Life of A Dragon

Chapter Twenty "The Truth Comes Out part 2"

You said she was near? Siare growls. Yeah. Very near. I growl. Shawn? Why are you here? He's going to have me after you. Carla growls. Try to resist. Try to fight him. I growl. I can't. Behind you! Carla roars. I fly out of the way before he can have Carla hurt me. "I have you now, beast!" He says. Toothless! Stay back! I roar. When did this go so wrong. I wish that my life was back to normal. No hiding secrets, no dragons, no Berk. Just, normal. Shawn! Carla roars. Next, all I see is white and red, then black. Shawn! Siare and Toothless roar. Shawn! Oh, what have you made me do! Carla roars, taking control of her new form and protecting my limp body. "He's dead. I'm done with you, now," the clerk says, throwing something at Carla. Ah! What was that! Carla roars. "Your freedom, now that that Night Fury is dead," he says, leaving. Carla's back to her normal self and she's running over to my body. "Shawn! Shawn! Say something, anything!" Carla screams. "No," Carla's crying. With Toothless flying to Berk, Carla has Siare carry my body to her wrecked house. "Shawn!" Mom screams. "Is he okay?" Mom says. Carla's silent. He's- Siare starts. "No. Who- who did this?" Mom asks. With those words, Carla runs to her room, crying. She did. The bad man made her kill him. Siare

Growls. "What? Carla? She- she killed him?" Mom says, tearing up. It wasn't her fault. She was being controlled. Siare growls. "Lie him in this room here," Mom says. "I'm so sorry, Mrs. I- I didn't mean to," Carla says. "It's okay. It wasn't your move," Mom says. "I- I'm going to lie down in my room," Carla says. "This can't be happening," Mom says, hugging my limp corpse. May I have a moment? Siare growls. "Sure," Mom says. Shawn. She growls. Elsewhere, at Berk "Toothless! Hey, bud!" Hiccup says, obviously missing his friend. "What's wrong, bud?" Hiccup says, noticing the sadness in Toothless's eyes. Shawn. He's- he's dead. Carla killed him. Toothless growls. "Bud, I can finally understand you!" Hiccup says, then realizing what Toothless said. "Oh. No," Hiccup says, shocked. "What?" Astrid says. "It's Shawn," Hiccup says. "What about him?" Astrid says. "He- Carla killed him," Hiccup says. "What? But, why?" Astrid says. Carla was the Screaming Nightmare. She couldn't control her new body. That strange man that planted the Dragon Flower, he was the one who had control of Carla. Toothless growls, Hiccup relaying it to the others. Back home. No-one bothers being with my corpse. No-one except Carla. No-one except the girl who killed the guy she talked

To when no-one else did. "Why? Why did this happen? Why can't people just be as normal as people like Snotlout," Carla says. I don't know how, but, I feel an aching throughout my entire body. I mean, nothing, nothing was not aching. Then, as suddenly as it started, it stopped. Snotlout. I struggle to growl. Snotlout- isn't- normal. I manage to growl. "Shawn!" Carla screams, giving me a kiss. Seven weeks. I groan. "What?" It's been seven weeks since you first kissed me. I groan. What's all the- Shawn! Siare roars. Shawn! You're alive again! She growls, landing on top of me, giving me a hug, I think. I won't be if you do that again. I groan. Siare runs out of the room while Carla helps me out. "Shawn!" Mom screams. I keep her off me with my tail. No hugs yet. I'm still extremely weak. I growl. "Oh. I'm sorry," Mom says. It's okay. I growl. Having Carla lead me back into the room, she leaves, shutting the door so I can get some clothes on. "Siare. Go tell Berk that I live," I say. "When I regain my strength. Somebody is going to die," I say.
