Chapter 16 folks, read if you dare and try to enjoy ;)


"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The team stood, as they saw Hiccup scream murder from the most petrifying nightmare and soon they noticed that he stopped breathing but sweat was still flowing down from his forehead. Nightmare sand surrounded Hiccup very quickly as more and more formed, causing the boy to continue breathing but very slowly and heavily.

Soon the sand traveled to Pitch, which was trible as much as Toothless's nightmare while half of it went to Gothel as well."Now isn't that sweet. Hiccup's deepest, worst, most petrifying nightmare, or in this case, nightmares are all of you." Gothel laughed while Pitch finished up the witch's statement,

"Very sad to know that the boy's worst nightmares are his own family and friends, guess all those years of neglect and mistreatment really made him not fully trust you, but it was very helpful." "Stoick, I have to thank you and the rest of the villagers for preparing him for his worst nightmare, but his bestest friends betraying him... Hmmm maybe they need to gain more trust than I thought."

"SHUT UP PITCH!" Merida shouted, punching the nightmares out of her way, leading the others near Gothel. "

You think you can just grab someone and make them a tool for you while they're being tortured!?" Jack questioned, infuriated while he tried to attack the witch but with new speed, she was already next to the flower as she laughed.

"Silly people. Ahahaha!" "You all are the boy's fear, in fact his fear is so powerful that it's making me younger and more beautiful than that magical hair of yours Rapunzel."

"AT WHAT COST?!" "Your youth in exchange for someone so innocent being in pain!?" "You two can't be that evil!"

Rapunzel's outburst only amused Pitch as he continued to cause nightmares to the dragon and rider. "Sure we can, he's the one I needed after so many years." "You see, on the night of Hiccup's birth, I only came to have a friendly visit. But the second I made my entrance the boy wasn't scared at all, not even close to being afraid of me so it went from a visit to let's say, a favor."

"HOW IS IT A FAVOR IF YOU JUST GAVE OUR SON AN UNTHINKABLE DESTINY?!"

"Come on now Stoick, whose 'our'?" "If you recall Valka is already long gone, away from your lives." "By the way, I was only getting in the way of the destiny Man in the Moon had in plan."

"WHAT?!"

"Well Bunny, the hour while Valka was giving birth, I slipped into your workshop North, and took a peek into Manny's prophecies and stuff until I stumbled across on that really surprised me." "One the states,' The child born without fear of the darkness will grow and defeat The Boogeyman once and for all with his allies.'"

" I didn't actually understand the allies part but I stopped by to take a look at Hiccup and saw that he was the one so what better way to protect myself than have the boy get forced fear?"

"YOU MONSTER!" Tooth punched some more nightmare sand and got up to his face to hit him but only missing him by a centimeter. Pitch smiled as he then continued to gather more sand from Hiccup's nightmares, while Gothel gathered more for her youth. "Take another look at his nightmare. I'm sure it's just as good as the first one, the more he fears, the more I stay young."

Hiccup's nightmare (again)

He was surrounded by dark fog that clouded the whole area, making it difficult to see anything, or anyone. "Not funny guys, I'm not afraid..." He looked around until he spotted the viking teens just standing there.

"Astrid, FishLegs, Snotlout, Ruff, Tuff!?" He ran towards them but in an instant touch on Fishlegs, and the teen disappeared into dust. "Fishlegs?" He went to the twins but they too went off into the wind. "Ruff?!" "Tuff!?" "Snotlout?!" Even Snotlout disappeared until he only saw Astrid standing. He tried to hold on to her but at the single touch, she was gone as he heard whispers shout,

"It's all your fault!"

Hiccup ignored the whispers and soon spotted Merida, Jack, Rapunzel, Eugene, Gobber and the guardians. But even if he stayed clear of them, even saying that he missed them, they were gone as well. "Guys?" "Toothless?" "Dad?"

He lookd around and soon spotted Toothless, on the ground, injured and in pain. "Toothless!" Hiccup ran towards his dragon and once he got to him, he was blocked by some sort of shield while Toothless howled in more pain. "Don't worry bud, you're going to be fine okay. Just hang on!" Hiccup cried as he pounded the shield like bubble, trying to break it and get his friend out. He kept pounding on until he heard and then saw someone else in trouble. "HICCUP!" "Help!"

"DAD!"

There was Hiccup's father, already half way down in some sort of sink hole while Toothless stilled howled in agony. "Oh no...Dad...Toothless..." He then stretched both his arms to each person; one to break the force field around Toothless, and one to try to pull his father out. No matter how much he struggled, Hiccup couldn't get his father out as tears threatened to fall from his forest green eyes. His father was already too deep as he struggled to speak," Hiccup...Watch over the village for me...Make sure you stay safe...And live your life...Without me.."

"Don't say that dad, please." "You're going to be okay... Just don't let go, please."

Unfortunately, Hiccup felt his father's hand slip and soon his father was gone, never to be seen again. "No. No. No..." "Toothless!" No matter how much he tried, Hiccup couldn't even help his friend out until Toothless's howls came to silence, causing Hiccup to panic. "Toothless?" The force field was apparently gone that second since Hiccup was able to place his hand on Toothless, but his friend was already gone... Dead..."

"Toothless, no please don't leave me..." "No..." "NOOOO!"

End of Dream

The four teens has had enough of Pitch's games and torture towards there friend so they all attacked in one move, only to be able to punch him in the face lightly. "Fine, since I did promise the boy to do no harm against his family and friends, I'll let the dragon go..."

Just like that, with a snap Toothless was out of the bubble, jolting awake with a roar as he looked around. He saw Hiccup in the bubble, the team, and Pitch. Placing all the clues together, Toothless charged towards Pitch, pinning him to the ground, getting ready to fire.

"Do it Toothless," Rapunzel commanded until the threat from Gothel made everyone freeze. "Sure, do it dragon, that is, if you want to see Hiccup die with one stab!" There Gothel held her knife, raising it on top o the flower that held Hiccup, aiming for his heart!

"Gothel are you mad!?" "You'll put the end of us both in one move!"

"Be quiet Pitch! So what's it going to be?" "Kill the nightmare king once and for all at the price of your friend here getting killed or... Don't kill him and Hiccup here will be knife free." She held the knife firmly but ready to let go at any second, it seemed like eternity before Toothless got off of Pitch... And blasted Gothel right to the wall!

"ARE YOU CRAZY LIZARD!?"

The evil witch was dusting rock dust off of her and soon pulled out some sort of wand with a jewel on top... But not just any jewel...

"THE DRAGON'S JEWEL!"

Everyone looked to who shouted that and soon looked like they would faint right there and then. The someone who shouted was none other than...

"TOOTHLESS?!"


Surprised? Well got inspired by one of Nightfury999's stories so yeah I just made Toothless start to talk, cool right? See ya next time ;)
