Crystal POV
I lay on the beach with my head on my paws, admiring the way the light bounced off the glistening water. However, the mood was soured by my thoughts. How could Alexis want to stay?! After all her humans put her and I through, she came crawling back to them... Don't get me wrong, Alexis is a strong human, she has to be. That boy seemed to be helpful, for which I was grateful, but they can't be trusted... none of them can. And then there's that Nighfury! He is so infuriating it makes me want to- well speak of the devil... He stood over me with a look of a blank expression.
"what."
"I just figured you could use some nice company."
"That would be great, just call me over when Alexis is healed." I retorted, I was in no mood for his games.
ignoring my comment, he strode over to me and plopped down a good distance away.
"So what happened back there?"
"What?"
"When Hiccup and I found you two, what happened?"
I turned away from him "That is NONE of your concern. For all you know, Alexis and I are leaving tomorrow."
"Why don't you stay around for a while? It could be fun having another me around."
"I am NOTHING like YOU, GOT IT?!"
He stayed silent, I liked it better that way. I began to walk away until he spoke up.
"Hey wait, you still didn't answer my question!"
"And I don't plan to." I smirked, continuing on my way.
Then he blurted out "I know you want what's best for Alexis! SO stay here, she's safer here! Both of you are!"
That made my blood boil, he did not know what humans just like them had done to me and Alexis.
"SAFER! HAH DON"T MAKE ME LAUGH! You don't know ANYTHING!"
"Well I'm not going to until you tell me, now will I?"
I growled at him, such a smartass
"So, you wanna tell me what's going on?"
I thought about it, I had no reason to trust them. INFACT I had every reason NOT to trust them...but I felt the need to tell him.
"Well?"
I sighed and stumbled back over with distaste, crawling down away from him.
"Lets just say humans gave Alexis and I every reason not to trust them anymore..."
"But why?"
"Like I'm going to tell you that!"
"Ok, ok, then tell me why you were out last night and why Alexis was hurt."
"We where traveling for a place to stay, our other camp was found. She was riding me and we were flying over a large patch of forest when she was shot with an arrow."
"Do you know who shot at you guys?"
I chuckled "I wish I did..."
"Looks like its getting kinda dark, why don't we start heading back?"
I looked up to see the twinkling stars that had snuck up on us. I nodded and stood following him. We strode into camp side by side and I soon spotted Alexis with Toothless's Human, Hiccup. I was about to run over to her when once again, Toothless stopped me.
"Hey, are you still leaving tomorrow?"
I looked over to Alexis and Hiccup. He was helping her down the stairs gently and she stumbled a bit. Hiccup was there to catch her and they both laughed, Alexis's cloudy eyes began to light up... just a bit.
"I guess...one more day... won't hurt her."
He smiled at me, nudged my head with his and skipped over to Hiccup. Hiccup, once helped Alexis to the ground, petted Toothless on the nose. Alexis shied away and hid behind Hiccup. He took her hand in his and lead it to Toothless's head, to which toothless leaned in and pressed his head to her. The display made me smile a tad and think again for a minute... Could they really be different?
