Sorry for the cliffhanger! Hope this helps…

(insert heart here)


Stormfly watched as the two Night Furies hurtled from the sky. Something wasn't right, but she couldn't tell from this distance. When the black dragons flew below the tree line the Nadder turned, hurt. Toothless never flew that close to any other dragon. What does it mean? Stormfly refused to consider the possibility.

Taking off, the blue dragon headed back to the village. Well, good for Lightning. Looking behind her, she saw no sign of the Furies, and was too frustrated to consider that something might actually have gone wrong during the little female's test flight.

She would tell no one of what she had seen.


She woke in the dark. Her eyes opened, but she couldn't see anything.

"Ugh…" What happened? She tried to move but her body was trapped, pinned by something warm.

Suddenly it all came back to her. The flight, the fall, Toothless holding her close… Toothless!

Lightning gasped and tried to stand, pushing through the barrier that held her down. It was the middle of the night. The light of the moon filtered through the branches above her, faintly lighting her surroundings. Looking around, she saw no movement, no sign of him anywhere.

"Toothless?" she called out softly. No response. Where could he have gone? She went to walk and fell forward, tripping on some- body.

Toothless was on his back beneath her, not moving. The side of his head was slick with dark... blood, and she realized with horror that it was all over her, too. His hide was scraped all over, and fresh blood seeped from the wounds.

His eyes were closed and Lightning realized, her fear building, that she couldn't hear him breathing. Oh, no…


Whoops! Another cliffhanger for ya. Cheers, lovely people!
