't seen us yet. Suddenly, Skrit gave off an ear-piercing screech and looked back down to the dragon below us. It had stopped circling and was looking very confused. Due to the way Skrit's underbelly looked like the sky, it couldn't see us. It was then that I noticed a rider. He had a contraption on the black dragon's back and he motioned to go higher up, to get a better look at things.

The dragon shot up almost as quickly as Skrit had. They rested just a few feet below us. Skrit began to circle them. She squeaked a little, and the dragon looked around, thoroughly confused. I stifled a laugh.

"Stop it, Skrit, you're confusing them." I said, loud enough for all three beings to hear. The dragon rose up a little more and came face to face with us.

The boy on the black dragon looked shocked at both me and Skrit.

"Hey, what's his name?" I asked the boy with brown hair and green eyes. I was motioning to his dragon.

"Uhh, Toothless. He's a night fury if you haven't noticed." he said proudly. "I'm Hiccup, by the way." he added.

"This is Skrit, my Spree. My name is..." I trialed off. I had never really had a name. I knew I had one before the pirates, but the dragons always just called me something like Ray, mistress, or sunshine. The latter was used sarcastically when i would first wake up. "Just, uhh, call me Shyra." I said, cleverly combining my first and last names.

"Ok, Shyra. Where are you from? I don't recognize you from anywhere near here.

I looked at Skrit to ask if it would be ok to tell him.

"I guess it would be fine, he seems trustworthy." said Skrit.

"Wait, your dragon can talk? How?" asked Hiccup.

"You mean yours can't? All the dragons on my island can talk, sometimes they choose not to, but they are all able..." I noticed Toothless glaring at me with bright green eyes.

"So where exactly do you come from?" asked Hiccup.

"Huh? Oh... The Isle of the Norse. It's near the mainland called Norway." I said, looking back up to the boy.

"I've never heard of it, but maybe my father has. Come on, I'll show you my village." he clicked his feet and Toothless dived down to Berk.
I looked down at Skrit.

"Did you see the way Toothless looked at me?" I asked her. She shook her head and her ears flopped around her head.

"There is something about that dragon that I don't think we can trust completely." she murmured.
Skrit folded her wings in and i knelt down so I was laying flat against her neck.

"Lets show 'em what we can do." we say simultaneously.

We drop like a stone and pass Hiccup within seconds. He seemed shocked to say the least.

"Whoo-wheee!" I shout, gripping Skrit tighter. I brace myself and just before we hit the ground, Skrit opens her wings and we stop abruptly, hovering in mid air. I look straight to see a group of teenagers staring at us in awe and confusion.

"uhh, gotta go." I say, and Skrit leaps back into the sky.

"Oh my Thor! Are you all right?" asked Hiccup when I reached his level again.

"yeah, why?" I said, changing my position slightly.

His eyes widen and look almost scared. "How could you do that without a dragon saddle?" he asked, gesturing to his seat.

"i have no need for one, I've grown up with my dragons and have never fallen off, except for on the Krylers, but you know them."

"Uhh, what's a Kryler?" he asked, starting to fly again.

"don't you have them here? What about Ripslashes? Frinters? For gods sake, tell me you have a Spree!" I couldn't believe that he couldn't have my dragons there.

"no, what are they?" I face palmed.

"never mind. Hey, who are they?" I asked. I had noticed some more dragons and riders coming up to meet us.

"ohh, those are my dragon training friends. I'll introduce you."

Five teenagers - the same ones from earlier - rode up to us. They seemed shocked to see me. I wondered why for a second, but quickly remembered Skrit's coloring.

"so you already found 'er, huh hiccup?" asked a fattish boy with
Black hair.

"huh?" asked an oblivious Hiccup while i rode over to the boy's dragon.

"what's it's name?" I asked him. The dragon had a remarkable resemblance to a Ripslash, but the coloring was off, and it had wings. The Ripslash was a wingless dragon that flew using wind gusts that carried their light bodies around. They also had great lung capacity so they swim under water.

"uhh, what?" he asked. I gave up on him and decided he was stupid.

"hey, where are you going?" he asked when Skrit glided away.

"you are stupid." I said over my shoulder. I heard some snickering, then arguing from my right.

I turned and saw some twins on a double-headed dragon. It looked similar to a Kryler, besides the two heads, the fact it let them ride it, and it had no compass on either neck. It seemed like the heads fought when the twins fought too. I couldn't help but laugh.

They stopped at once and looked up at me.

"what are you laughing at?" asked the boy.

"you! Haha!" I held my stomach in my arms.

The siblings blushed slightly and ignored each other.

"So, Shyra. This is Astrid," he pointed to a pretty blonde girl. "That's Fishlegs," he pointed to a VERY chubby guy on an equally chubby dragon. "Those two are Ruffnut and Tuffnut," he gestured to the twins. "And that's my cousin, Snotlout." he grimaced at the stupid boy on the almost - Ripslash.

Suddenly, I heard a noisy chatter from above us. I looked up and saw my flock of Frinters.

"Mistress! We couldn't stand that you were gone!" they squeaked.

"we flew here to find you again!" they all surrounded me and tickled my arms.

"haha, guys, stop it! It tickles!"

"So sorry, Mistress!" they flew up a little so they were just above me.

"You're probably hungry. Go eat some breakfast while I meet more people." I waved them away.
I looked back at my new found friends and they all looked shocked.

"What was that?" asked Snotlout.

"Those, my dearest friends, were my island's Frinters." Skrit and I laughed at the 'dearest friends' part.

"Could we get out of the air? I don't think my Gronkle can take this much longer..." a terrified voice called out. I looked over to see a very tired bubbly dragon with Fishlegs just barely hanging on. In a minute, Fishlegs lost his grip and plummeted to the ground. I looked at Skrit and we nodded. She shot down wards and I loosened my grip on her. We matched pace with Fishlegs and his 'Gronkle' that was also falling at a fast rate. I stood up on Skrit's back as she caught Fishlegs. i jumped off of her and landed on the Burly dragon.

"shhh, calm down. Relax and straighten your wings. You'll slow down." i whispered to it. It gave a grunt as if in agreement and did what i asked. Now, think light thoughts. We began to hover higher and higher until we were back with the group.

"woah! That was crazy!" shouted the twins.

I shrugged. "I did it all the time with the baby Ripslashes at my island. they needed to be taught to ride the wind currents from a very early age." I said matter-of-factly. I changed dragons with a still shaky Fishlegs. Before I switched, I told the 'Gronkle' to continue thinking light thoughts. It didn't struggle with Fishleg's weight much after.

"th-thank you." stuttered Fishlegs, while the others stayed quiet.

"gods, I'm hungry, you guys got anything to eat?" I asked, getting them to stop staring at me.

"no, but lunch should be served soon..." just as hiccup said that, a loud banging noise sounded from below in the village.

"now, actually. Lets go." we all shot down from the sky, Hiccup and toothless in the front.

They had great food! It was better than plants and fish, which I had eaten my whole life.

"that was sooo good!" I said, leaning back on Skrit in the grass of a hill. The others had dragon training classes or something, so I had the afternoon to myself, Skrit, and my flock of Frinters.

"where do you think we should sleep tonight?" I asked Skrit, not wanting to be back in our little cave.

"I don't really know. Why don't you ask Hiccup or his father where you should go?" she said, while heating up the double helix pattern on her back in the sun.

"Don't you think it's odd how much you look like Toothless" I asked her. Her head shot up.

"I really don't like him. He just kept glaring at you. It doesn't seem like you should be alone with him." she growled. I nodded.

"Yeah. I didn't want to say anything cause it might be disrespectful, but it did freak me out a bit."

I heard footsteps coming up the hill and I sat up. Hiccup and Toothless were walking up to us.

"Oh, Hiccup! I have a question for you." I said. "Is there a place I could stay here? I don't really know anyone here." I said sheepishly.

"Oh yeah, you could stay with my dad and I. We have a lot of room." he said

"ohh thank you!" i said, jumping up and giving him a quick hug. Toothless stared at me still.

"Want to race?" Hiccup asked suddenly.

"Huh?" I asked. He looked at Skrit, then at me.

"A race. From here to the food hall, to back up here."

"Oh, yeah! That sounds fun!" i ran to Skrit and jumped on her while Hiccup climbed on Toothless.

"Lets go easy at first, then show them our all at the last minute." I whispered to Skrit. She nodded.

"Ok, ready...set...GO!" he shouted. We flew off the hill then made our way to the food hall. We were neck and neck all the way down, but as soon as we reached the large building, Skrit shot vertically into the air and dropped back down, so we were literally on top of Hiccup.

"WOAH!" he shouted and while he stopped for a moment, we flew quickly back up to the hill. When he returned a second later to congratulate me, I was doing a little happy dance.

NRA: so, her name is now Shyra. you will find that her dragons have many name for her. why? I'm terrible with names, so i decided to just give her a lot of them.

Shyra: so what is my actual name? i can't remember.

NRA: all in good time, my little plaything...*smiles evilly*

Shyra: O_o oh dear god...

Skrit: don't you dare do anything to bad to my rider...

Hiccup: okaay...hmm, well, REVIEW! NRA will get upset and do bad things if you don't...
