It all started on a broken night. A day that poor Melanie Crossroads will never forget. She was a happy girl before. Happy family, Good friends. No one knew what happened was to happen. Melanie never understood why her parents were so focused on dragon killing. They were so graceful, beautiful. Her parents buried themselves up to their knees in the habit of dragon killing. Every time there was a raid they would leave 4 year old Melanie in a locked house while they ran to catch up with the others. It was during this time that Melanie would crawl under her covers and flinch at the roars of dragons and human screams that filled so many nights.

Then on a humid day in the summer. A dragon, A mighty Nightmare, came into Berk while everyone was sleeping. The Nightmare tried to sneak into the sheep pen but was spooked by something unknown and had caught the crossroads house on fire.

Fire.

Smoke.

Melanie awoke from a beautiful dream only to be shocked from her drowsiness into reality by her house being engulfed in flames.

"Mommy! Daddy!" The young girl cried as she tried to escape her bedroom. The flames had, however, engulfed her door. She whimpered as the heat and smoke made her feel lightheaded.

The last ting she saw were bright green eyes and red scales that glistened in the fire before fainting in a world of black.

Her parents funeral was nothing but a day full of tears and clothes shrouded in black. Melanie, Only being four, did not want to be handed around like a cup of sugar, decided she would lie and pretended she was staying with an aunt and lived on her own. She had to grow up fast ,you see, But she was brave and stuck I out. But as her parents death became more real and memories started to fade, She became a social outcast and lost all friends and faith in herself. Her once friends now became her bullies.

11 years later Melanie was still a social outcast, Secret orphan, and a faithless woman. She had grown up to be a fine lady. With long brown hair that reached the middle of her back, freckles lined up her cheeks and green eyes that shone bright like emeralds shining in the sun. She was short, Shorter than Hiccup but was proud of her size, Though she did get bullied about it.

She was a lost soul, silently reaching out to someone, Anyone who was willing to….

Save a life.
