Hey everyone. For some reason a bunch of my sentences were deleted half way through on the last chapter. Sorry about that!

Merida looked at Hiccup fearfully, gripping him just a little bit tighter.

"What do you mean you don't know?" She demanded. "You're Hiccup the Dragon Tamer, the boy who can make friends with any beast. You've changed the Vikings' opinion on dragons, the same Vikings who are known for their stubborness! How can you not know what to do?"

Hiccup whipped his head around and glared at her. "This is a breed I've never even heard of! I have no idea what to do. I guess we should just... Go down there. Carefully."

Merida sighed audibly, and as Toothless slowly flew to the ground, she leaped off of his back and jumped onto a near by already had an arrow strung. As Hiccup and Toothless flew by, she said, "I've got you covered. Try to... Do what you do. If you need me to shoot it, just give me the signal."

Hiccup admired her skill and determination. He knew that he would never be able to win her affections, hell, he wasn't even sure if he had feelings for her. But whatever was going on in his heart, he knew one thing.

She truly was beautiful

Hiccup snapped out of his trance and jumped into a nearby tree, as Merida had done, because the tree cover was too thick for both the dragon and the boy to get through. However, instead of Merida's cat-like landing, he missed the branch and tumbled to the forest floor.

"Hiccup!" Merida shrieked. "Are-Are you alright?"

The boy shakily lifted an arm and gave her a thumbs up and then got to his feet, groaning. Toothless fluttered down beside him, positioned around the boy in a protective manner.

And together, they faced the dragon.

Its scales, which had at first seemed purple, were not. They were a deep orange, mixed with glints of blue and red. The eyes were an eerie electric blue. They looked at Hiccup very coldly indeed.

"Uh, h-hey there, dragon," Hiccup stuttered, "I'm not trying to hurt you." He stepped closer and held out a handful of grass. From past experience, he knew that dragons from Berk loved the grass. But by the way the dragon glared at the grass blades, it was apparent this dragon was different.

'What could you possibly want, boy?'

Hiccup started. "What? Did you just... Talk?"

'Not talk. I am simply thing, in your mind, stupid human.'

"I-I-I don't think you're from Berk." Hiccup whispered. He glanced up at Merida, who, from her perch on the tree, stared at him in confusion.

"Who're you talkin' to?" She asked, her blue eyes puzzled.

"Can't you-"

'Don't even try it, human. You're the only one who can hear us. You have a gift. An exceptionally stupid one.'

Hiccup stared at the dragon, and its blue eyes. Although its words weren't mean, its tone was evil, and so was the look it was giving him. "Where are you from?"

'Not your puny little island, or that tiny cave you call a dragons' nest.' The dragon stretched its neck proudly. 'We are Scottish dragons.'

"A Scottish dragon? How long have you been around?"Hiccup was no expert, but he knew enough of the Scot's history to know that there were no dragons.

'Hundreds of years. We have been hiding, in caves, in hollows underground. We are going to conquer this country, which is rightfull ours, and we will destroy anyone who tries to stop us. But fall these years, we've been waiting to make our moved. Waiting oh so long.'

"For what?" Hiccup asked, puzzled.

'You.'

The dragon grinned at him evilly.

'You are the only one who is a threat to us. And now we can kill you. But not yet, no, we will wait until He says.'

The dragon snapped its head around and plucked the arrows out of its wings with its mouth, and looked once more at Hiccup.

'You are a stupid human, Hiccup. We will not be stopped.'

It, no, he flew away, his wings beating so hard that the wind almost bowled Hiccup over.
it took Hiccup a moment to realize that it had said 'we' and 'us'.

"There... There're more." He whispered. He glanced at Toothless. "They're going to kill the Scots, anyone. But first, me. When... When He says. Who's He?"

Merida dropped to the ground and clamped her hands on Hiccup's shoulders. She stared into his eyes, searching them for something.

"What were you jabberin' about?" She demanded. "How were you talking to that... That thing?"

Hiccup stared at her, her blue eyes, her fiery hair. "I don't know, Merida. I have no idea. It, no he was just thinking to me. In my mind. He said I'm the only one that can do it."

Merida sighed in relief. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Really," Hiccup laughed. "I seriously doubt that."

"I'm serious!" Merida said indignantly. "I was... Worried. And I have a question for you."

Hiccup looked at her for a moment. "What?"

She suddenly turned shy, a faint blush tinting her cheeks. "You called me beautiful before."

Hiccup laughed and jumped on Toothless, offering her his hand. "And?"

She took his hand this time and jumped behind him. "Well, what did you mean by that?"

"I meant what I said." Hiccup said casually. "You're beautiful."

Toothless roared, and they flew straight up, whipping any words from Merida's mouth. But she was speechless, and instead held onto Hiccup tighter and tried to hide blushing face.

"You mean to tell me," Elinor said, trying to slow her breathing, "that there is a... A family of dragons planning on taking over this country and killing everyone in it."

Hiccup gulped. "Yes."

"And they just started to show themselves because you came."

"Yes."

"Because you have a gift that allows you to communicate with them telepathically."

"Well," Hiccup said, "I can't think to them, but they can think to me."

"And to only you."

"Yes."

Merida watched the exchange nervously. Her mother wasn't very happy. They had only discovered the dragon and his intentions yesterday, but it was already taking its toll on her mother. She was pale and trembling.

Elinor took a deep breath. "How do we kill it?"

Hiccup shrugged. "Well, I hate to kill them, but I guess these ones have to be. And I have no idea. To me, this is a new breed of dragon. I need to find their kill spot, before they find mine. It'll be hard because they're, well, able to turn invisible. But," He looked out the window at Toothless. "I have Toothless."

Fergus finally spoke up. "Hiccup, just tell us this. Do you believe you can kill it?"

Hiccup squared his shoulders. "Yes."

Fergus nodded. "I hope so. I don't want to have to evacuate the country, after all. It would take too long, anyways."

Merida stood up hurriedly. "That's it! Start evacuating. It will take weeks, I know, but we should try to get the weakest out. We'll need volunteers to help us fight, though. And none of our people have experience with dragons."

Hiccup sighed shakily. "I think I can help with that."

Elinor looked at him. "What?"

"I know just the people." Hiccup said. "And they have helped me kill the biggest dragon of them all."

Hopefully there are no half finished sentences in this one...

So what do you think? Are Hiccup's friends coming to Scotland?

Is Astrid?

Leave a review, let me know what you think, any input, any ideas. I'm open to everything :)
