Here is the 2nd Snatched one-shot. Enjoy!

Here is the Disclaimer:
This one-shot takes place in an alternate universe story called Snatched. The story is by starstruckdreamer1 and it explores a universe where Astrid was kidnapped as a toddler by Cloudjumper.
Snatched is a very good story to read and I highly recommend it. The author (I repeat) is starstruckdreamer1.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Awake in a New World

4-year-old Astrid slowly opened her eyes. She felt dreary all over. Dangling by a dragon's claws isn't the most comfortable way of going to sleep. And waking up in a dragon's nest – in the middle of a cave – isn't exactly the smoothest way to wake up either.

And speaking of dragons…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Once the poor youngling had completely gained consciousness, she realized that a Deadly Nadder was staring her straight in the eye. Her mother – oh, how she missed her mother – had told her that Deadly Nadders were very lethal. The dark purple and yellow colour patterns didn't help matters either.

Astrid scrambled out of the nest, desperate for a hiding spot. Her feet were bare (she was dressed up in her bedtime attire, after all) and the stone floor felt cold and hard. The Deadly Nadder stomped behind her, making her panic even more. She spotted a bed and struggled frantically to get up on it.

Behind her, the Deadly Nadder cocked its head and chirped in confusion. But poor Astrid still felt terrified.

"Please don't eat me!" she begged, tears now crawling down her face. A screech and a roar came from outside the cave and in came the dragon that kidnapped her, with a human by its side. The human (a woman, to be precise) rushed over and tried to soothe her.

"It's alright, it's alright dear," the woman said gently.

"Make them go away! Make them go away!" Astrid pleaded, digging further underneath the covers.

"Cloudjumper, you wouldn't mind hiding for a bit now, would you?" the woman turned to the Stormcutter, who rolled his eyes and backed away into the darkness. But the yellow and purple Nadder returned, scaring Astrid even more and making her cry harder.

"Firefly! What are you doing?" the woman whispered harshly to the Nadder, but the dragon just clomped closer to the bed and dropped a small yellow and blue ball.

The little ball uncurled and revealed itself to be the youngest of Firefly's children, Stormfly. The Nadder hatchling crawled over to Astrid and chirped at her. Astrid whimpered and shut her eyes tight, still slightly afraid, but slowly she reached out with her right hand to touch the baby dragon.

She was surprised when the baby dragon leaned forwards so she could touch her. The hatchling smiled at her and squawked ecstatically. Astrid giggled.

"You're very pretty," she told the hatchling.

Meanwhile, the woman bent down so that she could talk to Astrid.

"Now, little one, what's your name?"

"My name is Astrid."
