Here is chapter one~ I do not own How To Train Your Dragon, I'm just in love with it. Hope you enjoy! :)
It wasn't a good feeling knowing that your son was on the back of a dragon that no one has ever seen before. It definitely wasn't a good feeling seeing him ride the dragon while battling the queen dragon, the biggest and scariest dragon any Viking has ever seen. All anyone could do was watch from the ground as the village misfit battled this thing. No Viking has ever felt so useless.
Stoick's heart was racing. Either Hiccup was going to manage to defeat this beast, or he was going to die trying. Odin help him.
The Vikings began to panic when they lost sight of Hiccup and the beast in the clouds. Did the queen dragon eat them? Suddenly, there were flashes in the sky. They could make out the figures of Hiccup and his dragon next to the beast. Everyone held their breath because they had no idea what was about to happen next.
The vikings watched as the queen came out of the clouds and crashed head first into the ground. A giant fiery explosion occurred and no one could see a thing. The beast was definitely dead. Was Hiccup? No one knew if Hiccup fell into the fire or if he was still in the sky on the Night Fury. Right as the fire died down, Stoick took off into the smoke to find Hiccup.
"Hiccup!" Stoick yelled as he looked all over. "HICCUP! SON!" Then, he spotted the Night Fury. He ran over to him. He dragon was out cold. Stoick noticed that he was missing a part of his tail. Worst of all, there was no rider on him or anywhere near him. Stoick realized that Hiccup was dead.
"Oh son." Stoick knelt down onto the ground. "I did this." He whispered to himself. All of the Vikings slowly gathered around Stoick and the dragon. They quickly understood that Stoick wasn't able to find Hiccup. He was dead.
The dragon started to come to. He opened his eyes and looked at Stoick.
"I'm so...I'm so sorry." Stoick said to the dragon. Sorrow filled the chief as he thought about the fact that he would never see his son again. Then, the dragon shifted and began to open his wings. Inside of his wings was the body of the 15 year old boy.
"Hiccup!" Stoick said with a hint of hope. He quickly grabbed him, threw his helmet off, and put his ear to Hiccup's chest to listen for life. There it was, the faint sound of Hiccup's heart beating. Stoick was filled with joy.
"He's alive, you brought him back alive!" Stoick exclaimed. He stared at Hiccup for a moment. His little Hiccup managed to defeat the scariest dragon Vikings have ever seen AND he managed to stay alive. All of the Vikings cheered. Who knew that the village screw up would end up being the hero? No one saw that one coming.
Stoick laid a hand on the dragon's head. "Thank you for saving my son." He said kindly. Gobber came over and saw Hiccup. "Well, most of him." He said. Stoick was confused. Most of him? He looked down at Hiccup's legs. One was missing.
"I need a doctor!" Stoick yelled. None of the other Vikings knew what was going on. The doctor ran out of the crowd and over to where Stoick was sitting with Hiccup and Gobber.
"There ya are. It looks like tha dragon bit his leg off." Gobber told the doctor. There were teeth marks in Hiccup's skin above the stump. Blood was gushing everywhere. The doctor ripped a piece of cloth from his own shirt and tied it around the stump as tight as he could to stop the bleeding.
"We need to cut more of his leg off, up to his shin. It's destroyed." The doctor said. Stoick got worried. He told Gobber to tell the other Vikings to begin repairing the ships.
Gobber did what the chief told him to do. "Don't just stand there, start workin on those ships! They aren't gonna repair themselves!" Gobber yelled as he walked over to the Vikings. They immediately got to work, except Astrid.
"Gobber, what's wrong with Hiccup?" She asked, looking very concerned.
"The poor boy lost his leg. That beast of his bit it right off." Gobber told Astrid.
"His name is Toothless." Astrid told Gobber. She didn't like hearing him call Toothless a beast.
"Doesn't seem very toothless to me." Gobber said. He walked over to the chief and left Astrid to worry about Hiccup's wellbeing.
"The men are hopping right to it." Gobber informed the chief.
"Good. Hiccup needs to get home right away." Stoick said. "Start a fire and get me a sword. We gotta cut the rest of this off."
"Let's find a better place to put him first." Suggested Gobber. They found an area with a large flat rock. Stoick laid Hiccup down on it and straightened out his damaged leg. Thank Odin Hiccup was unconscious for this.
Gobber got a fire started and Stoick gave his sword to the doctor. Stoick was used to seeing blood and mangled body parts, but he just couldn't bare seeing his own child's. There was no way he could bring himself to bring that sword down to finish the job.
The doctor heated the sword in the fire. Even he was a bit nervous for this. He has only been a doctor for about a year and he has only had to do this once before. It wasn't easy.
Stoick held Hiccup down in case the sudden pain would wake him up and make him jump and scream. It has happened before. The doctor got into position and raised the sword above his head. Stoick closed his eyes as the doctor brought the sword down onto Hiccup's leg. Hiccup's eyes shot open and he screamed louder than Stoick has ever heard anyone scream. Stoick actually struggled to hold Hiccup down. He continued to scream and move until the pain caused him to slip back out of consciousness. The doctor tied the cloth back around Hiccup's stump. He managed to do a pretty good job. It was a nice clean cut. Stoick then took off his fur cloak and wrapped Hiccup in it.
"What's the word on those ships?" Stoick demanded.
"I overheard some of the men say that one should be done by night fall." Gobber reported. Then, Astrid came running over.
"Astrid, help the doctor with whatever he needs, Gobber and I need to help with those ships."
"Sure thing." Astrid responded. The chief and his best friend took off to help the other Vikings.
"Is there anything you need?" Astrid asked the doctor.
"Water. Lots of it." He responded. Astrid ran onto one of the burned ships to fetch a barrel of water. She struggled to bring it back to the spot where Hiccup was because of how heavy it was, but she managed. The doctor cut the top off of the barrel with a sword and dipped a clean cloth into it. He placed it on Hiccup's head.
"He's already getting a fever. That's not a good sign." The doctor told Astrid. She began to worry. His bleeding had slowed down, but he looked awful. The doctor then took another piece of cloth, dipped it in the water, and began washing away all of the blood. Astrid ran off and grabbed another barrel of water just in case. She noticed that one of the ships was very close to being finished. Stoick looked like a madman trying to finish that boat as fast as he could.
Astrid returned with another barrel of water and noticed that Hiccup was extremely pale. He lost so much blood. She placed the barrel next to the other one and sat next to Hiccup. "Don't worry Hiccup, you'll be home soon." She whispered to him.
