Her Wolf ~Book 1~ [Hiccelsa]

11. Guard-Dog

Rapunzel and I were with Merida. We were heading home from a shopping trip. It was 10:34 pm. I would be with Hiccup, but he was on his night patrol. Hiccup's secret was the new secret I swore to keep I don't want anyone to find out he's a wolf. 

Rapunzel was laughing, while Merida made a joke. "You should've seen the lady's face." Merida laughed.

I followed, carting around everyone's bags. And by everyone- I mean all of Rapunzel's bags. "She looked totally shocked," Rapunzel said to us. We walk past the forest where the wolf territory was. "Elsa?"

I look at them as my name got called. "What?"

"You keep staring at the woods. What's in there that you're curious about?" Merida asked.

"I don't know."

We walk more. "So?" Rap started. "How's it going with you and Hiccup?"

"He's different. He's not how everyone sees him. He does have another side." I say.

"Like what? The Edgy Emo side, of every teenager?" Rapunzel asked me. With how long Hiccup has been on this earth, I doubt he even knows what Emo is.  "So, you like him?" Merida asked.

I felt my cheeks heat up from embarrassment. "Yeah. Kinda."

Rapunzel shoved me playfully. "No way!" I back into a tree, as she shoved me. My yelp of pain was answered with a growl from the woods. Rap's looked at me. "What was that?"

"An animal, duh." Merida hissed.

I look into the trees, noticing a dark shadow moving around in there. Looking around, I suddenly realized we were by the boarding house. Shit. This is Hiccup's forest! "Uh. We should go." I say trying to push them away. Punz screams, jumping backward. I look to see a wolf run towards us, using rocks and trees to jump on. "Oh, man!" I started feebly.

"Get down! Run! Run!" Merida runs. She pulled her arrow out of her bag, ready to take it on. I forgot that she was a professional archer.

"No!" I knock Merida's aimed arrow to the ground, out of reach, then stop The wolf short of attacking them. It snarled, baring its teeth. "No. It's okay! It's okay..." He pulls up short and lands hard, spraying us with sand. "They're my friends," I claimed.

I realize it was Hiccup. He's only trying to protect me! Why? He growled in disagreement, and though he wasn't speaking English, I could understand his growling. He doesn't understand. He saw the weapon and Immediately went for the kill. The two are frozen. Hiccup looks from me to them and back to them, confused.

Merida and Rapunzel look like there were about to scream. Rapunzel more than Merida. I make a slow quiet motion, so he wasn't encouraged to attack. "Who is that?!" Merida asked in an intense whisper.

"Uh. Remember Hiccup." I started. They nodded. "I did say there was something strange about him." I start. "Something no other person can do," I add.

"What are you saying?" Punz asked.

I look to Hiccup. His gaze was still narrowed on the girls. He then looked to me, as if he were allowing me to tell them. "This is Hiccup." The girls back away, eyeing Hiccup and myself. 

"Hiccup's not that wolf." Merida hissed. "You're bluffing!"

"Yes, it is," I say, feeling desperate. 

"Prove it." Rap added.

I look at the dog next to me. "Hiccup?" 

He only snarled. Turns out he doesn't like them. Although, in wolf form, he seemed to roll his eyes at the girls.  He suddenly blurred, taking human form. "How's that for proof?" He asked leaning against a tree. The girls stared in shock. They went to scream when Hiccup stepped forward into the light, eyeing both the girls. "You will shut your mouths, and not speak of this to anyone." He whispered quietly. They repeated what he said, then snapped back to reality.

He came back to me in a quick motion. "What did you do?" I ask. "You compelled them?" I answer my own question with a question.

"What?" Hiccup asked. "Oh yeah, Supernatural can compel humans to do what they say. I compelled them to keep a secret." He said.

I look at him. "What if they wore silver?" I ask.

"I wouldn't be able to get into their minds. I can't read their minds." He said.

"But you can't read mine either. I don't wear silver." I say.

"I don't know what you have." He sighed then looked to the girls.

Merida still stared at him. "You're... Really a werewolf." She stuttered.

Hiccup shrugged. "I have been since birth, really..."

Merida tilted her head. "But I thought Werewolves were bor--"

"Yes, Werewolves are born whenever a Human has ingested a wolves blood." Hiccup cut her off. He then sighed. "Werewolves can also be born naturally from at least one Werewolf parent. My mother was a werewolf."

"That's amazing." Merida smiled when Punz suddenly gasped. 

"Jack!"

I look at him. "What about him?"

"He's been searching for Werewolves since his parents died. If Hiccup gets discovered, Jack will kill him." Hiccup narrowed his eyes at the mention of this boy. Jack is Rapunzel's ex-boyfriend. She dumped him because of his obsession with wolves. Turns out he has a wolf, to go after.
