Okay I am finally back with this. I have had so many things to do it has been insane.

Anju pulled at the bands around her first and back legs forming hobbles around her ankles and a bridle on her nose tied her to a tree. She could barely move. It was ridiculous. No dragon should be treated like this. But then this was the man who wanted to kill Hiccup.

"You will be a key in this assassination, dragoness," he smirked looking at the Queen Dragon.

"Oh I don't expect a dumb animal to understand me but then you are no dumb animal. You are a dragon. Though there really isn't much difference," he snickered.

Anju growled deeply in her throat and kept her eyes in tiny slits of anger.

Alvin didn't seem worried at all or even remotely afraid.

Anju, it's time for our watch where are you?

I shan't be back for a while. I am working on my plan. Trust me.

You keep saying that. Anj what are you planning?

You'll see.

Anju…

Toothless… she matched his whining voice.

Anju I am serious. I want you to be safe.

I will be don't worry.

Their conversation was interrupted when Alvin stepped forward to look over his prize.

"A strong, elegant she-dragon," he murmured out loud, "Perfect for the future king of the archipelago." Anju snorted and tossed his head a growl rumbling deep in her throat.

"Oh shut up you stupid beast," he muttered waving his hand at her. Anju pinned her ears and bared her teeth at the villainous man. With a one last grumble she dropped to her knees and curled up ready to sleep.

Toothless sat perched atop his rider's roof staring at the dark night sky listening closely for his mate's thoughts. But he couldn't get a lock on her voice. With a sigh he glanced to Stormfly who was stationed under Hiccup's window.

The she dragon nodded in understanding and took Toothless' place on the roof while the Night Fury slipped into his rider's room.

"Hiccup you up?" he asked.

"Nnnhh?" he heard the boy groan his response.

"I'm worried about Anju," he muttered.

"Toothless it's the middle of the night, can we talk about this in the morning?" he asked.

"No I'm really worried about her. Please, Hiccup," he begged.

"Fine," he groaned rolling over. "What's going on with Anj and you?"

"She has this plan in her head that's supposed to keep you safe but she won't tell any of us what it is and now she has disappeared and won't reply when I try and mindspeak with her," the dragon wailed in one breath.

"Whatever it is I'm sure Anju has it under control, Toothless," Hiccup yawned.

"I can't help but worry though, Hiccup! She has been known to do rash dangerous things before."

"Yeah but she always gets out of 'em safe."

"Barely."

"Toothless, she'll be fine. Look we'll talk in the morning at breakfast before you go to sleep for the day. I am exhausted, I am going to sleep."

Toothless gave a distraught sigh before returning to his perch on the roof and allowing Stormfly to take her place again under the window.

Please be careful Anju he mentally begged to his silent mate.

I know it's super-short but I was going through severe writers block…darn it.

DeansTrueGirl: It seems to stay around me these days.

The Tuneless Siren: I like to kill hehehe.
