So this is my next chapter, and I hope you enjoy!
Hiccup's POV
It is around midnight I suppose. Toothless must've woken me up. Oh boy.
"What is it this time buddy?" I ask before I yawn. Toothless uses the signal for flying. "Are you crazy? I can't even see!" I complain. But he doesn't give up. Eventually I give in to his pleads. I saddle him up and let him lead me to whatever is so important. We land in a dense part of the forest. Toothless sniffs the ground and picks up a scent. By this time I'm wide awake.
"What is it boy?" I ask in a whisper. Suddenly, he stops. We duck, ready to pounce at whatever lies before the bush in front of us. 3…2…1… Then we jump and pounce and hear a scream. I look and see we landed on a girl. She wears sparkling clothing. Her hair is a shocking white that falls to her neck. Her eyes are yellow. And she is glowing… literally. As we are studying her frightened features, I see something. Two pink eyes narrowed too slits, looking straight at me. "Toothless, bud, we have to get-," Too late. She leaps onto Toothless and knocks him off the girl. What I see shocks me. This is a nightfury. A white nightfury.
"Whoa! Down, Ava, down. It's okay. They aren't going to hurt us," the girl said. Now they stare at each other for at least five minutes. Their facial expressions look like they are having an argument. Finally they break the silence. "I'm Astrovia. This is Avalanche," she gestures to the dragon. "We just want to know if the island is safe."
"I'm Hiccup and this is Toothless. I trained dragons a long time ago, so of course it's safe here," I say. Then I hesitate. "Why are you glowing?" She turns away from me. "It's complicated. Can we sleep in your village tonight?" she answers quietly. "Of course. Just follow us," I reply. I hop onto Toothless and fly into the night. Astrovia and Avalanche are close behind.
We finally make it to the village. I show her that the armory is where she will have to stay the night. "This is perfect. I just need to go to bed. We've been flying all night," she whispers. Avalanche blows red fire around to make her bed. Astrovia gets an old pillow and blanket. "Goodnight," she whispers. "Goodnight, Astrovia," I whisper back. In the morning I'll have to tell my friends about this. Toothless looks exhausted. "C'mon buddy. Let's get some rest," I tell him. Then we drift into sleep. The girl is probably harmless, I think, but I'm probably wrong…
So? How do you like first person present tense? Seriously, it makes my day when you guys post reviews. This is what I draw inspiration from! I love you guys…
