Chapter 13 Attack of the Skrills
Has anyone seen them?! Toothless screeched at the dragons as they flew over the forest, searching franticly for Sam and Silverwings Someone must have seen SOMETHING!
No, nothing. One of the Nadders informed Toothless as they hovered over the base of the mountain Are you even sure that they are still on the island?
If they are not, Toothless barked back Then their blooming SENT would still be here instead! If you are so sure that they are not here, on Berk, then I suggest that you FIND THAT SENT TRAIL AND REPORT BACK TO ME!
Yes, Night Alpha. The Nadder said quickly as he spun around and flew off as fast as he could to out of fear of the Night Furies rage.
Toothless, Cloudjumpper said as Toothless continued to franticly scan the forest from above You need to relax.
RELAX?! Toothless screamed THEY'VE BEEN MISSING FOR DAYS! I WILL NOT RELAX UNTIL SAM AND SILVERWINGS ARE FOUND! Toothless shouted as he gained more altitude and roared to the dragons that were searching I WANT EVERY CAVE SEARCHED! CHECK BEHIND EVERY TREE! BEHIND EVERY BLOOMING BLADE OF GRASS! NO ONE, ON THE ISLE OF BERK, WILL REST UNTIL THEY ARE FOUND!
Hatchling? Silverwings warbled from her spot on the table once Drago finally put the sheers away with a dark chuckle Sam? Silverwings warbled again when she didn't get any reply from her boy
"I-I'm o…o….o-k g…g…gi…rl." Sam forced himself to say. "I…It'll b….b…b…be...be ok…I'll be o…ok."
"No you won't." Drago said with another one of his dark chuckles as he walked over to Sam and placed his hand on the dagger that was still in Sam's shoulder "I'll make sure of that." Drago said as he gripped the dagger, and twisted it causing Sam to gasp for air due to the pain. "Interesting…" Drago said as he stepped aside from Sam and walked over to Silverwings who was glaring at Drago with intense hatred. "When we hurt the dragon…." Drago said as he slapped one of the cuts that he made on Silverwings' back, resulting in both Dragonhearts to cringe in pain "you both react. But when we hurt only the boy," Drago said as he moved back over to Sam and punched Sam's shoulder right next to where the knife was sticking out of his shoulder, causing only Sam to react to the pain "only the boy reacts."
"You won't figure it out." Sam said in a faint, slow whisper "And we'll never tell you how we are connected."
"Oh, you will speak." Drago said as he got in Sam's face. Near inches from touching each other "I'll be sure of that." Drago growled out as his face twisted into his signature snarl
"I will tell you two things that you can be sure of." Sam said, returning Drago's glare
"What's that boy?" Drago snarled, still inches from Sam's face
"One, that I understand you are always smelling so horrid. It reflects your personality. Personally I'd rather be intimidated by swine…they smell better then you." Sam quipped, getting a small chuckle from Silverwings.
Hearing Silverwings chuckle at Sam's last remark, and feeling enraged of the insult, Drago lifted his hand to strike Sam's head. But before he could bring the strike down, Sam's hand shot up and stopped Drago. The shackle still around his wrist, only the chain was snapped and hanging a good six inches from Sam's wrist
"And two…" Sam said as he stared into Drago's eyes that were looking at Sam with slight shock for Sam to so easily break the chains, even more so when Drago locked eyes with Sam. Sam's eyes red and his pupils slits "Due to our bond, I can have the strength of a dragon." Sam said darkly and he punched Drago in the nose, causing the large man to step back in recoil as Sam, painfully snapped the remaining chains around his ankles and other hand, reached over and withdrew the dagger from his shoulder, and shoved it into one of the guards that were standing to the sides. Causing the guard to cry out in pain
"Restrain him!" Drago ordered his men that were in the room, as Sam withdrew the dagger from the guard and attacked another guard who was barely able to put his hands up in time to prevent the weapon from plunging into his skull. Not seeing the third guard, he brought his club down on Sam's open wounds that were etched across his back, causing him to crumble to his knees with a shout of pain. Once he fell, the guards quickly jumped on Sam and overpowered him before restraining his hands behind his back once more. "Show him the penalties for his actions." Drago said with eyes full of murder as he looked upon the Murkian. "And put that dragon back in her cell once the healers dress her wounds."
"What of his wounds sir?" one of the guards that were holding Sam asked
"He will not receive any medical treatment." Drago sneered "I want his wounds to fester a while longer." He concluded with his signature smile as he walked over to Silverwings and ran his hand over her scales
"If you hurt a single scale on her body!" Sam growled as he struggled against the guards that were holding him "I will kill you."
"Very well. I am a man of my word." Drago said as he gazed upon Sam with a look of a mischievous madman "I, Drago Bloodvist, do herby swear. Not to harm a single scale on the Night Fury's head." And with that he placed his large hand on top of Silverwings frill, and plucked a scale from her body, causing both Dragonhearts to fringe slightly "And this is the one I won't harm! Here" Drago said as he walked up to Sam and shoved the scale into Sam's hand "You keep it. It's the only thing that you will see of her again. Take him! And make sure he suffers!"
Don't do anything else stupid Hatchling…Silverwings warbled gently from where she was watching from the table There will be a time for that, but this is not that time.
"Take him." Drago barked as the guards did as commanded and dragged Sam out of the room. Sam and Silverwings exchanging worried glances at the other as they were separated "Now as for you, dragon." Drago said as he walked over to Silverwings "You let my healers patch your wounds. And if you struggle or fight, they will kill you without question. And if what I witnessed is true, if you die. So does the boy." Drago said with a chuckle as he waved his hand to the healers that were standing behind him, granting them access to attend to Silverwings wounds. "See that she is well enough to continue in four hours." Drago said as he left, and headed the opposite way the guards that took Sam went.
All Silverwings could do, was to pray to the gods and back that Toothless would get there soon.
Are you sure that we should be doing this? One of the Skrills by the name of Marikina asked Shouldn't we've told the alpha what we were going to do?
And if we told him, Darlla told them as she led the Skrills that were willing to fight towards Outcast Island then he would've come with and we wouldn't be able to prove ourselves to the other dragons. The Skrills and Dark Ones have fought each other for too long. It's time to make amends with the others.
But whom are we saving? Marikina asked again The Dragonhearts, or our human alpha?
We will save both. Darlla answered I will take five of you with myself to find the Dragonhearts. Marikina, if I can trust your judgment, you will take five others and find Lief, as they call him. The rest of you will cause a diversion to insure an escape route for us. Darlla said as they approached the Isle
Are you all ready to battle? She asked as they broke off into their requested squads. Having no objections, and receiving a nod from Marikina stating that she could be trusted, Darlla faced the main watch tower, filling herself with as much lightning as possible, she dived down with the others behind her doing the same and unleashed her furry at the base of the tower, destroying its footing, and causing it to fall into the island, crushing huts, and battlements. FOR THE GLORY OF THE ALPHA! Darlla screamed as she pulled up with her group following her and continued to attack the Outcast Solders that were in a state of panic.
"Archers form a line! Shoot those beasts down!" Darlla heard the men below cry out as they formed a defensive line with archers aiming up at the dragons. Each taking aim and waiting for the command to release.
ARCHERS! Darlla cried out as she and her group pulled up and to the side quickly in order to get out of the archers fire path
FOR THE ALPHA! She heard a Skrill by the name of Brakius screech as he light himself up with lightning, from his head to his tail. And crashed into the archer's line. Swinging his tail around and sending the Outcasts flying through the air, and crashing through walls I FIGHT FOR THE ALPHA! I WILL DESTRO- Brakius said before his eyes grew wide and his body became stiff as he fell to the ground dead with a large harpoon sticking out of the back of his neck
NOOOOO! Another Skrill, Brakius' mate, if Darlla remembered correctly, cried out as she too light herself up with lightning like her mate did and dived the Outcasts. Only this time…they were waiting. And as she dived down, the head archer cried for the remainder of the men to fire as they launched a furry of spears and arrows towards her. Each hitting its mark in her wings and chest, imbedding deep into her flesh. As she started to fall, she was grabbed by another of the Skrills and she flew up high, with Brakius' mate in her talons and flew away from the battle and off to Berk as fast as she could.
Darlla saw this, and made no objection to the Skrills' actions. Brakius' mate was still alive, if at all barely.
Darlla! One of Darlla's group called out as they all flew uneasy in the sky We need to find the prisoners! Quickly!
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Darlla looked down at the fortifications that the Outcasts had and, after smelling the air, was able to make out the distinct smell of the Night Furriness' sent. And where the Furriness was…her Dragonheart hatchling was sure to be as well This way! Darlla shouted as she led her group through the Island, dodging arrow and catapult fire as they wove in and out of buildings and walls. Firing upon the soldiers whenever possible.
Reaching the area where the smell was the strongest, Darlla gathered as much lightning as she had left and blasted it at the door. Destroying it quickly. Looking inside, she saw the healers that were standing around Silverwings each with a look of fear on their faces as one of Darlla's group dove into the room, swung his tail around sending each of the healers into the walls. Taking his large talons, he slashed at the chains that were holding Silverwings down, freeing her. And before Silverwings could get up, he wiggled himself under her so she was placed on his back as he rushed back out of the room
Please! Silverwings cried out They took my Hatchling from me! Find him! Please!
Taking a deep breath in order to catch the scent of Sam on Silverwings, Darlla looked down the hallway where the trail lead. You two….accompany the Dark One out of here and back to Berk. You, She said pointing to the last one Come with me. And with that, Darlla and her chosen Skrill quietly walked down the halls. Following Sam's faint scent.
As they walked down the hallway, Darlla and her companion, Jaimiki, could hear the cracks of a whip, and the cries of a boy. Hurrying their pace, the Skrills came to a large door, they could tell that the sounds were coming from the other side, and with one mighty slash, Darlla caved the door open to reveal the human Dragonheart on a table that was sitting up, almost upright, his arms and legs stretched out from his body at the corners of the table. But what drew Darlla's gaze, were the deep, bloody cuts that were numerous on his chest, arms, and stomach.
"Skrills!" one of the guards that were holding whips cried out as Darlla snapped her gaze from the boy and to the Outcasts, and with a large snarl, launched at them while Jaimiki rushed over to Sam and bit through the leather bindings that were holding him up. Swinging her tail around, Darlla caught one guard and sent him into the wall, bashing his head hard and leaving a red stain when he fell. Discarding that one, she turned to the other two guards who were preparing to whip her. Lashing out, Darlla caught one of the whips in her mouth and jerked her head towards herself quickly, causing the Outcast to stumble forward into Darlla's claws that caught the side of his chest and ripped through his other side. Spilling his guts on the floor in a bloody heap.
Two down…Darlla snarled as she gazed upon the last of the Outcast who was crouched down and whimpering out of fright One to go….. she finished before she lunged at him and bit down on the side of his neck, causing the guard to scream in pain. But he didn't scream long, for Darlla ripped her head back up, tearing his neck wide open. Killing him instantly.
W….who a…a…are…y…ou? Sam choked out as he lay sprawled across Jaimiki's snout from where he fell when the last bond was slashed
We've come to take you home. Darlla said, her maw and talons dripping with blood
S….s….sSsilv…v….Vvvver…w…w… Sam stuttered out, trying to get his words to come out
Silverwings is already on her way back to Berk. And it's time for us to leave as well. Darlla said as they left the bloody mess behind and carefully took to the sky.
Darlla! Marikina cried out with Lief on her back We got the human alpha! We need to leave! Now! I saw Flightmares preparing to counterattack!
FALL BACK! Darlla commanded as she flew over Outcast Isle Return to Berk!
Help! The Skrill that was holding Brakius' mate cried out as she landed in front of where Toothless was forming sending out another squad to search the beaches
What happened here?! Toothless exclaimed in shock as he addressed the dragons behind him Get her to the Healer's hut! NOW!
Doing what they were told, the dragons rushed over and picked the fallen Skrill up and gently lead her towards the healers
Cloudjumpper…. Toothless said as he gazed upon the Skrill in front of him Take the others and leave.
But Alpha… Cloudjumpper said, objecting slightly
I said 'Go!' Toothless screamed as Cloudjumpper and the other dragons launched into the air. Leaving Toothless alone with the Skrill
What's your name? Toothless asked
Marina, sir. The Skrill replied
Tell me what happened Marina. Toothless said, trying to stay calm Why weren't you helping with the search?
I was, Great Alpha. Marina said desperately And we found dead Outcasts in the forest.
Why was I not told of this? Toothless growled, causing the Skrill to back away slightly
Because…because we…..I…..I'm… Marina stuttered out, scared of what Toothless was going to do when he finds out that the entire Skrill group went behind his back.
Tell me. Toothless said lowly as he eyed Marina up and down but received no answer TELL ME!
We went to save the Dragonhearts from the Outcasts. Darlla said as she landed next to Toothless, her talons and maw still coated in blood The Dragonhearts are at the healers. The boy is in critical condition.
Stunned by the news, and Darlla's appearance, he shook his head quickly and muttered We'll talk about this later. as he rushed off to the healers hut
Are the Night Furies mates now? Marina asked Darlla as they watched Toothless rush away
One would think… Darlla responded
Silverwings! Toothless cried out as he ran up to the healers hut and burst through the door and scanned the room for the other. Spotting her towards the back, with multiple healers around her and patching up her back. Silverwings! Toothless screeched again as he bolted over to the other side of the hut, knocking items over as he did so, but he could care less at the moment. Arriving at her side, she gave him a weak smile as Toothless gazed upon her many wounds that riddled her hide.
Toothless…Silverwings warbled out in a tone that was both relieved and clearly etched in pain
What happened Silverwings? Toothless warbled back as he nudged her Please tell me what happened.
My…..Hatchling and I were captured in the forest…. unconscious…an…..and…..the Dark One….he….he….. Silverwings stuttered out as she began to whimper as more of her tears of acid appeared in the corners of her eyes
No, no, no. Toothless said softly as he nudged her again and licked the tears away Don't push yourself. You've been through enough for the last few days. Just rest. Can you do that for me? Toothless asked as he tried to wrap his mind around why he was feeling this way. It just felt natural to care and want to protect Silverwings…..that was normal…right?
I haven't seen my boy since the Dark One separated us. I'm scared…Silverwings warbled as she leaned into Toothless' touch.
Nope…not normal feelings…definitely not!
Is he alright? Toothless asked
They took him into the back room behind the curtains. I can feel the pain, but I need to know if he is going to be ok or not. Could you check on him for me Toothless? Silverwings warbled with the voice of a desperate mother fretting over the health for her hatchling.
Which, in case, makes since….Toothless thought as he looked into her desperate eyes
I'm not sure if they will let me in…. Toothless started before he saw Silverwings face again But I can try. You just rest.
Thank you Toothless. Silverwings whispered as she laid her head back down
My pleasure Toothless thought to himself as he walked towards the back room, peaking his head inside, he saw Valka, Gothi, and a few other healers surrounding Sam who was lying down on his stomach on a large wooden bed.
Looking up at the noise of Toothless entering, Valka pointed for Toothless to leave. But after seeing the determined look on his face, made no objection for his presence in the room as long as he stayed out of the way.
Walking closer, Toothless gazed upon Sam's back that was ripped open in every way, shape, and form. The sight make Toothless' breath catch in his throat that Sam underwent this kind of immense torture. Circling around to look at Sam's face, he was greeted with a tired warble/whimper when Sam saw Toothless.
TttTtttttoooottotthhllllesssss. Sam stuttered out as he tried to focus on Toothless face I…is S…s…s.s.s…..silv….er…r…. …..n…..w…. …ok?
Hush now Sam. Toothless warbled Silverwings is fine. She's in the other room. You will be able to join her when the healers are finished with you.
I…I hope so…Sam said, his voice trailing off as he tried to keep a conversation going. Keep an eye on her for me? Please? Sam whispered to Toothless, causing Toothless to chuckle before giving Sam a nod and leaving the room.
Walking directly over to Silverwings, Toothless saw Hiccup and Astrid bolt into the hut and rush pass him and to the back room where he heard Astrid gasp and Hiccup swear under his breath of the sight before them.
Is he alright? Silverwings warbled as Toothless approached, spotting the Skrill that he saw come in with multiple spear and arrow wounds being treated towards the side of the hut.
Yes. Toothless said as he finished closing the gap between the two He is in a lot of pain, but he is just as worried about you as you are of him. Toothless said with a small chuckle as he laid down next to her You two are very much alike.
Why are you here? Silverwings warbled, causing Toothless to look at her with a look of confusion
What'd you mean? He inquired
Well I know 'why' you are here…Silverwings said as she looked away from Toothless' eyes But why are you 'here'?
Ah. Toothless said once he somewhat grasped what she was saying I wanted to make sure nothing else happened to you. Toothless warbled
Just me? Silverwings asked
And your boy of course…Toothless added quickly. Thankful, once again, for dark scales that hid his blush
Why? Silverwings asked. It was a reasonable question. Toothless wasn't acting like himself right now. He was quiet, shy, and stuttered with his comments and answers.
Because I…that is I….I mean we. As a nest…..were…. Toothless stuttered out as he shifted his weight uneasily worried about the two of you. Especially one, particular, individual….
Who's that? Silverwings asked Rune?
No….Toothless said slowly as he sent a silent prayer of praise to Odin for making his scales jet black to hide his blush that would surly been bright red by now
Who then?
Me. Toothless said in a barely audible whisper.
What? Silverwings said as she leaned slightly closer What was that?
Me. Toothless repeated, louder this time. Still quietly, mind you, but loud enough for her to hear the seriousness, and slight nervous waver in his voice.
You? Silverwings said out of shock as she took in Toothless' answer.
Yes. Toothless confirmed as he shifted his weight again so he was facing Silverwings When you and your boy never returned from the forest that night, I couldn't sleep thinking that something was wrong. The next morning, nobody had seen you. I-I guess I sort-a panicked…but I was so scared that I would….that…..
What are you trying to say here Toothless? Silverwings warbled, looking deep into Toothless' eyes for truth in his words
That I… I deeply…care for you and your boy. And…..I…I….
But you're the alpha. Silverwings said interrupting him You don't do this to anyone else who gets injured….
To me, Silverwings, Toothless said as he locked his acid green eyes with her icy blue ones You're the most important dragon in the archipelago.
And why is that? Silverwings asked
Because… I think I've fallen in love with you….
Why me…?... Silverwings asked. Shocked once again by Toothless' words Of all the dragons…you chose me. Why?
Because you're caring, loving. You treat everyone with high standards. You have this….this….spunk about you. Your personality is one to die for….and…
Stop. Silverwings said suddenly What you are saying is flattering for sure. But part of me thinks that this is because of the fact that you and I are the only Night Furies in the archipelago. So tell me Toothless. Silverwings said with a slight glare Why me?
Silverwings, Toothless said as he locked eyes with her again I could care less if you were a Night Fury or not. If you were a Nadder, Gronkle, or even a Skrill for that matter…I would've still fallen for you.
Why are you doing this? Silverwings asked as she looked away from Toothless Why now?
Because I wanted you to know….. Toothless said as he stood up and walked closer to where she was. Laying down at her side careful not to bump the bandages around her side and back. I needed you to know…
Toothless…?... Silverwings warbled as she turned her head to look at him again. Is Sam going to be ok? Tell me he's going to be ok…
Come here… Toothless said as he draped one of his wings over Silverwings' body, pulling her close and wrapping his other wing around her other side like he would do with Hiccup on late nights when the boy was plagued with nightmares. Due to Silverwings size, she didn't quite fit entirely inside Toothless' embrace. But it still worked just the same.
And there ya go! Hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what you thought of Toothless and Silverwings at the end. I'd like some feedback on that. If you all wouldn't mind... ;)
Until next time!
