Hiccup stands there, frozen in the spot with unspeakable fear. The little boy in front of him, Flightmare, knows his secret.
Then again, all the vampires would know just by smelling him if it wasn't for him being ignored by other werewolves.
"I'm honestly surprised a werewolf has entered the Vampire Castle with no interruption…" His eyes grow darker as he lets out a small growl. "So who are you and what business do you have here?"
Hiccup swallows the lump in his throat as he starts to shake with terror.
"I-I…um…I-I-"
"Flighty!" Suddenly, a flash of green and red knocks down the poor boy to the ground and Hiccup gawks at the sight of a young girl with green hair, a few red streaks in it and ruby red eyes. She looks like a six year old but her outfit is a dark green, gothic dress with a cute red ribbon around the waist of the dress, tied by a bow at the back of it.
"G-Gah! S-Speedy, get off!" The young boy blushes with embarrassment as the girl only respond to cuddling against his chest.
"Na uh! You're so cuddly…" She purrs with content. Hiccup couldn't help but find this quite adorable. Speedy blinks and notices Hiccup before smiling. "Hi hi! You must be Flighty's new friend! I hope he didn't scare you because that would be mean! Who are you? What's your name? Are you a human?" Hiccup blinks at her very fast way of talking while Flightmare sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.
"Speedy, now's not the-"
"Oh wow! You must be Hiccup, Toothless's bride! Funny though, cuz you're a guy but I don't care because Toothless loves guys like you! My name is Speed Stinger but you can call me Speedy! Sound like a guy, isn't it but you don't seem to judge! You must be good! Isn't Hiccup good, Flightmare?" Flightmare narrows his eyes and about to say no when he sees the child-like, twinkling eyes in front of him. His posture weakens and he starts talking like a babbling idiot.
"Um…Well…That is…urmmmm…" He blushes softly and scratches the back of his head. Speedy giggles and gets off of him, pulling him up.
"Since you're free, let's go play!"
"A-Ah! Wait, Speedy-!"
Before he can finish his sentence, he was dragged out of the library with Hiccup sighing in relief.
"That was too close…" He walks into one of the bookshelves, looking at different books on them. Big, small, thick, thin, every book you can find is right in this library... "Let's see…" Hiccup scans through the shelves. "Dracula's Bride, the Different Taste of Blood, Recipes for Blood Ala Sheep…" Hiccup shivers at the titles of the books before he notices a dark blue book. "Ah! The Book of Mythical Creatures!" Hiccup takes it out and walks towards the nearest table before settling down and starts flipping through the pages.
"Loch Ness Monster, The Kraken, Pontianak*…Ah ha! Vampires." He scans through the pages and reads quietly.
Vampires. One of the most common and strongest mythical creatures you could ever face. They are walking, talking, blood-sucking undead beings who are unholy. They are known to be weak under the sunlight but having a generation of vampires being immune to this weakness, it is just a fiction.
Their sense of smell, to say, is almost as strong as a werewolf's and their speed is lightning fast, being able to capture their prey easily. They also have the uncanny ability to smell the blood of any being without having any blood being spilled, such as when a human approach them, they can tell it's a human. However, in the 20th century, the vampires are no longer interested in human or mythical creature blood. They have begun drinking blood from animals such as birds, goats, etc.
"Thank Thor for that…" Hiccup thought as he reads on.
However, there are dangerous strengths and weaknesses for vampires. They can increase their power by double when the Solar Eclipse appears while werewolves weaken on this day. But it may also be counted as a mating season for young vampires…
"I don't even want to know how this person got this info…"
Putting a stake through their heart is never tested so it is unknown whether it's true or not. But the most helpful yet least well-known weakness they have is during the Lunar Eclipse. That is also the time when werewolves have a double increase in their strength, speed and ferocity. Vampires will have their powers cut in half and they will be powerless to this.
"Lunar Eclipse…But that's tonight!" He suddenly feels his whole body paled. That's the night where he will transform. Every time there's a Lunar Eclipse, werewolves will have no choice but to transform under the moonlight into their animal counterpart. Should Hiccup do so in the castle…
He'll be dead!
"No!" Hiccup shakes his head and sighs. "I can't be like this…I need to think a plan…" He flips through a few pages, reading through the facts of the mythical creatures. Suddenly, something caught his eye in the werewolf section.
In ancient times, there was once a being so dangerous and dark that it was nearly as strong as a Vampire King. It took 5 powerful mages to defeat this beast. But one of them has sealed the being into a vessel. Even is the vessel is dead, the beast will transfer to someone who would be worthy of its strength…
The vessel of the beast is unknown…But a poem can transform that vessel to it, bring a bloodbath onto the war…
He feels the urge to turn to the next page, enchanted by this info. But this feeling…it's like it isn't his…
What could it be?
"Hiccup!"
He snaps out of his trance and closes the book, looking at a pair of bright, yellow eyes. "Oh! Hey, Stormfly!" Hiccup greets the busty, beautiful woman in front of him.
Her light blue hair that reaches till just above her ass looks like waterfalls, with her curvy body attracting almost every male in the castle, her lips a soft, pink color and her chest a busty size that a lot of perverted vampires would love to do with those.
Too bad for them, Stormfly is a lesbian.
"Hiccup, do you think you can come with me for a moment? I want to show you something!" Hiccup stares at Stormfly for a while, unsure what to answer. Flightmare would have told every vampire in the castle about his little secret…
"Um…sure?" Before he can process what he said, Stormfly smiles widely and grabs Hiccup by the arms.
"Great! Let's go!"
"Ahh! W-Wait!"
They run out of the door with Hiccup almost tripping a few times. Without them knowing, three figures are standing next to the entrance of the library.
"Geez, Speedy, you don't have to pull me so hard." Flightmare said, rubbing his shoulder that has been pulled harshly. The girl next to him giggles.
"Sorry…But it was funny to see your expression." Flightmare blushes dark red and growls.
"S-Shut up!"
"Kiri?" The two vamps stare at Kiri, who is in Speedy's hands.
"Kiri, I followed as you said but…are you sure Toothless will be safe…?" Flightmare asks worriedly, earning a nod from Kiri.
"Ki kiii…" Speedy stares at the retreating form of Hiccup and Stormfly, tilting her head a bit.
"…Kiri, are you sure Hiccup is the one?" Kiri nods again, bouncing in her palms.
"Ki ki kirriiiii!" The puffball pouts, showing that it's displeased at not being trusted.
"But Kiri, what happen if Hiccup chose to take Toothless's head? What if he's one of those that bent on killing vampires? Why do you trust this werewolf so strongly?" Kiri stares at Flightmare with a stern look as a mentor would to their student.
"Kiri." With that one word, the two vampires grow silent. After a few moment of thoughts, Flightmare sighs.
"Fine…Since you think he's the perfect match for Toothless and a trusted werewolf…we will respect your decision."
"Ki!" Kiri cheers with a smile while Speedy bits her lower lip.
"But…"
"Hm?" Flightmare stares at Speedy, who is still staring at the direction where Hiccup had left.
"It's been bothering me but…" She didn't continue at first. Her brows furrow in confusion before she looks at the ground with a confused gaze. "When the other vampires smelled Hiccup, they didn't notice his werewolf smell…But…when Kiri, you and I smelled him…"
"Yea…?" Flightmare blinks in confusion, tilting his head a little. Speedy hesitated before muttering.
"I understand he has a werewolf blood but…" Speedy looks directly at Flightmare with a serious look on her face.
"Why does Hiccup have the blood of a werewolf and a vampire?"
With the Lunar Eclipse being tonight, Hiccup begins a plan to take the head. But unknown to him, Flightmare, Speedy and Kiri know his identity! And not only that, Hiccup's blood is mixed with a vampire! What could this mean? Is there something for him in the future? What will happen next? Find out in the next chapter!
*Pontianak - It is a vampiric ghost in Malay and Indonesian mythology. It is also known as a matianak or kuntilanak, sometimes shortened to kunti. The pontianak are said to be the spirits of woman who died while pregnant. This is often confused with a related creature, the lang suir, which is the ghost of a woman who died while giving birth. The word pontianak is reportedly a corruption of the Malay perempuan mati beranak, or "woman who died in childbirth". Another theory is that the word is a combination of puan (woman) + mati (die) + anak (child). The term matianak means "death of a child"
