StardustXIV: I LOVE HTTYD TOO! I saw it the day it came out and then the day after that and bought the double dvd pack the MORNING it came out!
I do not own How to Train Your Dragon, only Ayden and Ash.
Ayden's POV
I managed to get away from Gobber once I was inside my house. I was so glad he didn't come inside with me. I held my sketchbook, which showed a map of Raven Point, in my hand while walking around the area where I saw the Night Fury go down. I had tons of X marks on locations where I hadn't found the dragon. I came up to another potential spot and held my breath. I closed my eyes, hoping to have found it. Once I opened them, I sighed.
No dragon.
I put another X and then angrily scribbled over the map. I put the pen in my book and put in it my jacket. This was crazy! I must have looked all over the entire forest!
"Oh the Gods hate me." I said to myself. "Some people lost their knife or their mug. Not me. I manage to lose an entire dragon!" I smacked a branch, but it swung back and hit me right over my eye. My hand flew up to my head and I felt something wet. I looked at my hand and saw a small droplet of blood.
Great…now dad would go ballistic over this. He always went crazy over any little injury.
I looked at the branch, angry at it. But then, I noticed that the tree was split down the trunk…like something crashed into it. My eyes followed the trail left in the dirt. No...could it really be that easy? I slowly slid down the trail and climbed up the little hill. I saw something big and black with wings and instantly took cover behind the hill. I slowly poked my head up and saw that it was the Night Fury and wasn't moving. It was still wrapped securely in the bolas. With shaky hands, I quickly reached in for the knife in my jacket that dad always made me carry.
I took a deep breath and climbed over the hill, hiding behind a big rock for a moment. Ok, just relax. I can do this…It's just a dragon...a dragon that can breathe fire and maul me.
I peeked out from behind the rock and saw that it wasn't moving. I stepped out and slowly made my way to i. "Whoa, I did it! This fixes everything! Yes! I have brought down this mighty beast!" I put my foot on the side of the dragon to make a victorious pose when it suddenly moved and let out a growl. I cried out and fell back against the rock, holding the knife out in front of me.
I held the dagger shakily in my arms as I walked up to the dragon. I crept up to the dragon and saw it look at me with its beautiful green eyes. They were green just like mine…wait, what was I thinking?
Back to reality. I took a deep breath. "I'm gonna kill you dragon." I said, only half believing myself. "I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I am a Viking. I am a Viking!" I shouted to the dragon.
He made another sound, but I ignored it. He looked at me again with those big green eyes. I shut my eyes and raised the knife above my head. I opened my eyes and saw him widen his eyes at me. He wasn't trying to escape...he didn't even struggle against the ropes that tied. He looked so scared.
But what did I care? His kind killed my mother! If I killed him my father would finally stop treating me like a fragile baby! I would stop being teased and made fun of! I'd be a real Viking!
I shut my eyes again, trying to burn the image of the dragon looking at me. I raised the knife higher and heard the dragon give in and lay his head on the ground. He wasn't even resisting...I held the knife up forever trying to find the courage to kill the monster. But his eyes…there was something about his eyes that made me hesitate.
I rest my arms on my head and let out an angry, defeated sigh. I couldn't do it. He was helpless and I had my chance, but I couldn't do it. I stepped back and took in the damage I had done to this creature. All because I was trying to be something I'm not. I knew what I had to do. I walked up to the dragon and began slicing through the ropes that restrained him. The dragon's eyes instantly shot open when he heard the sound of the ropes being cut.
"Don't worry, little guy." I said, reassuring him. Once the ropes were cut, the dragon lunged at me. He pushed me against the rock, his claws right at my throat. I felt the tears form in my eyes as I let out short breaths. I struggled under his claw, but he was far too strong for someone scrawny like me. I looked into his eyes as he stared back.
He raised his head. Oh God, he was going to kill me... I shut my eyes waiting for the fire to burn my flesh. All of a sudden, he let out a frightening roar as he moved his claw off my neck. Right away, he jumped off my and flew off into the forest. I could hear him roar a few more times as I saw his shadow disappear.
I sat up, my heart racing from what just happened. I wiped away my tears and slowly stood up, trying to regain my composure. I picked up my knife and started back to the village.
In less than three steps I felt all my energy leave my body as my knees went weak. I fell to the ground as darkness surrounded me.
I tried to go into more detail on her feelings while holding the knife before killing Toothless, so I hope that's good enough for you. First AydenxAsh scene next chapter!
Thanks for all the support!
