More Than Just A Bonny Face (Rewriting)

Dragon Nest

The woman leads us through a maze of rock caves and we struggle to keep up. Toothless, Gold-Heart, Smaug, Saphira and Venom follow from behind us.

"Hold on! Wait just a minute!" Hiccup shouts.

"This way." She smiles at me.

"Come back here!" Hiccup grabs my hand so I can keep up. Having metal legs makes me slow.

"Come." The woman glances at my legs.

"You can't just say something like that and run off! You're our mother?!" Hiccup looks at me in disbelief.

"Our?" I question. I guess she's my mother as well since I'm Hiccup's sister. Even though it is by adoption.

"I mean, what the- do you grasp how insane it sounds?!" Hiccup shakes his head.

"Come. Quickly!" Mum climbs up a rock.

"I have questions! Where have you been all this time?" Hiccup uses Toothless to climb up. He offers me his hand so I take it and he pulls me up. "What've you been doing?! They said you were dead! Everyone thinks you were eaten by..." We go through an opening, leading to the Dragon's Sanctuary.

"Dragons." We both look around us. Hordes of dragons of various species fly around us as we stare in awe. We both look up and sees Mum and the Stormcutter hanging on the cave roof.

"This is where you've been for twenty years?" Hiccup asks Mum and she nods.

"Not bad" I smile.

"You've been rescuing them." Hiccup seems to not believe any of this. Mum nods again, this time, smiling. "Unbelievable. "

"You're not upset?" Mum asks him.

"What? No. I don't know. It's a bit much to get my head around, to be frank. It's not every day you find out your mother is some kind of crazy, feral, vigilante dragon lady." Hiccup looks at me and I shrug.

"I was the same but a bit more dragon murderous," I say.

"At least I'm not boring... right?" Mum is lowered to the floor by the Stormcutter.

"I suppose there is that... one... specific... thing..." Hiccup looks at the dragon that's sniffing him.

"Do you like it?" Mum asks us.

Hiccup looks around us. "I don't have the words."

"I absolutely love it!" I squee.

"Who are you?" Mum asks me.

"I'm your daughter of adoption. I was adopted by Stoik when I was two. Drago Bludvist was my dad and he abused me to train dragons to the point where he injected dragon blood into me so one of his henchmen dropped me off at our front door." I explain. Mum pulls me into a hug. "O-okay. Hi. I'm Meribeth." I hug her back. Toothless is seen surrounded by curious dragons who playfully approach and sniff at him; frustrated, he scares them off. We laugh at him. Venom and Smauh start playing with some. Gold-Heart and Saphira inspect some.

"Can I...?" Mum looks at Hiccup who allows her to stroke Toothless. "He's beautiful!" Toothless starts nuzzling her. "Incredible! And he might very well be the last male of his kind." Toothless rolls over to his side. "And look, he's your age!"

"Wow." Me and Hiccup smile at each other.

"No wonder you get along so well." Mum laughs at him and Toothless retracts his teeth. "And retractable teeth! Ah!" She strokes his tongue.

"Show off." I smirk.

"Where's your dragon..." Mum tries to think of my name.
