My Heart of a Dragon || Hiccup x Dragon!Shifter Reader

Ten: He talks about me?

Rewritten 09-07-2021

I fly around the cave. Wondering what is in here. Many dragons follow me but I growl them off. My intention was to go to the back of the cage as fast as possible. The woman: whose name is Valka, told me I needed to look for a cave with a yellow patch above it. So I immediately went looking for it. Now I am realizing that task is a lot more difficult then I first imagined. The cave stretches miles to the back and my wings grow a bit tired. After what feels like hours I finally see the cave with the yellow patch above it.  I chuckle lightly and landed on grass. The dragons formed a crowd around me. I smiled and changed back. They all looked confused at me but I just chuckled.

"This is who I really am guys." I said and I laid down. Yes. This is who I really am. I wish I could show it to Hiccup. I feel sorry for him. He came looking for me. But I just ran away, afraid for the others who I didn't trust. I felt tears stinging in my eyes.

My parents abandoned me as a child when they first saw me change. They were afraid of me. I got angry and changed. And because they lived near Berk, they all heard rumors of the night furies, how they were dangerous and attacked everyone and everything. They abandoned me, or I abandoned them. They kicked me out, saying I was a mistake. I flew to the woods and that's were I met Rose. Speaking about Rose, why isn't she showing up? Well, good friends will come back. That is not the worst thing that's on my mind right now. What is bothering me is Hiccup. I really grew some feelings for him but I can't stop shoving him away. 

I shake my head. I think there are more important things then crushing on someone who already has a relationship. The cool grass rubs between my fingers and I close my eyes, sniffing the fresh air and the smell of cave. My thoughts are so far away that I did not notice the foot next to my hand. I look up, and there she is. Her beautiful ash blonde hair reaches over her shoulders. The scar she has makes her stand out. It's a large one, going from cheek to collarbone. Rose.

Without saying anything I stand up and hug her so tight I'm afraid I might kill her. She smells of grass and fresh fallen pine cones.

"(Name) I can't breathe." Rose mumbles, and I chuckle. I stumble back and smile at her, my hands wiping her hair out of her face. 

"I missed you so much, where have you been?" I ask her, probably looking both shocked and happy at the same time. She smiles and sits down on the grass. I join her, facing the great hollow of the cave. Dragons fly everywhere, their sounds echoing through the cave.

"After you where chased by that guy on his dragon-"

"Hiccup" I interrupt her.

"Sorry?"

"Hiccup."

"Gesundheit." She says confused. I snort and fall back in the grass.

"No, that is his name!" I say and Rose forms her mouth in an O shape. We both look at each other and erupt in laughter.

"Well after Hiccup started to chase you, I flew the other way around. I panicked and I'm so sorry I left you. I flew past Berk a couple of times to see if you where captured but I could not find you anywhere. After that I just waited for you in our hiding spot. That's where Valka found me." I smile and look her in her green eyes.

"It's all okay, you did what you could do and I'm just happy you're safe!" I say and I hug her again. She hugs me back, even tighter then I hugged her a few minutes ago.

"It's so pretty around here (Name). I feel so free around here. I can be who I want to be, human or dragon. I found out what kind of dragon I am! Valka told me." Her voice goes up a few octaves as she says that. I smile at her.

"That is fantastic! What is it?" I ask her.

"I am a Changewing. When I'm fully trained I am one of the deadliest. I can camouflage and blend in with almost everything, and my color changes a bit when I'm mad or sad. But that's only my tail." She says while smiling.

"I am so happy that you finally found out who you are! And you are even cooler now!" I chuckle. And she has the capability to kill me whenever she wants, great.

"Thanks (Name)." She giggles. A small roar sounds and she looks over her shoulder. "I'm sorry I have to go, I'm taking care of wounded dragons. I'll show you another day. I created a small dragon hospital." She says proud as she stands straight. I stand up next to her, having to look up to look her in the eyes. She pulls me in yet another hug.

"I'm gonna miss you Rose. I'll be back soon."  I say. I can feel her sigh and swallow a lump in her throat. This reminds me of before. Back when we were younger.

"I'm going to miss you too (Name). Thank you for being my friend." I smile and nod. She lets go of me and starts to walk towards an archway. I wave at her and send her a blow kiss, which she returns to me.

I turn around and sigh. That felt like home. I change back into my dragon form Kathe. Hiding behind the mask of a dragon, perfect. I fly off, heading towards where I came from, deep in my thoughts.

I land on a patch of grass, Hiccup turning around to face me.

"Ah Kathe! Did you enjoy it here?" Hiccup asks and he pets my head. I nod and look at him, then past him to Valka. I nod a small thank you to her and she returns my nod.

"Hiccup?" She starts. Hiccup looks at her.

"Do you mind if I take Kathe for some research?" Valka asks. Hiccup nods slowly.

"Uhm yes, but don't hurt her though, she isn't mine." Hiccup says. Valka nods and I follow her into the dark cave that's behind Hiccup. I look at him, giving him a reassuring nod. The whole time, she kept her mouth shut. I feel myself getting nervous. Is she angry at me? We enter a large bright room. The sun shines through a hole, lighting up an almost perfect circle in the middle. The stops and turns to me.

"Change." She says, stone cold. I look her her as if I'm dumb and take a step back, a shiver rolling up my spine. Her face relaxes  and she chuckles, taking a step towards me, reaching out her hand.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." She says. I nod, take a deep breath and change myself into my human form. I look to the ground waiting for her to be mad. Instead she gasps and pulls me into a hug.

"This is amazing! For how long are you able to do this?" Valka asks. I look up and face a wide eyed Valka. I smile.

"My entire life." I say, explaining the moment I knew I could change, and the moment my parents found out. And the moment I left my home. I left out my knowledge of Rose, or possible other changers.

"What is your name?" She asks, walking in circles around me.

"(Name)." I say. Valka stops walking and smiles so bright that it almost creates another patch of light

"You're the girl Hiccup told me about." She says. I look dumbfounded.

"Hiccup talks about me?"I say, shocked.

"And how! He couldn't stop talking about how amazing you are! He told me the transform thing to, but don't be mad at him, he was with his heads in the clouds so he probably forgot to remember that changing into a dragon is not something you see every day." She says and I laugh. I wasn't mad at Hiccup. How could I?

"But he also told me how he misses you, (Name). Does he know you are here?" Valka asks. I shake my head and look to my shoes.

"He'll probably hate me if he knew I am Kathe. He thinks there are three night furies." I say. Valka huffs.

"He won't hate you. You know what he said back there?'' I shake my head, what could he possibly say about me?

''Mom, did you ever had that feeling that you looked at someone, and immediately fell in love with that someone? I think that happened to me. I think I care for (Name), even though we met a couple weeks ago'. That is what Hiccup says." Valka said. I look at her with wide eyes. Did he really say that about me?
