Astrid unfolded the note that had fallen out of her notebook while rolling her eyes at the stupid comment Callum had just made, not bothering to think of a witty comeback.
'I know your secret.'
Astrid felt the color drain out of her face as she re-read the note. Callum noticed the sudden and drastic change in his friend's mood, his mood immediately shifting to one similar to Astrid's.
"Astrid?" he asked cautiously.
"Well, shit!" Astrid cried dejectedly.

Hiccup goes to pacify the dragon only to find a beautiful creature with blue eyes and retractable teeth... Another Night Fury, and this one is a female! She doesn't like humans, though, and when she flees in fear, Hiccup and Toothless have to get her back. Even if that means they have to fight other dragons, enter the Sanctuary's deepest secret and find the truth behind Comet's horrible scar. Because if they don't, the race of Night Furies is doomed... Praise for Comet Nights: Comet Nights is a very good fanfiction. I think that it should be made into a movie, or a HTTYD mini series on Netflix! - @jayfeather44 I wouldn't be able to even tell whether this is an official story by DreamWorks, or an enormously successful fanfiction. It really takes you to Berk and tells the life of the last female Night Fury, and how much she means to save their tribe. I am astonished by RainbowPhoenixWrites's work, it truly inspires me. - @Tsunami_HolmesComplete

The Story of Midnight
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest.

The Space Between Heartbeats¹ | Mikaelson Brothers
Previously called Immortal Huntress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Astrid should have died a thousand years ago. Instead, she was sealed away. Her body frozen in magic, her blood bound by forces no one dared to challenge. Born a witch, raised among werewolves, and entangled with the Mikaelson family long before they became legends, Astrid vanished from the world before history could remember her. Until she wakes up. Thrown into the modern world she no longer recognises, Astrid must navigate a reality ruled by vampires, fractured alliances, and names that once meant family. The Mikaelsons are no longer mortal men with loyalties still intact. They are Originals, shaped by centuries of betrayal, violence, and power. And Astrid's return threatens everything they have built. Her blood awakens something unprecedented. Magic still answers her call. The wolf still claws beneath her skin. And vampirism, old, altered and dangerous, binds her to the very monsters who once loved her. As old bonds resurface and new desires form, Astrid becomes the centre of rivalries, obsession, and choices that echo across centuries. Enemies want her destroyed. Allies want her controlled. And the Mikaelsons are forced to confront the one truth they buried alongside her. She was never meant to wake up unchanged. In a world that has moved on without her, Astrid must decide whether she will reclaim what was taken from her... or become something powerful enough to survive what comes next. Major Smut Warning!!!
