To cupcakeranger : That is also one of my favorite parts! Sabrina and I have a little inside joke for that part, it involves me trying to mimic that accent! LOL! I knew that the picture he was trying to draw was Hiccup, but when I paused the movie and tried to point it out to my parents, THEY DIDN'T SEE IT! I even went up to the screen and drew it out for them, I told them that they don't understand true art!

Chapter 5 Part 2
They're taking the hobbits to Isenguard! - Legolas, The Lord of the Rings
Hiccup's POV
Thousands of people have seen this, Hiccup, you have so many fans!
That was the last thing Megan had said to me before she drifted off to sleep.
It technically translates to: Hiccup, so many people have stalked you! They followed your every movement and you didn't even know they were there!
Thanks, Megan that makes my situation so much better!
Another small noise sounded through the night. Causing me to flinch, turn around, and look for any signs of the invisible stalkers.
Nothing.
Only the soft pattering of rain broke through the eerie silence. Toothless wined and pushed his black, scaly head underneath my arm, probably attempting to comfort me.
"It's alright, bud" I whispered, patting his head gently, "Everything is going to be fine…hopefully."
The answer seemed to satisfy the reptile, who then laid his head back on the white flooring, carpet, as Megan had called it, and slowly closed his jade green eyes. I once again let my gaze drift around the room; Megan and Sabrina were both asleep on Megan's bed, a giant wall of pillows and stuffed animals? (Yeah, that's what Megan had called them), separated the two.
"If you kick me one more friggin' time!" Megan had yelled at Sabrina, shaking her fist in the air, and proceeding to stack the objects up like she was preparing for war.
These girls were…uh…odd, that's the only nice way to put it. But, they were my only chance of getting back home, and the seemed nice- no, starch that- Megan seemed nice, Sabrina was most likely to be lurking in a corner somewhere, waiting to pounce on Toothless when he strolled by.
The two were opposites, but yet, they seemed to be best friends.
From what I could observe, they were both blonde, Sabrina more than Megan. Sabrina shorter, Megan taller. Sabrina witty remarks, Megan gentle approaches. Sabrina loose, Megan obsessive. Sabrina troublesome, Megan a little less troublesome, but still very much so.
And I thought my dad had it rough with me.
Lighting flashed through the sky, illuminating the room for a moment. Megan groaned, shifted in her sleep, and muttered something inaudible. Sabrina just reached over the barrier and smacked her saying, "Shut up…" Sleep working its way through her usually loud voice.
Lighting flashed again. Man, Thor must be having a hay day up there, I wonder if the weather is the same back in Berk.
A painful longing pulled at my heart.
Home.
It was so far away.
Dad, Gobber, Fishlegs, the Twins, even Snotlout! Why in Hel did I miss him?
Another name struck me.
Astrid…..
Gods! Why her, I shouldn't even be think of her! Not after-
Lighting flashed, Megan sat bolt upright and screamed.
"Dammit! Go to sleep woman!" Sabrina groaned, rolling over and covering her head with the pillow.
I just continued to stare wide-eyed at Megan, who knew this girl could scream? Hopefully her parents didn't hear, she made it very clear that Toothless and I couldn't leave the room until they were gone tomorrow morning, in fear that her parents might catch us.
Sweat dripped across her forehead, tears brimmed her eyes, and her breathing was heavy, quick, and labored. It was not long before she burst from the bed and bolted into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind her with a soft bang.
I glanced over at Toothless, who was on full alert, his ears standing straight up, his eyes opened wide, and pupils formed into slits. He was in the position faster than you could blink. The dragon then did something that surprised me. He placed his head on the small of my back and pushed me to my feet, catching me when I stumbled on my prosthetic, and motioned his head towards the bathroom, as if to say: Go see what's wrong.
"What?" I whispered to him, steadying myself, making sure not to fall again, "Why?"
Something's troubling the girl, His look said, as he waved his head in the direction of the door again.
"I know that!" My whisper must have gotten louder, because it was then I felt a hard object whack the back of my head.
"Ouch!" I spun around to meet the culprit, Sabrina, who was sitting up in the bed, and clearly not so happy.
Her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and if looks could kill, I would be dead on the floor.
"Go. To. Sleep. You. Dork." She whispered, venom leaking from her lips and hanging in the air.
I gulped. This girl could get pretty scary. And I do mean scary.
I then attempted to sit back down, but a growl from Toothless told me otherwise.
Sighing, I bent down and picked up the object that had been made a deadly projectile, a book, and looked it over. The title seemed to be in a different language, the runes were oddly shaped, one of them looked like two sides of a square, the other like a circle, and the others were too odd to describe.
That's weird, we both spoke the same language here, so, shouldn't their writing be like ours back in Berk? Shrugging it off, I clutched the book to my chest and slowly made my way over to where Megan had fled.
I reached my hand up to knock on the door, but a small sound from the other side stopped me.
Crying, she was crying. That must have been one pretty bad nightmare at my guess.
Gently, I rapped on the door, I was responded to by a shaky gasp, and a faint "What?"
"Uh, are you alright?" I whispered, not sure was to do.
There was a long pause.
"Yeah…" came the faint voice again.
This was strange, how could a girl that had been so loud over the past few hours be so quite now.
"You don't sound like it…"
Another shaky sob answered me, then a, "It's all my fault…"
I was slightly taken aback by this, "What's your fault?"
Long pause.
"Can I, uh, come in?" I prodded, gently, placing my hand on the door knob.
No response. Only the slight click of the lock.
Guess that's my invitation to come in.
The room was dark, only the moon light gave evidence of the surroundings. Megan was sitting on the floor, her back pressed up against the wall, her arms wrapped around her knees, and her head sitting on top of them.
She was crying, really crying.
Quietly, I shut the door behind me and sat down next to her, taking precautions not to fall.
"It's all my fault…" She whispered again.
"What's your fault?"
"The reason your here!" Her sudden outburst caught me by surprise, causing me to flinch, "This whole freaking situation! If I hadn't been stupid enough to pull that freaking wire! You would still be at home!"
Another gasp of sobs escaped her lips.
I felt sorry for Megan. She seriously believed that this was all her fault, that everything happened because of one thing she did.
"It's not your fault." I retorted, proceeding to (I still can't believe I did this) pull her into a hug. The act must have caught her by surprise also, because she gasped, but she soon accepted the gesture and buried her face into my shoulder and gripping my shirt in her hand. Liquid tears staining my green tunic.
"Everything happens for a reason," I told her, gently rubbing the small of her back, a gesture my own mother used to do to me after I had been picked on by the other children, "There is a reason I'm here, there is a reason you pulled that…wire…there is a reason that all of this is going on, we just need to figure it out."
Megan let out another shaky gasp. How many of these was she going to do? And pulled away from me.
"If you say so…" She yawned, and wiped her sleeve across her eyes, drying the tears, but leaving the red puffiness as evidence of what happened.
Awkward silence.
"Hey, uh, Megan?" I prodded, holding out the book that Sabrina had thrown at me.
"Where did you get this?" She questioned, taking the book from my hands.
"Sabrina threw it at me." I stated simply.
"She doesn't like to be woken up." Megan let out a slight chuckle, I was glad to see she was feeling better.
"What does it say?" I ventured, curiosity getting the better of me.
"You can't read English?" She sounded a little surprised, "See," Megan dragged her fingers over the words just like I had done, "The-Lord-Of-The-Rings"
She stated each word out loud as her finger touched them.
"But this isn't a movie, it's a book." Sabrina had called it a movie earlier, now I was confused.
"It is a book." She began, yawning again, then continuing her sentence, "Later on people made it into a movie."
"How do you make a movie?" I asked, yawing, it's crazy how contagious it is.
"That's really complicated, can I explain it to you tomorrow?" Now Megan sounded really tired, she covered her mouth and yawned again. Odin, if I yawn one more time because of her!
I nodded, silently wishing that she would explain it to me now. Their world was so much different from ours, much more advanced, complicated, and really interesting.
I wish I knew how to read their language, how to fit in here. So that way I could learn so much more!
We found ourselves at the point of another awkward silence.
"Uh, you should, uh, go back to bed." I muttered, sheepishly, as I rubbed my hand across the back of my neck.
She seemed to perk up a little bit, got to her feet, and held out her hand to assist me. I accepted the kind gesture and let her haul me to my feet, and catch me as I lurched forward.
Silently, Megan shut the bathroom door behind us, crawling back into her bed and placing the book beside her on the floor as I laid back down by Toothless, resting my head on one of his legs. The Night Fury proceeded to tuck his wing around me, like a living blanket.
"Hiccup?" Megan's voice broke the two minute silence.
"Yeah?" She was sitting up in the bed, looking straight at me.
"Thank you…" She let a small smile slip out between her lips.
"No problem." I closed my eyes, preparing to let sleep take me away, but a certain girl had other plans.
"Hiccup?" She questioned again.
"Huh?" I opened my eyes to see Megan laying on her stomach, head on the foot of the bed and feet up on her pillow.
"What happened to your mom?"
My face went blank. That question caught me completely off guard.
Painful memories tugged at me heart and mind, tearing through walls that I had spent so many years to build.
"I'll tell you later…" Was all I could choke out, tears were already brimming my eyes.
"Okay…" Was all Megan said.
I closed my eyes again, letting a single tear slide down my cheek. The sound of a creaking bed was heard through the quite as Megan got back into a comfortable position.
Why did she have to ask that? The question tore through my mind. Memories flooding out through my eyes as tears.
Why?
I felt Toothless wrap his wing around me more tightly, as if he could feel my pain.
Sleep began to invade my thoughts, stripping away my consciousness.
Good night mom, I thought gently
I wish you were still here.
I allowed the dreamless sleep to take me away.
