"A night fury huh?" Stoic said to himself as he sat in the healers hut. The night fury had burned through his armour with it's blast and had given him some second degree burns. A mild inconvenience for the chief.
Gothi was currently treating him. He had wanted to go straight after it but Gobber had advised he should get the burns treated first in case infection set in.

They would look for it later if it hadn't already flown away. However, the way it hung it's wings made him think it had injured them somehow. Otherwise it could have flown away then and there rather than run off. He'd injured it's leg so it couldn't have gone far.
So he reluctantly came to Gothi to get the treatment over with.
He also had to start getting the village repaired. Finding the night fury would have to wait, the village came first.

Gothi came in with Gobber, carrying some herbs which she proceeded to ground into a paste.
"This won't take too long will it?" The chief asked.
Gothi hit him over the head with her stick then wrote down some symbols on the ground"
"Ow, what was that for?"
"She says you should be more patien'," Gobber said, translating for the elder as he usually did. Not many in the village could understand her symbols.
Stoic sighed "fine."
"Can' believe we saw a nigh' fury though. No one has ever seen one and lived to tell the tell. Didn' seem all tha' fierce though. I' was so small and it's blast didn' even severely injure you!" Gobber stated
"What i don't get is why it was on the ground. It's always been in the sky's, avoiding contact. It never even come down to steal food like the others. And why was it trying to get in my house?"
"Don' ask me, I'm jus' in the dark as you. "
Both men tried to make sense of it in their heads for a while as Gothi proceeded to put the paste onto Stoics burns.

"Has Hiccup returned yet?" Asked Stoic. He also knew that Hiccup sometimes disappeared into the forest and sometimes got stuck out there in the dark before returning when the sun came up.
"No 'e hasn'. I'm star'ing to get a bi' worried. Mainly because of that night fury. It ran into those woods after all."
Stoic abruptly stood up earning another whack from Gothi.
"Ow would you stop that!?" he yelled getting another whack.

He sat down again urging her to hurry up as worry started to seep in. The village would have to wait. He had to make sure Hiccup was okay. The night fury may have only hurt him a bit, but he was strong and tough. Hiccup was weak and frail. The blast that hurt him could easily kill Hiccup.

"Gobber, set up a search party! We're looking for Hiccup and that night fury as soon as Gothi is finished with these bandages."
"S-Sure thing." Gobber left with a flutter of fear in his heart for Hiccup. He'd grown rather close with the boy after the last few years of him being his apprentice. The thought of something happening to him pained him dearly.

Unknowingly to them, a certain witch was eavesdropping on them outside the hut.
"So he became a night fury hmm? Very interesting." she cackled as a grin spread on her face.

She had tested the dragon transformation spell on several animals before Hiccup and discovered the species of dragon to always be random. She had left before he'd fully transformed as sometimes her test subjects didn't pass out and tried to attack her. She had nearly been severely injured last time when a rabbit had turned into a whispering death. She didn't want to risk that again.

She had watched from afar and saw he was a black dragon but she didn't know of the species. The only thing that gave him away after all was when he blasted his flame at his father.
She had loved watching that. She had hoped he would be killed straight away, but him fleeing after being injured made the delight of it so much better. Now they were going to hunt him down like an animal.

From her research the spell only wore off if the test subject were killed. which would add even more to the despair without her even having to reveal herself and explain what he had done when he finally killed his son.

She snuck away quietly, no one even knowing she had been there. Before laughing wickedly into the forest to see if she could find Hiccup and get a good view of what was to come when the search party arrived.

"Youuu caan't caaatch meee~"
"Give me back my helmet!"
"Not unless you say the maagic woooorrrd~"
"I'm not saying it to you dam it, give it back!"

Two figures ran through the trees of the forest, one was Ruffnut. she was running away with her brother Tuffnut's helmet tightly in her clutches. Teasing him all the while.

"If you let me have your desert tonight I'll give it back" she laughed. Her brother looked ridiculous running after her, swiping his long hair out of his face as he pushed branches out the way.
"No way, mums doing raspberry butter bread tonight. It's my favourite!"
"It's my favourite too, that's why i want yours as well."
"Well you can't have it!"
"Well you can't have your helmet back then" she yelled back.

They kept on running for a bit before Ruff let out a yelp.
Tuff couldn't see her in his sights anymore until he heard a distinct clang as his helmet hit the ground. He ran up to it.
"HA, i got it back. Take that Sis... Sis?"

His sister had disappeared. Awesome. He thought to himself.
"Up here doufis" she cried.
He looked up and saw Ruff hanging by her foot from some rope. She'd run into a trap.
"HAHAHAHA!" He laughed as he began to roll on the ground clutching his stomach.
"It's not funny. Okay it is pretty funny. But still, get me down!"

"HAHAHAAHHOOOHAhaha...ha. ... Why?"
"What do you mean why? As much as I'd like to 'hang around', dinners gonna be ready in an hour and it'll go cold if I'm stuck here. Duh"
"Ah true. But then I'd get your half of the pudding right?"
"WHAT! Wait, get me down." She started to struggle frantically to get out.

"Fine I'll give you my share of the pudding if you get me down from here. I want to at least have dinner."
"Not much of a deal since you're tied up there and I'm free to help myself without your consent." He said smugly.
"Dam it Tuff. Hey. Where are you going. Get back here."
"Not unless you say the maaagic woord~" He sang back at her like she had done earlier.
"I won't ever say that to you barf brain!"
"Have it your way," he said before making his way back. "I'll let you down tomorrow. Have fun." He waved then ran off.

"Jerk." She sulked, now she was gonna go hungry. She had being looking forward to her dinner and desert.
About 15 minutes past by and Ruff was getting Bord.

"AGGHHH. This is so boring...That's it I'm getting down even if i have to bite my own leg off."
She began swinging trying to gain enough momentum to reach the branch above her. When she was nearly there she heard a snap. Her heart leapt to her throat. "Uh oh." The snapping and cracking of the branch grew louder and she could feel it giving way to her weight.

It finally snapped and she screamed as she fell onto the ground. The ground wasn't completely flat though and she soon found her self tumbling down a hill that grew steeper as she went. The branch trailing after her.
"WAHHHHHH" she screamed. "This is fun and scary!" she cried.

Then she came to an abrupt halt as the branch got caught in between two large boulders.
"That was AWESOME" she yelled. "I'll have to tell Tuff about this so we can do it again."

Her grin soon left when she noticed her front half was slightly hanging...over a cliff face. It wasn't the sea though, it looked like a small cove. It was quite a drop down. Then she heard something snapping. She looked up at her leg. The robe must have snagged on the way down since it was currently breaking thread by thread. She desperately tried to reach it but it was too late. The only thing stopping her from falling to her death gave way and she fell.

"AHHHH, well at least I'm dying upside down, AHHHH"she screamed before she hit the water of the pond inside the cove.
As shocked as she was that she was still alive she swam to the surface. "Thank Odin this water was here" she sighed in relief.
She swam to the shore and looked around.

"I didn't even know this place existed. Me and Tuff could have lots of fun here" She grinned. As she walked forward to look around more she found herself limping slightly. The ropes hold had bruised her leg quite badly but it wasn't too big of a deal to her. At least it wasn't broken.

Thunder could be heard in the distance before rain started to fall.
"Aww come on, a storm. Now! I was hoping to make my way back before Tuff ate my desert but i guess i should find shelter. As much as getting struck by lightning sounds awesome, I'd rather not die before i can show Tuff the fun and scary hill to roll down."

With that she looked for somewhere to take shelter in the cove. It would be pointless to try climbing out now since the rain was making the rocks slippery and muddy.
She spotted a cave and made her way towards it as the rain grew heavier and more thunder was heard.

She crawled inside to where the rain couldn't reach her. The cave went a bit further in though and since it was boring to just wait out the rain she might as well see how far it went.
It didn't go much farther and she couldn't see in the pitch blackness of it anyway. She'd have to remember to bring a torch next time to see what it looked like.
But just then... she heard a growl. She moved her hand to the ground in an attempt to shuffle away from whatever had made that sound but instead of the rocks from the cave, she felt something warm and smooth. a hiss came from whatever she had touched. Then it struck!

She was pushed to the ground as something got on top of her and pinned her. She couldn't even make a sound. She was scared. Was she gonna be eaten?
The creature sniffed her before looking at her. Out of the blackness that surrounded her all she could make out, quite clearly in fact were big green eyes. It let out a sound of clicks and warbles. And just as she was about to scream and shove this thing off her it did something unexpected. It started rubbing the side of it's head in her chest and was it... was it crying?

Clearly this creature didn't mean any harm and was just scared so she just lay there. She picked up the courage to lay a hand on it's side and it twitched slightly perhaps from surprise but then relaxed as she stroked it.

"shhh shhh it's okay. i won't hurt you if you don't hurt me okay?" She didn't know if it could understand her but it seemed to relax a bit more.
So she stayed awake as the night set in and the storm raged on. Comforting this frightened, sad little creature until and after it fell asleep. She held the creature to her body in a sort of hug. She could feel it had wings, but it couldn't have been a dragon right? Dragons wouldn't act like this?

Those were her last thoughts as she drifted off to sleep. She'd find out what this creature was tomorrow if it didn't change it's mind and made her a midnight snack.

So now Ruffnut has come across poor Hiccup. i hope she doen't seeem OOC. She was quite gentle and caring in the TV episode Free Scaldy, so i based it off that a bit. Anyway, look forward to another update sometime tomorrow :)
