I truly, honestly thought no one would like this story. But I got like, 3 reviews. A whole 3 more than I thought I would. So, really, even though I had two sessions of State Testing of my second worst subject (Science) today, I still decided to write this chapter.
I know I really should finish my other 25 stories or so, or write the stories/one-shots I've had planned out for months, but I really could not get this out of my head.
I opened my eyes and sat up; sure I was going to be face to face with the dragon that kidnapped me. I screamed when I saw the one that was touching my arms, seeing that it was not a small dragon nibbling at me like I had expected.
Gobber was wrapping a cool washcloth when he dropped it and laughed. "Glad to see you up, Hiccup."
"What, what...?"
"Well, you were almost carried off by a dragon. Shot it down with a catapult. Got some nasty burns, but it never touched ya. Looked for the dragon afterwards, but couldn't find it. Unsure of what it was either."
"A Night Fury…" I muttered.
"Very lucky for you that you didn't get fully captured. Might have yourself turned into a full dragon."
"The myth… I thought you didn't believe it..?"
Gobber smiled a toothy smile and 'puhsh-awed' "Eh, I don't. How could it be possible to turn into a dragon just because they capture you? Magic?"
I smiled a half-smile before frowning. "What if I do..?"
Gobber raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "Do what? Turn into a dragon? Hah. If the myth were true, I'd say you'd be safe. It never carried you off."
I nodded, but regretted it. I had a major headache, but I smiled to show Gobber I was fine.

"Pain. Love it." (I only had to movie for a day and didn't get to finish the story, of course. I'll try my best to get quotes and stuff right)
"Ugh, who let him-" Snotlout was obviously telling me how stupid I was. I didn't care. All I cared about was my headache. I felt like my head was growing an extra brain.
Gobber started to shuffle me along and threw me in line with the others. I only heard half of what he said before he opened the cage.
"What do you need when fighting a dragon?"
"A doctor?" I asked, dumbly.
"Plus 5 speed?" Fishlegs.
"A shield." Astrid ran over to the shields along with the others, and I followed close behind, still wary and dazed.
I zoned for only a second and Gobber shoved a shield in my hand and pushed me back out. I almost fell, but I caught myself.
Gobber instructed us to start pounding on our shields to make noise to distract the dragon. It also distracted me, and made my headache grow bigger.
Suddenly, Astrid and I were the only ones left. "Guess likes it's just you and me."
"Nope, just you." She ran off and I turned my head to see the Gronkle fire at me. I dropped my shield and ran. It backed me into a wall and almost shot its last fireball at me when Gobber pulled it away. It's fireball hitting the wall next to me.
He put it back in its cage and started talking to us, but between the shock of coming that close to a dragon so close to almost being captured by one, and my headache, I only heard the ending to his speech.
"A dragon will always," He leaned in towards me. "Always, go for the kill."
Anyone else absolutely adore the part where Hiccup and Toothless are drawing in the sand? My favorite part.
Second favorite part is when Hiccup and Toothless are flying, and Hiccup relies on his cheat sheet and almost kills them because of it, and then when he can't read it, he just throws it and is like, "I'll do this on my own."
Tied to that last part is from when Hiccup dies and Toothless is holding him right before the Vikings know he's alive to the end of the movie (I cry every time).
This chapter is short. Real short. I will try and write longer chapters, but this is a filler. Explains the myth, and gets a training out of the way.
