A/N: Sorry for that little break I took. Well…not really a break, but whatever lol

So my sister is getting one of those really creepy/scary computer games. So I think that either 1: she is going to love the game and hog the computer most of the time or 2: She will get scared after playing it for eight minutes, run upstairs screaming, and then I'll sneak back on like a boss. So…you know…it could go both ways, right? But anyway, I was watching Puss and Boots. Shocker. ANYWAY THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT. I saw the commercial…for the traveling show of How To Train Your Dragon stadium live thing. So me, being the big, mature woman I am, walked over to my mother and said that I was going to go to that show or I was going to die. My mother was so nice, as soon as it gets close to St. Louis, we're going to it! IM A WINNER! :D

Hiccup swallowed uncomfortably as he scooted away from Toothless, the two dragons in front of him snapping and growling back and forth to one another. The boy winced slightly, his hand that touched the dragon seeming to burn and sting. Confusion and questions ran through his mind, was this dragon a friend, or not? She hadn't tried anything when he reached out to her, she even touched his hand with her own. But the way Toothless was reacting to her seemed to point out otherwise, the dragon's hackles raised as he snarled out a challenge to the she-dragon.

Shadowclaw was obviously angered by the turn of events, ears flat against his head as he looked on at the scene with narrowed eyes. Ludi let out a huff, turning and springing up to land heavily on Hiccup shoulder. Even though she had gotten used to the large jump, there was no denying that she was getting far too large to take her normal spot on his shoulder. Unbalanced, Hiccup let out a yelp as he staggered, Ludi's extra weight making the small boy topple over and land face-first in the snow, Ludi falling down with him. The cat spat crossly, pushing herself up to her paws with a frazzled look. The cat's fur stuck out in awkward patterns, if there was a pattern at all. Ice clung to her fur, and Ludi tried to shake herself out stubbornly, a low growl rumbling in her throat.

Hiccup was about to turn to help her back up, but froze, eyes widening. The female dragon was turning, an obvious angered look plastered on her face as she threw a look back at Toothless. The Night Fury was looking on stonily, waiting for her to leave expectantly. He didn't say or move, trying to get her to stop as Hiccup had done before. The female yipped back sharp words back at Toothless before she whipped back around, tail lashing twice, as if she still didn't want to leave. But then she shook herself, giving yet another growl as she pushed herself off the ground, soaring into the air gracefully, without hesitation.

Hiccup didn't move, still sitting in the snow. He watched her shape get smaller and smaller until she disappeared completely, leaving the four behind and alone once more. For a moment, nothing made a sound except for the faint howling of the wind through the rocks of the cove, buffeting the sparse trails of lichen still clinging to the walls. But Hiccup let out a small grumble, pushing himself up to his feet and dusting the snow off of his snow with a fixed look. He didn't look at Toothless, not at Ludi, and not at Shadowclaw, though he could tell that they were all looking at him, waiting for him to say something.

Letting his hands drop to his sides, Hiccup blew out a low sigh, his bangs fluttering up into the air from the small blast. Finally he looked over at Toothless, blinking slowly as he stared at the Night Fury. Large green eyes stared back at him, round and worried as they looked back at him. Frowning, Hiccup huffed once more. "I guess." He mumbled, not exactly sure what he was replying to. Toothless's wings fluttered slightly, the dragon tilting his head to the side as he looked at the smaller human. Glancing back up at the sky, Hiccup scuffed the ground with the tip of his boot softly. "I know that making friends with recent people haven't worked out a lot…but…" He trailed off for a moment, blinking rapidly before he finished the sentence. "….she seemed sort of different."

He looked over at Toothless, but the Night Fury did not meet his gaze.

"I still don't see why you did any of that." Shadowclaw said stubbornly, glaring over at Toothless angrily. What the youngling didn't make in size, he made up for his brains. The young dragon was smarter than most, something that wasn't working in Toothless's favor right now. The two dragons were sitting out in front of Hiccup's house, the boy having gone in a rush to the Blacksmith's saying he would be back. Twilight settled over the island, and a cold nip started to make itself known. But Shadowclaw paid no heed to any of it. "It was idiotic!"

"The last time I met another Night Fury was Nightflight, and you saw how well that went." Toothless snapped, glancing over at Shadowclaw shortly. "Mistyeyes had nothing to tell us, she was just saying that."

"And you know that for sure?" Shadowclaw demanded, refusing to be outdone. "You don't know that, right? She said that she had something IMPORTANT to tell us, Toothless. It could have actually been something we needed to know. And now we'll never find out what it is." The youngling glared down at the ground angrily. "You can't let what happened with Nightflight affect your judgment, otherwise you'll be messing up a lot of other things."

"I didn't ask for your opinion." Toothless said gently, trying not to let himself get angry. "I'm just not risking anything as of right now. It wouldn't be wise to go making friends with people like that. She was with the other Night Furies, and they attacked us, remember? Think about it: why would she be the only Night Fury to feel guilt after something like that? It's obvious she's WITH them."

"You didn't listen to my opinion back in the cove, either." Shadowclaw grumbled bad-temperedly. "If you just listened to me, maybe we could have seen which one of us is right. Since we don't know where the others are staying, we can't find her now. Hiccup was right, she did seem different. She seemed like…she seemed a bit like you, actually." Shadowclaw turned and gave Toothless a smile, a trick that Toothless had taught him after he came here to the island. "Yeah…that's who she reminded me of! You!"

Toothless scowled, not amused by the comparison. "I'm nothing like her." He snapped.

"Sure you are, Toothless." Shadowclaw quipped happily. "And maybe that's why you don't want her to be here. After all, that's the only reason I can think of for you. It's not like you're giving me anything to work with, right?" His voice became a little more bitter as he ended ungracefully, looking at the older male sourly. Toothless looked down at him, a hint of amusement playing in his eyes as he gave a small smile to the littler dragon.

"If you think that, you must not know me at all." He yawned loudly, fidgeting as he craned his neck to look back and forth. What was Hiccup doing, and why was it taking him so long? "Anyway, it's just like you said, there's no finding her after this, we might as well just drop he subject." At this, he gave Shadowclaw a look that clearly enforced his statement, the youngling giving a heavy sigh as he looked away dejectedly, cheeks slightly puffed out.

Sighing through his nose, Toothless turned and looked in the direction of the Blacksmith's stall, wondering dimly what Hiccup forget to do and what was giving him so much trouble. He shuffled his feet on the frostbitten grass, wincing slightly. Maybe there was some truth in Shadowclaw's words…maybe he was only thinking of himself. That is, he was letting Nightflight cloud his judgment. But the dragoness clung in his memories like a black shadow, he couldn't shake her off, no matter how much he tried. He couldn't stop thinking about her for some reason, he couldn't stop wondering what would have happened if…

He shook his head rapidly, growling under his breath. He wouldn't think about that, he had no reason to. And yet…he couldn't help remembering how it used to be with her, how they would wake up every morning together. When they were little kids, they used to play all day, when they got older they hunted and flew together. Nightflight always seemed like the perfect Night Fury, she always seemed like somebody he would stick with forever. How did she change so much so fast? What had made her become what she was now? By what Mistyeyes said, she was still creating trouble where she was.

But that fact aside. How was she even alive? Toothless's eyes narrowed slightly as the thought came to mind, claw digging into the ground angrily. He had killed her, he was sure of it. Shadowclaw helped him, sort of. As young as the Night Fury was, even he had seen what Nightflight had become. Had the others not believed Toothless when he told them her tale? Surely that had been the case, otherwise she wouldn't be the new 'leader' for them.

So what was she up to? Toothless lifted his gaze up to the sky, but disappointment filled him as he saw nothing. As if there would have been anything up there in the first place. Remembering the fright of finding Hiccup falling off of him, the wide ghost eyes that looked up at him as his human plummeted to the ground. He shivered at the thought, grinding his teeth together tightly. He wouldn't think about it. He wouldn't think about it. It was something that wouldn't happen again, he would make sure of it.

"So what are we going to do now?" Shadowclaw spoke up, Toothless jumping at the youngling's voice. Looking down at the Night Fury, Toothless tried to look optimistic, pushing down whatever thoughts had been swimming around in his mind. Shadowclaw turned and met his gaze, eyes looking skeptic. "I can see past that, you know." He snapped irritably, amusement thinly layered on his voice as he smiled slightly. Toothless's ears flattened against his head at once. The smaller dragon stood, ears flicking. "And if I can see it, Hiccup can probably so the same."

Before Toothless could reply, Shadowclaw turned and bounded away, towards the direction of the Blacksmith's stall, his tail fanning out behind him. Toothless watched him go, a frown creased on his face as he watched. "Maybe." He said to the empty space, wings giving an anxious flutter behind him. Turning, Toothless blinked once as he caught sight of Astrid. The girl was heading back to her own house, Stormfly walking right beside her. The girl had her palm pressed against the dragon's cheek affectionately, the two walking side by side together.

When had Hiccup and him grown so far apart-

"Buddy!" Hiccup's voice started him back to reality, turning around and catching sight of the boy as he skidded to an ungraceful stop in front of him. "Sorry, Gobber got me doing a whole bunch of other stuff, I have no idea how I ended up doing all that stuff." Toothless snorted with amusement: 'It's because you're so much of a pushover.' He thought. But Hiccup seemed to get the message, face turning sour as he smiled at the same time. "Whatever." He puffed, sticking his tongue out at the dragon before he said with a clap of his hands. "Anyway, let's go inside, it's freezing out here."

Hiccup turned, making his way to the steps leading up to the house. Toothless let out a purr, hopping forward and pushing his head against his human's side, closing his eyes as he did so. Hiccup let out a surprise noise, blinking rapidly as he looked down at Toothless. He opened his mouth to speak, but snapped it shut, as if thinking better about it. Smiling, Hiccup leaned over and wrapped his arms around Toothless's head, hugging him tightly. "I missed you too." He said happily, pulling back and looking down at Toothless with his signature grin.

Toothless wished that he could have talked to Hiccup. To have him understand him. He wished that he could apologize for any pain that he had made Hiccup go through, small and huge. He wished that he could hear Hiccup forgive him vocally, he wished that he could tell Hiccup that he deserved better than him. He wished that he could tell Hiccup the real reason he kept the tail instead of demanding for the manual one like he did last time.

"I know." Hiccup said softly, surprising Toothless slightly. Turning, he opened the door, gesturing inside. "I forgive you. Now get inside before we freeze to death." Pushing into the warmer house, Hiccup left Toothless on the doorstep, confusion written all over the dragon's face. But then he shook himself, smiling widely as he bounded inside, feeling lighter than he'd felt in a while.

"We need to attack now!" Nightflight roared loudly, hackles raised as she stood on atop a large boulder. She overlooked the crowd of Night Furies below, teeth bared and claws digging into the surface of the rock face. Her eyes were wild as she scanned the crowd below, Fleetfoot sitting at the base of the rock, skulking as he sat in the shadow. The dragons gathered in front of the two dragons roared their approval at the words, stamping their feet into the ground with dull thumps as the noise rose to a steady drone.

"The sooner we attack, the better!" Nightflight declared. "While the humans are recreating their homes and buildings." Looking back and forth decisively, Nightflight revised her sentence before. "We need to make a battle strategy, it doesn't make sense to just rush in there without a plan. We should attack rapidly. We need to fire first and then wait an hour, wait until the humans are absorbed in their work. And then we should strike again. We should repeat the process until every last one of them is gone. We are going to bring back the glory days of the dragons! The time of humans should be no more!"

Howls of agreement rose from the crowd, from all the dragons. They weren't even recognizable anymore. Their eyes gleamed with blood lust, their claws flashed in the moonlight, and their teeth bared angrily. They were all becoming monsters, they were all becoming something even worse than that. And it was all for something that they weren't even apart of. They were caught up in another person's argument, following one dragon blindly without a passing thought of their actions.

From the back of the crowd, Mistyeyes shrank back, ears flattening down to her head. Her paws shuffled in the ground, and her back was arched away, trying to get away from the scene as far as possible. The water of the ocean blocked her from scooting back any farther, her sense of justice not allowing her to fly away from the scene in front of her. She could only sit back and watch the plans unfold, and hopefully she could do something about it.

She was the only one thinking here. She was the only one picturing the destroyed village, the carnage, the tragedy. It wasn't right, she knew that now. She knew what was right, she knew that the humans weren't bad. Casting a glance back in the direction of Berk, Mistyeyes winced inwardly as she remembered the morning's events. She should have tried harder to get Toothless to listen to her, she shouldn't have snapped at him. His thoughts were justified, really. Of course he wouldn't have trusted her, her past actions of her ordering him to kill Hiccup wasn't something that made her seem the first priority for him to trust. And yet he had to have known she wasn't lying. Why would she come all that way to lie?

"Mistyeyes." The dragon jumped clear out of her scales as she heard her name being called, the dragoness whipping her head up and looking for the dragon that had called her name. The whole crowd was looking back at her, wide eyes reflecting her own image inside them as she blinked rapidly. "Do you agree?" It was Nightflight. "After all, I would want the approval of the so VERY important leader." Nightflight's words dripped with sarcasm at the last words, Mistyeyes stiffening at the words.

Laughter rippled through the crowd like a tide, sneers and mocking looks thrown back at her along with the muffled giggles. Mistyeyes's ears slicked back to her head, a sour look overcoming her as her lower lip puckered out hotly. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she had to dig her claws into the ground to keep herself from jumping to her feet. Nightflight snickered softly, tilting her head to the side. "What's the matter?" She asked innocently. "Can't stand to bear the sight of human blood?" Eyes becoming more serious, Nightflight's tone flattened. "Answer me."

"O-Of course not." Mistyeyes said carefully, wincing inwardly. "How can you afford to doubt one of your own at a time like this? After all, you are the leader." She shot some of her own sarcasm at the end, looking up at Nightflight sweetly. "Anybody else you would want to question?" Gasps rose around her as she spoke the last part. It was as if she had said a curse, she thought, with a roll of her eyes.

Nightflight glared down at her, gathering under herself and springing down to the ground with a thump. The dragons in the crowd shuffled backwards, creating a path for her as she marched down the row in between them. Her ears were slick against her head, and her feet stomped on the ground as she walked. Mistyeyes blinked rapidly, shrinking back ever so slightly as Nightflight came to a stop in front of her. The Night Fury seemed angered for a moment, ready to lash out in front of all the other dragons. But then her face relaxed somewhat, a slow smile spreading over her face as she looked at Mistyeyes oddly. The dragon swallowed uncomfortably.

"Then you wont mind leading the attack? Right alongside me and Fleetfoot?"
