~3rd person P.O.V.~
Hiccup hadn't even noticed that Hope was no longer behind him. He was talking away, explaining Berk to her, when only Toothless could hear him. He saw the other Viking teens, and ran over to them.
"Hey, guys. Have you met Hope yet?" He asked, unknowingly gesturing to empty air behind him.
"There's nothing there except for Toothless." Snotlout said.
"What are you-" he turned around to see Hope and the other Night Fury were no longer there. "Where'd she go?!" He asked, alarmed. The other teens snickered laughs.
"Maybe she ran off to find a better guy." Snotlout said. Hiccup ran off, muttering about having to find her before she got hurt.
Hope had no idea where she was going, and neither did Straight Shot. Both Night Fury and teenaged girl were hopelessly wondering around Berk until they came into view of something familiar to Hope. The Great Hall. Hoping that Hiccup and Toothless were inside, Hope ran up the stairs and opened one of the sixty foot doors. She peered inside, and all the Vikings who were inside looked at her oddly. She awkwardly closed the door and sat on the top step with Straight Shot.
"Let's face it, girl. We're lost, and neither one of us is any good at navigating around this place. If we were in Deer Field, I'd get us somewhere without even trying. Here? I'm useless." Hope said to the female Fury. The two sat there for a while before some new Vikings started coming inside, so Hope guessed it was time for lunch. A while after that, the Vikings stopped coming and most had left. Hope was getting really bored, and was starting to wish she'd gone ahead with her plan of sneaking a couple of books on left-handed people in her backpack. She'd would've at least had something to do if she had. She absent-mindedly fiddled with her long black hair when she heard the sound of some dragons, and looked up to see the Berkian teens. They didn't seem to notice her, and she was happy for that. She didn't like the process of making friends, because she was always so flustered around people, but it was nice to have friends to be there for her. The teens went inside, and Hope just stayed sitting on the top step of the Great Hall and waited. About ten minutes later, Hiccup finally got to the Great Hall. Hope looked up at him.
"Took you long enough." She joked. Hiccup jumped, and Toothless caught him.
"How long were you sitting there?!" He asked, still a bit surprised.
"A few hours. Why?"
"I've been looking for you for the past few hours. I thought you got hurt!"
"Well, I'm perfectly fine. Thanks for worrying about me, though. Not many people do."
"Okay, well, now that the whole situation is over, do you wanna come inside and get something to eat?" Hiccup asked Hope. She nodded.
"Sure." She replied. Hope, Hiccup, Toothless and Straight Shot went inside the hall and Hiccup and Hope each got themselves a plate of meat. Hiccup went over and sat down with the other teens, and Hope shyly followed, trying to avoid being noticed. The others greeted Hiccup.
"Hey Hiccup." Astrid said.
"Hi guys." Hiccup replied, sitting down. Hope sat next to him.
"Who is this lovely lady?" Snotlout asked, being the first to notice Hope. Hope tried to speak, but only chocked out a few scared noises.
"Snotlout, I think you're scaring her with your awesomeness." Tuffnut said sarcastically.
"This has nothing to do with Snotlout. Hope here is just shy around people." Hiccup explained. Hope nodded.
"I-I've a-always been l-like that." Hope silently stuttered, only Hiccup hearing her.
"What did she say?" Fishlegs asked.
"She said she's always been like that. Shy." Hiccup clarified. The teens talked while they ate, but Hope only picked at her meat. She also found herself staring a bit at Hiccup, but each time she would brush away her feelings. Finally, the teens were done eating. The teens noticed how Hope's plate had barely been touch.
"Not very hungry?" Hiccup asked her. Hope shook her head.
"That, and meat isn't my favourite." She admitted. Hiccup nodded. When they got outside the Great Hall, Toothless and Straight Shot were waiting for them. The teens went to their homes, Hiccup leading Hope to his home. Astrid could have sworn she'd seen a bit of a blush on both Hiccup's and Hope's cheeks, but brushed it off. Hiccup liked her, and Hope couldn't change how a person felt, could she?
AN: Okay, it took a while, but I finally got it up. I'm also working on the next chapter. Okay, so in this chapter, you guy got a hint to where Hope is from. It's the second hint you're getting. The hint, if you missed it, was Deer Field. The first hint was in the first chapter, and that hit was Camp Peniel. So, yeah. If you guys have any guesses to where she's from, post it in a review or PM it to me and I'll tell you if you're right. Enjoy your lives!
