thought '...'

speaking "..."

Halla's point of view:

It wasn't long after my scream that I heard banging coming from the downstairs.

That's when I heard Gobber's voice the banging on the door increasing. "HALLA…are you alright…HALLA open this door this instance."

'Uh why is Gobber here' I thought, uncurling myself from the beetle position, climbing out of bed and going down stairs hurrying when the banging didn't seem to be stopping any time soon. I finally reached the door and peeked my head out. If I knew Gobber he would be looking for any signs of trouble and I didn't want him to worry about me. 'I don't want Gobber to worry about some silly little dream, not when I have other things to worry about.' I thought.

"Gobber what are you doing here" I asked, trying to keep my voice even, but failing. "I heard a scream are you alright?" Gobber's voice sounded worry and I could feel the guilt turning my stomach. "Uhh yah I just uh…had a nightmare is all." I didn't want Gobber remembering my episodes when I was a kid, but I knew from that far away look on his face that he was. "Is that why you weren't at dragon training." There was a pause. 'Dragon training' I thought before shouting "WHAT oh I totally forgot about dragon training oh my god it's already that late." I knew I was ranting and I watched as Gobber rolled his eyes. "Halla did you just wake up" I nodded still not believing that I had slept that late that I had missed dragon training. 'Oh my god the teens are going to kill me. Those dreams were just so vivid and…wait a minute my dream…my aunt…Stoic's hidden secret.' It wasn't long until my anger came back.

"That reminds me…what the hell help happened to my aunt…aunt Helga?" My voice becoming defensive as I opened the door a little bit more. "Wait a minute what are you wearing." What does he mean what am I wearing, looking down I noticed that I was still wearing aunties gifts and suddenly with someone actually seeing me in my new clothes I felt insecure. "How do you know about Helga?" That's when there was another awkward pause as I pulled on my shirt.

These clothes weren't made here in Berk it doesn't take a genius to figure that out whether its from there design or material. "You went into your fathers room didn't you?" Gobber's voice was rising and I could feel my anger rising to. "So what if I did?" I shouted, finally stepping out of the house. "Explain to me why I found presents addressed to me from years ago. " I watched as Gobber seemed to winced as she questioned him about Helga 'what happened to Helga that could be that bad' "Halla, Helga is not the best person for you to see. Trust me she's-" "What my aunt that loves me?" I snapped, my finger curling into a fist. "Helga got disowned and isn't a good influence for you" "Why because she wasn't a Viking?" I shouted, I didn't care that this was Gobber that he cared for me more than any one, I was tired of people keeping secrets from me. I was tired of people trying to figure out how my life should be, and leaving me out of any decision making. "Look I am not discussing this with you, now go change and give me everything you found in your father's room and I wont tell him about this." "NO" I shouted, slamming the door in his face. "Halla open this door right now, Halla." "GO away" I shouted "and I am not giving you anything I have found…I'll be at dragon training tomorrow, but just leave me alone Gobber." I was leaning against the wall and for some reason I felt like crying. "HALLA" "I SAID GO AWAY" 'I was tired of people trying to run my life for me, tired of them thinking that I can't do anything right. I just wanted to be myself and run my life my way…why was that so hard' I felt myself sliding down the door until my butt hit the ground. There was a pause and I waited for Gobber to try and break down my door and take everything by force. Waiting for him to march upstairs and take my presents and than tell Stoic just what I have done. Than both of my supposed protectors will be angry with me. "Meet me in forge around dinner time I'll give you your answers there." I looked up and at the door giving out a shaky laugh. 'I can't seem to trust anyone now. I'm losing it, Gobber has been with me through everything and now I'm thinking of him as a bad guy. Just what the hell is wrong with me? Gobber would never betray me, he isn't Stoic.' That's when I remember my mother's words 'He loves Halla…He is a father first and a Viking second.' 'Mom had faith in him, but he has changed so much. I don't know if he even knows how to be anything other than a Viking. Does he even love me or does he just care about me out of obligation' I raised my hands to my head shaking away these thought. "I need air," I mumbled standing up and running out of the house slamming the door behind me.

I ran through the forest at top speed, jumping over fallen log and racing in and out of trees. I knew where I was going; I knew where I need to go. I was doubting the only person that I could truly trust, it wasn't right and I needed to clear my head. I kept running, but it wasn't until after a while I felt like I was being followed. However I pushed it aside 'who would be out here? Nobody, but hunters enter the forest and even they don't go this deep.' I thought, turning. It wasn't long until I reached the rock wall I had recently discovered.

I wasted no time climbing the wall. Getting higher and higher wanted nothing more than to reach the top. To feel my arms burn from the climb, to feel the air around me get denser as I get higher. The feel of the rocks underneath my gloved hand 'Glove, damn I forgot to take them off' I thought, hoping that it doesn't slow me down to bad. I didn't dwell on the thought though. I need to get my frustration out; I need to climb. I felt one of my hands slipping and soon found myself dangling, so I reposition my feet to hold me steady as I paused looking for another rock. It was to high for me, but I knew I could reach it if I jump. I took a deep breath and stretched my arm and jumped for it clinging to it with my fingers. I was dangling again and I felt free, however I knew I would be slipping soon so I reposition my feet. My feet were on a small ledge, but it looked like it would hold me. I reached for another rock that was more to the left than I could reach so I moved over a bit reaching for another rock. That was until the rock crumbled underneath my hand and my footing was lost.

For a while I felt myself falling. It was liberating, just falling. For a moment I had no worries, and nothing to fell angry about. It was nice, but I knew that if I didn't stop my free fall I would die and that's not acceptable, not when there was still things I need to figure out. So I turned my body straight and pushed my arm into a rock, feeling my gloved finger nails scrape against the tough textured rock wall while searching for a rock to grasp. Finally a good hold presented itself and I clawed it bring both arms around it, placing my feet on a better ledge. I breathed a sigh of relief a smile appearing on my face 'I did it' I thought, feeling like I could scream to the Heaven. That was until I heard "HALLA…get the hell down from there." I tensed 'no one was suppose to be out here…no one was suppose to see me climbing either especially falling.' I didn't want to look down, and when I did I quickly looked up. 'Of course it would be Ash. Of course I would fall off when the boy that thinks I'm useless and good for nothing is around.' I thought taking in another deep breath, as I felt my cheeks getting red from embarrassment. "Don't even think about climbing back up that damn wall." I sighed 'so much for getting rid of my frustration' I thought climbing down a few feet before jumping of the wall, landing on my feet.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I snapped, already thinking about all the things he would say. I was getting ready for anything he could say to me. "Me you're the one trying to kill yourself. " He snapped back 'and I was in such a good mood after that fall.' "I had everything under control," I shouted back, crossing my arms 'besides that fall won't have killed me.' "Really so that ten foot drop was on purpose." "I survived didn't I?" 'Besides why the hell are you so concerned you were the one that told me I didn't belong here, what does it matter if I'm alive or died' I wanted so badly to shout that in his face, but I couldn't for some stupid reason I couldn't get the words out of my tongue tied mouth. That's when he looked down at my hand. I palmed my hands and felt my glove on my right hand was ripped and bleeding. "Tell that to your hand" I raised my hand and they widened in shock 'I didn't think the rocks could cut me that bad' I thought "Its fine." I said, hiding my hand behind my back. He stood there for a minute looking me over before shaking his head. "Give me your hand." He snapped extending his out. "It's fine," I said, making a move to walk away. Only to have Ash stand in front of me 'why is he being this annoying, first he tells me I'm a nobody always in the way and than he's trying to help me. He needs to pick a personality and stick to it.' I thought, clenching my teeth.

"Hand now" He shouted. "I am so sick of people ordering me around' I thought narrowing my eyes. He cleared his throat extending his hand out again "I said hand." "Why do you care…just leave me alone." I tried to walk past him again, but he grabbed my hand. "Hey I said-" "Will you just shut up?" He snapped glaring at me. I glared back, but either way I let him see my hand. 'Can't people leave me alone when I want to be alone' I thought as Ash removed the ripped black glove only to see bandages covering my hands. "How do you manage to beat yourself up so much." He was shaking his head again. "Haven't you noticed I'm a screw up," I snapped 'I don't need a reminder besides I wad more than happy to get cut a little bit if it meant the Night Fury would feel better.' He uncovered the bandages to see small cuts on my hands. "What did you do?" he said, looking over my hands. "Nothing I just got stuck in a thorn bush." 'It's a good thing that Gobber is the only person that can tell I'm lying' the thought of Gobber suddenly made me nauseous 'I had to right to think of Gobber that way, he might as well be my uncle or hell my dad. Maybe I should tell Gobber about the Night Fury. I mean I trust Gobber more than anyone, but…' "it needs to be clean, but the wounds not that deep." Ash voices cuts through my thoughts. "Great can I have my hand back?" I snapped tugging my hand back "No this time I'm making sure you get home safely." I gnawed on my lip feeling my frustration starting to calm 'Besides I have to go feed the dragon before visiting Gobber's' so I nodded. I was shocked and a little nervous when Ash grabbed my uninjured hand 'What the hell is he doing' I thought, trying to tug my hand back, only to have him grip harder and than relax as if he was trying to calm me down. His little hand action did anything, but calm me down. It made me embarrassed, angry, and confused. I was embarrassed because thee Ash was holding my hand caring enough to walk me home and calm me down, I was angry because that same boy was treating me like a child, and finally I was confused because why should he care what happens to me. All I knew was that while he started walking off and I stumbled to keep up, all I could hear was my heartbeat. 'Please don't let him hear it.'

We walked through the forest at a slower pace this time instead of begin behind him I was standing next to him, and I was actually feeling a little better. However the silence was to awkward for me to hadle. "So why were you following me?" I asked watching as he seemed to freeze at my question his grip tightening a bit around my hand and his axe. Which only made me blush lightly because I had forgotten that we were holding hands. "I don't know what you mean" "Right so you weren't running behind me fighting to keep up." I didn't really know it was him, but based on his reaction it was a safe bet to assume. He turned around and said, "I just came by to train and than I saw you running and I followed to-" "to yell at me for canceling training." I mean what else could he be coming after me for. After all I knew the teens were going to kill me. He just kept quiet and asked "Why are you in the forest to being with." I paused for a second I mean it was none of his business, but he was being civil so I should be to, after all I thought he would be madder about what happened yesterday. "Uhh I had a fight I guess you could say with Gobber." There was an awkward pause. "You know Gobber is just looking out for you…he always is." I sighed "I know…I know he is just looking out for me, but its because of his and St-dad's looking out that I can't seem to do anything right." I was looking up at the sky, trying to figure out what could happen tonight at dinner when Gobber decided to tell me about aunt Helga. I heard Ash sigh so I looked at him, he seemed nervous about something. "I wanted to let you know that…I'm sorry for what happened yesterday I may have no I did cross a line and I wanted to let you know-" 'So the mighty Ash can handle a dragon, but not an apology' I thought, watching him squirm and listening to him rant. "Yah I'm sorry for what I said back there I was just angry…which seems to be happening a lot." I said shrugging it off like it was no big deal giving him a crooked smile. "Its fine lets just forget it ever happened." Ash said, before starting to walk again tugging on my hand.

By the time we reached my house it was already a little after noon. "I guess I should clean up my hand." I said, walking towards the door expecting him to let go of my hand. Instead he followed me rather than letting go. "Yah…right" He said finally letting go of my hand. "I guess I'll see you at dragon training tomorrow" he said already starting to back away. "Yah…and Ash." I said stopping him at the last step. "Hm" "Thanks" and I walked into my house.

I leaned against the door for a few minutes just looking at my hand and placing it over my heart. I couldn't figure out if what happened today was a good thing or a bad thing. All I knew was that I couldn't stop the smile from appearing on my face.
