"I am so leaving." Hiccup said as he walked into the cove, his riding gear ready.
"Toothless! You and me, Bud. Taking a vacation, forever." Hiccup said with a sigh as Toothless jumped next to him and nuzzled his side affectionately.
"Hey there Bud. They want me to kill a dragon." Hiccup said to the Night Fury sadly. Toothless whined and nuzzled him again in comfort, knowing he didn't want to kill anything.
"Don't worry bud, tonight, before Dad gets home, we're gonna head to my room, pack my stuff, and head out. Maybe find an island where we can live in peace." Hiccup said with a sad smile as he scratched Toothless behind the ears. Toothless purred in happiness, both for Hiccup's plan, and being scratched by his rider.

The hours passed and soon enough, it was dark enough for Toothless to blend into the night sky. Hiccup and Toothless flew from the cove to Hiccup's house, in complete silence. They landed on the roof, and Hiccup quickly dismounted his dragon and hopped inside through the window, into his room. He grabbed a basket, and filled it with his belongings: his drawings of Toothless, a spare tailfin, charcoal, paper, his clothes, his tools and his new dagger.

When grabbing his dagger, he accidentally cut his hand, causing blood to drop on the floor. Hissing in pain, he grabbed a bandage and wrapped it around his hand. Toothless, having smelt the blood, rushed into the room to see if his friend was alright. He sighed in relief when he saw it was just a cut. Hiccup patted the dragon on his snout and hooked the basket to the saddle on the Night Fury's back.

"Is too heavy Bud?" Hiccup asked. Toothless nuzzled Hiccup, telling him it was fine. Hiccup nodded and mounted his dragon.
"Hiccup! I need to talk to you!" Astrid's voice yelled as Hiccup heard the front door open.
"Crap! Toothless, to the sky!" Hiccup hissed in panic. Toothless nodded and jumped out the window, not noticing the scales he left behind.


"Hiccup, how did you-" Astrid trailed off as she noticed the blood and scales. Her eyes widened in horror as she picked up one of the scales.
"No…" She whispered in horror.
"Night Fury…" She whispered in realisation as tears poured from her eyes. She may have been mad at the boy for besting her in training, but she didn't wish him pain! Much less death!
"How am I gonna explain this to Stoick?" She asked herself as she wiped her tears away. She usually never cried, but someone she actually cared about was dead, so she'd at least let the tears flow this time. At least no one would see.
"I will avenge you Hiccup, I promise." She swore with determination in her eyes as she went to tell Gobber. He can then tell Stoick. It's better if the boy's father hears it from someone close.


"Well Bud, you know any good islands? Far enough away from Berk?" Hiccup asked the dragon, who gave a small hum in response. Hiccup was never the guessing type, but he felt that Toothless said yes, so he clicked the tailfin's pedal, setting into a position where Toothless would control where they go, and just let the dragon fly in the direction he wanted.

About 6 hours later, Toothless landed on an island that was hidden behind a thick cloak of fog.
"This seems pretty good Bud." Hiccup mused as he looked around the island.
"Plenty of trees for wood and fruit, mountains for cover, and the Vikings will probably steer clear of the fog." Hiccup stated. Toothless cooed in agreement.
"Well, I guess we're here to stay then." Hiccup said with a smile. Toothless gave his rider a happy, gummy smile.
"Now, let's find some shelter." Hiccup said. Toothless nodded and they took off. After about 30 minutes of circling the island, they saw a cave opening on one of the higher spots of the mountains.
"This could be pretty good." Hiccup said as they landed in the cave.
"On the off chance this island gets found, one could only get here on a dragon, so it's a good spot to hide." Hiccup reasoned as he took all of the equipment off of Toothless.. Toothless barked in agreement and lay down, but not before warming up the ground beneath him with his fire. Hiccup chuckled and got his blanket out of the basket. He leaned against Toothless, who purred, and covered himself with the blanket. It wasn't long before our heroes fell into the quiet abyss of sleep.

A/N: So, thoughts? Any suggestions? I'm considering adding magic to this story. Making Hiccup a Warlock, or a Druid. Thoughts?
