Chapter 12
Camicazi
It was nightfall, and I was anxious and nervous. This is our chance to take Berk back from the Bewilderbeast , but to be totally honest, I'm completely scared.
Scared to face the only family that I have known to go against, because of what I believed in. Going against my own father, Drago Bludvist.
Hiccup was being generous enough to let me sleep in the Haddock Household, "You are welcome to stay here until the battle tomorrow."
"Hiccup, what if things didn't go exactly as you want them to?" I ask nervously , but the Dragon Prince seems to be smiling .
"Everything has their own reasons, Cami. Believe me, it took a lot of courage to admit things would change for the better.
Heck, I was scared like you."
"You?!? You're the Dragon Prince , you inhabited a dragon that nobody has ever seen, A Night Fury!
How could you be scared of that?"
He remains silent for a moment, as if he were remembering the first encounter with Toothless.
" Cami.. Like Snoutlout has told you, I wasn't... too comfortable with the other Vikings like I do now.
I was angry, and I basically killed Toothless, unknowingly that I was the destined Dragon Prince who has to balance both Dragon and Human world.
I almost killed the people I cared the most, and I would not forgive myself if anything bad happens to them."
I could see it through his emotions. It's like what he did in the past as the Dragon Prince still haunts him.
"Hiccup." I said, as I tried to comfort my friend as he transform into his Night Fury self and flew off in the distance.
"Don't worry about Hic. He just needs to cool off by the Cove . He'll be himself by then." Astrid said, reassuring me.
Astrid
I overheard the conversation between Hiccup and Camicazi. True that Cami didn't reveal that Drago is her father, but who couldn't blame her to have a villain as a father?
It seems to me that both of them have similar problems of trying to be someone important.
I touched the scar on my arm, the scar that Hiccup had given me on the day I first discovered his secret of being the Dragon Prince.
The memory came flooding through my veins, and the memory is something I wouldn't forget .
"Hiccup? What's happen to you?"
"Stay away from me!" He growls as he uses his talons to scratch me as the blood came coming out as I passed out.
Snoutlout touches me as I jumped in total shock and surprise. "Snoutlout! You startled me!" I said, as the Viking rubs his head .
"Sorry about that. I was worried about where you off to, so I came searching for ya. " He explains as he sat on the dock ledge.
I joined him as I sat next to him. He looks at my metal leg, as he said, "How you feeling with the new leg?
I know that it's not my best work, but I um, wanted to be unique. "
I look at the leg, "It's all right, Snoutlout. You did great on it. You make a great Blacksmith like Hiccup does everyday."
The boy said, surprised, "Really, Astrid? I mean, I'm not entirely talented like my cousin, he's a better at being a blacksmith than I am."
"Snoutlout, you're more alike than you think. Hiccup and you are cousins and best friends. If you were in trouble, Hiccup would do anything to save you.
Would you do the same for him?" I ask.
The Viking raises an eyebrow, "Since when you giving advice? Man, you really have changed over the past year.
It's like you matured ."
"Well... with everything had happened, someone has to . Besides, we all have roles to play here, even though we didn't realize it yet." I replied to him.
Emily came to us as she looks around, "Where did Hiccup go?"
"To the Cove, where else he could've gone off to? Maybe you should talk to him, give him a pep talk. He might need it ." I replied to the Nadder.
The Nadder seems confused of my explanation as she flew to the Cove to find Hiccup.
Emily
As I was wondering what Astrid meant by Hiccup needing a pep talk, I decided to find out for myself.
As I landed, I see Hiccup in his Night Fury form, lying upside down in a tree branch.
He seems distracted , as I walked up to the brown Night Fury silently then asks, "Hiya , Hic. What you doing hanging upside down like that?"
"E-Emily?!?" The brown Night Fury stutters as he fell off the branch and landed in the grass below.
I looked at him, as he transformed into his human form as he rubs the dirt off his clothes. "That was a little uncalled for.
Wait, why you here, Emily?"
I said, "Well, I came looking for you, apparently. Astrid told me that you would be here. "
The boy bit his lip, "Oh, she did, I didn't know that she knew I could be here . I came to think about something on my mind recently.
I was trying to think of some plan to defeat Drago and I um, don't have any plans at the moment. I thought trying to think while I was in my Night Fury form and hanging upside down would do the trick until you showed up."
"Oh." I said, seem to be total embarrassed by it.
"You still regret it , don't you? After you been through as the Dragon Prince the last year?" I ask.
The Viking seems surprised that I have known about his guilt.
"How did-" He began to ask, as I said, "Hiccup, c'mon. We basically are friends, and I was the one who helped you control your powers in the first place, remember?
You can't hide secrets from me... Aside of not telling me you killed Toothless."
The boy's cheeks blushes as he rubs his head, "Yeah, that's a good point, Emily. "
"Well, am I right?" I ask.
"Yes, it's true, I still felt guilty about what happened the past year. It still give me nightmares, Emily.
And with Drago controlling the Bewilderbeast, I'm afraid that I would go back on that dark path again." He admits.
I said, giving him a hug, "You won't go to that dark path, I know you're strong. The bond you have,
the feeling of passion and love for your families, the Vikings and Dragons would never be broken."
The boy smiles at me, as if having a pep advice talk is really all he needs.
"Thanks, Emily. I really needed that. " He said.
"Anytime you need someone to talk to, I am always here." I grinned as Toothless flew down with a curiosity expression on his face.
"What you guys talking about?" The Black Night Fury asks.
Hiccup and I exchanged looks at one other, as we laughed at him.
"Com'on, tell me!" He pleads, as we walk back to the village.
"Sorry, bud, it's a secret between Emily and me." Hiccup explains to the curious dragon as he pouts, "That's not fair, you guys! "
