As much as I love the reviews I'm getting, I would like some more...please?
Kenna ran back to her village, cautiously carrying the sleeping boy.
"Bjorg!" she cried to the village. "Bjorg, I need your help!"
A middle aged man with graying hair ran up to Kenna, his green eyes scanning the boy she was holding.
"He needs help, Bjorg!" Kenna pleaded to the man.
"Aye, I can see that, lass." he replied as he scooped up the boy. "Looks like he went and fought a dragon."
Kenna froze. "Dragon?" She remembered the dragon holding the boy.
"Aye. See the bite marks?" he gestured to the gruesome excuse of a leg.
Kenna shuddered. Should she trust the dragon?
"Is he going to be all right?" Kenna asked.
"Well, I'd say he'd be almost good as new soon, although he'll obviously be needing a new leg." Bjorg supplied. "Here're the measurements for the new leg he'll be needin'." he handed Kenna some paper.
"Good. I'll go talk to Brandr." she ran off to the village's forge.
When she got there, she noticed the building was missing the young man who worked there. "Brandr?" she asked. "Brandr, I need you."
"It's about time ya realized that, Kenna." the blond replied from right behind her. "So what time works for you?" he mocked.
Kenna whirled around and slapped his arm. "Not like that! I need a new leg."
"Looks as if you've got a mighty fine pair right there!" he gestured to her legs. "Whadd'ya need a third one for, miss?"
"Not me!" she laughed. "I found a boy~"
"Is that competition, I hear?"
"Shut up!" she slapped him again. "You know full well I don't intend on getting married. Anyway, he's been injured, he needs a new leg."
Brandr moved from rubbing his sore arm to the back of his neck. "How big?"
"Thanks a bunch!" Kenna exclaimed as she handed Brandr the paper and bounded out of the building.
"Freak." he joked as he studied the measurements.
She was crazy.
She was beyond crazy, she was mad!
For all she knew, this very dragon bit off the poor boy's leg! What was she doing wandering over to the black beast she was pretty sure was a Night Fury.
Kenna clutched the slimy fish to her chest as one would a teddy bear. "Hello?" she whispered into the night.
A black form suddenly jumped right in front of her, causing her to fall backwards and hitting her head on a rock.
"Ow! Ah, um...here!" Kenna threw the fish at the beast, but he simply ignored it and prodded her throbbing head, before giving it a soft lick.
He's tasting me!
"Ah! No no, don't do that! I'm fine..." the dragon gazed at her pleadingly.
"The boy?" The dragon nodded.
"Uh, he's fine! They're patching him up, making him a lovely leg, uh, should be waking up soon! So uh...HEY!"
The dragon seemed to push into her, crushing her into what she could describe as...
...a hug?
"Uh, yeah! He's going to be all right. Eat the fish, please." she pleaded.
The dragon pulled away and did as Kenna softly ordered, much to her amazement.
"This is not what I was expecting..." she muttered, and the dragon's ears perked up. He then turned around swiftly and faced her, the fish already long gone.
"Holy...um...Hi?" Kenna tried.
The dragon nodded his greeting.
"Ah. Well, my name's Kenna." she said with growing confidence.
The dragon tilted his head to the side and then nodded.
Kenna knew she was crazy at this point. "Yours...no wait, you can't have one~"
The Night Fury opened his mouth to reveal no teeth.
"No teeth? But I saw..." teeth suddenly appeared in his mouth, and the dragon pulled them back into the gums once again.
"Does...does this have something to do with your name?" Another nod.
"Uh, Retracty?"
The dragon stuck his tongue out, causing Kenna to laugh.
"Aw, I liked that name." Was she really feeling...comfortable around this dragon now?
"Hmm. How 'bout Pearl? You know, Pearly Whites and...no?" she saw the dragon shake its head. He once again showed a toothless mouth.
"Oh! I got it! Toothless?"
The dragon seemed to smile and nod its head.
"Toothless! I get it now. Did the boy name you?" Another nod.
"Nice." she looked at the tired-looking dragon. "Well, I'm going to go check on the boy now..."
The dragon nodded and picked up a fallen trunk, and started dragging it along the shore.
Was it drawing?
Kenna shook her head and ran back to the village, her head full of wonder.
Hiccup bolted up from the bed, feeling an unimaginable pain in his leg, once again.
"Ah!" he jerked around. Bed? Room? Books? Where was he?
He looked about the cramped room, and pulled off the covers...to notice that his leg seemed to have turned into metal.
Hiccup stared at it, now in a major state of shock. He wanted to scream and pull his hair out. He wanted to cry in frustration. He had lost his leg.
He settled for some deep controlled breathing and looked around for anything that might tell him where he was. He couldn't be on Berk...not at the cave with Toothless...
"Toothless!" he yelled.
Just then a girl rushed in and covered his mouth. "Crazy freakin' loudmouth!" she scolded. She then took her hand off of his mouth and held it out to him. "Kenna." she stated.
"Uh...Hiccup?" he replied taking her hand.
"Ah, you must be from Berk. But then why the dragon...? I thought you were devoted to killing them." Kenna whispered.
"Uh, don't know...what you're talking about..." Hiccup stuttered.
"Well, you're up. We better get you back before the chief finds out we're keeping a Berkian or whatever here." she jerked her head around. "Like your leg?"
"Um, yeah. You make it?"
"Nah, Brandr did. Let's see if you can walk." she picked him up by the shoulders and set him lightly on the ground, and gently let him go. "How's that."
"Uh." Hiccup tested a few steps, but then stumbled and fell on the ground.
"Damn." Kenna said. "Lean on me, Berkians are not allowed anywhere near this island!" Kenna picked him back up and placed him against her shoulder. "I'm sure Toothless will take care of you."
"Toothless? How did you~?"
"SH! Let's go!"
Toothless paced back and forth. He hadn't seen Kenna in two days! How was Hiccup doing? When would he see Hiccup again?
"Toothless!" a familiar yell sounded.
Hiccup?
Toothless jerked his head up and spotted a wobbly Hiccup leaning against Kenna. He was grateful that he had found the young woman.
"Toothless." Kenna whispered. "You need to get him out of here." She then noticed that the dragon only had half of a tailfin.
"Aw, no!" she swore under her breath. She then noticed the boat a ways off shore.
"You came here on that?"
Toothless nodded, but Hiccup seemed to have been struck dumb. "You...what?"
Toothless crooned and licked Hiccup on the side of his face.
"Ew!"
"SHH!" Kenna demanded. "You know what? I think I've seen you before..." she whispered.
"Kenna!" a loud voice ricocheted through the forest, causing Kenna to freeze and shudder. "Where's the boy?"
Kenna moved once again. "No way! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" she silently yelled. "You're Stoick's son! Oh gods, I'm in so much trouble!" she started to pace back and forth.
"I know! I've got a friend on an island a few legions out from here! I'll get you guys off the island, if you'll take me there!" she supplied.
"Give me that blasted son of a bitch!" the chief screamed again. "Kenna, you worthless, insane, waste of flesh!"
"Okay." Hiccup agreed.
"Great!" she quickly hugged him. "Let's quickly get on that boat!"
Hiccup hopped on Toothless and reached out a hand for Kenna, who took it, and Toothless sprinted after the boat, placing the two humans inside, and pushing it out to sea once again.
"Kenna!" The chief appeared on the beach. "Devil's helper! Witch! Stupid little girl! Get back here!"
Kenna stuck her tongue out at him, and the chief yelled in outrage as he kept screaming profanities at the young woman.
"So, I guess he doesn't like you much." Hiccup joked.
"Nope. I was born something he called 'retarded.'" she replied. "My brain doesn't work right. I don't have any of the rights other women have."
"Wow. Sorry." Hiccup stated as Toothless nudged her. "How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
"Ah. I'm sixteen." he supplied. "Where do we find your friend?"
"Um...take a left. No, right, wait... Maybe you get there from the other side of the island? Away from the sun." she settled on. "Yeah, move away from the sun."
"During Morning or Evening?"
"Ah..." she hung her head. "I don't remember...do you know where the island of Cragnogh is?"
"Oh, yeah. Over there." Hiccup said, turning the somehow working wheel in the direction Kenna's destination was.
"Sweet. Thanks again." she said and sat down on the floor.
"Well, thanks for taking care of me." Hiccup replied as he attempted to walk over to Toothless, only to fall over on the ground, startling the dragon.
"Walking lesson number one." Kenna stated dryly. "No falling."
The teens then noticed an island. "Hey...isn't that Hutsch?" Fishlegs asked pointing to the island.
"Ah crap. I think it is." Tuffnut muttered.
"And what's with the guy screaming at the ocean?" Snotlout pondered.
"Probably some of our idiot traders came. You know how much these guys hate us."
"Traders...or Hiccup!" Astrid exclaimed. "He's yelling in that direction! He must have gone that way!"
"Well, it's the only thing we've got." Ruffnut said bitterly. "Let's go."
They turned their dragons to move where the screaming guy was yelling at, when the man suddenly turned on them.
"Hey! You good-for-nothing beast-slaves! What are you doing near my island! Crossbows, at the ready!"
"Move!" Snotlout screamed as a bolt whizzed past his ear, and all the dragons obeyed.
Missed him again...they need faster dragons, man. Thanks again for all of the reviews! I'd like a little more, though! Please? Oh, and it's not one of those OC stories. Kenna gets dropped off at her destination, and Toothless and Hiccup continue onward.
