People: I am a brand new writer, so naturally I make a bunch of mistakes. I'm sorry for things like stuff that doesn't need to be there and not thinking through the scale skin penetration. And the legs becoming legs thing, it is supposed to be legs becoming shorter and fatter legs. And my grammar probably sucks. But if you are still here, then enjoy!

Chapter 2: How to Handle Just Becoming a Dragon

I looked in a pond to examine the new features that I had just acquired when I was transformed. Two sets of wings, stumpy legs, blackish scales, triangular face, pine-green eyes with cat-like pupils, and a long finned tail. I opened my mouth to see half-sheathed teeth, and suddenly they shot fully unsheathed. Then I messed around for about ten seconds to find the muscles to sheathe and unsheathe my teeth. I had fun playing with my teeth, but then a realized how stupid a looked doing that.

For the love of Thor, why the hell am I a Nightfury! I yelled- err, roared in frustration. I sighed and ran around the pond, figuring out how I'm supposed to get out of this canyon-cove type prison. Then I recalled that I now have wings. I'm so stupid to be trying this…

I spread out my wings. I started jogging at a slow pace, quickly picking up the pace. I leapt up, but fell upside-down on my back. I realized I had only been dragon for five minutes, so the draconic instincts needed more time to develop. I sighed and realized how tired I was. So… tired… I drifted off to sleep, needing the rest to take in what happened in the past eight minutes. Fortunately, I had no dreams.

I woke up the next morning with the sun straight over my head. Huh, must be noon. I stretched and yawned quite loudly, stretching out my wings and legs. I blinked the blurriness out of my eyes and let my other senses clear up. Then I remembered what happened yesterday. Maybe this time I can get out of here. Then once again I got up on all fours and charged forward. I leapt up again and spread my wings, succeeding to glide for a few seconds, but crashing into the rock wall. I got up and tried numerous times, each time getting better and better. On my 13th try, I finally cleared the rock wall!

Woohoo! So this is what it is like to fly! I thought as I soared through the air. A complete feeling of happiness and freedom came over me as I flew high in the sky. Eventually I flew over my Viking village, where I landed in the middle of it. Luckily, nobody was around. I crept around the village, careful to avoid the villagers. I'm a Nightfury, most rare and deadly of all. I smiled a toothy grin at that thought and I sneaked over to Astrid's house. I quietly watched her as she walked around in her house, but then she noticed me.

"NIGHTFURY!" Astrid screamed at the top of her lungs. A bunch of Vikings ran out with weapons at hand, only to find out that I was gone. I was running through the forest, trying to make the least noise possible. I dove into the canyon I was 'stuck' in earlier, and gave a quick look at myself again in the pond. Then I noticed that along my face, barely noticeable unless you were very close, I noticed that I still had my dark brown freckles. I shook the thought off then dove behind some rocks for cover.

I waited behind the rocks until I was sure the Vikings were no longer after me. Then my stomach rumbled. I leapt out of my hiding spot, not knowing where it was coming from. My teeth sheathed themselves as I unwillingly let out a high-pitched screech then short after that let out a small blue fireball that exploded over the pond. My stomach rumbled again, but it was not the same rumbling as the one that caused a fireball. It was the sound of hunger. My draconic instincts were now fully developed so my instincts said one thing: Fish.

I dove into the pond and snatched up a little fish. It felt so good as it slid down my throat. Wait, did I just eat raw fish? …whatever, it tastes so good! I ate about six more fish when I was finally satisfied. Then I was startled by the sound of a twig snapping. I could pinpoint that the sound was coming from the direction of the village. I narrowed my pupils and my ears stuck straight out.

Snap! Crack! Thump! Thump! Thump! It sounded like a human… Crack! Thump! Snap! Snap! Thump! A young human… by then I could smell that it was a girl. Wait; smell that it was a girl! She was almost at the edge of the cove.

Then she revealed herself to be… Astrid? "Hey Nightfury!" Astrid descended down into the small canyon and walked up to me. She was carrying her favorite axe and I could tell she also had a dagger hidden under her shirt. I growled at her. She stared at me for a long moment. "Hiccup? Is that you?" She recognized me! My freckles! Of course! I nodded but growled at the weapons she had. "Are you scared I am going to hurt you with this?" She held up her axe. "Or this?" She held up her dagger. I nodded. She threw both weapons which both got jammed in a tree.

At that, I instantly let go of my anger and ran up to Astrid. "Whoa, easy hiccup! Remember, you're a dragon now!" Astrid did have a point. I had just tackled her to the ground and was now licking her face vigorously. She laughed hard as I tickled her with my tongue. "Hiccup, p-please s-stop! I c-can't breathe!" Astrid laughed. I finally stopped to let her catch her breath. "Hiccup, you useless reptile!" As she chased me around the pond and through the cove. I always teased her by making my tail just out of reach. Then when dusk came around darkening the deep blue sky, she said she had to go home. As she left I had myself a meal of fish and fell to slumber under the stars for her return.

This is one of my versions of a cliffhanger. Any suggestions are greatly accepted and reviews are good too.
