Dragons, Mates, and Children
Chapter 1
I don't own How to Train Your Dragon.
"Astrid! Have you seen Toothless?" I asked, running up to the blonde.
"Sorry Hiccup. I haven't seen him for at least two days. Is he missing?"
"Yeah, I can't find him anywhere. I'm starting to get worried. I think I'm going to go for a walk, it might help me calm down a bit," I said, running a hand through my hair.
"Do you want some company?" Astrid asked, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"No, I just need to clear my head. I'll be back by dark," I said, heading into the woods.
...
It was an hour to sunset when I found him.
I had gone to the cove to look for Toothless. When I saw that he wasn't there, I wandered in the woods until the light began to fade.
As I made my way back to the village, I tripped over a log. And saw him.
He was laying under a huge pine tree. He had pale, pale skin and pitch black hair. His lower left leg was missing and he was skinnier than me.
I didn't know who this boy was, but I had to get him back to the village.
I carefully picked him up and his eyes flickered open. "Hiccup," he murmured, before passing out again.
I felt a shiver run down my spine. Who was this boy, how did he know my name?
I pushed my thoughts aside, focusing on carrying the boy back to the village
"Hiccup! Where were you? You said you would be back by nightfall!" Astrid asked, running towards me.
"Astrid, I can't explain right now. Get Jess and tell her to meet me at my house.
"Hiccup what happened? Who is that?" my father asked.
"I don't know. I found him in the woods when I was looking for Toothless. Astrid is getting Jess," I said, laying the boy gently on my bed.
"Hiccup, what happened? Are you hurt?" Jess asked as she came into the room.
"I'm fine. I found this boy in the woods. He's hurt. Can you help him?" I asked nervously.
"I'll try," she said, a determined look in her eyes.
