Hey guys, this will probably be the last updated for a while, I'm leaving to work again for another two weeks, but I'm thinking about bringing my tablet this time so I might be lying. Any ways, I thought I should probably say something about the Hiccstrid in this universe, I don't plan on them getting together until they do in the tv series, so we'll be waiting a while for it, plus I'm probably the most ungirliest girl in the universe so I suck at romance stuff, I make it so cheesy and horrible, I hate it. :(. But that's pretty much all, onwards with chapter 11!

It had been about three weeks since Astrid had found Stormfly, and the little dragon had been recovering pretty well. Also it was an exciting day for Astrid, for today was the day that Hiccup would finally take her splint off. But there was a small problem, it was almost sundown and he hadn't showed up yet. Astrid paced back and forth in front of the cove's entrance when she heard,

"Leaving, we're leaving, let's pack up, looks like we're taking a little vacation, forever." Hiccup said and sat behind a rock. "Ok, let's see..." he opened his bag and looked through it to make sure everything was there that he needed, then he heard a sharp growl behind him.

"Ahh! What the," He screamed and turned around and saw Astrid perched on top of the rock. "Astrid? What's wrong with you?"

"We are not going anywhere."

"Why, Astrid, why aren't we going anywhere." Hiccup asked stubbornly.

"Because I want to set you village free from dragons and show them that they can live in peace." Astrid replied, her eyes began to turn an angry shade of red.

"Astrid, my village is probably filled with the most stubborn people in the entire archipelago, they will kill you."

"But if I don't warn them of what and why the dragons are raiding they will be killed themselves. Eventually the Queen will come after them and obliterate the village."

"Wait, what queen?" He asked.

"Ug, you don't know anything about dragons do you?" She yelled angrily. "You know what? I'm not even going to tell you." Then she paused for a second and roared into the purpley black void above them, "I'm going to show you." And with that Toothless landed in the cove and after a few minutes of her and Toothless arguing, and after her splint was removed, Hiccup mounted on his back.

They were soon in the air and Hiccup clung to Toothless's neck as they zipped through the starry night sky towards the dreaded dragons nest.

Toothless had to admit, he was beginning to warm up to the boy who was screaming bloody murdered on his back, even if it was extremely annoying it was his first real flight and he was going almost at top speed, he was surprised the boy hadn't fallen off yet.

They soon saw the foggy gates to the nest and entered, that's when Toothless began to act weird. He shook his head, roared and shrieked, his pupils kept changing shapes, they'd go to cat like slits, then they'd go back to normal, then back to slits.

"Come on Toothless you can do it." Astrid encouraged.

After a few long minutes he stopped, he had managed to keep the demon out of his head, he smiled at Astrid, it had been his first time being able to keep it away.

"Good job Toothless." She said.

They soon arrived at the humongous volcano, and entered in a small cave. They were surrounded by hundreds of controlled dragons carrying their kill to their queen.

Toothless turned into the heart of the volcano, where the hypnotised dragons were dumping their kill into a hole. He perched behind a large rock.

"Why aren't they eating it?" Hiccup whispered.

"You'll see."

As if on cue a Gronckle flew over the pit and coughed up a small fish, a bit too small for the queens liking. She shot up out of the hole and ate him whole.

Hiccup froze, he had never been so terrified in his life, he estimated that this dragon wouldn't even be able to fit in the great hall.

"Could we go now?" He whispered, his voice was trembling.

Astrid nodded, especially when the queen spotted them. The shot out of the top of the volcano, narrowly escaping the queen's blood thirsty jaws, but a zippleback was eaten instead.

When they finally got back to the cove Hiccup was still trembling, Astrid wrapped her arms around him and he soon calmed down.

"So that's why we can't leave, a giant dragon would eat everyone, why didn't you just say so in the first place?" He asked.

"Because your stubborn."

"Am not!"

Astrid raised her eyebrow "Thank you for proving my point."

"So, what now?"

The hybrid sighed and shot a small plasma blast onto a rock to light up the area, then she grabbed a stick and began drawing in the ground.

"Ok," she said "here is dragon island, and there's the queen." Astrid said and pointed to her drawing "The queen has six small eyes, but she mostly relies on smell, and her skin is fireproof just like all other dragons. So like all dragons she has only one flammable place, which is her only weak spot, her insides. In order to kill her, you and Toothless would have to shoot a plasma blast down her throat. But you guys would need back up, aka your cousin his dumb side kicks and that one kid who's nice to you sometimes."

"Judging by the way you said cousin I'd say you really hate my cousin."

"Very much yes."

"So basically I need to train the monstrous nightmare tomorrow instead of kill it like I'm supposed to. Then-" He said.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, WHAT!?" Astrid interrupted "KILL?! DID YOU SAY KILL A DRAGON?!"

Astrid lunged onto Hiccup "ASTRID! Please don't hurt me! Let me explain." Astrid lifted herself off of him. "Ok, I've been going to dragon killing school ever since I found you in the woods. Now before I knew dragons were good my life goal was to kill a Night Fury, but you changed that, after I met you I didn't want to kill them anymore. But my dad signed me up anyway. So I kind of brought dragon nip in every day so I could do well without hurting the dragons. But unfortunately that means that I get the final exam of killing a monstrous nightmare in front of the whole village."

"Actually, Hiccup, that's perfect! You could train it in front of everyone, then maybe they'd stop and help."

"I wish it'd be that easy, but since they're vikings might just call me a trader and execute me, or spook the dragon and get me killed."

"In either circumstance, I'd be there in 30 seconds."

"But they'd kill you!"

"I don't care Hiccup, if it keeps you safe I'll do whatever it takes, even sacrifice myself."

Hiccup wanted to cry, this girl, whom he shot out of the sky and injured very very badly, probably loved him 10 times more than his father ever did. She pulled him into another hug.

"I hate your protective dragon instincts."

"Well, both my parents were protective, so it's not all dragon."

"It's really late, I should probably head home."

"Uh ok," she said then punched his shoulder.

"Ouch, what?"

"That's for being stubborn." Then she kissed his cheek. "And that was for being honest."

Hiccup began to walk towards the entrance to the cove, his head was in the clouds, why did this hybrid human dragon girl have to be so attractive? But she was also just his best friend, which was fine, he wasn't planning on dating anyone for another few years anyways.

"And I only kissed you because I thought it'd be kind of weird if I licked you, it wasn't a lovy dovy thing... ok?" Astrid said awkwardly.

"I kind of figured that, well, see you tomorrow!"

"Bye!"
