Chapter 2
We flew for about 10 minutes, before i decided i needed to get off for a bit. Hiccup landed on a secluded island, not far from the edge. He jumped off of toothless's back, and helped me off. I walked to the water, and dipped my toes in.
"So, do i get to know your secrets? Or do you wish to stay a mystery a while longer?" Hiccup said with a smile, as he sat by me.
"If i tell you, you have to promise me, you won't tell the others."
"Cross my heart, what is it."
"I'm not a dragon that can shapeshift, so you can put that out of your mind." i said with a small smile. "But i'm not exactly... Human, either."
"If you aren't human, then what are you? Because you look pretty human to me."
"Well you see, I never sing no matter how much I want to, I'm near the water so much, and I talk to Water dragon's, and I never fully submerge myself in water and when ever it rains, I stay inside, because if I ever get wet above my knees, well... I turn into a mermaid... or I guess to you and your friends, where you're vikings, I would be called a siren..." I looked at Hiccup who was looking at me in disbelief. "And you think I'm crazy..." I stood up and walked away from the water.
"No I don't think you're crazy, it's just, I've only heard stories about Sire- er... mermaids, none of them good, and you are the most kind hearted, and beautiful person I've ever met. So it's hard to believe, that you, are a Siren, a woman that's half fish, and lures sailors to their deaths with her singing."
"that's not exactly our choice, the singing thing, we don't kill sailors on purpose, we live around sharp rocks, so that it's harder to discover us, we sing because it's often how we voice our feelings, and our voices are hypnotic, so any sailor close by, follows it, and always crashes. But they don't die, they get turned into merpeople, and the captain of the ship, almost always ends up marrying the Siren that caused their shipwreck. Unless of course that Siren is the eldest daughter of King Triton..."
"i still can't see it... there is no way you're a Siren."
"i'll prove it to you." i said taking off my shirt. Revealing my blue under shirt.
"whoa! What are you doing Jorah!" Hiccup said looking over at me and quickly turning his back, as i slipped off my pants.
"going for a swim." i ran to the water, and dove under once my knees were covered, and quickly stripped away the rest of my clothes.
I stayed under for a good five minutes, as my dark purple fin formed. Once i was able to breath under water, i swam around for a few minutes, getting all of my pent up energy out.
Hiccup's POV
i waited for Jorah to come back up, five minutes passed and nothing, maybe she was crazy. "Jorah?" i stood close to the water trying to see. "JORAH!" still nothing. I quickly stripped leaving me in just my underwear. "i'm coming Jorah." and ran into the water after her. She had to be here somewhere. I swam for as long as i could hold my breath, and surfaced, looking around me, had she been attacked by a dragon? "Jorah... where are you?"
Jorah's POV
I looked up and saw hiccup swimming, was he looking for me... oh yeah, he doesn't believe me... i should probably swim up there and show him i'm alright.
"Jorah... Where are you?" i heard him say as i surffaced quietly behind him, sure to keep my chest covered.
"i'm right here silly!" i said happily, as he jumped and turned towards me. "i told you, i'm a mermaid, i can breathe the water."
"FUCK! JORAH YOU SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH!" He shouted, and pulled me into a hug, my bare chest against his, i kept my fin away from him, not wanting to scare him more. "No one should be able to stay under water that long without air." he was genuinely worried.
"Hiccup, calm down, i told you..." i glided my fin across his bare legs. "Mermaid." I pulled out of his grip, and swam away a bit. Once i was far enough that i wouldn't hurt him. I turned my back to him, and jumped out of the water as high as i could, and dived back into the water, being sure to show my fin fully to Hiccup, and hoping my chest was mostly hidden.
When i resurffaced in front of him, his look of disbelief had turned into a look of utter shock.
"you... you're really a mermaid... and, you're topless... and how do you get your legs back?"
"oh... one second..." i dove back under to grab my discarded clothes from the bottom, where we were swimming wasn't to deep. Once i had my clothes, i swam back to the surface, and handed the wet clothes to hiccup. "could you please put those on the beach to dry? I'll explain everything, i just need to swim a little longer."
Hiccup nodded, and went back to shore. I swam for a few more minutes, before surffacing, and swimming to the shore. I laid on my stomach, covering my breasts, and keeping the end of my fin in the water.
Hiccup came and sat by me, now wearing pants, but still no shirt. "so..."
"Okay, i know it's awkward, that i'm... topless, but it makes sense when you think about it... i don't have a top because i have nothing to make a top here, that won't slow me down when i swim. You're human clothes, they get to heavy when their wet, so they slow us down, way to much, makes it impossible to escape a predator if we come across one." i explained, still covering my breasts.
"yeah that makes sense, it just caught me off guard is all." Hiccup said, kind of embarassed. "what about your tail, when does it turn back into legs?"
"once my legs are dry."
"then shouldn't you take the end of your fin out of the water?"
"i said Legs, not toes." i smiled. Then realized he was staring at my cleavage. "i can put my undershirt on if you'd like."
"what? Oh! Uh it's up to you, i don't mind..." he said, trying his best not to sound pervy about it.
I smiled and looked at toothless. "esehariliel harnyeltes, draharenncueloah. Tahar taelusc drahar izzel oahar ruabbtes." (come over toothless, no need to be distant.)
toothless walked over and laid behind hiccup, so he could lean against him if he felt like it.
"how can you talk to dragons?"
"any one can talk to all creatures, as long as they speak in Tritanian... i can teach you if you want."
"sure."
"let's start with simple things, like names. Toothless, is 'Draharenncueloah."
"Drahernuloah?"
I laughed slightly at how much he screwed up. "no it's Dra-Har."
"Dra-Har."
"Enn-cu."
"Enn-cu."
"El-oah."
"el-oah?"
"good, now put it all together.
"Dra-Har-Enn-Cu-El-Oah?" Hiccup said choppily. "Draharenncueloah?"
"yup just like that!" i said happily.
"what about Jorah, how do you say that in Tritanian?"
i smiled shyly. "Abbusceldra." i said slowly, hoping he would get all the sounds the first try.
"Abbusceldra."
"yeah, it's not as pretty as the human way to say it... I prefer Jorah."
"what about mine?"
"Oomunaesecynal."
"that sounds kinda cool, say it again.
"why don't you try?"
"because i like it better coming from you, you're more fluent in it." he laid on his stomach and was facing me.
"Oomunaesecynal." i said a little quicker. "i want to here you say it."
"oomunecyel."
"you slaughtered that on purpose."
"maybe, maybe not, better sound it out for me, just to be sure."
"Oom-Una." i said, unconciously inching slightly closer to his face.
"Oom-Una." he said, inching towards me.
"Ese."
"Ese."
"Cynal."
"cynal." he said quietly and his face centimeters away from my own.
"oomunaesecynal."
"I'm going to kiss you now." he said quietly and quickly so it sounded like his name. He got closer, and i followed, within seconds, his warm lips mashed with mine. The kiss lasted minutes, but it felt like hours, the world froze, it was just us.
When he pulled away, we looked into each other's eyes. "i'm sorry about that, i just couldn't resist any longer... i guess you were right, your voice is hypnotic."
"only my singing voice... but nice try." i smiled. "you know this can't happen again... you're with Asterid..." i said sadly, as i pushed away into a sitting position, my back turned to him, my breasts hidden by my long sandy hair.
"No i'm not, she broke up with me this morning, and my heart hasn't been her's for a while..."
"You can't love me Hiccup... I'm a mermaid, and the only way I can stay here, and be a human with you, is if i give up my singing... and I want to be here, i want to stay with you and your friends, but if i give up my singing voice... I lose the last thing i have of my mother... besides, my father will never let me give away my voice... he has me betrothed to a tyrant of the sea, I'm only here to find an artifact... once i have it, i must return to Tritania, and give the last bit of freedom i have, for a peace that will only last a day..."
"Then lie..." Hiccup said quietly. "when and if you find this Artifact, don't let your father know, do what you can to stay." he was now hugging me from behind.
By now my fin had turned back into legs, and i sat there, completely bare, in the sand, and being held by the only person, Human or Siren, that could make me feel important, and not just a piece to a large complicated puzzle.
"i'll do what i can Hiccup... but if my father finds out that i'm in love with a human... he'll come and kill you... all of you..."
"so don't tell him."
"i can't stop him, he has fish and water dragons checking up on me all the time. As long as we are close to the water, he will know everything i do."
Hiccup hesitantly let me go, and watched the water with suspicion.
I gave a light laugh and stood up. "could you get me my shirt and pants please?" pulling my under clothes on.
Hiccup stared at me for a moment, before getting up and grabbing my other clothes.
Once he handed them to me, i pulled my pants over my slender legs, and as i pulled my shirt over my head, he grabbed the bottom hem of it and pulled it down over my torso, gently gliding his warm hands over as much of my body as he could.
I blushed a deep red, as i pulled my hair into a high ponytail.
"so as long as we aren't near the water, i can do this?" hiccup said quietly, before softly kissing me.
Unknown POV
I watched from a distance as she let that human embrace and caress her. As he kissed her perfect pink lips. That was supposed to be mine, all of her, should belong to me!
I dove back into the water, i had to tell Triton, and find a way to claim her as my own.
Jorah's POV
After a few moments of kissing Hiccup, i heard a distant splash, and pulled away to look at the water.
"Jorah?" Hiccup asked, taking my hand. "What's wrong?"
"nothing... probably just my imagination..." i said. "We should go back to the edge..." i turned back to him, worry evident in my eyes. As i walked back to toothless.
"Hey." Hiccup said pulling me back to him, and lifting my chin so i was looking in his eyes. "Smile, your smile is beautiful. Don't let it worry you to much. Okay?"
i couldn't help but smile, Hiccup truly cared. "Okay, let's fly a little longer."
