A way out of the darkness

Chapter 7

Your pov.

My sleep was interrupted by someone calling my name. First I just ignored it, but then the yelling became more insisting and much louder.

Stardancer also woke up from all the yelling and she decided to get up. A cold wind hit me, and sends a shiver through my body.

"(Y/n)!" why are someone looking for me this early in the morning? Actually, why is someone even looking for me?

"Urgh" I got up, "I'm here, mysterious person who woke me up." Okay so I was a little annoyed, but it was early and I was tired.

Someone broke free from the trees, and a big mass of black hit me.

I was laying on the ground again, so much for getting up. Then it started licking me, and then I noticed the big green eyes, "Toothless?"

He purred and moved so I could get up, "hey boy, what are you doing her? I don't suppose it was you who called out my name, unless you can speak." He smiled one of those toothless smiles, which I guess gave the idea to his name. He turned his head and looked behind him, I did the same.

There was hiccup, still pushing through the trees, but just as he came free a stick sprung back and hit his chest. Suddenly a wing popped up from his back, and he made a weird sound from the pain.

Then I lost it, it looked so funny so I just couldn't help but to laugh.

"Ha ha, very funny" he started to rotate some mechanism and the wing slowly came down. He's a weird one, I've never meet someone like him.

I was about done with laughing, "It IS funny." I giggled "but anyway, why did you wake me?"

"Well I couldn't find you anywhere yesterday, and I got worried." He scratched his hair, and looked a little away.

"Really?" he nodded. Well this is something new, to think he was worried about me.

"I was just flying around with Stardancer, we came back around midnight. I actually also told Astrid I was going for a fly, but I guess you didn't meet her." I wasn't sure if I should apologise or not, this was very new for me.

"No I didn't meet her." He's voice was kind of sad, and his eyes were depressed. Toothless walked over to him and nuzzled his nose against his arm.

"Something wrong?" I was kind of worried, I mean aren't Astrid and Hiccup together?

"No it's nothing" he smiled "I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Well I'm just fine, thank you" I smiled back.

"Then I think will start working, but please come and eat together with us again. It's a little lonely when my mom's not around." He made a little smile and flew off with Toothless.

There was definitely something wrong, because even though he smiled, his eyes were filled with sadness.

A week later:

I've used the last week at the dragon academy, and helping Gobber, so we could help Hiccup. I've eaten dinner with Hiccup, and found out his mom properly soon will get home. Also that there's something going on with Astrid and Hiccup, because shouldn't it be her that ate with Hiccup and not me?

But anyway today is the days were the student at the dragon academy is going find a dragon. Almost the whole village was here to see it, also Hiccup. As he said it's a chief's job to protect and encourage his village. There's actually a girl I'm cheering for, I've gotten to like her this last week. She has a lot of spirit and courage, but she's also very gentle. I'm sure she will be a great dragon rider.

Were on an open area, where all the dragons meet, rest and play. It's the best place to find a dragon since there's a lot of them, and many different kinds too.

The most ordinary is of course; Grunkel, Deadly Nadder, Hideous Zippleback, Terrible Terror and Monstrous Nightmare.

It's the dragons most people chose apparently; there are also most of these kinds of dragons here.

But there are actually also some more rare and difficult ones like; Trunderdrum, a Stormcutter, Whispering death and Timberjack.

I think the little girl I favour; Juliana is going after a Deadly Nadder, but she's been looking at that Stormcutter for a long time now. Who know it may be a good match, they are very friendly dragons.

For the other students I don't know, the boys will go after some big dragons of course, especially that one boy, I don't know is name. I'm bad at remembering names, but good at faces. He's been looking very excited the whole time, I've got a feeling I should keep an eye on him.

The students were standing on a line, while Astrid was talking about what they learned, how important this was, how's it's going to work, bla bla bla.

Juliana glanced at me, and I send her an encouraging smile.

They started, and the 5 students went out to find their dragon. It was simple; they just had to bond with a dragon, using what they've learned. Of course the dragons also had to like them; dragons have a very strong sense of this. Who they like, and who they don't, they can sense it in an instance.

As I predicted Juliana was going towards the group of Deadly Nadder's, when she stopped and turned. She looked at the Stormcutter, and started making her way towards it. When she got close it noticed her, this was it, what was going to happen. The Stormcutter stood up and got to Juliana, its head went down to Juliana's level. It sniffed, puffed her hair by blowing some air, and looked her in deep in the eyes. She took her hand out slowly and placed it in front of the Stormcutter.

"Yes, come on you can do this," my voice was very low, only meant for myself. "You know that girl?" It was Hiccup, apparently he heard me.

"Well yes, I've helped out at the academy, she's very good." Why am I nervous?

"I can see that, to think she chooses a Stormcutter, it's actually the same dragon my mom has." He had a little smile on his face, "is that so, I didn't know."

"Well I didn't tell you, did I?" his smile grew. Why does he smile so much, is something amusing?

I didn't know what to say, and I was too concentrated on Juliana to focus on something else.

The Stormcutter looked at her, her hand, and then her it finally decided and let Juliana pat its head.

I breathed out; she found her dragon, and a magnificent one at that.

The villagers started cheering; almost everybody had found their dragons now, except for the boy, with the name I don't remember. He was going for a big one, a really big one; The Timberjack, and it was not looking friendly.

Oh no, for the love of Thor, don't do it.

He wasn't turning back, and the dragon had discovered him now.

I started running.

(Note: Timberjack is a gigantic dragon, with razor sharp wings that can slice through full grown trees. Is in the Dragon manual Hiccup read in the first movie.)

Hi! :3

So I hoped you liked it. ^_^

I will properly start to jump more in the story, but it will come gradually.

Kind of hope that this left you wondering what will happen. :3

Can't wait to start writing it, I think it will be out soon.

Anyway thanks for reading, see you next time. ^_^
