Johann's POV:

I absolutely do not get why Amber hates me so much.

(The whole HTTYD fanbase: seriously? this traitor is asking that?)

I wanted to know a bit more about the hybrids, and then she sets these weird wingless dragons after me. Telling them to go play fetch the traitor. Traitor? I'm no traitor. I'm a trader. Their names are so weird as well. Who names wingless dragons Blue, Delta, Charlie and Echo?

(traitor, trader, what's the difference, and don't offend the Raptor Squad)

I am currently hiding in a stone box that seems suspiciously like a coffin.

Why would Amber have coffins in her house?

Normal POV:

"Guys? Let's play hide and go seek." Amber said as they all relaxed on the couches. "That's something I played with you when you came to watch RTTE with me."

"Is it normal hide and seek or is there a catch?" Snotlout asked.

"Well, if you find someone/if they find you, you duel and the loser sits out and the winner keeps looking. So a hider can end up being a seeker if they're found and if they win." Amber explained.

"There was a catch." Tuff mumbled.

"Obviously, the ideal thing is to not be found at all." she said, ignoring Tuff's statement. "That's how you win the game properly. But if you're found and you win all the duels, then you win as well."

"Ok I'll give it a try." Astrid said.

"I second that!" Ruff called. "I can use the changewing cloaks that--"

"Oh, and you can't get anyone else to help you or anything like that." Amber added. "And you can use changewing cloaks and use whatever hybrid powers you guys have."

"What does that mean?" Fishlegs asked. "Why do the twins have changewing cloaks?"

"You can't for example, run into the dinosaur's room and try to distract the seeker by causing a stampede of raptors. And the twins have changewing cloaks because I gave it to them."

"Why would anyone do that?" Hiccup asked.

"Why would anyone do what?" Johann asked, entering the room covered in dust.

"Johann!" Amber smiled. No one could tell if it was fake or genuine. "Good timing. Let's play hide-and-if-you're-found-you duel-with-the-other-person-and-you-try-to-beat-everyone-to-win."

"Ms. Amber, I don't think----"

"Good then it's settled then." Amber said cheerfully. "Snotlout, you be the seeker first. Count to 120. Do you need me to set a timer?"

"No, it's ok."

"Good. We start now." and with that, Amber disappeared into thin air.

"Where did she go?" Johann asked nervously.

"I didn't go anywhere." Amber said from the ceiling, though no one could see her. "Just hide already."

Everyone hid, except Johann, who stood there like he was about to ask a question.

"Where is everybody?" he mumbled. He walked away and hid in a large cardboard box.

Snotlout's POV:

Guess I'm supposed count for two minutes. Why would anyone do that? I should've asked Amber for a timer or whatever that was.

Two minutes pass slower when you're counting by yourself. Not to mention, it's extremely boring.

117,

118,

119,

120!

Yay! Finally. I guess I need something to duel with and then I can go find these people and a wimpy traitor.

I found two swords in a chest, along with some throwing axes, knives and.....was that a war hammer? Why would Amber have those? They seemed pretty well balanced for something that is not what Vikings usually used. I took the swords and left the others in the chest. Let's hope that Amber doesn't kill me for taking these.....

I wandered around the house aimlessly, trying to find my fellow Dragon Riders, a traitor and a crazy, weapons obsessed hybrid girl.

"----he'll hear you!"

"Shut up, if we don't speak, maybe he won't find us."

I rolled my eyes. I remember the twins doing that in a training exercise that Hiccup put us through. They thought Astrid couldn't see the fact that THEY WERE BEHIND A TREE TOO SMALL FOR THEIR DRAGON.

I beat them easily, because when you're arguing with a sibling, you tend to forget the current situation at hand.

"Cool swords, Snot-man!" Tuff exclaimed as he sat down and held an icepack to his swollen eye. "Where'd you find them?"

"Uh, he probably stole them from Amber." Ruff said. "It's obvious that those aren't our own weapons because we didn't have any weapons when we got zapped here to this 21st place thingy."

"Century." Tuff corrected.

I walked away, leaving them to debate on who's swords I had, and where I found them.

So, I still need to find Hiccstrid, Fishface, the traitor, and crazy hybrid girl that happens to be our host.

"Don't panic, there's no one here except me, Meatlug and a pile of bones."

Wait, what? I tried to use my dragon hearing, because I assume that Dragons have better hearing than humans.

"Shh, stop it, Fishlegs. You're being paranoid."

Ah, so it was Fishlegs. But where is he.....

I pressed my ear to the wall and the mutterings got louder.

I walked into the room next to the one I was in and saw no one......that's strange. I could've sworn that Fishlegs was in here.

"Uh, think happy thoughts. I won't be found, I won't be found..."

The whispering seemed to come from a door that I didn't notice. I walked towards it and yanked it open. A dog ran out. I'm going to assume that was Meatlug. Then some skulls and old bones fell out. I guess this was Fishlegs' hiding spot.

"BOO!!" I shouted into the dark.

"AHHHHHH!!!!!!" Fishlegs jumped out and landed on the ground while hugging a plush Toothless. Wait, a plush Toothless? There are plush Toothlesses in this house? (Guys, what is the plural for Toothless? I feel like Toothlesses sounds like something Gollum would say......)

It was also pretty easy to beat Fishlegs. He was already frightened from me yelling so he didn't put up much of a fight.

"The twins are in the living room, if you're wondering." I called as I looked for Hiccstrid.

IDK how to write what happens when he found Hiccstrid and traitor Johann......so yeah, sorry 'bout that.

I walked into a room labeled: No Entry Allowed.

Well, screw that, I'm already in here.

I had already beat Johann, Hiccup and Astrid, mainly because Hiccstrid weren't in the mood for fighting a muttonhead, as Astrid puts it, and Johann was like: Master Snotlout, please don't kill me.

The room I was in was filled with the weirdest things. There was a display case in the middle of the room, and some chests in the corner. Inside the case was a pen, a shiny white jewel, a bracelet, a rock, and a what looked like two golden-framed monocles stuck together. (I will put info on what those are in the A/N at the end)

I opened a chest and saw Amber curled up inside with a Deathsong tail wrapped around her body. She appeared to be sleeping. Why would she be sleeping in the middle of a Hide, Seek and Fight game?

I poked her shoulder and she shot up with a dagger, holding it to my neck.

What the heck?

"Why are you in here?" she asked tiredly.

"Umm." I said.

"Never mind, just go to where the people who lost are at." Amber curled back up in the chest. "Now go away and let me sleep."

Guys, so I finally posted another chapter for HTTYD in the Modern World.

Remember the stuff that Snotlout found? Here's what they are in he order they appear:

Riptide

The Arkenstone

Thalia's bracelet shield

The stone of resurrection from Harry Potter

Jason's glasses

And I also finished the drawing of Amber.

What do y'all think?

I personally rate this drawing a 7 or 8 out of 10

Mainly because it wasn't exactly how I envisioned it in my head with color........

Also, the scar bothers me.

I don't think I drew it correctly.

Feb 7 2022 update: I have a better drawing of Amber, and it's more up to date with her current appearance:

The red dragon behind her is Crimson, and this drawing is for an original story I'm currently writing. 

Yeah, Amber changed a lot since writing HTTYD in the Modern World.

And I fell in gym class today trying to get the ball from the opposing team while playing handball.

I slid on the floor, and tiny bits of stone that I have no idea why it's even in the gym cut a line around my left elbow.

Oh, and I burned this scratch in art class on a heater.

I'm so prone to injury, it's not even funny anymore.

So, that's that.

I have nothing else to say except for:

Comment what you think of the book so far, and vote if you want to.....

umm.

yeah.

I'll see you hybrids in the next chapter!
