"Stupid boys, stupid Astrid, stupid life!" Ruffnut growled under her breath as she stalked through the forest, eyes focused on the floor below her to look for things to viciously kick.
"Oh look at me, I'm Astrid" Ruffnut said in a fake, high-pitched voice, fluttering her eyelashes, "and I'm not just perfect at everything, but I get all the boys but I still have a really bad temper like the whole world is against me and nothing goes right for me!"
Ruffnut sighed, before sitting down on a log, "could this day get any worst?"
And yes, yes it could.
Before she knew what was happening, Ruffnut was snatched by a massive force from the sky and flying away.
Ruffnut screamed at the top of her voice, as the ground below her changed from dense wood to the sea as the unknown dragon flew away from Berk. "PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW YOU STUPID, BUTT-HEADED..."
Ruffnut continued to shout insults to her capturer until they swooped down towards a tiny island, and then the dragon promptly dropped her infront of a cave.
"Hey hey!" Ruffnut yelped, scrabbling backwards, as the dragon stared at her, "trust me you don't want to eat me! I taste disgusting! You can ask my brother if you don't believe me!"
The massive dragon continued to leer at her. Ruffnut realised that the dragon was a Grapple-grounder. The body of the dragon was snake-like, but with muscular legs and large wings, and had two twisted horns on the top of the head. It was dark grey in colour, with scarlet eyes and red stripes across the body.
Ruffnut gulped when she saw the large teeth in his mouth.
"Hey! What have you got for dinner Ash?" A feminine voice called out of the cave, and a young girl walked out of the cave.
She was lean and curvaceous, with long, brown hair that was left loose and tied back with a leather band. She had cat-like, amber eyes and angular features and was wearing simple clothes; a grey top with a leather belt that carried a dagger, with dark brown jeans and black boots, and long, leather armbands that covered most of her lower arm.
She stalked out of the cave, before noticing Ruffnut. She froze, staring.
"Who are you?"
"Ruffnut"
"What are you doing here?"
"I was taken here by your stupid dragon!" Ruffnut said, and the girl sighed, face-palming. "Oh Thor, I'm so sorry" She turned to the Grapple-grounder, "I said bring back food! Not the first living thing you see!"
The girl walked over to Ruffnut and held out a hand to help her up, which Ruffnut accepted warily. "I'm Tempest" She grinned crookedly, "and forgive me for Ash's mistake" Tempest paused to glance crossly at her dragon.
"Er, yeah. O-ok" Ruffnut muttered, unsure what to do. She didn't know this girl, and she was stuck with her and her dragon on a island miles from home where no-one knew where she was. Dear Thor, is this a crappy day or what.
There was a slight pause as the teenage girls stared at each other, unsure of what to say next.
"Want some food?"
"What?" Ruffnut blurted out. "Your dragon kidnapped me and now you're asking if I want food?"
Tempest arched a eyebrow, before shrugging. "So you want the food or not?"
"...Yes...But I'll still complain about your stupid dragon whilst eating!"
"Go ahead, I've had such a crappy social life I'll listen to anyone even if they complain,"
