Guys, can you please let me know if I am putting too much dialogue in? Anyway, thanks for the reviews and here's Chapter 10!
Toothless' POV
I was waiting for Hiccup to come back, but it took her longer than usual. It usually only takes her about 30 minutes to an hour. She's been gone for 4 hours. I was really starting to get worried. What if she got attacked and burned to death or something. I didn't want her to get hurt. And I know it's against everything that dragons stand for, but she's the closest thing I can call to a friend. And she gave my flight back. I sighed and put my head down, waiting for my rider. After about 10 minutes, I heard a twig snap. I raised my head and to my surprise, Hiccup was standing right in front of me. I tackled her to the ground trying to get an answer of why she was late.
*Don't you DARE try to scare me like that again!* I tried to look as angry as possible, but I couldn't do that with Hiccup. So I just nuzzled her neck and waited for her to respond.
"Sorry, bud." she said while trying to get out from under me. "My dad got back from the nest, and I wanted him to see me train, and it went on a little longer than usual."
*A little? You were gone for FOUR GOD DAMN HOURS! I thought you died or something!*
"Well, I'm completely alive and I brought fish."
She knows my weakness. I carefully got off of her and dashed for the fish. I tipped the basket over and to my surprise, and an EEL was there. Right in the fish! I caught one scent of it and backed away hissing.
*EEL!*
"Shit." she ran over to the basket, threw the eel away and turned back to me. "Sorry bud. I really thought there were no eels in there."
*It's fine. As long as I don't eat eels, I'm fine.*
"Why?"
*I'm allergic to eels.*
Hiccup's POV
"Alright, well, it's gone and you can keep eating."
He nodded and I sat against the wall and looked through my journal. I looked through each picture that I drew. I was happy with every picture I drew, except for one. My dad and I were having a fight about why I would be trusting a Night Fury. Then on the next page, was me disowned. I had forgotten that I drew my worst fear. It was the one thing that truly scared me. I really wished I hadn't drawn that. It made me really sad to think about it. I closed my journal and saw Toothless sitting in front of me. "I suppose you want to see what's in here." he nodded. "Alright." I showed him page after page of each of my drawings, but skipped the bad one I drew, and he noticed.
*Skipped a page.*
I sighed and showed him the page I skipped. It didn't seem like he liked that picture.
*That's what your afraid of?*
"Yep. That's is my worst fear."
"What is?" a new voice asked.
3rd POV
Hiccup quickly stood up and Toothless got ready to attack.
"Stay here bud." said Hiccup. Toothless stayed but remained ready to fight. Hiccup walked out of the cave and saw Asher walking towards the cave with his ax at hand. "Asher, what are you doing here?"
*Asher?* thought Toothless. *He's one of the people that hurt Hiccup.*
"Well," said Asher. "I wanted to see where you run off to. And I see why now. This place is pretty comforting."
"Yes it is, so see you back at the village." Hiccup tried to shove him out of the cove, but he wouldn't budge. Instead, he shoved her out of the way and kept walking around. Hiccup landed in the pond and came up sputtering. She shook the water out of her hair and moved him away from the cave that Toothless was in. But without knowing, Toothless let out a warning growl and slowly stepped out of the cave. Asher heard the growl and looked over to the cave, and what he saw startled him. He saw a black scaled dragon with acid green eyes and a brown prosthetic tailfin on the left side of his tail.
"Get down!" he shouted as he pulled Hiccup to the ground. This angered Toothless even more and he charged towards Asher. Asher stood up and got ready to attack. He was about to swing his ax when Hiccup took him down and tossed his ax away. She then stood between the small gap between Toothless and Asher and calmed the angry dragon.
"It's okay, bud. It's okay. He's a friend." she cooed to the dragon. He settled down, but only a little. He still wanted to rip the blonde hair boy into smithereens.
*HOW IS HE A FRIEND?! HE JUST ATTACKED YOU! HOW DARE YOU ATTACK HER?!* the dragon shouted.
"Asher, you scared him." Hiccup told the blonde boy.
"I scared HIM?" he asked totally startled and confused. "Who, is HIM?"
"Um...Asher, Toothless. Toothless, Asher." Toothless growled at him and bared his teeth. Asher just shook his head and he sprinted out of the cove. "Da, da, da, we're dead." Toothless just mumbled something and walked back to the cave. "Hey, where do you think you're going?"
*To sleep.*
"No your not." She jumped onto the saddle. "We are going after him. If we don't, then he's going to tell the village about you."
*Fine.*
They took off into the air in search of Asher. It didn't take them long before they picked him up off of the ground. He was screaming as high as he could while hanging onto the paws that picked him up for dear life. Hiccup and Toothless dropped him on a high branch up in a tree. Toothless landed at the top and bent the tree.
"HICCUP!" Asher screamed. "Get me down from here!"
"You have to give me a chance to explain!" she shouted back.
"I am not listening to ANYTHING you have to say!"
"Then I won't speak. Just let me show you. Please Asher."
Asher pulled himself up and got onto Toothless.
"Now get me down."
"Toothless, down. Gently." Toothless slowly opened his wings. "See? Nothing to be afraid of."
*Sorry, Hiccup.*
"What? WOAH!" Asher was screaming yet again for the third time today. "TOOTHLESS! What are you doing?! Bad dragon!" Asher had finally gotten a hold on Hiccup and was holding on for dear life as the dipped down in the air. "Oh no." They soared down over and under the ocean waves. "Toothless, what are you doing? We need him to like us!"
*Just wait for it.*
They twisted up into and upward spiral.
"And now he's spinning." she said completely calmly. Toothless then dove into a crazy spinning dive. "Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile."
"Okay! Okay. I'm sorry! Just get me off of this thing." Asher shouted, afraid of what the dragon was going to do next.
*That is what I was waiting for.*
Toothless straightened out and flew smoothly into the sky. Asher was still holding onto Hiccup for dear life, but he smoothed out when he realized they weren't about to fall to their death. He looked up at the clouds and calmed down. They flew along the clouds for a while and they shifted to get a good look of Berk. They flew around the island and moved away in case anyone would notice. Then they were flying straight across the sea.
"Alright," said Asher. "That was pretty cool. Oh, Hiccup."
"Yeah?" she replied.
"Who's going to go against the Monstrous Nightmare tomorrow?"
"That will be decided by Gothi. I am not allowed to choose. I am only allowed to train. She's going to choose between you and Snotlout."
*Uh...Hiccup?*
"What's wrong, bud?"
*Will it be okay if I show you and Asher the Purple Horror?*
"Um...Asher?"
"Yeah?" he replied.
"Do you mind seeing the nest? And if you do? You cannot tell anyone about it."
"Alright."
"Go Toothless."
*Here we go. Follow my lead.*
Toothless told Hiccup which way they were going. It took them a couple minutes before they were inside Dragon Island. Toothless found a ledge to hide behind in case the Purple Horror showed up. He did not want his rider to be dragon food. All the other dragons dropped in their food and flew away quickly. But a poor Gronckle dropped in a small fish and got eaten. All the dragons backed away from the depths of the volcano, trying to hide from the Purple Horror. The huge dragon snatched up the Gronckle and sunk back into the depths. But it soon came back up as it smelled the humans on Toothless' back. When Hiccup saw the huge dragon, she thought, 'I feel like changing my mind about fighting that thing.' the Purple Horror slowly rose up, looking at the humans. Hiccup bent forward and Toothless got the signal. They sped out of the nest and away from the island. They made it safely back to the cove. Asher quickly got off of Toothless but Hiccup stayed on. She was laying down, trying to understand, what the heck just happened.
Hope you enjoyed! And again, can you guys please tell me if I'm putting in too much dialogue? And review after reading!
