The silent kitten

Chapter 6

We all walk out of the academy talking to each other about today. Everyone is surrounding me asking me about myself. "So besides that awesome stare and those awesome moves what else can you do?" Astrid asks as we head away from the academy. "Well what do you want to know?" I ask hesitantly. "What did you do all of your life hiding away in your house?" Fishlegs asked a little shyly. "I read books mostly. There were times when mom and dad weren't around and I'd wrestle and play with Ruff and Tuff. But when mother is home I'm trapped in this room known as my closet to my siblings, where mother dresses me up as a doll" I tell them with a shudder.

"Ya there were moments when we would hear screaming from our rooms and realize that mom was beating her because she wasn't doing her poses or facial looks right" Ruff shudders out. The group gives me sympathetic looks. "Look I don't really care about that anymore because I finally left. I walked out of our house this morning right next to Ruff and Tuff wile our parents were asleep" I say in annoyance. I look around and see that we were heading towards the village. I don't feel like dealing with more people today so I'm going to get away now. I also realize that Hiccup isn't around anymore either.

"Hey you guys today has been fun and all but I need some alone time now. It's a big step going from talking to family to speaking to people my age and what not" I say a little nervously. "I understand you want to run off and think about me and all of my muscly handsomeness alone" Snotlout says as he leans towards me with a flirtatious smirk. "Is he for real?" I ask my brother and sister. "Ya he does that a lot" Ruff says with a look of disgust.

I turn towards the forest and wave to the group signaling my good-bye. As I turn I see them all wave at me. "See you at home sis!!" Ruff and Tuff say before walking away with the group. I smile softly to myself. Today has been a good day. I feel happy and feel free for once. Also I made friends today.... me.... making friends. All my life my mother always told me that I would never have friends. I grew up my whole life thinking that I would be shut away forever never getting to see or meet anybody.

As I walk through the woods I try to calm down. Thinking about my mother and all of those lies and things that she did to me made me so mad. I punched a tree that I was walking by. I snap out of it as I see the tree fall down after I punched it. I stare a little shocked at what I just did. I shrug it off thinking that the tree was lose and my punch just finished what was already going to happen. As I got closer to the cove I calmed down so much that I started to sing.

I had stopped at the top of the cove and sung the last half of the song looking at the sky. When I finished my song I sighed and looked down into the cove to see Hiccup and both dragons staring at me. I blush bright red and run back behind a tree. "Stupid stupid stupid" I mutter to myself as I hide behind a tree.

I hear a rustle and I turn to see Amenyx walking towards me. "Hey girl" I say as I stand up and rub my head over her head. "Sorry about that I didn't think that Hiccup was down there with you guys" I tell her as we walk back to the cove. When I look up after crawling under the shield, I see Hiccup watching the other dragon. I walk over to him and sit beside him and see him drawing the dragon. It looked just like the nightfury.

"You know he is missing that fin right there" I say as I rub the fin away. He looks up at the dragon and realizes that I am right. "How di-" "Whoever shot him down tore off that fin" I say interrupting him. "Oh" he says guiltily. "Do you know how he got caught?" I ask him as I get up and walk towards the dragon. "Uh ya... about that.... I ....kinda shot.. him down" Hiccup says as he watches me walk up to the dragon. "Come here boy I want to see how your tail is" I call out to the dragon. "Why haven't you named him?" Hiccup asks me as he walks up to me. I look at him as the dragon walks up to me. "Because I already have a dragon that I am bonded to" I state clearly taking the bandage off of the dragons tail.

"Its healed really well there" I say as I toss the cloth aside. "You won't be able to fly though" I tell him softly as I pet his head. He croons at me sadly. I sigh and look at Hiccup. "That fin is gone and soon he will be to" I tell Hiccup as I walk over to the pond. I sat down and bring out my journal and start to doodle Amenyx's face.

Hiccup sits beside me and does the same. He drew a pretty good body picture of the male dragon, but rubbed the fin away. This picture was way more detailed then the one he was drawing earlier. We sit there and just doodled for a little while until it got dark. "Are you hungry?" Hiccup asks as he stands up. "Ya I haven't eaten anything all day" As if on cue my stomach started to rumble.

I blush as my stomach makes itself known to the dragons and boy. "Hahaha!" Hiccup starts to laugh. "Hey your stomach is growling to!" I yell at him as his stomach lets off a big growl. "Ok ok you got me I'm hungry to" He says holding his hands up. We walk away saying bye to the dragons and start heading back to the village.
