So, I found out it's very hard to write one story while the next is bouncing around in your head, screaming to get out. I will finish this one though. Enjoy!

Chapter 14 Saving Hiccup

Dagur and his men were approaching fast, brandishing swords and axes. Dagur did not look pleased. Wrenlou got behind Hiccup and opened the tail. He gave the dragons the fly command and they took to the sky. Toothless was a little slower than usual, having to carry two people. Arrows and bola's were shot up at them and the dragons swerved to avoid getting caught. Not all of them could dodge everything though. Next to him, Snowflake shrieked and Wrenlou looked at her, worried. The dragon pulled a crossbow bolt out of her right leg before firing a plasmablast down to the men on the beach, scattering them. As Toothless flew higher, Wrenlou glanced down at the beach. Dagur was screaming at them, but they were already to far up to hear what it was.

With Hiccup in his arms, head resting on his right shoulder, Wrenlou steered Toothless north. He looked over at Snowflake, but she seemed to be doing okay. The wound didn't seem to bother her. He had absolutely no idea how far Berk was from the island they had just left, but he hoped it wasn't too far. Hiccup was burning up again.

They had been flying for two hours and there was still no sign of Berk. They had past plenty of islands and seastacks, but not the one they wanted to go to.

'We're going in the right direction, right Toothless?'

The dragon crooned and nodded. Wrenlou looked down. The ocean was wild, the wind sweeping up the waves. He was staring to get worried that they wouldn't find Berk on time. Hiccup started coughing again. Toothless bent his neck, trying to look at his rider.

'Toothless go down a little.'

The dragon dove towards the water, leveling out before touching it. Hiccup stopped coughing, but now his breathing was raspy. Wrenlou grabbed him tighter, pulling him closer, like he was afraid he would fall. He looked back. The dragons were still following him and there was no sign of Dagur anywhere. At least they had that going for them.

They were passing over Dragon island when Wrenlou suddenly felt something warm on his arm. He looked down. Blood.

Oh no...

'Toothless! Land! Now!'

hearing the urgency in his voice, the Night Fury swooped down on the rocky shores of Dragon island and Wrenlou jumped off his back, pulling Hiccup down on the ground. He had been right. The wound had been bleeding. A lot. And he had no fresh bandages. Toothless cooed and nudged Hiccup's hand, but the man was barely conscious. Wrenlou pulled the blanket from his shoulders and pressed it down on the wound. Hiccup cried out in pain and Toothless wailed. While holding the blanket down, Wrenlou pulled the bandage from his arm. It was all he had at the moment. His arm was still purple and swollen, but it appeared to be less. While Toothless held Hiccup up he secured the blanket in place, hopefully stopping the bleeding.

'Snowflake! Come here girl.'

The dragoness stopped licking her wound and rushed over.

'Toothless, I need you to stay here.'

Toothless wailed and shook his head, moving in between Wrenlou and Snowflake.

'Toothless, listen. I know you don't want to leave him, but I will be faster if I don't have to control your tail. Hiccup could die if we don't get him to Berk and Snowflake might get us there in time.'

Toothless wailed and smashed his tail on the ground, like he was cursing the prosthetic.

'Look, as soon as I drop off Hiccup, I will come back for you, okay?'

Toothless made no sound, but when Wrenlou lifted Hiccup to put him on Snowflake's back, he helped by pushing him up with his nose.

'Don't worry Toothless, I won't leave you here. I'll come back for you.'

Snowflake took to the sky, followed by Liberty and Firewing. Wrenlou sighed and steered her back down.

'Guys, all of you have to stay here for now. Toothless, keep them here please?'

The Night Fury looked up, his eyes full of pain and worry, but he kept the other dragons from following them.

Snowflake flew as fast as she could and at last they saw the houses of Berk appear in the distance. She flew so fast that they overshot the plaza at first, but then she dove down. She was still going to fast though, and they landed in cloud of dust and a tangle of arms legs and wings.
