Chapter Four: Staying Hidden
Hiccup couldn't believe it he'd done it his first race, the adrenaline was slowly beginning to wear off. He was finally coming to grips. Hiccup and Cameron drove back to where they had parked before the race only to be surrounded by people. A circle had formed in front of their cars.
"You ready for the questions?" I hear Cameron saying concerned over the radio. "Yeah, let them ask. It's not like I'm going to tell them much anyway." I say knowing I can't reveal who I am. "Okay then," Cameron says as he steps fluently out from his car. "Okay! Okay! Everyone calm down, Night Fury will take any questions through me." Cameron calmly announced. "Who is he?" "Where did he come from?" "Where'd he learn to drive like that?"
Cameron threw his hands up. "One at a time otherwise no questions will be answered at all. So who's first?" Cameron said with a grin on his face. He's enjoying this way too much. "I am!" Said an unmistakable voice. It was Scott, he barged his way to the front. "I demand to know who cheated to beat the best of the best." He yelled in Cameron's face. Cameron unfazed took a step to the side. "He's The Night Fury, and I believe you owe him four thousand if the bet was correct," Cameron said with a smirk on his face. "I don't own that spineless cheat anything. He cheated so all bets are off!" Scott screamed in Cameron's face whilst jabbing a finger into his chest.
Cameron turned to the rest of the group. "Did anyone else see any cheating out there on the track?" A chorus of no's followed. "Did The Night Fury win, Fair and square?" Another chorus of yes's followed. "Should Scott have to pay up! Because he seems to think that The Night Fury cheated." Cameron yelled this time, receiving roars of outrage and anger. Out of the screaming crowd emerged Astrid who walked up to Cameron and handed him a roll of cash, before turning to Scott.
"He won. That's, that. Now, pay up Scott. No one likes a sore loser." Now that all the attention was on him Scott looked nervous and infuriated that no one had agreed with his claim. He grabbed a roll of cash out of his pocket and shoved it in Cameron's chest. "Next time he won't be so lucky." He said with a menacing growl before turning and walk-in through the crowd. "Anyone else got anything to say?" Cameron called out to the crowd.
When no one said anything he decided that it would be a good time to call it a night. "Okay, then we're off," Cameron said as he got back into his car. Hiccup turned on the engine to his stingray, the roar was absolutely magnificent as he slowly peeled away from the receding crowd. Once they were away from the airfield, Cameron spoke over the radio. "I can't believe you actually managed to one-up me." He said obviously still reeling over the fact that he had just been beaten in a race. "You do remember we're splitting the right?" Hiccup said with a smirk on his face knowing completely that it wasn't the money Cameron was on about. "You know I wasn't thinking about the money right. Very few people have ever beaten me in a race with anything on the line." Cameron said as if conflicted by emotions.
"Don't worry it may become a common occurrence if we keep racing in the same races. "Don't get your hopes up I'm getting you next time. Your luck won't hold out for long." Cameron said but you could hear that he had a grin on his face. "You want to have a race of our own right here right now to see whether it was luck or skill?" Hiccup said tempting his fate. "Oh you know I do," Cameron said excitedly. They rolled up to a set of lights before stopping. "Let's make it one thousand. Here to the garage." Hiccup said with a smirk on his face this was going to be good. "Sure, you're on," Cameron said with determination vibrating through this voice.
The lights were currently red as both cars revved their engines. Hiccups breathing had slowed, his heart rate had sped up. His focus was unbreakable at that moment. The light seemed like it was taking forever to change before suddenly there it was the signal for them to go. Both cars sped off quickly, coming around to the first left turn. Hiccup skilfully drifted around the corner slowing down only a smidgen to make sure he didn't hit the tail end of Cameron's car.
There were only for turns in total for this race. Hiccup had planned ahead knowing Cameron would want the lead early and try to control the race. With his positioning now he should end up on the inside for the final turn before overtaking Cameron on the final stretch. He quickly put his plan into action through the next two turns. Coming into the final turn he was tailing Cameron at top speed. Cameron went into his drift. Quickly followed by hiccup who sneaked in on the inside line.
Hiccup came quickly out of the drift and accelerated away. He had done it he had won again this time it wasn't anywhere near as close as the first. Before long we had ended up back in the garage getting out of their cars. Hiccup got out of his car.
"Got you again Cam you sure you're not out of practice?" He said jokingly. "Nah but an I'll won't let you do that again next time," Cameron said with a grin on his face. Hiccup couldn't help but think of what the others would have thought if they knew he was The Night Fury. He looked at his car. "It's a shame I won't be able to drive it much but who knows maybe one day they'll know who's behind the wheel of this beauty." Hiccup said with a tinge of regret.
"Don't worry one day they will. But that day won't come till you've made a name for yourself and today was only the start." Cameron said putting a hand on hiccups shoulder. "Yeah, one day. One day they'll know me, they'll know me for the real me."
