Hey, I'm back again. Trying to keep a steady updating schedule, but I've been on break this week so I have had more time to write, that's why I've got this one out only a few days after the last update. YAY! So remember to tell me if you have an idea for this story, I will gladly consider it. Oh and when a dragon speaks its in Italics, got it? Well that's all I have to say today, read on, I guess.

Storm was panicking, there was something very wrong with Bandit, could it really be the curse?

"It's okay Bandit just hang in there." She whispered and held her shaking pup closer, he curled up in her lap and pressed his face against her chest.

Her hand was placed on his back, and she noticed that his fur seemed to be dissolving back into his skin. And in place of his fur there were weird scales appearing on his skin, and he was slowly getting heavier and heavier. Reluctantly she pushed him off her lap and laid down beside him.

After a few minutes he was covered in brown and white scales, and there were strange bumps coming out of his back and his front legs were beginning to mutate.

He gave her sorrowful glances every so often, but he wasn't mad at her, he knew it was an accident.

Storm hoped and prayed that she would not lose him, especially right after what happened.

Hiccup cried when he hit the ground, Astrid was okay, Hiccup had wrapped her in his wings just before they hit the ground to break her fall. The metal dragon stood over them, she leaned over and smelt the both of them. Hiccup's wings wrapped tighter around Astrid as the dragon walked closer and closer, the other three dragons following closely behind her.

Then suddenly she spoke. "I'm sorry for the fall, your the first dragon we've seen in years."

"Were you all cursed too? Who are you? How long have you been like this?" Hiccup said.

"Slow down. My name's Heather. That's Fisher," She said and pointed to the smallest dragon, "there is Scott," she pointed to the largest dragon, "and their the twins Ray and Tommy, but we just call them Rough and Tough." Heather gestured towards the two headed dragon. "We were cursed hundreds of years ago, four hundred if I remember correctly, when your a dragon you age much slower then humans, about one year every hundred human years. Who are you two?"

"I-I'm Hickory, my friends call me Hiccup and this is my best friend Astrid." Hiccup said and Astrid crawled out from under his wings. "I was cursed about a moth or two ago. Do you know if we can ever turn back?"

"We can, but were not sure how yet." Fisher said.

"Until we find out how to fix this you're both welcome to stay as long as you want." Heather said "This is our island, but we explore almost all the time, we're trying to find the cure, but we've been searching for hundreds of years, but a few extra sets of eyes would really help."

"How about three? Astrid found a small dragon on our temporary island a little while ago." He replied.

"Perfect, I don't think we've been out in the direction you came from, there was a nasty colony of humans a few decades ago and Fisher refuses to let us go back."

Heather and Hiccup continued to talk (or roar) about what was going on, and after a while Astrid spoke up.

"I'd like to point out that I don't know what's going on or who you are, I can understand you."

Hiccup sighed, he had almost forgotten, they had found they're own way of communication over the weeks and weeks that they were out here, but not for these dragons.

He pressed his nose on the ground and wrote out the names of the dragons in the sand in front of them. For the next little while they tried to find a way to communicate to the one human in their new group.

The next day Bandit's transformation was complete, he was now a dragon. His front legs had mutated into wings, and a pair of wings grew out of his back, so he had two sets of wings and only hind legs. Bandit's new form reminded her of an owl, he had already discovered that he could spin his head about 180 degrees. He was now red, orange beige and white. He had a few strange neck frills on his neck and some on the back of his head. He had large spikes on the joints on his wings and a long tail with three fins on it. There was a long, thing, above his huge eyes that stretched out on either side of his face. He looked to be about thirty feet long as well.

Storm stretched her hand out towards her dragon and he leaned forwards and pressed his snout against her.

"Wait a minute." Storm said "If that really did turn you into a dragon, that means, that monster that was here a few weeks ago when they first appeared, that was Hiccup! Someone turned him into a dragon! And knowing Astrid she probably found out, and they're both out there somewhere. THEY ARN'T DEAD!" Storm started screaming with joy. "It's all coming together now, his prosthetic, torn cloths and their footprints, they must have stayed in that cove until they were force out by the police and search and rescue team!"

She took her phone out of her pocket and texted Toby, who had been worried and texting her constantly to see if she was okay, but she ignored him, and told him where they were in the woods.

He arrived twenty minutes later and immediately kissed her.

"Don't disappear on me like that ever again okay? You scared me, especially after-"

"Toby they're not dead." Storm said.

"Wait, what?"

"At least I don't think so."

Storm explained the situation to her very confused boyfriend.

"So Bandit's a dragon, and Hiccup and Astrid are not dead, and Hiccup is a dragon."

"Exactly."

"So, what do we do now?"

"We find them."

"How?"

"Bandit will take us there, he still has an incredible sense of smell and he can fly now, but I don't know how long we'll be out there, so could you do me a favor and go home and get us both supplies, please." She said and squeezed his hand.

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit." he whispered and kissed her forehead before going back through the woods to get their stuff.

About two hours later the three of them where looking back at Berk and watching it disappear into the horizon.
