Hi guys, this is my first fanfiction and I'm really excited about it. This chapter starts off during Hiccup's final exam when Toothless saves him from the Monstrous Nightmare (Hookfang) and decides to take off.

"HICCUP! HICCUP! HICCUP!" The entire village was cheering for him! Hiccup couldn't hear them. All he could think about was the innocent beast he was going to have to kill.

"Hey, Hiccup" Hiccup was startled and turned around to find Astrid behind him. "Are you OK?" She asked concerned.

"No, not really...Hey Astrid?" Hiccup asked

"Yes?"

"If something goes wrong in the kill ring, just make sure they don't find Toothless, please?"

"I will. Just promise me it won't go wrong" She asked

Hiccup didn't relpy. Gobber blew the horn. It was time.

"Good luck out there lad!" Gobber wished him cheerfully

Hiccup slightly nodded.

The gate was opened and Hiccup chose a medium sized sword and shield.

"Interesting decision. I would have gone for the hammer" Stoick said to Gobber

"OPEN THE PEN!" Gobber yelled

The latch to the largest pen was opened. Hiccup knew what awaited him: The Monstrous Nightmare. The most ferocious of dragons. Suddenly, a large red colored dragon came out of the pen and lit itself on fire! It let out a huge roar and fired at Hiccup. Hiccup jumped out of the way just in the nick of time.

The Nightmare slowly started proceeding to Hiccup while Hiccup backed away. He looked into the dragon's eyes and knew that he couldn't kill this dragon. He stopped moving and dropped his sword and shield. He looked at his father who was surprised.

Slowly, he took off his helmet and said "I'm not one of them"

He reached out his hand and turned his head away. His father, Stoick rose up from his seat. Just as the Nightmare was about to trust the boy, Stoick took out his hammer and thrust it on the cage making a loud noise, while yelling "ENOUGH!"

The noise confused the Nightmare and turned around to see Stoick fuming while holding his hammer high. His wild instincts took control of him and charged at Hiccup.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Hiccup yelled

Meanwhile at the cove Toothless heard Hiccup's yell and immediately started clawing his way out of the cove. When he finally succeeded he started running to the source of the sound. He saw Hiccup being attacked in the kill ring and went to defend his rider at once.

A high-pitched whistle pierced through the air and multiple plasma blasts were fired at the Nightmare in an attempt to save Hiccup. The crowd of Vikings gathered their weapons and went to capture the legendary Night Fury.

"STOP! STOP! You don't understand! Don't hurt him please!" Hiccup begged

"HICCUP! Now is not the time! Go home immediately!" Stoick yelled

"NO!"

The entire crowd of vikings stopped trying to wrangle the Night Fury and stared in awe as a tiny toothpick of a viking yelled back at his father whom was also the chief.

"No Dad. I will not let you kill him. He is my best friend." He then turned to the crowd and said "Dragons are amazing, kind, caring creatures. We don't have to kill them"

"He tried to attack you!" yelled Stoick

"He was trying to protect me Dad!" Hiccup fired back

"They've killed HUNDREDS of us!"

"And we've killed THOUSANDS of them!" Hiccup took a step back to place a hand on Toothless's head, who cooed in response. "And if you all don't understand that then I'm leaving."

"No...son. Wait." Stoick looked desperate. He already lost Valka, He couldn't lose him too.

Hiccup sat on Toothless then turned to face his father. "I'm not your son anymore" Saying so, he took off on Toothless.

Everyone was so shocked that no one made an effort to stop him. Everyone started leaving all except for Stoick. It shocked him and made him realize that nobody really cared about Hiccup. Then he realized he had not been a good father. No, he had been a horrible, unkind, non-supportive father.

"Chief, you comin' ?" asked Gobber

Stoick merely shook his head

"All righty then" Having said that Gobber left

Once everyone was gone, tears started running down his face. Tears of shame and guilt. He had lost his only son forever.

"I'm so sorry Val" Stoick choked out as raindrops started to fall.

Little did he know that it would not be the last time he saw his son...

Well what do you think? I think I did OK seeing as this was my first ever chapter. I actually enjoyed writing the argument between Hiccup and his father. Please leave comments because I really want to know how I can improve this story!

The next chapter will be about Stoick receiving some news about his son, five years later. Until then though, bye!
