Alright, this is my second fanfic. Hiccup is female and is now named Ximena. I got that name from an eighth grader in my school. And Toothless is called Night Fly now, because I wanted the dragons to have original names.

Chapter 1: Leaving Home

I live on Berk. It's a small island in the middle of nowhere. Almost all the people who live here are Vikings. And when I say almost, I mean everyone but me. I am not exactly human. What I mean is, I am half dragon. Night Fury to be exact. I can change back and forth between human and dragon. But, my dad said that when I turn 16, I become permanently dragon. And I turn 16 tomorrow. It saddens me a little, but what nice things has this village done for me? Nothing. They have treated me like crap and anything I do here is wrong to them. Sometimes I look forward to turning into a dragon permanently. But I will miss Gobber. He's the blacksmith. He's the only one I talk to, besides my dad, and he is the only one who listens. It sometimes feels weird to have just one friend in the village, but he's a good one. Today is my last day as a human, so I decided to go talk to Gobber. I slipped on my white tunic, black leggings, black vest and brown boots, and headed out the door. I walked around in the darkness of the night and I ran into the blacksmiths area to talk to Gobber. He wasn't doing anything except putting away the last sword. It was and iron blade with a mahogany grip and sapphire borders.

"Gobber?" I asked walking in.

"Yes, Ximena?" replied Gobber. Yes I know. My name is weird for a Viking, but like I said, I am not a Viking. I am a dragon/human. And I am soon to be all dragon.

"I need to tell you something. But I'd rather tell you in private than out here. So can we go into my work area?" Gobber nodded and we walked inside to my work room. My desk was crammed with ideas for contraptions that would fail instantly. My charcoal pencil was on top of my worst contraption ever. It did absolutely nothing. Gobber pulled out a chair from my desk and I sat on my desk while moving my drawings out of the way. I sighed and looked at Gobber. "The thing is, my 16th birthday is tomorrow."

"Yes I have been waiting for this for years. Tomorrow is when we put you in dragon training! Your father and I are very excited!"

"Well, here's what you don't know. Remember when my mom was here?"

"Yes. Val was a good woman. A good fighter as well. But sadly, she died a few years after giving birth to you.

"Well, here's something else that I need to tell you. My dad told me this a year ago. He told me, that my mom took a remedy from Gothi to keep me alive while I developed because I wasn't strong enough on my own. She was supposed to take it every week but she took it everyday. She wanted me to be a strong fighter, but that's not what happened. When I was almost due, Gothi told my mom that the remedy was made out of, and I quote from my mom, '(insert curse word of choice here) NIGHT FURY SCALES!' Anyway, while I was developing, I had dragon DNA helping me out. Sadly, I am part, and I quote from my dad, 'devil', or dragon. When I turn 16, I permanently become a Night Fury. I don't know how it will happen, but you have to keep everyone away from me except you and my dad. If anyone sees me turn into a dragon, I am sure to be banished or killed. I will be sad to leave you and dad, but I will have no choice." My emerald eyes started to well up with tears.

"Ximena, why don't you go to sleep. It looks like it's 3:00 in the morning. You will probably need the rest. But none the less, you are going to be just fine. The best thing to do is probably follow what the rest of the dragons do. But, when you raid us, try not to kill us. Okay?" I nodded and gave Gobber a hug. Then I went back to my house to get some sleep. I walked into my room and saw my dad sitting on my bed. I walked over to my dad and sat next to him.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Maybe a little." he replied. I could tell he was sad. "When you turn into a dragon, make sure not to steal anything. And I am giving you permission to 'kidnap' Gobber and I just to say hello. So when you do kidnap us, take us into the forest. Oh, and before I forget, I want to give you something." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small gold bracelet that had the words, 'Haddock Family' on it. He held it out to me. "This was your mother's. She wore it everywhere she went. Put it on." I did as he said and the bracelet sank into my skin and left the words, 'Haddock Family' carved on my arm. I looked at my arm then at my dad. I gave him a hug and he left my room. Before he entirely left, he turned around and told me, "Love you, Ximena."

"Love you too, dad." He then turned around, closed the door and left my room. I sighed, looked out the windows and then slid under my blanket to get some sleep. I slowly fell asleep, dreaming about my dad, what my dad described about my mom and Gobber and how much I will miss them. It will probably kill me inside to leave my home, but there is nothing else I can do to protect myself from being killed by all the rest of the Vikings. I sighed and dreamed on. For tomorrow would be a new life for me.
