thought '...'

speaking "..."

I want to warn anyone reading this story that due to school I may not be writing as much as I used to, but give me time and I will update I don't plan on ditching this story ever. I will update when I can.

Halla point of view:

Gabriel looked at me for a moment "Guess I can't ask you to wait for me here while I get my bow."

I looked at him for a moment my knives still on me. "Nope" I see some worry pass through his eyes "Don't worry" I say taking one of the knives out "I was serious when I meant I only want to kill one dragon."

He shakes his head at me placing a hand on my shoulder "try to be safe"

I purse my lips "I'll try."

He smiles and runs off shouting "I'll find you." I shake my head at all the different mood swings that seem to be happening to me. 'It's the dragons' I thought running to the back room to grab my slingshot and some ammo. I had the ammon in a drawstring pouch and I tired it to my belt and tucked the sling shot in one of the blade pockets, it was sticking out awkwardly, but it stayed. I made sure everything was secure before running into the fray of fire and chaos trying to find Gobber.

I ran into village looking for Gobber hell even any of the teens, but this raid like the last raid was more chaotic than the others. 'Are they still looking for something?' I thought running dodging a fireball 'is it Scarlet, Scarface was very interested in her last time. No he was looking for something before Scarlet…but what?' I thought running behind a burning building.

The dragons seemed more intent to raid the village rather than the livestock. They were burning buildings and fighting on the ground more than staying in the sky. 'If I was Gobber where would I be?' I thought, stopping my run to look around. The pillars were already up and it seemed that the fighting wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

I scanned the area trying to find Gobber, but as I was looking I had to leap to my left because a Gronckle was charging at me. However as the Gronckle missed me in an attempt to redirect itself it hit one of the pillars. I watched at this pillar seemed to sway for a bit, until another dragon in the air a Nightmare maybe seemed to hit the pillar with its tail. In slow motion I watched, as this pillar seem to come unhinged and start to fall. Before I knew it I was shouting "LOOK OUT."

However over the noise of the fighting no one heard me. Especially the Viking that was underneath the falling pillar, I found myself running towards the oblivious Viking shouting "PILLAR FALLING." This time some Vikings heard me, but the man underneath the falling pillar was to busy fighting a Deadly Nadder to be paying any attention. It wasn't until the Deadly Nadder scurried away did the Viking finally started to look around. However he was still oblivious to the danger that was happening behind him.

"LOOK OUT" I shouted running even faster, however the Viking just stood there looking around for another dragon to fight. The pillar was getting closer and before I was fully aware of what my body was doing I lunged at the Viking tackling him right as the pillar fell to the ground.

The body that I tackled was hard and tall and I was surprised that I was even able to move him. We were both on the ground and I was panting hard. There was a grunt of pain next to me. I turned ready to ask if the Viking was okay when I finally noticed whom it was I saved. My breath hitched as I realized that it was Skulluim.

He turned to look at me his eyes wide his shock. "Halla" he asked before grunting in pain. I looked down to notice that his legs were trapped underneath the broken pillar.

"Hold on" I said, scurrying to get up. I tried to lift the pillar off of him, but I was too weak to lift it. 'Come on' I thought, straining every muscle I could to lift the stupid pillar, but it wasn't moving. 'Shit come on' I thought, trying to push the beam off, but a grunt from Skulluim told me that it was hurting more than it was helping.

Just as I was about to yell for help a Nightmare dropped from the sky in front of me. 'Just great' I thought running to stand in front of Skulluim. I took out one of my knives not really sure what to do.

"Run Halla" I heard Skulluim "you can't beat a Nightmare your just...you're not a Viking."

I grunted my teeth and without taking my eyes off the dragon shouted "SHUT UP. I know what you think of me Skulluim, but right now you have to deal with the fact that I'm going to help you. So just shut up and try not to bring to much attention to yourself."

I don't know if Skulluim said anything after that because the dragon lunged at me and I dodged as far from the log as I could, throwing one of my knives that scraped the Nightmares neck making sure that it's attention was on me. It roared its full attention on only me. It lit itself on fire and started to crawl towards me. I took out my slingshot and rolling away from the dragons fire grabbed a piece of polished jade.

I pulled the rubber band all the way back and as the dragon turned its head I released the rubber band. The jade hitting the dragon straight in the eye, it roared again lifting its head up at it shaking it back and forth. I got another piece of jade and readied the slingshot and when the dragon got over the pain in growled facing me head on. I waited until it was five feet from me and fired again this time hitting the other eye. The dragon hissed turning itself around and this time hitting me with its tail.

I landed with an oomph my ribs starting to sting. The Nightmare roared slamming itself on the ground as it turned itself facing me although its eyes were both closed it was still able to tell where I was. I could see its nostrils flaring and it started to advance on me until I heard a familiar battle cry.

Out of no where Gobber was jumping on the Nightmare hitting it with his hammer, the Nightmare scurrying back, thrashing its head wildly to throw him off, but Gobber just kept hitting it until finally it was able to throw Gobber off.

"Gobber" I shouted, trying to run over to him, but the Nightmare turned its attention back to me hissing, but its not that easy to get rid of Gobber. Before the dragon was even aware of what was going on Gobber had jumped on its neck and again started to beat the dragon with a hammer.

"Halla" I turned and noticed Fishleg and the twins behind him.

"Fishleg, Ruffnut, Tuffnut I need your help" I shout when they reach me, placing the sling shot in an empty knife pocket.

"What about Gobber" asked Fishleg.

"He can take care of the Nightmare, right now we need to help Skulluim." I say running towards the fallen pillar, Fishleg and the twins behind me.

"I need you to help lift this off of him." I say already grabbing the log.

"What happened?" asked Ruffnut just standing there.

"Does it matter?" I snap, "We need to get him out before some dragon decided to make a snack out of him."

The twins looked at each other as Fishleg started to reach for the pillar. "NOW" the twins scurry to the pillar and with all of us we are able to lift the log up enough for Skullium to scrawl his way out.

"Fishleg help him up and get him somewhere safe. Tuffnut Ruffnut make sure to watch Fishlegs back, in other words look out for dragons." I order Fishleg handing me his shield as he picks Skulluim stand.

Skulluim is scowling at me "I ain't leaving. I can still fight."

I scoffed taking a step towards him "You couldn't even stand by yourself a pillar just fell on both your legs and unless you want this to be your last raid you'll shut up swallow your damn pride and let them help you." He glared at me his lips pulled up in a snarl, but I didn't care. I didn't just save him so that he could die out here in stupidity.

"I don't take orders from you lass" he spat.

"Fine than do what you want if you want to die than go for it." I shout, bringing the shield up to block a stray fireball. It had enough force to make me slide a bit, but I was able to hold my ground.

Skulluim lowered his head grumbling to himself. I turned to Fishlegs "Get him out of here." Fishleg nodded and with one twin in the front and the other in the back they made there way through the village.

As I turned my attention back to where Gobber and the dragon was I noticed that they were gone. 'Shit' I thought running back into the fray. As I was running I ducked behind a house dodging a crashed dragon, cringing a little when I heard it fall, but I began to hear a conversation between Vikings.

"There's a Nightmare headed for the forest." One Viking said.

"Did it have any livestock?" another asked

"No, but-"

"Than it's none of our concern."

'A dragon headed for the forest' I thought, peeking over the wall to make sure the coast is clear. 'Why would a dragon head there?' I had an icky feeling about this, and before I knew it I was heading towards the forest. 'That Nightmare was able to smell where I was…what if this Nightmare is tracking something the same way. What if its looking for Scarlet?' Panic started to set in 'What if it's looking for Toothless?' I thought, running as fast as I could into the forest.

'Not good' I thought, 'Not good.' The forest was dead and that's what scared me the most. The forest was never dead; there was always some type of noise going on whether it was the wind or the insect. I looked down and noticed a large footprint, fresh. I kneeled down to get a better look at them because they seemed to disappear. When suddenly a branch fell and a rustling noise started to come from above. I looked up to notice the Nightmare above me its jaws opened and the light of fire deep in its throat.

I quickly dodged the attack falling to the floor, as the fire seemed to spread. 'Shit' I thought, getting up and the Nightmare dropped to the ground the trees catching fire from the previous attack. I backed away slowly, but the fire was spreading fast up the tree, and the ground. As I looked at the Nightmare my eyes caught the scared eye. "Scarface" I muttered, it seemed to grin at me as it recognized me, before shooting out another fire attack.

I brought the shield up to me blocking the attack as I began to take one of my knives out. I could hear the heavy steps of the Nightmare in front of me, and I dodged the charge by running deeper into the forest. But as I looked behind me I realized I had another problem. The forest was starting to catch fire and it was spreading fast. Not only that but my shield probably won't be able to last that many more direct attacks.

I ran dodging each of the Nightmares attack only to have the forest fire grow. I turned around and throw one of the knives it hit Scarface in the shoulder, but didn't seem to slow him down in the least. I ran grabbing another knife. I looked behind me and dropped to the floor as he jumped over me landing in front of me. I didn't waste any time getting up, but as I turned around I was blocked by a burning tree falling in front of me, I looked to my right only to see that the ground was already on fire, as I turned to my left I knew I didn't have any choice, but to go further in. 'if I can get to the cliffs I'll be safe.' I thought, running right as a tree branch fell behind me.

I heard a roar and running right next to me was Scarface. Leaping over a fallen log I threw the knife and hit him in his back. He hissed, but did nothing, but climb a tree. I tried to look up to see where he was, but I couldn't see much. The smoke was starting to grow and it was getting harder to breath. I looked over my shoulder and the fire was out of control, it was right at my heel. I tried to keep, my eyes open for Scarface, but with this forest fire it didn't really matter where the dragon was if I couldn't breathe.

I kept running, but the fire was everywhere. I looked for an opening in it and found one to my right, but as I tried to run that way Scarface leapt out of the fire blocking my escape. It roared in my face showing its teeth. I backed away slowly pulling out another knife, but I couldn't keep from inhaling smoke. I started to cough and that was when Scarface lunged. I readied my shield widening my stance, but what I wasn't expecting was for another Nightmare to body slam into him. As I looked I smiled coughing out "Scarlet." Scarlet roared pushing Scarface into the fire allowing me to escape. I turned to try and find Scarlet and Scarface, but in the fire at night I couldn't tell them apart from the burning forest.

"HALLA" I turned my head and noticed my aunt and Gabriel at her side.

"Auntie" I shouted running towards her. We met half way and I knew she wanted to ask if I was okay, but before she could get a word out we heard a roar and a Nightmare was charging at us. Auntie had her axe and Gabriel his bow and arrow. I knew the Nightmare was Scarface and gripped my knife tighter. As it charged Gabriel notched an arrow and pulled back the string as far back as he could. He released, but Scarface dodged and attacked Auntie's left.

However Auntie seemed ready for the attack she dodged and with her axe was able to cut Scarface's underbelly. Scarface roared and with his tail was able to hit Auntie causing her to fall. "Captain" Gabriel shouted firing another arrow. This one hit Scarface's wing. Scarface reared its head up hissing before turning its attention to Gabriel and shooting another stream of fire. I jumped in front of Gabriel blocking the attack with the shield. Gabriel went around me and tried to fire another arrow this one hitting Scarface shoulder, Scarface roared smacking me with one of his wings as he faced Gabril. I hit a tree the shield split form the tail attack. Using Gabriel as a distraction I discarded the damaged shield and jumped on Scarface's back. I shoved my knife as deep as I could into his neck. It roared thrashing violently trying hard to throw me off, but I held on for as long as I could twisting the knife. I could hear Auntie and Gabriel shouting something, but I couldn't tell what. Scarface reared back and with a sharp turn was able to throw me off.

"HALLA" I heard them shout as I landed in the middle of the burning forest. I cringed feeling the heat beside me, but I opened my eyes when I didn't feel any pain. Instead I felt something scaly and leathery. I opened my eyes to see Scarlet laying low on the ground her wing over me. "Your okay" I murmured, Scarlet nodded her head, but I could already see the cuts on her neck and wing. In a quick movement her tail swept passed the flamed extinguishing them. With a look at Scarlet I nodded and ran out form under her wing back into the fight.

I watched as Auntie and Gabriel were fighting Scarface and seemed to be winning. Since it was distracted I took one of my knives out and with as much power as I could I throw it hitting the middle of Scarface's wing. It roared turning its attention back to me. 'A downed dragon is a dead dragon' I thought, dodging Scarface's tail attack. Before any of us had another chance to attack Scarface started to climb a tree. Gabriel tried to hit him with another arrow, but the forest fire was to close.

"Come on" shouted Auntie, running away from the fire. Gabriel and I followed behind, however Gabriel was still looking up in the trees, I grabbed his hand steering him from hitting anything as he continued to look up.

"Look out" he shouts, pulling me to him. I stumble falling into his arms. Just as I was about to ask what a large branch that was on fire fell in front of us. Auntie looked behind her and noticed that we were cut off from each other. We tried to or around, but as we tired some where in the tree a blast of fire shot out in front of us.

Gabriel pulled me aside before shouting "Captain go on ahead we'll find another way out." We didn't wait for a reply before we started to running.

"Gabriel do you even know where you're going?" I shout, trying hard to keep up with him.

"Not a clue" he says running away, our hands still connected.

I turned us towards the left still thinking about the cliffs. "This way." I said, taking the league. However as we were running Scarface jumped out of the trees. "Look out" I shouted, pushing Gabriel aside. However I wasn't able to push him fast enough because Scarface's wing collides with Gabriel's head sending him into a tree knocking him out.

"Gabriel" I shouted grabbing another knife, but Scarface was quick and jumped in front of Gabriel snapping its jaws at me. "You seem a little beat up their Scarface." I say starting to circle the dragon, trying to get closer to Gabriel.

Scarface hissed, but began to circle. 'I have to make this quick, that fire is slowing down, but another shot of fire and we're done. I can't fight a dragon and carry an unconscious Gabriel.' I thought, tightening the grip on the knife.

Scarface roared and began to make his way towards us. I stood my ground not moving from Gabriel. Suddenly something sleek and small lunged at the dragon. Scarface fell on the ground and that something was standing in front of me growling teeth exposed. "Toothless" I shouted in relief. Toothless turned to look at me his emerald cat like eyes staring at me for a moment before turning himself back to Scarface.

Scarface eye seem to widen his nostrils flaring, teeth clenched in a snarl. Toothless roared lunging at Scarface. The two started to wrestle with each other, each one biting and scratch the other every chance they got. Toothless was on the ground with Scarface on top. I clenched my teeth in anger and shouted "GET OFF OF HIM" before throwing the knife at him; it embedded itself in Scarface's neck. Scarface turned looking at me growling, but before he could do anything Toothless kicked him off biting his neck. Scarface is some how able to throw him off and out of nowhere Scarlet comes running out of the tree attacking Scarface.

I leaned down to Gabriel shaking his shoulder. "Come on wake up." I say shaking him a little harder "Wake up." But nothing he was knocked out cold.

As I turned back to the fighting dragons Toothless and Scarface going at it "Scarlet" I shout, "We have to get out of here." Scarlet turns to me and begins to crawls over next to me. I can tell the forest fire is getting closer from the smoke. I struggle to get Gabriel on Scarlet, putting his bow on my back and not carrying about the arrows that fall out of his quiver. I finally get him on Scarlet and place him in between Scarlet's neck and me. "Scarlet head to the cliffs we need to get away from the fire." I murmur trying to get a good hold of Gabriel.

"Toothless come on" I shout as Scarlet took off. It wasn't long until I could hear two different sets of heavy footprints. Tapping my foot on whichever side I wanted Scarlet to turn I was able to lead her to the cliffs. When we finally reached the cliffs I tried to get off of Scarlet, but before I knew it she started to climb the cliff and stopping at a ledge nig enough to fit two people.

I got off of Scarlet and with as much difficulty getting Gabriel on Scarlet it was just as hard to get him off of her. Toothless tried to climb the cliff, but Scarface lunged at him dragging him down the side of the cliff by biting his shoulder. They started another wrestling match and just as I pulled Gabriel off of Scarlet she ran down the cliff jumping off and attacking Scarface.

Although it was two against one and Scarface was already injured he still refused to go down. He was holding his own against Toothless and Scarlet, and I could tell that Scarlet was getting tired. I looked around trying to figure out any way to help. I looked over and noticed a large set of boulders that looked unstable with the right push. Placing Gabriel bow next to him I began to climb to the ledge with unsteady boulders, it was probably a good fifteen feet away. 'I can do this' I thought, stepping off the ledge to get a good grip on the cliff.

I could hear the roaring and hissing coming from down below, but I didn't dare stop in fear of catching any of the dragon's attentions. Finally I reached the large boulders and I tried to give it a good push with my shoulder, but it was to heavy. 'No not now, I have to be strong. I have to help' I thought, trying to push harder.

After a while I placed my back on the cliff and than placed my legs on the largest boulder and began to push. I kept pushing the boulder, but it was being stubborn. "Come on" I gasped out pushing. Finally it started to move. "TOOTHLESS" I shouted, trying not to lose the power I have. I couldn't see anything that was going on down below because of the boulders, but I had to trust that Toothless knew what I was planning. I could hear roars and the sound of snapping jaws. 'Its now or never' I thought, pushing with all my might. I could hear some of the smaller rocks starts to fall "almost" I muttered panting. Finally with one final push the boulders started to fall. I fell on the floor as the boulders plummet off the cliff.

I could hear a roar from down below, and as I crawled to the edge of the ledge I took a sigh of relief when I noticed that Scarlet and Toothless where there. Before I could climb down the cliff Toothless was running up the cliff meeting me at the ledge.

"Your hurt" I said, looking at the fresh cuts and the bite marks on him. The trails of blood falling over his body, but Toothless didn't hesitate to crawl over to me nudging my cheek with his nose. "Your okay" I muttered patting his nose "Your really okay." I tried to take a deep breath, but it was shaky. Before I knew what was going on I found myself on the back of Toothless climbing down the cliff. I tired not to touch any of the cuts, but Toothless back was covered in them. 'I'm going to have to get some bandages and ointment for him.' I thought trying not to touch too much of Toothless.

When we got down I noticed that Scarlet wasn't there as I looked around I noticed that she was on the cliff getting Gabriel. I looked over at the pile of boulders Scarface was completely covered in boulders only part of his wings, tail, and part of its snout could be seen. For some reason I felt numb. I killed the dragon that killed my mom, I should be happy I should be…I should feel something, but as I looked at the blood on my hands that came from Scarface's neck I realized that it changed nothing. Killing Scarface for revenge didn't bring my mom back if anything it made me just like the rest of the Vikings. I felt like I wanted to throw up, Toothless nudged me again.

I turned to look at him I gave him a small smile "I'm not sad that I killed him because he was hurting you and Scarlet, but I always thought that if I could kill my mother's killer I'd feel better about myself and everything in my life would get better…but…nothing changed…he's dead, mom's still dead, and now I'm." I gulped feeling tears in my eyes "now I'm just like the rest of the tribe."

The next thing I knew Scarlet was next to me burying her snout in my neck. I turned to her and noticed that she was almost as beat up as her first fight with Scarface. "I'm sorry Scarlet. I let him hurt you again." I cried gently grabbing her face. Scarlet cooed nuzzling my face. "You were just getting better to." I muttered a sob escaping me.

That's when I heard something shuffling; I turned around noticing that Gabriel was still unconscious. I got up and started to walk over to him. He was a little beat up some cuts on his cloths and arm, his clothes had some burned edges, but he himself looked alright. 'He's got a hard head he'll be alright' I thought taking a sigh of relief. That was until I heard a roar.

I quickly looked up to see Scarface leaping out of the pile of boulders. Its wing was bent wrong, but that didn't stop him from flinging himself at Toothless banging him against the cliff as his tail taking a swipe of Scarlet. "NOO" I shouted. Scarface turned his head towards me and before I knew it he was coming straight at me. I pulled out a knife, but I was to slow because he head butted me causing me to fly at least ten feet. Scarface didn't even pay any attention to Gabriel as he kept up his charge. His mouth was open and I could tell that he was ready for another fire attack. On instinct I grabbed my slingshot and digging into the pouch of ammo I pulled out a small metal ball. I pulled the rubber band back and as Scarface opened his mouth a little wider. I released 'Please work'. His mouth snapped shut around the little metal ball and I could tell that he swallowed it. He snarled at me for a moment, but soon his face changed to that of pain.

I ran around Scarface, as he seemed to shake roaring in confusion. I slid next to Gabriel and covered his head with my body. Scarface gave a final deaf defying roar until I heard a sort of popping sound. I cringed as I felt some thing splatter on my back.

Cautiously I looked over my shoulder and Scarface was on the ground his stomach smoking. I slowly got up from Gabriel's side and inched myself closer to Scarface, from the footsteps behind me I could tell Toothless was behind me as well. We walked around Scarface his eye glassed over, but his stomach was completely gone. Some of his ribs were sticking out but his stomach was gone. I brought my hand to my nose the smell was horrible, smoke still rising from the remains of Scarface's underbelly. This time I couldn't help it I threw up. Toothless nudged me away and I found it hard to breath. 'I did that' I thought, 'He deserved to die, but not like that.'

That's when I felt something wet on my cheek, I looked up and noticed the dark clouds overhead. "Come on Toothless we have to find shelter." I say, running towards Gabriel as I felt another drop of rain on my head. 'We have to get away from the cliffs, if that's a thunderstorm we could get struck.' I thought helping putting Gabriel on Scarlet's back. "Scarlet we need to get out of here." I say carefully getting on Toothless back. Scarlet roars and takes off Toothless close behind.

It wasn't long until I found myself on the southern part of the island. We weren't that far from the village, but we were away from Scarface. Scarlet led the way to a small beach one that I didn't even know existed. She kept walking until we reached a giant cove. It smelled like salt, 'but anything was better than burnt flesh' I thought cringing.

I carefully took Gabriel off of Scarlet, making sure not to hit his head. When I got him on the ground Scarlet took off. "Scarlet" I shouted, but she was gone the sky already starting to rain, and with Gabriel's weight it made it harder to go after her. Toothless stood in front of us peering down at Gabriel confusion on his face.

"He's a friend Toothless." I say, moving some hair out of his face. "He won't hurt us." Toothless grunted and walked around us so that I could lean up against him. I sighed against him closing my eyes for a moment. 'This is not what I expected today.' I thought one of my hands supporting Gabriel's head the other clutching his shoulder. "Toothless we have to clean your wounds." I muttered my eyes still shut. Toothless grunted again closing himself around us.

I don't know how long it was until Scarlet came back, but it was raining harder. When she entered the cove I noticed that she was carrying baskets and I knew that she went to the cove to get my tools and Toothless saddle. Which was probably a good idea seeing as how Viking will be scouting the forest for a while. 'So much for the cove being safe' I thought as I watched her open one of the baskets with her tail and taking out my ripped cloak. She placed it over Gabriel and curled in front of us blocking the entrance of the cove.

I looked at Toothless and Scarlet examining them as much as I could in a dark cave, then looked down at Gabriel running my fingers through his hair. "I'm glad you're all safe."
