We went to dinner with the others on top of one of the catapults. My chicken was being cooked and Hiccup had come to join us and let's just say… Astrid was no happy with him. Nearly getting someone's sister killed isn't the best way to get on their good side.
"And with one twist he took my hand and swallowed it whole. And I saw the look in his face. I was delicious. He must have passed the word, because it wasn't a month before another one of them took my leg." Gobber said depicting the time a dragon ate his leg and hand waving his arm around that had a giant chicken attached to it.
"Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon. Like if your mind was still in control of it you could have killed the dragon from the inside by crushing his heart or something." Fishlegs said making me and Astrid look at him in disbelief.
"I swear I'm so angry right now. I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot. I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight, with my face." Snotlout said making me roll my eyes in annoyance as Gobber ripped off the leg of the chicken.
"It's the wings and the tails you really want. If it can't fly, it can't get away. A downed dragon is a dead dragon." Gobber said. I blinked and looked over at Hiccup surprised, did the dragon he hit damage its tail or wings? Maybe that's why it couldn't get away.
"Alright. I'm off to bed. You should be too. Tomorrow we get into the big boys, Slowly but surely making our way up to the Monstrous Nightmare. But who'll win the honor of killing it?" Gobber said and then I looked back at where Hiccup was only to find his fish left there.
"It's gonna be me. It's my destiny, see?" Tuffnut said rolling up his sleeve to reveal a red dragon tattoo on his arm but I wasn't that interested as I got up and went to the stairs to see Hiccup running down them.
"Your mom let you get a tattoo?" Fishlegs gasped in disbelief.
"It's not a tattoo it's a birthmark." Tuffnut insisted as Hiccup disappeared behind the corner. I sighed and went back to sit down next to Astrid again. The next day it was Zippleback time.
"Today is about teamwork. Work together and you might survive." Gobber said as the door of the cage opened and out came so much smoke it was hard to see. I was paired with Astrid and Ruffnut because there was an uneven number of people. We all had one bucket to use.
"Now, a wet dragon head can't light its fire. The Hideous Zippleback is extra tricky. One head breaths gas, the other head lights it. Your job is to know which is which." Gobber voice came as smoke covered us blocked off the other teams.
"There!" Snotlout's voice came and suddenly I was covered in water.
"What the heck is your problem!" I yelled as the smoke cleared enough so we could see Snotlout and Tuffnut.
"It's us idiots." Ruffnut added angrily.
"Your butts are getting bigger we thought you were a dragon." Tuffnut said laughing.
"Not that there's anything wrong with a dragon like figure." Snotlout said and then Astrid went over and punched him in the face and I came and when he started to get up I punched him again while Ruffnut hit Tuffnut with her bucket. And then Tuffnut got dragged into the smoke yelling.
"Wait." Astrid whispered to Ruffnut who had begun to move forward. We looked around and readied our buckets and then a tall knocked us over.
"Wow!" I yelled by bucket sent flying and suddenly Tuffnut crawled out of the smoke yelling.
"I am hurt! I am very much hurt!" And suddenly out came the head but Astrid and I didn't move from the ground, if we looked like we weren't threats we could have the element of surprise on the dragon. Fishlegs soaked the wrong head.
"Fishlegs!" Gobber yelled as Fishlegs ran away screaming.
"Hiccup now!" I yelled. He tried to throw it… and it didn't even come close to hitting it.
"Yeah… he's a charmer." Astrid teased me quietly so no one could hear me.
"Hiccup!" Gobber yelled as the dragon roared and came closer to him. And then something else happened… the dragon coward away from Hiccup. "What the…" I trailed off beyond surprised getting up..
"Back! Back! Back! Now don't you make me tell you again!" Hiccup yelled as the Zippleback retreated looking terrified… of Hiccup.
"Yes, that's right. Back into your cage." Hiccup said and I stared in amazement.
"Now think about what you've done." Hiccup said and then he closed the door as the Zippleback continued to cower. He turned back to us and I blinked in complete shock and Fishlegs dropped his bucket.
"Okay so are we done? Because I've got some things I need to…" Hiccup said backing away and then running towards the door,
"See you tomorrow!" he called. That's it… I'm following him. And follow him I did. His tracks where easy and they lead first to where he let go of the Night Fury and then they continued. This time I had remembered my axe and was slightly nervous. I'm kind of stalking this guy in the woods again which doesn't scream creeper at all... I followed the tracks down into a cove.
"Hic-" I froze in sheer shock and horror to what I found. The Night Fury was there… but so was Hiccup. He had a saddle and was just now putting it on the back of the Night Fury he froze and started at me.
"Oh no." he said. The Night Fury looked at me curiously with pupils lightly dilated… my axe slipped from my hand and I turn and ran surprise and slight terror and shock made me run and adrenaline made sure I didn't slow down for a second.
"Ingrid wait!" Hiccup yelled as I could hear him running after me. I pushed past all of the trees not looking back once. Until I ran into Astrid.
"Grid, there you are. Where'd you go? Did you find Hiccup?" she asked noting my panting, "What's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost." I hesitated, I could practically feel Hiccup's gaze on my back Astrid must not have seen him she was focused on me. Then came the decision… tell her or lie to her. I looked back briefly seeing a flash of green and auburn.
"Um… Hiccup? No I haven't seen him. I haven't seen him at all. He just disappeared. I almost fell down a cliff a little way back there and some wolves where just chasing me don't worry about it." I said quickly lying without really knowing, I actually lied to my sister. There goes rule number 3; never lie.
"Well… I don't see any wolves. Now. Let's go back home. We have some extra honeycomb. I won't tell if you don't." Astrid said crossing her arms.
"Sure let's go." I said and I stole a quick glance behind me to see Hiccup looking at me in disbelief. I turned back to Astrid as I pushed her towards the village. On the way home the only thing that I could think was, what have I done? What had Hiccup done? If Stoick or anybody found out... why didn't I tell Astrid! I couldn't tell Gobber now! Astrid would know I was lying gods she would kill me. Oh gods everyone is going to kill me! Well the would if I was going to tell! Oh gods I wasn't gonna tell! No I will if there isn't a good reason. If there isn't then I'll tell. Oh gods what have I gotten myself into?
