Well here is the third chapter of Vera's story. Please read and enjoy.

We tired to sneak in to the house as quite as we could. Stoick was sitting in front of us as we walked in, but didn't realized we had came in yet. We ran towards the stairs and started to crawl up them on our hands and feet, trying to be quite. Stoick left his head.

"Hiccup. Vera." We stopped dead. Damn it.

"Dad! Uh... we have to talk to you, Dad." Hiccup took over the talking. I really let Hiccup talk to his father, seeing how it is his father.

"I need to speak with you two as well, son." What did I do?

"We've decided we don't want / I think it's time you two learn / to fight dragons. What?" Damn they are good.

"You go first." Hey, at less he is trying.

"No, no, you go first."

"Alright. You get your wish. Dragon Training. You start in the morning. You will be joining too, Vera." Really? After we find the Night Fury and find out that we can't really kill dragons? Hiccup started panicking.

"Oh, man, I should've gone first! Uh, 'cause Vera and I was thinking, you know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough... bread-making Vikings, or small home repair Vikings-?" Stoick shoved an Axe in Hiccup's hands and a smaller sword in mine.

"You'll need this." I wanted to handed it back to him.

"We don't want to fight dragons." I said in an almost pleading voice.

"Come on. Yes, you do." Stoick waved his hand and laughed. Why is he laughing? This isn't funny!

"Rephrase: Dad, we can't kill dragons." Thank you, Hiccup. I hope that worked.

"But you will kill dragons." That's what Stoick came back with. I wanted to beat my head in a wall.

"No, I'm really very extra sure that we won't." I tried this time to get him to see. I tried to hand back the sword and he pushed it closer to me.

"It's time, Hiccup, Vera." I can see there is no way we are getting out of this.

"Can you not hear us?!" Hiccup was getting really upset.

"This is serious, son! When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us. You talk like us. You think like us. No more of... This." Stoick gestured to all of Hiccup. Just like Gobber. What is so wrong with Hiccup?!

"You just gestured to all of me." Hiccup said, hurt and annoyed.

"Deal?" Really?

"This conversation is feeling very one-sided." It really was.

"DEAL?!" Stoick raised his voice this time when he asked.

"Deal." Hiccup replied in a quite voice.

"Vera?" I looked up at Stoick.

"Deal." I said in the same quite voice Hiccup had.

"Good. Train hard. I'll be back. Probably." Stoick had grabbed his bag and walked out of the house.

"And we'll be here. Maybe." Hiccup sighed. Then looked at me. "I'm sorry, Vera. I really tired." I set the sword down and grabbed his axe. We started towards our bed room.

"I know, Hiccup. We just got to make sure we don't die." Hiccup give me a look, saying not helping. "We should to go sleep. We got Dragon Training, tomorrow." Hiccup nodded his head and flopped on his bed. I giggled at him. "Night, Hiccup."

"Night, Vera." Hiccup groaned in his pillow. I laughed and then laid down to sleep.

Hiccup and I walked in the already opened fighting arena. The rest of the teens were here as well…big shock.

"I hope I get some serious burns!" Tuffnut said with a big smiled on his face. I looked at Hiccup. He was looking at Tuffnut like he was a dumbass.

"I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back." Ruffnut, tossed back to her brother.

"Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it." No, Astrid. It's not.

"Yeah, no kidding, right?" I said sarcastically, walking into the main circle.

"Pain. Love it." Hiccup replied in just the same amount of sarcasm.

"Oh, great. Who let him in?" Tuffnut looked at Hiccup. He saw me and got a goofy smile.

"Hey Vera!" Ruffnut pushed her brother to the ground and started to wave at me. Ruffnut and I were pretty good friends. She doesn't pick on Hiccup as much anymore.

"Let's get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village." Gobber looked over us. Gobber is the teacher of the Dragon Training.

"Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so, does that disqualify him or...?" Snotlout asked and everyone but Gobber, Hiccup, and I started laughing. Ruffnut looked like she didn't really want to at the same time she wanted to.

"Can I transfer to the class with the cool Vikings?" Tuffnut asked as they started to walk away.

"Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more Viking-like teens instead." I placed my right hand on Hiccup's shoulder.

"Don't listen to them. You will do fine." Hiccup looked at me and smiled. The teen and us all lined up in front of the doors.

"Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight! The Deadly Nadder!"

"Speed: eight; Armor: sixteen." Fishlegs who was next to Hiccup and I said.

"The Hideous Zippleback!"

"Plus eleven stealth times two." Thanks Fishlegs.

"The Monstrous Nightmare!"

"Firepower: fifteen." Can't he stop?

"The Terrible Terror!"

"Attack: eight; Venom: twelve!" I was about to growled at him when Gobber yelled.

"CAN YOU STOP THAT?! And... the Gronckle!" Gobber placed his hand on the leaver.

"Jaw strength: eight." Fishlegs whispered to Hiccup and I.

"Whoa, whoa, wait! Aren't you gonna teach us first?!" Snotlout asked. Wait, he wasn't going to teach us first?

"I believe in learning on the job." He pushed down, opening the door. We all scattered. "Today is about survival. If you get blasted... you're dead! Quick! What's the first thing you're going to need?"

"A doctor?!" Hiccup.

"Plus five speed?!" Fishlegs.

"You're last will and testament?" Gobber glared at me. I just shrugged my shoulders as I watched the Gronckle.

"A shield!" Astrid called out from some where in the ring.

"Shields! Go! Your most important piece of equipment is your shield! If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield!" Hiccup was having trouble with picking up the shield. Gobber pulled it up and slammed it into Hiccup's chest. Causing him to lose his breath.

"Get your hands off my shield!" Tuffnut and Ruffnut started fighting over a shield.

"There's like a million shields!" Ruffnut said as she pulled the shield closer to her.

"Take that one, it has a flower on it. Girls like flowers." Tuffnut pulled it back towards him. Ruffnut takes the shield and slams it onto Tuffnut's head.

"Oops, now this one has blood on it." Tuffnut grabbed the shield before she could pull away from him fully. The Gronckle flies towards the Twins and blasts their shield with a fireball, leaving them dazed on the ground.

"Tuffnut, Ruffnut, you're out!" Gobber called out to the twins. They looked up at Gobber dazed.

"What?"

"Those shields are good for another thing: noise! Make lots of it to throw off a dragon's aim!" The rest of us who aren't out begin hitting our weapons against our shields, making the Gronckle shake its head, confused. "All dragons have a limited number of shots. How many does a Gronckle have?"

"Five?" Snotlout asked. Fishlegs and I looked at each other. Was he kidding?

"No, six!" We both shouted out, correcting Snotlout.

"Correct, six! That's one for each of you but one!" After Gobber said that Fishlegs's shield gets blasted out of his hand.

"Fishlegs, out. Hiccup, get in there!" Gobber called out. I looked at Hiccup real quite. He was hiding behind (something) I heard Snotlout trying to talk to me.

"So, anyway I'm moving into my parents' basement. You should come by sometime to work out. You look like you work out!" I moved out of the way before the Gronckle could blast me.

"Snotlout! You're done!" I couldn't help but giggle when Snotlout started to throw a small fit. I ran to Hiccup's side. Astrid was with him too.

"So, I guess it's just you, Vera and I, huh?" He asked her. Agh I hate how he's all goggley eyes for her and she doesn't give a crap about him.

"Nope, just you." Astrid grabbed the back my shirt and pulled me with her.

"Hey!" I landed on my ass.

"One shot left!"

"Hiccup!" Gobber and I yelled as Hiccup was pinned to the wall by the Gronckle. It was about to shoot it last when Gobber ran over and placed his hook in the corner of the Gronckle's mouth.

"And that's six! Go back to bed, ya overgrown sausage!" He threw the Gronckle back in his cage and walked to Hiccup, who was uncurling himself from his ball. "You'll get another chance, don't you worry. Remember: a dragon will always - always - go for the kill." Hiccup looked up at me, breathing heavily. Everyone started clearing out, when Hiccup grabbed my hand and took off.

"Hiccup?" He didn't answer back just kept running. He looked confused.

When he finally stopped running, I realized that we were where we found the Night Fury.

"Remember what Gobber said?" I raised my eyebrow. "Dragons, they always go for the kill." Hiccup picked up the cut ropes from yesterday. "So, why didn't you?" I knelt next to him.

"I don't know. Maybe because you had let him go?" I looked at Hiccup. "You have to remember he pushed my away from you two. He wasn't going to attack me at all." He looked up at me wide eye then looked forward again. "Let's go." We started walking.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"To the cove." I just nodded my head and continued to walk. "Well, this was stupid." Hiccup got us lose. How I don't know but he did. I think he's too much lost in thought. Hiccup looked down and then picked something up. I looked over his shoulder. He was holding a black oval thing. It was a scale…a dragon scale.

"Do you think?" I asked Hiccup, looking to see if it was around.

"Yeah I do. Look there's a trail." He pointed to the trail of scales.

"isn't the cove just right over there?" I pointed to where the trail was going.

"…yeah…" Hiccup sighed. Hiccup started walking again. "I can't believe this." He growled to himself. I frowned at him. I hate when they get him down this bad. We started to climb up the rocks that where in our way to the cove, when a big black thing came flying up in front of us. Hiccup fell backwards and landed on me.

"Agh…Hiccup…get off of me." I pushed him off and crawled up the rock as fast as I could. It was the Night Fury. He was stuck in the Cove. "Hiccup!" I whispered. He showed up at my side. He pulled out his book again and started to draw it. We sat there was watching the Night Fury trying to fly away. Hiccup looked up at the dragon, placed his pencil down, and asked the 4 sheep question.

"Why don't you just... fly away?" Hiccup leaned closer causing him to knock his pencil off the small ledge. The Night Fury looked up at us and growled.

"Hiccup…we should go." I start pulling him away. Hiccup grabbed his book and started to walk away from the dragon.
