How To Train Your Dragon
Night in the Twilight Sky
Chapter 6 ~ Waking Up
All I could feel around me was darkness Am I dead? I must be this time, nobody survives two major falls in a few days, maybe I died when the lightning hit me, wait a minute, I was hit by lightning? We no wonder since we was so high in the sky, but, maybe I drowned in the freezing sea, I don't feel cold though, if I really did drown I would be a little bit cold wouldn't I? Actually I'm quite warm... I could hear muttering and breathing There's people here? Then I might not be dead, how am I living through all of what the Gods throw at me? I'd better try and wake up atleast... I rose my eyelids slowly and saw a normal light Well I'm not dead I saw a wooden ceiling And I'm not in the sea, so where am I? I looked to my left and saw a group of teenagers standing next to the bed, and Hiccup and Astrid on my right
"Where... Where am I?" I breathed
"You're home Twilight" a voice came from the door, it was Stoick
"Home?" I paused Oh right Hiccup's home, I remember now "What happened?"
"You was struck by lightning, you fell off of Toothless, but he caught you just in time before you hit the ocean" Hiccup replied Oh that's what happened... Wait! What about Flare? Suddenly Flare jumped off of a boy with long blonde hair's shoulder and onto the floor
Are you ok now? I nodded
"And you have a burn on your hand" Astrid said, I lifted my right hand and there was a small burn in the centre, it was quite an awkward shape, but I couldn't identify it
"Hey, you're the new girl right?" the blonde boy spoke
"Well, duh, have you ever seen here around here before?" the girl next to him that bore a close resemblance to the boy
"Was I asking you?" The boy and girl had their heads locked together in an argument
"Guys!" a larger boy said attempting to separate them
"Yes, I'm the new girl, Twilight" I replied to the boys question "So what are your names?"
"Well, these two are Ruffnut and Tuffnut, This is Fishlegs, and I'm Snotlout" A bit more muscular boy replied
"Oh, Ok, hi" I greeted them "I did wanna say hi in a different way rather than nearly dying" I joked
"I'd guess you'd better be going everyone, Twilight has to rest" Gobber came out of nowhere from behind Stoick, and shooed the others out
"Oh, bye Twilight" Tuffnut said
"Hey! I gonna say bye first!" Ruffnut argued
"Well you should have said it then!" the two started fighting as they walked out of the door, I facepalmed
"I see you later Twilight" Fishlegs waved goodbye as he exited through the door
"See ya round" Snotlout finished as the door closed
"Well Twilight, how'd you feel?" Gobber asked me, walking over to my bed, followed by Stoick, I sat up in my bed
"Well... Pretty good, actually" I replied, Flare hopped onto my bed and curled himself on my lap, shutting his eyes
I thought you were Dead mistress- uh I mean Twilight I stroked him in reply
"That's good to hear, not many Vikings can survive a lightning strike" Stoick replied
"Well, you could class me as very lucky or very unlucky"
"How so?" Astrid asked, I turned to her, and a pain stabbed me in my chest when I saw her holding Hiccup's hand Ignore it!
"Well, I'm either very lucky that I've survived my first and second village being burnt down and raided by dragons, and also survive a lightning strike" I paused for breath "Or being unlucky because I almost nearly die every day" Hiccup seemed to chuckle
"Oh don't worry about it, I thought that way before like the Gods hated me" he replied
"Oh trust me, I know they hate me" I joked in reply
"Well, atleast you're ok, c'mon Astrid, sorry but it's time to go" Gobber said
"Ok, I'll see you later Twilight, get better soon" she said to me as she got up, Hiccup stood up too "And I'll see you later Hiccup" my stomach and chest churned as she kissed him on the lips, Flare tensed up Can Flare feel my emotions? Then he must feel terrible... as Astrid broke the kiss the hugged, she then waved and left the house
"And with that, I'm off to, see yer later lass" Gobber waved and also followed Astrid out of the door
"Glad to hear you're ok Twilight" Hiccup turned back to me, as he sat back on the chair next to me bed "Me and Toothless thought you was dead"
"I'm glad too" I paused "So where is toothless anyway?" Hiccup glanced upwards, suddenly Toothless swung over me, smiling a toothless smile, upside down, I was surprised and jumped slightly back in my bed "Gah!" it took me a moment to realise that Toothless was hanging upside down with his tail on a wooden beam above my bed, Hiccup couldn't help himself from laughing "Oh think it's funny do you?" I smirked, and pushed Hiccup out of his chair
"Hey!" he got up quickly
"Attempting to give a sick person a heart attack?" I joked, even Toothless was laughing in his dragon way
"Oh ha ha" he replied in a friendly sarcasm way, he looked out of the window for a moment, then back to me "Well, I'd guess we'd better go to bed" he yawned slightly and made his way to his bed, I looked back at Toothless, I stretched me right arm up and stroked him on his cheek, he shut his eyes a purred, he opened his eyes and stared at me, I smiled awkwardly in return, his green eyes burned into mine, his wide pupils drew me in a mysterious and curious feeling like a moth to a flame, he smiled again then swung and leaped off of the beam and onto the floor, he curled up in the middle of the room, I looked and saw Hiccup's bed directly opposite mine, he had clambered into bed in his clothes Ugh, why do boys do that? I mean, it's ok if you change your clothes the next day but... some don't. I looked at the desk next to my bed and chair, there was a leather book and a pencil next to it "Oh yeah, that was for you, by the way" I looked up at Hiccup
"Really?" I picked up the book, I opened it and it was blank Oh! A drawing book! I picked up the pencil, already having an idea in my head of what to draw
"Yeah of course, I remembered how you said that you like to draw and design stuff earlier, so I thought I'd give you one of my spare books, I don't really need it anyways" he said as he climbed into bed
"Aw, thanks Hiccup"
"Don't mention it" he smiled in reply and blew out his candle "Well goodnight Twilight"
"Goodnight Hiccup" I smiled Well that was nice... but now it is really awkward, we share the same bedroom, let alone the same house... I looked at Toothless, he was curled up asleep, I got my pencil and started to trace Toothless' image.
After I was finished it was about an hour later, I looked at my drawing, and it was pretty good, his ears were sized proportioned properly, his tail was the right size, and I even got the folds of his wings right, I yawned and began to feel the toll of staying up late, I shut my book, put it down on the desk with my pencil, I pulled my blanket over me and rested my head on the pillow, I began to think
Gosh, do I really like Hiccup? I feel strange when I'm with him... like I'm being struck by lightning all over again, and a sickening, delightful feeling, it's also a feeling as if I'm nervous like I'm about to jump off of a mountain I shrugged my shoulders back, my back and shoulder blades were killing me I... I think I love him... Oh come one Twilight! You've known him for a day! I keep reminding myself that but... Ok, it must just be a simple crush! I mean, there are other guys in Berk! Like Tuffnut, or Fishlegs, or Snotlout... Why do you find yourself so compelled to Hiccup? I looked across my room and looked at Hiccup, he was fast asleep, his blanket gently rising and falling, he looked so peaceful, I shut my eyes
Just don't think about him, it'll pass sooner or later...
I hope
