Chapter 7 (sorry I'm a bit lost on what chapter this is! Help!)

A/N:

Ummm… I can explain… (Ginger: I thought you were dead… are well there's my dreams crushed.) No Ginger I'm not dead this is such a late update because I've been busy doing… you know… whatever people do in the winter… such as:

Foraging- ok so maybe crawling about Tesco on my hands and knees isn't exactly foraging but I still like to yell "GOT IT!" whenever I pick up a carrot or cereal box…

Building fires- (Ginger: OH GOD NO!) Excuse me? I can start a fire…! sort of…

Hibernating- (Ginger: what the hell! Curling up in your duvet on the sofa all day doesn't count as hibernating!) Hey it took a lot of work to become the best at my lying about zezzing and yahooing! (Ginger:… you realise that spells LAZY…?) …

"I've got it!" Hiccup cried jumping to his feet, he grabbed Camicazi and swung her round yelling "I've got it, I've got it!"

"What? What have you got?" Camicazi asked weakly as she began to get dizzy.

"It!" Hiccup yelled as if that made perfect sense, then he grabbed Camicazi's arm and half ran half dragged her into the forge, once inside Hiccup ran into the back room and brought out a strange contraption that looked slightly like a bow and arrow.

"What's that?" Camicazi asked suspiciously.

"How do you kill a dragon Cami?" Hiccup asked grinning like a mad man.

"Easy, first cut off the wings to down it then attack the central power source, the heart."

"But have you ever tried killing it by attacking something other than the heart, say the legs?"

Camicazi seemed taken aback by this question, "No because dragons heal in sleep comas, if you attacked the legs you would harm the dragon but not kill it, you have to go for its life source otherwise it will just heal itself."

"Exactly!" Hiccup grinned, "So the bigger the life source the more likely the dragon is to rely mainly on its heart for support!"

The penny dropped. "Oh I get it!" Camicazi cried in excitement. "The dragon on the beach is so big it will rely on its heart to keep it going so much that one hit to it could kill it!"

"Right again!" said Hiccup still fiddling about with his contraption. "That's where this thing comes in, the cross-bow, specially designed to be ten times more powerful than a regular bow and arrow, a dragon that relies so much on its heart must have very tough scales."

"But there has to be a flaw…" Camicazi muttered a frown creasing her brow.

"Yes and that problem is we don't know that the dragon's main power source is his heart, it could be anywhere."

Camicazi thought for a minute then gasped, "It's got to be the brain! Did you see how it was speaking it must rely a lot on its intelligence!"

Hiccup hugged her tightly. "You did it Cami that's it! But we have to test it out to make sure I only have three arrows for this thing we can't afford to miss, come on, me and you are going to have another little chat with our friend the big green one."

It took a while to get to the long beach mainly because Camicazi kept slipping on the boggy ground and crashing into him. When they finally arrived the green giant appeared to be waiting for them.

"Took your time getting here didn't you." He sighed quietly.

"Um… yes, me and Camicazi were wondering-." Hiccup began.

The demi-dragon winced slightly, "Camicazi and I…"

Hiccup blinked in confusion, "Pardon?"

"You said me and Camicazi, its Camicazi and I."

"Oh yeah…" Hiccup muttered slightly confused.

The dragon sighed fondly, "Grammar is the greatest joy in life don't you agree?" Hiccup and Camicazi nodded politely not wishing to offend the demi-dragon.

"Not many people appreciate grammar like I do." The giant sighed again.

They talked back and forth for a little while; most of the time was spent with the dragon correcting any grammatical errors they made which then lead to a full lecture on the history of grammar and its purpose. Camicazi and Hiccup didn't want to be rude and interrupt the creature but they both agreed that it was getting very boring, so when the dragon said.

"I'm feeling rather tired now." The two readily agreed to leave and let him rest.

"It's defiantly the brain." Camicazi muttered as they walked away, "did you hear him going on about grammar!"

"I think your right." Hiccup whispered. Hiccup and Camicazi crawled back up the hill and into the forge.

Line line line line

Hiccup and Camicazi crouched low in the soggy heather that made up Berk. Once they had retrieved the cross-bow from the forge it had been a simple task to load the arrows and sneak of back to where the demi-dragon slept.

"Aim for the head." Camicazi advised.

"I know!" Hiccup snapped back.

"I'm just saying you're aiming too high!"

"It's a bow and arrow you're meant to aim it a little higher than the target!"

"I thought it was a cross-bow?"

"Same thing."

"No… not really… it's a cross-bow…"

Hiccup huffed angrily; needless to say they were both getting on each other's nerves. A shout from the top of the hill caused Hiccup to groan, the distinctive sound of the Hooligan war cry echoed across the beach and about 100 or so warriors came charging down the hill side screaming bloody murder.

Behind them came the Bog Buglers screaming their war cry which sounded very much like a very rude word yelled at the top of the lungs.

The dragon lifted its head and watched in slight amusement at the 200 Viking warriors bearing down on it. Camicazi swore, Hiccup sighed and the dragon just laughed as it swatted away its attackers.

"Shoot!" Yelled Camicazi, "Quickly while it's distracted!" Hiccup swivelled round and aimed the arrow for the head.

A few metres away an enormous Bog Bugler with a wild stock of brown hair and a small beard, bear in mind that the Bog Buglers are all female, charged forward waving a massive double-headed axe, she slipped on a particularly boggy patch of ground and her axe was sent flying from her grasp.

It spun across the ground toward the two, the wooden handle spun straight at Camicazi knocking her feet out from underneath her, she toppled forward crashing into Hiccup at the exact moment he fired the arrow. The arrow swerved and hit the beast in the chest, Camicazi and Hiccup held their breath.

Nothing happened.

A tiny drop of dark green blood dropped from the creatures wound and rolled down his chest before slowing dripping onto the ground, the heather where it had fallen burst into bright green flames.

"Shoot again!" Camicazi yelled hopping about in her excitement and bloodlust.

Hiccup aimed this time for the head.

"SHOOT HIM IN THE NOGGIN! SEND HIM SCREAMING TO VALHALLA THE HARD WAY!" Camicazi shrieked unhelpfully from behind him, the sight of the dragon's blood had clearly made her madder than a mad march hare having a nervous breakdown.

The second arrow blasted out the barrel of the cross-bow.

It hit the monster square in the head; the blow knocked him backwards slightly. The two waited in silence. Around them Vikings attacked from all directions with axes, swords and spears but they were ignored completely by the two tiny outcast of the tribes.

"Why isn't it working?" Hiccup muttered reloading.

"Shoot again, shoot again!" Camicazi hissed.

"Too late!" The Demi-Dragon crowed triumphantly. Too late, they were too late! Hiccup thought in horror as the dragon bent down a wacked the cross-bow away with one of its massive claws. The last arrow snapped in half like a twig.

Hiccup and Camicazi ran. The surrounding Vikings were also beginning to retreat back to the safety of the Meade Hall, Hiccup and Camicazi however ran instead to the forge.

"Gone…"Camicazi muttered, "The cross-bows gone."

Hiccup slammed the door firmly shut behind them locking a few of the bolts just to make sure, "We need a new plan." He said.

"Thank you for stating the obvious!" Camicazi growled her voice dripping with sarcasm, Hiccup ignored her.

"It's not the head or the heart then what is it?" He muttered pacing up and down the shop. "Was there anything else anything the dragon might have said or done to give himself away?"

"Nothing!"

"Are you sure? All we need is a little mistake a minor slip up…"

"Like I said nothing!"

Hiccup thought for a moment. Did he say anything? Anything that could give us a minor hint? As he thought one sentence buzzed about inside his head like an annoying fly.

"I'm sure you'll find my eyes enchanting."

"Hiccup are you okay?" Camicazi asked looking worriedly at her friend.

Hiccup's mouth had formed a small O shape and his green eyes had gone wide and round.

"It's the eyes!" He whispered.

"What?" Camicazi stammered.

"The eyes! Their his heart!" Hiccup whispered again he reached slowly inside his pocket and gently fingered half of the snapped cross-bow he had picked up as they ran away from the Demi-Dragon.
