DreamWorks Animation owns How To Train Your Dragon
Recap:
Tôrfa had stormed out of her parent's house after humiliating them in front of the village council. One male apologized to her for shoving her in the room.
…
Cursing loudly Tôrfa stomped in the rising snow. Shielding her eyes from the snowstorm she didn't know where to go. She could go back to her hut, but the oncoming snow storm was most likely coming from the bay area. With only one choice left she decided to go to the only place in town she could trust, but not completely.
The girl ran across the main area of the village making her way past the dragon stables and to the butcher's shop. The old butcher still worked there with his wife, but his son had moved out.
Searching for the house she began to mumble abusive words at the oncoming snow. Switching hands to cover her eyes she noticed that she couldn't she her hand in front of her face since the snow was whipping around so much. Collapsing in despair, she shouted up at the sky thinking no one could hear her words.
"Why do ye always have ta push it on me? I didn't do nothin to ye!" Tôrfa collapsed in the snow, shivering badly. Tôrfa slipped out of conscience not long after.
...
The young girl awoke in Gredår's home. Rolling around in her blankets she saw him sitting near the hearth. With his back turned to her she couldn't see his face, but she didn't want to. Although this was the place she wanted to be, instinct told her to leave as soon as she could. Sliding the cover off of her she nearly screamed.
"What is Hel's name have you done to me!"
Looking down at her body she could see blue patterns running along almost every inch of her bare skin. The lines swirled and made patterns on her skin.
Gredår came over to her, his eyes baggy, and his arms sore.
"What do you mea-"his eyes popped as she threw her hand towards him. Gently taking her hand in his he began to examine it closely. Tôrfa didn't like this, she rarely let other people touch her, and when they did it was only Dawn.
Snatching back her hand she eyed Gredår warily.
"What had you done to me?" she asked again this time more slowly, and with more anger.
"I didn't do anything! I came home and saw you unconscious on the way. Do you have any idea of what you have done?! Not only did you shame your parents, but you shamed them in front of the village council! And them too! You should know better than to raise your voice at them! What in Hel's filthy name is wrong with?" Gredår roared at her, pacing the room he began to rant on.
"And that was just now, what about all the things before? Tricking the village children into thinking dogs would do tricks when you set them free, we hardly had enough food to last us winter last time!"
Tôrfa stood up fuming "Now look here Gredår! I didn't do that, every single one of the village children knows that, but they decided to blame it on me! So what? I'm the village weirdo and that must mean everything I do is wrong?!"
With her mouth foaming Tôrfa tried to compose herself. "I have had enough; I will go you your stupid filthy trip for bonding. Then I will leave."
Gredår sighed loudly, there was only on thing left for him to do and he had to make sure that he did it before she left. But he would wait, for now.
"Why is it always me? Why can't anyone else be like you? Even though you did a lousy job you still were my only friend." The girl sat down by the hearth, staring into the flames with a sad stare. Gredår joined her and they stared at the hearth for some time.
"Where are you going to go after this?" Gredår asked quietly, turning his head away from Tôrfa.
Sighing Tôrfa shrugged, "Who knows? I'll probably make a boat and set out for the South Western Islands. I heard they kill dragons too."
The male looked at Tôrfa before saying "What made you this way? If only-" His voice trailed off in a saddening tone.
"Just say it, tomorrow will be too late."
Gredår stayed quiet before answering her. "Over the summer my father asked me who I wished to wed. He said many women would be clamoring for my hand, and he knew that I had already made an acquaintance with Marda. She came to me the next day trying to climb all over my body. She whispered in my ear something terrible, and I'll spare you the shame of knowing those words, but promise me that you'll be safe?"
His voice practically begged at Tôrfa. Turning her head to look at him, only now did she realize why the girls in town threw more dirty looks at her lately than usual. Not only had Gredår come of age, but he was one of the nicest males to look at. Every lady knew that her husband would end up scarred one way or another, but even then it would complement him. His shaggy black hair perfectly framed his strong jaw and the stubble on his face made him look even handsomer. He was fit, almost everyone in town was. And most of all, he had green eyes. Sure around the village there were green eyes, dark red hair, sometimes silver and black, but these were special. They were dark with little flecks of bronze in them.
Tôrfa blinked her eyes in surprise as she realized that she had been staring at Gredår's face non-stop and in that time he had come closer to her face than ever before. Fear raced through her body as their faces inched towards each other's ever so slightly.
Gredår broke into a grin and the moment was ruined. A loud joyful laugh echoed in the house as Gredår rolled about on the floor in glee. Wiping tears from his eyes he calmed himself enough to look at Tôrfa.
Seeing her face he fell back down again. Tôrfa was utterly – what was that word? Shocked? Disappointed?
Her face was like someone had seen something so bizarre that their body didn't know how to handle it. Her pale eyebrows bunched together in confusion and then back out again in shock. She did this the entire time Gredår was laughing, fueling him to laugh even harder on the floor until he couldn't breathe.
The boy leapt up and pulled Tôrfa with him. He danced gleefully around her until he heard a knock at the door and they both fell deathly silent. They both knew of what was about to happen and she didn't like it one single bit.
Thank you Saphirabrightscale for following this! I hope you liked this chapter enough to review ;). So how what did you guys think? Gredår and Tôrfa? If you guys do like it, I have a little twist for the story if not, well, then who knows! Tôrfa will explain things on the bonding trip so if you feel lost do not worry! I'm making everything up to fit into place ASAP! I have to get my room clean, before I get on any other devices, so it may be a little bit before I even start. Next chapter will take a long time even is it isn't long!Please R&R! Peace!
