Chapter Three, Waking up

Elivra groaned as she started to come around. Opening her eyes she flinched and quickly shut her eyes tightly as the bright lights aggravated them. "It's alright Liv. I'm here." A voice said soothingly to her. Slowly this time Elivra opened her eyes so they adjusted to the light and so she could adjust to the rush of memories that she suddenly got as her mind remembered all that had happened in the last few days before she lost consciousness. "Daddy!" Elivra whimpered at the pain in her head and in confusion for how they'd ended up in this strange place.

"It's alright Puppy," Sirius soothed running his hand through her long red silky, curly hair. "Here drink this." Sirius said handing her a pain reliever potion and helping her to sit up slightly so she could drink it. Once she'd drunk the potion Sirius looked around to see if Rose was anywhere near, though he added a Silencing Charm as a precaution, before he told her everything that had happened after she'd blacked out and what he'd told the people here in a whisper. "Puppy you need to stick with what I've told you as the others may turn on us, though it is sort of the truth and this may be the fresh start that we needed." Sirius said kissing his daughters forehead, once she had agreed he quickly took down the Charm.

"Promise me you'll never worry me like that again. And if you ever have a fit again I want you to tell me straight away. Understand?"
"Okay dad I promise." Elivra said as she leaned forward to the edge of her bed so she could hug her father, wincing slightly as her sore muscles protested. "Ahh! I see you're awake then." A rough woman's voice called from the other side of the room. "Your father has been exceedingly worried for you young lady. He's barely left your side and the times that he did was only because of an order from the Chief." The woman tutted, disapproval clear in her voice and Elivra knew instantly that she was the healer of this village, she had the same vibe as Madam Pomfrey and Madam Rozabella, the healer on the dragon reserve in Romania.

"My name is Rose and I've been taking care of you since you and your father arrived here three days ago." The woman Elivra now knew to be Rose introduced. "Now I want you to eat something and I might let you go after that. But I want you to promise me that you won't do anything strenuous for the next couple of days and I want you to take it easy so we can see exactly what is causing the fits.

I know you will do what I ask otherwise your father and Chief Stoick will let me know as you're staying with Stoick and his son, my nephew Hiccup, for awhile whilst your house is built." Rose ordered, handing over a tray with a steamed cod, some baby potatoes and veg and a tankard of water. "I want you to eat as much as you can." She said before walking away.

"This is your room," Stoick said as he opened the door and stepped back so Elivra could see into her room. "Your father's room is next door to you with Hiccup's a few doors down and mine down the hall. I know it's not much; but I hope you like it." Stoick said unsurely.
"I love it. Thank you Stoick." Elivra said, throwing her arms around the sometimes gruff man. Stoick awkwardly patted her on the head.
"It's fine. Dinner will be ready at seven in the Great Hall. Hiccup will show you and Sirius there. Right I'll... just let you settle in then." Stoick said awkwardly before leaving the room.
Shaking her head smiling slightly Elivra unshrunk her beaded bag, placing it on the bed as she began to unpack all of her things that she had been able to grab before they escaped.

"Puppy I'm gonna go work with Gobber in his shop." Sirius told his daughter as he kissed her forehead. "I should be back just before dinner, but while I'm out I don't want you to do anything strenuous okay. You can go out but I don't want you to exert yourself." Sirius said sternly.
"I promise dad." Elivra promised as she waved to her dad as he left the house. After she'd shut the door she walked back over to where she'd left her book and settled into a chair to continue reading her favourite book.

Elivra sighed for what felt like the hundredth time as she wondered around the house looking for something to do as she had finished her book half an hour ago, though she was quickly coming to the conclusion that there was nothing else she could do in the house as she'd cleaned it from top to bottom literally. Sighing she left the house to see what else she could do.

As she wondered around the Plaza she noticed Hiccup and Toothless walking through the village and heading in the direction of the Training Academy, that Stoick had told her and her dad about yesterday. Elivra smirked slightly as she snuck along after them deciding that whatever they were doing would be much more interesting in whatever one of the older Vikings would have had her doing if she'd continued to linger aimlessly around the Plaza.

"Shh Toothless. Don't tell Hiccup." Elivra whispered with her right pointer finger against her lips when the dragon looked behind and saw her sneaking along behind them. Making a huffing sound Toothless turned back around and ran to catch up with Hiccup. Elivra smiled happily to herself as she continued sneaking behind them as she stuck to the shadows which helped that it was turning rather cloudy. She knew she shouldn't be out and about just yet but she was bored and curious about the village she found herself in, but Elivra would soon find out that those two things never mixed well together.

Looking up Elivra saw that if she didn't pay attention she was going to lose Toothless and Hiccup as they were just about to disappear into the distance and it would not be a good idea as she had no idea where she was or how far away from the village she was. She regretted being so focused on being sneaky that she hadn't paid attention to her surroundings and if she lost Hiccup and Toothless now she'd be lost and that was not a very good idea especially not long after her latest fit. Looking up she noticed that Hiccup and Toothless had gotten even further away from her, giving up on being sneaky Elivra raced after them determined not to lose them or to get lost.

Hiccup's P.O.V.:

"What is it Bud?" Hiccup asked when he saw Toothless stop out of the corner of his eye, and his ears prick up looking around alert at the way they had come. As they stood there Hiccup waiting for Toothless to move so they could continue on their way to the Dragon Training Academy or for whatever Toothless could hear to come closer so they could find out what it was; Hiccup heard it. It was the sound of small feet slapping against the ground.

Hiccup grabbed his new and improved shield and held it aloft ready to defend himself against whatever was pursuing him and Toothless. It was a tense few minutes before Hiccup saw what or rather who had been pursuing him. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be resting Elivra!" Hiccup said sternly.
"I know. I know. But I had finished my book and cleaned the whole house from top to bottom and I was bored and didn't have anything else to do, so I was wondering around the Plaza when I saw you and Toothless and decided to follow you to see what the Dragon Training is like. I know I should have asked you and I'm so sorry Hiccup." Elivra apologised after she had gotten her breath back.

"It's fine Elivra I was just worried about you. If you want you could come with me and watch, you won't be able to do much but you could join in with the quizzes but you won't be able to participate with the exercises." Hiccup said nervously.
"That's fine. Thank you Hiccup, I just wanted to come and watch to see what it was like. Maybe I could help as in my old village before we were attacked I used to help out at the dragon reserve that we had there." Elivra told him.

"Really?" Hiccup asked looking excited at the prospect of learning more about dragons so they could better understand them. Elivra nodded her head smiling. "Okay then, come on the Academy is this way." Hiccup said as he lead her towards the Academy asking her all sort of questions about the dragons she had helped look after and about her old village.
