Dragons: New Allies

Chapter 8

Hey, guys! I'm back! It's been hard finding a new place to write my stories, and I don't have as much time to post them as I usually do, but I'm doing the best I can! Here's Chapter 8! Enjoy!

Votch laughed long and hard at Ivy's expression.

"This sorry, pathetic excuse of a wench is my niece?!" he said incredulously.

"Don't you talk about her that way!" said Dagur, struggling.

"Quiet, boy", said Votch, "the adults are talking."

"We're all adults here, you idiot", Snotlout mumbled.

Votch growled and turned towards him.

"Forget I said anything", Snotlout squeaked.

"Right", said Votch. "I'll be taking those Night Furies and their riders now, brother."

Ivy gasped.

"No", said Slygroff.

"What?" Votch growled.

"You can take the dragons", said Slygroff, "but you'll not have my daughter or this boy."

Votch only laughed.

"Then I guess I'll have to take them by force!"

Slygroff lunged forward, knocking Votch to the ground. Ivy, seizing the opportunity, broke free of the men holding her and grabbed an axe, releasing the dragons from their cages and Hiccup and the riders from their chains.

"You guys, get out of here!" she said to the riders. "I'm gonna help my village."

But before she could mount Shadow, a net was thrown over him.

"Shadow!" Ivy called.

She tried to run over to him, but was blocked by Slygroff and Votch, who were still fighting.

"Ivy, watch out!" Hiccup called.

Ivy gasped as he pushed her out of the way of another net, which closed over him.

"No!" Astrid cried.

"Astrid, go!" said Hiccup. "I'll be okay. Take the others and get out of here!"

Astrid nodded and took Ivy's hand. The two of them ran towards the shore.

"Wait!" said Ivy, staying back. "What about Toothless?"

Without Hiccup to ride him, the poor dragon was grounded. Without a moment's hesitation, Ivy ran up to him and touched his snout. The dragon growled, until it looked into her calm, dark green eyes.

"It's okay", said Ivy. "I'm not gonna hurt you."

Toothless nodded, and Ivy climbed onto his back, locking her left foot into Hiccup's brace.

"Okay, I'm not really sure how Hiccup controls you", said Ivy, "but maybe I'll learn in the heat of the moment."

In answer, Toothless took off and joined the other riders in the sky. Ivy gasped as she saw Hiccup, her father and Shadow being shoved onto one of the ships.

"We have to save them!" she called to Astrid, who shook her head.

"Hiccup is extremely stubborn", she said. "He knew what he was doing."

"I'm sure he did", said Ivy, "but that's my dragon AND my dad down there, and I'm not leaving either one of them!"

"I'm with her", said Dagur. "We're coming, brother Hiccup!"

Astrid sighed.

"Alright", she said. "Let's go save our leader."

That's all I've got for now, guys. Sorry, but I only get one hour to write on library computers. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you again soon!
