New Family (a Httyd/Rtte Fanfic)

Raid

"Man the catapults. Get the bolas. Dragon attack."

Just another day on the island Estwin. A young girl woke from her bed slowly getting up.

Until it hit her.

Dragon attack. Again.

Just another day of embarrassing failure.

Long brown hair tumbled down her back as pale hands rubbed the sleep out of grey-blue eyes. The young girl yawned and grabbed a bow and quiver full of arrows.

"Good morning, Estwin." she said, as she got up. Tying a bright red sash around her waist finished the look of her forest green shirt, dark purple leggings and high knee boots.

A loud bang and the roar of a dragon got her alert and worried.

"Oh great!" she groaned. Quickly grabbing a knife, a few pouches and stuffing them into her sash and boot, she vaulted out her window.

Just in time.

The hut which she was in exploded and debris flew everywhere. The shock vibrated through her body as she made impact with the ground. Determination and terror filled her body as she took off across the grass. She couldn't, and she wouldn't mess up this time. Shouts filled the night, and they got louder as she went deeper into the village. Dragons were flying all over the place and the vikings were running everywhere.

She looked around hoping that the one person she did not want to see was not near.

Luckily, he wasn't.

A large Monstrous Nightmare landed on the roof of a hut not far from her. She swung her bow off her shoulders, grabbed an arrow and lined it up with the dragon. She didn't want to kill it, only take it out.

One, two th... she counted but on the last count, someone shoved her and the arrow flew off missing the dragon by a mile.

"Oi!" she yelled at the sudden interrupter.

"You just messed up my sh-" she turned around and a boy with messy blond hair was glaring at her. His golden brown eyes were filled with annoyance.

The girl swallowed.

"Hey Arctic what's-"

"Hina. What do you think you're doing out here?"

The girl - Hina - cringed and turned around. A man came walking towards her with a scowl on his face.

"I told you, stay inside. Ryker just told me that you didn't show up at the forge. Alas, here you are messing everything up."

Hina glanced at Arctic but he was gone.

"Sorry. Dad." she told him. "Um, I'll get going then."

The man turned around and left.

Great.

Another chance to prove herself had failed. With a sigh she ran to the forge where a large muscular man was sharpening his sword.

"Morning!" she cried, earning herself a flick to the head.

"Where were ya?" he asked her gruffly. "I had to man this place when they could use me outside."

True, they could use him, but Hina was pretty sure Ryker just wanted to kill.

"No worries! I'm here now." she opened the window and was immediately hit with a heavy armload of weapons.

"To be honest I actually thought you were carried away." he said looking at her. "Unfortunately, you're still here."

"Well, lucky me." Hina shot back sarcastically. "I really enjoy living with you guys." She crossed her arms with a glare.

Ryker sighed. "You really have got to stop going out there, or you'll get yourself killed."

"But I can handle it!" she moaned. "Look, I'll just take my arrows and bow and kill a dragon."

She swung her bow on her shoulder and cringed as it knocked down some swords and daggers off the wall.

Now, the forge man looked like he was a mad man.

" Listen here young lady!" he scolded her menacingly. "You have to stop being... this." He gestured to all of her. Hina looked at him disbelievingly.

"You just told me to stop being myself."

"Yeah, exactly!" he told her "Finally you understand."

Ryker picked up his swords and looked at Hina.

"Now don't get in trouble and don't get in the way."

With that he ran out into the battlefield.

Hina stared after him, with a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"Hey, where do you think you're going!" A man yelled after Hina.

The moment Ryker left, the young girl took her chance.

"Sorry! Be right back!"

She ran and ran till she reached a deserted part of the village. Fires raged on the huts roofs and wagons were ablaze.

Hina nocked an arrow into her bow, and waited. Not a sound then suddenly, the familiar ring of a plasma blast about to be shot reached her ears.

The Night Fury.

Her heart thumped loudly and she was sure the beast would hear her but still. Shooting down this dragon would change her life forever. It was believed by even her tribe that the Night Fury was extinct and only Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III had one. Until this one showed up!

The sound got louder and Hina raised her bow, taking a deep breath in preparation. This shot was going to be the hardest one she has attempted to shoot. She had great aim and an incredible eye, but her full concentration was absolutely necessary.

BANG!

A plasma blast sounded out with the purple light. Immediately, the young woman let the arrow go. A dragon screeched and fell away towards the center of the island.

A pause.

Then Hina threw her hands into the air.

"Yes! I hit it! I finally did it! Yes!"

A loud crashing sound wiped the smile off her face. Turning around Hina came face to face with the monstrous nightmare she wanted to hit earlier.

"You have got to be kidding me" she groaned, dropping her hands down.

Then she ran.

The dragon ran after her.

"Why does this happen every time i do something right"

She kept ahead of the dragon by only a few feet but by the time she reached the stadium her side had a stitch and she could barely breathe. The nightmare leaped on top of her and locked her under its claws. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw her father and Ryker watching.

A hissing noise brought her back to the situation. The dragon was getting ready to burn her to a crisp. She closed her eyes expecting pain but suddenly, the weight of the claws left her body and she gasped for air. Her father had taken the dragon one on one and now had the dragon fleeing for its life.

But it was on fire.

And it was heading right to the food store. As it flew by the entire thing caught on fire.

There was silence.

Then her father looked at her, disappointment in his eyes. Turning to Ryker instead of her he ordered. "Take her away to her usual place."

Ryker placed her on her feet and pushed her forward towards the prison cells where whenever she messed up, (which was everyday) she would spend the morning in a cell. She looked at her father one more time. He simply glanced at her before turning away.

"And make sure she doesn't escape this time."

Her uncle smirked at her father.

"Whatever you say Viggo."
