Fight or Flight

The next day Urd was eating her breakfast quietly with her friends and team. She looked up seeing most of the boys staring at her making her glance at her friend Astrid. "Word is that you survived from a Deadly Napper and a Nightfury attack." Said Astrid. "What was it like to be that close to one?" Said Fishlegs. "Oh i dont know. Maybe ask my sprained wrist and the broken branches that slowed my fall." Said Urd sarcastically. "Sorry but come on. At least tell us. You're a Viking Queen." Said Fishlegs. "Hey dont hit on my girlfriend." Said Snotloud. "We arent dating and wont ever happen. Besides i only killed one dragon years ago." Said Urd. "Not just any dragon. A Nightfury. No one has ever killed one except you." Said The blonde boy. "I was four and im going to change my bandages." Said Urd walking off with her empty plate. "Let take your plate Urd." Said Fishlegs then got tripped by Snotloud. "No im her future husband so im doing it." Said Snotloud. "What ever im not dealing with you girls." Said Urd leaving her plate on the empty table. She ignored the two boys fighting on her way out and looked out to see Hiccup heading to the forest. Humming in thought Urd got quickly interrupted by Gobber calling her over. "Yes. Gobber." Said Urd. "I know you cant do dragon training with your injury so your father wants you just observe it next to me. Plus to keep an eye on Hiccup." Said Gobber. "Wait a minute. Is he still that worried about me almost taken by dragon again?" Said Urd. "Hes the chief and your father. I better listen to him if i were you including Hiccup. Speaking of him, you havent seen him around have you?" Said Gobber looking around. "No but i can easily find him." Said Urd about to leave. "Oh no you dont. Youre not leaving my sight like those other times and you cant change my mind." Said Gobber closing his eyes for second.

He opened them again to see Urd already gone and looked around seeing no sign of where she went. "Hate it when she does that." Said Gobber going to search for her. Once he was gone out of sight the column of one of the large statues opened up by Urd by one of her many secret door ways checking to make sure that no one was watching and ran to the woods to find Hiccup. She slowed on her pace from how uneven the ground was coming to a stop to see which direction her brother went. Urd heard a rustling noise making her turn to find nothing but stood in her place not moving a muscle. "Ragnar." She whispered. 'If your looking for brother. I caught his scent not long ago but it's gonna cost you a few fish baskets.' Ragnar grumbled as he appeared in front of her hanging upside down from a branch. "Oh come on!" Said Urd as Ragnar came down landing on his feet. Ragnar narrowed his eyes grinning showing his gums seeing Urd do the same without the grin. "Fine but if we're lucky. I can check my fish trappings for the huge ones that you love so much if you can help me find Hiccup." Said Urd. Ragnar did a little happy wiggle before tossing Urd up onto his back and used his camouflage to blend them in. He ran to the direction Hiccup went by following his snout for an hour until he stopped behind a tree. They both peeked over to see Hiccup about to stab his knife into the Nightfury that was trapped. "Don't." Said Urd very softly. She can tell Ragnar was glaring daggers at Hiccup with a bit of a snarl ready to attack him. Urd and Ragnar then watched Hiccup sighed lowering his knife and quickly started cutting the ropes while checking if anyone was watching him. As the Nightfury was free got up to pin Hiccup against the boulder staring at him as Hiccup slowly did the same with his fear fade away.

The Nightfury let him go before letting out his roar and tried to fly away but couldn't hurting himself a times. Urd gestured Ragnar to go leaving her to talk to Hiccup who then passed out on the ground in shock. She smiled to see someone had different thoughts on dragons and stood in front of Hiccup until he woke up. After some time he groan lifting his head to see a pair of legs and quickly got up to see Urd with her arms crossed and smirking. "Urd! What what are you doing here?" Said Hiccup. "Looking for you." Said Urd. "Well you found me. Me. Just me. Let's go home." Said Hiccup wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "Hiccup." Said Urd stopping them. "Yeah. What is it?" Said Hiccup looking nervous. "We saw you save a dragon." Said Urd. "You?! We? Who's we? Who else saw? Was it Dad?" Said Hiccup. "Relax. It was only me and my friend Ragnar. He went home and your secret is safe with us." Said Urd. "Oh thank Thor." Said Hiccup in relief. "Come on let's go home before Gobble sends a search party for us." Said Urd walking with him. They walked back to Berk quietly until It's noticed a look on Hiccups face. "You want to talk. Don't you?" Said Urd stopping him on their way to their house. "Why didn't I kill him?" Said Hiccup. "I don't know but you're not the only one who didn't kill a dragon." Said Urd then saw their Dad coming with Gobber. "Urd! Where have you been?!" Said the man. "Stoick take it easy on her. She must've been looking for Hiccup or went out exploring the island again." Said Gobber. "By herself after what happened last night?" Said Stoick looking at him. "Dad. Relax. I ran into Urd when I went out walking into the forest practicing my Viking skills. We're talking until we lost track of time." Said Hiccup. "You can have time for that in Dragon training tomorrow with Urd watching." Said Stoick. "Yeah. Gobber told me before I left to find Hiccup. But can I least do something besides watching the training." Said Urd. "You heard Gothi. No fighting or training for a few days until you're completely healed. You can help set up the shields and other simple tasks Gobber wants done but that's it. Understood?" Said Stoick. "Yes." Said Urd as Hiccup followed her inside. She went to her bed next to Hiccups and laid down watching Hiccup scribble on his journal across their room until she fell asleep.
