Lost
Chapter One
Toothless wrapped his tail around the injured boy to keep him warm. The fall had rendered Hiccup unconscious and despite the dragon's efforts to cushion his friend's fall, Hiccup had been injured - a large gash lay on the side of his forehead and blood stained the side of his green shirt.
Toothless gazed up at the sky. Unless Hiccup regained consciousness and was strong enough to travel, there was only one way to get back to Berk - someone would have to come looking for them. Not knowing how long that would be, he knew the only thing he could do for his injured friend was to make him as comfortable as possible.
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
Astrid stood at the edge of the cliff and surveyed the sky. She knew Hiccup went on his morning flight with Toothless. It was their morning routine - every morning the two would fly off somewhere and return a few hours later. Today, however, Hiccup and Toothless had been gone longer than usual.
"What are you doing?" Ruffnut asked curiously as she approached with her brother.
"Waiting for Hiccup to get back," Astrid absently replied, her eyes glued to the clear blue sky above.
"He's probably already back," Tuffnut replied. "He's never gone this long."
Astrid finally turned her attention to the twins. "That's just it - he isn't back yet."
Tuffnut and Ruffnut glanced at each other. While they didn't keep track of their friend and his dragon like Astrid did, even they knew that Hiccup being gone this long was unusual.
"Well maybe he decided to stay out longer today," Ruffnut replied.
Astrid cast her eyes once again at the empty sky above. "Maybe. But I just get this strange feeling that something's wrong."
