Transformation
Hailey was walking to the cove wearing a blue tunic, electric blue shorts and white sneakers. Her auburn hair was pulled back into a braid and pushed to a side. Her long bangs hung loosely over her left eye. She pushed some branches out of her way as she neared the cove. When she got to the wall, she jumped down and landed in a crouch on the ground.
As she looked around, she expected to see Toothless sleeping inside the cave he was in. But instead, she found a boy, about her age, standing a few feet away from her. She stumbled back a bit, keeping her eyes on the boy in case he was a threat. But that made her wonder where Toothless was. Fear started building up inside her, thinking that this boy had possibly killed Toothless.
The boy sensed her fear and decided it was time to introduce himself. But he wasn't sure if he should use his real name, or a name he would make up. The girl's expression had not changed from fear and the boy became worried.Doesn't she recognize me?he thought. The boy ran his hand through his hair.
"Uh, hi?" he said, trying to calm Hailey's nerves. She was startled again when she heard the boy speak in Dragonese. Even though it didn't calm her nerves, she didn't flinch. She stood in her exact position. She wanted to talk, but she wasn't sure if she would like to talk to some random boy who she found in the cove and could have possibly killed Toothless. She spoke anyway, but with wariness.
"Who are you?" she asked in Dragonese. It was now the boy's turn to be stuck for an answer. He still wasn't sure if it was a good idea to reveal himself to her yet. But with the options he was stuck with, he didn't have much of a choice.
"Um, I'm Toothless." He ran his hand through his hair again. Hailey was thoroughly scared now. Her dragon friend was now a human? She looked closer at the boy, and found some resemblance of her dragon. The boy had shaggy black hair, forest green eyes, and slightly tanned skin. He was wearing a white shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. He also had a lot of freckles.
"T... Toothless?" she stuttered. Toothless nodded. "Well that explains how you speak Dragonese. Now my question. How in the name of Thor did that happen?"
"Um, well, you know that lightning bolt? Yeah, that gave me abilities to turn myself from dragon to human and vice versa." His explanation made some sense to Hailey. But something was still bothering her.
"Okay, but why did you turn into a human?" she asked, which was the most confusing question. Toothless froze. He really had two reasons for turning into a human. One of them was of course having feelings for her. The other was to help her feel less lonely at this 'school' she always talks about. He was debating on which reason he would tell her and he chose the latter.
"Well, since you always say that you feel so lonely at school, I wanted to come with you so you didn't feel so lonely." Hailey was touched that Toothless wanted to help her out through school. So she ran over to him and hugged him. Toothless was startled for a moment, before realizing what was happening and hugged her back. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes before Hailey thought of something.
She pulled away from the hug as she said, "You know, you're going to need a human name. Like, um... Tony!" Toothless was confused, so Hailey explained. "Well, people are going to think it's odd to be calling a human Toothless. And I don't want to get you bullied."
"Okay, I can deal with the human name, but when no one is around us, can you still call me Toothless?" He looked at her with pleading eyes. She nodded. Toothless yipped as he jumped up in the air then landed back on the ground. "But can you explain to me what you do in this 'school'?"

The two had just watched the scene before them and Death had freaked out. His mind was racing as he paced around in the castle. He may have been the most fearsome dragon in the world, but he got panic attacks easily. Vorpent had been trying to calm his dragon down, though nothing seemed to work.
"That human girl was NOT supposed to find out about the lightning bolt!" Death screamed as he sped his pace up. "Our plan is D-E-A-D! Dead I tell you!" He stopped his pacing and raised his paw up to emphasize his shout.
"Death, calm down, will you?!" Vorpent shouted as Death began to hyperventilate and pace. "I'm sure we can get this situation under control. Now stop pacing! You're starting to wear a ring in the floor!" Vorpent pointed to the large ring on the stone castle floor. Death chuckled out of nervousness and wobbly sat down on the floor.
As soon as he stopped hyperventilating, he asked, "Explain to me how you will get this under control." He looked expectantly at his master. He thought for a moment and looked out the window to see a Whispering Death, a Skrill, a Smothering Smokebreath, a Changewing, a Scauldron, and the Thunderdrum flying around the castle. An evil grin made its way onto Vorpent's face.
He turned to face his dragon. "We can send out a dragon army!" He turned around and signaled Death to follow, in which he did. "And I know just the dragons to send." He walked up to the large wooden door that opened to the dragons and opened it. The dragons all heard the doors open, flew down, and awaited Vorpent's orders.
The man looked over the dragons sitting in front of him. "As I call your name, step forward!" he shouted. "Stonespawn the Blade!" a black Whispering Death stepped forward. "Blazebolt the Furious!" a dark purple Skrill stepped forward. "Shadowdash the Demonic!" a Smothering Smokebreath stepped forward. "Angersneak the Enraged!"
A bright red ChangeWing came forward. "Wavesoak the Warrior!" a dark green Scauldron stepped forward. "Demonfury the Violent!" an ocean blue Thunderdrum stepped forward. Once they were all present, Vorpent sent the rest of the dragons away. Death walked up to his master's side and looked at the six dragons in front of him.
"You six have been chosen for a mission," Vorpent began. The dragons remained silent but were exploding with joy on the inside. "Tomorrow at 2:15 pm., you will attack the school Berk High. Search for the girl with a Night Fury birth-mark on her right hand. She will have a human boy with her that can turn himself into a Night Fury. I want you to destroy that girl and dragon!" The dragons nodded in understanding.
"Go fix up any mistakes on your attacks and, like I said, head to Berk High at 2:15 pm." The dragons nodded once more before heading off to their dens.
Vorpent turned around and headed back into his castle with Death following close behind. "That girl won't know what hit her." He laughed menacingly and stepped inside, anxiously waiting to hear the pathetic screams of the girl.
