Can you tell I kinda dislike Stormfly? Shoot me but she's not cute like Meatlug and Toothless.
Also, I've been working to make a chapter buffer for this thing- it's just so I can have at least one update for you guys every day. :)
Chapter 12: Hiccup Goes for a Spin
Stormfly was fuming. Her eyes were bulging with anger. How dare that Night Fury attack her, shame her?
He didn't have hatchlings. That much was obvious. In her mind, Toothless was too high strung to settle down this quickly. He was practically doomed to be alone forever.
She was bound and determined to find out his secret. No matter what the cost.
"Toothless!" The black dragon felt a pang in his heart as his human clung to the rocky side of the cove, struggling to reach the dragon. "Toothless! You're back!"
The human's voice cracked in relief. Toothless ran right over to him, pressing his head against Hiccup's chest. Hiccup wrapped his arms around the dragon's large head, smiling contently as Toothless hummed.
"Oh, bud."
Oh, Hiccup.
Not for the first time, Toothless wished Hiccup could talk to him. Not the strange bubbly sound of the boy's own language, but Dragonese. But as far as he knew, that was impossible.
They spent the rest of the day eating and enjoying the other's presence while Hiccup cursed as he wished he could balance on one leg.
Toothless felt bad about that, but there was nothing he could do, except try and get him a makeshift crutch. Which was usually a tree branch that Hiccup ended up breaking after a while because Hiccup would roast his fish on it.
Toothless smiled at the human, thinking of how Meatlug had assumed he had a clutch of hatchlings. This one was as much trouble then five clutches. And worth as much as a thousand Night Fury dragons.
Hiccup caught his gaze and smiled back.
And all was right in their own little world.
Toothless' nest was abandoned. It looked like it had been that way for a long time, with cobwebs covering everything, and the nest was cold.
At least it was before Stormfly ripped it to shreds. Little tuffs of soft material Toothless had found were all over the cave, and when Stormfly was satisfied nothing was here, she left.
Toothless flew off again the following day, but returned shortly. He seemed excited and bounced in circles around Hiccup. Hiccup gave him a good scratch behind the ears, and the dragon still wouldn't calm down.
When Toothless found he couldn't convey his discovery to his human, he gave up and stuck his head under Hiccup, lifting the boy off the ground. "Wha-?! Toothless!"
Hiccup slid down the dragon's back, landing awkwardly and on his stomach, facing the dragon's tail. Much to his dismay, Toothless spread his wings out.
He was about to go on his first flight.
Hiccup screamed as the dragon took off, sliding down Toothless' back further until he managed to get a grip on the Night Fury's tail.
Toothless made sure to stay high, up in the clouds, just in case. If he was spotted with Hiccup- he didn't know how the other dragon's would react. Kill the boy, most likely.
And then kill him.
Toothless landed several minutes later on the opposite side of the island, Hiccup stiff as a board from the cold and fear.
Toothless swung his tail in front of his face, humming in amusement as the little human clung to for dear life.
Hiccup glared at him. "You-you sir-" he started, ready to give the dragon a good talking-to about asking.
Toothless gave his tail a slight shake and Hiccup lost his grip and fell. He was so red- faced and mad that the Night Fury rolled over onto his back, unable to stop his strange gurgling laughter.
Hiccup couldn't be mad at the adorable dragon for long. "You think that's funny, do you?!" He managed to get over to Toothless' side. "I'll show you funny," he muttered, then started tickling.
Toothless squirmed, and a roar of surprise erupted out of him. He smacked Hiccup with a wing, and Hiccup stopped, still smiling. Toothless stalked off, but couldn't stop his happy purring.
"And where do you think you're going?" Hiccup asked incredulously.
Toothless gave him a glance over his shoulder and continued walking. Hiccup huffed and got to his foot with the help of a nearby tree. "It's rude to leave a cripple who needs help!" He shouted out at Toothless, who was already coming back.
Toothless walked slowly beside his human, Hiccup leaning heavily on him. Toothless purred encouragement as they kept walking even after the sun was well into it's daily walk across the sky. Toothless hadn't thought it would take this long- he wished he could just fly though the woods but since he didn't know the exact location, he didn't want to make a sharp turn and have Hiccup hit a tree.
When they arrived there, he heard Hiccup's sharp intake of breath. "Toothless! This fixes everything!"
Thought you might like that. Toothless hummed back and Hiccup ran towards the shambles of what remained of a forge.
Whoop. I am spitting out chapters today, yes sir.
And you sweet reviewers I love you all.
