Chapter 4

In the forest with Astrid

Astrid was furious, she always came to woods when she needed to train but this time she needed to take it all out on this tree by hitting it over and over again with her axe. It was Snotlout. Again. She absolutely hated Snotlout and how he kept on flirting with her, it was starting to get to her and she wanted to kill him right there on the spot but she obviously would've casted out. She ventured deep in to the forest to find more trees to throw her axe at when she found a cove, she was about to enter it when she saw someone. It was Hiccup. Astrid had moved from tree to tree to see what he was doing there, but Astrid had stepped on a branch which made a huge crack noise. Hiccup immediately looked to where the noise was but saw nothing there, he transformed into a Night Fury to see if it was a person. His eyes can see thermal heat but then he saw the body heat of Astrid, Astrid came out of hiding but immediately went back in when she saw a jet-black dragon with emerald-green eyes, 'those eyes look exactly like Hiccup's.' She thought in her head, Astrid rolled to the other tree, hoping it didn't see her, and suddenly jumped out and shouted her war cry with her axe over her head, Hiccup smacked her to the side with his tail, not too roughly though. Hiccup wanted to show he wasn't a threat, but after just doing that Hiccup didn't think it would be easy so he dilated his pupils and retracted his teeth in, he sat down and tilted his head to the side, he looked exactly like a puppy. Astrid got up and was about to attack the dragon but saw it wasn't a threat. She stared at its eyes, it looked like it didn't want to harm anybody so she slowly put her axe to her side, she then wondered where Hiccup was, he was nowhere to be found so she looked at the dragon and saw the eyes were like the same as Hiccup's and the dragon didn't want to harm her. She had just realised what she was thinking and doing, Astrid was taught all her life that dragons were evil beasts so she thought the Night Fury was trying to trick her into coming close. She ran to the village, trying to find Stoick, Astrid sprinted to the Chief's house and knocked on the door. The wooden door immediately opened to reveal a man with a big, orange beard.

"Hello, Astrid, what can I do for you?" Stoick had asked,

"Uh...do you know if Hiccup is in?" Stoick was confused, nobody was ever concerned about Hiccup, especially Astrid.

"No, no. He's not in, why?"

"Uh, just asking, anyways, I would've said this next thing first but you wouldn't have answered my first question so..." Astrid scratched the back of her neck, "I found the other Night Fury."

Before the encounter with Astrid

Hiccup's POV

I was in my room drawing me in dragon form and Toothless next to me since I was bored, so I thought I could just go and visit Toothless and ask him about the Night Fury speed power I was supposed to unlock so I ran out the house. When I had gotten deep in to the forest I transformed into a Night Fury while running to the cove, to go faster I flew up to the sky and dived to the cove. I transformed back into my human form and looked around for Toothless but he wasn't there.

"Toothless!?" Still no answer. I guessed he went hunting or exploring so I waited an hour for him to come back, yet, still no sign of him. I was drawing a picture of Toothless on the ground with a stick, CRUNCH, I immediately looked to where the sound came from to see nobody there so I had transformed back into my dragon form and turned on my thermal heat senses. I saw a body, a human body, but the body had belonged to Astrid.

After Astrid had told Stoick about the other Night Fury

I was panicking, what if Astrid went back to the village to tell my dad about me, hopefully she didn't see me transform or that'll be even worse. I remembered I was still in my dragon form so I quickly transformed back, I had spotted some Night Fury scales on the floor where Astrid and I were so I had to hide that under the lake since I couldn't burn the scales because they're fireproof. My clothes were sticking to me since I was wet. I was thinking of what to do when I heard shouting from afar, I remembered that I had drew Toothless in the ground so I rushed over to the drawing and messed it all up with the same stick I used to draw it. I tried to make myself look casual by just drawing a bird in the ground.

"I found it over here!" It was Astrid, of course she had told my father. They had climbed down the cove to see me drawing something in the dirt.

"Hiccup, what are you doing here?" Stoick asked me, there was about half the village behind him, it's going to be a waste of time for everybody.

"Just exploring the forest and-and drawing." I lied, Astrid glared at me suspiciously, I think she knew what was going on.

"Oh really? Where did you go when the Night Fury appeared, I saw you drawing something then I went behind a tree and you were gone, just a Night Fury was there." Astrid was on to me.

"Uh...I-I went to explore, like I said, exploring and drawing!" I said with a smile at the end, trying to convince everybody.

"Mhm." Astrid was smarter than the average Viking, she could see straight through lies.

"Alright lads, let's go, the Night Fury is gone." Stoick called out to the other Vikings, they all exited the cove, Astrid waited until the Vikings were gone, she turned around and faced Hiccup.

"I'm on to you, Hiccup. I have a theory that's crazy but it's the only theory I've got." She then turned and ran away to catch up with the others. I really need to be careful when transforming.

Dragon Training (The Zippleback one)

Nobody's POV

"This is your second day of Dragon Training, now, I have something very important to tell you." Gobber paced up and down the line of teenagers, "Today we were supposed to be training on the Zippleback but there has been a change of plans..." Everybody except Hiccup was excited, "Today we are fighting..." Instead of being excited, Hiccup was nervous since he hadn't seen Toothless for days and was wondering if Toothless had been captured. "THE NIGHT FURY!" Hiccup looked around, expecting there to be a Night Fury flying in the sky, however, there was not so he looked back to the front to see Gobber waddling to the lever.

"A Night Fury!? How do you expect a couple of teenagers to go against that?" Snotlout realised what he said. "I mean, it's lucky I'm here, right?"

"Because today is about teamwork, you're going to work as a team to take down that Night Fury, try not to kill it though as the chief wants to execute them both when he finds the other one." Hiccup gulped. Gobber then flicked the lever down and the log blocking the doors lifted up. The door immediately opened as an angry Night Fury emerged out of it. It scanned the teenagers one by one, Toothless looked at Hiccup and his face softened, the other teenagers were confused by this but they ignored it. Snotlout went first, trying to impress Astrid he jumped on to the Night Fury but it threw him off. Ruffnut and Tuffnut both ran at it at the same time but Toothless swiped his tail underneath their feet making them fall and hit their heads on the hard, stone floor. While all of that was happening, Fishlegs and Astrid were forming a plan.

"Hiccup, I'm speaking to you in your mind right now, it's a feature I forgot to tell you but it could be handy for now, in case there is trouble."

Astrid and Fishlegs were finished with their plan and took action, Astrid kept to the side of the ring while Fishlegs distracted it by hitting his shield with his hammer. Astrid got into position and raised her axe behind her head.

"Toothless, behind you!"

Toothless immediately looked behind him and whacked Astrid to the side with his tail, Fishlegs tried to bang the shield even louder but Toothless ignored it. Toothless slowly walked up to Fishlegs while snarling and arching his back to look intimidating, his pupils were constricted, Toothless' mouth opened and a purple-blue glow formed from the back of his throat,

"Toothless! Stop!"

Toothless had only just heard what Hiccup was saying, Toothless' pupils dilated back to its normal form and his mouth was closed. He looked at Hiccup with sorry eyes,

"Toothless, don't worry, now, to make it look natural you're going to need to attack me but since I've got Night Fury strength it shouldn't hurt me and slowly build up a plasma blast, then hopefully Gobber will stop you from firing, if he doesn't then I'll have to fight back."

"Alright."

Toothless arched his back again and spread his wings over his head, Toothless fired up a plasma blast that wouldn't hurt even if it hit him at his feet. Hiccup jumped at the sudden attack, Toothless then approached him and pushed him down. He snarled at his face and slowly charged up a plasma blast, Hiccup looked over to Gobber, He wasn't helping but he did have a look of concern over his face, Gobber had thought that he wasn't always going to be there for him when he's trapped under a dragon so he still stood there, he really wanted to help him but he needed to learn.

"Alright, he's not coming, get ready Toothless."

Hiccup then punched Toothless in the face, it didn't hurt though, in fact, whenever they attacked each other it never hurt. Toothless fell back, acting like it was a powerful blow, then Toothless immediately got up and snarled at him so Hiccup kicked Toothless' legs which made him fall down.

"I think you better go now." Hiccup had said in Toothless' mind. Toothless then pretended to be defeated so he hung his head low and whimpered then slowly walked back in to his cage. Hiccup looked to the teenagers and their jaws were hitting the floor, especially Gobber's.

"Wha-what-how!?" Snotlout was confused and angry because Hiccup had beat a Night Fury with his bare hands,

"So...are we done, or...?" Hiccup awkwardly walked out of the arena and ran off, trying to avoid the crowd of Vikings swarming him with questions.

2 In The Morning

Hiccup was in his dragon form, he was on the edge of a cliff thinking of a way to free Toothless. Hiccup flew off to the Kill Arena and scanned the area and turning on his thermal heat senses to see if any Vikings were on patrol, luckily, there wasn't so he landed in front of the Kill Ring and opened the gates with his nose. He then cautiously walked to the doors where all the dragons were held and pulled the lever down with his nose again. The doors burst open revealing a Zippleback eager to kill some Vikings, but all it saw was a Night Fury.

"Toothless? I thought you were back in there?" The Zippleback motioned with his head to the doors behind him.

"No, I'm Hiccup, the one he bit."

"Ah, I see, Meatlug, the Gronckle, told us about you."

"Which is why I gave her a bucket's load of fish. Anyways, I'm here to free you all tonight."

"Oh wow, cool. Could we all stay with you in the cove, Toothless told me about how you and him hang out in the cove, it's a cool place from what I've heard."

"Yeah, sure."

"Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang, Sharpshot and Toothless! Hiccup is here." Suddenly, all the dragons burst out.

"Okay guys, let's go to the cove." With that, they all ran out of the Kill Arena and flew to the cove.

But a certain someone saw the whole thing.

A/N

I think you all know who that certain someone is.
