Yikes! It's been two weeks since I last updated! Sorry everyone, I kinda sorta pushed the story aside to play the School of Dragons game, which by the way is amazing, but too bad I need to be a member to have Toothless which I can't afford because I don't have money, so free stuff for me. But if only I had a Toothless on that game, then my avatar would be just like my OC.
So here is chapter eight, I hope you guys like this. Oh and I don't own any Dreamworks dragons franchise stuff except for my imagination.
Chapter 8: My Story
"Well you see sir, it's kind of a long story," I said looking at my hands. I had been subconsciously twiddling my thumbs.
"I've got all night," Snail Breath's chief says, leaning back in his seat. "Now, where does your story begin?"
"Well, my father was Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and my mother was Astrid Hofferson. I'm from Berk and escaped the attack from the outcasts you said attacked the other islands. My grandmother had carried me to the docks after I witnessed my parents being killed and I flew away alone on my father's dragon, Toothless. At that time and now, I still don't know why they attacked us. But I believe it has something to do with this," I pushed my bangs aside to show him my hidden eye.
His mouth dropped, "So you're the one that caused all this trouble."
"Excuse me sir, but what do you mean?"
"The chief's from each island all claim that they were attacked by outcasts looking for a girl with the eye of a dragon."
"Why though? I never understood why they were always looking for me."
"Tomorrow at noon, meet me in the village library."
Okay, but why though? And what does a library have anything to do with this matter? Why not just tell me what you know now?"
"Because it will be better for you to find out there."
"What do you mean?"
"Sorry, but this conversation is over," the chief said glancing up to where some noise was emanating. "Go to our island's elder, she lives in the home just below here. She will give you a place to sleep for the night."
"Can I trust her?"
"Yes."
"Please just answer me this before I go, why are these outcasts looking for me?"
"If I tell you, then you'll be up the rest of the night thinking about it."
"I highly doubt it would make a difference, because this is a new place and all, so I think I'll be up the rest of the night if you don't tell me," for a split second I could've swore that I saw the trace of a smile creep on to the man's face but then it disappeared.
"You will know all about this come morning, now please, go. Our elder is physic and will be expecting you."
With that, the chief led me to the door and I stepped out into the cool night air. I turned around to get one last look at this home on the mountain. I looked up and saw what looked like a shadow in the window and then it vanished along with the light that created the shadow. Then it hit me, someone was listening in on our conversation. I turned back around on my heel and headed to where the chief said that the island elder lived.
Upon reaching what I thought to be the elder's home, I heard screaming from inside and so I walked up to the door and knocked. Before I could even rap my knuckles once on the wooden door it opened to reveal a short old woman who looked exactly like Gothi.
"Oh my, Abella, you're here a tad early, I wasn't expecting you to be here until I was done with mister Zephyer here," the island elder welcomed me into her home. "Oh and I know you're thinking that I'm Gothi, but I'm actually her twin sister, I was sent away from Berk when they discovered my my physic powers. Also don't mind this lad here, he just arrived here today and didn't know about the giant wasps nest near the docks," the old woman gave Zephyer a small whack on his head with her cane.
"Ow! Hey, you look familiar, have we met before?" the boy asked rubbing his head.
"No, I don't believe so," I answered. The elder raised her eyebrows slightly towards me.
"Maggs thinks otherwise," he then lifted his hand to his mouth like he was going to whisper and then used his other to point towards Maggs, "she's physic."
"Foolish boy, I can hear you," Maggs gave him another small whack.
"Gods woman, just get these stingers out and quit hitting me already!" He half shouted rubbing his head.
She whacked him again, "Be quiet! Abella, the other room there are spare beds, you are welcome to use one."
Hey you guys, please review and let me know what you think because they will only make me a better writer, also I mentioned this in early chapters and I will again: please message me if you would like to be an OC in my story, I have names and all I need is basically their personalities because coming up with a lot of names and giving everyone a personality too is kind of tough. So please help me out here. Also I can message you back and tell you who you got based on what you gave me. Thanks.
