Another Haddock Girl Chapter 6
"GO!"
And Berk was on their way around the mountain. The wind passed their bodys while flying high speed to the mountain. Snotlout was first with Hiccup and Fishlegs on his left side while the twins were just behind them with Astrid and Valka on their right side.
"We are so going to win this Hookfang." Snotlout said to Hookfang and his self. Hookfang tried to speed up even more when he heard his rider said that.
The mountain wasn't far away from them now.
When they was rounding the mountain Hiccup, Fishlegs and Snotlout stopped and became chockad. The twins, Astrid and Valka alomost flying right in them.
"What are you doing?" Tuffnut asked. He didn't see the fire that reviled another village. A village with big houses and a few people walking around between the houses.
They would never imagine that it would be another village on the other side of the mountain.
"Wow." Hiccup heard Fishlegs said. "Another village." Fishlegs whispered. Berk looked at the uknown village.
"Why didn't Eric tell us about this?" Hiccup said.
Why did they keep this village a secret? Were they enemies with this village? With a big mountain between them they probably would never see each other. If there isn't a tunnel inside the mountain so they can walk to village to village.
Berk just was frozen for a moment. Sitting on their dragons in the air and looking down. It felt like they were sitting there for hours until Fishlegs asked if they should check it out.
No one said anything until Hiccup said yes.
They flyed slowly over the village. They all looked down on the houses
The flames made the shadows dance in the night on the house walls. Berk flyed in silence. They didn't dare to say a word and nobody dared to land.
Hiccup looked everywhere his eyes could take him and in the corner of his eye he saw something. He quickly looked to a big house that was in the center of the village. He saw the shadow again like the one he was in the fog while they were o nthe boat. He didn't think twice of what he did next.
"Come on, bud." he said and he flyed down to land in front of the door of big house and he didn't hear Astrid calling his name or that Berk flyed after him and landed behind him a few seconds he landed.
Hiccup jumped off Toothless and looked around and was about to take a step forward when Astrid grabbed his arm and asked.
"What is it?"
"I thought I saw..." he couldn't believe it, he couldn't even believe that he was thinking it, he couldn't believe that he could saw it.
He shakes his head and said.
"Nothing, I saw nothing." He was about to go back to Toothless when the doors opened to the big house and people started to walk out from there.
Berk didn't say anything, they only heard the people whispering, but they couldn't really hear what they were saying. The dragons looked around. They felt something familiar about this palce. Not that they had been here before but the smell was familiar.
Berk recognize a few of the people that was standing in front of them.
Berk was standing still, not knowing what they would do.
Should they fly away? Or should they run away? Should they say something?
They were so confused.
The people started to split up when two persons walked threw.
They knew who ther were.
Eric and Jane.
Wait? Eric and Jane?! Hiccup thought. Now he was even more confused.
Eric saw that they were confused.
"Okay people, go back to your home and good night, we'll see each other tomorrow." Eric said in a high voice and looked at the people who now started to walk away from the scene.
"And Berk." he said and turned to Berk. "Will you please come inside so we can talk about this inside instead in the middle of the street?" Berk nodded and followed Eric and Jane inside with their dragons behind them.
They came in to a big room with a big table with chairs in the middle of the room, a big fire place on the left side of table and on the rihght side their was doors. In the right corner of the room their was a staircase that was a little rounded and it lead to a upper floor that was like a balcony around the whole room and on the walls up their was full with books. Between the bookshelfs their was either a window or a fire torche. On the wall infront of them was a big map.
"Sit down." Eric said and gestured to the chair that was around the table. Berk sat down while Eric and Jane stood up in front of the table. All Berks head was turned to them.
"I know this seems a little strange." "Their is a village on the other side of the mountain, so yes that seems strange." Snotlout interrupt Eric. Eric was silent for a while until he spoked up.
"Yes that seems very strange to you and we can explain." Eric and Jane looked at each other with worried looks.
Jane looked away from Eric and saw that the women, who looked so much like her mother, looked at her. Jane looked away but couldn't really look away. The same blue eyes, same hair color (just a little darker) and... No doubt that, that is her mother.
Valka had only her eyes on Jane, her daughter. She looked most in Janes eyes. The same eyes that haunted her in her dreams.
Valka wanted to run forward and hug her and never let her go again.
"This is the other part of Drigen." Eric interrupt Valka's thoughts.
"The other part?" Hiccup asked.
"Yes, the other part." Now it was Jane who spoke. "Here we have our dragons, but of course they can be on the other side as well, if they want to."
Berks eyes widned.
Dragons?
They have dragons?
"You... you have dragons here?" Hiccup stammed.
"Yes." Jane said with a smile. But the smile faded. "But we didn't want to tell you, well your friend Eret didn't want us to tell you about our dragons." Berk was silence. But Jane knew what they wanted to ask.
"He didn't want us to tell you because we have dragons you never thought you would never see, well you have seen it, but you only have one of them."
Silence.
Jane looked at Eric and he called his dragon.
"Shadow!"
Berk saw a dragon they never thought they would never see. Sure they have seen it but see another. They had never done that.
"That's... that's a..."
"A night fury." Eric said with a big smile on his lips.
A black night fury, black as the shadows, came in. Looked at Berk with its dark, dark blue eyes. It didn't have a saddle on its back and it did have its both tail fin.
"Berk, this is Shadow, my dragon and my best friend." Eric said and gestuerd to Shadow who now standed beside him.
Berk couldn't believe it. Their eyes was on Shadow, they didn't even saw Jane walked out from the room and came back with a plate with seven glasses with yakmilk. Berks dragons was chocked. Toothless eyes was big, because their was another night fury in the same room as he was in. He never thought he would see another night fury again, in his life.
"Here, you maybe want something to drink." Jane gave one glass to each of Berk. When she was done she walked to Eric and stood beside him.
"It's...it's another night fury!" Hiccup almost shouted. A big smile spread over his face. All Hiccup wanted was to go to the night fury and just look at another night fury up close. But Jane stopped him.
"Drink."
"What?"
"Drink." Jane said again and looked at a confused Hiccup.
Berk looked down in the glass. It looked just like yak milk.
"Just drink it!" Jane almost shouted.
Berk looked around on each other.
Why should they drink it? Why did she give yak milk to them?
"Why should we drink it?" Hiccup asked courius. Is this poison? Did they just made them look at another night fury and then kill them?
"Just drink it Hiccup." Valka looked up fast to her very confused son.
"Drink." she said and drank it.
"No!" Hiccup said. He would not lose another parent. She looked up from the table. She looked normal. She wasn't dying. And not dead.
"Just drink it Hiccup." Valka said again. "It's just yak milk."
Hiccup drank it and Berk followed with hesitation.
They put the glass on the table and they all looked a bit pale till their heads falled down on the table with a thump.
Berk was unconscious.
On the table.
