Chapter 2: Help from Hiccup
I ran up the hill to my house that I lived in with my brother and father. Luckily when I burst in the door, dad wasn't anywhere to be seen. He must've had chief business to attend to. You see, our local village nutjob, Mildew, really hated the dragons and had been doing whatever he could to get rid of the dragons ever since we befriended them. Thankfully, no one really listened to him.
I ran up the stairs to the split room I shared with Hiccup and just as I had thought, he was sitting on his bed sketching a drawing of Toothless, who was laying on his own bed across from my brother, in a very dignified way. Hiccup looked up as I entered the room and smiled at me.
"Well, where have you been, little sis?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
I rolled my eyes. "Exploring. Where else?"
Hiccup chuckled. "Of course. What was I thinking?"
"I found a dragon!" I exclaimed. Hiccup's smile faded into one of shock.
"Seriously?" he asked. "What kind?"
"She said she was called an Electric Fang." I answered.
Hiccup looked away, that thoughtful expression on his face that I knew well spreading across his face. "A new species…" he muttered. "That's amazing."
"I bonded with her." I said. Hiccup looked at me, surprise written all over his face. He ran his fingers through his dark brown hair, his emerald eyes sparkling with amusement. "I named her Skalm." I continued. "She's really nice, but she was hurt and I need your help. I cared for her injuries, but she's sick. I could feel a fever emanating from her scales."
Hiccup sighed and started to climb off his bed. It was then I noticed that he had taken his prosthetic off, not that I could blame him. With the fact that it was metal and wood stuck against the stump at the end of his leg, there was no doubt it hurt him quite often. I was completely aware of the fact that he took it off when he wasn't planning on getting up again. He put it on and got up, setting his drawing stuff on his bed.
"Let's go." he said. He looked at Toothless and patted the side of his leg. "Come on, bud. Let's go meet my little sister's new friend." Toothless chattered excitedly and nearly knocked me and Hiccup over to get down the stairs. My brother almost fell, so I grabbed his shoulder and steadied him.
"You still not used to that leg?" I questioned, narrowing my eyes at him. He glared at me.
"It's only been seven months little sis." he answered. "That's not exactly enough time, you know."
I rolled my eyes. "Toothless got used to his prosthetic in less than seven months."
Hiccup glared at me even harder. "Toothless is a dragon, sis." he said. I chuckled.
"Whatever." I said. "Come on! Skalm needs us!"
Hiccup nodded. "Alright, alright!" he said, starting to walk down the stairs. I followed, Toothless trailing after me. I swear, that dragon's loyalty is unmatched to say the least.
I led Hiccup to the clearing where I'd been tending to Skalm. My brother gasped as his eyes fell on the electric fang. Skalm looked up at Hiccup, then looked at me.
"Is this Hiccup?" she asked me. I nodded. Skalm smirked, or at least it sounded like one. I think Hiccup noticed the smirk because he glared at Skalm.
"What's so funny?" Skalm didn't answer him. She just laid her head down on her front paws. I raised an eyebrow at her and she sighed.
"I'm laughing because you're the human who gave the Night Fury such a ridiculous name." she said. Hiccup glared at her.
"Hey, I gave him that name because when I first met him, I gave him fish and when he reached out, mouth open to take it, I didn't see any teeth so I wondered why he had been toothless when I could've sworn I'd seen teeth not that much before."
Skalm just continued to chuckle and I sighed. "Hiccup's here to help so I'd really stop laughing if I were you Skalm." That shut her up pretty darn fast and Hiccup took the opportunity to kneel down beside her, inspecting her wounds. He turned back to me, a smile on his face.
"Well, you did a pretty good job on the bandages, Rana." He said. I smiled at the praise he was giving me. "Now, let's see how we can counteract that fever." he turned back towards Skalm and put a hand on her head.
For the next several hours, Hiccup worked to bring Skalm's fever down. Whatever he was doing (I wasn't exactly paying attention), it seemed to be working. Skalm seemed to be calming down. I grinned at Hiccup.
"I knew I did the right thing by telling you." I said. Hiccup turned back towards me and smiled as he stood up.
"You can tell me anything, little sister." he said. I smiled.
"I knew that." I replied. He raised an eyebrow at me, but the smile remained on his face. He put an arm around my shoulders.
"Sure." he said. "Now, let's get back to the village. We'll need Dad's help to move Skalm to a safer area."
I nodded and turned to Skalm. "Will you be alright here on your own tonight?" I asked. Skalm looked at me like I was crazy, which maybe I was.
"I've been on my own since I was a hatchling." she said. "I think I can survive one more night on my own."
I smirked and began to follow Hiccup and Toothless back home.
How was this? Took me a while to nail it!
Read and review please!
