Author's note
Hi! I am so sorry it took so long to post this! I have been really busy and Covid-19 hasn't been helping with all the stress. But luckily for y'all I am in quarantine so I will post the next chapter sometime in the next few weeks. Slight swearing in this chapter. Their will also is a new point of view in this story. Also some of this is unrealistic, Like how no one notices that Bethany and Luna are alive. I AM AWARE! Lets just pretend that the people in this story don't pay attention to their surroundings. Enjoy!
*Next Day*
*Luna POV*
As the sun rose and dawn came upon the trees and the earth was covered in a warm glow that seeped into the ground. A pair of light blue eyes fluttered open and looked around slowly as sunlight seeped past the stone boulder that two dragons were behind.
Luna gave a long yawn and looked around remembering where she was. Immediately she turned to the other sleeping dragon beside her, snoring quite loudly. Luna groaned in annoyance and looked at Bethany and nudged her lightly. Their was as no response.
Luna growled and nudged her more roughly. Still no reaction. Once again Luna growled in annoyance and got into a crouch and lunged at Bethany. Not meant to harm her in any way.
Bethany yowled as Luna landed onto her stomach and knocked the wind out of the other Night Fury. With a jolt Bethany woke up and gasped and turned to Luna with a scowl on her face.
"What in FRICKS name was that for!? ITS SUNRISE!" Bethany yowled in obvious frustration as Luna looked at her with a blank stare. Regretting why she ever brought Bethany with her in the first place.
Luna took in a deep breath and sighed, "It would be best if we can find a way to get into the convention and find Cressida as soon as possible." Luna stated calmly.
"How do we do that, and WHY do we need to prepare this early?!" Bethany growled and sat up groggily. Bethany's large shoulders slumped and there were bags under the dragon's green eyes.
"Well, have you ever thought about the fact that it might not be easier to get inside the convention? We have to find a way inside, AND we have to find a way to make ourselves look less realistic than we are." Luna murmured remembering her reflection from the pool. She looked a lot similar to Toothless in How To Train Your Dragon 3. Except her scales were more realistic, and her eyes and ears were a slightly different shape. Long with her size and weight, she was slimmer and her frills where smoother then Toothless's.
Luna snapped out of her reflection and looked at Bethany as she groaned loudly. Slumping beside the boulder they slept under as if the boulder would suck her inside "Can we get this over with so I can find a way to go home? It sucks being a dragon, I'm tired, and cold, and hungry! I'd rather prefer to go to school and do all the homework in the world for a whole day!" Bethany said.
Luna sighed deeply and looked around the forest, trying to think of what to say to Bethany. She smelled the damp earth and pine needles and felt calmer.
A memory seeped into her mind, she was no longer in the sunny forest. instead she was in a thick blizzard, making her shiver. Luna looked around, confused. She was in a pine forest. In front of her was a young girl with light blue eyes. The girl's eyes were wide with fear. The child cried for help, there was no response. Luna tried to call out to the girl. But no sound came out. She Night Fury turned as she heard a rustle in an old raspberry bush.
Gleaming eyes were watching the child, like a cat stalking a mouse. The girl gasped in fear and held onto the mouse stuffy she had in her hands. The bushes spread apart and a dragon walked out. Its eyes gleamed and its scales were white with shimmers of blue, a light fury was walking smooth and elegantly. The dragon's eyes looked like the moon's orbs. The girl jumped back, wailing in fear. The dragon gave a sympathetic yet confused purr. The Light fury nudged the girl and the girl whimpered and looked up. Shivering from the snow plastered on the ground and the snowflakes falling onto her face. The girl shook as the dragon nudged her. Soon the girl and dragon where looking at each other.
The Light Fury nudged her and the girl followed hesitantly. As they walked the dragon opened its wings to protect the child from the worst of the storm. No sounds could be heard but the breathing of the two beings. The finally, the forest became less thick and the woods came out to a clearing. Many people were calling from far away. The dragon nudged a girl and she started to run the voices. A woman saw the girl and ran up to her and embraced her into a tight hug. Luna turned back to the dragon, it was blended into the snow. But she could see its glittering eyes as it disappeared. The memory faded from her mind and turned to Bethany. Not trying to show that there was something wrong. Luna turned back to Bethany, slightly confused ."I-I know that's not true, you can't even stand to do one sheet of work, and you know it." Luna said in a calm yet threatening tone.
Bethany snorted and looked away, obviously not wanting to challenge her anymore. Luna snorted and sniffed, shaking her head getting the memory away from her head. "Last night I found a path that led to the city, if we follow it we have a chance of finding out the way there," Luna said walking past Bethany and going the direction she remembered the trail to be. Luna's wings tucked into her sides and her tail swayed.
Bethany followed hesitantly, looking at Luna she murmured. "I miss my family, my sister and mother will be so worried about me. I want to wake up with my cat snuggled up beside me." Bethany looked at her. "I'm sorry I have been so troublesome, I just can't imagine how this came to be, I'm not special, and I'm not meant to be a dragon, I just want to go home'. Bethany said walking beside Luna.
Luna sighed quietly. "I know how you feel, but this is happening, and neither of us can change that, I have a feeling Cressida will know nothing, but we can hope, I can't do nothing, I have a family too, my little brother and sister, my mom and dad. I have to keep them in check, ya know?' She said and chuckled sadly.
They both padded through the thick forest silently just giving light sideways glances at each other. They saw a path and wearily followed it until they came to a clearing where the forest ended. The city sparkled as the sunlight came up from behind the large buildings. The two dragons looked around making sure no one was near. They ran towards the large dome building. On a table close to a large dome building there was a table with supplies, many cardboard boxes and paper, inside the cardboard boxes there were pens and how to train your dragon merchandise. Including multiple writing materials and toys.
Luna felt tapping on her shoulder and she turned to Bethany who was pointing to a truck. On the outside, there was a picture of hiccup and toothless and on the top, in big bold letters, it said: "How To Train Your Dragon." Luna smiled at Bethany. "Good find." she said walking over to the truck and making sure no one was in the driver's seat. "Wait, how will we get into the convention again?" Bethany asked and looked around once again to make sure no one saw them.
"That's simple, we just act like statues or whatever and then we will be put in the props." she said. Bethany looked at her and groaned "No one will actually believe that we aren't living and breathing beings! They will be able to see our chest rise and fall, what if we get itchy? Or something terrible happens and we have to move?" Bethany said with a hiss of venom in her voice.
'Then you suck that itchiness up and DO NOT MOVE." Luna said, "This is our best chance, I know that trying to communicate with our parents was an option, but aren't you worried that something terrible might happen if someone else saw us with them?" Luna asked. "Ya, I guess you have a point." Bethany murmured.
Luna sighed and looked at her claws, they were lightly scratching the ground, leaving light marks. Luna's mind clouded in frustration as thoughts rushed in her head. What if Bethany was right? What was that memory? She didn't know what to think. Luna shook the thoughts out of her head once again and with a stern face she went to the back of the truck.
The back was slightly open, as if someone was bringing things back and forth and needed to keep the back open. Bethany looked at her as she signaled for her to follow. Luna lifted up the back of the truck entrance to be confronted with the most how to train your dragon merchandise she had ever seen.
"HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS!" Luna screamed in joy as she jumped into the truck and started to look around, her eyes adjusting to the darkness as she went further back into the truck. "And you tell ME to be quiet….." Bethany growled as she unsteadily followed Luna inside and closed the door to look like no one had come in. The truck was filled with dragon figurines to books and posters, flags, along with key chains and helmets.
Before Luna could scream again she felt a hand grab onto her mouth and saw Bethany glaring at her, "If you don't pipe down, I'm going to tie you up and fucking bang your skull so you get knocked out, got it?" Bethany said for once, being the sensible one.
"Well you'd understand if most of your childhood was around you." Luna whispered, barely being able to not scream in joy again. 'Would it be bad if I could quickly grab something before we kidnap my favorite author?' Luna wondered to herself as she saw an empty spot in the back of the truck and laid down tiredly.
"Let's lay down and take a quick nap until we get to the convention, then when people start bringing the merchandise in we can make a pose." Luna exclaimed as Bethany nodded eagerly and plopped down beside her and closed her eyes. The slim Night fury looked at her friend in astonishment. A surge of warmth took over her as she laid her head onto Bethany's scaly back and closed her eyes as well. Slowly falling asleep beside her.
Luna started to dream of the Snowy forest again, except it was much more vivid, she saw the blue eyes of the Light fury dragon, The girl cold and alone. The Light Furies wings shielding the girl from the blizzard trying to swallow the girl whole. And last her parents find her and the dragon disappearing.
Luna's breath became heavy, and she gasped as she felt a claw touch her shoulder. She jolted up and realized Bethany was looking at her intently. "People are here." her friend whispered. The Two dragons stood up and went into a comfortable sitting position. 'Remember, Keep your breathing Shallow, Don't itch, and most importantly don't make any sudden movements unless I do." Luna said.
"Why do I wait for you, I can do things myself!" Bethany whispered. "It's my plan, I know what's going to happen, if you ever make a plan as messed up as mine then I'll wait for you, but it's not your moment right now." Luna quickly hissed back before three people walked to the back and was them, in comfortable positions, breathing quietly and shallowly.
The darkness revealed three people, A man that Luna had never seen before, he was tall and a little plump in the middle reminding her a little bit of Gobber except that his beard wasn't as long and he didn't have a peg leg. The next person was the one they were looking for, Cressida Cowell. The last person she recognized as The director of the How To Train Your Dragon films in the first place, Dean DeBlois.
Luna did her best not to growl at Dean, She liked the movies, but she felt as though he was a little self centered in her opinion. AND THE WORST PART IS BECAUSE OF HIM THERE ISN'T A HTTYD 4 MOVIE. Luna decided not to get the best of herself and stood still.
The three adults walked around inspecting the different Toys, posters, and other things as if they were priceless monuments of the world. Before looking at the two Night Fury "Statues." Luna could easily see the slight shivering and the horrified look on Bethany's face as they came closer.
Luna glanced at Cressida who was looking at them in a weird way, she didn't even know what it was. It almost looked like the author was trying to make them disappear with her stare. She could also easily tell that Cressida wasn't happy to be at the convention and that she would rather be anywhere else other than there.
Dean came towards Luna and started petting her. He pet her wings, tightly touched her legs, and even stretched the end of her tail out, his hands were soft yet rough, not gentle fleshy hands that she was used to, was this how it felt like to be pet with scales?
The other people soon all smiled at her after touching her all around. Except for Cressida, which had an obvious fake smile. Then they headed towards Bethany and did the same treatment that they did to her. Making Luna glance at her friend for a quick moment, who looked quite uncomfortable with this, and giving Luna a look like saying "Cressida is RIGHT HERE, lets get her NOW."
They looked at each other for another quick moment before Dean said something that sent a shiver up Luna's spine. "These statues are not on the item list."
"I wouldn't worry about it Dean, Sometimes mix ups happen." Said The Gobber like man.
Cressida just stared at both Luna and Bethany, squinting at both of them, obviously not believing they weren't some type of mix felt cold as Cressida turned to Dean to say something, but stopped herself.
Dean just shrugged and continued to inspect Bethany, Luna could easily see her discomfort increase just from her eyes. The three adults left the truck for a few moments and before Luna could turn to Bethany she heard a quiet growl. "Cressida was RIGHT THEIR, why didn't we just take her now?" Bethany asked.
"I-I don't know honestly, I just don't feel like stealing her at that moment was the right way to go." Luna muttered. "Well, it's a good time now, I think we should go now, but you're the OH MIGHTY LEADER." Bethany replied and quickly went back into her statue position as Cressida, dean, and the other man which she decided to call the Gobber man, came back into the back of the truck with a clipboard.
The adults came over again towards them and drew something on the paper that looked like a map of some sort. "You want to put them in the middle of the convention?" Cressida asked, looking frustrated. "Ya, why shouldn't we?" The Gobber man said.
"Because, Clay. That's where my stand is, and that's where the most people are. Don't you think the statues that appeared out of nowhere shouldn't be in the middle of the convention, in fact it shouldn't be in the convention at all!" Cressida said slightly, raising her voice.
"Huh, so the guy's name is Clay, I still wanna call him Gobber man." Luna thought smugly and continued listening to the conversation.
Dean Raised his hand in front of them and looked at Both of them."They look like they are made of strong material, I believe it's just a mix up Cressida, you don't have to worry, we'll just squeeze them in near your booth, everything will be fine." Dean said looking at Cressida with a glint in his eye, Luna SWEARED that the look he was giving Cressida was some type of mockery.
"Should we let people sit on them?" The Gobber man asked. The other two adults glanced at him. "Well, they are a little small, they're barely bigger than we are, so I'd say that we let children Thirteen and under go on it, for photos, we don't have a statue that can do that." Dean exclaimed. "I don't think that's a good idea, The statues don't have any signs that say how much weight they can hold! We should just have them as statues." Cressida exclaimed angrily.
"Well if you aren't to be careful then you try and sit on one of them? You're the thinnest out of all of us." Dean challenged and raised a brow at the female author. 'Fine, I'll try, but if it breaks then I'm blaming that on you!" Cressida said walking up to Luna.
"Oh Fuck, Nononononononononono" Luna thought as Cressida grabbed her neck and jumped onto her back quickly. The clothes had an odd texture when they hit her back. Cressida's weight felt as though Luna was giving her sister a piggyback ride. Except if she was a dragon and her sister was replaced with an angry looking author. Cressida's slim body was almost as big as her own. Her breathing kept steady. But her body wanted to give out, but she kept still.
Finally after what felt like an eternity, Cressida slid off her body and looked at Dean, 'Its material is strong, it should be fine." Cressida murmured and started to head to the door of the truck, with the other two adults following from behind.
After the footsteps could no longer be heard Bethany turned to Luna. "Once again, PERFECT opportunity to bring her away, SHE WAS LITERALLY ON YOUR BACK." Bethany said. "S-Sorry…., I just feel like it would be best if we went into the convention, THEN people will be able to enjoy it, even for a few moments." Luna said. "I also want other children to be happy, not be worried about a big scary dragon until it's the RIGHT TIME." Luna said.
"Welp, your an Idiot, it would be easier if we did this now, but you're the one who is going to make our lives a lot harder.'' Bethany said calmly and laid down. "I'm going to sleep, wake me up when they come back." Bethany said and rested her head, she tried to protest but Bethany was asleep in seconds.
Luckily for Luna she got to bat Bethany's ears a few minutes later. "People are coming to move us, get up!" She whispered. "How do you know it's not the two fat guys and the Author?" Her friend asked. "They smell different, now GET UP." Luna said and went back into a sitting position.
Soon enough the truck door opened once again revealing multiple men and women, they came into the truck and started to take things into the building. Soon enough the moving people noticed the two night fury 'sculptures' and mumbled among themselves for a few seconds and left. A few seconds later they came back with a large Wooden pulley to bring Luna and Bethany into the building.
They first tugged and pushed her onto the pulley, then put Bethany in a separate one. It was hard for her not to move a muscle, In fact she flinched and twitched slightly in discomfort, So did Bethany. Luckily when they did they didn't notice, mainly because they weren't even looking at them.
Once The two dragons were on the platform the moving people started to lift her up with the platform and other people quickly attached wheels on the end. The people put her down and someone attached a rope to the platform and started to pull her down the ramp that was attached to the truck. The same happened to Bethany.
She landed with a thud and her tail slightly moved, the people saw it and moved her tail back,"Let's hope its tail doesn't break." A woman said, the other people nodded and continued.
They rolled her through the building, Luna realized that she couldn't see Bethany anymore. "Please don't do anything that could get you killed, I need you." Luna thought worriedly.
Luckily a few moments later Luna caught a glimpse of another wooden platform being pulled in, and on it was Bethany, Luna almost sighed in relief. Soon the people that were pushing Luna had stopped and they surrounded her and picked her platform up again. Luna almost laughed when the people started to struggle and mutter things like, "Is this thing fully made out of metal?" " Who would make something like this?" "I hate my job!"
Luna let her tail go completely limp to look like it was going to break, one of the people went to her tail and picked it up. Soon enough they slipped her off the platform and put her onto the booth. She looked around, drawing booths, drawing areas, merchandise areas, and Cressida's booth where all around her.
She continued to look around wishing that she could go and look around herself. As the moving people left and put her tail down in front of her. The people that moved her into the building walked away from her, she could no longer see Bethany, which made her worried. All she could do was just stand in place, waiting , much to her annoyance.
She watched as people decorated the booths including her own which had some fences around her except for on the left side which had a little space for people to fit though and ride on her to take pictures.
Once the people left again she saw Cressida coming straight towards her. The author's look reminded her of a harsh snowstorm. Yet the author looked calm as she walked towards her.
Cressida slipped past the opening in the fence and walked closer to her. "You're pretty realistic, almost like the real thing." Cressida said to herself. "What's THAT supposed to mean?!" Luna thought.
Cressida walked in front of her and reached out with her hand and touched her nose. Cressida slid her hands down her, The author had gentle wrinkled fingers, they were warm and gentle. Luna instantly relaxed, catching herself before she was about to purr.
When Cressida was done stroking her she walked in front of Luna again and smiled warmly, Luna felt an odd warmth surge through her. She had never truly seen Cressida smile in real life, it was odd… yet fascinating. Her favorite author was in front of her, petting her. Cressida quietly said "I have an odd feeling about you." She chuckled and just leaned on her. "I think I'm going to stay here for a little." Cressida said sitting down next to her and sighing.
Luna couldn't help but slightly smile. It didn't last though when she heard shuffling and grunting, she saw another booth being set up close to her, which probably would be Bethany's.
Luna waited for what felt like hours, her feet were getting tired, and all she could do was watch Bethany be put onto her post. Luckily Cressida started to talk to herself, talking about the new "Wizards of once." book which would be coming out soon. Luckily for Luna she had already read the first three books and was HYPED to be hearing about Cressida's ideas.
Unfortunately Cressida left a few minutes later going back to her booth. Then she started to hear voices outside, and not deep ones like adults, but the high squeaky voices of children. People were quickly finishing decorating things and people were walking around to multiple booths and sitting down.
As the people setting up finished with the last touches, the doors opened, she didn't need her sharp hearing to know that there was an avalanche of children coming towards her, and she could see Bethany was thinking the exact same thing.
At first the children were only at the front of the building, but as they started coming towards her and Bethany with a fearful speed. People were screaming and shouting. Many conversations piled up in her mind. So many sounds and noises were rushing into her head, Why would she hear everything! She felt so much pain!
Luna did her best not to move her ears, but it wasn't working. They were twitching on the top of her head. She soon realized there was a young child in front of her, her hair was scruffy and a dark chocolate brown. Her eyes were hazel with light brown skin. The girl was beaming at her. "Mama! Look at the Statues Ears twitch!" The girl shouted. "Traiter!" Luna thought as the girl's mother came over, with a bored expression on her face.
"That's very nice honey, now do you want to go take a picture with the dragon?" The woman asked. "Ya! Can I fly on it? Why is it so still?" The girl asked. "No Swat pea, that's only a statue." she said as the girl looked at her. "No, it's real! Its ears are real!" the girl exclaimed as the woman picked her up and walked over to the "Statue" and placed the young girl on Luna's back.
"Say cheese Sweety!" the woman said, taking a photo and took the girl off of Luna's back. This routine continued as soon as more children came towards her. s. Luckily for her that her ears stopped twitching.
As another child hopped onto her back Luna noticed Cressida's booth. It had a lot less children than she had. The night fury couldn't help but feeling bad for her. She had always wondered what it felt like to be forgotten about and for your publicity to be crushed by a movie.
Luckily the author didn't seem fazed. She talked to the children and gave them the same smile that she gave Luna when she walked up to her earlier. But soon she was distracted as another child went onto his back, he looked like he was around four years old. His hair was blond and his belly was wide. The boy was also holding an ice cream in his hand when he got on top of her. Soon the boy hopped off her back after his mother had taken pictures, yelling at his mother about how he wanted more toys than his mother was already holding.
When his Mother took him off he fell and his ice cream covered his shirt. He started to yell, making Luna want to just boy's mother picked him up and started to snuggle him, then he looked at Luna and pointed to her "It's the dragons fault! It tripped me! That dumb dragon!" He wailed as his mother started to walk away with him. "Thank God He's gone." She thought and saw more children lined up for pictures. "This is going to be a Long day."
*Sarah's POV*
Sarah looked at her mother, she was NOT happy. Only a few days ago she found out about the How To Train Your Dragon convention and begged her mother to take her (down on her knees and everything). Luckily her mother Was in a good mood and agreed. But most likely regretted saying yes three seconds later, since the convention was out of town and on a school day.
After a long awkward silence Sarah and her mother got off of public transit and walked outside. The breeze was warm as the Sun's rays hit Sarah and she smiled.
As mother and daughter walked down the streets of the town Sarah started to see multiple signs for the convention, it felt as if energy radiated off of her, making her want to jump for joy. But she stopped herself.
Sarah looked at her mother, her mother looked back at her "I can't believe you actually convinced me to come here." The woman said warmly and chuckled. Sarah slightly chuckled back, but her attention went back to the convention, and the money she had saved, $120!
Sarah knew that everything at the convention would be expensive, but the money she had would probably be enough to get her something exclusive. Soon enough she saw a huge white dome that was taller than all of the buildings in the town, she guessed that that was their destination.
"I wonder what type of things will be there, maybe I can get autographs from Dean DeBolis!" She thought excitedly. She didn't see the person in front of her and bumped into him, knocking her to the person fell and grunted "Watch where you're going!" The boy yelled and walked away irritably. Her mother shot a glare at the boy and helped her up.
When she got up she realized that there were so many people in front of her waiting to get into the white dome. From the elderly to young children running around peoples legs. She continued to wait in line, she got bored and soon she looked at her phone and decided to text Luna. A friend that Lived on the other side of the city. So they just talked by text.
"Hey, I am at a HTTYD convention. Really excited!"
Sarah waited for a reply and felt surprised when she didn't get a response a few moments later. Luna usually would text back immediately. She assumed that Luna would be awake by now, it was already Nine AM. She was probably busy, so Sarah shrugged it off quickly and said as she got closer to the front of the line.
Soon enough Sarah was in the front of the line. A Man in a black suit with glasses greeted them. He remained Sarah of Lance Sterling. "Do you have a gift card? What is your reason for being here? Do you have money for admission?" He asked rather quickly for Sarah's liking.
Sarah's mother spoke up quickly. "She does not have a gift card, and we are here to look around the convention, because my daughter is a fan of the movies, and I have the money for admission." Her mother replied, giving the man $35 and looked at him impatiently as the man opened the entrance.
There was a long tunnel that connected to the dome, it reminded her of an underground tunnels that cars would go under. A bright light flashed before her eyes as she saw the dome open to reveal the convention, people were EVERYWHERE.
Sarah looked around the crowd, she saw a sign that wrote,
"Cressida Cowell Autograph signing."
That's where she would start, she remembered Luna telling her that Cressida Cowell was the author of the book series how to train your dragon before the movies even came out.
As Sarah walked towards the sign she was crowded. There were people all around, it was so busy, almost every second she would bump into she didn't mind, in fact it was great to see so many fans here.
After a long while Sarah saw the booth she was looking for and walked up to it through the crowd. Sarah panted as she got to the booth, she saw a blond woman with wrinkles along her face, showing that she was somewhat elderly. Her fingers were small and frail and her face had a warm smile that seemed genuine and cheery.
"Hello!" Sarah said warmly. As the woman looked at her and her frail hand opened for a hand shake, which Sarah accepted. "Would you like an autograph?" The woman asked.
Sarah nodded and went into her backpack and took out a notebook and opened a page and handed it to the author. Cressida smiled and wrote her autograph on the blank page.
"There." said the woman and handed Sarah her notebook. The girl glanced at it and was surprised at what it wrote.
"Your magic is your kindness."- Cressida Cowell
Sarah looked at Cressida confused. "I can tell." Cressida said to her in a quiet voice with warm eyes. "I would advise you to take a picture with the amazing night fury statues before the line becomes so long that you won't be able to take any pictures at all." Said Cressida pointing to two very realistic night fury statues. The statues were slightly longer than a six foot adult and looked slightly higher than she was in length, which wasn't very high.
Once of the statues were looking directly in her direction, its eyes looked as though they were looking at her directly. Which creeped her out slightly.
Sarah turned back to Cressida, the author smiled at her "They don't bite." the woman said chuckling. Sarah said goodbye and walked up to her mother who was waiting for her "I want to take a picture on the Night Fury statue." Sarah said. Her mother looked at the line and looked back at her with an unhappy expression, "you want to wait in another line?" She asked as Sarah nodded.
"Alright, I will come with you then." Her mother said and walked with her to the line for one of the dragon statues. As they waited Sarah continued to look at the statue again. It was almost as if its eyes were following her.
It took at least 10 minutes to get in front of the statue. When they got to the front of the line a child went down from the Night Fury statue. The statue she was in front of had a smooth scale texture, its slim boy looked as though it could fall at any moment. Sarah looked at her mother who was waiting impatiently for her to climb on the statues back. She hesitantly got on top of it and felt some kind of movement that went through its chest, like it was… BREATHING!
As she started to panic she realized that the statue was starting to move, wiggled around and it opened its mouth menacingly and roared. People started to scream and out of fear Sarah held onto the dragon's back as it ran to the other statue and quickly huffed before continuing to run. Sarah held onto the dragon neck tightly as it jumped over people. Blood rushed into her head as she shook on the dragons back as it continued to run and continued to roar menacingly.
Through her squinted eyes she saw people screaming in fear, some taking photos. Booths being destroyed as the dragon and her crashed through them. A roar could be heard behind her. "Was the other statue a real dragon to?" She wondered as she sat up more, continued to hold onto the dragon's neck tightly.. She could see above the dragon's head. It was running quickly and almost at the entrance to the dome. When the entrance came into view the dragon dove inside. People screamed as the dragon scared people that were just entering.
As the dragon crashed through the door to the outside it reared up as the line of people screamed. Sarah worried that somehow she'd get flung off to her death, so she held on for dear life. The dragon was running towards the forest and before they were about to crash into a tree the dragon quickly jumped onto a boulder and opened its wings, beating upwards towards the sky.
Sarah gasped as the dragon started to fly upwards with her. She couldn't escape in any way now! She turned behind her to see another dragon crashing out of the dome. It was holding Cressida in its mouth. When the dragon tried to fly upwards Cressida's weight must have been too much for the dragon to handle. So it just ran through the forest following the dragon Sarah was riding on.
As a breeze hit Sarah's face she turned in front of her to see how high up she was. The dragon was above the trees, now gliding more normally. It quickly glanced behind to look at Sarah. Fear ebbed her body but relaxed as a small smile glinted on the dragon's face. Sarah started to look around. Everything was beautiful. The breeze, the trees down below, the lake they were approaching. A small smile formed across the girls lips as she looked around. Slowly she opened her arms and let them go through the air. She had always imagined this moment, in dreams, in fantasies. She wanted to know what it felt like to touch the sky. Now she knew.
"WOOOOO! YA!" she called in excitement as she continued flying on the dragon, it felt so good. She felt like the skies were hers to soar. She held onto the night furies neck again once it started to tumble down. It started to fall, making both the dragon and Sarah cry in fear as they fell into the lake. Sarah felt water go into her lungs as she tried to take a breath. She started to choke as water continued filling into her lungs. she looked up, seeing she was deep underwater. "Is this how I'm going to die? Right after I have the first flight of my life? Will i never be able to experience this again?" she asked as she opened her eyes one more time.
She saw the night fury she was swimming towards, once it was close to her it grabbed onto her body and started to swim up to the surface. It broke through the water and quickly flew her to the sandy beach. Sarah started to puke up water violently and gaped as the last of the water escaped her lungs. She turned to the dragon who cooed softly, looking at her as though it were concerned.
She looked at the dragon in sheer amazement. "Y-your real, dragons are real, I flew a dragon!" she said as she smiled and looked at the dragon again. "Thank you."
The dragon rumbled happily and nuzzled her cheek. It looked at her with its deep blue eyes. Before Sarah would do anything there was a crash and Cressida and the other Night fury came to the beach. It dropped Cressida and ran over to the dragon that saved her and started to growl and hiss. Sarah looked at Cressida in confusion and the author walked over to her. "You're wet, are you alright?" The author asked, glancing at her, then to the dragons curiously.
Before Sarah could respond to the woman she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to the dragon who was drawing something in the sand. Sarah felt her blood run as cold as a reptiles as she lanced at the wet marking in the sand.
"HELLO"
Another authors note.
SO sorry that it took so long. I have been having lots of troubles. But I promise you I will do a better job in the future. And I'm sorry if it's more poorly written then the last chapter. The computer I am using does not have grammarly which has been helping me a lot. So sorry about that. SO GLAD I FINISHED.
