Dragons- Daughter of the Demon! Book 2! ✔

CHAPTER 16- LOOKS LIKE THIS IDIOT SCREWED IT ALL UP!

(TOOTHLESS'S POV)

     I watched her fly away.  I opened my mouth, about to call after her but decided to give her space.  I'm sorry.  I'll never give up on you.  No matter how long I have to wait.  Maybe someday I'll finally win you over.

     "You'll never get her, y'know."  Smirked Esmer.

     "Whatever Esmer."  I growled and started to walk away.

     "She's mine.  I'll own her soon."  He smiled.

     "What?"  I swiftly turned my head.

     "You heard me.  She's mine.  So back off."

     "I will never 'back off'"  I growled as I walked back over to him. 

     "She doesn't even like you!  And why would she?  Your just a pet.  She needs someone to take care of her.  Someone strong enough to protect her." He raised his head.  "Someone like me."

     I leaped at him.  "I challenge you to a fight.  Winner gets Whisper!"  I roared.

     "Your on!"  He hissed back.

     He used his large back paws to throw me off.  I landed on my back but quickly twisted around stood up.  We circled each other as a small crowd started to grow around us.  He lunged forward with his mouth wide open and aimed at my throat.  I stood on my two back legs and swatted at his face when he was close enough.  He hissed and spit at me.  I did the same.  I leaped at him again but he shot me with a plasma blast.  I fell to the ground.  I felt hurt, in more ways then one.

     Whisper doesn't even like me, why an I doing this?  Everyone here hates me.  I just don't wanna get back up.

     "You can do it Toothless!  I know your better then that jerk!"  It was Whisper's voice I heard.

     I was wrong.  not everyone hates me.  Maybe Whisper likes me in the same way I like her.

     I got up and felt stronger with her confidence in me.  I gave her a quick smile then looked at Esmer.  I growled at him before leaping once again.  He was surprised that I managed to seem so strong after his blow.  So I caught him by surprise and started hitting him viciously with my paws and biting his shoulder until he fell to the ground.  I glared at him with more anger then I ever felt before.

     "I win, Esmer!  Whisper is mine!  And I will protect her.  So back off!"  I roared at his face.

     I got off him and confidently walked through the crowd over to a furious looking Whisper.  

     I tilted my head in confusion.  "What's the matter?"  

     "I am not some prize to be won!  I don't need anyone to 'protect' me.  Because, in case you've forgotten, I lived on my own since I was a fledgling!  I am not anyone's."  She glared at me before flying away.

     "Whisper, wait!  I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that!  I know your strong.  Just please come back!"  I pleaded as she flew away.

     I was about to fly after her but Meelo stopped me.  

    "I'll talk to her, you've done enough!"  She hissed.

     "But, I-"  I sighed as they both flew away.

     Looks like this idiot screwed it all up.  I wasn't talking about Esmer, I was talking about me.  What do I do now?

     I was left alone as Esmeraldo and the rest of the Night Furys left.

(MEELO'S POV)

     I followed Whisper all the way to the coast.  We landed on the soft, golden sand.

     "I-I thought he actually liked me.  I can't believe I let myself get fooled."  She was sobbing.

     "I don't think he meant to hurt you."  I rubbed my muzzle on the side of her face.  I sighed before beginning my speech.  "Look, males can be, well really dumb sometimes."  (I promise I'm not at all trying to insult anyone out there!)  "And Toothless, well he was the perfect example of that just now.  But I truly believe that he only acted that way because... he loves you.  And Love can make you do some really stupid things sometimes!  You should go back to him.  He'll probably be waiting for you."

     She looked up at me.  "You really think so?"  

     "I know so."  I smiled.

     She smiled back but then lay on warm sand.  

     "Tomorrow."  She said.

     "Okay, I'll be with you the whole time."  I promised.

     "No.  I need to do this by myself."  She said as she closed her eyes.

     "You really have grown up from the scared, shy, little hatchling you once were."  I lay down next to her.

     "I love you, Meelo."

     "I love you too, Whisper."

(ASTRID'S POV)

     I woke up to a horn sounding from the village.  I jumped up, grabbed my ax and raced down the stairs.  I burst through the door with Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Snotlout, Gustav, and Hiccup right behind me.

     There, in the center of the village, stood Ryker with a horn in his hand.  He was on top a large hut, waiting for us.  We all got on our dragons, except Hiccup, he got on Stormfly with me.  We flew over to Ryker.

     "Ah, glad your awake."  He smiled.

     I readied a fire blast, as did everyone else.  

     "I wouldn't do that if you ever want to see Elanor alive again."  He chuckled.

     I swung my head around wildly and realized that Elanor wasn't anywhere to be seen.

     "What have you done with her!?"  I yelled at him furiously.  

     "Don't worry, she's safely locked up somewhere you'll never find her."  He said.  "The only way to save her is to give yourselves up."  

     "You wouldn't let her live even if we gave ourselves up!"  Yelled Hiccup.

     "Your right, I wouldn't.  But I will kill him if you don't surrender."  A guard burst out with a young boy and threw him at Ryker's feet.  

     I know him!  Elanor told me about him, she isn't a fan.  She said she calls him, Ass-laug.  

     His father was being restrained by two other guards as Ryker lifted the boy by one arm.  

     "So, what do you say?"  He held his sword up to the boys throat.

     Done again!  Whew, I had to make this chapter in a single day without any breaks to make the deadline.  And I'm a slow typer so it took forever!  But, I'm glad it's finally done, hope you guys are too!  See ya later, alligator!                Word  Count:  1068!
