Chapter 5

Mother

A/N: A continuation of Chapter 4. I think this title is a spoiler mabe XD oh well, I wasn't sure what else to call it. I was thinking about Dragons Part 2 but then I thought I would be having a lot more "parts" in these various chapters so ya…

"M-My m-m-mommy…..?", little Hiccup stammered. Tears were about to pour out of the little boys eyes when the lady that is supposedly his mother was walking up to him. He was still nervous because this could be a trick. But, then again, she did know his name. Only Berkians knew about his name. And perhaps a couple of dragons that he met.

"Yes. Yes, my Hiccup. I am.", his mother said slowly and softly.

Toothless finally got up on all his fours. He went over to his friend and noticed him about to cry. He didn't know if it was out of fear or what. So he padded up to him and curled his tail around him for comfort. Toothless looked over to the woman. He knew that she could be trusted. Mostly by her movements and dragon knowledge. Hiccup noticed Toothless's action, and started to feel more relaxed.

The lady saw this and her eyes widened in surprise. "I see you and the Night Fury are close friends?", she asked. Hiccup looked up at her. "Night Fuwy?", he asked. "That is the name of your dragons bread, my son.", she said slowly so he could understand. "Breads?", Hiccups fear turned into curiosity. The woman nodded. "Yes. Dragon Breads are what helps us to name each dragon in particular instead of just calling them out randomly.", she tried to explain the best she could for him to understand. After all, he did look about 5 years old.

She knelt down onto her knees to be his height. And too Hiccups surprise, she held out her arms like she wanted a hug.

Tears started coming down Hiccups face. Turning his cheeks red and eyes all watery. He used his small legs and ran up to her. With his arms in the air. He jumped onto her chest. She had to keep her balance so she didn't fall over while holding Hiccup. Hiccup gave her a big hug and cried in her chest. Tears started falling down his mothers face as well. After all, it's been 4 years since she's got to touch her only child.

Toothless just stood there and smiled. He jumped when something touched him.

The woman noticed this action and started to laugh. "Ha ha. Oh my.", she commented. Hiccup hiccuped and rubbed his wet eyes. After that he looked at where Toothless was. He squeaked when he saw a big dragon. It was a red and white color. It's big long red horns covered up half of it's amber eyes. Scale flaps were behind it as well. It's two red scaled wings hung on it's sides. "What is your dragon called dear?", the woman asked. Hiccup looked into her green eyes and said, "Toothless.", he said. The woman tilted her head. "What an odd name for a dragon.", she mumbled half to herself.

She looked back at Toothless and her dragon. The black dragon got into a defensive crouch and opened up his mouth. She noticed that it didn't have any teeth. "Oh my!", she commented. All of a sudden, white bright teeth popped out of the dragons mouth to bare fangs at the other dragon. "Oh! Retractable teeth!", she said in astonishment. "Eh?", said Hiccup.

His mom walked over to Toothless slowly. She stuck out her hand to reach for the black dragons muzzle. Toothless noticed this and tilted his head. She was next to him and started to touch his muzzle. Then she opened his mouth and started to look at it's teeth. Then she grabbed his tongue with her hand. Toothless's eyes widened and stared at Hiccup like she was crazy. Hiccups eyes were wide too and when he saw his expression, he shrugged. Then his mom started to feel the scales on Toothless's back. She used two fingers and pressed down on a scale.

Toothless twitched a bit and then shook.

He turned his head to look at his back, his scales came apart in two's from his neck to the end of his tail. He made a smile and his eyes grew wide. He started to shake his tail and jumped over to Hiccup. "Did you know about this?", he asked his dragon. Toothless just kept showing off his scales.

~.~.~

After all of that, she showed Hiccup her little room that she made. Half of the room was made out of ice and the other half was plain old rock. There some wooden cups and plates sitting on a rocks ledge. Hiccup looked around the place with his big green eyes. The lady saw this and giggled a bit. She stared at him as a frown crept on her face. She thought for a moment before speaking to him.

"My name is Valka. I married you father, Stoik. One day, when the village was being attacked by the dragons. I tried to stop the vikings from killing them. I never liked to kill. Killing is never the answer to anything. When a dragon broke into our house I panicked. I saw Cloudjumper," she pointed to the red and white dragon in the corner that was playing with Toothless. "You were only a babe when it happened. Cloudjumper seemed to like you. I noticed this and stopped. And then he took me away. Away from the village. Away from Stoik. Away from you…", she said sadly looking down. "If…", Hiccup started. He was looking down trying to take this all in. Valka looked down at him waiting for him to continue. "If you were fine for dis long. Then…. Why didn't you come back?", he asked. Valka saw that he almost made a type of puppydog face. She put her hand in a fist and put it close to her chest. "For a while they wouldn't let me leave. I didn't blame them. But I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it being back in the village again. Not after living with these dragons and learning so much about them…", she mumbled. (A/N: I havn't read the books and i'm not sure about what Val did with the dragons when she left. So no judgy! T^T)

"Ohh…", mumbled Hiccup.

An awkward silence was surrounding the atmosphere.

Hiccups gasped as he realised that he had to start going home. "What time it is?!", he squeaked. "Close to dark.", his mother answered. Hiccup jumped off the boulder and went to get Toothless. "Sorry Mommy but I gotta go! I pwomise I'll be back!", Hiccup shouted. He hopped onto Toothless and flew off.

Valka waves at them, "I'll see you again my son.", she whispered to herself.

A/N: I am so sorry for such a short chapter! . I wasn't sure on what to put in this one. Or how to explain Val's disappearance…. I'm gonna try my best to make the next chapter a bit better and a bit longer. And I'm very sorry about my poor description ;_; I try but I can never get it too be good. It's half of my laziness XD But hey, I've gotten some reviews from peeps saying that it's good so I'll try and make it a little bit better if I can. k? k.
