"I really did hit one." Hiccup was trying to get Gobber to believe him. The sad thing is that Gobber wasn't listening.
"Sure, Hiccup." I glared at Gobber. He looked down at me in shock.
"He never listens." I looked at Hiccup.
"Well, it runs in the family." Hiccup glared at me. I just give him a small smile. He loves me.
"And when he does, it's always with this... disappointed scowl. Like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich." We all know that when someone skimps on the meat in Stoick's sandwiches he gets mad. Hiccup then started to imitating Stoick. "Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy with beefy arms. Extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fish bone!" Now that's pretty good. I tired not to laugh.
"Now, you're thinking about this all wrong. It's not so much what you look like, it's what's inside that he can't stand." That isn't helping Gobber.
"Thank you for summing that up." Hiccup replayed sarcastically. Hiccup grabbed my hand and started to push me inside. Gobber stopped Hiccup.
"Look, the point is, stop trying so hard to be something you're not." Hiccup's face dropped. I know he's just trying to like everyone else. Being the runt in a Viking village and being the only son of the Chef of said village, isn't easy.
"I just want to be one of you guys." He pushed me in the rest of the way and slammed the front door behind us. He grabbed my hand and started to pull me out the back door.
"Hiccup, what is it?" He was dragged me behind him. He was waving threw the trees, making sure to never hit one. Him being taller then me I had to take twice as many steps and because of that I was tripping and using him to keep myself up right. We were coming up to a line of tree.
"Okay Vera, you need to listen before you say or do anything. Please?" Hiccup was begging me. I just nodded my head. "Ok, I'm going out to look for the night fury I hit." I looked up at him. Was he really? Oh my gods I wanted to so bad but I didn't know if Hiccup wanted.
"Okay, lets go." I grabbed his book, that we draw plans in. opening to the map we have made and start off in to the woods. I looked back at Hiccup. His mouth was hanging opened. "You coming?" I was starting to get upset. Did he not want to anymore? I thought he wanted to look for the Night Fury.
"That's it. No 'No Hiccup you can't you get killed.' or 'your not man enough to kill this dragon, you will die!' or 'Yeah right you hit a Night Fury' ?" He walked up to me with his arms waving in the air. I place the book to where I wouldn't fall as I grabbed Hiccup's arms.
"Hiccup, I was there when you shot it." I felt his forehead. "Are you okay?" He pushed my hand away from him.
"Vera, you know what I mean. I am shocked you just went along with it. Everyone else would have laughed." I place my hands on my hip.
"Well Hiccup, you know I am not like everyone else!" He smiled and grab the book from under my arm.
"Oh I know that. You are just as crazy as me if not more. I mean you told me that you want to pet a nice dragon." He started walking farther in the woods, as he was shacking his head laughing. "A nice dragon." He smiled at me as I give him a playful glared.
"Every dragon can't be bad. I mean look at some of the other animals we have as pets. The one that we use to fight. What if they aren't as bad as we think. Hell, what if they are nice but because we attack them, they attack back." I ran to his side. He looked up from the book.
"I have thought about that too." Looking back down putting a small X where we were. We did this for a less two hours before Hiccup got pissed off and wrote all over the page.
'Great now I have to draw a new map.' I give him a bitch face and just took the book from him.
"Oh, the gods hate us." I looked up at him. "Some people lose their knife or their mug. No, not us. We manage to lose an ENTIRE DRAGON!" He yelled as he hit a stick away from his face. When it came back and hit him in the face, he glared at the tree, as I looked up it.
"Um, Hiccup…" He looked back at me and then where I was pointing. The tree was broken in half down the middle. I pointed down in front of us and we looked down a long mark in the dirt, like something was sliding, and all the trees between the long mark had place there were broken.
"I'm taken that's a good guess on where he landed." Hiccup looked at me then back to the mark.
"Oh Odin. This is really isn't it?" I just nodded my head and started forth. "Hey Vera, what are you doing?" I turned to him again.
"What it look like. I am going to go find this Night Fury. I thought that's what you wanted to do as well?" He ran to my side.
"Yeah…but you should let me go first. You know to protect you." He pulled his knife out and started in front of me. What the hell was he talking about protecting me? I followed behind him. We came across a rock and looked over it.
"Oh my Odin…Hiccup." He walked out from behind the rock. The Night Fury was so beautiful.
"Oh, wow. I did it. Oh, I did it! This fixes everything! Yes! I have brought down this mighty beast!" He placed his foot of the dragon. It took a big breath scaring Hiccup off of him. "Whoa!" Hiccup slowly raised his knife over his head. "I'm going to kill you, dragon. I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father." I wanted to say something. "I'm a Viking. I am a VIKING!" Hiccup looked at the Night Fury and dropped his hands. "I did this." I place my hand on his shoulder.
"We can fix this." Hiccup looked at his knife then the dragon. Hiccup begins cutting the ropes that bind the Night Fury. I was lightly patting him. "It's okay. You're okay." The dragon jumped up, pushed my to the side and held Hiccup to the ground, glaring at him. The dragon rears back and roars in Hiccup's face.
The Night Fury jumped away from Hiccup and flew away. Hiccup got up slowly then fell and fainted.
"Hiccup!" I rolled him of his back and placed his head on my lap. All I could really do is wait. I couldn't bring him back to the village like this. Lightly I started to play with his hair.
I wonder why the Night Fury pushed me out of the way? It was like he didn't want to hurt me. It makes no since. I didn't realized that Hiccup had waken up and was just watching me play with his hair. I looked down and saw Hiccup's green, opened, eyes. I brought my hand away from his hair.
"Sorry." I helped him sit up. "You okay?" He held his head.
"Yeah, sorry…for…you know." I smiled and waved my hand.
"I would have done the same, if he did that to me." He just nodded his head.
"We should head back. By the time we get there, it will be dark." I smiled and got up. I held out my hand for him to grab, he grabbed it and stood up with me.
