When night started to fall, I went up to my bed and lied down. I stared up at the ceiling and allowed thoughts to enter and exit my head as they pleased. Hiccup and dad were out with Toothless and Thornado, dad's Thunderdrum, helping Bucket and Mulch heard their sheep and yaks that somehow managed to escape back into their pens. Most of my thoughts were on some of the drawings I might make in the future. Though I doubt I'll draw then since I tend to have a habit of starting drawings, but then end up getting too lazy to finish.
Soon, I heard the door open and Hiccup and Stoick came in, sounding incredibly happy about something. Low roars followed a few of their laughs and I could tell Toothless came in with them. I heard Hiccup say good night to our dad and he started up the stairs. Toothless simply jumped from the bottom step to the top floor and walked over to his bed. My brother's head appeared a little later and I gave him a small smile.
"Hey Hiccup."
"Hi." He responded. Ever since we fought over my drawings, he's been either ignoring me or, the few times we have talked, gave me very short responses. I got up from my bed and walked over to him.
"So, did you and dad find all the animals that got out?"
"Yeah, they're all safe." He responded and walked over to his bed.
"That's good." I said, smiling at him. I tried thinking of something else to say to him, but my mind came up blank. I let out a sigh and walked back over to my bed. I lied back down and turned over on my right side, looking over at Hiccup's bed. I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to sleep much since I felt a lot of tension around me.
"Hiccup?" He lifted up his head a little bit and looked over at me. "How long are you gonna stay mad at me?" He shrugged his shoulders and put his head back on his pillow. "Ok, that's it." I said and got up from my bed again and walked back over to his bed. "Look Hiccup, I'm sorry for wrestling you to get my drawings back, ok? I was just in a bad mood after what Tuff did."
"What did he do?" Hiccup asked, rolling over on his side to look at me.
"Like I said before, his dragon just made a fireball and knocked the totem pole I was leaning against, made me hit my head on the bottom, and knocked all of my drawings out of my notebook. That's why you saw me jumping to get that last drawing before we came home. That was the last drawing I had to get." When I finished telling him why I was upset, I felt a little bit of the anger from before come back, but not as much as before. "But the whole thing's passed now, so…whatever."
Hiccup smiled and nodded his head. "So…you were upset over a guy?" he asked and I nodded my head. "Yeah, in a way." I heard Hiccup laugh a little bit after I said that and I looked over at him and he had a look on his face like he knew something. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing, I just remembered a couple weeks ago when you were mad at him for something else, you had Toothless make a plasma blast and you knocked him off his dragon." He responded "I just find it a little odd the way you guys communicate."
"We honestly don't…communicate that much. He just likes to mess with me and I like to do the same." Hiccup gave a final nod in response and turned back away from me. "We're done talking for the night, aren't we?" I asked and he nodded his head. "You're not mad anymore, right?" He shook his head and I smiled at him. "Alright, see you in the morning Hiccup." I said before walking back over to my bed, this time for the rest of the night.
The next morning, I woke up the way I normally do, without Hiccup or Toothless forcing me out of bed, and sat up with my blanket wrapped around my shoulders. I looked over at Hiccup's bed and saw he was gone, along with Toothless, probably out for their morning flight. I sat on my bed for a few more minutes before I finally decided to get up. I threw my blanket back onto my bed and climbed down the steps to the bottom floor. I went over to where my dad had his morning mead and saw a small note under his mug.
"Enya," it read "Hiccup and I had to leave early this morning to bring a fishing boat back to the docks that got lost last night. We shouldn't be gone long."-Stoick
"Another one?" I thought and sat the note back down. I looked out the window to try to tell the time and saw the sun was slightly over the horizon. "Breakfast." I said smiling to myself and went over to the door to leave for the Great Hall.
When I arrived at the Great Hall, there weren't many people there. Though, there usually isn't when it's early. Usually, if I haven't already woken up, my dad is usually the first one here unless he has to go somewhere like he had to this morning. Then it's always Hiccup and me. I went over to where we keep everything for our meals and got a small bowl of porridge, a piece of bread, a chicken leg, and a mug of water. I don't usually eat a whole lot for breakfast since I'm used to having to stop eating in case there was a dragon attack and all my food would go to waste. I went over to where I usually sit with my friends and saw Astrid and Fishlegs already were already there. I sat down in front of them and smiled. Both of them looked really tired like everyone else in the Great Hall.
"Morning guys."
"Hi Enya," Astrid said "Where's Hiccup?"
"Hiccup left with our dad this morning to go look for a fishing boat that got lost last night." I replied. Astrid simply nodded her head and went back to her breakfast. Soon, the doors opened and Snotlout and the twins walked in. They came over to our table and Snotlout sat beside Astrid, Tuffnut sat to the right of me, and Ruffnut went to the other side of him. When Tuff sat beside me, I glared at him out of the corner of my eye before going back to my breakfast. I know it's probably a little stupid to still be angry at him, I mean most of the drawings were just simple little doodles, but I tend to take people messing with my drawings seriously.
"Uh…Enya?" I heard Fishlegs ask and I looked up at him. "What was that?"
"What was what?"
"That look you just gave Tuffnut."
"I didn't look at Tuff." I said simply, shrugging my shoulders slightly. Fishlegs was about to say something else when the doors opened again and Hiccup walked in with my dad. Stoick went to the front of the hall where Gobber, Spitelout (Snotlout's dad) and all the other adults that helped my father while Hiccup came over to our table.
"Hey Hiccup," I smiled "Did you and dad get the boat back?"
"Yeah, but after breakfast we're going to have to leave again to fix it. I guess Thor sent a storm last night and made half the boards fall out." Hiccup responded. "We would have been back sooner but the boat nearly fell apart as we were bringing it back to the docks."
I nodded my head and looked down at Tuffnut's plate out of the corner of my eye. I got a smirk on my face and quickly slid his plate off the table and knocked the roll he was holding out of his hand.
"Hey!" he shouted at me.
"Hi." I smirked.
"What was that for?" he asked, glaring at me.
"For making me lose half of my drawings and making me hit my head yesterday." I responded, giving a slight glare back.
"Aw, they're flirting." Snotlout joked. I felt my face start to heat up and I saw a little red appear in Tuff's cheeks too. Snotlout likes to tease me at times since I tease him about his crush on Astrid, though he tends to go a little overboard. "You can't keep your eyes off him, can you Enya?"
I stopped glaring at Tuffnut and looked over at Snotlout. "Just like you can't keep your eyes off Astrid?"
"Hey, I haven't stared at her in three days!" Snotlout retorted, pointing his finger at me and I raised an eyebrow. "Fine, I haven't stared at her for a day."
I was about to say something back when my father came over at put his hand on Hiccup's shoulder.
"Hiccup, we need to get started on that boat. Kingsley said he needs it repaired at soon as possible so he can go fishing his afternoon." Hiccup nodded his head and swung his legs over the bench and followed dad out of the hall.
"Wait dad!" I shouted and quickly ran after them. "Do you want me to help repair the boat?" Before we made peace with the dragons, I used to be the apprentice for the local builder and would always help rebuild anything that was damaged after an attack.
"Enya, I would like to bring you to help, but we're going to be using dragons to get the wood from the forests." Stoick said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "Besides, it's just a fishing boat so we don't need many people working on it."
"What's wrong with using a simple ax to chop down the wood for the boat?"
"Using dragons makes it easier Enya," Hiccup said. "I told you this when you wanted to get the wood to repair our house after that storm in winter."
I let out a sigh and shrugged my shoulders. "Ok then." I said simply and went back to the table. I heard Ruffnut let out a small laugh and I looked over at her.
"Guess we know who's the chief's favorite."
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Isn't it obvious Enya?" Snotlout sneered "Stoick prefers the 'Dragon Trainer' of the family over you."
I rolled my eyes and started rolling my spoon around my plate.
"My dad doesn't prefer either of us."
"Then why did he take Hiccup with him and told you not to go?" Tuffnut asked.
"They're repairing a fishing boat. Fishing boats don't need a lot of people working on them."
"And, didn't he say something about needing dragons for the job? Something you don't have." Snotlout said smirking.
I was about to say something back to him but decided against it.
