I hate it when Hiccup kicks Stormfly and me are kicked out of the den. Hiccup and his mate, Astrid, get these funny looks on their faces then Hiccup puts us outside. This all started two weeks ago when there was a kind of celebration. I remember that day too. Hiccup paced the floor nervously and constantly messed with his hair when he looked at his reflection. He'd ask me how he looked. I tried my best to comfort him. I even did that trick that Hiccup taught me, smile, but he would get a sarcastic look on his face.
"Oh great," he would groan. "Dragon pity." Then he and Astrid stood in front of the entire village for a while. I was just happy when it was over. Needless to say, Stormfly and I have become good friends these last two weeks.
Anyways, back to what I was originally talking about. You would think that Hiccup and Astrid were keeping a secret or something and that they would whisper and stay quiet once they were in the den by themselves, but after a while Astrid starts screaming random names at the top of her lungs. Some of the names include: Thor, Woden, Freya, Freyr, Hiccup, I could go on forever. I still don't know who some of those people are. Stormfly and I are the smartest dragons on Berk and we still can't figure out who they were.
Stormfly decided to take a flight around the island. I wanted to but, because of my tail, I decided to walk instead. I wanted some time to myself anyways. Berk is really pretty at night. I especially like walking through the woods. The trees smell good and there is this great grass that if you sniff it, it will help relax you. I wasn't walking long before I heard a familiar sound. It was a Night Fury, and just any Night Fury, this one was female. Naturally, I was excited. I search the skies for her, but I saw nothing. Well I can't say nothing. I saw a shooting star and made the wish that I would find the Night Fury. Soon I heard Hiccup calling me. I looked one more time in the sky for her, but saw nothing. I then trudged home. Stormfly started to give me a look of achievement.
"I beat you!" She said grinning.
"I wasn't racing." I replied trying to ignore my own disappointment. Hiccup went to the higher part of the den and I snuggled into my bed. I was still thinking about her. I know I heard her. I then started to imagine what she looked like and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Hiccup came down the stairs and gave us breakfast. I ate happily. Hiccup always would bring me the best fish. If it was cold, he would cook the fish or if it was warm, like it was that day, he would make sure that the fish were cold. After I had finished, Hiccup and I went to the academy. He wanted to see if he had improved our speed after making a few adjustments to my tail. As soon as he set the clock, we took off and around Berk as fast as my wings could take us. We were only two dials faster once we got back. Hiccup said I did a good job, but I knew if I had my old tail it would have been faster.
Hiccup then took me out for a casual morning flight. He seemed to know I needed to clear my head and we just took it easy. Then I heard her again!
"Do you hear that bud?!" said Hiccup with excitement. "There is another Night Fury! Let's look for your pal!" I couldn't help but agree. We then searched the skies like crazy. We searched the remainder of the morning, but we couldn't find her. Even though I was really tired, I wanted to keep searching. I knew that she was around. Hiccup made me land. Sometimes I really hate the fact that he has control over where I go, but I knew Hiccup was just looking out for me. I was so disappointed. After Hiccup and Astrid were mates, I wanted a life long mate of my own. I slowly trudged to the shade of a tree and Hiccup followed me. "Come on bud, cheer up." said Hiccup. "We will find your pal." I knew that he was trying to make me feel better, but it didn't help.
When it was noon, Astrid had come with lunch for us. Well lunch for me, Astrid can't cook so usually she will bring Hiccup the food and he will fix it for her. Even though Astrid had given me a big basket of fish, I just wasn't hungry. I really wanted to find her. My Night Fury. I then started to imagine what she looked like. I dreamed that her scales were black as charcoal, her body was strong and slender, her wings were full, she had a whole tail, and her eyes were bright and glowed like gems.
My mind switched once Astrid got closer to me. Boy did she smell different than usual. I just stood up and walked away. It's not that its a bad scent, but it was really strong. I walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked out into the sky. There were a few puffy white clouds in the blue sky and started to scan for that black color.
Then I heard her again!
"hey!" I roared. "Where are you?" Hiccup had heard her too and jumped on my back. We took off for the skies once again and this time I was not going to back down! "I know your out there!" I continued to roar. "We won't hurt you. Come on out!"
"Are you sure it's safe?" she asked. Oh was her voice gorgeous. I scan the skies frantically I knew she was close.
"Yes, these humans are kind!" I replied. "Please come out." After a couple minutes she finally showed herself. I couldn't believe my eyes!
She came out of the white clouds and then I knew why I couldn't see her. She was as white as snow and her eyes were a reddish-pink. She was albino.
"Whoa!" said Hiccup. "A white Night Fury!" I kept looking at her and I couldn't help but stare. Not only is being albino rare, but she was beautiful too!
"Let's land." I purred. "I bet you're hungry!" I could tell she hadn't eaten in a couple day. She nodded and we went back to the shady tree. I pushed the basket of fish over and shared the fish with her. I was so excited and knew I had found my mate!
