Chapter 2: The Night Fury

Well, I decided on myself about the Dragon...

Fem!Toothless

Don't like? DON'T READ!


The next morning, me and Hiccup went out for a walk in the forest, looking for the dragon my older twin sister Astrid had shot down.

Hiccup was carrying his notebook, a pencil and a small dagger.

"It has to be near Raven's Cove." I said.

"I know, let's go!" Hiccup said.

We were nearing Raven's Cove as we spotted saw broken trees.

"Yup, that dragon crashed here." I observed.

"C'mon! We need to free it before Astrid comes here." Hiccup said and went down the cove, seeing the black scaled Night Fury, the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself.

He took out his dagger and cut the ropes, freeing the dragon's large black devil wings first.

"Be careful!" I called to him.

When Hiccup cut the last rope, the Night Fury pinned him suddenly down to the ground, making him breathing faster.

He heard my worried screams.

Hiccup looked straight into the Night Fury's poisonous green eyes.

The dragon was really close to Hiccup's face right now.

I couldn't look, so I turned my eyes away from the scenes.

I heard the dragon roar out loud and that it flew away.

I looked back, afraid that Hiccup was death and that I had to tell the Chief that his son had been killed by a Night Fury.

But Hiccup wasn't death.

He still sat there against the rock with the dagger in his hands.

Hiccup was still hyperventilating from what just had happened.

"You're okay?" I asked, slowly going into the cove.

"NO! Asthera!" Hiccup called. "Behind you!"

I stopped and looked behind me, seeing the Night Fury.

I screamed, crossing my arms before my face in reflex.

I waited for it to attack me, pin me to the ground or something.

But the dragon did nothing at all.

I looked through my arms, seeing the dragon wasn't there anymore.

I turned back to Hiccup, he was still catching his breath.

"Let's get out of here!" I said and grabbed Hiccup's arm, leaving the cove.

"Have you seen it?" Hiccup asked.

"Seen what?" I asked, not knowing where he was talking about.

"The dragon, it lost a tailfin." Hiccup replied.

I stopped walking.

"Are you meaning that one thing Gobber Always tells us?" I asked. "A downed dragon is a death dragon?"

"Exactly." Hiccup said.

"So it will however die?" I asked. "That is horrible!"

"I know. And I will think of something to fix that." Hiccup said.

"You want to help that dragon? Don't you realize it's dangerous and completely crazy? Your father can disown you if he finds out." I warned him.

"As if I don't know that. I know it's Astrid's fault he can't fly again. But we need to be sure Astrid doesn't find him, or her." Hiccup told.

"We really need to keep an eye on her then. Let's meet tomorrow morning at the cove, I want to see where you're up too." I said.

"That's alright." Hiccup answered.

Near the village, we seperated our routes, taking shortcuts to our homes.


The next morning, I woke up early.

To be sure I didn't wake Astrid or my uncle, I sneaked downstairs and didn't close the door too hard.

I walked through the village, seeing how peaceful it was when the sun started to come up.

'Yup, this view is perfect.' I thought as I watched out over the peaceful sea.

"Hey Asthera!" Hiccup called, waking me from my day dream. "Are you still coming!"

"Hey! I can't help it I'm still sleepy!" I called.

I saw Hiccup standing there, with a fish in his hands.

"Why that fish?" I asked.

"I found out that dragons like fish, so if we feed it, it might like us." Hiccup replied.

I raised my eyebrow. "Okay, I don't think I would have come with that idea."

It made Hiccup smile.

We walked into the forest, reaching Raven's Cove once the sun was really up.

After we found some rocks to hide us if the dragon would try to attack us, we went into the Cove, not seeing the Night Fury yet.

Then we heard an almost silent roar behind us.

I looked over my shoulder slowly, seeing the Night Fury coming up to us low to the ground.

"Just stand still." Hiccup said.

I nodded, not moving a finger.

Hiccup streched out his arms, offering the Night Fury the fish he was holding.

The Night Fury came closer slowly.

I watched how the dragon stepped closer towards Hiccup.

It opened it's mouth.

But it didn't have teeth.

"Toothless? Weird, I swore you had..." Hiccup said, but he couldn't finish his sentence.

The Night Fury showed it's teeth and grabbed the fish from Hiccup's hand, happily not biting him in the process.

"...teeth." Hiccup finished, holding his hands on his right side.

"Hiccup... I think we should go..." I warned him.

But the Night Fury clearly had other plans.

It came closer to us again.

I stepped back quickly, but I ended up with my back against a rock.

"Oops..." I said to myself.

The Dragon came closer to me.

I fell with my buttom on the grass.

I looked into it's eyes, seeing a normal green colour instead of that poisonous green colour I saw yesterday.

"Hold him there..." I heard Hiccup say.

"Hiccup! This is not the time to draw things!" I called. "This is serious."

The Night Fury sniffed on my clothes.

The narrowed black pupils of the big black dragon suddenly widened.

It sat back on it's but, licking it's lips.

The dragon gorgled up something.

A slimy tailfin of a fish came out of it's mouth and dropped it on my lap.

"Yuk..." I said, looking up to the Night Fury.

"Guess it wants you to eat it!" Hiccup called.

"You think I'm going to take a bite from a raw fish? No way!" I called back.

"Just do it!" Hiccup called.

I rolled my eyes and took the fish from my lap.

I brought it to my mouth, closing my eyes and thinking about how disgusting this was.

I took the bite, and I swallowed it.

Actually, raw fish didn't taste that disguesting.

I looked at the fish and back at the dragon.

I streched my arms out to give it to the Night Fury, and it gently took it from my hands with it's recitable teeth.

I stood up and tried to walk over to Hiccup, but the Night Fury tackled me with it's tail.

I protected my body with my hands.

"Ay!" I called, looking angrily at the dragon.

I stood up again.

But the grass suddenly felt slippery and I almost fell again, but the dragon stopped me from falling.

"Huh?" I looked into the wided black pupils of the Night Fury.

It almost felt like he had kind eyes.

As I stood on my feet, I looked to the grass, seeing it had turned into ice.

"What the hell happened?!" I asked myself, looking at my hands, seeing I had lost my right glove.

Hiccup was also staring at me.

I touched a small stone with my right handpalm.

The stone turned into ice.

"This has never happened before..." I murmered.

"Yeah, you can say this is completely normal." Hiccup sarcasticly said.

"Oh shut up!" I called. "Why is everything I'm touching turning into ice?"

"How am I supposed to know? Maybe because we met a 'doomed' dragon?" Hiccup replied.

"I know that's not it." I said.

"Then I have no idea." Hiccup said and fell back on the grass.

But the grass catched fire.

"Aaaah!" Hiccup called and jumped on his feet.

I sended an ice blast to the small fire, quenching it.

"Okay." Hiccup said and looked at his hands.

"Well, at the moment we're no ordinary kids anymore." I said, looking for my iron glove.

I found it back on the stone.

I put it on.

The dragon had watched us from exactly the same spot as where it was.

"You'd think it's a boy or a girl?" I asked.

"Me?" Hiccup asked. "Hum, uh, a girl?"

"I'll test it." I replied and walked around the dragon, looking at it.

"And?" Hiccup asked, also slowly standing up.

"Yup, you were right. It's obviously a girl." I replied.

"Finally, I am right for once in my life!" Hiccup happily said.

I looked at the Dragon Night Fury female, seeing the once narrowed black pupils in the cat-like poisonous green eyes wided, now perfectly round.

"Would you like a name girl?" I asked the Dragon, touching her chin with the palms of her hand.

The Night Fury roared softly.

"I take that as a yes." I said.

"Do you know an original girl name?" Hiccup asked.

"I've been thinking…. do you like the name Dahlia?" I asked.

"It's pretty original if you compare it to normal Viking names." Hiccup replied.

"It's the name of a flower I found in the library books 4 days ago." I told.

"It's a good name for a Dragon female." Hiccup said.

"Dahlia it's then." I told the Night Fury.

The Night Fury roared.

"I guess she wants you to come closer." I said.

Hiccup nervously moved closer to Dalia.

Dahlia was extremely curious, sniffing on his clothes once he stood right in front of her.

"Uhm… what's I doing?" Hiccup asked.

"Just some sniffing." I replied.

Dahlia purred and pushed her head against Hiccup's waist.

"Good girl." Hiccup said and touched the Night Fury's head.

"I knew she liked you too." I said and put my hands on my hips.

"Play the Ms-Know-It-All." Hiccup said to I and looked back at Dahlia.

She kept purring while Hiccup was petting her.

The image made me smile.

"We should go back soon. Everyone will wonder where we are." I said.

"I know." Hiccup said. "You'll go now, I come later."

I nodded and walked away, wondering what he was up to.

On my way back to the village, I thought some more about the Night Fury me and Hiccup just found in Raven's Cove.

Why hadn't she killed us? Did she know that we weren't out to kill her? Those questions were stuck in my head and I knew they would stay unanswered unless Dahlia could suddenly talk.

I arrived home at dawn.

Our house is one of the older buildings in this village and it's close to the Meade Hall and the Chieftain's house.

Our family calls our house Hofferson Maison, I have no clue why they call it like that, but it's one of the bigger houses in Berk which is probably the reason.

We live with 3 family members in that one house: me, my sister Astrid and our uncle Fearless Finn, who's one of the bravest warriors in the village and a real rough Viking, he follows our Chief Stoick everywhere, it's like he's….uhm….. a gay?

Anyways, Astrid is much like him: she has the same warrior ability, the same taste of superiorness and they're both Alphas above me.

If we were a wolf clan, everyone would be an Alpha, except for me Hiccup.

Me and Hiccup are strange beings in our village, only because we're smaller, smarter and weaker.

I entered the house and I saw my sister and uncle.

"Hey! What's up?" I asked as normal as possible.

Uncle Finn stood up from his chair.

"Tomorrow I'll leave for Helheim's Gate with Chief Stoick and the other warrior Vikings. All teens have to stay behind in the village to protect it during a possible new Dragon raid." he said. "I'm putting both of you into Dragon Training, that means you too Asthera."

I groaned. "But I don't want to kill Dragons!"

"You've got nothing to want! You're a Hofferson and you should behave like that! Try to be more like your sister, she's perfectly capable of doing Viking stuff and you're not. Only after you killed a Dragon, I can call you a Hofferson." uncle Finn barked back at me.

I didn't back down, that would only support his yelling.

"You shouldn't spend your entire day with that useless son of Stoick, go hang around with that Jorgenson guy, he'd be a better candidate for a future marriage." uncle Finn said.

I shaked my head. "Uncle Finn, how many times did I tell you that Hiccup is not my boyfriend. He's just my best friend."

"That's the same." uncle Finn said.

"No it's not. A best friend is someone you TRUST for life, a boyfriend is a boy who you're actually in love with, it's completely different." I told.

"Dragon Training will change your mind." uncle Finn said.

I know Dragon Training won't work, it'll only remind me of how Dragons really are deep inside them and not how the other Vikings see them. Uncle Finn was wrong, he always was, cause I believe there could be harmony between humans and Dragons.

Me and Hiccup have to change this world for good.


This is my first reupdate, hope it's better.
