Chapter 4: Berk

It took us about half an hour to reach Berk on dragon. I flew Toothless to the cove, where he and dad would always be, and walked to the village. It was worse than I had ever imagined, everything was in ashes, the only buildings not completely gone was the stone in the blacksmiths and of course the Great Hall. I decided to look around the Great Hall first, inside it was a complete and utter mess. There were overturned tables, the tapestries were covered in dry crusty blood from ten years ago, even the golden dragon that hung on the ceiling was now laying in the fire pit badly damaged.

"toothless, don't light a fire, I don't want anyone or anything to know that someone has been here." I caught him right before he lit one out of old habit. "Come on buddy, let's go and check out the blacksmiths," before I could even finish my sentence, Toothless walked out as if in search of something. That silly dragon I laughed to myself, although it was such a strange feeling to have in the place where everyone I knew was dead.

When we got to the blacksmiths, I was surprised to see all of the weapons still there. What I found even more surprising, was that there was a small fire burning in the chimney. I glared at Toothless thinking that he lit it, but he just gave me a blank expression and I then instantly grew cautious. I started to look around from the door way, and then I noticed fresh foot prints on the dirt floor, they were clearly from someones boots. I pondered who could be living here and then stepped in to explore and see if anything hadn't changed since my memory of it as a child.

As I was looking around, I found an empty pack, not knowing whose it was and not caring I took it, seeing many others in the corner. I was careful with not knocking over all the others, when I saw something that caught my eye. It was a small box with a piece of parchment tuck underneath on the remains of the counter. It was hard to tell what was on these two things from a distance because of all the ash and dust covering the little box and parchment. I was so focused on the little box that I didn't notice the bucket in the way, and when I nearly fell from tripping on it Toothless put his head under me to keep me steady. When I reached the window counter, I picked up the little box and parchment holding each in one hand, I blew off the dust and ashes.

When the writing on the parchment was clear enough to read, I was surprised to see it addressed to me. I read it aloud so that Toothless would know what the letter said.

"Dear Abella,

We hope that you have a wonderful 5th birthday and an

even more wonderful Snoggletog today.

With love from the bottom of our hearts,

Mum and Dad"

I started to cry. I couldn't help it, I finally had found the present they said that I could never find even if I looked all over the island, and would only receive the gift when they gave it too me. Stuffing the parchment into my new pack, I looked the little box more carefully. It was pure oak wood with a dragon and sword inlayed on the top of the box. The bottom had solid gold pegs and a wind up. When I opened the box, it was lined with the softest velvet and it began to play music. Once the first note sounded, I shut the lid immediately and scanned the scenery in front of me for a sign of life. A few minutes passed before I concluded that no one was around, and then I placed the music box in my pack and departed for where my home would be cautiously. I told Toothless to wait in the treeline just in case I needed a get away and plus he is a giant black dragon. I walked to the remains of my house along the treeline.

Arriving at where my house would be, I stepped out into the open. Being overwhelmed by emotions, I hadn't even notice someone sneak up and pin me to the ground until after it happened.

"What the - show yourself coward, come and fight me!" I was pinned on my stomach and couldn't see my attacker.

"Who are you, and how did you get here?!" by the sound of the voice, I could tell that it was a boy.

"I'm not going to tell you anything, no matter what you do!" I spat out at him showing that I was being stubborn. I could tell it was working because his grip on my arms tightened. "Toothless,help!" I screamed.

The boy had a puzzled look on his face, I could tell because I managed to wretch my head to face him. He had green eyes and dark brown hair. He looked somewhere near my age and tall. I looked back down at the ground hoping that he didn't notice me looking at him.

"You know that I saw you right? I'm not stupid," It sounded like he was wearing a cocky smile. "Anyways, I'll ask again. Who are you and how di-"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Cutting him off, I was able to stall long enough for Toothless to get to me. "It took you long enough you overgrown lizard," I teased him.

Toothless bit the boy's tunic and threw him off to the side. I took advantage of this opportunity and climbed on Toothless. "Well now you know how I got here, and that Toothless is the name of my dragon. Happy now?"

With that, I took off with Toothless and my new pack.
