My Enemy is My Mate?
'This is strange?' i thought as i once again woke up to the battle cries of my tribe. I knew why they were shouting without even going to find out. It was another dragon raid. It was nothing new to people of berk. However the strange thing was that it was happening the second time this month.
Usually they come once a month – to steal everything they can – and dont come back till the next.
But scince five years ago everything about dragon raids is strange. It all started when a dragon rider appeared leaping from dragon to dragon in the sky. Then that rider started setting them free, and fighting for the dragons. Scince then he is in every raid that has been.
So i grab my favorate axe and run downstairs to help but i stop in my tracks when i see my dad and mum standing at the door arms crossed.
"And where do you think your going young lady?" My dad says with a lifted eyebrow.
"Oh come on dad! I'm a twenty year old. I can stand my ground in a battle!" i say throwing my arms in the air.
"No way were letting you go anywhere!" My mum said giving me a stern look. She continued " You still havn't fully recovered from your last raid when that rider hit your head against the wall of the great hall!" With her wods memories i was hoping to forget came back to me.
I was merely chatting to fishlegs, ruffnut, tuffnut and snottlout about what kind of fish taste better when suddenly a viking from outside shouted 'dargons' the gang ran out with their weapons crying battle cries. I was about to follow them, but when i went to grab my axe, but it wasnt there. Then a voice came from behined me.
"looking for something" I knew that voice. I have been throwing insults at that voice for too long to forget it. It was dragon riders voice.
I turned arouned too see hi leaning against a piller, arms crossed, all too full of himself holding my favorate axe in his left hand. Even though his face was hidden behined the mak i could see him smirking. I tackled him and we wrested for the axe for a few minutes. I know this all was a game for him. He was not letting me help my people in the battle. He knows im one of the best warriors in tribe. Then he suddenly somehow pinned me to the wall and my head hit it very hard that after that i only lasted a few moments. As i was sinking to the floor i could hear him say,
"You know, if you were not such a stubborn viking, Astrid. I might off even take you as my mate. But we'll se what time brings!"
With that i blaked out. I only told the gang about his last words. Snottlout said he'll kill the guy for saying something like that.
"Fine!" I huffed and headed back upstairs. Maybe they are right. My head still hurts a bit and cant aim properly. Gothi says i need rest and it will be better.
5 minutes later...
I can here the battle starting to die out when suddenly some one spoke.
"Missed me!"
Its him! What the hell does he need from me. Its not like i was evn trying to get out there to help the fight.
"What are you doing on my room?" I ask turning around to see him lying down on my bed armes behinedhis head and looking at me.
"Oh come on. Can't i visit my favorate viking in the whole archipelog. Doont tell me your still mad at me for knoking you out?" I can hear the smirk as he talks getting up and approching me.
"No. Now tell me what are you doing in my room. I wont ask again!" I say with a threatening tone.
"Okay i'll tell you if you say please."
How dare he ask me to be polite with him after what he had done. So insted i cross my arms and huff.
"I knew youd do that. But dont worry. As you are my favorate viking. I will tell you." He comes closer. He now is an hands reach and he is towering over me. I hate That!
" Remember what i said in the end of our last meeting?" He asks me cicaling me like a preditor would circle its pray.
"Yeah, so what." I hiss at him.
"Good. So i thouht over it and decided that i get quite board spending time only with the dragons and my mother. And as you are my most favorate and the most entertaning viking in the archipelog... Can you see where I'm going?" I hit him in the guts and brake for the run to the window ahed of me. I hear him mutter in the backround thought so. As i reach the window i turn around to see him aprochinng me slowly. No way i'm letting this happen. So i jump. Right through the window and onto the grass . When i look up i see he
im at the window.
"Your only gonna hurt yourself by trying to run away!" The he jumps through the window and he lands on both of his legs right infront of me. I try to shuffle away but then i notice that there is a piece of glass stook in my hand.
He kneels down and is about to lift me up i hear snottlout shout behined me.
"Get away from her you bloody bastard!" He must of scene how i jumped out the window because he sound more enraged than ever. The rider sights, lifst his head and then stand up.
"And what are you gonna do if i don't?" He sounded board.
I turned sideways just in time to see Snottlout hurling a mice at him which he avoid easily.
He then snaps his thingers and a zipplleback howers above the rider and makes a gas circle around me and the rider. Then a monsterous nightmare lands in the circle. The rider once more kneels down and puts me over his shoulder. I scream and shout and kick and punch him but nothing works. Then the zipplleback lights the gas as the riders walks on the back of the nightmare.
When the last of fire disaprears i can somewhat make out the crowd that has surrounded us. The i hear the cheifs voice.
"Let her go you Devil," He spits out.
" I will have to refuse your offer. I find her quite entertaining!" He says with an obviuos smirk in his voice. The next thing i know we are in the air and i am screaming my lungs out.
