Hey Everyone! I am very sorry that I haven't written for a while *cough* a year *cough*! Life caught up with me and I found it hard to get the right style for this chapter. I hope that you all enjoyed the previous chapter, sorry about the cliffhanger. Please enjoy this next one!
As Kaylee fell, she closed her eyes. This is the end, she thought. There's no going back for me now.
She was about to hit the ground she felt herself carried upward by a pair of talons. She pried her eyes open to see Tuffnut and Ruffnut staring down at her.
"Nice catch, bro!" Ruff called over the wind.
"You didn't think that you would die that easily, did you?!" Tuff asked Kaylee. She just smiled at him.
The twins landed rather roughly and scrambled off their dragon. There was a shriek and an explosion against the side of the massive dragon. It was knocked over, but not for long. It stretched out its wings and set off after Toothless into the sky. Hiccup guided Toothless toward the clouds, with the thing not far behind. There was a tense moment on the beach as everyone waited for something to happen. Without warning, the sky began to light up as if there was a lightning storm. A maddened roar sounded and a wave of fire fell from the sky. A black streak dove towards the sea with the monster not far behind them. It was just about to fire when Toothless turned around and shot into its mouth. It began to explode and to Kaylee's horror, it was going to fall on Hiccup. The massive dragon fell to the ground and exploded in a brilliant flash of light.
Once the explosion was over, Stoick went charging into the ashes. "Hiccup!" he called. There was no reply. "Hiccup!" he tried again. "Son!" He stopped as he saw a black figure lying on the ground. "Hiccup." There was panic in his voice as he ran towards the back dragon. It moaned out in pain and Kaylee gasped. There was no Hiccup. Toothless opened his eyes and looked up at Stoick. Stoick dropped to his knees beside the dragon. "Oh, son... I did this." Stoick lowered his head. When he raised it again he looked into the Night Fury's eyes, holding back tears. "I'm so... I'm so sorry." Once he said this, the dragon opened his wings to reveal... Hiccup!
"Hiccup!" he cried, picking him up. He frantically searched for a sign of life; taking off his helmet to put his ear to Hiccup's scrawny chest. He gasped in surprise. "Oh, he's alive! You brought him back alive!" Kaylee let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding as the Vikings all around her cheered. Stoick placed his hand on Toothless's nose. "Thank you... for saving my son." The poor dragon laid his head down, exhausted. Gobber walked over to him to survey the damage.
"Well, you know... most of him."
It had been a few weeks since the Red Death had been defeated, and some would say that things have never been better. To get back to Berk the Vikings all chose a dragon and rode home. It was hard to transport Toothless, but Kaylee and Fishlegs managed to create a platform out of the remains of the fleet. Kaylee had decided to ride back with the twins instead of choosing a dragon of her own. She wished she had chosen a dragon. The twins talked nonstop about the massive explosion that had taken the Red Death's life.
Hiccup had been in a coma the entire time and the teens had been trying to help everyone with their dragons. It was hard work considering that they had only just trained their own dragons a few weeks ago and that Kaylee didn't even have a dragon. Instead she assisted in training all kinds of dragons, not just a specific breed. Thanks to all the times Fishlegs had brought the Book of Dragons home she knew quite a bit about the massive reptiles.
Now she was walking toward Hiccup's house. While she was still a ways off she noticed a group of people surrounding... Hiccup! She started to run towards him when she saw Astrid and him... kissing. She stopped in her tracks and began to slowly backed up. No, no. This can't be happening. Before she quite knew what was happening she turned around and ran as far as she could. She didn't stop until she reached the Lost Cavern, and when she did she fell to her knees and cried.
She didn't know how long she sat there before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She whipped around to see Ruffnut with her hand on her shoulder and Tuffnut standing awkwardly behind her looking anywhere but her eyes.
"We, uh, we saw what happened," he muttered. "I'm sorry."
"I-It's okay," she sniffed. "I-I didn't even get a chance to tell him."
"Hey, you'll be fine," Ruff said, slowly crouching down and pulling Kaylee into a hug. "Who knows, maybe he will break up with Astrid eventually."
"He doesn't deserve you!" Tuff blurted out. The two girls jumped and Kaylee gave him an odd look. "I-I mean that you don't need someone who will do that to you," he fumbled as his face began to flush a bright red.
Kaylee sighed. "Thanks guys," she said, smiling faintly. "That helps."
"Well, now that that's dealt with, why don't we get you a dragon? You're going to need one if they become a part of life around here," Ruff said, trying to lift her best friends spirits.
Kaylee nodded. "Yeah, good idea." She got to her feet and smiled at the two mutton-heads, those that had helped her through the toughest times of her life. As they left, she wondered what new adventures were waiting for them around the bend.
And this concludes HTTYD 1. Next I will move into Riders of Berk and possibly The Gift of the Night Fury. I hope you enjoyed, and please don't forget to comment and give feedback. Until next time!
