I said boom chica boom…boom chica boom…Oh, hello there my fellow
Fanfiction-ers! Ha, okay, so, I kind of just decided to make the first five people who leave a review saying they want to be in the story, into the story. But if I really just don't think I can handle it, I will choose the next one. So at this point, keep leaving reviews for that! Don't be surprised if I send you a message asking questions about your person or what you think they should do. The first two people I am going to do are TolkienNerd4832 and A-Crazy-Redneck. There is a third one that I MIGHT do, her name is Nicole, but I'm still not entirely sure.
This is to Nicole (The chick who said she wanted to be in my story): I'm not sure if I would be able to get your personality right. There is a bigger possibility of me putting you in the story than me NOT putting you in it. It's just, you seem kind of complicated for some reason. I'm not sure. I'll PM you or something. Thanks though for wanting to be in the story. I really needed a few new characters.
Oh, and for those of you who read the reviews that other people have left on my story, if you're wondering why I'm putting A-Crazy-Redneck in the story even when he didn't even leave what his name is or what he's like or anything like that, it's because I text him a lot so I already know what he's like and what his name is.
Anyway, I think you want to read the story now. So enjoy!
Chapter 8: Annoyance and Sickness
I couldn't tell where I was when I first woke up.
I felt like complete and total crap. I was sweating but at the same time I was freezing. My throat burned and my head ached. I felt sick to my stomach. I don't think I've ever felt that cruddy before.
I was just starting to remember everything and where we were. I was curled up with Toothless in Iratze's cave. I remembered everything from before we even came here, how I kissed Toothless and how she kissed me back. I felt a warm feeling go through me, and I knew that it was a good one. I opened my eyes, only to be stopped by a coughing fit again. Toothless moved a little and I felt her snout on my cheek.
"Everything okay?" I heard another voice say. A…human voice. But I was the only human in this cave. Toothless seemed to notice too. "What the…?" And apparently so did the owner of the voice. Toothless and I both slowly turned our heads.
"Who are you?" we both asked, which in my opinion sounded a little weird since one of our voices was human and the other was dragon.
The boy sitting in front of us had brown hair. Dark brown, that is. It was in a messed up bundle on his head, like he had just been sleeping. The clothing he was wearing included a blue tunic, black pants, and a pair of black boots. He had muscular arms and he looked to be about my age. Brown eyes and somewhat high check bones were featured on his face. All in all, he could probably easily get a girlfriend.
He stared back at us for a minute.
"Hellooo?" I said in a scratchy voice. "I'm talking to you!" The boy kept staring.
Finally, he seemed to realize that I was talking to him.
"Hiccup? Toothless?" The boy said, squinting, "What's going on?"
"We were going to ask you the same thing…hey! How do you know our names? And you still haven't answered my last question."
"Guys, it's me. Iratze." He said. A look of shock passed on Toothless's face, and there probably would have been one on mine if I wasn't so tired.
"Iratze?" Toothless gasped.
"Yeah, what the heck happened to me?" he said, exasperated.
"I have no clue," I was very calm, seeing as I had already been through this once before.
But I thought that only Night Furies could transform… I remembered.
"I…I think I might have an idea as to how this happened." Toothless said, embarrassingly.
"You do? How?" I asked while trying not to sneeze (for anyone who's interested in how this drastic event ended, I failed and ended up sneezing my brains out).
"Well," Toothless began, "last night when me and Hiccup were talking about…you know," she looked at me with the kind of look that says, You better know what I'm talking about or I'll spit fire all over your pathetic face! And then continued: "And he mentioned a way to... help you, I guess."
"Help me?" Iratze cocked an eyebrow (that was gonna take some getting used to).
"I'll explain later. Anyways, I thought about it, but I realized it was probably impossible. I kind of prayed to the gods for a way to help you, and before I feel asleep I saw that you were glowing." Iratze looked at Toothless like she had said something like, And before I fell asleep, I saw that you were mating with Hiccup. Which at the moment, was an image that really didn't do much to settle my stomach. "You must have transformed over night."
"Like you did?"
"Exactly," Toothless nodded, "But you're lucky. You actually woke up with clothes."
"I see," Iratze looked like if he held back his laughter any longer, he was going to pee himself. Finally, he calmed himself by taking a deep but shaky breath. "But…how am I going to get back?"
"Same way Toothless did, I guess," I suggested. "But you didn't change on a full moon. Maybe you'll just change back to a dragon on the next one. Toothless changed into a human on a full moon, then transformed back into a dragon on a new moon which was only two nights ago. You will probably change back on the next full moon which is in fifteen days. Unless you don't want to change back…" More coughs erupted from me, this time forcing a bunch of gunk up my throat.
"Why wouldn't I want to go back? I'm supposed to be a dragon!" Iratze said.
"I-," I tried to say something, but Toothless cut me off.
"I liked being human," she shrugged her gigantic shoulders. I shot her a death glare for interrupting me. She rolled her eyes. "It was actually kind of fun. But…I wonder…Hey, I could shoot flames from my hands and had scales on them. Do you?"
"I don't know. Let me see…" Iratze held his hands away from us and concentrated on trying to shoot flames from his palms. Nothing happened. He looked at his hands. "No scales either."
"Okay, so no leftover dragon traits like Toothless had," I confirmed. "I still don't understand how this is even possible! Only Night Furies are supposed to be able to transform."
"Pfft, just because you guys read a piece of paper doesn't mean that everything on it is right." Iratze sighed.
"Can we worry about this later?" Toothless asked. "We should probably be getting home."
"I don't know if I can ride you up. The only way out is to fly and Iratze isn't a dragon anymore, plus I feel like something crawled into my stomach and died." I gagged.
"Maybe you could just ride her up to the top of the cliff with me, and then she can walk the rest of the way to the village with us on her back." Iratze explained his idea.
I considered it. On one hand, we can stay here in the cave with no food or water or anything to keep us entertained, or I can man up and ride Toothless to the top of the mountain…flying…moving around a lot…Oh, gods, I think I might throw up. But looking at the two choices, I had to pick the latter.
"Alright, I probably have enough strength to do that," I tried to convince myself of that, but it wasn't working very well. "Can you help me up, Iratze?"
Iratze nodded and came over to me while I tried to sit up. He put his hands under my arms and pushed me up. I stumbled, almost falling over and feeling like I was going to hurl. If I thought I felt sick before, standing up was a whole other story. I stood up so fast I went momentarily blind.
Toothless rushed over to me and put her head under my arm. "Thanks, bud," I said weakly. She crouched down so I could easily get onto her. I got everything in position.
Once we were ready, Toothless walked outside. I put my foot in the right position as she prepared herself for take off.
"Go," I choked. She took off at a 90 degree angle and I almost vomited from the movement. Whatever sickness I had was worse than just a cold. So far, I had had coughs, nauseous stomach pains, headaches, and sneezing.
As soon as we got on the ground, I leaned forward and put my head on Toothless's neck. I started coughing again and when I felt something in my throat, I leaned over and threw up. Toothless stopped for me.
"Hiccup, what in Freya's name is wrong with you?" she asked. Iratze put a hand on my shoulder.
"Ugh, I don't know," I gagged. I felt a sharp pain in my chest and groaned. "My chest is starting to hurt."
"Man, we gotta get you to the village and fast." Iratze said.
"Toothless, go ahead and run, I'll be fine." I ordered her. She hesitated, but nodded and took off running full speed. It was all a blur. We were there within 5 minutes.
Toothless ran into the village and roared for someone to come and help me. My vision was starting to blur, just like it did while we were running. I heard yells from people calling my name in a panic and saw then racing towards me.
But one yell and one person's worried and scared expression was the one that I saw as clear as day.
My Dad.
Toothless POV
Hiccup was sick, extremely sick. At first it just seemed like a cold, but then he started puking and getting very weak. He complained of a headache and chest pains constantly, but especially when he coughed. I was really worried about him.
When we landed in the village, people came rushing toward us. Astrid and Stoick got to him first. Stoick looked really scared and frightened. I then looked at Astrid. She looked worried, but she gave me a small smile. Nobody seemed to notice Iratze, although he did get a couple glances in his direction.
"Hiccup!" Stoick cried. He lifted his almost unconscious son into his beefy arms. Iratze hopped off and stayed with me. Stoick gave me a somewhat apologetic look and then turned and ran inside the house. I glanced at Iratze, signaling him with my eyes to follow.
I went inside the house and ran up the stairs. I didn't care if Stoick didn't want me in there, he's my Hiccup! I burst through the door and into Hiccups' room, where Stoick was laying him on his bed.
Please be all right, I thought. I went to the side of the bed and put my face next to Hiccup's ghostly pale one.
"Who's that?" I heard Iratze ask me. I glanced up.
"Astrid," I answered with absolutely no interest.
"Oh, okay," he said plainly.
"What the Hell happened?" Stoick questioned roughly. Hiccup looked like he was having a hard time staying awake.
"Are you…still mad?" he asked softly. Stoick kneeled down.
"Oh, no. Not at all, son," he looked like he was on the verge of tears. I highly doubted that they would come, but I could see them. "This is all my fault. I didn't mean to get out of control like that." He turned to me. "You, I'm extremely sorry. I didn't mean any of what I said. But Astrid told me that, uh, you were Cleo. Is that true?" he looked slightly nervous. I nodded. "Okay. And one more thing; who on earth is this boy?"
"I am Iratze. I'm a friend of Hiccup and Toothless." Iratze said, grinning.
"Dad," Hiccup gasped. "I don't know what I'm sick with, but since I am probably going to be in bed while I'm sick with it, have Iratze translate what Toothless says, and Astrid is the only one who knows how to ride her."
"How does Iratze know how to understand dra-," Stoick started.
"We might as well tell him since he already knows about Toothless being Cleo." Hiccup cut him off. "Iratze is a Toxic Nightshade dragon. He…well, last night me and Toothless stayed in his cave, and after I fell asleep, I guess Toothless transferred some of her power to Iratze. He turned into a human over night."
"Did we actually decide that it was me who transferred power over to him?" I asked. "What if he just, you know, changed? What if I really had nothing to do with it?"
"I think that you gave him some of your power, honestly." He shrugged.
"What are the gods planning?" Stoick muttered to himself.
"And Dad?" Hiccup said.
"Yes?"
"What were you so mad about?" Stoick's face turned to guilt.
"I was…well, I heard that you and 'Cleo' were still awake and I went upstairs to tell you to go to bed. I heard you say, 'Toothless' and I stopped in front of your door. I heard the whole conversation between you two, and then you stopped and I didn't hear anything. I had to assume that you two had…" he trailed off.
"Kissed?" Hiccup gave a weak smirk. "Then you assumed correctly." He sighed and closed his eyes.
"I was upset because I couldn't believe that your dragon had kissed you. I'm still concerned, but only because I'm afraid of what people are going to think."
"I really don't care what people think of this. I'm going to tell them sooner or later, but not until I'm feeling better." Hiccup's face calmed. He looked like he was asleep and his breathing sounded shallow.
The minutes Stoick turned, Hiccup jerked up in his bed and started coughing, hurling in the process. Once he stopped, he lay back down, uncontrollably shivering. Stoick put a hand to his forehead-which was absolutely covered in glistening sweat, despite his coldness-and grimaced.
"Fever," he muttered. I think I might have an idea as to what he has, but I'm going to check with the medicine man just in case." Another thing I should mention, we have a medicine man and a medicine woman. I've mentioned both in the past.
Stoick started to walk out, but Astrid grabbed his arm.
"What do you think he has?" she whispered, although I could hear her perfectly.
"I don't know for sure, but I think he might have pneumonia." He whispered back. I'd heard of that. Sometimes people ended up dieing from it.
Oh gods, no. I don't think I can handle Hiccup being on the verge of death again!
"Oh…" Astrid's arm dropped limply to her side. I put my snout on Hiccup's cheek and whimpered. He tried to smile and his eyes closed.
"It's…it's gonna be…oh…ah…" he drifted off into sleep.
"Okay." I finished for him. It had to be okay. If he died, I would have nothing to live for either. I felt Iratze's hand on my head. "I'm sorry I turned you into a human."
"You didn't mean to," he said. "And it's actually kind of cool."
I looked away, knowing that he was probably lying through his teeth. I then remembered that Astrid was in the room. She backed up and sat on the floor at the foot of the bed. The next thing I knew, Iratze was walking slowly over to him.
Was he…worried?
Iratze POV
The Astrid girl…
She seemed really scared and worried. Not as much as Toothless, but still. I felt like it was my job to at least comfort her. Seeing as she was so worried about Hiccup, I would say that he's a really good friend of hers. I found myself walking over to her as she sat down at the foot of Hiccup's bed.
That's another thing; how do I know what all these human things are? I only just turned into one! Maybe the same things happened for Toothless.
"Are…you okay?" I asked, crouching next to Astrid. She looked over at me with surprised eyes, jumping a little. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."
"You didn't scare me!" she hit me. Jeez, all I did was apologize! "Nothing ever scares me, you got that?" I nodded quickly, finally sitting down and rubbing my arm where she had hit me. She sighed. "I really don't know if I'm okay. Hiccup is one of my closest friends. If I dies then I don't know what I'll do. If he has what me and his Dad think he has, then he has a pretty likely chance of not surviving." She then whispered, "It's gotta be harder for Toothless, though, considering she loves him." I flinched a little. "You alright?"
"I…I'm fine," I said. "I'm still a little weirded out by that. I try not to act surprised around her, but it kind of annoys me that she picked a human over me."
"You like Toothless?" she asked.
"I think it's more like love." I could talk normally now, since Toothless was asleep.
"Don't worry. You'll move on." Astrid smiled. "Gods know I did. I really didn't have much of a hard time when Hiccup broke up with me." I blinked in surprise. "Or even when I found out he loved Toothless. Probably because I never actually loved him. I just haven't found someone."
Astrid seemed like the kind of girl who was tough, but had a sort of soft side. She was actually really pretty for a female.
But…that doesn't change the fact that I want to go back to being a human.
Does it?
Well, that's it for this chapter. So, the weird thing is, chapter 7 and this chapter right here, are supposed to be one whole chapter put together. But it was so long that I decided to cut it in half and make it two different chapters. BUT WAIT! There is a third part! There is still more of chapter 7, which will most likely be the second to last part of chapter 7. This is probably confusing you all (it's actually confusing me right now too) so I'm going to stop talking.
So sorry I haven't updated in a while. Again, stress and all that other shebang! But good news! I've gotten an A on my last two social studies tests and am starting to understand math, and I got a 21/24 on my language arts project! AAAANNNDDD….WAIT FOR IT….I officially have a boyfriend! His birthday is May 22, so wish him a happy birthday! I DON'T GIVE A CRAP IF YOU DON'T KNOW HIM! Lol, just kidding! But yeah.
Remember the three R's everybody! READ, REVIEW AND RECYCLE!
