Chapter 3 At the Circus

Astrid's POV

That Night

My friends and I were hiding in a forest just outside the circus.

"This is so exciting", Fishlegs stated. "I've never been to a circus before!"

"We're not here for fun Fishlegs", I pointed out. "We're on a mission, so focus on that."

"Yes ma'am!"

One Hour Later

We had to go through a whole hour of boring circus acts before finally...this happened.

"And now ladies and gentlemen, the final event", the ring master said. "Behold! The offspring of lightning and death itself...the Nightfury!"

With that...a dragon was pushed into the ring...and I couldn't believe my eyes.

It was actually a Nightfury!

It looked almost identical to Toothless, but there were a few differences.

One, this Nightfury was covered what looked like whip marks.

Also, it's eyes were red...and full of disappear.

My heart broke seeing this. I could tell that the Nightfury had been through much.

I knew there and then that I had to do something. Looks like I'm turning into Hiccup now.

One Hour Later

My friends and I were back in the forest from before.

"I can't believe that it was actually a Nightfury", Fishlegs said excitedly. "This is amazing!"

"I call dibs", Snotlout said earning a glare from Hookfang.

"So what should we do Astrid", Eret asked.

"I say we go back to Hiccup and ask him what we should do next", I replied.

'Why do we have to ask him what to do", Snotlout asked annoyed.

"Because he's our chief", I pointed out.

"Dang it", Snotlout said.

Then...I heard a scream!

I looked towards the circus...and it was on fire!

"What in the world happened", Eret asked.

"Stay here Stormfly", I told said dragon. "Come on guys!"

With that we all ran towards the fire, and when we got there...I was taken back by what I saw.

The Nightfury was free and was burning the whole place to the ground!

Then...it glared at me.

"Oh no."

As soon as the Nightfury started chasing me I started running as fast as I could.

"Stormfly", I yelled. "Stormfly help!"

The Nightfury continued to chase me, and just when it was about to grab me...Stormfly picked me up and flew me out of danger!

"Good girl", I said before climbing onto her. "We need to get out of here now!"

"But what about the Nightfury", Eret asked.

"There's no way that we're gonna be able to handle it", I stated. "We need Hiccup. If anybody can tame a Nightfury, it's him."

HotXbun: Bet you weren't expecting that we're you.

Challenge: Tell me what you think is going to happen next.

My Answer: Not telling!
