Thank you for your patience loyal readers and for your input it was much appreciated to help me decide what I would like to do. Anyway on with the story and I look forward to hearing from you as always :)


'TOOTHLESS!'

The Night Fury could vaguely hear someone calling his name out but he wanted nothing more than to ignore them. His body felt heavy and his head felt fuzzy as he tried to recall what had happened to him.

'Toothless listen to my voice…you need to come back to us, you have to wake up NOW'

The voice persisted but he now recognized who it belonged to, it was Tyra's and she sounded desperate to wake him from his deep sleep. He wondered why she was being so stubborn about it and just join him instead and tried harder and harder to remember why he was even asleep in the first place.

'You NEED to wake up Hiccup needs you'

Like a punch to the snout suddenly everything came back to the onyx dragon in a flash. Hiccup and Astrid's fight, chasing Hiccup and the other dragon into the forest, the fight, and his hatchling's terrified face as he was taken away…

Toothless' eyes suddenly shot open and his panicking green eyes met Tyra's slightly relieved blue ones. He looked around desperately but when he didn't find a little human boy with baby soft brown hair and innocent green eyes his worst nightmare was confirmed.

'They took him, they actually took him from me' he hissed as he tried to stand.

'It's no use the poison is still running through your system, just let it run its course' Tyra explained gently placing a paw on his side.

'No! I need to find him now he could already be facing the wrath of the queen as we speak. How long have I been out?' Toothless growled frustrated with how useless his body was right now.

'Well we found you not long ago and it is nearly sunset now' the dragon queen replied pressing her paw down on his side harder knowing very well what the reaction was going to be.

'RELEASE ME I HAVE TO GET TO HIM NOW! PLEASE!' the Night Fury cried as he tried desperately to get up.

'LISTEN TO ME' Tyra growled in such a command that Toothless even the humans in the search party stopped and gave her their undivided attention.

'You will be no good to him as you are now. Let me care for you tonight to get the poison out of your body and tomorrow we and the humans will get him back. I will be by your side ripping their wings from their back and clawing out their still beating hearts from their chests for daring to cross us' Tyra vowed to him.

Even with the situation as dire as it was the Night Fury still could not help but take notice oh how much he wanted to claim the dragon queen. She seemed to become even more beautiful to him as she spoke of destroying the ones that dared to steal his hatchling that they both loved with all of their souls.

'Very well…we will leave at dawn with the humans' Toothless reluctantly agreed before daring to glance over at Hiccup's parents.

Stoick held Valka in a tight embrace as she wept for their lost child and the guilt came tenfold to the Night Fury for his failure to protect their son. The image of Hiccup's terrified face in the clutches of those that wanted to hurt him would be forever burned into his mind. Toothless' would never forgive himself if those fools did anything to harm him. If they did though the Night Fury swore for every bump, bruise and scratch he found on his hatchling when he found him would be another minute of suffering for his captors on top of the slow torture they would endure for every second that they had Hiccup in their possession.

'This must be what Stoick felt like when I took Hiccup from him' Toothless randomly thought as the feelings of fear, anger, protectiveness and dread all swirled around in his gut making him a very dangerous creature to be around.

He looked over to the man once more and felt as if he was looking into a mirror as the feelings in heart were being reflected the human's eyes. Stoick stared back at him as he clung onto his wife as if she too would disappear if he let go with a determined expression.

'We're getting him back, end of discussion' his face seemed to express and Toothless nodded back in agreement.

Hiccup was terrified but not as scared as he was for his dragon friend. When he watched the other dragon stab Toothless with its spikes he screamed for the Night Fury when he watched his friend fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

'Please don't be dead' the little boy thought as tears fell from his eyes.

The sight of an island got his attention and his eyes went wide as he watched all the dragons flying towards the place. He noticed they were also flying towards the island and got a really bad feeling about it.

"Come on Hiccup think," he mumbled to himself as he tried to think of a way to get away from his captor.

Suddenly he remembered that he had the blade in his boot and a plan quickly formed in his head. He breathed in deeply before letting out a sigh and got to work squirming inside his captor's grasp. There was just enough room for him to curl himself into a small so he could reach inside his boot and pull out the dagger. He peaked up to see that his captor was none the wiser to his plan and that they were almost at the island. He knew he had to do this just right or else he was going to be in even more trouble than he already was.

'This might be a crazy plan but it's better than doing nothing' he thought as he waited for the right moment.

When they were close enough to the island he took the dagger and stabbed it as hard as he could into the palm of the dragon's claw. The beast screamed in surprise before unconsciously letting go of his prize. He was in too much pain from the sudden attack to realize that he'd lost the little boy who fell to the island with a hard thud.

"Ow," Hiccup said as he rubbed the back of his head and looked around.

"Thor, I can't believe that worked I did it," the child said to himself before he quickly realized he wasn't out of the woods yet and scrambled into a small space he saw in the rock face that was small enough for him to fit into.

He crawled his way inside and only peeked out enough to see the Nightmare and the Nadder finally realize that Hiccup was no longer in the dragon's claw and began screaming in panic. They began searching the water and shore frantically as Hiccup tucked himself further into the crevice of the cave. When the dragon's finally left Hiccup let out a sigh of relief feeling like he was finally alone and the adrenaline of his escape began to subside. As it did all the other emotions of fear, sadness, and concern about whether or not his friend was ok began to catch up to him. It all became too much for a seven year old to take and he cried his little heart out as the sun set and night fell across the island and all that surrounded it.

The storm cutter was resting after a long day of hunting for the devil of a queen that lived on this island. He was lucky today to find fish nearby for himself to eat, three of them to be exact and he was looking forward to his dinner. He was interrupted however by strange sounds coming from the rock face.

Grumble

'When did the rocks start making noises?' the dragon wondered as he stood up to investigate the strange noise and began sniffing the rocks.

GRUMBLE

The storm cutter thought whatever is making that noise must be an enormous creature and became defensive in case the owner of that noise jumped out and attacked him. As he got closer to a crevice in the wall he smelt something unusual.

GGGGRRRRRUUUUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLLEEEEE

The dragon jumped back from the intensity of the noise inside the crevice and began sniffing inside to see what was causing such a sound to occur. Suddenly his nose made contact with something soft and was caught off guard. He looked closer inside to see what looked like brown fur rolled into a tight ball. . He blinked a few times before he realized that this creature was foreign to this island and immediately knew what it was.

'What is a human hatchling doing here?' he thought before he recognized the scent of a Night Fury on the child.

'It must be the Night Fury's treasure I've heard about. He must have been taken to be fed to the queen' the storm cutter thought as he watched the child slowly turn his head to him with terrified eyes.

GGGGGGRRRRRUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLLEEEEEE!

'Mother of dragons, you're the one making that noise?!' the dragon growled in shock at the child who heard him growl and began to wail.

"I want mama and daddy," the hatchling cried breaking the dragon's heart.

'Shh shh it's alright calm down your safe' the dragon cooed and Hiccup's cries slowly quieted down when he recognized the dragon trying to comfort him the way Toothless did when they first met.

"I want Toothless," Hiccup said with watery eyes.

'I'm certain they are coming for you little one' the dragon assured the child but he began realizing the child did not speak the language of the dragons when the hatchling turned his head in confusion.

As a show of good faith the storm cutter walked over and grabbed one of his fish before sliding it into the crevice before the child assuming the little one was probably very hungry.

"Thank you' Hiccup said with a small smile that the dragon found contagious.

Suddenly Hiccup's face became scared again and the dragon knew right away that he must have saw another dragon coming. The storm cutter reached into the crevice to push Hiccup as far back as he could before going back over to his fish trying to look calm.

'Storm cutter was there something of interest to you in there," the Nadder asked looked suspicious.

'Just storing a fish there for later, don't even think of taking it Nadder or I will destroy you,' the storm cutter replied.

The Nadder snorted at him before walking over to the hole, he would leave no crevice unchecked until he found the human hatchling for the queen.

Hiccup recognized the dragon from earlier before looking down at the fish in his hands. He quickly took the fish and rubbed it all over himself before tucking himself as tight into the crevice as he could and covered his mouth as the Nadder sniffed inside the hole and found the fish.

'GET AWAY FROM MY FISH NADDER' the storm cutter growled trying to cover up his fear for the child hiding inside.

'Fine fine keep your pathetic catch' the Nadder replied before giving the hole another glance and taking off out of sight.

Hiccup slowly crawled out of the hole and looked around carefully before turning his attention to his new friend with a smile.

"Thanks again I owe you one," the boy said happily.

'Yes, well we need to get you out of here. It's not safe out in the open' he replied before leading the little boy to his cave. After they got settled in Hiccup looked up to the dragon reluctantly.

"Umm, can I ask you for one more favor?" the child asked and dragon nodded his head in reply.

"Can you umm please cook the fish for me? It'll hurt my tummy if I eat it raw," Hiccup explained and the storm cutter was more than happy to oblige. With a quick blast at the fish cooking probably more than necessary but Hiccup was just as grateful.

The child devoured the fish before letting out a huge yawn and curled himself on the ground for the night.

"I'm glad I ran into you dragon, it was getting pretty scary but now that I've found you I don't have to be afraid anymore," the child said with a warm smile.

The dragon was truly touched by the little hatchlings words, it had been a long time since his own hatchlings had grown and no longer needed him to take care of them. It was nice to feel needed again and appreciated for that matter, not like that blasted queen who gave no concern to her starving people and only cared about filling her own belly. Another yawn got the dragon's attention and he found the small child curled up into a ball and fast asleep.

'He reminds me of when the hatchlings were first born and curled up next to their mother' he thought affectionately as he recalled those happier times.

He dearly missed his mate, they were never together it seemed since they were worked to the bone to feed the mad queen. They had made sure their children escaped the fate of their parents and told them the day they learned to fly to keep going and never look back for even a moment until they were at the next island at least. He missed them all as he looked over to the sleeping human and gently smiled as he picked him up with one wing and tucked him into his chest for the night.

'His parents, they must be terrified for their hatchling' he thought to himself before he decided he would do what he had to too get this child off the island and safely back to his clan.

With that decided he curled his body around so that his back faced the entrance of the cave in case of unwanted visitors before deeming it safe to fall asleep for the night.

'Pleasant dreams tiny hatchling' the storm cutter cooed.

"Night Toothless" Hiccup mumbled in his sleep when he heard the growl and automatically assumed it was his friend curling around him for the night.

Toothless laid on Hiccup's bed taking comfort in his little friend's scent that still remained in the sheets and in his room. He still felt like he could have done more to ensure the safety of his hatchling but the more he replayed it in his head the more it remained the same. With a heavy sigh he curled around the bed for the night.

'Sweet dreams Hiccup, be safe my hatchling we're coming for you'
