Hey guys! Back with another chapter! So, I think i'll have the sneak peek for "How to Train Your Pegasus" out today, if not tomorrow. That's all I got! Except for this review:
MMM: I think he will. I'll definetly do that.
I woke up and thank goodness it was morning! Astrid and Heather were already up, and once I was up, they crowded me.
"So, what is it!?" Astrid asked.
"It's the crushed scale of an Inferno Dragon, mixed with it's saliva." I said.
"Ew. I am sorry for you, Astrid." Heather put her hand on Astrid's back.
"At least I'll be cured. But, I've never heard of and Inferno Dragon." Astrid said.
"Me neither." Heather added.
"No one has. It guards the Flower of the Sun. It's supposed to replace Vesta as the protector." I explained.
"So, who gonna get the saliva and scale?" Heather asked.
"Me." I simply answered.
"But, how are you gonna survive the flames?" Astrid exclaimed.
"I don't know. Maybe I'm fire proof, thanks to my immortality." I explained. "And I'm the only one who can get close enough to get the scale and saliva."
"I guess you're right. But if you get burned alive, I'm not the one who tells Hiccup." Heather said.
"I could barely get Vesta to listen me, so please don't remind me." I said. "Oh yeah, she said you guys saved her life one time. What did you do?" I asked.
"Um… let's just say she was one inch away from getting an ax to her throat." Astrid said.
"Oh Thor. Who was going to do it?" I asked.
"A guy named Riccar." Heather answered.
"Riccar!? I swear I'll beat him to a pulp next time I see him. Or Viggo!" I growled.
"Wait, you know the dragon hunters?" Astrid exclaimed.
'I've had my share of run-ins with that eel. Especially that deranged Berserker Dagger." I said.
"So you've met Dagger too." Heather said.
"Yeah. I keep having to release dragons that are on his ships. I always win of course." I explained.
"I bet. Dagger still underestimates us." Astrid said. "Although he hasn't attacked for a while. That's not like him."
"He probably knows I'm here and doesn't want anything to do with me right now." Heather said.
"Why?" I asked.
"We were friends before I found out Hiccup was my brother." She simply stated.
"Really? How'd that turn out." I asked.
"Well, he kept trying to get Windshear, but I never let him. Other than that, he was almost like a brother to me." she answered.
"I was… not expecting that. But whatever. Come on, let's tell Hiccup." I got up, and ran out the door.
"So, let me get this straight. The cure is a scale of a dragon that lives on Fire Isles, crushed with its saliva, and Fire Isles just happens to be a flame covered island, and you're the only one who can get the cure?!" Snotlout yelled.
"Pretty much." I answered.
"Well that's just great. Sooo great." He said.
Sarcasm so included.
"Well, on the bright side, if the flames don't kill you, the dragon will." Tuffnut said.
"Let's all thank Tuffnut for that inspiring speech of death." I said.
"You're welcome." He said.
"I was being sarcastic."
"Oh. Sorry." He said.
"But, how are you going to survive the flames?" Fishlegs asked.
"I don't know. I'm pretty much counting on immortality to take care of that part. But the question is, how am I going to get the scale and saliva?" I said.
"I don't know, but you're not doing it alone." Hiccup said.
"Hiccup, if you're thinking of coming with me, no."
"I just need to make some fire proof armour. Then I can go with you." He said.
"Hiccup, no. You're not coming with me, end of story." I said.
"But-"
"No buts. Now I gotta get going. That cure isn't going to get here by itself." I headed out the door, mounted Shadow, and took off.
I knew how to get there since I've been there a few times. I looked back to make sure I wasn't being followed. Thank goodness I wasn't being followed.
So how are you planning to get the cure? Shadow asked.
"I guess I could just ask." I said.
So you're just gonna ask for it's scale and saliva. You're so gonna live. He said.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Shadow."
Just trying to be funny. He said.
As we neared the island, I saw ships. "Ugh, Shadow, you don't think that's-"
Dagger? Looks like it. But how does he known that we're here?
"Maybe he doesn't. Let's just get in and get out with the cure." I said.
Before we could even get close to the shore, Dagger yelled, "FIRE!"
We dodged a volley of nets.
"Okay, maybe it would be nice to have some backup."
"You mean like this?!"
I turned and sighed with relief. It was Hiccup, and Astrid.
"Thank the gods you're here!" I yelled.
"We figured Dagger would be here, so we secretly tagged along. Just in case." Astrid explained.
"Well, tha-nets!" I warned as a second wave of nets came at us.
We all dodged, but one hit Shadow's wing.
"Alaina!" HIccup yelled.
We hit a boat, and I groaned.
"Well, well. Alaina! Long time no see."
I looked up, and sure enough Dagger was standing over me with his ax at my throat.
"What do you want with me?" I growled.
"Simple. I want you dead. Honestly, you're worse than Hiccup!" He said.
"Dagger! Let her go!" Hiccup yelled.
"Sorry brother, can't do that. It would ruin my plans. But I promise you this: She will not leave unscathed."
Suddenly Toothless fired a plasma blast, and Dagger let go of his ax and fell.
I raced over to Shadow, and mounted him. But before we could take off, I felt something hit the side of my stomach, and my left side erupted in pain.
"ALAINA!" Hiccup yelled.
I hit the ground, clutching my side.
"I told you, brother. She wouldn't leave unscathed." Dagger said.
Hiccup and Toothless landed beside me.
"It's okay, Alaina. You're gonna be okay."
I could barely hear him through the pain of the dagger in my side, and Stormfly covering us.
OH NO! ALAIN'S GONNA DIE! Find out if she lives or not in the next chapter. Seeya!(Wouldn't wanna be you guys right now) Hope you enjoyed and please review!
