Chapter One
It happened so fast.
We were together. Flying through the air. Dipping, diving, swerving, free.
Hiccup and I had been together for a long time. I knew him. He knew me.
The clouds were nothing. The sun was in reach. The moon was our toy. Up in the air.
The world was above us, below us, above, below, side to side, in his hands, covered by my wings. Ours.
He wavered. I felt him, his body dipped to the right. I felt the head build up in his body.
He fell. A slave to gravity, as I was without him. Limp and unconscious, he was falling, and so was I.
Determined, I dove after him. Overcoming myself for him. Defying gravity for him.
I caught him. Struggled to fly. I could do it. I would. Or he and I would die, drown.
I found myself back in Berk. People everywhere. Grabbing Hiccup. Taking him. Away from me. I growled.
The girl was there, then, in that moment. "Come on, Toothless," she said in a soothing voice. "He would want you with him. He'll know you're there."
Hiccup slept. For the longest time. The moon rose and fell. The sun came and went.
The moon woke him up. Hiccup blinked. I blinked. He leaned over and threw a hug around me, and I closed my eyes.
My hearing picked up his father speaking. The blacksmith was there, too. Their words held fire in them.
The girl spoke. Astrid. Her words made my heart still.
"He's dying?"
A tear fell.
Hiccup looked at me, and I tried to look strong. He smiled.
"I know you too well, bud," he whispered. "Something's wrong with me, I know…"
I caught snippets of Stoick and Gobber talking.
"…artificial leg…"
"…infection, spread extremely fast…"
"…like a poison, it'll stop his heart…"
I did this.
"Hiccup's going to die."
I looked into Hiccup's eyes again. He smiled weakly.
"You wanna go flying, bud?"

Very short. But I wanted it that way. From Toothless's POV, very short, broken sentences. Please review! :D
