Rapid heart palpitations were becoming a regular thing for the foreign teens. Flying thousands of feet high in the air on the back of a scaly reptile definitely knew how to make a heart feel like it'd jump out. The feeling of flying was an indescribable feeling...one Meylin could never describe. It felt weird, sitting on the back of a big black dragon, body shaking tremendously with nervous excitement.
One thing was for sure. It was freezing. Icy winds stung her prickled skin, and being on a cold blooded reptile didn't help things. Arms crossed as to keep her warm, she looked back at her shivering friends. It was a very quiet, awkward ride back to their base. Javon's eyes sagged with exhaustion as well as Akalya. Helen and Blair just looked...perplexed. Okay, Helen was a little freaked out. Holding onto Blair for dear life, as you could tell he wasn't too fond of her clinginess.
Alex started to shift uncomfortably, not liking the total silence. You could definitely feel the tension in the air.
"Umm, where exactly are you taking us?" Alex asked, trying to look at Hiccup who was lost in deep thought. His head perked up and he looked back to face Alex and Meylin.
"Back to our base. You can tell us where you guys came from and maybe we can help you get home," Hiccup said assuringly as Toothless warbled , getting a little tired from the extra weight. "I hear ya bud, we're almost there."
Meylin grasped Alex's arm gently, "We can't tell them where we're from." she whispered into his ear. "I know, we'll figure something out don't worry. We just need to get out of their way so we don't ruin anything in their timeline..." Alex whispered back trying not to let Hiccup hear.
The girl, Astrid, cocked her head in suspicion noticing the two's little secret communication and urged her bright blue dragon to fly closer to Toothless.
"I'm sorry but do you have a problem with that?" She asked threateningly, as Hiccup sent her a warning glare. Alex and Meylin glanced at each other, but Blair decided to intervene.
"No we don't. Our friends our injured and sick, and they need help. You can worry about gaining our trust later," He shouted towards Astrid as she narrowed her eyes towards him. Helen sat up straight as to back Blair up, and Snotlout shrugged towards Hiccup.
Alex silently nodded towards Blair in gratitude, as Blair returned the gesture. Meylin bit her lip with worry, she hoped they wouldn't always be on edge with the riders.
"Hey I like these guys. Fiesty, mi compadres." Tuff chuckled as Ruff chortled. Akalya and Javon looked very unamused and unpleased that they had to be on a two headed dragon with some mutton heads.
"Astrid..." Hiccup said lowly, as Astrid rolled her eyes. "Ugh," She gestured Stormfly further down closer to Earth as the edge came closer into view.
"Finally," Snotlout said in exasperation, everyone urging their dragons closer to the base. All the foreign teens glanced worriedly at each other as they descended, hoping the wrong words didn't slip when they landed.

Blair snickered across the 'clubhouse' (what they called the big hut they were in) and peered at the discussing dragon riders. Helen helped Akalya bandage her swollen foot with the bandages that the riders had given them.
Another stocky rider had appeared to the scene named Fishlegs. He was shocked to see new faces arrive and found it pretty suspicious. The teens couldn't blame them. They really showed up at the wrong time.
Meylin pursed her lips in worry when she heard the riders talking about them. Astrid just continued to call them spies, clearly not trusting them at all. Snotlout and the twins actually tried to defend them, and Fishlegs was on Astrid's side. Hiccup however, didn't really have a side. But he certainly leaned towards helping them.
"Soooo, do we have a plan or what? I'm really sick and tired of us being tossed around." Javon stated clearly aggravated. Helen snickered as she finished the bandage off. "Yeah literally," She said eyeing him, as he sniffed and wiped his runny nose.
They were all huddled in the corner of the clubhouse, keeping their distance from the riders. They were all sitting or leaning against the wall as they discussed ways on how to get out, before they got too involved.
"Well, I'm up for suggestions. Because I'm fresh out of ideas, other than lying." Alex said as he turned around to face his friends, as he was previously watching the riders converse. They all quickly put on their thinking faces.
"Honestly, how about we just tell them we're from another tribe or something? Or..." Akalya tried to put some input in, but then went back to scratching the back of her head.
"Shhh! They're coming." Blair whispered, as the group turned their heads to face the riders who stood confidently in front of them.
"TELL US WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU COME FROM OR WE'LL BLOW YOU UP!" Tuff shouted threateningly leaning in closely as Ruff drew her mace. All the teens recoiled back, and gasped in shock perplexed looks on their faces.
"Tuffnut! That's not what we agreed on!" Hiccup ordered sternly, and he eyed Ruffnut as well. Astrid facepalmed and Snotlout and Fishlegs looked just as confused as the group.
"Hehe. Sorry about that, my sister can be kind of aggressive sometimes," Tuff responded amused, as Ruff grunted in annoyance. "Oh yeah sure, Tuff! Says you!" She threatened to punch him but Hiccup intervened. "Guys!"
Ruff and Tuff recoiled back innocently as Hiccup shook his head with a sigh. He walked towards the teens on the floor, and Astrid stood behind him with her arms crossed.
"Who are you?" He asked subtly, cocking his brow. Alex stood up as well as Blair, and they both stood next to each other gesturing for the rest to stay seated.
"I'm Alex, and this is Blair. That's Meylin, Akalya has the broken foot, that's Helen, and Javon." Alex introduced them all, pointing to each person as he said their name. They gave slight waves and Hiccup looked back at Astrid, and they exchanged looks.
Snotlout snickered. "What kind of names are those? Do you come from some foreign land or something," He joked half heartedl, and Meylin retorted under her breath, "You have no idea." Helen nudged her as to keep her quiet.
"We come from...Con-...ovia..." Blair stuttered unsure of what to say. The group gave him weird glances, as the riders all looked very confused.
"Conovia? Never heard of it. Are there dragons there?" Hiccup asked crossing his arms. Meylin was first to respond, kind of done with how Blair and Alex were handling this.
"No, they are very very rare. Conovia is very far away from here. Our...tribe, uhh...was invited to a huge celebration feast with local villages. The boat we were traveling on got separated in a storm and we shipwrecked on a foreign island and we encountered dragons for the first time, then those hunter guys captured us. We want nothing to do with your war or whatever, we just want to go home." Meylin said confidently. Her friends gave her wide-eyed glances, as Alex smiled. Blair huffed in annoyance at her taking over.
Hiccup furrowed his brow and turned back to his friends. They all shrugged and he turned back around to the strangers. By now Helen, Akalya and Javon were standing, and suddenly the big black dragon bounded in and slowly came over to them.
They all recoiled back a little, kind of worried of what the dragon would do to them. Meylin trembled a bit as Toothless started to sniff her. He did the same with everyone else and Hiccup relaxed a bit.
"Don't worry, he won't hurt you. He trusts you guys, which means I guess we have to as well." Hiccup said lightly, and Alex and his friends smiled.
Well now that they trusted them (well at least Hiccup did) all they had to now was find a way home. That seemed impossible at this point, but hey, if they somehow ended up here the impossible clearly proved possible.
Astrid pulled Hiccup to the side, as the rest of the gang started to chat with the strangers. "You better be right about them Hiccup, something about them seems off." She said eyeing them all. "Just trust me, Astrid. I trust whoever Toothless trusts."
Hiccup walked over to them and Astrid scoffed and crossed her arms. Something didn't feel right.
