~Flashback~
Arnora's pov:
"By mom! I'm going out."
"Just be careful and don't go too far."
"I promise mom!"
With that I left. I ran through town and into the woods. I ran alongside of the mountain and found my favorite spot to sit and relax. I sat down beside a medium sized boulder and looked around me. I felt the breeze on my skin and through my bright red hair. I let out a sigh as I loved to come here before I had to soon return to the safety of the village. Though with all the wild dragons ransacking it, it didn't at all seem safe. I smiled and watched as the leaves blew in the breeze. This was a perfect way to relax.
Snotlout's pov:
"But dad, I'm ready to go and kill dragons!"
"Not yet your not, no your too young."
"That's what you keep saying!"
"And it's the way it's going to stay."
"But dad!"
"NO!"
I walked off disappointed. I walked outside to see Gobber working with Hiccup in the blacksmith's shop. Well at least I'm not like that scrawny twig that's the chiefs own son. I shook my head and looked around. I saw the forest where the dragons were. I felt like it was calling me. That's it, I thought, I would prove my dad wrong! I'll go out and kill me a dragon! Then he'll have to listen to me! I crept to the blacksmith's shop and carefully grabbed me a sword. Making sure no one saw me I took off into the woods. My dad would be so proud of me once I killed my first dragon!
Arnora's pov:
I was still in my spot when I heard something coming. I ducked behind the boulder. It was a tight squeeze but I was able to fit. I then waited for whatever was coming. I sighed in relief as it was one of the Vikings sons. He was welding a sword. He's probably looking for dragons. I slowly stood up and he turned to see what it was. I smiled at him and said,
"Hi there."
"What are you doing out here?"
"I always come out here."
"Why?"
"I don't know, it relaxes me."
"It relaxes you to hide behind a boulder?"
I giggled and shook my head, I saw him blush when I giggled.
"No I hide when I heard you coming. I thought it was a dragon."
"Oh well no it was just me."
I giggled again.
"I see that now."
We stood in silence. We were both blushing. Then he spoke up.
"Well I'm uh Snotlout."
"I'm Arnora."
"That's beautiful."
I blushed hard and hid my face some. I could tell that he was blushing to as he put his free hand behind his head. Just then we heard a rustling in the bush next to us. We turned to see a gronkle making its way towards us. I gasped as I saw Snotlout stand in front of me and held his sword up.
"Run."
I heard him whisper to me. I tried to get out of the confined space I was in but I tripped and fell hard on the ground. I turned back to see Snotlout trying to fight off the dragon. I tried to get up but I couldn't move my ankle. It hurt so bad.
"Snotlout! I can't move!"
I saw him look back at me before he was knocked over by the gronkle. It sent him scrapping over the ground before it turned its attention to me. I froze as it opened it's mouth to fire. We were doomed, I thought.
Snotlout's pov:
I had just hit the ground hard. I slowly looked around to see that the dragon was about to fire at Arnora. She was frozen in place. I gripped my sword and got up. I then quickly ran over to the dragon and slashed one of its wings clean off. This made it roar in pain and fly lopsided. Seizing the chance I picked up Arnora ad began to run. But more dragons had appeared. They were blocking our way back to the village. I couldn't fight them all off and protect Arnora. I then ran past the still lopsided dragon and farther into the woods.
I had run for a while but the dragons were chasing us. I looked around but I saw nothing we could use to hide. It was then I looked upwards to see if I could climb the mountain side. I saw some boulders I could use. So I gripped Arnora tighter and started climbing. I got up to the top of the last boulder before I saw a small crack in between the wall and rock. I was able to squeeze us both in before the dragons caught up. Looks like we were going to be here for a while.
Arnora's pov:
I slowly regained myself. I looked around but I wasn't outside or where I had been. I saw Snotlout, he was looking outside a crack that was letting in some sunlight. I slowly got up only to have him turn around and put his finger to his lips. I nodded and crept closer to him. I saw dragons outside, one had its wing cut off. I looked at Snotlout and he looked back at me before slowly walking to the back of the cave. I followed. We sat in the back and whispered softly. He told me what all happened after I froze. I couldn't help but smile. He saved my life. He saw me smiling and smiled back.
"Thank you Snotlout."
"For what?"
"For saving me. That was very brave of you."
I saw him blush. He looked so cute like that. I smiled and kissed his cheek. From that I saw him really turn red. I giggled and leaned against him. He wrapped his arm around me and we continued to talk. We talked about everything and even shared a few of our deepest darkest thoughts and feelings. We promised each other that this was going to be our secret place. I was growing tired and I saw he was too. We decided that since it was safe here, to just wait until tomorrow to go back. I snuggled into Snotlout's chest and drifted off to sleep.
Snotlout's pov:
Arnora was asleep on my chest. I was getting tired too. I placed the sword beside us and wrapped my arm around her tighter before I too fell asleep.
