"As Fast As A Lightning Bolt" Httyd OC Fanfiction

The Night Fury (Chapter 7)

Footsteps were heard along the woods beside beside Berk, along with big thumps behind the smaller footsteps. Dusty and Striker were on a walk in the woods, they if course tried their best to keep away from the village and keep an eye for other Vikings. The duo were currently trying to see the Night Fury that Hiccup has trained.
"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Dusty asked her dragon, who was now in front of her. Striker growled a little as if he felt untrusted by his trainer. "Okay okay, jeez sorry."
Striker kept sniffing the ground and walked on his fours as Dusty followed close behind. She looked sound warily, she was afraid that some viking will see them. Striker suddenly stopped and his spikes were thrown up high as he looked fowards.
"You found it?" Dusty whispered to him. Striker ignored her and instead sprinted into the bushes where he presumed was the Cove. Dusty yelped as she quickly followed him, when she passed the branches and bushes she met up with him only to nearly fall all the way down in the cove. She fell on a rock near the wall of the cove and Striker was just right above her on the edge, he whimpered in surprise and asked if she was okay.
"I'm good, don't worry. Look there he is!" Dusty pointed at the dark figure resting beside the small lake. Striker growled lowly as he followed Dusty down. The brown-haired viking slowly and carefully climbed down the rocks, she then finally landed down in the cove. She was a few feet away from the night fury, Striker suddenly started to walk down towards him but Dusty moved up her hand towards him.
"No don't, let me take this. Come if needed okay?" Dusty petted Strikers snout reassuringly, Striker gave him a sorrow look and gurgled a little. He then nodded his head and walked back up and hides behind a rock having his eyes towards the dark dragon.

Dusty then moved fowards a little more, she was now about 6 or 5 feet away from the dragon. Dusty took a glance at the saddle that Hiccup has given him, she then noticed that it went all the way to the tail and the other side of it was brown.
"Whoa, he actually helped you." Dusty told herself, she then took a step back, she bent down and clicked her fingers towards the Night Fury. The dragon immediately got up and saw Dusty, he took a step back and began to snarl nastily at her, his eyes were slits and his teeth were showing. Dusty didn't do anything, she only stared at the dragon in fascination and smiled at him.
"Woah.. You're so cool looking." Dusty whispered as she looked at him head to tail. Toothless kept growling at her, Dusty chuckled and tilted her head at him. Toothless' ear plates raise up in curiosity but his eyes were still cautious and wary of her. Dusty then took out a small fish from her jacket and showed it to him, the dragon did a gurgle noise and moved fowards very slowly. Dusty quickly threw the fish at him sad he caught it sad ate it quickly, he then licked his lips and shook his head.

Hiccup was walking with a huge fish basked on his back, he walked towards the cove and there he saw a brown haired viking looking at Toothless. Hiccup quickly dropped the fish basket and sprinted down to his dragon.

Dusty noticed Hiccup as she heard his footsteps coming down in the cove.
"Striker!" Dusty shouted, Striker roared and quickly jumped down beside Dusty. Toothless jumped back and snarled at Striker and he snarled back at him. Hiccup quickly ran down beside Toothless and held his head tightly trying to push him back. He then looked over at the dragon that came out of nowhere and it was a Skrill! He was terrified but he kept on trying to push Toothless away.
"Whoa easy there!" Dusty shouted at the young viking. Hiccup turned over and saw Dusty, his eyes widened and he turned to look at her.
"Dusty?!" He screamed in disbelief, Dusty had her hands on Striker trying to keep him calm and reassured.
"Heyo Hiccup!" She laughed as she smiled widely at him. "It's alright Striker, calm down."
Striker narrowed his eyes at Toothless, he then gurgled and lifted his head calmly and looked at Toothless with gentle eyes.
"Wait wait. Striker?! What- wai- WHAT?!" He screamed in disbelief a she stared at the two. Dusty laughed out loud and nearly fell over.
"Haha! Sit down Hiccup, we have a lot to talk about, haha." She rubbed her eye and sat down on the ground, Hiccup gave her a werid look but sat down anyway.

Dusty then explained to him what was her real story and how she met Striker and befriended him. She even told him how she was able to fly on him and came to Berk. Hiccup was in total disbelief but tried to remain calm.
"Okay, one question; How did you know?" He asked as he cleared his throat.
Dusty chuckled. "Heard that Gobber told me that he knew that you would leave every time you finished dragon ki-" she quickly stopped and her eyes widened in terror.
"Oh, yeah yeah." He waved his hand. "I- I just don't." He couldn't find the right words.
Dusty waves her hand reassuringly. "It's okay, I wouldn't even know what to ask myself as well." She laughed again and smiled at him. "So how did you meet him?"
Hiccup looked up at Toothless and sighed. "Well let's just say, I actually shot him down and torn one of his tail over there." He pointed at Toothless tail. Dusty nodded and stayed quiet and let him talked. "After that I found him again, he was in the woods and he was still trapped there in the net. I set him free but he didn't kill me. But Gobber said that dragons always-"
"How for the kill, I know. He told me." Dusty cut him off raising her hand.
"But why didn't he just kill me then?" Hiccup asked a she scratched his dragons chin. Dusty tilted her head and thought for a second, she then remembered about Striker. She looked up at him and he gurgled at her.
"Well.. when I got Striker out from that ice, I actually thought he would kill me! Haha.." she paused. "But instead, he bowed to me and flew off, it's like he knew that I have saved him. Toothless might have seen something in you and decided not to kill you because you helped him." Dusty continued as she pointed at Toothless. Hiccup looked up at Toothless, his dragon looked down at him as his ear plates twitched in curiosity.
"R--really?" He asked her a little unsure.
"Well, if I'm wrong. Why didn't he kill you on the spot?"
"Yeah you're right. You have a point..."
Dusty shrugged and chuckled a little. Hiccup finally calmed down and got up from his position, he stared at Dusty, catching her attention.
"Yeah what is it?" She asked him raising her eyebrow.
"Please, don't tell anyone about this, they'll kill Toothless! And your uh.." Hiccup pointed at the skrill.
"Striker, that's his name." Dusty told him.
"Fitting. Since he's a Strike class." Hiccup replied. Dusty gave him a confused look.
"Striker class? You mean that's from your book of dragons?" Dusty theorised.
Hiccup nodded and smiled. "Yeah, maybe you'd like to read it. It might tell a lot about the skrill."
"Ooh cool. I'll check it out soon!" Dusty smiled. "Oh! Wait I forgot! I have bad news for ya."
Hiccup gave a weird look. "What's up?"
"If your going to win the-.. you know. Well you're going to have to.." she leaned in a whispered. "Kill a dragon."

Hiccup's eyes widened as he remembered. "Oh Gods... I forgot. But I can't stop though." Hiccup whispered.
"Why?"
"Because, my dad wi-"
"Okay, okay I got it.."
Dusty sighed in frustration and scratched her forehead. Hiccup sighed as well and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about it for now. I have to worry about my dragon first." Hiccup said turning over to Toothless and petted him.
"Yeah, I could say the same." Dusty chuckled and looked over a her skrill. "We'd better go. I have to meet the twins and see how they are." She mounted her dragon.
"Wait, why?" He asked her as she walked off.
"Let's just say they got a bit of a fright from Striker!" Dusty laughed as she flew off.
"THEY SAW STRIKER?" Hiccup yelled in disbelief.
"DON'T WORRY THEY DON'T KNOW!" She yelled back as she flew off on her dragon. Toothless looked up at Striker and looked back at Hiccup with a gurgle.
"What?" Hiccup asked him, Toothless gurgled as he tried to smile up at him. "Oh you like Striker. I'm sure you two will talk again. Alright bud, I'll go get your fish basket and I have to go okay?" He said as he walked up.
