Chapter 12
Anna's P.O.V. (Now morning in Berk...)
"ROAR!" Was the first thing I heard as I jumped up, scared shitless (pardon my French... Again XD). 'What was that!?' I asked an even more scared Tori, 'dragon' was the whispered reply. My eyes widened in shock as nervousness kicked in. I walked over to the entrance of the cave and took a couple steps forward into the sunlight, happy that the bright rays weren't as hot as the usual Australian weather and had to remind myself several times that I wasn't in Australia, and that I was in Berk, an island full of Vikings and Dragons so it would probably be a usual occurrence if there were sudden outbursts from the large animals.
(A/N: I am fully against animal cruelty and would go vegetarian if my mum didn't threaten to force feed me meat since if I don't get enough iron in my blood stream then I will die... Sad, I know, but necessary. :()
But when I went to look around I immediately saw what caused my rude awakening. By the lake looking at his reflection was a snow white (cliche, I know XD) night fury. The reason I knew it was a night fury was because when I was 10 I got hooked on dragon books. I pretty much was a dragonologist and proud! :)
The night fury was staring at his reflection, wide-eyed and mouth hanging open. When I walked toward him to get a closer look the night fury quickly looked in my direction and I froze (ha-ha! And, yes, pun intended if you already guessed who the 'snow' white dragon is XD), now seeing its crystal blue eyes with flakes of silver, as if there were snow flakes in his eyes.
"Jack? Is that you?" I said, my amusement showing full ball when he gave me 'the look'. It only make me laugh harder when he tried to walk, or waddle, no I definitely think he was trying to walk. "I honestly don't see why you couldn't be a flying lizard instead" Jack said, which surprised me until I remembered that one of my many useful powers was talking to animals. But my surprise quickly turned into my usual 'happy go lucky' attitude with the occasional brooding. "Actually, you are a dragon, night fury to be exact" I explained, sounding a lot like those British (not being racist or anything but WOW are they smart! :)) professors on TV.
Jack simply rolled his eyes before he turned to the left and got into a defensive position. At least that was until we saw two ebony colored dragons tumble out of the bushes with a yelp from the bigger one. Both were smaller than Jack but the smallest one looked female and was the size of a toddler. I smiled and jogged over to them, picking up the small girl dragon. "Hello Danielle, how was your nap?" I asked her in a gentle tone, rocking her back and forth, all the while her eyes drooped so that her clear blue eyes were half lidded and threatening to close.
When I was sure that the young 'girl' was asleep I turned to the now sitting night furys' who were patiently waiting and swishing their tails to keep them selves occupied. "So, I bet you're wonderin' what's going on and why you guys are 'flying lizards' as Jack so creatively put it." I said, still rocking Danielle to keep her asleep. I chuckled quietly as Danny whispered to Jack "flying lizards? Really?" While Jack replied "we'll excuse me for pointing out the obvious". I then realized that they only had teeth when they were talking but other times they were toothless. Jack suddenly looked alarmed as he started to look around, "where's Baby Tooth!" He exclaimed. He looked around a bit more until I finally had enough and told him "she's with Tooth. They're safely in the secluded parts of the island and Clockwork will make sure that Pitch won't be able to find them". Jack calmed down and him and Danny resumed whispering as I continued to rock Dani in a rhythmic pattern and all was peaceful. At least for a few minutes or so...
There was noise from behind us like a throat being cleared and we all (minus Dani) turned our attention on the new arrival(s). There was a black night fury with icy green eyes that glowed a little and a tall, skinny boy with freckles, auburn floppy hair and forest green eyes. "Hi" I said, unable to do a waving gesture with the baby dragon in my arms. The black night fury seemed to notice and started to growl. I rolled my eyes and looked toward Danny saying in the language of the ice cores (A/N: that's what I've decided to call them) "I'm going to go into the shade so that the sun doesn't bother her" looking down at Dani before moving into the shade of a nearby tree which was behind the two 'dragons'. Jack also seemed to understand me when I spoke in the foreign language and stood up as best he could, Danny mirroring his actions.
"Who are you?" The boy said, completely ignoring the two large dragons protecting me and Dani while watching me closely as I grabbed a thin and foldable blanket from the front pocket of my jeans, carefully laying it on top of Dani's curled up body. "Who are you?" I countered, hoping to get as much answers from him as much as he me. "I asked first" he shot back smugly, thinking that he had won in a battle of wits. "And I'm paranoid" I continued, playing along with his little game, frowning only when Danny and Jack started to laugh. "Well it's true!" I exclaimed, now rolling my eyes. "Well, your paranoia did get us out of the GIW's holding prison" Danny said, looking as if that explained everything. "Exactly!" I said, triumphant tone echoing a little since Tori was also agreeing. The opposing black dragon looked alarmed when I started to hold up a conversation with the dragons and looked at me quizzically, whispering slowly "can you really understand us?" All the while relaxing from his pouncing position and standing up straight.
I nodded, smiling slightly as I yawned. "I'm Hiccup" said Hiccup, now relaxing once he saw that his dragon was comfortable. "I am Toothless" said the shiny black dragon in front of my small group. I nodded, processing the information for later use. "Would your dragons like to fish? You know, cause that's all they eat really." Hiccup rambled but once he stopped the two 'dragons' went with Toothless toward the lake and the training began.
Hiccup sat next to me and looked over to the baby looking Dragon in my arms. "Sooooo, what's her name?" Hiccup asked, obviously trying to break the awkward silence. "Danielle,"I said "but she likes to be called Dani for short, you know, like Dani with an 'I'" I added, now stroking Dani's head in a rhythmic pattern. "That's a strange name" Hiccup commented but when I looked at him with a raised eye brow and my usual smirk he hastily added "bu-bu-but I me-mean i-it's" before I started laughing, Danielle finally waking up. "It's a Pretty name" he finished lamely, now blushing and looking down. "Hey Danielle, did you hear what he said about your name? He said it's pretty" I told Dani in a happy voice. Danielle made a 'thank you' noise before looking up at me with the CUTEST puppy dog face on the earth! "Awwwe! Are you hungry?" I said in a 'OMG! You're so cute I wanna cuddle you!' voice. "What do you think, genius?" She said, her voice at a normal pitch. "I think we should get some blue flamingos and do the tango while bobbing for apples!" I said excitedly, Hiccup raising an eyebrow at my random spurt of awesomeness. Dani face palmed. "You know what? I don't even wanna know how you came up with that one." Dani said exasperated.
"You can understand her?" Asked a bewildered Hiccup, excitement written all over his face. "Yup! You bet your boots on that! It's a gift." I said, my happy-go-lucky attitude showing full ball as I started bouncing up and down as high as I could from my sitting position, big grin and eyes sparkling. I then stopped my childish behavior and looked up at the sky. I looked at the sun which was high in the sky above us and realized something. "The sun and the moon" I whispered, a small frown placed on my lips as I thought of where I had heard it before. "What?" Asked a curious Hiccup, clearly surprised at my sudden change in attitude. "It was a riddle I heard when I was little. It was when the visions first started up." I said in a sad voice. Dani saw my distress and cuddled me. I smiled and cuddled back. "Hey Anna, why does Danielle (growl from Dani) have that glowing necklace?" Hiccup asked, intrigued by the glowing device around the dragon's neck. I went to check if mine was around my neck and was so happy when I discovered that Clockwork had enough decency to re-place it around my neck. "It's a communication device with some added features that I've just been itching to use. They run off the crystals that I found at home, the park, the beach, pretty much all my favorite places to hang out with my friends." I told Hiccup. His interested look intensified as he looked at the necklace. I took mine off and handed it to him. "You look like the kind of guy who could invent stuff, you'd might as well see some of the statistics. But remember, I have to put it back on in 10 minutes or the crystals inside my necklace will lose thier power and I will be vulnerable to any attacks." I told him, making sure to have him listen to every word so that he knows the deadline.
He nodded vigorously, eager smile plastered on his face as he pressed the combination for the installed iPod unknowingly and ended up dropping it out of surprise. I smiled, picking it up and dusting it off before putting it back on my neck. "I, uh, meant to do that." Hiccup said with an awkward smile, only making my smile turn cheeky. "You sure did!" I supplied, grinning like an idiot as his face turned a deep shade of red.
"So Danielle, you wanna start flying?" I asked the now dozing dragon, causing her to leap up into the air and give a "yes!" Whoop as she smiled a cute smile. I nodded and got up, Hiccup stumbling slightly as he tried to jump up ninja style the way I did. When he finally managed to walk straight I was already at the lake thing, Danielle now grinning ear to ear in my arms.I then started to explain what the best course of action would be. Toothless ended up becoming confused as I appeared to be understanding dragon language. "You can understand us?" He asked, a shocked expression plastered on his face, one that included a dropped jaw and wide eyes. "You bet your tail I can!" I said enthusiastically. Toothless just stared at my beaming face and then all of a sudden collapsed. I simply shrugged and turned to the other two dragons and started to giggle as I saw the scene unfold in front of me. Danny was already on the floor laughing while Jack had his tongue stuck to the now half iced up lake. He noticed us looking his way and blushed a pale blue. I raised an eyebrow and flashed my cunning smirk as I started to tease "huh, I didn't know the ever so famous Jack Frost blushed!", giggling a little at the end as his blushed deepened.
...
Jack P.O.V. (Why did I have to freeze the water? WHY!? (XD))
Ok, this has to be the most embarrassing moment of my immortal life. I only wanted a drink of water, but what do I get? MY TONGUE STUCK TO A HALF FROZEN LAKE AND... Anna saw everything. I don't know why but right now I just wanted to dig a hole and stay there in shame. My mood, however, lifted when Anna teased "huh, I didn't know the ever so famous Jack Frost blushed!". At that I simply felt my face turn colder than it already was. My mood was raised even higher as Dani said "well Anna, I guess a prank is in order. And I think I know who would be the perfect victim" and Anna said "oh yes, Danny would be the perfect target" in slightly evil tones. Danny was just starting to get up and didn't hear the exchange between the two girls.
'Ahh! Revenge is sweet!' Was the immediate thought that passed through my brain as I heard the news.
A/N: yes, I now thought of a good couple for the coexisting topics! Anna and Jack! All we now have to do is wait for cute little Dani to grow up and on the way do some other random adventures. From now on I will include Rise of the Guardians characters in this series.
The main characters in this newly formed series are: Anna, Dani, Sam, Tucker, Danny, Dan, North, Tooth, Baby Tooth, Bunny, Jack, Sandy, Pitch (he will somehow always be the reason for something bad happening no matter what some might say!), Jamie (hey! Don't shoot! I have a feeling that it would be interesting if he was in the main group! :)), Sophie (she reminds me of Rupunzel from 'Tangled' with her Blonde hair and Green eyes. SOOO CUTE! XD), and some of Anna's family member(s) (still to be decided on who, if you don't remember any then go to the start of the story cause all of them are mentioned).
REVIEW SO I CAN HAVE SOME FRESH IDEAS!
