Welcome to Chapter 2 of Double Sided. This chapter will take on an FNAF4 style of checking the windows and doors. And in the end, something big will happen. So let's get into...
Chapter 2: The Nightmare Night
Toothless slowly blinked his eyes open, feeling the cold air hit his scales. He looked around to notice that it was late at night, and Hiccup was still sleeping curled up against his side. Toothless felt normal and that was good, but he still wanted to know where Nightmare T went.
Toothless nudged Hiccup and crooned a bit, Hiccup slowly woke up and stood up.
"Uhh, what happened?" Hiccup asks Toothless, who shrugs.
"I don't know. But i have a bad feeling about tonight" Toothless says as he shivers a bit, it was colder than usual and Toothless could barely see outside the window. Which was not normal considering that normally Toothless could see the Great Hall all the way from Hiccup's bedroom, now he can't even see the ground!
"What bad feeling?" Hiccup asks as Toothless lights to candles in the room, Toothless then looks around nervously.
"You know Nightmare Toothless?" Toothless asks and Hiccup nods scared, Toothless sighs.
"Well, normally i see him in my nightmares, but...he isn't there anymore. He isn't inside my head anymore which can only mean ONE thing..." Toothless says and Hiccup puts two and two together.
"He has his own body," Hiccup says and then, like a rubber band, Hiccup is practically glued to Toothless' side. Toothless wanted to comfort Hiccup but he just couldn't considering that he himself was panicking.
That's when Toothless and Hiccup noticed something, it was too quiet. Usually, they could hear Vikings and Dragons snoring, along with the occasional shout or screech from the unlucky Dragon or Viking that was woken up. But now they couldn't even hear Stoick's extremely loud snoring, they couldn't hear a thing.
Toothless decided to peak outside their window and see if anything was out there. He slowly approached the wooden window and cracked it open enough for him to see out.
At first, he saw nothing, and then he caught the eye of something. He focused in on it and then spotted two red eyes. Two evil red eyes, and then white teeth that were smiling evilly. Toothless slammed the window shut and pressed his entire body up against it.
"Toothless, what's..." Hiccup starts but cannot finish as the loud sound of claws against wood is heard, Toothless and Hiccup both try to cover their ears but the sound still reaches them.
Suddenly, something or someone starts banging relentlessly on the window, trying to get in. Toothless places all four of his paws down and makes sure he has a tight grip on the ground.
Hiccup then heard something coming up the stairs, so he ran to the door and opened it just enough to peak out. That's when his eyes meet the evil red eyes of Nightmare Toothless.
Hiccup slams his entire body against the door as Nightmare T starts pounding relentlessly at the door, Toothless runs over and takes Hiccup's place in holding the door.
"Hiccup! The window! Go block it with something!" Toothless yells and Hiccup quickly runs over and uses all of his strength to push a cabinet in front of the window, baring it.
Hiccup then takes a few minutes to regain his strength while Toothless continues baring the door.
"Hiccup! I can't hold this door for much longer!" Toothless yells as his entire body start's shaking from exhaustion. Hiccup quickly manages to push his desk in front of the door. Then he and Toothless collapse into the middle of the room.
"There! That's all of the exits and entrances bared! He CANNOT possibly get in now!" Toothless says and Hiccup leans up against Toothless.
"Good...wait a minute," Hiccup says and remembers he installed a secret exit in the left wall of his bedroom, and all that was required to open it was to know where it was.
Hiccup glanced over at the secret entrance and noticed that it was opening very slowly. He quickly ran over and pressed his entire body against the secret door. Toothless then ran over and helped him.
"Why would you install a secret door!" Toothless yells as Nightmare T continues to bang on the door. Hiccup then grunts with a roll of his eyes.
"I thought it would be fun at the time! Now i regret it!" Hiccup yells and they continue holding the secret door. Toothless then runs over to Hiccup's bed and pushes it in front of the secret door. Baracading it.
"There! Now there are no entrances to this room that he could get in through!" Toothless says and collapses in the middle of the room. Hiccup quickly collapses against Toothless' side with a sigh.
"And now all we have to do is make sure the barricades don't move too much," Hiccup says and they settle down for a long night.
Nightmare Toothless was pissed, the runt and the even bigger runt had barricaded themselves in their room! And he couldn't get to them even with plasma fire and claws! He then started thinking of plans to get in there and be able to kill at least one of them.
He then comes up with an evil plan, he'll make them come out when he captures one of there friends! But which one to capture...
Toothless and Hiccup were watching both the door, secret door, and window with eyes that would make a hawk jealous.
"Just five more minutes bud, five more minutes until sunrise" Hiccup moans under his breath and Toothless sighs.
"Yeah, and then when sunrise comes, we'll make a break for Stoick, and then make our way to the Great Hall," Toothless says as the entire plan comes together, they were prepared to sprint downstairs and to Stoick.
But suddenly, they heard something or someone land on the roof, and the sound of a girl screaming.
"Astrid!" Hiccup yells as he recognizes the voice, Toothless then walks up to the window and peeks out it to see Nightmare Toothless staring at him with glee.
"Come out or I'll eat the girl!" Nightmare T threatens and Toothless sighs, he looks over at Hiccup who nods. Toothless moves the window barricade away and they quickly climb up onto the roof with Nightmare Toothless and Astrid. Astrid could normally handle herself and save herself, but this time...she was dealing with an evil Night Fury who is enhanced by magic, it's not easy to get away.
"Now Toothless, you will come over here towards me. Otherwise, I'll eat the girl in front of you both!" Nightmare Toothless says with a devious smile, Toothless sighs and slowly walks forward. Once he's close enough, Nightmare Toothless throws Astrid over to Hiccup.
Toothless was about to turn around and rush the two inside, but suddenly Nightmare Toothless pinned him and flipped him onto his belly.
"This is my first part of my revenge! MAKING YOU SUFFER! HAHAHA!" Nightmare T says and then uses his magically enhanced dragon fire to burn Toothless' underbelly and chest badly. Nightmare Toothless then lifts Toothless into the air and uses his claws to create 4 long marks down Toothless' chest. Toothless roars and screeches in pain, before passing out.
Nightmare Toothless then uses his dragon fire to burn the cut marks before he throws Toothless over the side of the house. He turns to Hiccup and Astrid with a devilish smirk.
"Now time to..." Nightmare Toothless starts but before he can act, the sun rises and he starts fading!
"NO! N-NOT AGAIIIIIINNNNNNN..." Nightmare Toothless roars before fading away. Hiccup and Astrid look over the side of the Haddock House and spot Toothless lying in a pool of his own blood, barely breathing and moving.
"Oh no..." Hiccup mumbles before racing inside and down the stairs, he quickly makes it to Toothless and lifts the dragon's head.
"Toothless! Come on buddy, say something" Hiccup says and Toothless only manages to whimper a bit before passing out. Hiccup then turns to Astrid, who just arrived beside him.
"Go get a healer! NOW!" Hiccup yells and Astrid runs off, Hiccup then cradles Toothless' head as they wait for a healer to arrive.
Eventually, a healer arrives and they quickly move Toothless to the great hall. The 3 healers of Berk get to work quickly, patching up Toothless' chest and belly with bandages and lots of healing stuff. They give him multiple herbs and try there best. They then approach Hiccup, who is sitting next to Toothless, worried out of his mind.
"We're sorry he's lost to much blood, and without blood from another animal, he's doomed," One of the healers says, just saying it all in one sentence. Hiccup then bury's his face in Toothless' chest and starts crying.
"A tear, Hiccup Haddock. Please don't cry, while their's life theirs..." Toothless cannot finish his somewhat poetic line as he goes unconscious. Hiccup quickly hugs Toothless and begs and pleads for him not to go.
Hiccup then gets an idea, humans are animals, right? Every living creature is an animal. And he is human, and if humans are animals. Does that mean he could give Toothless some of his blood?
"Healers! Could my blood work to save Toothless?" Hiccup asks, desperate at this point. The Healers think it over and then come to a logical conclusion.
"We think it might be possible, its risky but might be the only way of saving him," A healer says and Hiccup sighs while grabbing a nearby knife.
"Get a bucket and some stuff to bandage my arm after this is over," Hiccup says and one healer runs off to get the supplies, they return with a bucket and a few other things.
Hiccup then slowly uses the knife to cut a slit in his arm, enough to where blood starts pouring out and into the bucket. They then bandage up Hiccup's arm when they have enough blood to save Toothless.
Hiccup was sitting right next to Toothless, they had done the blood transfer and it was a success, normally Viking blood transfers end with one of the patients dead. But this one time they got lucky and both of the patients made it through.
Hiccup was happy that Toothless was going to recover, he was in fact extremely happy that Toothless was alive and felt like the world was a better place so long as Toothless was right next to him.
Hiccup then remembered Nightmare T, and he shivered. He knew that the evil dragon would come back the next night, and he would be ready. He would defend Toothless at any cost, even if it cost Hiccup his own life he would still protect Toothless until the end.
Ok, my logic behind the blood transfer working is because human and Night Fury blood is a lot alike, and that Hiccup and Toothless somehow have the same blood type. Honestly while writing this i felt like it was too many coincidences for Toothless to survive, but i had to keep Toothless alive because of a few reasons (One, Toothless is the main character along with Hiccup, two is that he is needed in the rest of the story, and three is that i just cannot sum up the strength to write the words displaying that Toothless had died. So Toothless is alive! And its gonna stay that way...for now :)
Ok, Chapter 3 Nightmare in the Hall will be out sometime in the next few weeks. I don't know when but i will get around to writing it when i have free time.
Ok, this is JustANormalHTTYDFan, over and out.
