Hi guys! Well I was really uncertain about posting it because I didn't know if it is any good but since Master Motivation out there motivated me to do it... Here it is: The first chapter of The Boy Who Runs With Dragons.

It is obviously going to be Hijack and by the looks of my preparation also slight Buckteeth (Bunny and Toothless) I'm just gonna leave the first chapter and if you have any question just ask me in the reviews or per mail :)

I'm gonna rate it M because I think it might get a little dark and violent and who knows ;)


The Boy Who Runs With Dragons

Chapter 1:

Toothless was running as fast as he could. Hiccup sat on his back, his body pressed against Toothless' body as arrows flew through the air. One arrow had already pierced through the dragon's tailfin, making it impossible for him to fly away. The human's breath was heavy and Toothless could practically smell the fear rolling of in waves from the small boy. They had come close to hunters before but never to the point where the hunters would have noticed them and hunt the two. They had freed a terrible terror from a trap when the hunters started shooting at the two.

Another arrow shot through the sky and Toothless let out a painful growl when it hit his shoulder barely a few inches from Hiccup's hand. Hiccup squealed when Toothless suddenly stopped and he was thrown of his back.

"Toothless?" Hiccup asked worried. He quickly got on his feet and ran to his best friend. "Are you okay?" The boy grabbed the arrow with both hands and pulled it out only to see that the tip of it was soaked with eel-poison. Hiccup cursed. Eel-Poison has the ability to bring dragons back to their human form. Toothless soon was changing back into his human self. Hiccup grabbed his rucksack and opened it to pull out a pair of pants and a t-shirt for his friend. Toothless grunted as he changed because of his hurting shoulder but they had to hurry and get away. Hiccup supported him as good as he could but this was rather difficult because Toothless was taller than Hiccup.

"Go," Toothless grunted and tried to get out of Hiccup's grip "I'm only slowing you down!"

Hiccup refused to leave his friend behind and rushed forward without feeling the need to respond to his best friend. He could hear the cry of the hunters behind them. He was running as fast as his feet could carry him. He was running without looking where he was going and so it happened that the situation got even worse. He heard the snap of the trap as it closed around his left leg and his scream could be heard from far away. Toothless fell down next to him. He looked at the human, terror on his face. "H-Hiccup," he mumbled and tried to open the trap. Tears were running down their faces and now it was Hiccup's turn to mumble, "G-Go." But just as Hiccup had done, so did Toothless. He wasn't going anywhere without his best friend. Hiccup sobbed into Toothless' shoulder while the dragon still tried to free his friend of the trap. The arrow rain stopped and so did the footsteps. The hunters had reached their pray.

"A boy and his dragon," one of the hunters said and it was the last thing either of them could remember.


"Jackson?"

The boy looked up from his math homework which was making no sense at all. Like always. His uncle Pitch stood in the doorframe, his face showing no feeling like it did often. "Hm?" he asked.

"How is it going with your homework?" his uncle asked. Jack had lived with his uncle since he was a small kid. His parents had died in a car crash and Pitch had been the only one capable of taking him and his half-brother, Aster, in.

"Oh good," Jack lied "It's going good. So much fun."

There was a short silence but Pitch nodded then. "Alright," he said "It's your birthday tomorrow."

"I know that…," Jack answered shortly. His relationship to Pitch was not the best but they were okay. Pitch only had a very different style of living than Jack. Everything about Pitch was serious and boring. Jack simply wished that Pitch wouldn't pay so much attention on Jack's grades and his friends and what he did in his freetime.

"I invited a few people over… so that we can celebrate a little bit," Pitch explained "And maybe after that we could talk about your first hunt. You're going to be 18 after all. You're going to love it."

"Oh…," Jack simply answered. He had known for a long time that Pitch wanted him to become a hunter. Just like he had wanted Aster to be one. "Okay…"

"I'll sent Stormfly up with something to eat," Pitch turned around and left the room, leaving Jack with his homework and his thoughts. He knew that it was bound to happen that he would end up being a hunter. Pitch was one of the most well-known hunters of that century. He made his living with hunting dragons down, creating traps and selling dragons on the market. He even kept a few in his house. His business made him rich and allowed Jack and Aster a good education at a private school (with silly uniforms and everything) and they lived in a huge mansion. Jack didn't want to complain. Pitch could fulfil his every wish. He always had the newest video games, consoles, movies… Jack only saw himself in a whole different light than Pitch did. He knew that dragons were dangerous and that they needed to stay under the control of humans but he didn't want to hunt them. He wanted to do something with children and something that actually sounded like fun. He sighed slightly when there was a knock on his door and one of Pitch's dragon servants hushed inside. All of the dragons had to be kept in their human form which was allowed by something called eel-poison even though Pitch referred to it as medicine. The dragon, her name was Stormfly carried a tray with sandwiches and set it down on Jack's desk.

"Would that be all?" she asked quietly. Pitch had trained them well, letting them know that they better behaved well. Even though his uncle always told him how dangerous dragons were, he made sure that they could be around his family without them feeling uncomfortable. "I'm good," Jack said and smiled slightly. Stormfly nodded and straightened her brown tunic. All of the dragons in Pitch's mansion wore the same short brown tunic and a beige apron where they could store small things. They also wore a dark brown leather collar which could send electric waves through their bodies if one of them ever thought about attacking Jack or anyone else.

"Call for me, Master Jackson if you need anything," Stormfly said and left the room.

Jack nodded to himself, grabbed a sandwich and got back to his math homework.


The next day turned out to be amazing. Jack's friends at his school had made him a cake which they ate together at lunchtime. He also had got a bunch of presents from them and now he couldn't wait to get home to see what Pitch and Bunny had prepared for him. He had already loosened the tie of his school-uniform when he entered the house and got rid of his jacket a moment later. It was really quiet in the house but it always was. The white haired teenager shrugged off his shoes and went into the living room where he was greeted with a shot of confetti to his face. He let out a surprised squeal. His brother grinned and ruffled his hair while wishing him a happy birthday. A moment later he pushed a present in Jack's hand. Jack thanked him and opened it as quickly as a little child would have. The wrapping paper flew everywhere. Soon a box was revealed and inside Jack found a small golden box. It had a pretty pattern on top with green and blue diamond shaped stones. On the side was his picture before he had dyed his hair white. He stroked over the top, wondering what it was when he realized that the middle stone was a little loose. He pushed it and the top of the box opened and revealed a small dagger. It was probably a hunter thing but Jack still thought that it was pretty cool.

"Thanks," Jack said, looking at his half-brother.

"Don't mention it," Aster replied and then moved away to make space for Pitch. The tall man walked straight to Jack and laid one hand down on his shoulder. Jack looked up at him, waiting for what he had to tell him.

"You're a man now," Pitch started "You're first hunt is coming closer as we speak but this is for a different day."

His uncle smiled and took a step back "But I still thought that you should have some experience with dragons."

Pitch looked at the door and called :"Bring them in," before turning to Jack "Happy birthday Jackson."

One of Pitch's dragon servants, Hookfang, brought in two new people. He pulled them in using leashes that where attached to their brown collars. One of them was a tanned boy that was maybe a few years older than Jack. He had silky black hair that reached his shoulders. Like all the dragons, he was wearing a brown tunic and no shoes. He stood protectively in front of his friend but Jack could still see him. The first thing he noticed was the slavemark on his head. It was a thin dragon which was shaped like an 'S', that stood on his temple for everyone to see. His auburn hair was covering it a little though. The slavemark was only put on the foreheads of those humans that worked with dragons. Pitch had told him that they were even worse than dragons because they weren't some dumb animal like dragons but they were human beings. The second thing the white haired teenager saw was the prosthesis that replaced half of his left leg. He was limping a little when Hookfang pulled at his leash but he didn't fall down. He was a few heads smaller than the other boy. He was lanky and was pulling at the ends of his brown tunic when they stopped. The tunic was a little too big for him because they were made for dragons which were taller and wider than he was. Because of this it fell down on one side and revealed a freckled shoulder that matched his equally freckled face.

Jack swallowed and looked away. Was Pitch being real? Was he giving him a dragon and a slave for his birthday?

"Do you like them Jackson?" Pitch asked and walked over to Hookfang. "Go help Meatlug."

Hookfang nodded and hushed away to help Meatlug in the kitchen. Bunny made some excuse about having somewhere to be and left Jack with Pitch and his gift. The dragon hissed a little bit as Pitch came closer.

"Don't even think about fighting me," Pitch said and pulled out a little remote out of his pocket. He pushed one of the two buttons on it. Toothless immediately fell on his knees, screaming in pain. Jack flinched when he saw that. The boy was on the dragons side and begged Pitch to stop. Pitch smiled evilly but released the button. "This happens if you think about fighting me."

The boy helped the dragon on his feet. He helped him stay on his feet even though it looked as if it hurt the boy to put his weigh on his artificial leg. Pitch pulled on the dragons leash and brought him closer to Jack.

"This is your Master," Pitch said to the dragon "You are at his mercy. Do you understand?"

The dragon took his time to answer but eventually he hissed: "Yes."

"They are all yours, Jackson," Pitch turned to his nephew "You don't have to call for my servants anymore. They belong to you and you can do with them whatever you please." Pitch grabbed Jack's hand and laid the remote in it. Jack was still dazzled and didn't know how to react.

"The first button, the blue one, is for the dragon. The green one is for the boy." Jack shuddered at the thought of electrocuting a human. The boy had to be around his age, maybe even younger and he didn't look as if he could stand to have electricity run through his body. Dragons healed really fast but humans? Not so much.

"I- eh," he tried to tell Pitch that it wasn't necessary at all but he couldn't form a word.

"They're not tame," Pitch explained and grabbed the boy's leash and pulled him forward harshly. "You're going to watch them very closely and they can't sleep with the other dragons yet. They'll have to stay in your room until they can behave themselves. You may take them upstairs and explain to them how everything works or whatever you please. The dragon has been injected with the medicine a few hours ago. Give it to him every 48 hours and he won't change back. I'll be in my study if you need my help."

Jack nodded uncertainly and let Pitch put the leashes into his free hand. "Let's go upstairs," he said the dragon and the boy and pulled on the leash softly to get them to come with him.


It was more than a little awkward in Jack's opinion. He was seated on his bed while the dragon and the boy were standing in front of it.

"I'm Jackson," Jack introduced himself "But I go by Jack."

The dragon looked at him, obviously unimpressed by the white haired boy. He didn't state his name and neither did the boy who stayed in the shadow of the dragon. They seemed to be rather close. Jack would have never gone close to a wild dragon but since his uncle wanted him to be a dragon hunter, he didn't have much of a choice left.

"You have names do you?" Jack tried and looked at the odd pair. Neither off them talked and Jack grew frustrated. If he didn't get them to behave then Pitch would do it and his methods and punishments were not known to be soft.

"Listen," Jack sighed "If I don't get anywhere with you then my uncle will tame you. He is not very merciful."

"We don't need to be tamed," the dragon hissed. He took a step forward but the boy laid his hand down on his arm. Maybe he feared that Jack would push the button on the remote.

"I'm Hiccup," the boy said "and this is my best friend, Toothless."
