La la la, the usual I don't own HTTYD, no duh. And I thought up this fic while waiting for the Snotlout poster on 2/6/14 (and it didn't come). Oh and Romy (you know who you are) if your reading this I want you to know that you're awesome!
Hookfang knew his rider was dying.
It had all started the day when the black dragon's rider had gotten in a fight with his rider. He could remember the hatred-scent pouring off the other rider as he attacked his rider, yelling words of rage and hate, as the rider with the single braid watched horrified.
"Please Hiccup, stop!" Astrid yelled as she shoved Hiccup off Snotlout who was lying on the ground rubbing his chin and glaring at Hiccup. Hiccup was panting, exhaustion and rage crawling across his face as he looked down on his cousin.
Hiccup smiled cruelly and smugly said, "You don't belong here Snotlout. Not with that Snotmare of yours. And you? No one likes you, not even little Ruffnut." Hiccup knew he had scored a hit when he looked upon his cousin's hurt face. But he didn't expect to see his cousin's "Snotmare" dive down and smash into the ground an inch in front of his face, steam hissing from his nostrils as he growled angrily at Hiccup. But that momentary respite was all Snotlout needed for he leapt up from the ground, rage boiling in his ice-blue eyes, and viciously punched Hiccup in the face, sending him reeling and falling onto Astrid.
Astrid squeaked indignantly as she shoved Hiccup off her roughly, who protested weakly and tried to pull her closer to him; but she leapt away from his hold and ran after Snotlout. "Snotty! Wait up! Let's reason about this," she yelled as she chased after Snotlout, who had just leapt up onto Hookfang, and stopped a foot away from his dragon. "Come on 'Lout, he didn't mean it, Hiccup just got…um…angry I guess." Snotlout raised an eyebrow in a way that said seriously? You believe that, to which Astrid sighed, knowing that what Snotlout was suggesting was true.
Hookfang snorted at Astrid in response and whipped around so fast his long tail smacked into her and sent her flying into a tree. She shook her head, colors swirling maddeningly, and felt her hair get blasted into her face as Hookfang took off, red wings reaching for a new destiny for him and his rider.
Astrid felt a pair of arms wrap around her, and pull her up to a standing position. Astrid shook Hiccup off her and watched as her oldest friend flew away from her and Berk.
"Well Hooky where do you think we should go, huh?", Snotlout asked his dragon as they flew away from his old home onto a hopefully more joyful adventure. Hookfang growled playfully, and with a steamy hiss, threw his rider off his neck. Snotlout fell, screaming all sorts of swear words at his stubborn dragon, who seemed to be taking his sweet time watching some clouds shaped curiously like a Monstrous Nightmare.
With a loud splash Snotlout hit the ocean, and with a grunt of annoyance yelled out to his dragon, "Hey! Hooky, get your lazy butt down here before I freeze to death." At the word death Hookfang immediately dove down and gently pulled his friend out of the water, cooing softly, and worriedly, at him.
Snotlout laughed, his voice bubbling with happiness that none of his friends knew except for Hookfang. Hookfang rubbed his head against Snotlout, who looked down at his friend and muttered, "Let's go pal. Who knows we might even find some new dragons for you to make friends with huh?" Hookfang snorted sarcastically at Snotlout, who rolled his eyes at his stubborn, but lovable, dragon.
"Now, now, Azyru. Not yet. We must wait a little longer, and then Berk will be defenseless." A dragon-rider covered in shadow said to his large wyvern, who growled impatiently. Her mouth sparked as she watched the dragon leaving Berk and then with a cruel smile she turned to her rider and hissed happily.
"Yes, Azyru. One down and one to go, then we will have Berk to ourselves."
Azyru roared with laughter, as her rider smiled sinsiterly.
