Run! Run! Run!

That was the only thing inside Toothless' mind during that moment. Monstrous Nightmares are one of the most dangerous dragons that usually comes to the raids. Adapted to have fast movements in the air and on the ground. Great predator capable to set itself on flame, sharp fangs, great size and terrifying appearance. However, it might be fast on the ground, but isn't very good in curves.

Toothless was using this to his advantage. Taking turns every time that he could, he had managed to build some distance between him and the dragon. Toothless is the Viking with greater speed and stamina in the village, but not even he can run forever. Many plans came to his mind, since he didn't want to call for help from the others, he just started to look for a place to hide. *Number 1*

Unfortunately there only was one place nearby that he could use to hide himself.

"I was expecting something like this coming from Toothless." Stoic murmured to Astrid while they were regrouping with the other Vikings, the dragons already having left the village. He had to set a group to look for Snotlout and start the new plans to look for the dragon's nest. The current priority is his nephew. Not only he is the village's heir, but his brother-in-law—Spitelout, would create chaos if he put more priority in the search for the nest. *Number 2*

As expected, the people of Berk was gathered in the center of the village. Stoic started to look for Spitelout while Astrid looked for the rest of her "friends". She never really saw them as friends, only partners for the great war between men and dragons. Socialization is needed to build trust and fix their defects. Fishlegs' fear, Tuffnut and Ruffnut's lack of focus and, may Odin have him by his side, Snotlout's attempts of flirting with every human female whose heart still is pulsing.

"It only destroyed one tower and damaged another this time." Tuffnut said to Ruffnut.

"Great heroes never last." Ruffnut commented and Tuff agreed. Their appreciation for the Flaming Disaster is fascinating yet very odd, more than anyone would expect coming from the most destructive duo of Berk.

"I am back." Astrid said attracting their attention. "Where is Fishlegs?"

"Leaving the barrel at Gobber's place for repairs." Tuff said.

"How was your desperate attempt to get some appreciation from the chief?" Ruff finished. Astrid yelled in her mind, but kept a serene exterior. It wasn't a motive to lower herself to that point. She opened her mouth to say what she was asked for.

"AAAGGGHHHH!" Astrid shut her mouth and looked to the center of the group of Vikings.

Stoic was on the ground while an enraged Spitelout had few drops of blood on his right hand. "You had sent him to death." The enraged Viking said. "YOU KILLED MY SON!" He yelled and charged to the fallen chief. Fortunately for Stoic, a group of Vikings managed to hold his brother-in-law. "WHY DID YOU LET HIM DO THAT?!"

The yells of the man who has lost his family were very painful to Stoic. Spitelout had lost his wife many years ago, the remains of his love was the child that they created together, but that now was lost. Years preparing the young one for him to become the greatest chief of Berk, now proved useless. Some would say that the man only wanted to improve his son to the point where he wouldn't have limits, truth to be told, part of Spitelout's rage was because he wouldn't make his family's name great once again. Valka ruined it with all her attempts to protect dragons and he is too old to make it great. It would be the end of his bloodline and no honor would be at its end. *Number 3*

Never having a child with Valka, Stoic would never know how it feels like to lose a child. *Number 4*

The Vikings took Spitelout to his house and Gobber had came to aid Stoic.

"Sumeone ain't 'appy. Why?" Gobber asked after Stoic stood up.

"I have failed." Stoic said avoiding his friend's look before looking at his eyes. "I will order for the men to look on the nearby waters. Snotlout may have been dropped somewhere near and survived. You look how many people didn't manage to survive." He said before leaving without waiting for Gobber to say a word.

"Sayin' please migh' make people more willin'."Gobber commented and started to look. His first priority was the one who always manage to sneak out and get into the raids. He saw the group of teenagers and asked. "'ave any of ya seen Toothless?"

"No." One of the twins said.

"Nope." The other said.

"Has he managed to get himself in trouble again?" Astrid asked.

"'e's always does it, but always tries ta before calling for help." Gobber said. The teenager always have been trying to show everyone that he is worth, but his ideas always were different from Viking's own ideas. As his guardian, he have to build some of his confidence, but it's hard sometimes. *Number 5*

It didn't take long for Toothless to be found, or at least his smell. He came to the center of the village after made sure that the dragon had left. The place where he had found to hide himself end up being a barrel were some Vikings uses to leave their garbage... and their feces from time to time.

"Boy, what 'appened ta ya?" Gobber asked blocking his nose.

"Long story short, I caught a dragon."

Pain. A single word capable to define what Snotlout is feeling all over his body. He couldn't remember what happened. He tried to move himself, but some ropes didn't allowed it. He was wrapped and after moving a bit, he discovered that he was wrapped in something, something with scales. Realization soon came to his mind as well as the memories of the raid. He was trying to stop the dragon, but it started to fly with him, something hit them and made them fall but Hiccup saved him.

Hiccup... The name of the smallest runt. Why did he name the dragon like that? *Number 6*

Then the rest of the realization came. He was in contact with the wings of the dragon. If he tried to burn the ropes, Snotlout too would be burnt. The Viking soon started to do what every Viking would do in that situation, try to break free without asking for help. He twisted, he tried to push the ropes and shook his body. He realized that it wasn't a good idea when the dragon started to move himself too.

After moving a bit, the dragon showed to be physically stronger by being able to roll enough to pin Snotlout under him and cover both of them from the sun light, or lack of, as it usually didn't come to the island during that period of the year.

"Snot... lout?" The dragon said, making part of the Vikings' panic become curiosity.

"You said my name?" Snotlout asked with a bit of fear in his tone.

My gosh, there are six this time. It will take a while.

Number 1: More cannon Toothless traits.

Number 2: Snotlout doesn't have the same surname as Hiccup. Considering that they live a paternal system, Spitelout actually is Valka's brother, not Stoic's brother.

Number 3: There was an episode in the series where Snotlout had to always win a competition to make his father happy, if he lose, his father would see him as a shame. I think that they don't like each other very much.

Number 4: Nobody remember about Hiccup, except for Snotlout. You did finished reading this chapter before come here. Right?

Number 5: I hope that you didn't think that Toothless was Stoick's son during this story. Stoic doesn't have a reason to take care of a boy like Toothless if they don't share the same blood. And Toothless doesn't look like Valka.

Number 6: The reality is getting twisted once again. You saw in the last chapter some characters remembering. Hiccup wasn't meant to get wrapped in that net, it made the reality to be modified again. I wonder what else those alterations might do if they keep changing the destinies.

That is it. Toothless is safe, Spitelout is anger and Snotlout is the first one to socialize with our dear hybrid Hiccup. I never had ready a fanfiction where Snotlout actually is major character, that is completely good not a jerk or bully, during this moment of the story.
