This is the first chapter. The story will begin as soon as I stop typing this author's note. And it is set in the same day as the prologue, but later in that day.
If enough people enjoy this then I will continue the story. I know you enjoy it if you leave a review, favorite, or follow.
I guess I need to warm you that Jay has some bad language. But she just died can you really blame her?
I hope you enjoy, read on.
Jay pov.
I woke up in a forest.
There are several things wrong with this statement. The main being the fact that I woke up. I had the vague recollection of dying. I think it was then that the reality sunk in. It sunk in nothing more than a rather loud burst of surprise, "Holy shit! I died!"
I didn't curse much, but I think that dying was a reason to let something like that slip. I mean seriously, I fucken died! What the hell?
The other thing wrong with that statement was the fact that I was in a forest. A forest. Shouldn't I be in a hospital? Or someplace with my awesome pets licking my face. Yes, my dog would definitely be licking my face off right now if she was anywhere near me… But she wasn't.
Then why did I feel like something was watching me?
My eyes jolted open. Huge bright eyes were less than an inch away from my face. The pupils were an endless black, a deep red surrounded them. The red stretched outwards where it raggedly changed to a bright orange. The orange faded into a pale yellow at the edges of its eyes. The eyes were truly beautiful. The eyes were surrounded by black scales, A pitch black that was truly the color of the darkest night.
The creature suddenly growled, warm spit landed on my face. Yet years of my experience with animals taught me not to flinch. I could suddenly feel the fact that it was standing on top of me. And It was heavy.
The creature jumped off of me and I caught a glance at what it really looked like. The creature was truly huge, a little larger than a horse. Its head was broad, its huge mouth filled with razor sharp teeth. It had large paws with sharp curved claws that almost looked like talons. It had wings, huge featherless wings. It had a long slender tail with tail fins on the end. I could see the strong muscles in its shoulders, chest, and thighs. It was a powerful creature, dangerous and wild.
It looked exactly like a Night Fury.
But it couldn't be a Night Fury. That was impossible. I must be hallucinating. I had just watched How to Train Your Dragons 1 and 2 last night. And it was nothing but a movie. An awesome movie but still a movie, No truth to it at all.
The Night Fury sat on its haunches. Tilting its head as it watched me with a curious glance. I politely asked the dragon a question, "Are you a hallucination?"
The Night Fury just blinked in response.
I made a move to stand. But the Night Fury suddenly stiffed, tensing up. I instantly fell onto my knees. I lowered my head in submission, my gaze meeting the ground. The dragon understood, and it relaxed slightly. It was an intelligent creature, and it was hopefully as great a judge of character as any other animal.
I gazed at the vivid green grass for a moment, before slowly raising my gaze. It was watching me with a fierce glance in its eyes, every muscle it held tense and ready to fight at any moment.
I decided to name it.
I'm not really sure why, I just had the in despicable urge to name it. I soaked in every detail of its personality and looks. I didn't know much about the creature, but I did know that it had a kind heart, but a strength that rivaled any other creature. The creature was a girl, a mistrustful girl.
"Nice to meet you, Amber."
The female name Amber meant 'Fierce' and it also described a sunset russet color. It was perfect for this Night Fury. Amber tilted her head, her mouth opened again, but this time the teeth were gone. It was almost as if Amber was saying she approved her name.
I realized I felt an odd connection to this dragon. As if she was meant to be mine. My best friend, My protector, My Dragon. It was quite odd, the only connection I had ever felt like this was when I was with my dog and my cat, my trustworthy friends. I watched Amber for a moment, watching a slow crooked grin form on her face.
I smiled at Amber. Amber then suddenly tensed, her eyes glancing at something behind me. I saw nothing, but when I looked back at where Amber had been before I saw she had disappeared. Then I was suddenly knocked over. I landed on the ground hard, all the breath whooshing out of my chest.
Another Night Fury was on top of me, this one with bright green eyes. The black of its eyes were narrowed into Slits. Its razor sharp teeth were inches from my throat. It roared, a sound that sent my heart thudding quickly in my chest. It was crushing me, and I couldn't breathe. I gasped helplessly, trying to wiggle out from underneath the creature. I felt claws sink into the flesh of my arm. I flinched violently, my whole body jolting backwards. My arm tore open as the claws stayed in my flesh when I removed my arm. The blacks of the Night Fury's eyes kept constricting and contracting, as if the Night Fury was fighting for control.
I saw a flash of black out of the corner of my eye. The black flash ended up being Amber, who rammed into the other Night Fury. The other Night Fury started in surprise and Amber roared. A full throated roar that seemed to shake the very earth. The other Night Fury stumbled away from Amber. The other Night Fury shook its head wildly and the slits of his eyes became wider and more round.
Amber had taken a protective stance around me. Growling at the other Night Fury, while standing In front of me. Letting me catch my breath and protecting me from harm. I didn't know why, but for some reason I felt safe. I had just met Amber and yet I still felt safe around her.
"Toothless! Toothless, Bud, where are you?"
Toothless opened its mouth slowly, its eyes remaining locked with Amber's. It released a loud roar, but one obviously meant for Toothless's owner to hear not as a challenge to Amber. Amber narrowed her eyes at the only slightly larger dragon, But she didn't move.
Hiccup burst through the forest, his voice breathless. He begins to speak, relief in his voice, "There you are Toothless, I believe we are far enough away from that Alpha now."
For a moment I just stared blankly at Hiccup. His messy dark brown hair fell slightly into his sharp green eyes. He was wearing the armor from the second movie, but his armor was smeared with mud. He then noticed Amber. Amber had backtracked till she was closer to me. But her teeth, or should I say fangs, were still out. A low dangerous growl split through the suddenly silent air.
I was staring at the blood on my arm, as it raced across my pale skin in thick scarlet rivulets. "Yup, this is definitely reality." I muttered quietly as I bit my lip in pain.
"Another Night Fury?" Hiccup muttered. I glanced at him with a detached glance. He couldn't see me because Amber was blocking me from view. I put my arms beside me, attempting to stand. I glanced at my arm while I did. It was gushing blood, the flesh ragged and torn. It didn't look that bad.
I couldn't stop the whimper that exploded from my throat.
I saw Toothless drop his head in guilt. Amber released one more warning growl, Before she turned to me. Her eyes were wide with concern. I didn't know quite why she looked so concerned, I didn't even really know her. But the concern in her eyes was raw and true.
She crawled closer to me, A moment later her tongue carefully licked my wound. It was obviously a gentle movement, she was just trying to clean the wound and keep it from getting infected. She was a creature of intelligence, she understood that the mud that had somehow gotten smeared in the wound was dangerous. She had just finished cleaning it, though I'm not really sure how sanitary her slobber was, When I heard the sound of leaves crackling as If someone had stepped on dry leaves.
I saw Amber narrow her eyes at the noise. She straightened up, her large tail twitching from where it lay at my side. Amber turned around, her face radiating anger. I carefully stood, clenching my jaw so that I didn't whimper when my arm moved. I just about fell when the world spun, but Amber was there. Amber stretched out her neck and head, catching me when I just about fell over. A few strands of my wavy black hair fell into my eyes, but I quickly brushed it out of sight. Sometimes I hated my hair, it was always falling into my face.
I straightened up, catching Hiccup's bewildered look. He carefully backed away from Amber and I. He had appeared beside Toothless, he unstrapped a small bag that was attached to Toothless's saddle.
Hiccup slowly approached Amber and I again. He had the bag clutched tightly in his hands. I placed a hand on Amber's muzzle, hoping to calm her. I whispered to her quietly, "Shh, Amber. He's just trying to help. He's not gonna hurt us."
Amber sat on her haunches, she kept from growling but her every muscle was tense. She was ready to leap into action. Hiccup spoke to me, "Hello, I'm Hiccup. I have medical supplies for your arm."
He slowly opened the bag, showing small bottles of liquid and white bandages. I glanced at Amber. She was still tense, but the anger had evaporated from her eyes. She was instead looking at him with a slightly curious gaze. I slowly crept forward.
The world was spinning. I could feel the warm thick liquid of blood as it gushed all over me. The world blurred, the colors merging until I could barely tell what blur was Hiccup and which one was Amber. I felt a little bad for being this bad over a little tiny cut. It was just a small flesh wound, okay maybe it was three large ragged cuts, But still nothing to be worried about. The world suddenly tilted- and then faded to black.
My last thought was that today just wasn't my day.
Poor Jay, she just keeps getting hurt. Today really isn't her day. But anyways, don't forget to Review, Favorite, or Follow, if you enjoyed. I might see you in another update.
