Chapter 5: Cave at night
Both Dragons (eventually) went home with big grins on their faces. Shadeswift's brother started to question his sisters new behavior. While Melerd, was astounded at all the things Shadeswift would tell her. Darkwing didn't even get annoyed at the journey to HiccWarr's cave. HiccWarr only had a smirk on his face, when Darkwing told him more about Shadeswift.
Toothless POV
I got up this morning, eager to see Shadeswift. I avoided the females, and I flew to my fullest speed. I felt the refreashing cool air that seems very familiar to me. I dodged trees. Then I saw the snow from a distance. I happily hopped on to the snow. "You here, Shadey?" I asked. "Over here, Toothless!" Shadeswift called. I sat on my haunches next to her. "I really hate the name Toothless" I said. "And I don't like the name Shadey" she said. "'Hate' and 'don't like' are two different things" I said. "Like, you hate Authority figures?" Shadeswift asked. "Yes" I replied. "I was thinking about that, and I was wondering if you like your Alpha?" she asked. "Yes" I replied without hesitation. "How could you hate authority figures, but like your Alpha?" Shadeswift asked. I thought for a moment. "Eh, well, he's different. He's strong, yet he makes sure every Night Fury is accounted for. He has lead the pack, and he makes us united as one" I said.
"Nice" she said. I shifted uncomfortably. "I know you really well, Shadey. How about I know more about your likes" I said changing the subject. "Sure, but what ever question you ask, you also have to answer" she said. I nodded. "What's your favorite color?" I asked. "Green" she said. "Mine's orange" I replied. We looked into each others eyes and laughed. "Coincidence much?" I asked. "That's so weird" she said. "Okay, what do you like?" I asked. "Lets see, I like fish, being unpredictable, my friends, guarding, occasionally getting dragons mad, socializing, and I like when dragons agree with me" she said. "You seem like a fun, out-going female. A rare type of female I've seen" I said with a wink. She smiled with her orange eyes brightening. "Your turn" she said. "I like hanging out with my two only friends, I like messing with you, I like hanging upside down on trees, I like using my flames to warm myself, I like being a fast flyer, I like being independant, I like being loose and having some fun, I like leading dragons into one way, and making them realize that they should've gone the other" I said.
Shadeswift tilted her head and nodded. "What do you like to do?" she asked. "My favorite thing to do, is fly at night and see the moon. You?" I asked. "My favorite thing to do, is slide on ice" she said. "Slide on ice?" I asked. "Yeah, it's tons of fun" she said. "Doesn't seem like much fun" I said. "You've never slid on ice?" Shadeswift asked. "Shadey, there is no snow in my territory" I said. "Crap, that's right" she muttered. After a minute, she turned to me and grinned. My eyes dilated. I shook my head. "Nuh-uh, I'm not sliding on ice" I said. "Toothless, get that pole out of your tail" Shadeswift said. "I know what you're doing and it's not going to work" I said
5 minutes later...
"Is that a frozen lake? I thought you said ice!" I exclaimed. "They're the same thing. Now, c'mon Toothless, slide on it" Shadeswift said. She gave a leap and she swiftly slid on the ice, contantly moving her direction. I put my paw on the ice. I heard the tap of my claws sliding on it. "Shadey, are you sure this won't break?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm sure" she replied. I put my four paws on the ice. As soon as I took another step, I ended up slipping and falling flat on my stomach. Shadeswift laughed. "Like you didn't fall on your first try?" I asked. "Nope. I'm a natural. I swiftly move on ice" she replied. "Is that why they call you Shadeswift?" I asked. She nodded. "I know you're 'independant' but would you like me to help you?" Shadeswift asked. "Let me see if I can figure it out myself, if I don't then you can help" I said. I got up on my four paws and held on to the ice with my claws. "You slide with your back paws and steer with your front one's" Shadeswift said quickly before sliding away. I half glared at her. Now lets see. I began sliding with my back paws and I caught up with Shadeswift.
"If anyone asks, I learned on my own" I said smiling. I went left and Shadeswift went right. We turned around and quickly circled each other. I could hear our paws scratching the ice. I raced after her and I used my tail to grab hers. She yelped and jumped in the air. She had a smooth landing, though. I laughed. Again, I raced towards her and slid right past Shadeswift, making her spin. She glared at me. Shadeswift zig-zagged and pushed me out of the ice and into the snow. She laughed and stepped off the snow. I shook myself out. "A thousand thank you's Shadey. Without your help, I don't think I would've gotten of that ice" I said with a wink. "Shut up" she said laughing. "That was an enjoyable experience" I said. "Toothless" she said. "Yeah?" I replied. "I might not be able to come tomorrow" she confessed. "Why not, Shadey?" I asked. "My brother's getting a little suspicious, but I'll try to come" she said. "Well if you don't come, those clingy females will look for me. None of us wants that" I said. She smiled. "Bye" she said. "Bye" I said. Shadeswift flew away.
Crap. I really like her. I probably shouldn't like her that way, but it was unstoppable from the begginning. I hate it when HiccWarr's right. I walked towards the Night Fury territory. How exactly do I confess to her? Maybe she likes me back. Maybe. If I do confess to her, it should be in a ridculously crazy way. I looked at the direction she flew towards. Oh yeah, it'll be crazy.
Shadeswift POV
The moon was rising and Melerd was already asleep. My brother said that he wanted to talk to me, but that can wait until tomorrow. I curled up and went to sleep. Barely a moment passed before heard a noise. A clanking noise. I searched around my dark cave to find the noise. I couldn't see a thing. Dang it! It's too dark im here. I heard another noise. What was in my cave? Or who? Maybe this is some prank. Who would prank me? I curled up again. I had the feeling someone was watching me so I turned around. When I did, I saw big green eyes starring at me. I screamed. Then a paw covered my mouth. I narrowed my eyes. "Darkwing?" I asked. He nodded with a smile. "You scared the crap out of me! What are you doing here! You shouldn't have gone more into the territory!" I scolded. "Shadeswift?" I heard the voice of my brother ask. "Friken hide!" I urged. "Why?" he asked. I shoved him away. "Go hide!" I whispered harshly. Darkwing hid on the top of the entrance of my cave. My brother came in. "What's wrong, Shadeswift?" My brother asked.
Darkwing was about to drop a rock on his head. "No!" I yelled. My brother looked at me weirdly while Darkwing silently whined and complained. "I mean, nothings wrong. I'm just a little jumpy" I said. Then my brother looked up, and to my surprise Darkwing dissapeared from that spot. "What are you looking for?" I asked. "Sorry, force of habbit. I was going to talk to you, but since you aren't feelin well, I'll wait until tomorrow" he said. My brother nodded and left my cave. Then, right where my brother was standing a rock flew down. I look up at the ceiling on my cave and that's where I found Darkwing. I didn't even scold him that time. "Darkwing- I mean Toothless, what are you doing here?" I asked. "I have to tell you something important" he said. "Why did you come at night to tell me?" I asked. "I don't get caught because I blend in perfectly" he said jumping down. "What'd you want to tell me?" I asked.
Darkwing came closer to me. He shifted uncomfortably. He opened his mouth, then closed it. He took a deep breath. After a moment of silence, he pressed his nose against mine. My ears stood up and my eyes dilated. I felt so much affection in that moment. My insides tingled and jumped. My face suddenly felt very warm. His eyes opened and he backed up. "I like you, a lot" he said. "You like-love me?" I asked. "Shadey, I just gestured you how I feel about you. So, what about you?" Darkwing asked. I thought while he seemed anxious. "I feel happy with you right now. I do like-love you too" I said. His ears stood up and his eyes widened. Darkwing jumped around happily. I laughed. "Now go! I'll see you tomorrow" I pushing him. "Promise?" he asked. I nodded. He quickly pressed his nose against mine. "Bye Shadey, love you" he said with a wink. My face heated up again. In the blink of an eye, Darkwing was gone. I sighed happily and rolled over on my back. He loves me! My heart pounded very fast. I might be happy, but this love complicates many things.
Thank you everybody and please review. :)
