Chapter 9

Meeting Him

A/N: I really hoped that you guys enjoyed the last chapter! I forgot to look it over before I posted it so I hope its ok! XD Also, the vrooming noise with the Dragon Rider and Night Fury, its the same noise like in the movie when he flys fast it makes that 'vrooming' noise ya know? I think it's funny that I am more followers than I do favorites XD Anyway I'm getting farther than I thought I would be in this story so just continue reading!

On the island of Berk, the black of night washed over the sky. Twinkling starlights shimmered above. The only light was the moon illuminated the whole island. Waves crashed against the rocks of island while the sheep 'bahed' through the night.

In a tall brown wooden house, with a dragon on the top, was the chiefs house. The bright orange fire crackled inside. Making the darkened room glow with a bright orange. The chiefs green eyes glowed against the light as he stared in thought at the black helmet in his giant hand. The other hand was stroking his long beard that ended to his belly.

The helmet in his hand was all black. On the top corners of the helmet had small flaps that were almost like ears. In the middle of the front part of the helmet were oval like diamond holes for eyes. Stoik looked at the size of the helmet. Who ever this boy was, he would probably have been pretty small. So he wouldn't have been a viking. But one thing he found was a bit strange, was that the black of the helmet felt like… scales…?

After looking at the helmet for long minutes, the chief finally looked back up at the children. "I call the helmet!", chimed Ruffnut as she lifted her hand up in the hair. Her blue eyes looked at her brother annoyingly as he said, "No I called it!". They were about to start a fight when Astrid smacked them both on the head with her ax. She sighed and moved her bangs out of her eyes and put the hand on her hip. Snotlout just rolled his eyes as he looked back at his uncle.

"So what are we going to do with the Dragon Rider?", asked Snotlout as he narrowed his black eyebrows. "We are going to try and find a way to lure the Dragon Rider into our clutches. You lot are going to stay here in the village where it's safe. Or better yet, just stay in your houses until I give the order for you all to come out.", ordered Stoick as he got up from his chair and made his way over to the front doors.

All the kids just stared at him like he was crazy. "But we lured him in! We should get to help!", shouted Snotlout in annoyance as he stomped over to his uncle. The other kids just stayed back where they were since they knew what was coming. Fishlegs quickly tip toed over behind a pole and whimpered to himself. Astrid made an annoyed sigh and took a seat at the table and dropped her ax on the table. The twins took a few steps in front of Astrid as they watched the show.

"Snotlout, I am not going to repeat myself. You and your friends are confined to your homes until I give the order!", Stoick said as he started to open a big silver door knob, without even turning around to look at the boy. "But why lock us up when we can help?!", Snotlout nearly shouted. Stoick didn't bother to answer him as he opened the door and was about to take a step outside. "Why do you have to treat me like Hiccup!? The reason why he's dead is because you locked him up!", Snotlout shouted as he clenched his fists. All the kids gasped in astonishment as Stoick stopped in his tracks. He turned his head halfway and then stomped out the door. Slamming them as he went out.

Snotlout just stood there with his black eyes wide. He couldn't believe what he had just said. He just blamed his own uncle for killing his own child when everyone knows it wasn't his fault. It probably wasn't even Hiccups fault that he died! Before he could continue to think, something hard hit across his head. "Ow!", he shouted and glared at Astrid. Her icy blue eyes practically stared threw his soul. "What in Thors name was THAT?!", she practically screeched at him. "I didn't MEAN to! My tongue just slipped thats all!", he said as he stomped his foot. "Ya well you slipped more than your tongue Snotlout!", sneered Astrid as she flicked her hand. "Ooooooo!", said the twins. Fishlegs eyes were as wide as his head as he watched the show in fear. "Well it's kind of too late to apologize now!", he said. A hint of sadness was in his eyes. Astrid had to feel sorry for him. After all, he lost his cousin in a fire 10 years ago.

"So w-what do you think Stoick is going to do?", asked Fishlegs as he quietly walked over to the group. "He's probably going to try and figure out a way to lure the Dragon Rider.", said Snotlout as he stared at the wooden doors.

"Well. What are we waiting for?", said Astrid as she flicked her head to move her blond bangs out of the way."Huh?", asked the twins as they banged their heads together, almost making Ruffnuts helmet fall off. "If we're gonna do something, we should get going!", she said as she lifted her chin up and put her hands on her hips. Snotlouts black eyes lit up as he figured out what she was trying to do. Fishlegs understood right away as well as he started to get closer to the group. The twins just stared at them confused, "Wait… What?", asked Tuffnut. Astrid sighed, "I'll explain on the way.".

~.~.~

The moon was high in the sky, glowing the island around them. The stars twinkling like little fireflies. The darkness covering up the sky in a blanket.

Trees swam all over the children as they padded through the forest. A few owls hooted in the distance. Shadows engulfed the roots of the trees as their feet padded on the soft green grass. Fog surrounded them, as wet dew rested on the tips of the grasses.

"You understand now Ruffnut and Tuffnut?", asked she tilted her head back to look at them in the corner of her eyes. "I know it as well as I know myself!", said Tuffnut. Ruffnut snickered. Everyone else just rolled their eyes.

There was a rustling noise in a tree, but the children thought nothing of it as they continued walking. In that very same tree, a boy in a black outfit was hidden in between the leaves. His brown hair blending in with the brown of the tree roots. His green eyes narrowed at the kids wandering in the forest. He looked closer at them. He remembered them from a very long time ago, but he doubt they would remember him.

Fishlegs was too busy looking around the tops of the trees wildly. His blue eyes full of fear as they dart around tree to tree. His hands clenched into fists as they went up to his chest in fear. He stayed in the back of the group as they continued to walk. They were going to go back to the place they were when they met the Dragon Rider. Fishlegs would rather be in his bed but he wanted to meet the Dragon Rider again.

He looked over to a tree that seemed darker than the others. He could have sworn he saw a flap of a tail quickly swooped back into the tree. A low growl was heard in the pine tree. Fishlegs whimpered as he stared closer at the tree. He could see two bright pairs of green eyes staring at him. His eyes widened and screamed. His hands went up as he ran behind a bush that was closest to him and yet farther away from that tree.

The green eyes blinked as the group of children turned around and stared at Fishlegs. "What?", asked Astrid as she gripped her ax. "T-t-t-t-there's s-s-something in t-t-that tree!", he managed to say out loud as he pointed to the top of the same tree. No one bothered to look in the tree. "Awww Wittle Fishwegs is afwaid of an owl!", chirped Snotlout as he put his hands on his thighs to crouch down and made a baby face. "N-no! I-it's not an owl! Just look!", he said as he pointed to the same spot again.

This time everyone looked up at the tree.

Their eyes widened when they saw two pairs of green eyes staring at them. Astrid tightened her grip on her ax and got into a fighting stance. Snotlout got into one as well with his foot behind him and his fists tucked by his chest. Fishlegs hid more behind the boulder. The twins quickly went in front of the group. "There he is!", shouted Tuffnut as he pointed in the tree. One pair of green eyes tilted it's head as the other pair blinked.

The twins all ran toward the tree about to jump up to the eyes.

Before the twins could even reach the tree. The tree started to shake and make a growling noise. Out of no where, a boy in black jumped in the air and did a flip. He landed right behind the kids crouched down on his feet. His head down as his brown short hair showed. He wore his same black outfit with two brown straps on his back going criss cross. The metal stick that he carries was on his right side on a brown buckle.

The boy started to stand up and moved his head to the right half way. Astrid tightened her grip on her ax as she tilted her head and slowly walked over to him. Her red spiked skirt swaying as well as her blond short ponytail behind her. Her blue eyes narrowed as she tried to see the boys face. "Who are you?", she growled.

Snotlout didn't want to miss out on all the fun, so he walked right next to Astrid. The twins were too busy jumping in place. "That was so cool what you just did!", said Ruffnut. "Ya it was like you were flying!", said Tuffnut as his sister leaned against him in awe. Fishlegs just rolled his eyes and looked at the boy.

"You want to know who I am?", the boy with brown hair asked quietly. Still not turning around. "Uh, DUH!", said Snotlout as he flicked his hands out in annoyance.

The boy seemed to hesitate. But then seemed to made up his mind as he slowly turned around to face the kids.

The boy wore a black outfit with two brown straps going criss cross. His metal stick on his right side. Bright green eyes glowed in the moons light as he stared at them with no emotion.

Snotlouts eyes widened once he saw what the boy looked like. The other kids looked at Snotlout and back at the boy.

"H-Hiccup?", mumbled Snotlout.
