"What?" Valka stares in disbelief at your sudden request, "Outside? You know that you're not supposed to (y/n)."
"But Valka I want to see! I want to see what's outside, I want to go to Berk!" You raise your voice unintentionally, frightening the baby dragons.
Valka sighs, "(y/n) you know it's dangerous, you've heard my stories, it's not safe for a girl like you."
"B-but… Valka!" You cry with pain, that outside world that you wanted to see so badly. The people of Berk, the dragons…
You turn on your heels and run directly back to your room, tears beginning to flow down your face. Winter follows slowly behind you.
"(Y/n)..."
"Winter…" You stroke your dragon's head gently, her eyes open- it's red colour glowing in the dark.
Winter notices the bag on your side and the hood covering your head. She pulls herself up from the floor, stretching silently.
You pull a mask over your mouth and quickly guide Winter past the many sleeping dragons and out to the entrance of the cave.
The night sky is clear and the moon shines brightly lighting up the path.
You had seen this much from sneaking to the entrance of the cave when Valka was sleeping. Of course, without a dragon, you couldn't go anywhere. But now, you had Winter.
"Let's give this a try okay Winter?" You lift yourself up onto Winter's back, a part of her head sticks out two prongs for you to hold onto. Winter purrs gently as you pet her head, "up."
Winter flaps her wings, the fractured wing still hindering her flight slightly. The odd feeling of being up in the air is different and is in itself, fascinating.
"Valka said that Berk was half a day's flight West, so let's go. Take it slow, we don't want you to hurt your wing too much." You whisper into Winter's ears and they set off.
At first, the adrenaline fuels your excitement but as minutes turn into hours, you begin to tire. After flying for around 3 hours you notice an island off in the distance, an island with buildings.
Berk? You signal Winter to get closer to the island, thankfully Winter doesn't have any complaints.
At a closer look, you notice that the amount of buildings are minimal concliding that this was not Berk. Who lives here…
Fatigue starts to set in, you tell Winter to hide herself just behind the buildings, right before the forest. "We'll get up in the morning and see who lives here okay Winter?"
You pull a blanket out of your bag and cuddle yourself into a ball. Winter snuggles right beside you, cloaking her white wings around you in defense.
Night.
"How about it bud? Let's take it for a test run before the rest of the gang wake up, maybe, find a new island?"
You jump awake, Winter already glancing around to the front of the building. "What do you see Winter?" You whisper; you pull up your mask and hood, only your eyes visible in the morning dawn.
Around the corner you notice a black dragon and a boy wearing a mask, beneath it all you can notice is his brown eyes.
That dragon… You gasp. A Night Fury.
You mount Winter and take off, trailing the boy on the Night Fury through the morning sky. Thankfully, Winter blends in with the clouds so the boy doesn't notice you when he turns around.
Suddenly another dragon appears next to the boy, you recognized this dragon, the rider Valka.
Shoot. You signal Winter and she swoops in lower to hear what they're talking about.
"Hiccup, have you seen a girl fly by in the night? Oh Thor, I should have left a Night Terror to guard her."
You nearly fall off Winter when you hear the name, Hiccup? This was the boy that you loved hearing stories about, Valka's son.
"No I haven't, have you bud?" The Night Fury shakes it's head in mid flight. "No we haven't Mom."
"She's very important, we need to find her. I'm heading to Berk, she might have stopped at your island." Valka says with a serious tone, "She was riding a white Night Fury Hiccup."
"A Night Fury?" Hiccup says in awe, "Did you hear that bud? Another Night Fury."
"Please check, if she gets caught by any of the Dragon Hunters, the whole dragon race will be in trouble." Valka says before departing off into the horizon.
"We better go back bud, sounds like someone important." Hiccup turns his Night Fury around and you follow discreetly behind him on Winter.
Dragon Hunters… You shiver, "I won't let them catch you." Winter purrs gently, soft laughter vibrating from her mouth.
"Hiccup!" From afar, you notice a girl with bright blonde hair, in comparison your (h/c) hair is dry and dull. Is that Hiccup's girlfriend?
"Astrid, did you see a girl with a white Night Fury on the island?" Hiccup sighs as he dismounts his dragon.
Astrid squints into the distance, "do you mean the girl that's been following you the whole time?" Astrid points at you.
How did she spot me! You were hidden perfectly in the clouds, there was no way she could have seen you.
You have no choice but to land on the island, the two stare in awe at your dragon, and you.
Your (h/c) hair is tied up in a ponytail, your (e/c) eyes shine oddly in the sun. Adding onto that, the other's probably had never seen another Night Fury besides their own.
You dismount Winter, she huffs hot hair at the other Night Fury and they begin sniffing each other.
"You, who are you?" Astrid shoots you a glare, keeping Hiccup close to her.
"My name's (y/n), I come from the cave of the dragons, where Valka lives."
"My mother…" Hiccup mumbles, he lifts off his mask revealing his face.
You're completelybblown away. The memories from the stories fade in with his face, Hiccup's.
"My mother was looking for you, why did you leave the cave? In fact, why do you live in the cave?" Hiccup questions curiously. "Anyway, you have to head back. My mother said that you were important. If there's anything I need to know, you can tell me at the cave."
No. This wasn't right. You didn't leave the cave to be hurried back in like this. Like a sheep that had left it's pen and had to be placed back, trapped.
You glance at Winter, her red eyes turn into slits with anger, as though she was channelling your rage.
"Yeah, it's not safe here (y/n), the Dragon Hunters have been planning an ambush here for ages. Hiccup and I will take you back."
"No, no!" You cry, your freedom slowly drifting away from you. You leap onto Winter as she lifts you into the sky at top speed. You wrap your arms around Winter's neck, tears falling down from your eyes like rivers.
Winter takes you back to the cave without you steering her.
You run through the entrance and collide into Alpha's face. Winter follows solemnly behind you.
"Oh Alpha…" You sob into his scales, his eyes cross so he can see you in the middle.
(Y/n), don't cry now. You're affecting all the dragons.
You wish you could stop crying, but the tears don't stop. It was like crying for no reason but, you had to let it out.
(Y/n), please stop.
The Alpha huffs gently, letting out the warmest air he could possibly produce.
(Y/n), someone's coming.
You look up from Alpha's face and there he was, Hiccup. Tears stream down faster now that Hiccup is staring at you. All of a sudden, all the dragons that had been resting in their caves suddenly leap down, creating a wall between you and Hiccup.
"(Y/n)..." Hiccup mumbles in shock, he had never seen the dragons act this way before. Not for a human. The dragons' eyes are lit with anger, all of them ready to attack Hiccup.
You could see through your teary eyes, past their angered eyes, they knew Hiccup. They knew who he was and they didn't want to attack him.
The dragons… For one, you also had never seen them act this way, only once under the Alpha. Secondly, why were they doing this? For what reason would they throw aside emotion to attack Hiccup?
Your tears stop flowing, shock had numbed your nerves and now everything became a little more clear.
You walk slowly through the crowd of dragons, Hiccup gives a relieved look when the dragon's eyes turn back to normal.
"(Y/n), just who are you?" The same words that had made your heart shatter earlier suddenly sounded so soft and loving.
"I don't know Hiccup, I don't know anything." You mumble softly- your heart races, you didn't know a thing about Hiccup, only the stories Valka had told you, but there was something about him that was different, something that sent your heart aflutter.
"Hey… it's okay (y/n), I'm just a little shocked is all." Hiccup smiles warmly, "I mean, it's not everyday you see the dragon's nest act this way."
His warm smile makes you feel at home, you felt warmth you couldn't describe, in fact, you barely even notice Valka and her dragon appear from the entrance of the cave.
"(Y/n)!"
A/n: wow /.\ sorry the chapters are kind of short, thing's are going to get a lot more interesting now that Hiccup is in the picture. I know you guys must be pretty confused about your odd powers but it will all add up later okay?
