Chapter 1: Rejected.
3 Months Later.
He snorted when a Terrible Terror got a bit too close for his liking, parting his mouth and spilling a trail of sonic blue flame that nearly singed the tip of the Terror's tail. The little dragon yipped and flew away, a half eaten fish caught between his claws. Toothless growled and lowered his head once more to the ground.
The hollow cave he was situated in wasn't very large, but suitable for his size, and it offered an excellent view of the ocean and the sky. The dragon peered out across the vast expanse of sea, purring as the sun sunk lower and lower amid the horizon. Astounding blotches of purple and pink smeared the sky, entwining together to create sultry reds and warm oranges. Toothless groaned lightly, his eyes trained on the graceful swoop of a seagull dipping through the air, wings spread wide and feathers ruffling in the breeze. The dragon let out a contemptuous snarl, optics narrowing into black harrowing slits.
He should have been out there, flying through the air without a care in the world. He should have been out there twirling and frolicking amid the clouds, swooping in and out of the water without having the burden of…
Hiccup.
Toothless growled once more, a low guttural growl that trebled unpleasantly at the back of his throat. This feeling was new to him, a gauche fleeting emotion that left an acrid taste in his mouth—contempt, he realized. At what, he didn't really know or care to figure out, but as each day passed he found himself growing angrier.
The dragon peered out the corner of his bulbous eye and anchored a glowering glare at his tailfin. With disdain, he flicked his tail against a nearby boulder and snorted, an image of a smiling Hiccup flashing across his mind. He didn't like this feeling- no, he didn't care for it much, but he couldn't help but feel irate whenever Hiccup was near, or whenever he was constantly reminded of the boy when he stared out into the sky.
Because of course, if it hadn't been for Hiccup, he'd still be out there flying like that bird.
Toothless snarled.
A/N: Oh gaaaawd, short chapter. So sorry, they'll get longer later on, promise. But at least it's in Toothless' point of view.
