Hello my favorite readers ! I'm back with two more chapters for this story ! The first one is a bit narrative, but keep reading because you will probably be surprised by the second one...
Answers for the reviews (I'm so hyped I can do that OMG :D) :
Guest *it would be great if you could take a name, easier to address you* : I know that I write nasty weird stuff, I've got a really imaginative mind...I say don't blame yourself if you like it, I understand it can be confusing but nobody here will judge you. In fact, I should be the one to question my sanity for writing that kind of stuff hahaha But I don't care, I just feel like sharing my stuff to people who like this too :) And (I bet it was your review as well? Hence the pseudo !) finding a betareader is a good idea, I didn't think about it when I started writing. I've asked some guys here but I'm still waiting their response, so if any of you wants to mark my stuff or knows someone who will accept, send me a PM please ! :) WARNING not serious stuff go away, I take betaread seriously
Another Guest *please take a name as well* : Nope sorry Hiccup will be forever with Toothless ! :3
Another another Guest *PLEASE WRITE A FAKE PSEUDONYM NEXT TIME PLEASE :(((* : I'm not sure I understand you well. Night Fury transformation ? It's more about some kind of 'powers', nobody would get transformed here...or at least not before a long time. But don't worry I will keep our favorite pairing together :D even if I thought of some HiccupxOC / ToothlessxOC later... (OMG SPOIL SORRY) BUT dooon't worry I will keep this story mainly ToothxHiccup :)
3Toothless *THANKS FINALLY SOMEONE WHO HEARD ME* : First I'm really flattered :3 Unfortunately I can't do that yet. If I find a betareader, I will have to wait for him/her every chapter. If not, you can roughly count one or two updates per week for now, because I'm still inspired, but it might change later when I will be out of ideas...fuck I really needed to end the reviews answers on that note ?! -_-
ANYWAY. Thanks a lot guys for the support and reviews, it keeps me in a really good mood (sometimes I surprise myself writing when I'm supposed to work...). Honestly I didn't expect these :)
Without any more delay, enjoy !
Chapter 7 : Being discovered
Astrid was walking inside the forest, thinking hard. It has been now two days Hiccup missed dragon training. The boy was nowhere to be found. She knows that it wasn't a huge loss, but his disappearance penalized the other teens in dragon training. Today, Gobber has leaved Fishlegs on the touchline because he had nobody to pair with. The training involved working in a team against the Hideous Zippleback. As Snotlout was pairing with Tuffnut and Astrid with Ruffnut, that leaves Fishlegs alone. Not cool. It was time to put some sense in the little fishbone brain and figure what he has in his weird mind. She has seen the boy leave in the forest a lot of time recently, but didn't tell anyone. At least the village won't be destroyed one more time.
She figured she might be able to find him here, but she didn't realise that he could be anywhere in this endless forest. So now she was just wandering aimlessly, thinking on what the strange boy could find interesting in spending time here.
She suddenly stopped in her track, looking at a weird destroyed tree. It was looking like something big had crashed into it. Surely, a huge path was digging the ground near it, leading to a strange boulder. She hopped on it, and became even more confused. A wrecked bola was standing a few feet away and a huge mark was printed on the soil. Astrid looked her surroundings, then jumped down to check on the rest of the viking weapon. The ropes had been cut clean at some points, as if someone as cut free the beast trapped in it. 'That's impossible. Nobody would have freed a dragon or anything else, unless he wanted to die,' she thought. She took the weapon with her, planning to give it back to Gobber for him to investigate. But her curiosity tickled her. She had to found where Hiccup was, and if he was the reason of this mess.
She returned to her wandering walk, thinking harder than anything. After what seemed like 10 minutes, she frozed again. Somewhere near her position, she could hear a slapping noise and some whinings. She spotted some boulders which were making a sort of entrance to another place, the weird sounds coming from there. She slowly walked in and was submerged by the spectacle in front of her. She found herself in a pretty huge cove, with enormous trees full of birds and other living beings. At the center was a lake, with some vegetations inside and near it. A lot of boulders was on her side, so she entered and hid. The sounds were more distinct and close. She allowed herself to glance in the cove from the top of the rock.
Shock was not strong enough to describe how Astrid was feeling.
-|:|-
At some distance from Astrid, near a tree, was a dragon. A sleek, feline, black dragon. But there was someone else under it, and it looked very like a little human called Hiccup. Said boy seemed unconscious, lying flat on the ground, totally naked. She wasn't sure if it was him, they were far from her, she could only see the lower part of his body. But her intuition told her it was him. The rest of his body was covered by the rear and tail of the beast. She didn't know what it was doing, but the slapping noise came definitely from it. It seemed to move its hips from left to right and vice versa. 'What is it doing ?! I hope Hiccup is alive !'
The slaps stopped when the dragon backed away, revealing Hiccup. She gasped when she saw his bruised cheeks and his belly. Even at that distance she could see it. How can it became that big ? 'The beast is torturing and feeding him ! What kind of dragon is that ?! This is the first time I see one of them playing with a human ! Does it plan to fill Hiccup like a chicken before eating him alive ? I have to do something, and fast !' The dragon cooed and chirped, looking at Hiccup attentively. Suddenly Hiccup spoke, his eyes still closed. She forced herself to listen.
"W-Where am I ? Who's talking ?" He moaned slightly. 'Uh ? Nobody talked ! Is he dreaming ?' Thought Astrid.
Hiccup slowly opened his eyes. "T-Toothless ? What are you doing here ? Oh nevermind, we have to be in the cove if you're here. But then, why I am in the cove ? Did I fall asleep ?" 'What the heck is toothless ? And this is not a way to wake up trapped between dragon paws, Hiccup ! Maybe he's still drowsy...' By the time, Hiccup was mumbling to himself and the dragon was making some weird dragon noises, with a note of what seems to be laugh.
"Okay, this is ridiculous. Why do I have the impression that my dragon his talking to me ?" Astrid's eyes widened at that comment. 'D-Did he just say my dragon ?! And again nobody's there apart from me ! How can he hear someone speaking ?'
The dragon began to approach Hiccup. Astrid tensed, ready to intervene if something went wrong. She was glad she took her favorite axe and some daggers with her. The beast raised on his hind legs, and approached again until it was merely inches from Hiccup's face. Astrid couldn't see what was happening because the dragon has his back in front of her. 'What is it doing ? What is it doing ?!'
Hiccup screamed. Astrid readied herself to run and throw her axe. But she stopped when she saw that the dragon hadn't moved. Hiccup had backed away from it and was clenching his head with his hands. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME ?!" He shouted. He was starting to shiver, holding his shoulders with his hands, looking at the dragon. Said beast made some more grunts and growls then sat on his rump. Hiccup kept speaking and the dragon made noises. But Astrid wasn't paying attention, she was back behind the boulder, hard breathing. Deep inside her mind, she felt the wrongness of the situation. She replayed all the things she has witnessed until now, and everytime she arrived at the same conclusion.
Hiccup was speaking to the dragon.
Everytime Hiccup had spoken, the dragon had made grunts, like it was answering him ! "T-Toothless ? What are you doing here ?" "Why do I have the impression that my dragon his talking to me ?", "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME ?!" It was crystal clear. But she was still deeply confused by his reaction. First he woke up and spoke to it like any casual discussion, then suddenly he screamed and back away, but didn't really run away from it and kept speaking to it ! What in Thor's name was happening ?! Astrid tried to calm herself. 'Okay, breath, breath ! Good, now exhale...that's it...One more time...' She spent a few minutes recovering, then looked again at the scene that was taking place behind her.
Hiccup and the dragon were still exchanging, sometimes casually and other times louder. Astrid jumped when the dragon suddenly roared. Then it stopped. Both were silent for a few seconds, not looking at each over. They started speaking again, when the dragon approached the boy, growled a bit, lied down behind the boy and started licking him. "O-Okay...I guess I will stay here then..." said Hiccup nervously.
