Night Fury
Chapter 2
Astrid loved riding on the back of Toothless, even though no one ever rides him other then Hiccup. Toothless was in an accident the Hiccup has never really explained which caused Toothless’s tail to be torn and unable to use. Hiccup created a working mechanism to keep Toothless in flight, the catch is he has to always have a rider or he can only glide. Astrid ran her fingers over his scales smiling as Toothless lets out a soft growl that sounded something close to a purr. Hiccup had finally stopped lecturing her and telling her how much trouble she was in and so on and on. Astrid was about to fall off Toothless just for a break of having to listen Hiccup a second longer.
Astrid’s body grew rigid when she saw the island that was connected to the mainland. The island was dubbed Berk and it was where her village was settled. Toothless glided on the winds as he landed in the center of the village, she felt her wolf hunker down, tail between her legs. Astrid could feel the eyes of everyone on her, and her wolf was starting to snap inside her, the old saying is when you corner a wolf they either summit or attack. Astrid’s wolf was definitely not going to summit to anyone which means she would attack and defend herself.
Toothless nudges her hand with his head doing the growling purr, Astrid lifted her mouth into a half smile running her fingers over his black scales, they were smooth and felt amazing under her fingertips. A loud roar rumbled through the terrian which caused Astrid to shiver and toothless to glare in the direction of the huge green colored dragon. It moved forward the omega gritted her teeth at how she was ready to submit to the chiefs dragon. She refused in her mind and let her fingernails dig into the palms of her hands. The Rumblehorn also known as Skullcrusher moved to the side allowing for Stoick the Vast to move forward. He was huge, hands looking like they could crush your skull into powder, his green eyes were hard and focused on her. Him and Hiccup were opposites except for the red hair and green eyes. Stoick looked at Astrid and she quickly looked down before his deep booming voice to command of the situation.
“Astrid Hofferson what in Thors name do you think you were doing away from the mainland without an escort?” Astrid gulped feeling the heated stare of the chief, she kicked at the ground dust flying into the air.
“I was um just...waking.” She muttered fiddling with her fingers her gaze focused on her hands. She could feel Hiccup’s stare on her, her wolf was growling at him knowing that the goodie alpha was going to speak up.
“Dad when I found her she had another alpha’s scent on her.” mummers erupted when he spoke up. Astrid felt her face heat up warmth spreading over her cheeks, if all eyes were not on her they were now. She kicked the dirt and glared at Hiccup she had never had an issue holding his stare though it did take some time for her to be able to do so.
“She um she saved me from a changewing. That was all.” She muttered looking above the chiefs head but keeping her head up blue eyes narrowing. The chief lifted a hand to his beard stroking it in thought.
“This is why you must always have an escort. You could have died from the Changewing, or this loner could have saved you and then taken advantage of you.” Astrid felt her wolf raise her hackles again. Omegas were not breakable, she could handle herself, and yet she heard confirmation from all around her mainly from the omegas at that. It got under her skin so much because how could she prove anything if they just wanted to be sheep. Hiccup looked between the two before speaking up.
“It was my fault, I left her alone to go after the Changewing I didn’t think she would go running through the woods.” Stoick turned on his son growling. Astrid looked between the two seeing their two wolves growl at each other.
“We shall talk about this now.” Then he turned his hard eyes toward Astrid. “You stay within the village or with your escort.” Astrid muttered a reply before Stoick, and Hiccup went inside their home to have what was most likely a yelling match. She turned toward Toothless who was sitting and looked at her smiling his mouth open slightly showing that his teeth were retracted into his gums.
“Alphas are quite stupid huh bud.” She moved scratching under Toothless’s chin watching as his foot started thumping against the ground. Her eyes sparkled at watching him. “I want a partner. I wonder what kind of dragon that loner alpha had.” Toothless growled glaring at her, Astrid let out a sigh. “You to? I knew what I was doing I was fine.” Toothless lifted his head and started to laugh his tail thumping the ground. Astrid huffed turning on her heel and walking towards her hut, she watched as some of the dragons were flying around. Except Skullcrusher who was currently sleeping outside his alpha’s hut. A Terrible Terror fly by, curious to Astrid this was not one of the ones she knew.
It stopped and landed on the perch of her parents hut, it looked at her then took off again before landing on the ground and looking back at her. Astrid cocked her head to the side and looked around before moving forward after the little creature. She looked back at the chief’s house taking notice that Toothless was inside and not watching her. She smiled and moved forward following after the Terrible Terror. Her fur boots hit the ground eating it up as she followed the tiny dragon out of the village and into the woods away from the tiny makeshift island of Berk.
