Chapter 4
The day started out fresh. Toothless hated that Blaze would change into her human form but he's glad at least now she turns into her dragon form at night. Hiccup and Astrid told everyone she was just a lost girl and they she needed a place to stay. They were so thankful the village of Berk bought it. Including Hiccup's dad Stoick. When Hiccup got out of bed he ran into his dad in the living room. "Son I noticed your friend Blaze hasn't done any dragon training." Hiccup began to panic with in his mind. He couldn't tell his dad she won't do dragon training because she is actually a dragon so he thought up a lie. "Um she's sort of shy around dragons." Hiccup hated lying to his dad and he hated habing to keep secrets from him as well. He thought after the death of the Dragon King he wouldn't have to keep secrets anymore. He was indeed upset that he was wrong."
"Hmm. Well if she's shy then dragon training should help her get use to dragons. You should show her the ropes and help her get the hang of it." Hiccup was indeed surprised and wasn't expecting his dad to tell him to help train her. "M-Me? Nah. S-She d-d-doesn't need training from m-m-me." he stuttered. "Of course she does." his father laughed. "You start her training lessons right after breakfast." "Great." Hiccup laughed nervously with low enthuaism. Hiccup had no idea how Blaze was going to take it having to ride her own kind. "Please don't let her freak out on me." he thought. "You want me to do what?!" Blaze screamed. "Yup she freaked." "I-I can't ride a dragon! I am a dragon!" she screamed at the not so happy Hiccup. "I know it's a little wierd for you." he started.
"Ha! A little! A dragon riding a dragon! That's more than a little weird!" Hiccup began to rub his temples in frustration. He sighed "What am I going to do with you?" Blaze crossed her arms refusing to go through dragon training. "Can you just work with me okay!" Hiccup screamed trying to convince Blaze. "My dad will get suspicuos if you don't do this!" Blaze glared at Hiccup. "Read my lips. Forget it!" Hiccup through his hands into his face. "Ugh I'm getting no where with you!" he complained. "Do you know what it's like to have a father who expects things from you!" he yelled enraged. Blaze froze and touched the white scar under her eye remembering her father. Hiccup calmed down when he saw tears building up in her eyes. Finally Blaze let her anger unleash. "YES AND I HATED IT!" She ran off with tears streaking down her face.
Hiccup sighed sadly. He didn't mean to hurt Blaze's feelings but he didn't know why that mad her upset. Blaze only told Toothless of her past. She didn't want no one else to know. Hiccup rubbed the back and went over to Astrid's. Astrid wa confused when she saw Hiccup with his depressed face. "What's wrong Hiccup?" she asked. "I-I made Blaze upset with something I said. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings it's just she won't do dragon training." Hiccup sat down and lowered his head. "Then don't force her. In fact I got an idea." Hiccup looked up at Astrid having no idea what her crazy plan was. "Come on let's go." she grabbed Hiccup by the arm and began dragging him back to his house. "Now why can't she do dragon training?" Stoick asked confused. "She's afraid of heights." Astrid responded.
"Every single time she's up high she has a panic attack and then feels like she'll throw up. So she won't do good on a dragon." "Hmm." Stoick began scratching his beard thinking about Astrid's reason of why Blaze can't do training. "Alright she doesn't have to do it if that's the case." Both Hiccup and Astrid sighed in relief. "Thanks dad." Hiccup said happily. "We'll tell her the good news." They left the room relieved now that Blaze wasn't forced to do something shr didn't want to do. "I guess I need to appolgize for upsetting her." Hiccup scanned the area for Blaze and didn't see any sign of her. "Where is she any way?" Hiccup asked. It was unknown to them that Toothless saw Blaze crying and told her he knew a place that would cheer her up.
"Toothless are you sure? I told you it's dangerous to be in my dragon form. I'm already taking a risk transforming at night." Blaze stated nervously. "Just this once okay. I promise no one will see you." Blaze bit her lip and finally nodded in agreement. She closed her eyes and transformed into her dragon form. Toothless smiled admiring Blaze's body. "You know you should be in your dragon form more. You're more cuter in it." he quoted. Blaze shook her head with a smile. "Come on we'll fly there." he stated. Blaze eyes widened in shock. "But you can't fly without Hiccup?" Toothless just formed a smirk on his face. "Actually I trained myself where I can fly short distances and not too far off the ground. Luckily the place I want to take you is not that far." Blaze still wasn't sure but she decided to go ahead and just do it.
Both of them spread their wings and took to the sky. They flew about twenty feet off the gound which was three feet higher than the trees in the forest. Like Toothless said he was fiying perfectly as long as he flew at a low height and a short distance. It was sunset and the sun's rays where reflecting off the clouds making it a beautiful sight. Blaze was admiring it until she heard Toothless say "Alright it's down here." Blaze looked down to see a small canyon with a lake in it. When they landed Blaze was shocked by the scenery. Blaze gasped and said"Wow! This is..." "Amazing." Toothless finished her sentence with a smile. "Yeah. How did you know about this place?" she asked in amazement. "This is where Hiccup befriended me. I was trapped here for a while and he always came to take care of me." Blaze thought that sounded amazing but not as much as the lake.
"Hungry?" Toothless asked Blaze. "Sure." she replied with a smile. With in an instant Toothless walked over to the lake and dunked his head in. When he pulled it out he had the biggest, juicest fish that Blaze had ever seen. He dropped it with a smile and said "Here you go." Blaze slightly smiled and brought out her teeth and began to consume the fish. After a few bites she looked up and Toothless and said "Well come on. This fish is too big to eat alone." Toothless laughed and began to consume the fish with her. Once they finished they laid next to each other staring at the moon's refelction in the water since it was night fall now. Toothless glanced at Blaze noticing how her scales glowed with brillance from the moonlight shining on them. He knew he had to ask her the question he was dying to ask her eversince he first met her.
"Blaze?" "Hmm?" She turned her head towards Toothless waiting for what he had to say. "Blaze I know I just confessed my love for you last night but..." Blaze began to get nervous wondering where this was going. Toothless let out a sigh and said "But I want to be your mate Blaze. I want to." "Toothless." Blaze blurted out in shock. "But I don't think I'm ready.I don't know if I'm ready to mate. I don't know if i want to be a parent yet." "I know you feel it isn't time yet but I can't ingore this feeling anymore Blaze. I want to do this. But if you don't that's okay." He began to turn his head away until Blazae said "Toothless I have the same feeling but..." He turned toward her and saw she was staring with pleading eyes. "If we do this he'll get you too." "Who's he?" Toothless asked confused.
Blaze bit her lip and knew she didn't want to blurt that sentence out loud. She sighed but she knew she had to tell someone. "You remember my father I told you about?" she said weakly. "Yeah." "A few weeks ago I discovered he's still alive." "But you said he was dead." Toothless exclaimed in shock. "I know but I thought at first a viking had killed him. He's become a rouge dragon now from anger and has been trying to track me down. Toothless he's the one that attacked me that day you found me!" Toothless glanced down at Blaze's leg. The wound had healed but it remained a scar. A scar that now he knows that was also given to her by her own father. "I just don't want anything to happen to you because of me Toothless." Blaze lowered her head in sadness.
"Blaze." Toothless started. "If he finds us I don't care. Even if he only wants you he would have to get through me first. I made you a promise." Blaze ears percked up. She remembered the promised Toothless made her that day in the forest to protect her with his own life. "Alright Toothless. I believe you. And now..." she began to pur and rubbed his head. "I'll accpet your offer." Blaze laid down her side smiling at Toothless. He formed a sly smile knosing know that Blaze felt that her and him were readyt. He approached her slowly said "Then I'll make sure it's a night you'll never forget." in a sly tone. "I know you'll suceede in that." she smirked with a devilish smile toward her now offical mate.
Meanwhile at the mountain where the Dragon King once ruled a nightfury landed on the sharp rocks bleow his feet. This nightfury was extremely different from the he was black he had red markings all over his wings, back, legs and tail. His teeth were razor sharp, so sharp in fact it could probably peirce metal. His claws were longer than normal nightfury claws and finally instead of having green eyes like other nightfuries he had blood red eyes full of hate and death. Blood was dripping all over with upper legs showing that he indeed killed something. His lifted one of his claws and began licking the blood off of it. Finally he laughed in a evil laugh. "You think you can hide forever my dear daughter." His blood red eyes glared at the ocean. "But I promise you I will find you and then you'll pay."
He glanced at his claws once again pleased with the blood now emerging from his claws since it had been punctured by the sharp rocks. "I will find you." He began to lick his claws once again off his claws. "I will find you." Lighting struck through the sky as if nature knew this evil force would stop at nothing until he got what he was after. He's so obbessed with finding Blaze that he's even willing to kill anything in his way. Even his own kind. Later that night back at the lake Toothless slept peacfully but not Blaze. An increasing pain in her chest contined developing as she thought about her father and the monster he had now become. She looked and Toothless and knew now her father would be bound to kill him as well for becoming Blaze's mate.
Blaze began to drift asleep knowing she couldn't fight sleep anymore. She snuggled her head against Toothless' still worried. "Please don't let him find me." she whined. Her eyes began to droop as she stared at the water. "Please don't let him find me." she whined again. She snuggled closer to Toothless' body. "Please don't let him find me." She couldn't fight sleep any longer so she began to let it over take her. "Please don't let him find me both for mine and Toothless' sake." Finally sleep over came her and her eyes completely closed. Even though she had peacefully dreams her worry never went away. Worry that her father would find her.
