Chapter 2: Comfort and a Promise
Toothless was suddenly startled awake by a very familiar (and sad) voice calling his name and apologizing. It was Hiccup. The Night Fury got up from his spot on the floor and hurried over to his human's bed. Hiccup was still asleep, but he continued to call out Toothless' name. As the dragon took a closer look at his human friend, he noticed that the poor boy looked just as upset as he sounded. His eyes were squeezed shut and he was starting to shake a little bit. Toothless didn't like seeing his best friend
so scared. The Night Fury lowered his head and gently nudged Hiccup a couple of times. After a few minutes, Hiccup woke up. The teenage boy sat up and looked around. It took him a few minutes to realize where he really was. He started to call down a little, but not completely. He couldn't help but worry about where Toothless was. "Toothless?", he said nervously. Toothless purred and nudged his friend again, letting him know that he was right there with him. Hiccup turned his head looked up to see that his best friend was looking right back at him.
