Tears stung my eyes as I ran through the dark forest. All that ran through my head was what my father had told me. I was to marry Ashter Hofferson. Before I met Toothless, before dragon training, I would have been over joyed with the thought of marrying Ashter. But now...things are different. I love Toothless and the thought of marrying Ashter made me feel like I'm betraying him. Choking back a sob I continued to run through the forest till I found the entrance to the cove. "Toothless..." I said panting before I ran through the entrance and into the moonlit clearing that was our sanctuary. "Toothless!"

I was lying peacefully thinking of my sweet Hiccup. She was looked so full of hope today, her face so full of emotion. I know she felt so proud seeing her invention working. Our flight together today was amazing, it was like we were one. Not dragon and human but as one being. Our hearts as one as we glided through the rock pillars...

I let out a content sigh as I looked up at the sky from where I Lay. I thanked whoever it was up there that I was with this amazing princess. Sighing and closing my eyes I heard a faint sound that sounded like Hiccup calling my name. No, it couldn't be she was with her village and father at this time. But as if to show me I was wrong I heard her cry out for me as loud as she could. Shooting up from my spot I looked toward the entrance where she was. My heart clenched in fear as I watched her collapsed to her knees her hands covering her face. Something was wrong, what could cause her to act like this? Getting up I quickly made my way to her, and when I by her side I could smell it, a salty smell I recognized from when that male from the village had hurt her, she was crying. Purring softly I nudged her letting her know I was here for her. Her body wrecked with sobs, It broke my heart. Nudging her again I tried to see what was wrong. When she finally looked up at me, her eyes were red and puffy as the salty liquid cascaded down her cheeks. Hiccup...my Hiccup what could cause you this much sadness.

"Oh Toothless...Toothless." She said as she put her arms around my neck crying into my scaly shoulder. Looking at her softly I rested my head against her in an embrace, letting her relax into me. My Hiccup...please tell me what made you so sad?

As if she had heard my thoughts, she began to speak. "My father...I'm arranged to be married...to Ashter." she said holding onto me tightly. My heart froze and for a moment I thought it had completely stopped beating at all. She was going to be married...to that human male in her village. My heart broke and I looked at her as she pulled back to look into my toxic green eyes, her warm hands on both sides of my face. Her eyes, her beautiful forest green eyes were full of sadness and dread. Oh my Hiccup...

Moving slowly I changed my form, I felt my scales shed and change into smooth skin and soft cloth of the clothes she had gave me. I felt my wings change to the cloak I wore over my form. Looking at my Hiccup softly, I held her in my arms. "Hiccup..." I said my voice deep and soft. I felt her grasp the cloth of my shirt in a tight grasp as she looked up at me again. Her eyes still held such sadness and in this moonlight she looked breath taking. "Hiccup..." I spoke softer almost a whisper as I leaned forward resting my forehead against her own, smiling gently. She smiled back softly as a rosy blush dusted her cheeks showing her cute freckles. I felt something...something knew I've never felt before inside me, pull me toward her, closer till our noses brushed and our lips were centimeters apart. I felt her breath mingle with mine before my lips covered hers softly and my eyes flutter closed.

I have no idea what I was doing, but when her lips responded to the action, I felt like I had been shocked but lighting. It was exhilarating as our lips continued to move together in soft brushing movements. Nothing moving past the sweet movements of this...this amazing feeling. Slowly our lips pulled apart our foreheads still resting together as we looked into each other's eyes. "Toothless..." She whispered softly like she was afraid if she spoke any louder she would break the spell that was woven around us. Smiling at her softly I spoke to her of how I felt, "I love you, I love you Hiccup. I won't let you go without a fight. I love you and I won't lose you to anyone. Not to my kind and not to a...marriage your father has forced you into." I spoke to her softly.

She looked at me her eyes misty as new tears streamed down her cheeks. A smile was still on her lips as she laughed softly pulling me into a warm embrace which I gladly returned, holding her firmly to me. "I love you too, Toothless." she whispered to me softly. Smiling softly I pulled back just enough so our foreheads touched again as my eyes fell hooded. She smiled softly at me and again our lips met once more in a sweet meeting. I would have to ask her what this sweet feeling was. I'm sure she would know. There was nothing my Hiccup did not know.

It was late when I left the party, which was still in full swing. Chuckling I made my way home I was in a particularly good mood. I was just told by my father that after dragon training was over, that as soon as we both were of age we would be wed. It made me happy to know that this beautiful woman was to be mine. True I have been hard to her in the past, but I wanted to push her to become a better warrior, a true Viking. But lately it's done nothing but anger me to be bested at by her. Sighing I look to the sky as I took a walk taking my time getting home. I just wanted her to be able to protect herself, but now... Sighing I shook my head. I should be proud of her, but for my future wife to beat me as a warrior aggravates me to no end.

Shaking my head to rid these thoughts I looked back to the streets to see the object of my thoughts and affection. Were is she going? I thought as moved to fallow her into the woods. Though once again I lost her. Growling in frustration as I looked around the dark forest I was just about to head back when I heard her shout a name in the distance. Taking off as fast as I could the only thought in my mind was that she was in trouble.

When I reached what looked like the edge of a cliff I knelt down and I looked down into the moon lit clearing below and saw her standing near an entrance I must have missed with a man. My eyes narrowed seeing her with him. Who was he, and what did he want with Hiccup? Growling I moved to find the entrance thinking she was in danger when something happened. I saw him kiss her and rage took over me. How dare he touch my Hiccup! I glared at the man ready to go in there and attack him when I saw her return the kiss. I dropped whatever I had in my hand and looked at her shocked as I dropped to my knees watching the two.

How...how could this happen? She was supposed to be with me...yet here she was kissing this man. Who was he and how did he get here? I knew for a fact that he was not from the village. Gritting my teeth and glaring at the two, I made a vow to find out all I could about this man and what hiccup was doing with him.

I don't know what time It was when I returned to the village and made my way home. Toothless had made everything better. My lips still tingled from the kiss he gave me before I left. It was cute how he realized what a Kiss was after I told him. He was really too adorable at times. Sighing I smiled as I quietly entered my home and snuck my way to my room to change for bed. Toothless...only he can make me feel like this. No matter what is being thrown at us, we will make it through anything. We were going to fight for my right to be free, for a chance for us to be together. I just hoped this wouldn't blow up in our faces Smiling as I brushed my hair out I thought of our moment in the cove and my heart swelled with emotion. I wish he was here with me now. My heart wanted me to go back to that cove and never leave him. But I couldn't...not yet. Soon though, i will be me and him and we will be free to fly the sky together.

Getting up from the chair in my room I put my brush down and made my way to my bed. Laying down I closed my eyes with a smile on my face and a content sigh. Tomorrow...tomorrow I confront my father and tell him what it was I want. I wasn't going to marry Ashter, I was going to be free.
