Chapter 3:
[Aurora Point of View]
Toothless and his human, who I later found out was named Hiccup, left after I had finished eating my dinner. Toothless promised they would be back tomorrow with more food.
I had fallen asleep a few minutes after they left, although I wish I hadn't. Not long after I fell asleep, I dreamed of my family, and that horrible night.
Flashback::
I laughed as my brother, Midnight, and I flew through the air, the clouds inches from our wings. We had made a tradition of flying up here for hours on end almost every night. We would spin and dive, just enjoy the freedom of being above and beyond the clouds.
"I think we should head back," Midnight thought. I nodded in agreement.
"Okay," I thought back. "Race ya!"
And with that, I dove in to the clouds, smiling even bigger with every inch of space I put between us.
"Oh no you don't!" I heard Midnight say. I laughed and pushed myself harder. I narrowed my eyes as I broke through the clouds. I looked around at the thunderstorm that had built up while we were flying. After a moment, I looked up at the clouds.
Midnight should've been out by now, I thought to myself. No sooner than I had thought the thought, an ear splitting shriek broke the silence of the night.
A sound so horrid, it sounded as if it was scraping on the inside of your ears, shredding your humanity with every resonating second.
The noise stopped and Midnight burst through the clouds, a horrified expression on his face.
"Aurora, FLY!" he told me. He zoomed past me.
"From what?" I asked him as he dove further and further down.
"That!"
I looked up to see the scariest creature I'd ever seen. A dragon that was navy blue, purple flame quivering as it burned on the dragon's spine ridge and tail tip. The dragon's entire wing span was nothing but purple fire, flickering and hot. I looked for eyes on the dragon, but found none. The creature did have a mouth though and as soon as it opened it, the same wretched sound from earlier broke through my thoughts and startled me enough to get me flying in the direction Midnight had gone.
I flew faster than I ever remembered flying, the sound of the dragon's wing beats keeping me going. I followed the way Midnight had gone and soon saw him. I pushed myself even harder to catch up with him.
"Midnight, what are we gonna do?" I thought to him as I came up beside him.
"Try to lose him, then go to the cave, warn mom and dad." I nodded and turned right, Midnight turning left. I looked back long enough to see the creature take off in Midnight's direction.
"Midnight!" I called, changing direction and going his way. I came up behind the creature, Midnight looking back at me.
"Go!" He thought. "Warn mom and dad!"
I didn't have time to respond before the dragon opened its mouth and shot out a purple flame so hot, I felt the heat rolling off as I flew behind the dragon. Midnight screamed as the fire caught him and he plummeted to the ground.
"NO!!" I screamed as my brother fell farther and farther down. I couldn't watch as he hit the ground, the purple flame coating his body. I felt the tears sting in my eyes but they didn't have time to fall before the dragon turned its attention towards me. It let out another screech and I darted through the trees bellow us in an attempt to shake him off.
But even with the dragon's size, he still managed to twist and turn through the trees, keeping a good closeness to me.
I saw the cave in which my family stayed.
"Mom, Dad! You have to leave NOW!" I screamed to them.
"Why?" My mother thought back, taken back from my tone.
"Just listen to me, GO!"
But mom wouldn't listen to me even this once and she stuck her head out of the cave. Her eyes got wide as she took in the monster trailing behind me.
"GO!" I told her a second time, but instead she retreated to the back of the cave. I landed on the ledge and ran inside.
"We have to leave!" I told my parents as they sat in the back of our home. But no sooner than I said the words, a shadow fell over us and I knew without turning around that he was here. I turned to look at the dragon. It opened its mouth to breathe fire but I took my own flame and shot it into his mouth. Thankfully, Furies never miss.
The dragon shook his head and I shot him again, followed by more and more shots. I soon had him backed out enough so that we could get out.
"Mom, dad, go while I have him distra—" But I couldn't finish my thought because the dragon whipped his tail around and knocked me into the wall. My vision became blurry but I could still see the dragon walk back to where my parents were and my vision lit up purple. I heard screams of pain as I faded out of consciousness.
"No," I thought as it went dark.
I woke up to the smell of fire burning on something. I knew what was burning and my tears rolled down my cheeks. I looked up to see the dragon sitting doggy style, his wings of fire now the same leathery blue as his body. I backed up to the wall, scared for my life. The dragon laughed and I never want to hear anything like it again. I'd rather here nothing but his screech before I heard that laugh again.
It was evil, sickening… proud. Then the dragon spoke, his voice sending shivers through my body even as I dreamed.
"Fear not little one. I will not hurt you."
"But my family! You killed them! ALL OF THEM!" I screamed at him, tears continuing to run down my cheeks.
"They were simply in the way. I needed you alone."
"Then why couldn't you wait til I was alone?! Not slaughter everyone I love!" I yelled, my tears being replaced with anger.
"Where's the fun in that?"
How sickening. I was ready to fly off but he seemed to read even my deepest thought pattern.
"Ah, now don't run away sweetie. I need you for something."
"What could you want me for?" I spat at him.
"I would like you to be my mate. Your fire, it is that of a Fury with a sacred power."
I stared at the dragon as if he'd sprouted four heads.
"I would never." I spat at the ground in front of him. I didn't even know what 'sacred power' he was speaking of.
"In that case…" And right on cue a Deadly Nadder police dragon came flying up to the cave.
"What seems to be the prob--- Oh My Word!" The police dragon said as he stared into our cave. I knew what he saw. And I hadn't even seen it for myself yet.
"This young dragon was caught in the act sir." The dragon told him. What the heck?! It was my own family he had slaughtered and he was blaming it on me?
The police dragon stared at me.
"Get her." He thought to his comrade. Every dragon knew the phrase 'get her' meant 'kill her'. I didn't even plead my case before I took off into the sky, thankful that as a Night Fury I was faster than any other dragon.
I darted until there was no way the police dragon was still following me. I cried as I flew, my tears trailing behind me. A lightning bolt struck and the sky lit up.
"You will be mine." The dragon called to me from somewhere far away. Then he laughed and it echoed through my head as I landed and laid down on the ground, crying harder than I ever had.
Flashback End::
I jumped awake and felt that my cheek was slightly wet. I wiped the side of my face and realized there was a fire burning in front of me. I perked up and stood, looking over the fire.
Low and Behold, there slept Toothless, curled up into a ball almost. I sat down and bit on the edge of my claw. I decided and walked over to where he was. I laid down so that our backs touched. I was scared, and I was so thankful he was there. If he woke up before I did, I could try to explain to him, but for now, I just wanted to go to sleep.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I don't know if it was being close to Toothless or that I was so desperate for sleep, but the dreams didn't return.
[Toothless Point of View]
I woke up and opened one eye as Aurora laid down beside of me. I smiled to myself as she settled into where she was and fell asleep. I closed my eye and went back to sleep.
There was chapter 3. I tried to do a good description of Aurora's dream/flashback, but tell me what you thought. Chapter 4 should be up before the end of the week. R&R
