YAY SOMEONE FOLLOWED AND FAVORITED MY STORY AND ME! THANK YOU, okt7! PLZ review! I'm doing Shoutouts, as you can see!
Chapter 3
Typhoon snarled. How DARE this one-leggged human make her rider follow him! She sensed the soft rumblings of her human snoring, and made her decision. Typhoon ignored all rules of the dragon's Code, and dived, ignoring and disobeying the Alpha. But there was one rule no dragon could break. Loyalty to their riders. Thyra had awoken when Typhoon had dived.
Thyra pulled up on the saddle, crying "Typhoon! What are you DOING?!"
Typhoon stopped and let her human guide her back toward Hiccup and Toothless, grumbling all the way.
Hiccup looked at the red-haired girl askance. "OK, what was that all about?"
"I honestly have no idea."
Typhoon grunted and flew faster, bringing the two Nightfuries literally wingtip to wingtip so they could talk. "Why does Hiccup want my rider?" she growled feircely.
"He wants to question her about Alvin and his plans."
"Well, she isn't working for Alvin."
"How can you be so sure?"
Typhoon siged and launched into her tale. "One stormy night, I was trying to find my way back to the nest I lived in. But the winds were too feirce. So I landed in a Whispering Death tunnel. I could smell human, and Whispering Death blood. I wandered deeper into the caves, and got trapped by a cage that fell from the ceiling. I screeched for help from the Whispering Deaths, but none came. I realized they were all gone. Every scent was at least a day old, if not more. Then, a girl rounded a corner. It was Thyra. She looked happy but scared and confused. I paced, showing I wanted OUT! She whispered something and let the cage up. I ran away as fast as I could, but she didn't chase me."
Toothless looked at her incredously. "What? No way. Humans that trap dragons don't have any reason to them. She must have-"
Typhoon cut him off with a look. "Did Hiccup?" she challenged.
Toothless looked at her again, disgusted. "No. He's different."
"So is Thyra. Now may I continue, O great Alpha, or are you going to interrupt me again?" asked Typhoon sarcastically.
Toothless looked at her askance. "Fine. Continue." he growled.
"Thank you. Anyway, I snuck back, and found her leaving the tunnel. She turned back and saw me, but still did not chase or harm me. So I crept closer. She stood there, then ran away as fast as she could. The next day, and the next, she came back, each time bringing fish. I don't know why I didn't fly away, but I stayed. Soon, she and I were flying together, and we have been together ever scince."
Toothless flew in silence for a minute, then said, "I guess you're right. Thyra IS different. I'll see what I can do."
"Thanks."
Meanwhile, the girl in question was staring ahead of her, completely oblivious that Hiccup was talking to her. He finally got her attention by throwing a fish from his saddlebags at her red-haired head. She glared at him. "WHAT?!"
Hiccup pushed his mask from his face, and told her again, "We are almost there. Get ready." And indeed, rising from the horizon, was Berk.
Thyra glanced up. "Wow," she breathed, "It's even more beautiful than I imagined."
"What?"
"We-well, I was planning to come to Berk, pretending I had died. That way, Typhoon would be safe from the trappers."
"Really?"
"Yes. I knew that Berk would be safe for Typhoon, and planned, that even if I couldn't get away from the Outcasts myself, my Nightfury and only friend would be safe."
Before Hiccup could say more, a blue Nadder shot from the sky in front of them, spiraling up, then dropping down in front of them. "Hey!" yelled Astrid exitedly. "You're back! And with a Nightfury!" then she glanced at the Nightfury's silent rider and gasped. "Is that-"
"Yes, this is Thyra."
"Why is she riding the Nightfury?"
Hiccup glanced at Thyra, clearly wanting her to explain. "Um, hey, Astrid- that IS your name, right?"
"Yes..."
"Well, Astrid, meet Typhoon. Typhoon, Astrid. Astrid, Typhoon," she said, gesturing.
"Who's Nightfury is it?"
"Mine."
"But you work for Alvin!"
"Not anymore, I don't. Haven't for about three weeks now, ever scince I found-well, accidentally trapped her."
"ACCIDENTALLY trapped her?" asked Astrid in disbelief.
"Yes, the trap was for a Whispering Death. I have NO idea how she got in those tunnels."
"Whatever." sighed Astrid, playing with her hair.
"It's true!"
"Mmmhummmm."
"Why does no one believe me?"
"Um, because you are working for Alvin the Treacherous?" laughed a voice behind her. Thyra whirled to find the twins on the Zippleback. Ruffnut spoke again. "Duh."
"WAS working." she corrected again.
Then, Hookfang, Meatlug, Fishlegs, and Snotlout joined them. "Another Nightfury!" squeaked Fishlegs. "And Thyra! What's she doing on a Nightfury, of all dragons?!"
Hiccup finally defended Thyra. "Fill you in at the Great Hall," he said. "Let's go."
