A/N STOP! I accidently only posted half of chapter 2 so go back and re-read it. Everybody read it now? Great alright lets get started! And here's a sad story I lost over 1,000 readers from Dragon Fever to this. So for those of you who bothered to stick around for the sequel THANK YOU!
Wow you were worried. Dig you actually dig a raven? OW ok I am sorry! Calm down! It was just a question!
I stared at Alvin, he stared back at me. We were in the Outcasts training arena and I was still in the grip of the two Outcasts whom I had given the nicknames of Harry on the right and Jack on the left. Don't ask me why, because I honestly didn't know. "So, are we clear 'iccup?" Alvin asked. I pulled my focus back to him, "...yes. But being honest, tell me it all again I wasn't listening." I told him and picked at my fingernails.
Alvin sighed and opened his mouth to speak but I interrupted him,"Let me guess, train the dragons or you'll kill me. Train the dragons or you'll kill my friends, train the dragons or something will die. Honestly Al, Get some originality going on. You can't just threaten to kill people." I told him Harry whacked the side of my head and I jerked forward and straightened on my peg leg and looked up at him and glared, "Come on! You know it's as true as I do!"
Alvin glared and stalked up to me, I leaned away self consciously. "Maybe because a man'll do anything to keep 'is life or the life of 'is friends." He pulled away and I nodded slowly as if the thought had just occurred to me. Alvin looked at my snakebite,"And by the looks of you you've only got a few hours left."He added.
Alvin walked behind me and I looked forward at the ash streaked wall. "Well enough talking, we have dragons to train!" I heard the sound of his retreating footsteps. Harry and Jack released me and shoved me forward. I fell to my knees and yelped as my snakebite whacked into the ground. It was bandaged I didn't even know why it hurt so badly! The gate slammed shut behind me and I looked up to where Alvin was grinning madly and where Jack and Harry now stood next to him.
"Release the dragon!"
Please let it be a Deadly Nadder, Gronckle or a Zibbleback. I begged silently. The gate opened and fire shot out in all directions. A Monstrous Nightmare burst out of the cage. I slowly stood leaning horribly to the left. The Nightmare turned to look at me.
"Oh boy." I voiced.
"YEAH! You can do this!" I snapped my head to the left and saw Arin, old and looking like dust shaped like a human raising his hand and nodding encouragingly. I looked away from the old man and snapped my attention back to the dragon. She glared at me and slowly stalked up to me I stayed where I was and looked at my hands where my wrists were still bound with the shackles. I looked at her and slowly lifted my arms for her to see.
The Nightmare glared at me and then slowly realization dawned on her. "I'm a prisoner here to." I whispered to her. I slowly reached out a hand to her and her eyes narrowed with distrust. "YOU CAN DO THIS! DON'T STRESS!"Arin yelled. I whipped my head to the old man. Any trust the Nightmare had for me was ripped away. Her eyes narrowed and she roared.
Her tail whipped around and smacked me in the chest. I flew across the arena and whacked against the wall. I let out a gasp and fell to the ground.
I was lying on my side and she stalked up to me ready to finish the kill. My vision was blurry but I scrambled to my foot trying to catch my breath. The Monstrous Nightmare sent a wave of fire and I rolled away. The shackles bit into my wrists painfully but I stood and jumped against the wall dodging away from her. Her tail whacked my back and I was flung to the ground, I rolled to my side and saw her hissing at me she growled.
I closed my eyes as she raised her claw, there was a crashing sound but I didn't open my eyes to see it still waiting for the Monstrous Nightmare to crush me.
A shadow loomed over me and a dragon roared out in pain. The claw never smashed me I snapped open my eyes and it was still dark a crack of light flooded in and I raised my blurry vision. Green eyes stared down at me.
They filled with relief and my eyes widened in surprise. Toothless stood over me, my dragon was here. Toothless let out a roar of pain and I pushed my way from under him, he had three deep cuts on his shoulders. "Toothless!" I yelled. My fingers ran across the cuts and I gasped as my fingers were covered in blood.
Toothless had just saved my life.
A roar broke me from my thoughts and I saw the Monstrous Nightmare racing at us. I gasped and pulled my chained hands up as if they would do much for her attack. Toothless jumped on me and I was pushed onto my back. My snakebite was whacked into the ground and I yelped in pain.
I tried to move but Toothless kept a firm grip on my shoulders keeping me on the ground. I squirmed under his grip but it did nothing. Toothless roared and I shut my eyes tightly as the roar echoed in my head. I gripped the dirt with my right hand and my left was on my chest.
Toothless loosened slightly and I took a chance and rolled from under him. The chain in between my wrists pushed tightly into my chest. I sat up and Toothless gave me a surprised look. I glanced back at where the Nightmare should have been. Instead there were Outcasts and they we're dragging her back into the cage.
I looked at Toothless my eyes scanning his shoulder the scrapes we're deep. A hand grabbed my shoulder and I jumped in surprise. Toothless growled lowly and glared. I was roughly pulled to my feet and I turned my head and saw Alvin was gripping my shoulder, "You we're supposed to train it." Alvin said his eyes dark and murderous. My eyes widened, Toothless hissed and Alvin tossed me to the side.
I landed on my back. Breathless I looked up and saw Toothless trying to get passed Alvin to get to me. Outcasts were surrounding him. I jumped to my feet, "Stop!" I told them, the Outcasts tossed ropes and bolas on to him.
My snakebite gave an intense wave of pain and I fell to my knees, my shackled hands preventing me from getting incredibly good balance. Toothless' eyes widened and I looked at my best friend. Alvin turned around and grabbed my left forearm and pulled me to my feet. "You brought me a Night Fury." He said.
"No!" I breathed. "Please just don't hurt him." I whispered. Alvin grinned evilly, "And why 'iccup would I do that?" He asked. I looked at Toothless who the Outcasts we're struggling to get a muzzle on. "Please don't hurt him." I whispered. Alvin laughed, "Trust me. I will." He promised. My snakebite was screaming from the pressure I put on it and red spots were appearing in my vision. "Please don't hurt him" I repeated. My eyes rolled Back into my head and I fell into unconsciousness.

"And I'll be there when you fall, yeah.
And there'll be no pain at all.
And ill be your shelter
Your shelter from the storm."
-Dash Berlin Shelter. Yeah, that song kind of represents this chapter.
