Thoughts of Guilt: Chapter 6: Something is Wrong
Finally have chapter 6 done. I think this book as a whole is the best I've ever written. I think I've come a long way in just two complete stories.
I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Thunderdrum: Sonarus (Aka: Sonus) - Male -
Bio:
My second dragon, Sonarus was sorta of a pain. Since from when he was born, he was very wild and crazy, and even more hyper.

Whispering Death: Thunder Quake (Aka: Da King, Da Racing Champ) - Male -
Bio:
I found his egg in the tunnels, and Hiccup let me keep him. When he hatched, he looked at me for one second, and then, well, decided he wanted to be free. He jumped out of the stables, and started slithering to the forest. I chased him, freeing him from bushes, rescuing him from drowning, and TRYING to feed him when he was hungry. One day, a wild smokebreath appeared, and for some reason, Da King thought he was, "The King", and decided to take him on. He started dealing blows to it, but the smokebreath won in the end. Before it laid the final blow, though. I jumped and used myself as a human sheild. It hurt, but I was fine. I called in Sonarus, and he saved us. He put his trust in me, and I have helped him ever since.

Bio:
Kinda weird... Ok, so, I went to trader Johan's eggs, and found a dragon egg chest. I asked him could I buy it, since I had just enough gems. So, he said yes, and I got a rumblehorn! Yay! One of my most favorite dragons! Excitedly, I took it home, and put it in the hearth. Later on, I checked on it, and hatched it... then, to my surprise, a baby zippleback popped out! What?! I looked at it, it looked at me, and it was silent for a few minutes. Ok... weirdness attack. Whatever, he's still a baby dragon. I held it, and it's left head turned toward the sunrise in the distance. So I called the left one Sunrise. We played for a bit, then the sun was setting!

So that's why Sun Rose leaves one a year, she's going to visit her sister, Mooonstone. How did I know this? I saw it myself. When she left, me and Thunderquake went to she where she went every year (Yeah, kinda like a stalker, but who knows if she goes mental and starts killing everything? Actually, TMI), she flew into a cave. I waited until night, and suddenly, a silver nadder appeared, and flew out. It came back at dawn, and after it went in, Sun Rose went out. They did this, then I couldn't take it anymore. I need to find out who this dragon is. I crept in, and the Silver Nadder shreiked, then flashed it's wings at my face. Startled, I stepped back. It snarled, and backed away. I decided another plan. When I saw Sun Rose, I signaled her to come to me. She first, well, was startled, then frightned. After face-palming myself, I tossed a fish on teh ground. She ate it, and after gaining her trust, I stepped in the cave with Sun Rose, and soon enough, I found out that this new dragon was Sun Rose's sister, and I took her home.

Typhoomerang: Topspin (Aka: Big guy, Wirlwind, FOOOM) - Male -
Bio:
This one is a sad one... So there was this typhoomerang that I knew very well. We met in a forest, and even though we were friends, I didn't tame him. Dunno why I didn't, he was awesome. So, a few months late, he found a mate and they had a baby typhoomerang. Then suddenly, his mate died. I felt very sorry for him, and because he had to feed the baby, he left the baby typhoomerang with me. We formed a bond, but in the Chilling Horror month, he went to get some fish... and never came back. I waited for days, and I fed the baby myself with some perch. My friend never came back, so I chose to adopt the baby myself. At night, he would have terrible nightmares, and he would go to my room and sleep with me. He had a serios fear of Backbiter, and I was sorta heartbroken that even though Backbiter wanted to play with Topspin and wanted to stick with him, Topspin always was scared of him and either attacked or flew away. But I know, that one day, the nightmares will pass, and the two dragons will grow to respect each other. My typhoomerang... my Topspin.

Always cautious, Defensive, Always on the lookout, Active

Sandwraith: Sandstorm (Aka: Puppy Dragon, He-who-burrows) - Male -
Bio:
It's funny how a fishing trip can befriend a dragon. So I was spending some time on my own (Raising a ton of dragons is tough, I need a break), and I was fishing and camping out on the beach. I just caught a bunch of halbut and salmon, and I was frying a salmon. *Growl* Huh? I looked up, then left and right. I then felt the ground move, and I looked down. Two eyes stared back up... "YAH! WHAT ON EARTH?!" I jumped back. At that time, I never knew what a sandwraith was. I'm new here, ok? The sandwraith exploded form the sand, and looked at me. Silence for a few seconds... then he wadled to my basket of fish and started eating everything like he didn't care. "Hey! That's my fish!" He didn't listen, and ate all of it. He then turned, and studied me. He looked like a nightfury, so I was intrigued. He then jumped and flopped on me and started licking my face. "You're like toothless!" I laughed, and he licked some more. "Hey, boy! Stop it!" He kept on licking me, and he soon decided that follow me was a better option than chilling in the sand waiting for who-knows-what to go over him. Smart kid.
Personality:
Playful, Smart, Seems to always be hungry
Favorite Food:
Salmon (DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FISH FOR ONE?! *shouts at Sandstorm, he licks me and wadles away.)
Favorite thing to do:
Act majestic

First dragon I knew nothing about in the beginning.
Seashocker: Aquashock and Waterskiz (Aka: Zapduo) - Male -
Bio:
So, a few days ago, I received a present. Not sure who sent it, or why, but I got it. It was wraped in colored leather, and when I opened it, I found an egg. I couldn't tell the species though. It was colored in multicolors, with "Thanks Hyrith" written in bright yellow paint. I shrugged. The only way to find out the species is to hatch it. When I picked it up, I was shocked. No, not the suprised shock. The lightning shock. I fumbled with it, and Telsabeam jumped from the roof. I think she sensed it was a skirll, so I shuddered. I don't have anything against skrills, just after Telsabeam almost burned down my house becasue she saw a fly, I've been a bit careful with her. I do not need another crazy lightning-maniac shooting around my house. I ploped it down on the hearth, and after a few minutes, it shook. I picked it up, and took it to the lavepit for it to hatch. It never did. It just shook, but it never came out. Just before Telsabeam was about to crack it open, Waterspout stared at the egg, and shot a small stream of water. The water touched it, then it cracked. Puzzled, I dipped my hand in water, and touched the egg. Where I touched, it cracked. Then, I actually figured out something. I took the egg to the sea, and placed it under the water. It shuddered, then a seashocker was born. I was extremly happy, and I thought all my dragon were too. Well, except Telsabeam. She grumbled a sign of disappointment, and wadled away. XD
Personality:
Aquashock is agressive and fierce. Extremly loyal, and will attack anything that he thinks is harming me.
Waterskiz is playful and wild. He loves doing tricks, and is usually the reason why they have so much scars. For some reason, he's addicted to shrimp.
They both work together as a team, probabily because they know that if they argue, they won't go anywhere.
Favorite Food:
Aquashock: Squid
Waterskiz: Shrimp :\
Favorite thing to do:
Bounce on the waves, SO FUN WHEN RIDING THEM!!!

We Are Not Alone, A Chinese and Western Crossover (Later on)
5 months after Hyrith disappeared...
"Who's there?" Jin sat up on his bed. It was 12 in the night, and most of the academy was asleep. The footsteps sounded louder this time. Jin pushed away the covers, and put on his combat glove. As soon as his hand slipped in, a small flame sparked in his palm. The footsteps stopped, and a creaking sound was heard. Silence. He waited for a while, and figuring that there was nothing, slipped off his glove and pulled the covers over his head.
"AHHHHHHH!" A scream peirced the cold air, and Jin fell out of his bed. In a hurry, he shoved the glove over his hand, and opened the door. He lit his glove, and the flame ignited in his hand. Across the balcony, a hooded dark figure stepped out of a room. Jin stood in a battle stance. The flame in his palm grew into a fireball, and Jin shouted to the figure.
"Who are you? Take off the hood!"
The hooded man turned to Jin, and removed his hood, revealing an old man with a long white, whispy beard. The fireball died down. "Master Zhang?"
"Yes, my young student. Why are you here? You should be in your room sleeping, not outside watching the snow fall."
"I woke up because of the scream. Did you hear it too? Did someone get hurt?"
"That was the reason I came, young one. Go to bed, the final practices starts tomorrow. Do you want to get the blade or not?"
"Yes master, but safety is more important. Mind if I investigate with you?"
JIn bowed, and the old master smiled. "Jin, investigate this floor. I'll take the top and bottom floors. Meet after 5 minutes." Jin looked at his old master. He was not usually that kind, but Jin shook that thought out of his mind. He needed to see if someone was hurt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Found anything yet?" Master Zhang glared at Jin, and he looked into the final room. Another sleeping student. "Nothing, master." Master Zhang looked at him, and smiled. "Well, I think it's settled. Let's have a seat, shall we?" Jin shrugged. The master jumped, and sat on the railing. Jin climed up to him.
"Anything, Master?"
"Nothing yet, child. Forget this. It's a good night to be alive, is it?"
"Yes, I agree. You checked every room?"
"Every room, youngling. How about you-" A howl penetrated the air. A Howler flew towards Master Zhang, and the yellow and black dragon growled. Wait. Jin looked at the Howler, and noticed something. That was Dai Pow, Icarus's dragon. He never submitted to anyone, not even the master, except Icarus. Dai Pow circled Master Zhang. He glared at him, and then glared at Zhang. He kneeled, and Zhang grumbled under his breath. "Curses. Stupid howler." He then looekd at Jin. "Let me see Dai Pow first." He jumped off the railing, and Jin looked as he kneeled and clasped the wingless dragon's head, speaking some words. JIn nudged myself over, then he felt something. JIn looked down, and he saw blood on the railing, where the master's hand was. Sticky, freash blood.
The last room...
Jin shoved past the master, and to the final room. He didn't check it, since it was the room the master came out of. Jin ran past, and saw a stream of blood running from under the door. He slammed it open, and he gasped in shock.
Mei Hua layed dead in her bed, a large bloody gash in the middle of her chest. Her mouth was open in shock. Jin ran to her, and noticed that the blood was freash. Impossible! The master just was in here! Master Zhang would never commit such a crime! A hand then went over Jin's shoulder, sending a chill up his spine. The master glared at him, his mouth curing into a evil grin. Shocked, Jin tried to speak. "What? How? WHY?!" The master smiled. "Yes, Jin. I am the one. Sorry, but I can't have any witnesses." Suddenly, Master Zhang's form flickered, and instead of the Master from before, a red haired boy, stood in his place. He suddenly jabbed his palm at Jin's chest. A blade then shot out, coming out of Jin's back. Jin gasped, and he fell to the ground. His vision slowly filled with black dots, and he thought his last thought.

Thoughts of Guilt
Chapter 6
Something is Wrong
When I went into the water, not more than a second later did my legs hit the sea floor. I was not expecting that and it took me by surprise. My body jerked back, then I felt a sharp blow hit my head, now my body went limb and numb; I was probably going to pass out now. After I hit my head, my body turned to the right a little bit. I started floating further down deeper into the open sea. I felt my eyes starting to close, but I fought to keep them open. I could only do so for a few seconds before they started to close. Right before they were shut, I saw a huge splash in front of me and a figure swimming after me.
I started to think but never finished, “Help. An-.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened my eyes and started to cough out water. I felt a soft, though wet hand touch on my head that seemed to have been propped up.
“Jarl, Jarl! It is alright,” came a voice that was coughing almost as much as I was. It was a girl’s. “I’m here.”
I kept coughing. All my vision was blurred for I couldn’t recognize her face and I could barely make out the girl’s hair. Even her speech was unrecognizable, I think that was because of my hit on my head. Her hair though was draped over me and was dripping wet. It was a darker brown, a light reddish tint.
“What? Who?” I managed to say.
“Don’t try to speak Jarl,” said the girl’s voice, with several coughs of her own. “Just rest. Help will be here.”
I heard a lot of commotion getting louder, but I found myself passing out again.
The girl screamed, “No. Jarl. Ja-!”
After what seemed like only a few seconds, I opened my eyes. When my eyes finally adjusted after being knocked out, I realized I was in my room. But something did not feel right. I felt the back of my head. No pain.
“Okay,” I said to myself. “This is not right. This must be a dream of some kind.”
I got out of bed and walked down stairs. I called out for my family, but no one responded. I searched the house and no one was here.
“This is very strange,” I said out loud. “It is also a little creepy too because I can remember the race and plunging into the water and hitting my head. So either I’m dreaming or I got knocked out harder than I thought, though if it is the latter, I don’t think I’d be in my house.”
I then walked outside. There was not a sound to be heard.
“Now this is definitely a dream,” I said. “When is Berk ever this quiet?”
I walked a little ways and then thought to myself, “If this is a dream and I imagine what’s in the dream, then I can fly.”
I started running and jumped up into the air….
Splat: Face-planted.
“Oh come on!” I cried out. “Wait, no pain? Again? This now getting very weird… I don’t know if I like this.”
I started running up the path way and saw the racing stands with vikings still in them. As I got closer I notice something peculiar.
No one was moving! Everyone was frozen in time!
“Okay, this just leapt off the weird scale onto a high recording on the creepy scale.”
Everyone had a worried look on their face and were looking down past Turn One. I saw where my friends and family were sitting. My mother and father were frozen in mid-air. It looked like they were jumping out of the stands.
“Oh I get it now. This must be what I saw right before I went into the water after my stirrup broke. Some of this my conscience probably concocted and imagined what everyone would be doing when I fell off Fredrick.”
I started running towards the edge of the stands and saw what everyone was looking at. It was me falling, but frozen, through the air.
“Now how am I going to get up there?”
Suddenly I heard a dragon shriek.
“Oh now this cannot be good. If I haven’t heard a sound to this point this can’t be good.”
I recognized the dragon to be Ohmarr’s Zippleback. For some reason I started running away, but something was keeping me from making any progress.
Then with a loud, thunderous voice, Ohmarr shouted, “Hey Jarl! Are you ready to ‘fall’ behind… For good?!”
I still kept running away, but it seemed like I had no control over my body. The Zippleback came full speed at me and ran right into me, knocking me off the side of the stands… falling again. I heard a continuous laugh from Ohmarr, though it did not sound like his voice. I hit the water, although I kept getting pulled under by something. I kept struggling because I was running out of breath and closed my eyes. I kept sinking, and sinking, and sinking…..
Suddenly I gasped for air and started to cough.
“I’m here, I’m here!” came a girl’s voice. She grabbed my right hand. “It’s alright. You’re safe now. Mrs. Mollerson, come quick!”
I felt the girl’s hand let go of mine as I heard several footsteps come in along with my mother’s voice saying, “Oh Jarl I am so glad you woke up. I was getting so worried.”
My coughing had subsided some and was able to answer, “I’m fine now mother.”
“That’s good to hear. I was getting worried too, son,” came my father’s voice. “You had been unconscious for over a full day.”
After my coughing had stopped, “What?! Where am I?”
“You’re on Berk, stupid,” said a voice. I could not see where it came from, but just from what she said, I knew it was Asvord’s.
“Well thanks of that, I know that, and you knew what I meant,” I just smiled as I sat up. “Ahh.. oo.. my head.”
The voice I heard earlier said, “Just take it easy, Jarl.”
“Yeah Jarl, take it easy,” came a different voice who I recognized to be Elsa’s. “This is like the second longest you’ve ever slept.”
“Haha,” I chuckled. “Very funny.”
After rubbing the back of my head a few times, I looked up straight ahead.
I was shocked. Well maybe not shocked, stunned. Well then maybe not stunned as much, but for sure surprised. Well…
“Annabeth?” I said. “Why…”
Mother interjected, “After we saw you fall off Fredrick, your father and I jumped out of the stands and start to run to Fintan. But before any of us could react as fast, Annabeth swooped on Star Scream over all of us and dove bomb into the water. She jumped off her dragon dove into the water after you. Sigvald and I got on Fintan and flew down to the shoreline. It took us a couple of minutes to get there, but Annabeth had been under the water for more than a minute and you had been under longer than that. Several others on dragons followed. By the time we landed Annabeth had brought you up to the surface and had brought you to the shore. She was sitting on the shore and had her arm behind your head, propping it up. She herself had inhaled some water and was coughing almost as much as you were at the time, Jarl. Your father and I rushed over to pick you up Jarl and carried you over to Fintan. As Sigvald picked you up, I stopped to check Annabeth out, but brushed me off to go take care of Jarl.”
Mother continued, “We then took you to the house, which was nearby thankfully, and Gothi was within minutes of us arriving at home helping Sigvald and I minister imitate care for you in my bedroom. When Gothi was done she said that you were going to be fine; you just needed some rest. We got it more from her body language then her drawings as Gobber wasn’t there. Soon after we had heard that, Annabeth came to our house, still soaking wet and coughing still from the rescue. She wanted to know if you were alright. We told her that you were and I insisted that she get out of her wet clothes and get some rest of her own. But she wouldn’t budge. I at least got her to change into some of Asvord’s clothes. Right after she did that she went into my bedroom, and didn’t come out.”
Father finished, “Gothi said we could do nothing more and it would be better for you, Jarl, to rest in quiet. So Gothi insisted that we all go back to watch the other race yesterday. But before your mother left, she quickly made some broth soup for Annabeth, though she never touched it as the bowl was still sitting on the bench at the foot of the bed and she was still sitting on a chair next to you in bed, Jarl. Annabeth probably never left your side.”
A few moments had gone by before mother noticed Annabeth, “Why don’t we all go outside for a minute.”
Father asked, “Why?”
Mother lightly kicked him in the shin and said, “So I can put some ointment on your shin there.”
When everyone had exited the room and had gone outside, I said, “That was ‘subtle’.”
“Yeah,” Annabeth replied. She walked around the edge of the bed and sat right next to me.
I moved up and sat next to her on the edge of the bed. I grimaced a bit as my legs were pretty sore. I assured Annabeth I was fine. Then I said in response to her last remark, “There is something wrong, isn’t there.”
Annabeth answered, “Yes there is. Not until I saw you fall off Fredrick did I realize how ‘far off’ I’ve been. When I finally got you to the shore, the only thing I could think about was you.”
I gently asked, “So what is wrong, Annabeth?”
“I’m still not quite sure myself,” she answered. “But it has something to do with this.”
She pulled out from her pocket a necklace that had a palm-sized medallion attached to it, there is an interesting symbol on it too.
“I forgot I actually had this necklace with me,” she added. “I was cleaning out one of my clothes crates when I found this in the pocket of the same outfit I was wearing the day I arrived on Berk.”
Being curious about the symbol, I asked the question. Annabeth told me that it is her family’s clan symbol. A tear stroked down her right cheek when she said that it the necklace is from her family.
Annabeth went on to say, with a noticeable tone that you could obviously see and hear she is upset and was starting to cry, “Not that I don’t think about my family often, it was just a flood of memories came back that I hadn’t thought about for a long time. That was probably why I was so secluded, for my heart was back on my family’s island. I wanted to stay there. Every time someone would talk to me or I had to do something else, it would take me away from being back on the island; and I didn’t want that because I want to remember them as much as I can. It almost felt as if they were really here again. Sometimes, like you found out, I would go back to the same spot where you guys found me for the first time. Ever since I found the necklace, there has been something pulling and nagging at me to go back, way more than usual. It almost feels like something from my home is close by, but I can’t see it, then it feels so far away.”
Annabeth had been looking down at the medallion on the necklace the entire time, until now she looked up at me, “I’m very sorry if I haven’t been much of a friend to you, Cazi, or anybody lately.”
I comforted her, “It’s fine, Annabeth. We were just worried about you and wanted to make sure you were alright.”
I paused for a moment, then said as I touched her right shoulder with my right hand, “Thank you… for saving my life.”
“Oh,” she said humbly. “If it wasn’t me, it would have been someone else.”
I said in all seriousness, “I know it was more than ‘you happened to be the first to get to me’ kind of thing. After what you just told me, it is a big deal what you did for me….. Thank you.”
I reached out and hugged her. She was a little surprised by that, but then hugged me back; actually squeezed back a little tighter than I hugged her.
While still hugging her, I said in a soft tone in her right ear, “To figure out this mystery of yours: We will do it… Together.”
Annabeth wiped away her tears with a handkerchief I gave her. Yes, it was not used.
“Are you hungry?” Annabeth asked with a cheerier tone I had not heard from her in a while.
I responded with a resounding, “Yes. I could probably eat a whole yak.”
“Well you are in for a treat,” she said. “The tournament feast is on tonight. It should almost be about ready to start.”
“Almost ready to start?” I declared. “How long have I been out?”
“Like what was said before,” Annabeth replied as she initially helped me stand up because I have been in bed for so long. “You were out longer than a full day.”
I shook my head as we walked out the door and then outside. I opened both doors for Annabeth. Annabeth mentioned to me that Gothi said I needed to stay on the ground for at least today. She advised longer, but knew I would not stay in bed for very long. It was nearly night time as the last few rays of the sun were shinning over the horizon. Fredrick came rushing over as he was waiting outside my window. He was extremely happy to see me. I petted and rubbed him hard and told him I was alright. Fredrick just rumbled then snorted at me. I just saw Asvord and my father standing outside talking to some neighbors. When they saw us coming out they came over and said that mother and Elsa had gone on ahead to save us a spot for the feast tonight.
Fredrick started walking with us towards The Great Hall when my father then abruptly stopped and said, “Oh, I uh.. forgot something. Uh, I’ll.. uh… catch up to you guys later. See you.”
With that my father walked off in the opposite direction. That was a little strange for my father, so besides my headache I had, I was thinking of where my father would have gone.
