AN: Yup! Another Mini Update. I'm not sure when hiccup haddock dragon will be able to write a full chapter seeing as they're very busy for the time being. I guess these mini chapters will have to do until they can write longer ones…

Disclaimer: Neither I nor hiccup haddock Dragon own HTTYD.

Hiccup and Toothless slowed their running to a slow trot. Both were out of breath from running for what seemed like hours. The option to fly was a strict no as Hiccup had yet to learn. Moving on feet seemed to be their only option.

Hiccup collapsed, panting. "I can't….I can't run no more." She gasped.

Toothless walked over to her and nuzzled her. "We've put enough distance between us and the village. They don't know we're gone yet so it's gonna take them awhile to find us." He spoke softly before looking to the sky. "We can't run on feet much longer as we'll be too easy to track. You need to learn to fly and fast."

Hiccup nodded, glancing tiredly at her wings. She would do it. She would learn to fly even if it killed her. The safety of them both lay upon if she could do it or not.

She looked at Toothless who sat beside her and her mind drifted back to the day Toothless had asked her to become his mate.

"Hiccup, will you do me the honor of becoming my mate?"

Hiccup's heart beat erractically in her chest. She knew the answer she wanted to give.

"Yes. Of course I will."

Toothless smiled brightly before he tackled her. Hiccup laughed as she was bombarded with licks and nuzzles. After a slow lick to her lips, Toothless looked into her eyes.

"Good."

Hiccup smiled up at him and she knew that this was what she wanted…what she had always wanted.

"Hiccup…can I?"

Hiccup looked into her dragon's eyes and saw the questioning look. She smiled softly, reaching a paw up to gently touch his face. She knew what he was asking. Fishlegs had long ago explained the details of dragon mating and she knew what followed after the consent.

She trusted this dragon more than anyone in her life. She knew that he wouldn't ever hurt her intentionally.

"You don't have to ask." She giggled, leaning up to give a gently lick to his cheek. She rested back into the grass as he looked at her with eyes full of love and compassion. She closed her eyes. Her heart was going to burst from all the love she had for this dragon.

'So this is what it's like to be in love…' She thought.

The rest of the night faded away as the two dragons slowly became one.

Hiccup blushed at the memory as she peaked over at her mate. They hadn't "done it" since that night and Hiccup's heart fluttered every time she thought about it. Hiccup knew that after today, Toothless and she could be separated for good. If the witch got her hands on her, she would be turned back into a human and the thought nearly killed her.

"Hiccup, let's go stay in that cave over there. It's best if we make sure we're hidden."

Hiccup was shaken from her thoughts when her mate spoke and she nodded, moving to get up to follow him. Hiding was the best option as it would delay the Vikings and the witch from finding them. However, knowing the witch, she would always know where they were.

Hiccup glanced around the cave. It was quite large and hidden from view by the vines and underbrush that covered the entrance. She sat down next to the cave wall and watched her mate.

She stumbled over the words in her mind as she tried to find the right ones. This was already embarrassing as it was without her saying the wrong thing to make it even more embarrassing.

Hiccup looked at the ground, pawing it nervously as she spoke. "Toothless?"

Toothless turned, glancing worriedly at his mate. "Hiccup? Is something wrong?"

Hiccup bit her lip and looked away. "I…um…I…" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Thank the gods for her dark scales because if she were human, her face would be beet red. "The witch is after me….and well if she catches me…she'll turn me human again and….I just…." Hiccup clenched her eyes shut and blurted what was on her mind. "Will you make love to me?!"

She slapped a paw over her mouth, eyes wide and face burning hot. Toothless was left speechless, looking at her with wide eyes.

"I…what?" He asked and Hiccup looked nervously at the ground.

"We…we might not…If the witch changes me back…we can't be together anymore and I don't want to lose you, Toothless." She whimpered, looking at him with glistening eyes filled with unshed tears. "I just…Please Toothless…Just one last time…I want to remember you…please." She pleaded, a tear slipping from her eye. "I need you."

Toothless' eyes softened and he walked over to her, nuzzling her. "I swear that I will protect you Hiccup. That witch will not lay a finger on you. I won't allow it." He wrapped a wing around her, pulling her close. "I love you, Hiccup. You're my mate and you'll be my mate for all of eternity."

Hiccup nuzzled into his neck, smiling.

Toothless licked her on the head before resting his on hers. "But…we could be separated, but know, my Hiccup, that I will always find you and that I will always love you."

Hiccup purred, nuzzling into her mate. She looked up and him and smiled. "Then show me. Show me how much you love me."

Toothless smirked. "Gladly."

It was at sunset when Toothless nudged her. "Hiccup." He whispered, gently nudging her. "Come on, Hiccup. We have to go."

Hiccup groaned, stretching before blinking blearily up at her mate. "Wha…Toothless? What is it?"

"We have to go, Hiccup. They're coming closer. I can smell them."

Her eyes widened and she sat up. "Who?!"

"The villagers. The witch is not far behind. I think they realized we were missing and came looking for us. We have to hurry."

Hiccup nodded and quickly followed as Toothless ran from the cave.

They ran through the forest, trying to put as much distance between them and the villagers as they could.

"We have to hurry! Do you think you can try flying?"

Hiccup bit her lip before nodding to herself. "I'll try!"

Toothless nodded. "I want you to do exactly as I say!"

Hiccup nodded, racing to keep up with him.

Toothless spread his wings and jumped, his wings flapping down, giving him a boost into the air. He flew over Hiccup as she ran.

"Hiccup! Spread your wings and jump! When you jump, flap your wings down hard to give yourself a boost!"

Hiccup nodded and took a deep breath before she spread her wings and jumped. She pushed her wings down hard and yelped as she was in the air.

"Angle your wings!"

Hiccup did as told and she spread her wings so that she was gliding through the sky. She was so desperate to stay in the air that she was relying on pure instinct.

Toothless flew up beside her. "You're doing it!"

Hiccup laughed. "This is amazing!"

"Come on. Let's see if you can fly faster." With that, Toothless shot off, leaving Hiccup behind.

She smirked and raced to catch up to him.

"Higher!" Toothless shouted, flying above her. "The clouds will give us some cover!"

Hiccup nodded and pushed her wings to fly higher, following Toothless into the white clouds of the sky.

They flew for several hours before Toothless spotted an island.

"Down there!" He shouted, pulling down into a dive.

Hiccup bit her lip and followed his example, diving after him. Toothless landed gently on the sand of the beach as Hiccup crash landed, hitting the sand and rolling until she hit a tree.

Toothless' eyes widened and he rushed over to her.

"Hiccup! Are you okay?!"

Hiccup groaned, rolling over. "That could have went better."

"Sorry. I should have taught you how to land."

Hiccup shook her head. "I'm fine. We'll just have to try again the next time."

Toothless shook his head and he helped her stand.

"So where are we?" Hiccup asked, glancing around. The waves rolled gently onto the sand and the moon hung almost full in the sky.

"I'm not sure, but hopefully we put enough distance between us and the others."

The two Night Furies walked around, checking out the island.

"Looks like its empty." Hiccup murmured as she glanced around.

Toothless nodded before nudging his mate. "Let's settle down for the night. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."

Hiccup nodded before following her mate to the edge of a rock wall where he burnt the ground and curled up on it. He opened a wing, inviting Hiccup to join him. She smiled as she walked over, laying down and curling up against him.

Toothless draped his wind over her back. He listened as Hiccup's breathing soon evened out and soft snores escaped her lips. He licked the top of her head before laying his head down on his paws. The sound of the waves eventually lulled him to sleep.

The two never noticed the pair of eyes watching them from the cliff above.

"Soon." She whispered, turning to her companion. She smirked, glancing down at the two sleeping dragons. "Soon."

AN: Okay! I admit it. I wrote this one. This chapter was all me. I had the chapter that hiccup haddock dragon sent and it was just….confusing. It left out so many elements and gave me so many questions that I wanted answered. I felt like it was moving too fast so I put together this chapter, my version of what should have been chapter eleven. I wanted to fill in all of the holes that the other chapter dug. I'm going to edit the original chapter eleven and get it posted soon.

Anyways~ the reason I didn't make this chapter longer and just go ahead and add the other chapter to it is because I've been really busy. Not the kind of busy you're thinking, but Fanfiction busy…

Yup. I'm rewriting my story Homecoming because I don't know if you guys have noticed it or not, but….the writing is very sloppy. I wrote that story when I first started writing so…yeah. I'm also going to be editing chapters for this story and fixing them. I also started this story when I first started writing so the first four chapters are a bit….well….not good.

I'm working on chapters for Eve of the Solstice as well as my fanfic Whispering Winds. So yeah…pretty busy. I've been editing and writing almost nonstop.

Well…that's it for today I guess. I need to get back to working on Homecoming. The next chapter for this story should be out either tomorrow or Saturday. All depends on when I get the time to work on it.

Oh and sorry if there was any grammatical errors in this. I didn't have time to really review it. Again, Sorry!

Remember, it's always polite to review~
