38. Just Above The Line P1

Talulahh's POV:

We weaved through flying arrows. "Chip!" I pointed at the ropes that tied a cage shut. The Fireworm burned them off, freeing the Nadder inside.

As we started to fly away, Mestlug's leg got caught in a dragon-proof chain. The Hunters kept shooting arrows. Astrid and I both gasped as they came towards us. Astrid got hit in the leg, as I got hit in the side.

"Are you okay?" I immedaitly asked.

Astrid yanked out the arrow. "Yeah, are you?"

"Always." I grinned.

"A little help here!" I heard Fishlegs yell.

I flew towards them. Mestlug blasted at the chain. Then the winch. Dragon-proof.

"Oh, I'm afraid the chain and the winch are both dragon-proof this time." Ryker laughed.

"But that wood deck isn't." Hiccup smiled.

"Neither are you." I added.

Toothless shot the deck as Saph encased Ryker in amber. We flew away, smiling.

I took off my tunic. "Can you help?" I looked at Astrid. She walked over and helped me wrap the bandage around my waist.

"Thanks." I smiled, putting my tunic on again. "Your turn."

"I'm fine." Astrid sighed.

"No you aren't." I shoved her onto the bed and kneeled in front of her, gently slipping her boot off. I wrapped her thigh, my touch lingering.

"Thank you." She blushed.

"Anytime, sunshine." I grinned.

I helped Astrid limp into the dome as my side ached.

"Are you limping?" Hiccup noticed.

"No." Astrid replied.

"She got shot in the leg." I countered.

"You also got shot." Astrid shot back.

"What?" Hiccup exclaimed.

"It just hit my side." I shrugged before Astrid and I walked away.

"All right, has anyone else been hurt recently? Who didn't tell me?" Hiccup asked, knowing that was something we would all do.

Snotlout and the twins raised their hands. "I got a thing in my eye." Tuff said.

"You mean that tiny little bug?" Ruff asked.

"Hey, that bug was on a mission. A mission to be in my eye."

"Oh, gods." Hiccup murmered.

"We all know the risks, Hiccup." Heather told him.

"And let's not forget we freed a couple dozen dragons this week." Astrid added.

"Okay, guys, new rule. From now on-" Hiccup started, cutting himself off when a Terrible Terror landed on his arm.

Hiccup pulled the letter off its legs, then it flew away. He furrowed his brows as he read.

"What is it? Lots of big words? Want me to take a look?" Tuff asked. "Yeah, big words are my thing. Or should I say thingy."

"Tell us, Hiccup." I said.

"It's from Viggo. He wants to meet." Hiccup replied with a frown.

"He picked a spot in the middle of nowhere. Nice long flight to tire out your dragon." Astrid noted, pointing at the map.
