The storm on the mountain got worse and worse the further he went. The wind continued to pick up and the snow was turning more and more to ice.
"ELSA! ELLLLSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAA!" Jack called against the howling winds. He clung tightly onto his horse's mane, shivering hard. He looked up to call out for his sister again when a blur of color zipped past them and his horse reared up in alarm. "Whoa! WHOA!" He said as he desperately tried to hang on. The stallion panicked as it saw what had spooked it; a large grey and brown wolf was moving towards them. Jack swallowed nervously, trying to figure out what to do when one of the creatures lunged. The horse jerked as it turned and kicked the wolf in the muzzle, sending in flying back but the motion threw Jack off its saddle. The stallion took off, leaping over the creatures and went galloping down the mountain.
"WAIT!" Jack shouted, drawing the wolves' attention to him. He froze as he saw all their eyes turn towards him. He shivered, cold from being dumped in the snow and panicked as the animals padded closer and closer. Standing up he tried to swing at them with his staff.
"S-Stay back!" He shouted, glaring at them. "Get away from me!"
With a snarl, then next wolf leapt at him. Jack swung his staff, hitting it in the side hard enough to deflect the attack, but it moved him closer to the other. He shouted as one snapped at his arm, biting him right below the elbow. Jerking away he was able to dodge another one, but one of them behind him suddenly knocked into his back. The staff slipped from his grip and the heavy animal was pinning him down. He tensed, waiting for it to make the kill and snap his neck when there was a loud howl then the weight holding him down disappeared. Instantly he got the staff then got up, turning to see a sleek black wolf, much larger than the others, fighting the one that had been on him.
"Come on, let's go!" A new voice called and grabbed Jack's arm, pulling him towards the forest and then sprinted away from the fight. After a while of running, Jack finally had to stop.
"W-Who even are you?" He panted as he leaned hard on the staff, trying to catch his breath. Jack looked up to his rescuer, surprised that the boy seemed to be his age. He was a brunette, with dark green eyes and freckles dotting his cheeks.
"I'm Hiccup, well, technically it's Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, but Hiccup is kinda bad enough on its own, so yeah… Just Hiccup." He said, smiling a little, but was blushing when he realized he was babbling. "What about you? What are you doing out here? I mean, other than trying to be dog food."
"I'm looking for my sister." Jack replied
"Got a name wolf treat?" Hiccup continued to tease.
"Jack."
"Just Jack?"
"The rest doesn't matter, I just really need to find my sister. Have you see a girl with really blonde hair out here?" He asked.
"The only one crazy enough to be out in this storm is you buddy, well, and me." Jack sighed, disappointed, but got another idea.
"Wait, do you know what direction the storm is coming from?" He asked
"Umm…. Well it should be coming from the North, but it's blowing in from the west, which is weird…" Hiccup said, looking confused. "Why?"
"The queen set it off. She can do that… apparently." Jack said.
"Soooo…. You're looking for the queen now?" He asked.
"Well, yes, but-" Jack stopped as he spotted the black wolf behind Hiccup. "Look out!" He shouted, jumping up with his staff ready. The wolf let out a snarl then leapt at them, landing on Hiccup. Jack panicked until he realized that it was licking him, not trying to eat his face off.
"What…?" He said, standing there dumbfounded a little until Hiccup finally calmed the wolf down enough to sit back up.
"Jack this is Toothless, Toothless, this is Jack," the brunette said happily and Jack looked down at the oversized wolf, which looked back at him with bright green eyes.
"Um… Hi?" The wolf responded with a happy yip and a wagging tail. Hiccup looked back at Jack then glanced at the sky.
"Well we should probably find some shelter before it gets dark, if the cold doesn't kill us, those wolves surely might if we're out here at night." Hiccup said, standing up.
"We?" Jack questioned, surprised that Hiccup was still going to help him.
"I don't want to freeze any more than you do. Plus if Toothless likes you than I don't think you could be that bad. I know these mountains a lot better than you do and could probably help you… ya know, um, if you want" the brunette offered, looking over at him.
"Um… well…" Jack started, still a little shocked. He didn't like to admit to wanting help, but without his horse he was pretty screwed up here alone. "Thank you…" he said genuinely and Hiccup lit up again.
"Alright, there's a trading post just up a little further. It's a bit of a hike but they'll have some warmer clothes and stuff for tomorrow" he told Jack then started to lead the way up through the snow. Toothless trotted up after his master, a stark contrast to the white snow as they started walking. Jack paused a moment, noticing he could see most of Arendelle from here. The whole city was covered in a thick layer of white. Turning back to follow Hiccup he silently added;
"Please… for once let me not mess this up..."
Notes: =3 I'm so excited to be including Hiccup and Toothless in this! I hope you like my wolf!Toothless interpretation for the story and let me know what you think so far!
