"As Fast As A Lightning Bolt" Httyd OC Fanfiction

Bonding with the twins (Chapter 6)

Dusty's eyes shot wide open as soon as she heard a loud knock on the door. Dusty groaned as she got up and dragged herself to the door, her back was slumped over and her arms were left hanging. She went over to the door and opened it, there she saw Ruffnut and Tuffnut standing there. They both were holding rocks.
"Heya Dust! Wanna throw rocks at people with us?" Ruffnut asked her with a happy expression, her twin was also smiling brightly. Dusty blinked, it took her about a minute to process what she just said. She snapped out of her trance and nodded.
"Heh, sure why not." Dusty smiled at them. Her eyes suddenly widened when she remembered that Ruffnut just called her Dust. The nickname Dusty's mum gave her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Tuffnut asked her confused.
"Huh? Oh yeah I am. Don't worry!" She smiled sheepishly, Tuffnut shrugged it off and handed her over a pile of tiny stones.

After a few rock throwing hours of fun, Dusty and the twins have started a friendship. The three would usually hang out every day, and Dusty would even root for them when they were dragon killing (even though she hated the dragon killing) but Hiccup would always win. She knew why, although she did stop visiting him trying to train the dragons, she did catch him flying on Toothless when she and Striker were out flying. She was quite surprised but she also was expecting it to happen sometime.

Dusty one day was in the woods walking around, she called for her dragon multiple times but failed to reach him as she walked around.
"Ugh.. Striker! Hey where are you boy!?" She called out again, she then did a dragon-like noise using her fingers. He still didn't come, she suddenly heard a growl somewhere above her. She looked up and Striker was hanging upside-down and looking directly at Dusty. "There you are!"
Striker headed down and purred as Dusty petted his head and scratched under his jaw. "Sorry I wasn't able to hang out with you. I made new friends with twins you see." Dusty chuckled, Strikers spikes bent down a little sorrowly. He then gurgled as he nudged his head at her. "Haha, yeah yeah. We'll fly soon. Don't you worry." Dusty reassured him as she petted the side of his head.

"You Dusty! Hey where are you?!" A voice called out in the woods, Striker began to growl towards where the noise came from.
"OW YOU STEPPED ON MY FOOT!" A male voice shouted out, it was the twins.
"NOT MY FAULT! YOU WERE IN FRONT OF ME!" A feminine voice shouted back.
Dusty quickly turned to Striker. "Striker go! Get out of here!"
The skrill flapped his wings and flew up towards a tree and hides there but kept his eyes on his rider.
"There you are!" Tuffnut came out from a tree trunk, his sister was behind him with a glare in her eyes.
"Yeah! Come on we were gonna watch dragons setting stuff on fire!" Ruffnut told her excitedly.
Dusty's widened. "Dragons came to the village?!"
"Haha, no no. We're just gonna hang out on the roofs and see them burn when it turns night time!" Tuffnut answered as he shoved his face in front of Dusty with an exited face. Suddenly Ruffnut pushed Tuffnut violently and she was at Dusty's face, she was awaiting for an answer.
"Uhh.. sure! Let me just go find my axe." Dusty quickly turned over and walked off, she glanced up at Striker and clicked her tongue. Striker blinked and quietly went in the tree as he secretly followed her. Although a rustle came out from a tree and it caught the twins attention quickly.
"Whoa what was that?!" Both the twins shouted, they quickly ran up to Dusty and that attracted Striker attention. Striker quickly jumped from the tree and roared angrily at the twins.
"WHOA! DRAGON!" The wins screamed as they both fell over. Dusty was pushed back towards a tree by Strikers tail and was stuck there. Ruffnut then was able to get out her axe, Striker noticed and quickly slapped her away using his long tail.
"Ruffnut!" Dusty shouted in horror.

Striker then looked over at Tuffnut, who was still laying on the ground. As soon as he saw the dragon look at him he tried to crawl away but Striker rushed over to him and tackled him. Striker had his claw right on his chest and his snout right about 2 inches away from his face as he snarled loudly at him.
"Oh gods this is awesome and scary." Tuffnut whispered to himself as he saw the skrill right in front of him. Dusty stood there in horror, she couldn't do anything. She couldn't call him, she couldn't run over and push him away, she couldn't even click her fingers and tell him to fly off. All she could do is hope and pray that Striker would just roar and him and fly off, but something else happened. Strikers crown spikes suddenly shot up and his eyes turned from slits to thick curious eyes when he sniffed him.
Dusty narrowed her eyes towards the twins, getting their attention. "Nobody move a muscle. No sudden movements." She whispered at them. For the first time in years they actually did what someone told them to do and didn't move.

Striker did a gurgle-dragon-ish-like noise at Tuffnut. He tilted his head at him and blinked curiously, Tuffnut looked back not moving. The skrill then looked back at Dusty with a face saying "Is he okay? He as your scent.". Dusty gave him a look back saying "Yes he is. Get. Out. Now." Striker gave her a surprised look, he quickly let go of Tuffnut and flew off at high velocity and disappeared.

Both the twins were frozen in fear, both their faces were pale as a belly of a monstrous nightmare. Dusty on the other was gasping for air and she was filled with relief and she had a grimace grin stuck on her face. Dusty then started to laugh uncontrollably, there were tears in her eyes and her face was pure red from laughter.
"A-ha are you o-ka-ay, haha!" Dusty stuttered from her laughter. The twins didn't move but narrowed their eyes up at her.
"Is it gone?" They both said. Dusty nodded and helped them both up from their position.
"Let's go back to Berk, shall we?" Dusty chuckled as she had to carry both the twins since they were still paralysed.
"What about your axe?" Tuffnut asked her.
"Don't worry about it, lets get you both back home." Dusty stated to them and walked back to Berk still laughing a little.

When Dusty was able to carry the twins back home, they had to go to bed early from the dragon. Dusty decided to keep it a secret for now from their mom and the rest of the village.
A few days later, her and the twins have improved their friendship and were like a trio. Except that Dusty would be the one to hide the twins if they got in trouble and would even sometimes get the trouble for it (that was a rare occasion though).
