"I already know."
Hiccup stares at Toothless with utter disbelief, unable to process the words for a while before he sits down on the grass as if he fell.
"You…You…" To this, Hiccup shakes his head. "Then why didn't you kill me?! I could be a danger to you! I came here to get your head in the first place!"
Toothless sits next to Hiccup and runs his hand through Hiccup's brown hair. "Because I know you wouldn't kill me the moment I saw you when we first met."
Hiccup raises a brow. "When I was wearing a freaking dress? Did I look at harmless?"
Toothless laughs softly. "Well, you look pretty cute and rape-able-"
"RAPE-ABLE!?" Hiccup screeches with embarrassment with glowing bright red cheeks.
"Yep." Toothless said bluntly and looks at the moon. "But…that wasn't the first time I met you."
Hiccup furrows his brows together. "What do you mean?"
Toothless sighs softly and closes his eyes, taking in the lunar light. "I'm saying…we met before."
Hiccup's heart practically stopped. They met before? But when? And if they did, how can Hiccup still live? In fact, how can Hiccup forget meeting Toothless?
"I…I don't understand."
Toothless scratches his head and bit his lower lip. "It's a bit complicated, Hiccup…"
"Then let me try to understand." Hiccup grabs one of Toothless's hands in both of his. "Please."
Toothless stares into the determine green eyes and opens his mouth to say-
"HICCUP!"
Both of them didn't have time to react. A net was suddenly shot at Toothless, making the vampire take this last moment to push Hiccup away, making sure the werewolf is out of harm.
"Toothless!" Hiccup shouts out, hearing the vampire groan in pain. Hiccup's nose twitches and his eyes widen.
Garlic. A Vampire's weakness.
"Hiccup!" Hiccup's eyes widen at the voice. That sounds like-
"D-D-Dad?!" Stoick steps into the plains, along with the rest of his soldiers. When Stoick sees his son, he runs towards him and brings him to a tight embrace.
"Hiccup, you're safe! You're safe…" Hiccup freezes at the rare, fatherly hug before Stoick turns his head to Toothless, glaring at him with all his might. "Bring him back to the village! We're going to end his life soon enough!"
"Dad, no! Don't hurt him!" Hiccup reaches out for Toothless but Stoick grabs him before he can touch him.
"Hiccup, are you mad?! He's an enemy! He's a vampire!"
"And I love him!"
This causes multiple gasps, as well as Toothless staring at Hiccup with little strength.
"H-Hic…Hiccup…"
Hiccup tugs free from Stoick and hugs Toothless tightly. He looks at his father. "I don't care if he's a vampire! He's a good person! The only vampire you should be worried about is the King himself!" Stoick's hands clenches to fist. "Dad, please…Toothless wishes to form an alliance to stop this war! He only has the greatest of tension! Please, dad, hear him out!"
Stoick has never seen so much madness in Hiccup. Falling in love with a vampire? The werewolf's natural enemy? His eyes stay on his son before he gives a glance to Toothless.
"You devil!" Stoick glares back at Toothless. "What lies have you spout into his young mind?!"
"It was not a lie!" Toothless protests strongly, his breathing steadying a bit. Even though he's a vampire, he's still the strongest and he won't be defeated in an argument because of some damn garlic. "I mean it…with every word…"
"And why, pray tell, is your aim in this alliance, devil?"
"To defeat my father…the Vampire King…"
Stoick scoffs. "And once you defeat your father, you will surely send your soldiers to kill the Hairy Hooligan Tribe."
"You didn't let me…finish…" Toothless grunts in pain again, his eyes slowly trailing to Hiccup. "I also wish…to ask for your son's hand in marriage…"
"What?"
"WHAT?!"
"WHAT?!" The whole army screams out at the vampire's crazy idea. Stoick stands in front of Hiccup with his face looking like a tomato ready to burst.
Toothless rolls his eyes. "Come on…You must have expected Hiccup to be asked in matrimony…right?"
He receives no answer from the tribe. Toothless sighs and looks at Hiccup. "Seriously? Are they that blind? Did they seriously think no one would marry you? Or at least, ask you out?"
Hiccup pokes his head out from behind his dad and shrugs. "Well, I'm the only fish boned-pup in the village so; I'm the skinniest and the smallest. No one likes to marry a pup."
Toothless chuckles softly and smiles. "Well, might I say that you are the cutest were-pup I ever seen and I wouldn't mind marrying someone as cute as you."
Leave it to Toothless to flirt with Hiccup right in front of a furious Stoick.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Stoick shouts, aiming his glare at Toothless. "You won't be seeing my son anymore…We shall make sure you die slowly once we reached your execution."
"Dad, stop this!" Hiccup grabs his father's arm to stop him but Stoick pushes him to two Viking werewolves, letting his arm be restrained.
"Take Hiccup home! He's under this devil's spell…" He turns around, his back facing Hiccup. "He's not my son anymore…"
Hiccup's eyes widen at those words and cries out.
"DAD, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! STOP THIS! YOU CAN BLAME ME BUT NOT TOOTHLESS! YOU CAN'T HURT HIM!"
"SILENCE!" Stoick sharply turns around and looks at Hiccup with burning eyes. "How can you trust this devil!? He is pure evil! We heard he has the potential traits of being the beast and because there is only one vessel for the beast in the entire world, HE is the living, breathing being! There is no other vessel more dangerous than he!"
"I ALREADY KNOW THAT!" Hiccup clenches his hands into fists. "BUT THAT GIVES NO RIGHT TO EXECUTE HIM! He has never hurt anyone!"
"HE KILLED YOUR MOTHER!"
Hiccup stops struggling, his eyes widening in shock. His father looks at him with an angry but hurtful expression. He closes his eyes.
"He took your mother away, Hiccup…On that day."
Hiccup shakes his head. "N-N…No…" Tears start to appear in his eyes. "That's…That's not true…"
Stoick turns to Toothless and stands beside him. "Tell him, devil."
Hiccup shakily turns to Toothless. "T-Toothless…tell me…tell me it's not true…"
Toothless looks away, not meeting his eyes. He gives no answer.
"Toothless-"
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY LITTLE BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND!"
"WARGHHHHH!" A red flash passes by the guards holding Hiccup, the sound of ripped sleeves and flesh being scratched fills the air. The guards fall onto their knees, gripping their bleeding arms. Stoick pulls out his sword.
"ARM YOURSELF, MEN!"
Hiccup didn't know what happen next. But he remembers vampires attacking werewolves and because of the eclipse, the vampires are losing. A werewolf bit a vampire's arm and only get its side hit by another. Then he sees his father, clashing against Hookfang with swords. He knew his father is strong. Hookfang wouldn't stand a chance. He notices Stormfly throwing what seems to be darts at the werewolves from her fingertips, causing the werewolves to fall on the ground as if they got shot by a tranquillizer dart. He notices Flightmare in the battle too, sending blue mists onto the face of his opponents and he can hear the werewolves whimpering in fear.
Blood paint the grass everywhere. Whose blood, Hiccup doesn't really know. But if this is what the war between the two tribes, Hiccup is afraid of the battle that is to come against the Vampire King's army.
"Hiccup!" He turns around and finds Skrill running towards him with Speedy by her side.
"Skrill, what are you doing here?! It's dangerous!"
"Oh hush now! We're here to help!" Skrill shouts over the crowd.
"But weren't you and the rest sleeping?!"
"Honey, we're vampires. We wake up at the sense of danger." Skrill pats Hiccup on the shoulder and the poor boy's eyes widen at the sight of a large Viking behind Skrill.
"Skrill, look-!"
Swish!
"Urgh!" The man suddenly falls on the ground, not moving but his eyes are still open. "Nigh…Can't move…!"
"Never mess with the Stinger family, pal." Speedy said, turning to Hiccup. "We're getting out of here." She grabs Hiccup's hand.
"Come with me and Speedy. We'll get you to the palace."
"But Toothless-"
"We can't save him now! We have to get you safe first! That's what Toothless would do! To protect his number 1 priority! Are you going to have him blame himself for your suffering when you get home?!"
Hiccup's heart is tore. He turns to his father and notices Hookfang backing off, panting. When Stoick looks at Hiccup, he sees his eyes widen at the sight of his only heir being with two vampires.
"Hiccup!"
"He's not my son anymore…"
Those words scar onto his mind and heart. He turns to Toothless, who's staring back at him, kneeling in pain. Even though the battle is still continuing, here, where Hiccup and Toothless make eye contact, the sounds are blocked out with them being in their world. Toothless makes a movement and tries to speak with all his might.
"Go…"
The voice was so weak and tired but still, it contains the love and sweetness in it. With a deep breath, Hiccup closes his eyes tightly and nods.
"I-I'll go. Hurry before I change my mind…"
Skrill and Speedy nods to each other and runs out of the battle.
"HICCUP!" Hiccup didn't dare to open his eyes. His father's voice calling out for him is painful enough.
"VAMPIRES, FALL BACK! FALL BACK!" Stormfly's voice cry out, signaling a retreat.
The only sounds left was the loud cry of the vampires and werewolves, each one fighting for what they want to get back.
The casualties? Hiccup doesn't want to know. But he can't ignore it.
"HE KILLED YOUR MOTHER!"
"A lie…that has to be a lie…T-Toothless would never…"
But his tears come crawling back, making him grit his teeth to try to ignore the pounding pain in his heart.
It's time for some answers. And he knows the right person to ask…
~In the Infirmary of the Vampire Castle~
"Here you are…This should do the trick in no time."
Skrill says as she pats Hiccup's bandaged arm softly. Hiccup didn't answer. He keeps staring at his lap with no shirt on and only his brown pants managed to cover his decency. His ears are drooped and his tails didn't wag, just lay on the soft covers of the bed. Skrill frowns a bit. Ever since they came back from the battle, Hiccup has been in this way. Even when the news of Hookfang's capture and several vampires' death reach his ears, Hiccup grows gloomier and gloomier. "Hiccup, is something wrong, dear?"
"…Skrill…I don't know what to do…My dad…he said Toothless…he said Toothless…" He lifts his head to look at the shocked woman's face. "I need to speak with Flightmare…Please…"
Skrill bits her lower lip and after much pleading, she reluctantly nods. She stands up and whispers softly. "I'll send him in. And…Hiccup…" She pats his hand softly. "Whatever Toothless has done…it was only for your best." With those mysterious words, Skrill left the room to have Hiccup some alone time.
His brows furrow in confusion. He closes his eyes and sighs softly, trying to remember anything in his memories.
"I'm saying…we met before."
"HE KILLED YOUR MOTHER!"
He shuts his eyes tighter.
Focus…
Focus…
Focus…
"Give him to me. I'll save his life with my own."
Hiccup's eyes widen at the voice. What was that? Did someone speak to him? He looks around his room to find no one. Was that something out of his imagination? Has he gone mad?
Knock knock!
"A-Ah…Come…Come in."
Click! The door opens and stands the stoic child, Flightmare. "You wanted to see me, Hiccup?"
When he receives a nod, Flightmare sits on a chair just beside Hiccup's bed. "Skrill said you have something you want to talk about?"
"Yes…" Hiccup closes his eyes and sighs softly. "My dad told me something about Toothless…and because you know everything, I want to know…" Hiccup turns to Flightmare with a serious look. "Did he truly kill my mother on that day…?"
Flightmare froze. "Flightmare, please. You have to tell me."
He looks at Hiccup in slight hesitation before in shame.
"Toothless…might have killed your mother."
Hiccup raises a brow at that. "Might have?"
Flightmare scratches his head, his brows furrowed. "That's the thing…I just can't find a definite proof but on that day when you lost your mom, it was the time where Toothless went off on his annual solo hunt."
Hiccup grows more confuse. "Solo hunt?"
Flightmare nods. "When he was in the Vampire King's castle that time, he announced he would take a solo hunt because of an incident a few decades ago because every year on that day, he would release uncontrollable rage and fury…"
"What happened on that incident?" Flightmare grows quiet and his eyes, for once, holds unimaginable sorrow. Hiccup tilts his head. "Flightmare…what happened? What happened in that incident?"
Flightmare closes his eyes and lets out a shaky breath, nervous about whatever he is about to say. Hiccup places his hands on Flightmare's.
"Please…"
Flightmare grows calmer when he felt the werewolf trying to comfort him. When he opens his eyes, he looks at Hiccup with glowing blue eyes.
"It was the day the King killed his mother."
