Arrow (How to Train Your Dragon Fanfic)

Chapter 3

"That was awesome!" The man with blonde hair exclaimed. The female look-alike grinned almost deviously. "We need to fight more! I agree with you Tuffnut!"

"Ruffnut! Tuffnut! Do you not understand what's happening? We just captured 6 dragons and a human against their will! On top of that, one of them happens to have a trademark of a slaughtered village that everyone thought that everyone who lived there died!" Hiccup scolded.

"I know. It's awesome." The look-alike girl, Ruffnut, said. The boy look-alike, Tuffnut, clashed heads with Ruffnut, and they started to argue and wrestle. The other blonde was examining the other dragons, checking for injuries.

"Hey, Fishlegs! You got two new species to study." The fat man squealed and rushed over to the dragons.

"That's great and all, but how are we supposed to take them back to Berk with this beauty?" The pig-faced man asked, gesturing towards the tranquilized dragons and girl. The blonde came over and heaved Arrow over her shoulder.

"She's as light as a stick! Geez. Well I got the girl. You boys go help the other men bring the dragons back on board." The pretty, blonde said. Hiccup looked at the red-haired girl worriedly. "Hey, Astrid?" Astrid turned towards Hiccup.

"Yeah, babe?"

"...put her dagger back into its sheath." Astrid takes the knife away from Arrows hand and slides it back into its sheath.

Arrow wakes up and sees a wooden ceiling. She panics and tries to get up. She instead falls out of a cloth that was strung between two poles of wood. She lands on with a hard thud. Arrow doesn't feel the pain, too confused with what's going on. She sees a cut out block. She rams against it with her shoulder. It opens smoothly, and she stumbles before regaining her balance. All she can hear are humans talking and many different dragons talking to each other. Arrow feels her heart racing and sweat beads onto her temple. The black-haired boy from the island sees her and walks toward her. Arrow moves back frantically and falls backwards harshly.

"Hey, hey. Don't worry. I'm Snotlout, but you can call me handsome." Arrow spurs into action, springing up and shoving past the boy, Snotlout, and running off the wooden thing and yelling out in dragon-tongue for her family. She bumps into many people, angry yelling fading behind her as she runs faster and faster. Her loud yells in dragon-tongue attract weird stares and many people watch her run down the street. When she turns a corner, she slams into something. Arrow falls back onto the dusty road. She rubs her forehead and looks at what's blocking her way. A devious smile decorated the blondes face.

"I like you." The talk, skinny girl says. Arrow starts to get up when the blonde tackles you, pinning you to the dirty road. Arrow thrashed around and attempted to bite the look alike blonde.

"Ruffnut! Get off her!" Arrow hears the voice of another female and starts thrashing around more vividly. She felt the girl, Ruffnut, loosen her grip and saw her look pouty. The blonde then got off her completely. Arrow propped herself on her elbows and scrambled back a bit, her squirrel fur dress catching dirt and dust from the road.

"We're not here to hurt you, mystery girl. We're here to help you." Arrow turns around and sees another blonde.

"How did you help me? You took my family!" Arrow yells, her anger very present. She sprang onto her feet. "Where's my family?!"

"They're being taken on a tour of the island Berk." The blonde said. Ruffnut was picking her nose.

Arrow wrinkled her button nose. "To...ur?" The blonde stared at her. "You don't know what a tour is?" Arrow shakes her head; she glances behind her and sees that Ruffnut had taken off to somewhere else.

"No." The blonde looked at Arrow. "Why don't we do that after you shower and change." Arrow looked down and saw that she was covered in dirt and dust. Arrow sheepishly nodded slowly, digging through the archives of her memory to find out what a 'shower' was. The blonde held out her hand. "Well, you might as well learn my name. I'm Astrid. Let's go to the shower."

Arrow finally put on her shirt over the top of the body, completing her look. It had taken a while to figure out how to put on pants, but she did, eventually. Though, she refused to wear shoes, Arrow thought they were uncomfortable little things that only trapped your feet. She reached for her dagger and examined the old metal. Astrid had suggested a blacksmith to fix it up, and Arrow did want to clean and sharpen the dull dagger. But for now, Astrid was going to take Arrow on one of those 'tours' she had mentioned earlier. She slid the dagger into its sheath. She opened the door, something else she had learned from Astrid, and presented herself to Astrid.

"Now you look like a true Viking!" Astrid smiles. Arrow grinned widely at the Vikings approval of her appearance.

"Let's go! I'll show you where your family is and Gobbers place!" Astrid motioned for Arrow to follow her and on you two went.

Astrid showed her the Great Hall, Mess Hall, Medecine Hut, Sheep Farm, and so many other things! Along the way Arrow had found her family; they were flying over Berk, Toothless and Stormfly pointing out the various buildings on the small island. Stardust looked amazed and extremely happy. Crow and Shadow looked really grumpy; Arrow didn't think they wanted to be there. Night and Silver were calmly looking at their surroundings, most likely deciding if they were to be trusted or not. At the end of the tour, Astrid finally went to Gobber, the blacksmith, to shine and sharpen Arrow's dagger. Arrow reluctantly gave Gobber her only possession and Astrid took her to see the baby gronckles to cheer her up.

"Astrid?" Astrid looked at Arrow.

"Yeah?"

"Why did the fat man gasp at my dagger?" Astrid chuckled at Arrows name for Fishlegs.

"The fat man's name is Fishlegs, and he had gasped because you're the only one of the Herb Tribe left."

"Herb.....Tribe?" Arrow looked at Astrid, confusion clearly evident in her face.

"The Herb Tribe is a very famous name around the Viking world because it was the Tribe that was slaughtered by the Hashim Tribe. It was rumored that the Herbs had Night Furies on the island, and the Hashim Tribe wanted them for some reason. The Herb Tribe said they didn't have any. The Hashim Tribe got angry and left. 3 weeks later, they attacked at night. Killed everyone in their anger. You're the last one. If they find you, you're dead for sure."

"Oh, so like my nightmare!" Astrid looks at Arrow. "Your nightmare?"

"Yeah! Some female took me into the woods and put me on Night. Then, something went through her chest. Then, she went to sleep. Some men with red paint on their face looked at me and Night and my sister and brother."

"The female is sleeping. Oh...Arrow."

Arrow stopped petting the baby Gronckle in her lap and asked sweetly, "Astrid. What's 'dead?'"
