Hey guys! I got some bad news... Because of my school and personal life I won't be able to write a lot. But don't worry I won't abandon this story! Just a looooot of homework personal things, that's what you get when you're going to an art school. But enough of that enjoy!
oOo
"Where is Toothless?" They all look around, suprised by Astrid's question. They were all too focused on the wounded heir they're crowded around. They all spin their heads, looking for the missing Night Fury.
Fishlegs is the first one to spot him. "Over there!" He points to the far side of the packed-down-snowfield.
The Night Fury was flying like a fish out of water. He'll try to fly to the direction of the bad alpha, ridden by Drago away from the island only to change direction and trying to come back.
"Oh gods" Astrid whispers in utter horror, realizing in what situation the dragon is currently in. She turns back to Hiccup, taking in his pained expression. At first glance, she thinks that the moisture on his cheeks ( one pale, almost as white as snow, the other red from the burns) is just sweat. But whe, she looked closer she saw that it where tears leaking out of his eyes. With tear-filled eyes she kisses her own fingertips and put them on his white cheek. "Be here when I get back." She whispers, and before she registers what she's doing she is allready half-way across the field.
She was running like never before. Her legs a blur and her eyes fixed on the dragon that was trying to get away from Drago and the alpha. Suddenly Toothless jerked and Drago fell off. He landed on the tusk of his Bewilderbeast and the Night Fury on the ground, where he was shrieking and rolling around. With one last glance at the Night Fury, he left to destroy Berk.
When Astrid was almost at the dragon she skids to a sudden stop and takes a couple of frightened steps back. Toothless' pupils are shifting from razorsharp slits to horrified black globs inside his lime green eyes.
She could just run back to Hiccup and forget about the dragon. As soon as that tought comes up she disregards it. 'No, if Hiccup doesn't die, he would if he loses his best friend. He can survive without Stoick or Valka, but Toothless...'
If Hiccup lost Toothless, Hiccup would be lost as well.
"H-hey, Toothless." Astrid says cautiously and taking a carefull step forward. At the sound of her voice, he whips his head towards her. He growls at her and bares his teeth, his his eyes flickering violently. She gasps in fear and almost jumps back. Almost. Something tells her that not standing her ground will make things better.
"It's Astrid, Toothless. You remember me right?" She stretches out both her hands so that she seems more inviting than defensive. His teeth sink slowly into his gums and his pupils begin to grow. Astrid sighs. 'Well, that was easier than I expected.'
But then he takes a glance at the departing dragons above the fleet of ships and the monster begins to return. He looks over at the group crwoded around the body of his best friend, the one he hurt, and begins to shake his head vigorously and whimpers.
"No, no, hey it's okay, it's okay!" Astrid says, trying to calm him down. She doen't notice how far forward she's come until her cold hand are settling on either side of Toothless head. He no longer whimpers and flails, but his eyes still shudder, trying to decide to leave or to stay and fight.
"Hey" Astrid's tone softens. Toothless bliks and when his eyes blink back open there is wetness pooled along the bottom of his green irises. 'He's crying. He is actually crying!' "Toothless you know you'd never do this on purpose. You'd never hurt him."
"You'd never hurt Hiccup."
At the sound of his friend's name, his pupils dilate fully.
"Please Toothless, he needs you. Stay with him."
He gives a small warble and gives her a small lick. She let's out small laugh and huges the dragon. "Alright, let's go"
oOo
I am so sorry for the long wait guys but as I already said I got lots of homework. But now that i'm sick I can write! So I'm going to try and publich the next chapter as soon as possible. I'm also going to set a poll online for Hiccup's eye. Is he going to go half-blind? Or not? Your choice people! For now Queen bewilderbeast out!
