Race to the Edge (Hiccup x reader)

Reign of Fireworms p1.

"It began with one fireworm, and as we were flying back, we kept seeing more and more." Fishlegs says to Hiccup and Astrid.

Hiccup had decided it would be a good idea to have Mila tag along with them while flying around and Fishlegs showing them the fireworms. For Mila this is a very bad situation. She's lucky at the moment it's daylight.

"Do you think they're migrating?" Astrid asks Fishlegs and Hiccup.

"If they were migrating, the whole island would be on fire." Hiccup says while all Mila can do is hope that is not the case.

"Not necessarily." Fishlegs says like the book nerd he is. Not that Mila minds.

"Here we go." Snotlout rolls his eyes at him.

Mila has been tensed since she woke up this morning, it had always been weird how she could always feel when a fireworm was near. And it may have another reason but she is trying not to think of that.

"When fireworms migrate, they send out scouts to see if their migration route is safe. If this is a stop along that route-..." fishlegs explains to them what the most likely scenario is.

"An entire flock of fireworms could be coming through here." Astrid says.

Mila draws in a sharp breath, this is going to be a nightmare to her. She can't have an entire flock of fireworms here. She closes her eyes for a second to collect her thoughts and try to ignore what is coming, inevitably.

"Well, I say bring 'em on! I love those little scorchers." Tuff says dreamily as if its his dream to come true.

"Well I don't. I have always avoided them like a plague!" Mila comments, which like always, gets ignored.

"Are you still gonna love them when they all land here and burn our entire island to the ground?" Hiccup asks while Mila shivers a bit.

She hates them, not for the fact that she doesn't like them but for something that happens to her that she rather doesn't want anyone to know. Not everything about is something she wants to share with them.

"Yes! Wait, no. Wait, is that a trick question? Because it's pretty tricky." Tuffnut says, while being as dumb and clueless as ever.

"Fishlegs, how much time do we have?" Astrid asks Fishlegs something that is more important.

"Uh, it's hard to say. If it's a full migration, the rest of them could be here as soon as next week." Fishlegs says a bit unsure.

"Ha! Good to know." Snotlout says, Mila looks behind her for a second to see Snotlout stopping Hookfang from flying more. "It's been nice knowing you, island. Snotlout is outlout." Snotlout says before turning around and flying away.

"We're not abandoning the island, Snotlout." Hiccup says, Mila pulls on Rex's horns and slows him down.

Hiccup turns Toothless around and quickly flies over to Snotlout to stop the annoying viking from leaving. Mila wishes right now that she could leave for a week and come back maybe when they're gone because she is sure as Niflheim not going to be around when the fireworms are. Is that cowardly? Yes, and does she care? No!

"Uh, yeah, we are. Watch." Snotlout says, not seeming to care for this island.

Hiccup stops Snotlout from flying any further by hovering in front of him. Mila feels something drop onto her head. She knows it's a fireworm and she casually sweeps it off her head. With Fishlegs looking at her in disbelieve.

'Okay! Note to self! Do not touch a fireworm around these guys because they don't know she can!' Mila thinks. Knowing that she just gave it away.

"Guys, we put too much hard work into this place to just leave. Snotlout is not 'outlout'. We're staying. Now let's get to work." Hiccup commands them while being a bit angry.
