Chapter 11
Okay, here we go. I needed to have a romance chapter, so I put all that jazz into chapter 10. SO Here is a somewhat romantic and somewhat action packed chapter. ENJOY! (and review)
…
It took us a while to prepare for a trip back to Berk, but we finished preparing and removing any trace of our campsite. Hiccup sat on my back while we flew to Berk. He tried to keep a one sided conversation going with Gretchen, but was having limited success. After all, it's pretty hard to have decent length conversation when all you can ask are yes/no questions.
"Jordan, do you think Toothless is okay?" Hiccup asked, "I know he can take care of himself, but I worry that he will get himself into trouble." I shot him a quizzical look, not being able to communicate in dragon form could be rather frustrating sometimes. We, as dragon hybrids, were unable to communicate with each other unless it was to hybrids of the same dragon species, and since we none of our little group were the same species, we could not communicate.
"There it is!" Hiccup shouted gleefully, pointing at a green bump that had appeared on the horizon. I was in for a rough week.
…
When we landed, we received mixed reactions about our presence on Berk. Some cheered when they saw Hiccup, others just stared at us, and some even spat at our feet and stormed off. They had a legit reason I suppose. We continued walking down the street and decided to transform into our human forms so we would be less conspicuous. The injured girl tumbled off my back when I had finished transforming. I had forgotten she was with us. She groaned and sat up, blinking like an owl.
"Ugh, I feel like I just banged my head on a door frame," she stopped and looked around for a moment and a fearful expression worked its way onto her face, "Where am I? The guards, the other dragons..." She burst into tears and started crying on my shoulder. Gretchen did not look happy, with her eyes narrowed and a low rumble in the back of her throat, she looked like she was going to tear someone apart. Oh my God, she was so jealous.
"You are safe now." I told her, "Nobody is going to hurt you." Gretchen gave me the evil eye. I ignored it. Several of the villagers who were drawn by the commotion, muttered something about how they WOULD hurt her if she stepped out of line. Jeez, I wished they would lay off the threats until she at the very least got to know Brett, Crusoe, June, me, and Gretchen.
"C'mon, Jordan we have to go meet June and the others at the cove. " June said, even she was put off a bit by what was transpiring on the street, "Hiccup is already waiting for us."
…
Toothless awoke to voices, unfamiliar voices, but voices nonetheless. He knew that it could be Vikings or Romans. Hopefully Vikings. He gave out a loud roar, several shouts followed, and lo and behold, Hiccup came running up the hill with a look of pure happiness on his face. Hiccup's face turned from happiness to concern and worry when he saw Toothless' legs.
"Hey Hiccup what's with all the ruckus?" a strangely familiar voice shouted up the hill, "June is waiting…" The speaker hurried up the hill. Toothless did not recognize the speaker, but he did know the girl limping behind him. His sister, the young hybrid, he had not seen her in a long time. In fact, he had thought she was dead, but here she was. When his mother had learned she was part human, she had driven her out of the cave his family had shared. He had been to young to understand that she would been the cause of his family's exile from the Night Fury clan if she wasn't left to die on some forsaken island.
Her cry of "Brother!" and her tackling him in a joyful hug was not what he would have expected.
…
Okay, I wasn't sure what to make of this. We had found Hiccup's dragon, and apparently this girl was a dragon hybrid. (I honestly don't know why I felt otherwise.) I was guessing she was a dragon-born, but she and Brett were… oh no, the next dragon hybrid would be born in the modern world. And within the next month, the government would kidnap the baby from its parents and subject it to horrible tests. We had to get back soon.
