009. ❛ eret ❜

"Toothless! Come get your children!" Kind of forgot I was on Berk to be honest. So it was weird to wake up in an unfamiliar bed and to see a window showing all of Berk.
I groan and put my hair in a messy ponytail. I was only wearing a pair of black tight pants and the dark red wrappings over my chest and stomach (technically a tube top). I scratch my eyes a few times, and stretch with an exhausted yell.
I could hear the clatter and voices of the village. The dragons roars and commotion very hearable. But I was used to this in the morning- I usually always had to wake up early because I had to start helping around as chief. So it was nice sleeping in for once.
"Hiccup? Where are you?!" I chuckle silently, hearing Stoick's voice boom throughout the house.
Last night Hiccup brought me to his place and said I could sleep in one of his guest bedrooms. I knew Nightflare started to sleep as he lay on the bed beside me, literally on top of me. But once the sun starts to come up, he likes to go up to a high place and watch over.
Even though it's not Eunoia, he still feels the need to look out since I'm here. I grinned as I had the small feeling he was on top of the roof of Hiccup's house.
I poked my head out the window and looked up. I laughed seeing him perched up, laying on top of the house as he watched over. With a couple of green terrible terrors, biting on his ear and sitting on his head.
"Hey boy" He turns his head towards me, and visibly gives me an annoyed look to the little dragons.
"Looks like you're having fun"
"So much fun"
"Good morning Noor!" I looked down to see Fishlegs with Snotlout- who smirked and gave me a wink. Then, with Astrid and Eret- who also looks very oddly familiar.
It's very annoying.
"Morning!" I yell, giving a nice smile and wave.
I laughed, as I went back to the room. Since it was technically 'winter' still and cold, I threw over my black fur hoodie over my top and a gray furred skirt over my pants. With thick gray arm wrappings and my big fur boots.
I walked out of the room and walked down the stairs to where they were. Valka and Stoick are discussing something on the couch, as Hiccup groaned at what they were discussing.
"No- I'm not- Dad! She just got here and we haven't seen each other since we were twelve- We're friends. I can't just ask that!" They hear me come down the last two steps, and stop talking.
"Good morning Noor! We discovered where your island is- Eunoia and I have sent a letter to your family, to let them know your safe"
"Oh thank you- but I don't plan on staying for a while, I do have duties back home..." I saw Stoick give Hiccup a sudden look and Hic only ignored it with a scoff.
"Me and Hiccup were discussing-"
"That I should give you a tour! It's a lot different from Old Berk 10 years ago, so it's only right to do so!" Hiccup said, cutting off his father while doing so. He takes my hand and pulls me out of his house.
"Okay... Where to start-"
"Chief! We need you over at the stables!" He groaned before turning to me.
"Sorry I'll be right back, I have to handle a few things and I promise I'll be right back to show you more around Berk, you could-"
"Hiccup..." He stopped as he started to ramble and I politely smiled at him, softly grabbing his hands.
"I get it, you go do your chiefly things and I'll just explore okay?" He let out a sigh of relief and nodded.
"We'll meet later?" I nod, as he gave me a grin before walking away to help those people out.
Suddenly, Eret comes and walks up in front of me.
"Hey, I think we haven't exactly officially met yet- I'm Eret" I give him a suspicious look before my eyes start to widen.
"I'm Eret. Son of Eret. Finest dragon trapper alive." He smirked and I glared up at him, as he walked towards me. My hands and feet are chained up, on... His boat.
"You know Drago's plan... And you know you're going to lose... So stop fighting it" I gritted my teeth, the taste of my blood on my tongue trying to pull at the chains.
"I would just obey- Drago already despises you, try not to make it harder for yourself sweetheart"
"You?!" I shout, glaring hard at his confused face.
(A/N: that low-key reminded me of the descendants part of the movie)
"What are you talking about?" I quickly got the sword out of his own sword holder and pointed it at him. He looked at the sword frightened, and started stepping back as I continued to walk towards him with the sword.
"You worked for Drago!" I raged, gathering the attention of others and including the gang.
"Noor- what are you doing?" Astrid exclaimed.
"He worked for Drago and tried to kill me!"
"Oh ho! Looks like Son of an Eret is gonna get a beating!" Ruffnut yells with a loud laugh from her twin.
"I don't know who you are!" Eret exclaims, as his back hits a wall.
"About four years ago- A clan under Drago Bludvist rule, attacked Eunoia and tried taking my dragons! I, Noor daughter of Harbeer Lennox-" His eyes suddenly widen in realization as my glare hardened and my sword poked his chest.
"Was held captive by you and his clan- then almost murdered by Drago himself!"
"Noor- I promise, he's better now" I hear Hiccup say behind me, setting his hand on my shoulder.
"H-he worked for him" I whispered, about to feel cold tears prickle my cheeks.
"I know" He whispers, putting his hand on mines and slowly putting it down, grabbing the sword out of my hands. He let's put a sigh, tossing the sword aside as he directed Eret to leave.
Eret left as I continued to stare at the wall in front of me. The night I was almost killed. Was the worst night of my life.
"Hiccup- I..." My voice wared off as he came in front of the wall I was starting at, and tilted my chin to look at him.
"It was so bad" I cried softly, and he immediately showed me the look of concern and pulled me into a hug.
For the most part, I was chained in the cells by my neck to the middle of the wall. I couldn't sit down because I'd choke, and I couldn't sit up straight because the chain wasn't long enough. So I was forced to sit in this uncomfortable squatting position for a while.
Soon my friends found me and I could barely walk. Fighting through the pain, I rode Nightflare to victory.
I made sure he wouldn't dare to come back.
But till this day, I would never be able to forget that day.
"Don't leave me" I muttered into his chest, and his grip was only tightened. He had his cheek against my head, and kissed softly.
"I wouldn't dare to leave you Nil"

"Hey Eret, I wanted to apologize-"
"No it's okay, I would have deserved it- I shouldn't have worked for Drago, it was the worst decision I have ever made. I hope to make it up to you"
"It's okay, I can tell so far you've changed for the better" Noor says giving him a nervous smile, before giving Astrid an apologetic smile.
As much as they both knew Astrid wasn't the most keen with her, she still slightly smiled at her beside Eret.
After Hiccup and her shared that meaningful hug, he took her back into his house. He made her a nice warm cup of mead (a popular drink during the Viking era that was technically tea I think) and they sat in front of his fireplace.
After a while, they just stared at the fire. She then decided to tell him about the fight she had with Drago. It made him furious. But so proud and astonished for her having to go through that herself and win.
But he couldn't help but go into that mindset of not taking the liking towards Eret again. He couldn't help it, he knew he worked for Drago and allowed him to do this to Noor. He knew that he's changed over the years, but couldn't help but think about it.
She felt it was right to tell him. Even though it was hard for her to say. And even though there were some things she left out, not wanting to tell so soon, she kept her face straight. She wanted to cry, but she wouldn't allow herself.
For the rest of the day, Nightflare sensed her distress. As soon as she and Hiccup walked out of his house, Flare immediately came to her side to make sure she was fine. And for the whole day he kept beside her protectively and cautiously.
Wanting to clear her head and breathe, she went out for a fly. When she told Hiccup, he volunteered to come with her out of instinct and concern. From what she told him, he didn't want her alone-
Well... he didn't want to be away from her.
But she declined and insisted she wanted to go by herself. With a look of worry, he patted Nightflare and waved them both goodbye.
"It was so scary" She whispers to herself, laying on her back on Nightflare as he glides on his wings.
"Are you okay?" Nightflare asked her, making her smile.
"Yeah I'm okay boy, don't worry" She tells him, playing with her hands a little and looking up at the clouds.
"And Hiccup was so sweet about it" Noor blushes at this, and covers her face with her hands.
"Gosh do I still like the boy I liked back ten years ago?" She asks herself, and blood rushes to her cheeks.
When she thought about it, she didn't want to leave to go back to Eunoia. But her people, family and friends are there. She had responsibilities she couldn't just leave.
She had a dragon she still wanted to train and learn. She had people counting on her to protect them. She had younger siblings, she told herself she'd never leave. She had friends that were the bestest friends she's ever had since Hiccup. She had so much back at...
Eunoia.
Home.
But being with Hiccup again.
She truly felt at home once again, knowing he was finally at her side after ten years without each other.
"Dammit Hiccup for finding me at Old Berk" She groaned into her hands, as her dragons laughed at her.
