Ch. 6: Toothless? Windchaser?

(Shelen POV)

I happily skipped down to the cove that morning with a basket of fish. I finally had a friend. A friend that was a dragon! I smiled at the thought and quickened my pace to the cove.

(Hiccup POV)

I was so exited to see Toothless, he would be thrilled to know he may have a chance to fly again! At that thought I patted the invention I was holding under my arm and quickened my pace to the cove.

(Shelen POV)

I entered the cove and set down the heavy basket I was carrying. I then lifted the lid and checked the contents. There were some cod, some trout, a halabat, and a yellow black striped eel. I wasn't sure if the Night Fury would like the eel but it wouldn't hurt to try.
I didn't notice that there was something watching me until the last second.

(Nightdevil POV)

I watched the entrance to the cove anxiously for the male hatchling. I then suddenly heard footsteps. I looked up and saw...A stranger. My eyes narrowed to slits as I watched the human enter. What was she doing in the cove? Then I remembered that she wasn't a friend so it wouldn't hurt to elemimate the intruder.
I bunched up my shoulders again and opened my wings to look menacing. I then measured the distance. It would be an easy kill. I took aim and jumped with a shreik-like roar! The human turned as I was almost apon her and then just before I could get my claws on her I felt claws on me and I was pushed back!

(3rd peson POV)

Shelen gasped as her Night Fury friend pounced and tackled the lighter one. They rolled around and rithed like snakes. Both roaring at eachother. Clawing eachother and biting. Shelen moved out of the way then saw...Hiccup? Yes, it was Hiccup. He too was carrying a basket but also a strange long object under one arm. He was gaping in horror at the Night Furies as they fought eachother.

"Hiccup?" Shelen said in surprise.

"Shelen?" Hiccup said in the same level of surprise.

"What are you doing here?" They both said at the same time.

The Night Furies were having a heated conversation of their own.

"How dare you attack my human!" Windstrike roared, not recodnizing Nightdevil.

"Your human was in my terratory!" Nightdevil, also not recodnizing the other, roared back as they continued to fight.

"YOUR terratory?" I found this place first!" Windstrike shreiked at the younger. He growled a response, then both leapt up and ran to their human' sides. Though they had only known the creatures for a few days they had already grown rather attached.

"This is Windchaser," Shelen introduced her dragon friend. The golden eyed beast snarled at the other dragon in reasponse.

"Um, this is Toothless," Hiccup introduced his friend. The dragon glared at Windchaser.

"So that was the dragon you freed three days ago." Shelen said in surprise.

"How did you know?" He asked rather nervous.

"I was there when you did. I hid behind a tree and watched you free...Toothless." She explained as Toothless lifted his earflaps at the name. "I was the one to free Windchaser."

"What do you mean free?"

"You caught two dragons. Windchaser and Toothless."

"That's impossible!" Hiccup said in amazment. Then after a bit more talk, Toothless poked at Hiccup's basket.

"Oh, right! You hungry, Toothless?" Hiccup asked his dragon. The reptile bobbed his head eagerly.

"I brought you some nice big fish!" Hiccup said and dumped the basket. Windchaser turned to her own human in expectancy.

"Don't worry, I have some for you!" Shelen assured her dragon. She then lead Windchaser to the basket and dumped it. Just then she heard a shreik and looked up to see Toothless recoiling away from a striped eel. Hiccup then quickly tossed the animal and Toothless began to eat. Shelen then turned to her dragon and saw that she was sniffing the pile of fish causiously. She suddeny caught sight of her eel. Shelen waited and saw that Windchaser was sniffing it curiously then she scooped it up in her mouth and crunched down. After that she ate eel like a human slurping up spagette, and giving Toothless a sly smirk, she returned to the other fish.

As Windchaser ate, Shelen glanced back over at Hiccup and his friend. She then saw Toothless was spreading his wings in a slow fashion. He then crouched down and pushed up, thrusting his wings back and was airborne. Shelen watched in awe as the great dragon made his way for the cove wall. But he suddenly lost lift and began to fall. Shelen placed her hand to her mouth as she watched the dragon shreik and try to regain altitude. Suddenly he was up again. She watched as he went over the wall and then banked back toward the cove. That's when she saw Hiccup hanging for dear life by the dragon's tail. He looked overjoyed and shouted about how he had made something work. Toothless then made a sharp turn and Hiccup was thrown off of the dragon's tail. He fell into the water and Toothless followed suit soon after.

"Hiccup! Are you ok?" Shelen asked worriedly. She didn't know why though. Hiccup waded back to the edge of the pond and Shelen helped him up.

"I'm fine," He assured her then turned to Toothless who was staring at his own tail. "I just figured out how help Toothless fly again."

"Again?" Shelen asked, then she saw the Night Fury's tail. It had a brown folded up tailfin. One of Hiccup's inventions. She then turned to Windchaser. Hiccup saw the dragon's tail and noticed her missing fin. The dragon then noticed him looking and she moved the tail away.

"I did that to her, too, didn't I?" Hiccup asked saddly. Shelen nodded. He gave the Night Fury a sympothetic look and turned back to Shelen.

"Since I did this, I have to fix it." He said. Shelen nodded again and looked at Windchaser. She looked up and cocked her head to the right in curiousity.

"How?" Shelen asked.

"If you want to help, we can both find a way to keep them airborne together." He explained.

"That sounds great!" Shelen replied enthusiastically.

"But, how am I going to help Windchaser if the fake fin is on Toothless?" Shelen asked. "I mean, he probably wouldn't like for a different Night Fury to be using his tailfin." She said pointing at the fin. Hiccup also looked at his invention.

"Ok, I will show you howto make one fist. You can try what I do." He said. Shelen smiled and glanced at Windchaser.

"Ok, I'll try!" She finished in agreement. And so the two were ready to get started.
