It had been few days after they arrived to Spain. Astrid had wondered to woods to practice and to clear her head. So much had happened in short time, she was supposed to marry some random guy. She had no idea what to do.

She was about to throw her axe again when she heard voices. Talking. She followed the voices to find Hicca and her friend.. or maybe a lover? She trought his name was Toothless, but she wasn't sure.

What were they doing in the middle of the forest?

"Oh please, it's not my fault you're so slow. Even gronckle could beat you." Hicca said, laughing.

He rolled his eyes. "Please."

She followed them deeper into forest, being curious. Hiding behind a huge rock she watched.

Toothless- if that was his name, glanced at Hicca. "What are you going to do with the Stoick matter?"

Hicca sighed. "I don't really know. I don't think Edward would even accept Stoick's offer."

"But what if he does?" He asked.

"Then i'll talk to him, but only then. I just... He terrifies me. Gobber will understand."

He nodded, then walked a little further and then there was a bright light. Where once had stand a boy, who definitely was a human only few seconds ago, was now standing a dragon. It wasn't big, actually it was pretty small compared to many other dragon species, but it still looked agile and deadly.

It spreaded it's wings and then walked over to Hicca. She scratched it behind it's ear and smiled fondly.

Then it dawned to her, this dragon, this dragon was the same who saved Hicca at the arena. This dragon was a Night Fury, the Night Fury.

She let out a gasp, and hid completely behind the rock. Trying to keep silent.

"Let's go Toothless." Hicca said, and then there was wings flapping sound and they disappeared.

She sat there, shocked. That boy, he was a dragon. What if she was right and Hicca was really in love with him?

She got up and walked back to village.

"You should have seen the way he looks at her. He's totally into her." Ruffnut laughed.

"I don't know if Hicca has feelings towards him, but if he causes trouble.. We'll just threaten him." She shrugged.

I sighed, me and Ruffnut had been spying Hicca's new friends for the last few days. Especially Toothless, who was apparently a dragon. I told Ruffnut about what i had saw in the forest. She was shocked, even thinking i was mad. But in the end she had believed me.

Toothless was the boy who had punched Snotlout at the docks after he had insulted Hicca. They never shoved any affection in public, but at least that guy was totally in love with her. But he almost never left her side, which was very bad thing.

I really need to talk with her about my marriage, find a way to get back to Berk. If someone could convince Stoick that this was very bad idea, it was her.

But she didn't wan't to talk to her father.

And i weren't never too nice to her in Berk, always ignoring her.

So, she didn't wan't to talk to me.

And if i did one wrong move there could be angry Night Fury after me.

But, that's why we were standing outside Hicca's and Toothless' house at six am in the morning. Ruffnut besides me, grinning like an idiot.

"This is so cool, it has been so long since the last time i broke into someone's house." She whispered. I just shot her the "what the hell Ruffnut?" look.

The front door opened, Toothless got out to buy food. He always left so early, leaving Hicca alone in the house. Ruffnut nodded. Now or never. Him gone, we had nothing to worry about.

We climbed in trough a window, both landing silently into their bedroom. Hicca was still asleep at the bed, as we had expected. We crept close and to our both relief she wasn't naked, because well, that had been embarrassing. We nodded to each other and i climbed on top of Hicca's stomach. Ruffnut kept a little farther away, just in case if Toothless would come back too early.

Hicca woke up and tried to scream but i slammed my palm in front of her mouth. She calmed down after recognizing me and i moved my hand away from her face.

"Astrid? Ruffnut? What are you doing here!" She glanced at Ruffnut, looking confused.

"I have a favor to ask. I-"

"Why would i do anything for you." She interrupted me, looking bored.

This has to be the first time when she says "no" to me. Or interruptes me, wow.

Ruffnut snickers behind me, i must have looked surprised.

"Would you just listen to me?"

She huffs at that.

"So, as you probably know already- i'm supposed to marry some random guy."

"He's name is Tom." She says.

"Whatever. I'm not going to marry him and you're going to help me."

She shook her head but kept silent. So i continue.

"I need you to speak to Stoick, convince him that this is very, very bad idea."

She laughs. "First of all why in earth would i help you, and secondly he never listen to me."

"But you need to try, i'm not leaving before you promise to try."

She shook her head wildly and tries to get away, she tries to push me away, which doesn't work too well. I just keep her hands locked against the bed, she struggles for a moment before giving up. She huffs.

"I'm not helping you, just get off of me!"

"Nope, not going to happen."

We stare down each other for a moment.

"Why do you think i would help you? What have you ever done to me?" She finally asks and starts struggling again.

"Not much maybe, but if you don't wan't me to go tell Stoick about your little shapeshifting dragon friend, then you will help me." She freezes.

"Wh-what are you talking about?"

I smirk. "About your friend, his name is Toothless, right? The one with black hair?" She looks scared. perfect.

"I followed you two to forest and puff! he changed into a Night Fury. He's a dragon, isn't he?" She keeps silent. "What would Stoick do if he knew?"

She opened her mouth to answer when the bedrooms door is slammed open. Toothless is standing there, looking confused.

"What is going on in here?!"

Toohtless barged to the room, at the moment he realized what was happening he took his knife, then he was standing behind Ruffnut, holding his blade at her throat. Ruffnut froze, not expecting Toothless to be so quick.

Just few seconds later i felt a blade on my throat too, held by Astrid. Then there was a silence when Astrid and Toothless stared each other.

Finally Toothless cleared his throat. "What are you two doing here?"

Astrid glared at him. "I was just talking to Hicca."

He looked annoyed. "About what exactly?"

Oh gosh no..

"Astrid followed us to the woods. They know." I told him, thinking it was better to heard from me.

His face fell. "Wh- what, how many knows about this?"

Ruffnut decided to answer this time."Only me and Astrid." She grinned. "I first thought she had gone mad. I mean, i think you're hot and i hadn't think that dragons could be hot." She shrugged.

Toothless looked distressed.

Astrid decided to ignore her best friends remark. "So, do we have a deal?" She asked, turning to look at me.

"What deal?" Toothless asked.

"I'm going to talk to Stoick and try to convice him that Astrid's marriage is a bad idea. In return she and Ruffnut won't tell anyone about this hole dragon thing."

"And if he won't say yes, you will help me find a way to not get married." Astrid added. "So, do we have a deal?"

I sighed, i didn't had many choices did i? "Yeah, we have a deal."

I was in total chaos, first i had lost my wife, my sweet Valka to those devils. Then my own daughter was taken by one, i had been so sure that the unholy offspring of lightning and death had brainwashed her or something, then taken her away and killed her.

"She's alive.." I sighed, what was i going to do now?

All this time, i just had wanted to find that Night Fury and revenge her death.

But now she very much alive, and what he had heard she had fallen in love with some local boy. Also that dragon could very well be somewhere in the woods, hiding.

"No, you need to stay home. I wan't to talk to him alone." I pleaded, Toothless didn't like the idea of letting me to go alone.

He finally sighed. "Okay, okay but call me if you need me."

I nodded. "Yeah, i will. I won't take long."

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek. I smiled to him.

I knocked the door, Stoick was staying in one of the quest houses with Gobber.

Stoick opened the door and looked surprised. "Oh, Hicca."

"Hey Stoick, can i come in?"

He nodded and let me in. I walked in the house and glanced at him, he seemed to be bit nervous. Which was new.

"So, how is it going-" He started akwardly.

"Why are you forcing Astrid to get married?" I interrupted him.

"What?" He looked surprised.

"There's no point, Edward or anyone from this village won't help you with the nest, if that's what you're really after. They live in peace with the dragons, everyone knows it."

He looked irritated. "Just because you chose to be friends with that devil doesn't mean they will choose the same path. I'll make them understand."

I laughed dryly. "Oh please, they're not devils if someone is, then it is us humans."

He grumbled at that.

"Why won't you just open your eyes Stoick, dragons doesn't raid Berk anymore, they haven't in year." I knew this was so useless, he never listen. "And what i've heard they have even saved fisherman's from drowning!"

He glared at me, he was angry now. "They have killed hundreds of us! They killed your mother Hicca, have you forgot that?!"

"Of course i haven't, but that was almost 16 years ago! We have killed thousand of them, they raided us because they had to!"

This always happened, either he was the only one who spoke or then we ended up shouting at each other.

"You're just so stubborn, you never listen, why is that?!" I yelled.

"Oh, right, that devil, where have sent him? I can't wait to meet him to see his head on my own wall!" He yelled.

"Don't you dare to speak like that about my best friend!" I screamed back.

"Best friend!" He laughed. "That lizard doesn't have emotions, his just using you!"

"That dragon is more of a family to me than you never were!" I screamed.

And then he slapped me, my hand flew to my cheek. It hurted, but i was more shocked.

There was silence.

We fought, of course, we'd scream at each other. But he had never, ever hit me.

A tear landed on my cheek, i sniffled and glared at him. "Stay away from me." I turned around and walked to door, opening it.

"Hi-Hicca wai-"

and i slammed it after me, ignoring him completely.

This wasn't the man i had once known.

I took of running, i ended up to forest, that was where i always found myself when i needed to clear my head.

The forest was different from Berk's ones, it was greener and there was many plants which names i still didn't know. The birds were strange to me, they were beautiful, so colorful. But it still had that calming effect.

I sat down, leaning against a tree. I sighed and closed my eyes. It felt like wherever i went, trouble followed.

I should have known that it was stupid begin with to think that Stoick would listen to me. He never had, always ignoring me. But he had never hit me, he was often angry, yes, but he had never even tried to hit me.

Then there was a flapping sound, a dragon? My eyes shot open.

But we told every dragon to stay in their human form during the viking's visit!

A black dragon landed in front of me.

Night fury!

I got up, glaring at him and i was about to shout that Toothless was being too reckless. Being in his Dragon form, what was he thinking?!

But then i realized it. This dragon was slightly bigger than Toothless was, it's eyes were darker than his were too.

That isn't Toothless!

I stumbled backwards, which caused the dragon to spread it wings, making it look bigger. And then it snarled.

Now i was horrified, it was angry.

Oh gosh what do i do, what do i do?!

I could try to gain it's trust but, but there was that but. What if it didn't trust me, now Toothless couldn't save me. At the time he'd get here i would be dead already.

Or i could try to run back to village. There was a big change to get caught, and then i would surely be killed.

We eyed each other, why didn't Toothless ever told me if Night furies had any weaknesses?

The dragon growled, and took a step closer to me.

I panicked, and turned around.

RUN, RUN, RUN!

I ran as fast as i could, dodging behind trees, it shot a fireball into a tree that was few inches from my head. I screamed.

"TOOTHLESS!" i yelled, then i tripped and fell on the ground.

I tried to get up, but the dragon was there in a flash and pinned me down.
