thought '...'

speaking "..."

Halla point of view

'Uhhh the light' I thought, trying to turn over, but found that I couldn't. As I kept trying to move I heard a growl. As I started to wake up I realized that I had fallen asleep on Toothless…who deemed it necessary to pin me to him with his tail. 'It's morning' I thought, sitting up as much as I could with Toothless still pining me. Toothless growled again at my movements, but after scratching him behind his ear he seemed to calm down.

As I looked around the cove I noticed that both Toothless and the Nightmare were still sleeping. Toothless was curled around me, which wasn't odd, but what worried me was that his claws were extended.

'I guess I should just be glad that Toothless didn't actually hurt the Nightmare' I thought, trying to stand up, but it was no use Toothless was far too heavy to move.

'I guess I should be nice and let Toothless sleep, but I really want to try his prosthetic.' I thought squiring again. This time I got a short growl and a twitch.

"Toothless come on let me up," I whispered since the Nightmare was still sleeping. After a few more whispers and nudges Toothless finally woke up. He gave me a sleepy glare before huffing and lifting his tail.

I scurried to get up before Toothless changed his mind. He yawned before stretching. "Sorry Toothless, but I have something for you." He gave me another glare. "Relax this isn't anything dangerous" I said, 'or is it' I thought thinking about the dangers of the prosthetic. Toothless didn't seem convinced. However he did walk over to the basket of untouched fish and started to gobble it down.

By this time the Nightmare was awake its head lifted staring at us. As Toothless continued to eat his fish I walked over to the Nightmare.

"Now the question is what do we do with you?" I asked sitting in front of the Nightmare. It tilted its head looking at me curiously.

"Its just that you don't seem healthy enough to fly. I mean your wings aren't damaged, but your body took quiet a beating. Are you sure you have enough strength to fly." I explained the Nightmare looked towards the sky and than back at me. It gave a low roar.

As I heard a scuffling of noises I turned to see that Toothless had dragged the basket over to us stopping in front of the Nightmare and spilled half the context in front of the Nightmare. Toothless then came over to sit behind me on his back legs, allowing me to lean on him. I lifted my head up to him and smiled "That was nice of you to share" I said, petting the side of his face.

He cooed and the Nightmare gave a low chuckle. That's when Toothless stopped cooing and lifted his eyes to the Nightmare giving a small snarl.

I sighed, "Well I was going to ask if you wanted to stay here while you heal, but it looks like Toothless doesn't agree." Toothless looked down at me and I looked up. He touched my forehead with my nose. "Does that mean she can stay if she wants to" I asked, trying to ignore the stare from the Nightmare. Toothless nodded and I smiled turning towards the Nightmare.

"Although Toothless has allowed you to stay. I can't have you causing trouble and exposing him. You have to stay out of sight and be silent. That means no fighting from the both of you. No roars, no fires. Also no leaving the cove during the daytime I can't have any Vikings finding you or Toothless…especially Toothless." I said, my voice surprisingly firm. "Neither of you are to be caught, they won't hesitate to kill you and I'm not ready to loose either one of you understood." I refused to lose one of them just because they decided to get in a scuffle.

Both dragons looked at me for a moment before looking at themselves. I sighed and stood up standing between them. "Do you understand?" I asked crossing my arms as I glared at both dragons.

Toothless nodded giving me his I do nothing wrong stare. I looked at the Nightmare; she seemed to be analyzing me. She looked at me the same way I look at an invention sketch. It kind of made me wonder if she looked at me like a scrap of trash and was trying to find a way to make it useful. Eventually she to nodded.

"Great now that that's settled," I said, going back to sit in front of Toothless. "You're going to need a name to…is that okay." The Nightmare nodded and as she waits for her name she started to eat some fish.

After looking the Nightmare over and trying to remember as much of her attitude as possible to pick a suitable name. "Hmm how about Scarlet." I asked, watching as the Nightmare stopped chewing to look me over. After awhile she nodded her head.

"Look Toothless now you have a new friend to keep you company while I'm gone" Toothless seemed to make a humph noise.

I stood up and looked at the two dragons. "Alright I have to go now. Odin only knows how everyone is reacting to a dragon escaping. You two behave now alright." I said, as I went to pick up the discarded basket that had went flying in Toothless attack last night. I grabbed the basket and placed it next to the climbing wall. I then took off my torn cloak and placed it next to one of the fish basket and my smaller basket. I started climbing as I reached the exit I turned back towards the two "I'll bring back more food later." That said, I exited the cove and started to make my way back to the village.

The sun was just above the trees, so I didn't expect for any one to be in the forest at all let alone this early. But as I got closer to the exit of the forest I could hear voices and footsteps. I ducked behind a tree waiting as two Vikings passed me. 'Just what the hell are they doing in the forest.' I thought, watching as they walked past me weapons in hand.

'They can't be looking for the Scarlet can they.' I thought watching, as they seemed to head the opposite way of Toothless' cove. 'But why would they think that Scarlet was still hanging around. Did they see Scarlet and me?' I thought, panicking as I tried to head out of the forest with out being detected.

However the closer I got to the edge of the forest the more Vikings there seemed to be. 'Damn did they get the whole village to hunt Scarlet?' I thought, ducking behind another tree as another pair of Viking with weapons passed me. 'Thank Odin I'm skinny' I thought, trying to sneak the rest of the way.

Just as I saw the edge of the forest I felt someone grab my arm from the side and drag me behind a tree and pushing me to the floor a hand around my mouth and another around my waist. As I tried to struggle and make noises of protest the person that grabbed me said "Shh it's me. "

I stopped struggling I knew that voice. It was Gabriel. I didn't know whether to be relieved or distraught that it was him. 'Gabriel already knows that I sneak off what if he finds out why? What if he follows me next time? Just how much does he know.' I thought, trying not to panic. 'But at least it's Gabriel and not some other Viking.' I thought, waiting for him to let go of me.

When he took to long I bit his hand. "Oww what was that for?" he asked in a harsh whisper. "Me what are you doing" I asked in the same tone. "Trying to help you…you idiot." Just as I was about to reply we heard a group of footsteps coming closer.

"Do they really think a dragon is out here?" said a voice that I instantly knew was Ruffnut.

"Why wouldn't the Nightmare just fly off its stupid for it to hide here." Her brother added.

"Is it true that someone let it go" asked Fishlegs.

"Phht if any one did they are as good as dead when we get a hold of them" and that was definitely Snotlout.

"No one is stupid enough to let a Nightmare go, no matter how pathetic it was." That was definitely Ash's voice. I bit my lip and curled my hands into a fist 'Scarlet is not pathetic.' "Beside NO Viking would betray their village to save a dragon. If they did they are lower than scum and don't deserve to be part of this tribe." Ash's word stung, but he was right no real Viking would ever help a dragon. "However that's not likely the case the chains were burned, no matter how pathetic is was and close to dying its still a dragon and something to be feared." The group seemed to stand there for a moment.

"Fishlegs is probably right and it most likely did fly away to die somewhere else, but we fan out just to make sure." Ash said, finally. After another pause they all seemed to head in different directions.

After I couldn't hear their footsteps any more I let out a sigh of relief. "Well that was close wasn't it princess." That's when I remembered where exactly I was. I was behind a tree…in Gabriel's lap…with his arm around me. I bit my lip to keep my screech in and slapped Gabriel as I scurried out of his lap.

"What the hell was that for? I just helped you," he said in the same harsh whisper. As he held his cheek, that was almost as red as my entire face.

"Sorry sorry you just scarred me" I whispered. Gabriel sighed and stood up.

"Come on we have to get out of here." He said extending his hand to me. I took his hand and he pulled me up. Before I knew it he was dragging me out of the forest. I was surprised that no one was there, but I didn't question it, as Gabriel seemed to know when to hide and swerve.

Finally we made it out of the forest and still avoiding any Vikings we were able to make it to my house without any problems. As we climbed the steps two at a time we charged into the house slamming the door behind us. Gabriel took a seat on the staircase again while slumped to the ground leaning on the door. 'Why does he have to have such long legs' I thought, trying to get air in my lungs. Although Gabriel was only jogging I actually had to run to keep up.

"So you want to tell me what you were doing in the forest," he asked.

"Not particularly." I said, taking one final deep breath.

"Okay well which one would you rather answer what were you doing in the forest? Or what were you doing last night?" I froze at his question hoping that he didn't notice.

"I don't know what you're talking about and if you must know I was in the forest because I like to go for morning walks. However now I think I should go on morning runs."

"You really expect me to believe that."

I stood up and walked over to him. "I don't really care if you do or not."

He sighed and stood up as well. "I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. Either you tell me where you were last night or I show this" he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a rip cloth "to your aunt and tell here where exactly I found it."

'My cloak' I thought remembering the Deadly Nadder's welcoming attack. I tried my best not to show my panic "I don't know what that is, but if you could move so I can change that would be great." As I moved to step around him he followed my movement.

"I know your lying Halla. This came from your cloak. You let the dragon out I know you did Halla I saw you." He shouted.

"Keep your voice down" I seethed. "I didn't do anything, you heard Ash no Viking would let a dragon go." I felt disgusting for quoting Ash, but I needed to get out of this conversation and fast.

Gabriel seemed to get angry at my statement. "So what if you're not a Viking is that so wrong. So you have compassion for dragons how is that wrong?" 'He was right. I shouldn't be ashamed of helping dragons and I wasn't. I was scarred for them. I have to protect them and although Gabriel isn't a Viking, I couldn't take any risks.' I thought.

"Yes it is. I am the chief's daughter I don't let dragons go. I'm in dragon training for Odin's sake I was meant to lead this village and I can't do that if I'm letting dragons go. So get out of my way so I can get ready for training." As I went to push past him he grabbed my hand and pinned me to the wall.

"You're lying" he said, teeth clenched my handprint still visible on his face. "Your not like that Halla. You're not a killer."

I thought over his words for a moment. "No I'm not a killer," that I was sure of "but I think I would be willing kill to protect what I love." His eyes seemed to narrow for a moment "So why don't you stop wasting my time with these stupid question."

He looked at me for a moment probably shocked by my tone, but his face became normal and he shook his head. He grabbed my hand and placed the torn cloak in my hand. "I just wanted to let you know that your not alone Halla, you can trust me. I can help you if you let me." He wrapped my finger around my torn cloth and gripped it tightly for a second before letting go and taking a step back.

"You might want to get ready for training Lian doesn't like to be kept waiting." He walked to the door opening it and right as he was about to exit he said. "I wanted to free the dragons to, but somebody beat me to it. Glad to know that I can relate to someone on this island." And he walked out the house slamming the door behind him.

"What does he want from me" I muttered a voice in the back of my head answering "your trust."

I sighed my legs feeling a little shaky as I climbed the stairs. 'I have to be more careful. I have two dragons that I need to protect and take care of now.' I thought, walking to my room.
