'0.4' Save me

My heart pounded in my ears as I look right into his bright yellow eyes. He bared his teeth and opened his mouth wide. Fear made me stand where I was as the orange amber launched is way to me.

Without thinking, I ducked as the coloured fluid barely missed my body. Kneeling I pulled out my dagger and look to where the amber was hardening on a random rock. So he's the one behind it ...

I narrow my eyes in concentration as I aimed my dagger towards the dragon. It looked like he caught up with my idea and shot another piece of his amber fluid at me. I barrel-rolled out of the way but the tips of hair was caught in his amber.

I growled as the amber hardened around the tips. Quickly I tried to brush it off but it stuck hard and solid on the hair tips. " Imora look out!" A voice yelled from the clearing. Immediately, I recognize it as Viggo's.

I glance and see another piece of amber making it's way to me. I jump out of the way and see Ryker with a lot of guards standing hidden in another opening of the canyon. The Death song looked at Viggo standing behind him.

He's gonna shoot! " Hey! Dragon head! Over here!" I exclaim as loudly as I could. His head swung in my direction as I jump and run around unpredictably. His wings unfolded and he let out a blood curling roar.

I cover my ears from the unholy sound and race off towards my original spot, clasping the dagger tightly in my left hand. Viggo caught on and yelled further: " Here you ugly beast!"

Ryker and the guards ran from their spot and shot at the dragon with nets and arrows. After a whole minute of fighting it, it was trapped in one of the nets Ryker shot. The commotion died down and so did my adrenaline. I put my dagger in my waist pocket thinking.

They're gonna kill me. Well, it's been a nice life. I say to myself sarcastically. They pushed the dragon into a dragon-proof cage and onto a cart with wheels. " Come out." I heard Ryker say.

I squint my eyes. This isn't going to go well. " Imora." I heard him warn. Shakily I walked over to where the two was. I could feel their cold stares as I look down to the ground. It felt like forever when I finally got to them.

" Yeah?" I say not looking up. " Why were you here?" Viggo asks calmly. " Well," I start but was cut of by Ryker. " No lying."

" I heard strange noises." I mumble kicking a nearby rock. " Noises? All you had to do was stay inside." Viggo replies. " I know." I mutter now kicking the ground. I heard one of them sigh.

" We'll discuss this later but for now ..." Viggo walking to stand beside me. " There's your cliff." He pointed to a high cliff at the edge of the ceiling. I look up and took my que to leave , jogging to the cliff.

Sometimes they would act like parents and that wasn't the annoying part; it is when I step out of line when everything became an issue.( which was often, because I am known for being mischievous.) I saw a path leading to the cliff but didn't go in that direction instead, I walk to the beach and saw a couple crabs running around.

I stretched and pulled out my dagger while getting ready to pounce if a crab neared. I stayed incredibly still as a crab ran by my feet. I pounce and stabbed it with my dagger. The body stilled after a few moments.

I stood up with a smile and threw it in a corner. I repeated this action and got three crabs in total. Proud of myself I pick them up carefully and head to the cliff. I stubbled on the way there and sat on the edge of the cliff waiting.

By now it was sunset and I could see the sky turning into a beautiful array of colours . I stare at it for a while before I heard a low grumbling coming from behind me . I turn around fearful but saw the white night fury walking towards me .

I smile. " Hey girl how's it been?" She made a purr sound and let her head push me slightly in the gut. She was showing affection, so I kneeled and scratched her under her chin making her purr even louder. " I got you some food." I smile as she wiggled her tail understanding what I said.

I walked over to the edge and sat down pulling and showing the crab for her. She eagerly trotted to me and showed her teeth, throwing it into the air she caught skilfully. Clasping the crab in her teeth and swallowing it whole.

Impressed, I throw another and she caught it again. We repeated this cycle till there was nothing left. She sat down beside me and licked me affectionately, probably thanking me. I pat her head and look to the sunset gazing into its brightness. Her wing covered my body and all stress oozed out of me. The warm brought me comfort and I closed me eyes smiling.

Come to think of it ...what will my brothers think if they found out I helped a dragon and them tamed it ..? I leaned against her form as she licked me from the top of my head. My heart felt on fire with emotion. I just tamed a dragon!

I know I should be stressed about them finding out about my little secret, but being with this dragon ..no , being with my dragon, I felt like nothing will hurt me further. I felt free and most importantly ...loved. In the distance I heard a horn blew signaling threat.

My mind instantly said Dragon Riders. " Destiny you have to go, they're coming." I whisper. She growled in protest. She does have a point, I mean she just got here. " Go, I'll be fine besides, you can always track me out if you have to." She folded her wing to her side and impressed me by pressing her forehead to mine.

Shocked temporarily, I freeze and took a long breath of relief. I pressed my forehead to hers as my hands dwelled to her head gently holding in place. " Go."I said.

We break the hold and stared at each others eyes for a moment before she turned around and flew off to the clouds. She disappeared and I sigh. I still wonder why she came back for me? Well , you asked her to. Yeah but I didn't expect her to come ....I'm a dragon hunter! She should be scared off me!

I saw so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I didn't hear the Dragon Riders beneath me. " Do you really think it could be here Hiccup?" It snapped me out of my thoughts as I begin to panic. I silently stood and played unconscious in the middle of the cliff.

A while past with the voices muttering and mumbling when I heard the clink of metal and felt a huge gush of wind beside me. " Hiccup look! " A boy yelled. I almost smiled with satisfaction. " What is that?" Another boy asked.

" Looks like...girl." A female voice spoke. " Get us closer in, bud." The wind increased and my hair blew in different ways altogether. I heard a thump and then another and another till there was silence . " H-Hello?" " Who's the freaky girl? She looks awesome." A different girl spoke.

" Ruffnut be quiet. We don't know if she's a threat." I heard her groan at his statement. Footsteps increased in my direction, until I could feel their presence right next to me. " Sniff her bud." I heard him order.

I felt something sniff all around me. Please work. Please work. Please work. I repeat in my head till I felt a tongue licking my face over and over again. Like Destiny does. " She doesn't seem like a threat. " I heard him mutter.

" Can she ride with me?" A boy asked. " Snotlout last time we trusted you, you almost burned the Edge." The familiar voice spoke. " Whatever." He replied.

" Hey are you awake?" The boy requests and gently nudged my shoulder. I didn't move. " Looks like she's out." He muttered to the assumed dragon. " What if it's a trap?" I heard a another boy asked. " Really Tuff? Look at her arms she must have been attacked. Plus Toothless didn't find any threat on her."

" Still Hiccup, this could be a trap. But what do you want to do with her anyways?" The girl asked. " Take her back to the edge." He said matter of factly. I felt arms wrap around my body and pull me up from the ground. His arms felt warm and comforting as he carried me bridal style.

He set me down on what I assume a dragon or Toothless. He climbed in back of me as I leaned against his chest which I should add was nicely toned. He took off with no warning what so ever. I wanted to scream, I wanted to yell protest, but I couldn't otherwise I'll blow my cover.

The air swept past my ears at a alarming rate. I never liked heights so this was a tad bit too much. Oh well, if I die, I'll haunt my brothers to the death ...

~ No one's POV ~

Viggo and his brother Ryker stood at the edge of the boat watching the Dragon Riders fly into the distance. " I assume they took the bait." Viggo asked expectancy lacing his every word. " Of course." Ryker boasted.

Viggo nodded and left without a word hoping that Imora would not ruin this. Ryker however didn't care about the mission; his mind was dwelling over other choices of becoming the rightful chief of the tribe...
