Well here it is, Chapter 3 of Double Sided. I guess there's really not much to say so i guess we should just get right into the story :)

Chapter 3: Nightmare in the Hall


For Toothless, everything was dark. He couldn't feel anything and he couldn't hear anything. Toothless truly thought he was dead, and that was why he was sad. He was sad he would never see Hiccup again, and he was said that he was actually gone.

Toothless stayed like that until after what felt like hours, he heard something, a voice. A human male voice. It took him a few seconds to place the voice but he managed to recognize it as belonging to Fishlegs.

And then it hit Toothless like a brick, all the pain and soreness of his body hit him like a plasma blast. Toothless moaned in pain and then tried to force his eyes open. He only manages to crack them open a little bit.

Toothless was overjoyed, he wasn't dead! He was still alive! But he wondered how because he should have died from blood loss.

Toothless then heard a voice that he was all too familiar with, Hiccup. He felt even happier knowing that Hiccup was alright and safe.


Hiccup and the rest of the gang were sitting in the Great Hall, it was almost night time and the gang were there to back Hiccup up during the night.

"So, you're saying that Toothless has a bad side, and said bad side managed to get a body outside of Toothless and is now dead set on killing you and Toothless?" Tuffnut says and Hiccup sighs.

"Well, not exactly but yeah, Nightmare Toothless isn't like Toothless at all, Nightmare T is evil and will kill anyone he pleases without remorse. Nightmare T is a bit bigger then Toothless and Nightmare T has red eyes. You'll know him when you see him. And whatEVER you do, DO NOT LET HIM IN OR LET HIM GET YOU! He will kill you without remorse and will eat you" Hiccup explains, Snotlout and the Twins laugh and Hiccup glares at them.

"What's so funny?" Hiccup asks and Snotlout stops laughing.

"Just the fact that you want us to stay here and possibly get eaten by a bloodthirsty evil Night Fury that cannot be stopped and is hunting Toothless? Yeah, we are out" Snotlout says and he and the Twins walk out of the Great Hall and into the darkness. Fishlegs and Astrid turn to Hiccup.

"We have your back Hiccup, after all, Toothless saved me at the cost of nearly getting killed. I think i owe him for that so I'm gonna do it for that, and because I'm your friend Hiccup" Astrid says and Hiccup smiles. They quickly bar the door to the Great Hall and they then all sit down and lay there backs against Toothless.

"So Hiccup, do you think Nightmare T is trainable," Fishlegs asks and Hiccup doesn't waste any time in responding.

"No, as much as it hurts to admit. Maybe some dragons cannot be befriended, Nightmare T is a bloodthirsty dragon who will stop at nothing to make Toothless' life a living hell. I don't think I'd want that dragon on Berk even if he was trainable, for Toothless' sake" Hiccup says and closes his eyes to relax. Then he feels Toothless shift from behind him, Hiccup imminently jumps and looks at Toothless, who has his eyes just barely open.

"H-Hicc...up" Toothless moans and raises one of his paws in Hiccup's direction. Hiccup imminently hugs Toothless and Toothless lays his paw on Hiccup's back.

"Your ok" Hiccup says while burying his face into Toothless' chest, Toothless purrs a little bit while managing to raise his head and nuzzle Hiccup.

"I'm ok, you don't need to worry about me. I'm me, I'm alway's ok" Toothless manages to say and he then lays his head on the ground. Fishlegs then jumped up and squealed like a happy boy on Snoggletog.

"He actually talks!" Fishlegs says with glee and turns to see Astrid's reaction, Astrid didn't have much of a reaction as she has already heard Nightmare T and Toothless speak, honestly, she is already expecting Stormfly to start talking one day.

"Yes Fishlegs, we know," Hiccup says, it comes out muffled considering that his face is buried into Toothless' chest. Toothless purrs weakly before falling back asleep.

"Goodnight bud, see you sometime soon," Hiccup says to himself and rubs Toothless' belly, causing the dragon to purr a bit in his sleep. Hiccup then turns around and looks around, searching for something to do.

That's when he heard the sound of claws scraping against stone, and he walked over to the Great Hall's door, he peaked outside and noticed two red eyes and a devious smile accompanying them.

Hiccup slams his entire body into the door to keep it in place as Nightmare T bangs and hits the door in an attempt to get in. Astrid quickly runs over and helps, they keep the door shut and eventually, Nightmare T leaves.

"That was too easy...way too easy," Hiccup says and starts searching for other entrances, just in case. That's when he spots a fireplace sitting in the corner of the room, unlit and just big enough for a Night Fury to jump down.

He runs over to it and looks up through it into the shaft, and he sees Nightmare T falling down towards them at a fast speed. Hiccup quickly pulls a lever, causing a metal plate to block Nightmare T from getting access to the Great Hall.

Nightmare T try's for a few hours but eventually gives up on getting through that way. Hiccup sighs and collapses against Toothless, who is surprisingly still asleep.

"I don't think we can do this forever, we need to come up with a way to either get rid of Nightmare Toothless or...kill him. I can't let him kill Toothless, Toothless is my best friend and brother. I can't lose him" Hiccup says with a bit of chiefly confidence in his voice, he has to find a way to get rid of Nightmare T before Nightmare T kills Toothless.

That's when the Great Hall's front doors started banging loudly, Hiccup and Astrid run over but find that Nightmare Toothless is banging harder than normal. Then Fishlegs runs over to help but it's not enough, the door slowly but surely starts creaking open and Hiccup's face turns from confidence to horror.

"I will eat you!" Nightmare T screech's and presses harder against the door, and it almost got big enough for Nightmare T to squeeze through. But, then something rammed into the door and caused it to shut completely. Hiccup, Astrid, and Fishlegs all fell to the ground.

Hiccup looks up and spots a sight that shocks him, Toothless is standing weakly on his legs and pressing all his body weight against the door, keeping it from opening.

"Well! Don't keep staring! Get off your asses and help me!" Toothless yells as Nightmare T try's even harder to get through the door. Hiccup, Fishlegs, and Astrid all get up and help Toothless in keeping the door shut.

They continued doing that for what felt like hours until finally, they saw sunlight shining through the cracks of the doors. They threw the doors open and watched as Nightmare T started fading.

"I'll get you next time! ALSO! That black haired blue eyed kid tasted really good, have fun!" Nightmare T yells and then fades completely. That's when Toothless put two and two together while looking at the ground to see a puddle of blood.

"He got Snotlout" Toothless whispers under his breath, someone had died and it was his fault. He should have done something, anything to get rid of Nightmare T, and because he failed in doing so, Snotlout had to pay the price.

"I will not let anyone else die on my watch, and if it comes to it...Nightmare T must die" Toothless says while continuing to stare at the puddle of blood that lay on the ground right before his feet. Hiccup, Astrid, and Fishlegs where all looking down and mourning Snotlout, while Toothless was going through a massive guilt trip.

They went back inside the Great Hall and everyone curled up against Toothless' side, Toothless covered everyone with his wing and kept a lookout for any threat, he was ready to jump awake and kill anything that threatens his friends. He wouldn't let anyone else die, he just wouldn't allow it.


So, how did you like this chapter? PLEASE leave a review as it helps.

Will Toothless kill Nightmare T or will he just manage to push Nightmare T back for another night, tune in next time to find out!
