(A/N) Hey readers! I give you another fan-shot! Sad in most parts because I'm in A down mood. I always use fanfiction to let out my feelings onto. If I'm mad or depressed I slice Hiccup's skin because it isn't hurting A physical on the earth person ya know? It's been my way out of cutting and suicide. Gosh my fanfiction is the only way I don't scream, threaten people, cry, and so fourth. A lot of them are really happy, but some are full of blood and all that stuff. It's who I am.
Wanted to say thanks to Rusher Girl for liking the story. I didn't get to reply to them last chapter.
Story idea timeline: Before HTTYD 1.
Story idea: 13 Hiccup is in the forest during A dragon raid. There's really no true plot to this story. It takes place in the middle of Hiccup trying to be strong thorough life's challenges after being bruised and beat up by his bullies previously. Don't worry I decided to give Hiccup A 'friend' sort of, well dragon, it's weird, in this later on.
Warnings/Details: Rated T for Blood, depression, mild language, so fourth. Slight Stoick Hiccup moment, but mostly just stuff that'll probably bum you out.
Summary:
13 Hiccup is walking thorough the forest after taking the village for to long. It's dark and A dragon raid is happening in the village. What happens when A storm causes Hiccup to fall and injure himself? Will A curious Monstrous Nightmare kill him? Or will it follow it's instinct to protect someone like Hiccup?
"It's not fucking fair!" Hiccup shouted as he ran thorough the forest on Berk. It was dark, and the sounds of dragons demolishing his village were behind him in the distance. Branches were around him and it was hailing slightly, typical Berk weather.
The dark sky held no light, even the moon was hidden in clouds. The hail hit Hiccup's skin hard and it hurt. He kept running, trying to push branches out of his way. A large bruise was on Hiccup's eye. Last time he tries to fight back against his bully Snotlout. Tears threatened to come out of Hiccup's eyes but he didn't dare let the weakness show. It started raining harder and smoke was in the air.
"Why am I so different!? Why can't I be as strong as them!" Hiccup tried to hit A nearby tree branch out of his way but the loose dirt beneath him gave in. Hiccup fell down A hill, not seeing it because the darkness and rain. All Hiccup heard was snapping branches and the strong winds. Hiccup kept falling, until he finally hit the cold hard muddy ground down below.
Hiccup lay there still, breathing heavily. His forest green eyes were dull, at A loss for emotion. Hiccup stared at his arm witch his head lay on, blood covering A gash there. His legs hurt, and his right ankle felt like someone was stabbing him. The rain picked up, and Hiccup's breathing slowed. He lost his slight panic and felt completely numb for A moment.
Everything was A blur. Hiccup felt bruises and bleeding cuts on his back, and he shivered against the cold despite his long sleeves and fur vest. It was freezing. Hiccup, for A moment, thought about giving in like he had so many times before. Just letting it all go, closing his eyes, and letting the rain drown him.
A loud thud sounded near him, and Hiccup knew A dragon landed next to him. The creature growled, before nudging Hiccup. Hiccup froze, his senses coming back to him and Hiccup feeling terrified. "Wh-why?" Hiccup's voice was so quiet and raspy it sounded like it wasn't even coming from A human. The dragon looked at him, deep, piercing eyes staring at him. Hiccup could practically feel the fire those eyes held. The anger and fury.
There was something else to. Something Hiccup hadn't ever seen in human nor dragon. In that Monstrous Nightmare's eyes lay A sadness beyond words mixed with fear, hidden far, far back in the beasts mind. Hiccup knew this feeling. That sadness he never let out. That fear he never showed. What was going on?
Hiccup let A long breath out, his form shaking harder. Hiccup didn't move, his eyes remained dull, but his pupils dilated slightly as the Nightmares fire covered body lit up his form. Hiccup felt warmer as the fire grew, and he allowed the Monstrous Nightmare to observe him as if it was no big deal.
The Nightmares large, curious snout reached Hiccup's face, and his gaze got Hiccup's. Hiccup wondered one question. "Why haven't you killed me?" The Nightmare looked down, as if wondering the same thing. How did he understand me? There supposed to be mindless. Hiccup thought to himself.
"Not that I mind." Hiccup's voice was quiet, but the Nightmare heard. It looked up, and sniffed Hiccup's wounds. Something within the dragon clicked. An instinct. Here was A vulnerable, small, injured creature who wasn't A predator nor prey. Why wasn't he helping this creature in need?
The Nightmare's eyes turned to slits and Hiccup tensed. The dragons instincts kicked in, and the dragon shielded Hiccup with his wings, his fire keeping the boy warm. "What the.." Hiccup turned his head, his eyes starting to fill with emotion again. He rolled onto his sore back, looking up at the amazing pattern of the Nightmare's Golden skin lined with red streaks like war pain. His dark brown horns stood tall, and his wings were so huge.
It was so dark outside, so the sight of this dragons' full form lit up by blazing flames towering over Hiccup was amazing. The fire lit up Hiccup's eyes, and the boy felt tense but oddly not very scared. The Nightmare's pupils dilated again, but it still stood over Hiccup. The small boys form seeming to confuse the dragon.
The Monstrous Nightmare felt confused. Why was he suddenly helping this human out of pure instinct. He wasn't like the others though, and not enough for proper food. The dragon wasn't going to let Hiccup just lay here and suffer though. Instead, he decided to keep this boy warm, something in the dragon hurting at the sight of this boy just giving up. It wasn't right!
The dragon settled for just doing what his instincts told him. He protected Hiccup as the rain hail became larger. Hiccup rolled onto his back, but realized that was A bad idea. Hiccup shouted out as his cuts hurt him more. He looked up at the Monstrous Nightmare.
The dragon nudged Hiccup back onto his side, then licked his wounded arm. Hiccup hissed in pain but the blood was cleaned. Hiccup didn't know what the dragon wanted when it continued nudging him. Hiccup looked up into the Nightmares orange, blazing eyes as the creature got it's snout under Hiccup's side, sitting him up.
Hiccup got it now, and sat up wile using his good arm to hold himself strait. He breathed heavily and was becoming pale. The Nightmare noticed this, and used his tail like A bowl, cuffing it so water could collect in it. He let Hiccup drink from the now washed clean of Nightmare saliva 'bowl', before getting closer to Hiccup so his heat helped him more.
A few hours went by, and the sky was started to get less dark just as Hiccup was waking up from A nap he didn't relies he'd taken. It was nearing sunrise. Hiccup looked up at the tired Monstrous Nightmare. He grabbed A piece of bread of his pocket he had saved incase he got hungry out in the forest.
"It's not much, but you need this." Hiccup gave the bread to the Nightmare. "Someone will be out here wondering where I am soon, you need to go." The Nightmare nodded, and Hiccup wondered why this dragon could act so human like and understanding unlike most dragons witch always went in for the kill.
A few minutes later and Hiccup was alone. He tried to stand up, but fell back over as his ankle was apparently injured badly and his arm stung like hell. "Great." Hiccup mumbled to himself. The sun was rising, and pink clouds started forming over head. It was only raining lightly now, and Hiccup heard someone nearby.
"Hiccup!?" Hiccup oddly worried voice of his father shouted. Hiccup stood up despite his ankle, and tried to seem strong thorough the pain wile leaning against A tree. "I-I'm over here!" Hiccup shouted back, his throat dry and sore.
Stoick walked thorough A few tree's, and ran over to his son. "What were you doing out here? What did this to you?" Stoick demanded answers wile placing A large hand on Hiccup's cut up back. "I was walking in the forest when the storm hit. I would've come home dad, honest. I just uh..." Hiccup lifted his bleeding, swollen, and likely fractured ankle witch he had taken the boot off of previously.
Stoick kneeled down and looked at the wound. "Augh. Common, we need to get this treated before it gets infected." Hiccup nodded and his dad supported most, nearly all of his weight. Hiccup and his dad never really spoke, so Hiccup had no need to tell him about all the things that happened last night. Instead, he tried to enjoy this rare moment he had of being so close to his dad's side and his dad showing worry for the pain he was in. If only these things lasted when Hiccup wasn't badly injured.
(A/N) Yeah I know I'm an idiot. Sorry for probably bumming you guys out, I mean it!
