Merida's POV
I didn't even realize what happened until I was dangling a foot off the ground with the boys powerful hand was rapped around my neck.
He may look scrawny, but he was anything but, I could feel his powerful muscles rippling under his armor as I tried to pry his hand off my neck.
I stared into his bright emerald green eyes, but they were void of any expression.
My lungs began to burn and spots started to dance acrossed my vision.
Just when it felt like I was about to black out, I heard a loud clang and the boys hold on me disappeared.
I fell to the ground gasping for air, when I caught my breath looked up to see Rapunzal standing over the boy holding a frying pan," Whar did yea get tha?" I asked hoarsely.
She smiled slightly," I have magic hair, so why would I need a medicine bag?" She asked.
I chuckled," Thank yah for savin meh" I said as I rubbed my throat.
We both looked back at the boy," I thought you said you knew him?" Asked Rapunzal which made me feel guilty all over again.
" Aye uh.. em the one who shot im" I said, she raised her eyebrows.
" Okay now I understand why he tried to kill you" she said, I flashed an irritated look at her, she just smirked.
" Now what do we do?" She asked, I looked at the large Lizard, it was watching us with narrowed eyes and tense muscles.
" Aye have a feilin that if we do anythin to im," I gestured to the boy," He will keel us" I said then gestured to the Lizard.
Rapunzal stared at the beast," Maybe I could try to gain its trust" she said as I knelt down next to the boy and began feeling his head for the spot where Rapunzal hit him with the pan.
I glanced at Rapunzal and saw the beast glaring down at her from a tree that meant she was getting nowhere with the it.
" Punz!" I called, she turned and looked at me with an annoyed expression.
" Yeah Meri?" she asked as she made her way over to me.
" Can ye hilp meh move im so his face isn't in the dirt?" I asked, she nodded and grabbed one of his arms while I got the other.
I cast a quick glance over at the tree the Lizard was in, it was just watching us with its wings open slightly and teeth bared.
That's a lot of loyalty, I thought as we moved the boy back to the spot where we found him.
Just as we set him down he groaned, I stumbled away in case he attacked again, slowly his eyes opened.
Hiccup's(Shadow's) POV
I groaned and slowly opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the girl with a mess of fiery red curls.
Next I saw my brother in a tree," Toothless ?" I asked," I am here brother " said Toothless as he glided down from his perch.
" Why did you not defend me when the blond attacked me from behind?" I growled.
" Because that one you deserved it and if it's makes you feel better I would have killed her if she hit you a second time" he said.
" The red one is the one who shot me!" I Barked.
" I gathered that much, the red one was hell-bent on finding you and the blond saved your life " he said as glanced at the girls.
I looked down at my wound, and realize that it was gone, not even a scar remained.
I looked from the blond then to the red haired girl, I tried to remember what humans say after another person helps them," Th-thank... Yy-you" I said in broken Norse, the words were foreign and unfamiliar in my mouth.
The blond gasped and the red haired girl stared at me with her mouth wide open," Yea can talk!" Exclaimed the red haired girl, I nodded.
" Meri my I have a word with you?" Asked the blond girl, the one called Meri nodded.
They moved a little ways away to talk," Meri he's a Viking and in case you forgot, Scott's and Viking are enemy's!" Whispered the blond.
I thought the only war the Vikings were fighting was the one against the Dragons, I thought.
Meri cast a quick glance at me," He doesn't look like a Vikin" said Meri.
" He just tried to kill you!" Exclaimed the blond girl.
"I know, but thar's somthin about im that draws meh to im" said Meri.
I was confused by her words I turned to look at Toothless and he gave me a smug look.
I was just about to ask him why he was looking at me like that when I felt a slight pull in my mind and I heard a distant voice," RETURN TO THE NEST " It said.
" Queen!" I exclaimed in Norse, both girls looked at me but Meri had a look of horror.
" How do yea know who Aye am ?" She asked, but I ignored her.
" Brother how long have I been downed?" I asked urgently.
" About a half a day " said Toothless he understood the urgency of the question.
" The Queen is calling to me " I said, Toothless grunted and spread his wings, I sprang onto his back.
" Hey whar are yea goin!" Yelled Meri, I looked at her.
" Will...Back" I promised, then Toothless rocketed into the midday sky.
" What should we do? If I tell the Queen I was wounded she will demand proof " I said thoughtfully.
We flew in silence for several wing beats before Toothless spoke, " I have an idea but you are not going to like it ".
" If it will protect the Nest from her wrath I will do it " I said, Toothless grunted.
" Then we'll need help from a Nadder " Said Toothless.
(Time Skip)
" HOW DARE YOU ABANDON THIS NEST!" Boomed the Queen.
" My Queen it could not be avoided, I was wounded in the last raid and needed rest before I could return " I answered.
The Queen was so silent the it set my nerves on edge.
" SHOW ME THE WOUND " She demanded.
I obeyed and lifted the bottom of my armor to reveal the wound, I turned so she could see the other side.
" YOU ARE FORGIVEN FOR YOUR ABSENCE BUT DO NOT ABSENCE, BUT DO NOT LEAVE WITH OUT SENDING WORD TO ME!" She Boomed.
" As you wish my Queen " I said as I bobbed my head.
" DISMISSED!" Boomed the Queen, I left the Queens pit and head back to my den, when I arrived Toothless was waiting for me.
" Did she take the bait?" He asked, I nodded then winced.
" Lay down, this is going to hurt so try not to scream" whispered Toothless, I grunted and took my armor off, I put a bone in my mouth then nodded to Toothless, he narrowed his eyes as he took aim, inhaled then opened his parted his lips in an O shape and shot a plasma blast about the size of a grape into my wound.
I bit down hard on the bone to stop my self from crying out, I heard cracking sounds but I was to much pain to notice.
Eventually the pain subsided, I let out a shaky breath and removed the bone from my mouth and discovered fractures where I had bitten.
" That hurt worse than being lashed" I muttered painfully.
Toothless leaned forward and licked my wound, I winced but let him continue.
When he finished my wound was sealed," Just remember not to make any sudden movements" Toothless said softly, I rubbed his head.
" I HUNGER " Echoed a voice in my head.
I sighed loudly," I might need you to reseal it when we return"I said as put my armor back on.
I carefully climbed onto his back and we flew out of the nest with the rest of the Dragons in tow.
