“Fishlegs, your late!” a boy with brown hair said
“Sorry, I was out of patrol and I found a boat on the beach and I found a person inside”
“Fishlegs, you show me?” I asked
“Sorry. Ok everyone, this is Freya”
“Hi” I said waving
“Freya, this is Hiccup and his night fury, Toothless” Fishlegs said. I waved at Hiccup and started to walk up to Toothless when he growled at me as well.
“Whats up bud?” Hiccup asked him
“Umm and Astrid with her Deadly nadder, Stormfly” I waved but Stormfly shot some spines at me
“Woh, woh, easy girl” Astrid said to her. I didn't wait around to meet the other three I ran out the door and sat on the ground outside.
I heard footsteps and looked up.
“It's ok Freya, tomorowo-“ Fishlegs said
“Fishlegs, me don't think the dragons like me.”
“ok, well tonight I found you a place to sleep”
“were?”
“my house, I can ask my parents”
“Me thank you!”.
“you can come in and watch if you want.” Fishlegs said
“me don't want to stress out dragons”
“don't worry, well keep an eye on them”. We stood up and walked into the arena and Hiccup came over
“did you find anything?” Fishlegs asked him
“No and I did the dragon root test yesterday” Hiccup said
The rest of the day I spent watching the academy train and walking around berk. That night I was just hanging around the academy waiting for Fishlegs to come back from island portrole to get to his house for sleep.
“what is up with you?” Astrid asked me
“why you ask that?”
“because, people don't just show up on berk and just happen to have no parents, it just doesn't happen. Then every dragon is scared of you!”
“Astrid, if me was going to tell you truth about me parents me would have trust you. And most those things are the same. Me have no idea why dragons don't like me, me did just happen to show up on berk ok?” I said getting really annoyed at her. Then a black haired, annoying boy called Snotlout walked in.
“Ladies, I know that you are fighting over the Snotman but please, my fangirl base is very big” He said and I tripped him over then Astrid pushed him to the ground with her little finger.
“Job good” I said to her
“That wasn't bad yourself” she said walking away.
That night I couldn't sleep I got up for a walk then I had an idea. I got up and walked around the back of the village and into Gobber's shop. I got a piece of metal and started making something that I had never tried. After I had made my top in the toothery (I swear Gobber is dead, he didn't hear me) I ran to the store house and got paint (pink and Purple), leather and red fabric. After that I ran all the way back to the academy and set out everything on the floor but just as I was about to start a chill is set in the air and it started to snow. I picked up everything and ran to the closest inside, a door on the side of the academy. When I opened it I saw a dark staircase, my curiosity getting the better of me. I walked down it until I found another door. I opened it and looked inside, it was a room. There was a bed in the corner, a fireplace and a pot. A work space was by the wall and an Idea started forming in my head.
I got a blanket and some paper and a pencil. Then I dusted off everything and it was almost morning. I quickly changed into my new clothes, a red top under a metal short top with jagged edges. My skirt was brown but I used the pink and purple paint to add design. My arm guards were brown and red. I used my dagger and cut my hair so it was hanging just below my shoulders, my long brown mane fell to the ground and I tied it up in a side plait to hide my dragon hunter tattoo on my neck. Suddenly I heard a big bang and ran up the stairs and out the door. I saw everyone with their dragons and realized that it was just people landing.
“Hi!” I said walking out and seeing a thin layer of snow on the ground
“Hey Freya, what were you doing down in the dragon keeper's room?” Fishlegs asked me
“me was here last night then it started snow I run there, I live there. You guys weren't using it”
“Yeah, we don't use it anymore. How did you know that?” Hiccup asked me
“Me didn't sleep last night me was cleaning” I said glaring at him
“fair point”
¨What you doing today?¨ I asked strapping my quiver on my back then putting my bow on my back as well. Suddenly Toothless walked up to me sniffed me and then nuzzled my arm with his head.
¨Ummm hi?” I said to him petting his head. Next thing I know all of the dragons were walking up and sniffing me. ¨help?¨ I asked.
¨why do the dragons like you now?¨ Hiccup asked
¨no sure, you tell me. Wait, Me know, me wearing nadder hide. Duh Fariana!¨ I said slapping my hand on my head.
¨Yeah, that sorta makes sense” Fishlegs said.
Over that day I got to help them with their drill and I got a few lessons in old norse but that night I still couldn't sleep. I ended up setting up the targets and practising with my bow and arrow. But I could never seem to hit anything. I sat down on the snowy ground for a second but when I opened my eyes it was daylight and I was lying on the ground. I was mad at myself but quickly stood up and brushed myself off. Picking up my arrows I shoved them back in my quiver and drew back an arrow but I still couldn't hit the targets, I started gathering up my arrows when Astrid landed in the arena. I gave her a nod and she nodded back. I drew back another arrow desperate to hit the target, just because Astrid was in the arena. I managed to hit the wall behind the target. I tried again but this time I only hit the ground.
¨Need any help?¨ she asked
¨No, i’m fine”
¨are you sure?¨ she asked then picked up the arrows on the ground and on the wall.
¨I just can't hit target¨ I said trying again
¨well maybe you should pull back and don't hit so fast just make sure your looking at exactly where you want it to hit then try again¨ she said passing me the arrow.
I pulled back and took a deep breath steared at the middle of the target and shot, it hit the edge of the target.
¨I hit it!¨ I shouted extra excited
¨Good now again” She said and we continued shooting until the others arrived.
¨Thanks.¨ I said to her and gave her a smile
¨that wasn't...horrible¨ she said pulling herself up on Stormfly. I walked over and gave Stormfly a pat. She gave me a small smile.
