Chapter Four
Hiccup pov
It's been three weeks since my dad left with the last search party for the dragons nest. Three weeks since I started dragon training. Three long weeks since I met Toothless but well worth it. Dragons are not like we are told. We have them all wrong but no one will listen to anything else except kill on sight. We have grown close and spend a lot of time in the sky or in the cove where Toothless calls home. He has taught me a lot about dragons and what they like. It's how I get by in dragon training. "Ok Toothless let's try this again. This time we will go with the wind and just glide. Let's go"
Toothless warbles his agreement and takes to the sky. He is more laid back today and that has me a little worried. The others don't know where I go when I disappear but I don't want them to look for me so this has to be quick. We fly just above the clouds until Toothless reacts to a sound I don't hear. "What is it bud?" He takes us down to cloud cover and I can see dragons boxing us in. They look like they are coming back from a raid but going where is what is worrying me. "Toothless can you try and get us out of here?" He shakes his head no.
Landing on a dark ledge in a mountain system of caves we watch as the dragons drop their load into a hole. "Nice to know our food goes to waste." I whisper so only Toothless can hear me. A rumble from the hole is followed by a giant head making me nudge Toothless. "Get us out of here bud. Now." Doing as I asked he flies us out and straight back to Berk. That's the best. My dad was right but he is looking in the wrong place. "Oh no. He can't find out I know where the nest is. If he does he will kill you and I can't let that happen."
"Hiccup calm down." Toothless stands in front of me in his human form. "Nothing will happen my mate."
Shaking my head I cuddle into him. "You don't know my dad. He will kill for the location of the dragons nest."
Toothless moves so I am lying down beside him with my face in his neck. "Ssshhh Hiccup worry about that later for now just rest."
Closing my eyes I empty my mind and take in my surroundings. All I can smell is Toothless and it calms me down in no time. "I love you Toothless."
"I love you too Hiccup. You're my mate and us dragons mate for life." I felt myself relaxing completely and so close to sleep. "Never forget or doubt that."
"Toothless you won't abandon me too will you?"
"Never Hiccup."
Snuggling into my dragon as he returned to his dragon form wrapping a wing around me kept me warm. "Good buddy."
