The silent kitten

Chapter 38

There were a lot of gasps coming from the vikings. Ya I just made myself a chief of dragons. Stoic looked shocked. But that slowly turned to anger. "You are a viking of Berk! You can not make yourself a chief of dragons while you live here in my village!" He bolted out with anger. "Fine then I am no longer a Berkian. I will claim dragon island as my home and I will live with the dragons and show you all that they are wonderful creatures. You are welcome to visit anytime" I say curtly. I turn to the dragons who were sitting behind me and motion for them to follow me. We go to walk out of the arena when Stoic moved in front of me. "You are not leaving with our dragons" He grumbles out.

"You can not own dragons. They are like a friend and you do not own friends" I say sternly. I motion with my hand at my side for the dragons to go ahead out in the open. As the dragons slowly walk around Stoic and I who were having a stare down the chief pushed me down and yelled for the other Vikings to catch the dragons and put them back into their cages. I twisted around and got out of Stoic's grip flinging him away from me. I yell at the dragons to fly away while I run to them. I let out a roar of pain as my shoulder got hit hard. I look down to see it was cut open and bleeding. I held my shoulder gritting my teeth together in pain.

I look to see that Stoic had thrown his battle ax at me. I heard a loud screech and the next thing I knew Amenyx and Toothless had come crashing into the arena. Amenyx circled me growling at all the Vikings. The other dragons had turned around and surrounded me when I yelled. Toothless went to Hiccup and brought him over to me causing Hiccup and I to stand in the center of a group of dragons. I went to put my hand on Amenyx's head but swayed as my vision blurred. I stumbled and fell being caught by the big black dragon with deep amethyst eyes. I look into her eyes before my vision darkened.

Hiccup's pov

I watched as my dad threw his ax at Kit. I watched in horror as it landed in her shoulder causing her to yell out in a dragon like roar of pain. I felt my heart clench in pain. I went to run to her but got pushed to the side as the dragons all ran to her and surrounded her. I looked up in time to see Amenyx burst through the top of the arena and land next to Kit. Toothless followed and came to me as soon as he saw me. He pushed me up to my feet and lead me over to the girl that my heart beat for. The next thing I knew I was standing in the center of the circle that the dragons had formed with Kit as the center. They were protecting her.

I saw Kit go towards Amenyx but she stumbled and fell. I went to go grab her but Amenyx caught her and looked into her eyes as the girl past out on the dragon. Amenyx then looked very mad and glared and growled at all of the Vikings that were surrounding us. "Hey! You hurt our sister!" I heard Ruffnut yell at my dad. I saw her run up to the dragons trying to see Kit. "Hey let me through you idiots I need to get to my sister! She is hurt!" She kept yelling until she was in front of the dragons. She stopped and stared for a second clearly scared. I walk towards her and grab her hand leading her over to Amenyx who was watching us skeptically.

"Kit!" Ruffnut gasped. She slowly walked up to the dragon who was guarding the unconscious girl. There were whispers everywhere about the two Nightfuries that had landed in the arena. The next thing I knew all of the Vikings were coming into the arena fighting the dragons recapturing them. I tried to get them to stop but got pushed around as the dragons were taken down. Toothless went to attack my dad when I yelled "STOOPP!!!!" Toothless stopped and looked at me while sitting on my dad. Then he was tackled and held to the ground. "No please don't hurt him. Please" I call out as Astrid stops me from going to my dragon.

I looked over to see that the twins were holding their sister protectively as the Vikings fought with Amenyx trying to capture her. "Run! She will be safe!" I yell at the female Nightfury. She gives me a sad look before tackling some more Vikings and flying off. I look back to my dad who is glaring at Toothless. "Put him with the others" My dad orders. I watch in terror as they hall off my best friend who gets tied down. I lost track of where Kit was and couldn't find her anywhere. Astrid came up to me after all of the Vikings left with Toothless on boats.

"It's a mess. Kit claiming to be chief of the dragons. The fight with her and the dragons. She is going to be ok by the way. She is resting with her siblings back at their house. You guys must feel horrible. You lost your father, your tribe, your best friend. She lost her tribe and almost died protecting the new one she wanted" She says looking out to the ocean. "Thank you for summing that up" I tell her sarcastically. "Why couldn't I kill that dragon while I was in the woods? Why didn't I run to my dad telling him about a mysterious girl riding a Nightfury? It would have been better for everyone"

"Yup the rest of us would have done it. So why didn't you?" Astrid asks looking at the boy. "Why didn't you?" "I don't know" I tell her as I turn away from her. "I couldn't" I say. "That's not an answer" She interjects. "Why is this important to you all of a sudden?" I ask her irritably. "Because I want to remember what you say. Right now" She says looking into my face. "Oh for the love of ---I was a coward. I was weak. I wouldn't kill a dragon" I say in frustration. "You said 'wouldn't' that time" She says with a small smile. "Oh what ever!! I wouldn't! Three hundred years and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon" I say angrily.

We stood for a moment in silence. I turned around thinking about Toothless and Kit and even Amenyx who probably flew off back to the cove. "First one to ride one though" Astrid puts in. "I didn't ride a dragon first. Kit did. Kit was the one who helped me become friends with Toothless" I tell her not looking at her. "So?" She asks. "I wouldn't kill him because he looked as frightened as I was. And she looked so beautiful and happy to show me how to become friends with a dragon" I tell her as I turn around. There seemed to be a flash of jealousy in her eyes but it disappeared as fast as it came. "I looked at him and saw myself" I tell her softly.

"I bet he's really frightened right now. What are you going to do about it" Astrid says. I just shrug and reply with "Eh probably something stupid" "Good but Kit's already done that" She says giving an encouraging smile. I look up with determination as a plan forms in my head. "Then something crazy" I tell her as I start to jog backwards while turning and running. "That's more like it" Astrid says with a smile and follows the boy up the ramp to fulfill the boys plan.
