Chapter 2:
[Aurora Point of View]
Well the Toothless guy had been gone for about an hour, and I was getting rather impatient. If I could still fly, I would've left 55 minutes ago.
I was laid sprawled out on the ground, drawing circles with my claws, my hurt wing tucked carefully against my body. I soon got bored of doodling and got up. I walked around in circles for only a minute or two until my ear twitched and I heard talking. I looked up and right on cue, Toothless, and who I assumed was his human, glided gently to land next to where I was standing. When the human got off of Toothless's back, I was rather shocked.
The boy was thinner than I expected, but what shocked me the most was the metal foot he had. I cocked my head and stared at it for a moment.
"Battle scars." Toothless thought to me, reading my expression.
"Huh, well aren't you two something." I thought back.
"We try."
I laughed to myself before taking my attention back to the human boy. He had walked around and was studying what he could see of my wing. I slowly unfolded it, trying not to flinch with every move of my wing muscle. Maybe it was worse than I originally thought.
The human was now reaching towards my wing and I withdrew it slightly. I hissed so he would know I didn't want him touching me… and flinching kind of hurt too….
Toothless eyed me, but I ignored him. The human boy now had both hands up, shushing me and telling me it was alright. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Toothless.
"Is this your human's way of fixing it? Shushing me?" I asked.
"If you hadn't of hissed, he wouldn't be shushing you."
I sighed and suddenly felt the boy's hands rubbing where the gash started on the tip of my wing. My eyes got a little big and I turned to look at him. He had some sort of salve and was rubbing it gently. It hurt some, but I decided to shake it off. I laid down so I wouldn't be standing the whole time he was 'fixing' my wing. Toothless mirrored my action and he laid down in front of me. I stared into his green eyes and tried to hear what he was thinking. Dragon's communicate telepathically, but we have another thought pattern that can't be heard. Some things have to be private after all.
Toothless stared back at me, probably trying to do the same thing as me.
[Toothless Point of View]
Hiccup was rubbing salve on Aurora's wing, fumbling with his metal foot and the wide span of her wing.
I looked at Aurora and she looked back at me. I was trying to hear what she was thinking, but there was nothing. The more I looked at her, the more her oddities became less odd and more… unique. Her eyes were an amethyst purple and her skin was grey; it was perplexing.
Hiccup lost his balance and accidently stepped on the edge of Aurora's wing. She roared out and looked back at him hatefully.
"Calm down, sheesh." I told her.
"It hurts, sorry for having emotions and feelings." She spat back. I rolled my eyes.
"How'd you do that anyways?"
"I fell."
"From all the way up?" I was amazed. I feel from all the way up and lost half of my tail-fin. She only had a cut.
"No, from the ledge."
Ah… never mind. She wasn't as lucky as I thought. I mouthed 'oh' before looking at the ground. Hiccup walked back to stand in between both of us and dusted his hands off.
"All done. She should be better in a week or so," He told me. I nodded briefly. He smiled and turned to look at her. Aurora raised one eye brow at the inquisition of her body.
"I'm not that fun to look at," she thought. I laughed to myself.
"Well I'm the only Night Fury the kids ever seen, give him a break."
Aurora side smiled.
"For you," she thought sarcastically. "Since your human tried to help, I'll cut him some slack. This one time." I smiled my toothless grin, earning one from her.
"Thanks."
"Eh, don't get used to it." But from the tone of her thoughts, you could tell she was slightly joking.
Hiccup looked from Aurora to me. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you two were having a conversation without me knowing."
If only he knew.
[Aurora Point of View]
The human was very observant. If only he knew that we were having a conversation right under his nose. I smiled at Toothless at how close his human really was to the truth.
But my tummy growled and I was instantly embarrassed. My cheeks turned slightly red and the boys stared at me. I smiled weakly at them.
"Are ya hungry?" the human asked me.
No, that was my lion I keep tucked under my belly, I thought. But instead, I nodded.
"Well Toothless, I think we should get her something to eat." Toothless nodded and stood up, the human slipping easily onto his back.
"We'll be back soon," Toothless thought.
"More waiting?" I whined. Toothless raised an eyebrow at me and I looked away slightly. "Okay."
And they took off.
[Toothless Point of View]
We were fishing so that Aurora could have some dinner. It was nice for it to be just me and Hiccup for the first time in awhile. It was a nice silence, just the brook and the occasional splashing broke the quiet.
Hiccup spoke up, breaking the mood.
"So Toothless, what do you think of this girl?" He asked me. I looked at him as if to say: 'what do you mean what do I think?' Hiccup looked at me.
"Well I mean, you have to think something, otherwise why would you have interrupted my class just to get me to rub some salve on a cut of hers?"
Hiccup had a good point. What did I think of her? She was nice. She had a bit of an attitude, but don't we all? But in all honesty, I hadn't known her long enough to really think much of her.
Soon we had enough fish to take back to Aurora. Hiccup picked up the basket and set it on my back before climbing on my back himself. After he was settled I took off.
We made it back to where Aurora was and I landed a few yards from her. She looked at us expectantly.
"Back so soon?" She thought.
"Didn't miss me too much, did you?" I thought back jokingly. She laughed a little
"You wish."
Hiccup took the basket and dumped it over, the contents spilling out. I remembered when Hiccup would do that for me. Odd seeing it from his point of view.
Aurora looked at it before taking bites of the fish. She was halfway through when she looked up at me.
"Thanks," she told me.
"Eh, don't get used to it."
But I had a feeling this would become routine.
How was that chapter? R&R, tell me what you think :) Ideas are always welcome! Be looking out for the next chapter :D
