Chapter 8:

[Aurora Point of View]

"No…"

This couldn't be happening! I had started to forget that night. I had begun to make a new life for myself, filled with people and dragons I loved, he couldn't take that from me! Not again!

"Aurora," Toothless said, his voice only a bit shaky. "Who or what is that?" But I didn't have time to answer because the dragon was more than happy to make his own introduction.

"I am the darkness, pain and suffering," He began.

"Little cocky, don't ya think?" Toothless thought to me alone. I attempted to keep a straight face as the dragon continued.

"I am a Eternal Devastation dragon breed. But you can call me…. Death." And with that, he shot out a string of purple flames. Toothless and I flew into the sky, the heat rolling onto my back as I soared into the sky.

"That was close," I thought.

"You won't be nearly as lucky next time," The dragon laughed as he shot out more fire. I dodged it effortlessly, climbing higher into the sky. I shot out a fire ball and hit the dragon on his wing before turning around and flying away.

I looked over my shoulder to see where Toothless had gone. I found him flying towards the dragon.

"Don't do it!" I thought to him, but he ignored me as he torpedoed down to the dragon. The dragon gave out a grunt of surprise as Toothless rammed him in the back. The dragon turned around, shooting fire in the process. I looked frantically for Toothless as the purple fire dimmed. I saw him readying for another attack, but before he could start, the dragon followed my gaze to where Toothless was and shot out fire. I screamed and flew towards the dragon, shooting fire of my own out and hitting him in the shoulder. The dragon's flames died down as he roared out and turned to look at me. His face became even more distorted and he took his flaming tail and hit me with it.

"Worthless girl," He thought just before I went plummeting to the earth. I landed with a thud and I looked up as he turned back to Toothless. The dragon was readying another attack on Toothless, but Toothless didn't notice because his eyes were big as he looked at me.

"Aurora!" He called, flying to where I was.

"Toothless, LOOK OUT!" I managed to call…. But I was too late. The dragon shot out more flames and I closed my eyes. I opened my eyes and Toothless wasn't there. The only thing I could see or hear was the dragon, laughing a sickening laugh. I looked around, searching for Toothless. But when I didn't see him, I tried to stand up. The heart wrenching feeling I had grew with every moment I didn't see him.

"Toothless!" I called. But he wasn't there. In his attempt to help me, he was caught in the line of fire… literally. And then I realized with a heart stopping conclusion, Toothless was gone.

And it was all my fault.

I know this is short, but between tests, I didn't have much time… I wanted to give you guys another chapter to carry you over for a little bit, but tests should be over soon, so then I'll get back on it :) R&R!
