Hello everyone. I'm back again. Please enjoy the following chapters and leave a review so that I can improve my stories. Just for a reminder, this chapter will contain some profanities.
Chapter 11:
"Saddle up, young Vikings," Astrid jumped onto the back of Stormfly.
The new riders were standing by their dragons, holding their swords or axes in their hands. After they received the instruction, they obeyed it. Hiccup was testing his Inferno. The sword released some sparks of fire when he checked the strength of the sword.
"Hey, you coming?" Astrid shouted at Hiccup.
"Oh, yes of course," Hiccup answered as he climbed onto the back of Toothless and placed his prosthetic leg into position, "Come on bud."
The Night Fury gave a yawn because Hiccup just woke him from his nap and slapped his rider with his right ear.
"Don't even start it. I will give you enough time for your nap after we come back," Hiccup said as he patted Toothless' head.
Toothless grunted and stretched his wings.
"Uhhh, Ms. Hofferson," a new rider raised her hand in the air. After Astrid became the trainer, the new riders were scared of her iron-grip rules so that they started calling Astrid Ms. Hofferson. "Can Mr. Haddock lead this mission?"
"Why?" Astrid raised her voice.
"Well, I think he is the real trainer, and you technically overthrew his position," another girl said.
"Trinianka, we talked about this!" shouted Astrid, "I didn't overthrow him."
"You did! " the girl whose name was Trinianka objected.
"I didn't! "
"You did ! Don't lie to us. We all saw it!"
Astrid held up her ax in front of Trinianka, "Don't argue with me, or I will chop you into pieces. Now shut your fucking mouth up."
"Try all you have, Missy," Trinianka responded, staring straight into Astrid's eyes.
"Ladies, ladies," Hiccup finally decided to put this into an end. He put Astrid's ax down, "We are a team. We are one. Now calm down, both of you."
"Yeah, easy for you to say," Astrid crossed her arms.
"I think you should control your crazy, wild, bitchy girlfriend first," Trinianka said, pointing at Astrid.
The other girls gasped with surprise. That wasn't something they should say toward Astrid and Hiccup on this island. They all knew that in order to get some valuable training, they needed to at least show some respect to both Astrid and Hiccup.
"Trinianka! Did you lost your mind?" Nigerlina said and she tried to pull Trinianka away and said to Astrid and Hiccup with an apology, "I'm so sorry, she is not feeling well today."
Before Trinianka could say something in response, Astrid threw a punch on Trinianka's jaw. Trinianka fell down from her Nadder under Astrid's furious attack. Astrid was gentle on her this time. When Snotlout provoked her before, she actually whipped the crap out of him.
"That's it, you are expelled from this team," Astrid shouted at Trinianka, " And, watch your stupid mouth from now on."
Trinianka didn't give in. She picked up her sword and flung it towards Astrid with such a violent that the sword slightly quivered in the air. Astrid turned her body and dodged the flying sword and caught the handle of the sword in her left hand when it flew past her.
Years of training and fightings gave her this ability. Even Stoick could not say that he could easily defeat her in any kinds of sword fighting.
"Did you try to murder me?" asked Astrid stonily.
Without thinking, Hiccup dove down towards Trinianka and tackled her to the ground just to make sure that she wouldn't do any more harm. She was still resisting beneath him even though Hiccup was strong enough to control her.
"Trinianka, you need to calm down! What's wrong with you today?" Hiccup shouted.
None of the seven girls tried to defend for Trinianka. They all knew that physically antagonize their leaders was strictly prohibited on Berk. Years ago, when a Viking decided to assassinate Stoick because he thought that Stoick's way of ruling was driving him crazy. Gobber chopped that Viking into four pieces before he could stab his dagger into Stoick's heart.
"You nasty bastard! "yelled Trinianka.
"That's it. Hiccup, lock her up," Astrid said with extreme vexation on her face.
Hiccup hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to throw Trinianka into Berk's dungeon. He knew that Trinianka had dragon-training talents within her, and he discovered that during the training.
"What? You want to join her?" asked Astrid to Hiccup. She still had furious in her, and Hiccup realized that it wasn't the time to correct Astrid's decision, and he will release Trinianka anyway. He picked Trinianka up from the ground and gave a gentle push on her back, "Come on, let's go."
The other girls watched as Toothless accompanied Hiccup and Trinianka to the far side of the island of Berk. The Vikings built a small dungeon by the shoreline years ago in order to keep the captures from battles, and Stoick assigned Bucket and Mulch as the guards of the dungeon.
"She should stop being so bossy," Trinianka complained to Hiccup.
"Sorry, young lady," Hiccup shrugged, "That's her characteristic. Before I tried to resist it but failed."
"No, I mean, during training, she didn't allow us to have any disagreements. And we obeyed her just because she would punish us physically if we didn't."
Hiccup didn't respond, the pair walked silently to the entrance of the dungeon. He was surprised that Trinianka didn't resist to go to the dungeon. He recalled once that when Bucket and Mulch nearly got threw into the sea when they were bringing a capture into the dungeon.
"You don't want to… well, defend for yourself or something?" Hiccup asked, "You seemed pretty ok for going to the dungeon."
"Well, we need to take the consequences of our actions, right? And I don't think I stand a chance in front of the future chief of Berk and a Night Fury," Trinianka gave Toothless a gentle touch on the head.
Toothless wasn't paying attention to their trip to the dungeon. He was maybe daydreaming of the rights of the world. His prosthetic wing made some mild tinkling sound while walking.
Hiccup gazed at Trinianka. Just a couple of minutes ago, she was a furious Viking who tried to kill her leader, but right now she became a tender girl who was wandering around in a forest.
The aged wooden floor gave a creaking sound when Bucket and Mulch stepped out to greet Hiccup and Trinianka. They were looking wore out and covered with dust.
"Whoa, what happened to you two?" Hiccup asked.
"This place needs some maintenances, so Stoick sent us to reinforce the dungeon for the war," Bucket responded as he was leaning onto Mulch, "Can I help you two."
"Well, I'm here to lock her up," Hiccup said.
"Why? What did she do?" Mulch pointed at the black-hair girl beside Hiccup, "She looks like the kind of Viking who would never get into any trouble."
"Well, Astrid would throw me into the dungeon as well if I don't lock her up," Hiccup chuckled.
"So we are just playing a game, right?" Mulch asked.
"Yeah, after Astrid released her anger, I will be here to pick her up."
