CHAPTER 4

The next day, Hiccup kept his promise and forced Toothless to help him find the white Night Fury. Toothless wasn't quite as speculative for the long and tiring walk, (Since his harness had accidentally broken the day before in the crash.) but he DID want to find the ridiculous white Night Fury and show Hiccup that they were just going to be enemies, maybe friends in the least, but NOT mates. Especially after she questioned his honor of being a Night Fury.

As they walked along, he noticed a scent in the snow and lowered his nose to sniff the ground. Hiccup paused and smiled, "Do you smell our friend bud?"
Toothless growled and stepped foreword suddenly, knocking his rider to one side. If dragons had hands to slap their riders upside the head, Toothless would have now, "She's not our friend. Maybe not now, or ever!"

Hiccup chuckled slightly and followed his dragon, "Where is she?"

In defeat, Toothless turned towards the backside of Berk's main mountain with a heavy sigh, "Over here."

They came to a stop suddenly when a high pitched screech echoed above them! The sound was louder and higher than any sound either of them had heard before, making them groan and cover their ears.
Then from nowhere, a large white form jumped out of the trees and pounced on Toothless! He snarled and was pressed into the snow by white talons, big blue eyes glaring into his green ones, "Why did you bring your human here!"

Storm Shadow stood atop Toothless harshly and shot a snarl to Hiccup, "Don't you think you've caused me enough trouble by now?"

Hiccup gave a stutter and tried speaking softly to her, "Um...listen."
The angry white dragon turned her gaze to him and he continued, "Neither of us are going to hurt you. We just wanted to see you again."

With a slightly sarcastic smile she turned back to Toothless, "Really. You wanted to see ME again?"
Toothless snorted and shifted out from underneath her, "In your dreams." he shook the snow from his back and huffed, "The joy of seeing you again is completely from his side of this outfit."

Storm Shadow chuckled, but her blue eyes wavered and locked onto a strange sight. Toothless blinked.

Hiccup had extended his hand while trying to calm the white dragon, and the sight of his palm totally transfixed the Night Fury. She stuttered, "What madness is this?"

Toothless rolled his eyes and gestured to his human's hand, "It's a sign of trust and friendship in their world."

Storm Shadow frowned and stuttered again, "But...friendship?"
Hiccup noticed her attention on him and smiled softly, "We just want to save you."

Toothless blinked at the new words and bit his lip, thinking back to all the bad things he had said about Storm Shadow. They may not be friends, but it's just good nature and kindness to save her life.

He gave in and purred, "Go ahead Storm Shadow, touch it."
She flinched, "His paw?" he nodded when he almost heard her heart thumping in her chest, "Well, they call them hands."

Storm Shadow swallowed, then leaned foreword and sniffed the human's hand slightly. She sneezed, but her fierce eyes had calmed and her tense muscles relaxed.

As she pressed her snout into Hiccup's hand, Toothless watched with wide eyes at the scene.
Against the snow and trees around them, the sight of his master and the incredibly beautiful white Night Fury melted the ice around his heart. He purred, but went silent instantly when a mischievous blue eye caught him smiling.

The black dragon huffed,

"Oh, why does life have to be so ironic?"

Not long after, Hiccup lulled Storm Shadow into following them home, smiling brightly as they made their way up the path towards Berk's village, "Two Night Furies." he glanced back at Toothless and grinned goofily, "If war was still on Berk, I would have been the most famous man alive."
Storm Shadow briskly trotted behind him, "What does he mean exactly?" she then giggled before Toothless could answer, "I can see where you got that goofy face from." She chuckled and he rolled his eyes, "It's called a human grin. It's like an extreme version of a smile."

The white Night Fury paused and struggled to lift the corners of her mouth slightly, but instead of Toothless her teeth remained out of her gums, giving her an rundown oddball look. Toothless fought back a chuckle and shrugged, "Close enough."

As they approached the village, their pace slowed and Hiccup bit his lip, "I don't want to have everyone swarm you on the fist day, so let's head for Fishleg's barn and keep you in there for now."
Storm Shadow's pupils turned to frightened slits at the sights and sounds of her new surroundings, "Why did I let you two talk me into this?"

They entered the village slowly, staying to the outskirts of the cabins.
When Hiccup had told Astrid about the white Night Fury the night before, he had made her promise not to tell anyone till the time was right. They didn't need a crowd of Vikings flustering the newly trained dragon.

Toothless led the way around the houses and nodded ahead to an old barn on the ridge, "There. No one should see us if..." he turned to see only Hiccup, "Storm Shadow!"

For a moment the black dragon panicked and glanced over the village, but a chuckle sounded form behind and Hiccup blinked in awe, "Wow."

Toothless turned to see two blue eyes on the snow, laughter rose and Storm Shadow appeared from her hiding place, "I fooled you didn't I?"
he huffed and gave a low growl, "Don't do that again!"

The female flicked a bit of snow of her tail and coyly trotted over to them, "Why, were you worried?" her blue eyes sparkled.

Suddenly, a gasp sounded from behind followed by a raspy voice, "Whoa." Toothless could recognize it anywhere, "Oh no."
He turned to see the two twins, their faces holding the expression of pure awe. Ruffnut blinked with a smile, "A WHITE Night Fury?" Tuffnut laughed and slugged her shoulder slightly, "Well you cant call it a NIGHT fury anymore." he gave a mischievous grin and chuckled, "I'm calling it a Light Fury."

The twin made a move for the dragon and Hiccup frowned, spreading his arms, "Not such a good idea guys."
Storm Shadow released a sharp snarl and they both backed away, "Where'd you find her?"

Toothless sat on his haunches and listened to the excited clamor, only to see Snotlout appear up the path with Astrid. He groaned as more noise of laughter and shouts joined the ruckus and turned to Storm Shadow, "So much for staying unnoticed."

despite the overload of humans, the white dragon smiled slightly at the complements to her white scales and blue eyes. She ruffled her wings and Toothless blinked in surprise at the Deadly Nadder like vainness radiating from her, "Are you blushing?" he noticed a pink hue to her cheeks.

Storm Shadow blinked at the term and he shook it off, sighing, "Never mind."

Well, it seems i'm getting better at this. :) leave a review and show your opinion on my work.
