Chapter Five

~~~Dragon Rider~~~

×It had been another two weeks before I was finally let out. Drago had sent one of his minions as I call them to get me. I pulled my bag over my shoulders after letting Curious hop in. She was getting bigger by the day.

Slowly I made my way up out of the open hatch. The sun burned against my pale skin. I paused a moment to enjoy it. People rushed around busy. The man who had been sent to get me shoved me forward causing Curious to growl in my bag. His name was Dirt.

The ships traveled in a cluster all around each other. The one I was in was the leader. There were dragons on some most tied down. It was slightly cold I crossed my arms over my chest. I was currently wearing a long sleeve red shirt and black pants.

My hair fell around me in knotted curls it look the same as it always did. I wasn't sure exactly why they had let me out and I feared it was to kill me. Dirt left me standing near the edge of the boat. I leaned over slightly looking at the muggy water.

I lightly tapped my fur boot against the side of the boat. I could feel Curious as she climbed out of my bag onto my shoulder.  She used my hair to hide her from everyone she didn't like any of them. That was one of the things we had in common.

"Look," I whispered to her pointing off into the distance a patch of green was not to far, "Land."

A gushed of wind blow making me shiver. I took in a deep breath of the salty sea air. A sigh escaped my lips and I closed my eyes. Trapped so trapped. The sound of footsteps brought me back to my surroundings.

I turned around Curious crawled back into my bag when she saw him. Drago. He stood there with his same cold expression. I didn't meet his eyes I knew better. Instead I stared at his shoulder. My hands at my side I clinched them into fist.

"I have changed my mind," he started.

I felt sick thats it hes going to kill me. Im gonna die. I wanted to cry but refused he won't see my tears be brave Dragonfly be brave.

"You will not be training your dragon under my supervisor, " shock filled me.

"Wait what?" he narrowed his eyes.

Oops...Forgot only he asked the question.  I closed my eyes waiting for the blow but it didn't come, When I opened them I found a boy he had blonde hair and gray eyes. A scar ran across his lips he was no more than seventeen or so.

He had came up standing between me and Drago, "I need to talk to you!" He said.

Drago seemed to forget about what I had did and looked at the boy. I sighed in relief the boy had distracted him and stopped Drago from hitting me.

"What?" Drago hissed.

"Um about flying yeah flying I was making sure it was okay if I went for a fly to the island to get a first look," What he said was sort of a question yet it didn't anger Drago like my question.

"Yes but first I want to introduce you, " he looked at me turning the boy to face me, "This will be your new supervisor he will report your progress and the dragon."

I nodded not looking into either of there eyes I could feel Curious moving around in my bag. The boy looked at me he didn't smile but I expected that. The boy then started to speak to Drago ignoring my existence. 

I recognized his voice as the new dragon rider whos name I still hadn't found out. Slowly I turned away my gaze falling back to the island we were heading towards. I wondered if it was abandoned? Or undiscovered? I could add it to my fathers map.

In fact when...if I ever see him again I could show him it. The though of my father brought tears to my eyes. Be strong Dragonfly I told myself. A single tear ran down my cheek. I could hear Drago walk away.

Once I was sure he was gone, I through a glance to the dragon rider who stood by me."Thank you," I whispered, "For stopping him."

He narrowed his eyes, "Don't get used to it I only stopped him, because I don't believe in laying a hand on a girl," I looked at him with the slightest respected.

"Im Dragonfly," I say.

He chuckled, "I don't care, your named after a bug easily squashed,"

I glared, "So, I'm sure yer name isn't any better."

"No it isn't," he smirked, "Ashland Burn Firestone the first."

"Well Ashland Burn Firestone the first," I held up a hand, "Dragonfly Fate Haddock the one and only, and I've heard worse."

He didn't shake my hand but a smile tugged on his lips. He looked out to the lsland we were heading to his dragon came up beside him it was a Monstrous Nightmare a boy obviously. It glared at me and growled.

Ash looked at his dragon petting it, "Dragons don't like you must do they?"I nodded slightly, "Well I wish you luck on dragon training, chances are the dragon will kill you before Drago does."

He was wrong Curious was different, "My dragon likes me, what I really have to look out for is other dragons like yours."

"Demon? Hes harmless he might dislike you but won't harm you, " he then smirked, "Unless I tell him to."

I shivered slightly I wasn't exactly sure if he was serious. Curious must have sensed my fear because she let out a warning growl. Ash looked at me then at my bag.

"So thats were your dragons been hiding?"

"Yah shes a shy one but interested in everything would you like to meet her?" I asked.

He raised a eyebrow, "Sure might as well."

"Okay come out girl," I said.

She let out a sighing/growling noice before climbing out my bag and on to my shoulder, I moved my hair away. Ashland looked surprised, "A nightfury? I thought there was only one left and it was in Berk?"

"Yeah my father owns a nightfury Toothless they believed he was the last, I found a egg and it hatched a while after I was kidnapped, turned out to be her," I explained,  "This is Curious, Curious this is Ashland."

The dragon moved forward looking at the rider before growling and climbing up on top my head trying to get a better look at the land ahead, "Ive never seen a baby dragon so calm or behaved? She seems fairly attached to you."

I nodded, "Yeah, I guess but don't let her actions now full you, shes a handful."

His eyes sparked a bit, "That will never change."

"I won't want it to," I smiled.

"Well Bug I have to go," he tells me.

"Bug?" I repeated.

"Yah suits you," with that he left.

I looked back at the island I took one long breath of sea air. Enjoying the last bit of sun before I was lead back under the deck. That night I sighing I layed down Curious curling up against me. "Goodnight Curious," I whispered then silently add although I knew they couldn't hear me, "Goodnight Mum, dad, Maria, Henry....goodnight Ashland."
