-New Human-

A couple of days later, a was woken up by the boy. I heard his voice and yawned. Another day of training. Then I heard another voice. A higher pitch, and much more aggressive than his. There must be another human with him. I come out from behind the rock and look to see if the boy is okay. The other human appears to be a girl. She sees me and pushes the boy down. I instantly want to protect the boy from the danger. I run towards the girl. She picks up her weapon, and she got ready to swing it at me, but then the boy got in the middle of it, and threw the weapon away. ''No! No. It's okay. She's a friend.'' He says to me. I don't believe him, but if I hurt her, I would get in a heap of trouble with him. He looks back to the girl ''You just scared him.'' The girl is surprised and scared at the same time ''I scared him?'' I growled at her. ''Who is him?'' she asks the boy. The boy lets go of my snout ''Astrid, Toothless. Toothless, Astrid.'' I hissed at her. She ran off with a smug look on her face. ''Duh, duh, duh, we're dead.'' the boy said. I walked away from him, and he asked, ''Hey! Were do you think your going?'' I laid down to signal him to get on. He got on quickly, and I easily followed the girl's trail. I found her jumping over a fallen tree, and I swooped down to get her. As soon as I grabbed her, she started screaming. I found the nearest tree, and landed on the top. She hung onto a branch underneath me. ''Hiccup! Get me down from here!'' she yelled at him. So that was the boy's name. Hiccup. At least I knew it know. ''You have to give me a chance to explain.'' he pleaded. ''I am not listening to anything you have to say!'' she yelled. ''Then I won't speak. Just let me show you. Please Astrid.'' he pleaded again. Astrid hauls herself up to my branch, and I watch her to make sure she doesn't do anything to hurt Hiccup. I realize that she's cautious and scared of me. Good. She shouldn't be happy to get on the back of a night fury. She touched me, and I let out a small growl. She backed away momentarily, but continued to get on my back. Once she was on she said, ''Now get me down.'' I still didn't like her at all. ''Toothless, down, gently.'' he commanded me. No one commands me around. So I took off slowly at first. Letting the wind guide me, ''See nothing to be afraid of.'' Hiccup said to Astrid. That ticked me off. I'm a night fury! Everyone should be afraid of me, well…. except Hiccup. Then I took off into the air as fast as I could go, strait up. Astrid was screaming again. ''Toothless! What is wrong with you! Bad dragon.'' I put a smug face on. ''He's not usually like this.'' he said to Astrid, and I tucked my wings in, so we were dive bombing into the water below us. ''Oh no.'' Hiccup said. Astrid was screaming again as I went under and over the water a couple times. ''Toothless! What are you doing? We need her to like us!'' Hiccup said. I flew strait up again, and then started to spin. ''And now the spinning.'' Hiccup said. Then I let my wings go wherever the wind took them, so we went in all different directions while falling. ''Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile.'' Hiccup said. As we were falling, Astrid said pleading ''Okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just get me off of this thing.'' I look at her to see if she's telling the truth. Maybe she isn't as bad as I think. Before we hit the water again, I opened my wings up to fly strait. Ahead of us was the sunset. I glide across the air slowly. I go up into the clouds for Astrid to start liking us as the boy had said. I start going through the clouds, and over them. Then we see the village. I look at Astrid. I can tell that she's impressed with the view. Then she puts her head on Hiccup's shoulder. I look back to where I was flying. We fly over the village. ''Okay. I admit it. This is pretty cool.'' Astrid said. ''Amazing. He's amazing.'' she patted my neck and I realized that she is a friend. She isn't going to hurt us. The two were talking, when I heard the noise I'd hoped I'd never hear again. The buzzing was stronger than ever before. I tried to protect Hiccup and Astrid, but it was too strong to escape. I was in a trance. I couldn't hear anything they were saying on my back, and all I could do is fly towards the source. The buzzing finally stopped and I broke free, but we were already in the nest. The giant dragon was smelling for food, and it found the humans on my back. ''Come on Toothless, let's get out of here.'' Once he said that, the giant dragon quickly tried to grab us using his mouth. The other dragons in the cave got frightened, and flew towards the exit. We were flying upwards, and we narrowly escaped. Astrid and Hiccup didn't speak on the ride back, but when we landed in the trench, Astrid said, ''It totally makes sense. It's like giant beehive. Their the workers, and that's their queen. It controls them.'' She got off of me and ran towards the entrance of the trench. ''We've got to tell your dad'' Then Hiccup quickly got off. ''No! No'' He ran to Astrid. ''No, not yet. They'll kill Toothless. Astrid we have to think this through, carefully.'' Hiccup walked away. I was eavesdropping, but I pretended to drink some water from the pond. "Hiccup. We just discovered the dragons nest. The thing we've been looking for since vikings first sailed here, and you want to keep it a secret. To protect your pet dragon! Are you serious?'' Hiccup turned around and said in a serious tone ''Yes.'' Hiccup turned away again. ''Okay, Then what do we do?'' Astrid said calmly. ''Just, give me until tomorrow. I'll figure something out.'' he said. ''Okay.'' Astrid said. Then I heard Astrid hit Hiccup, I was about to tackle her until I heard her say, ''That's for kidnapping me.'' I look up and see Hiccup staring at me with a confused look. He blamed me for kidnapping her, but it was fun to do anyway. Then I saw Astrid pull Hiccup close to her and lock her lips with his for a split second. "That's for… everything else.'' Astrid walked away from Hiccup, looked back, and then ran. I walked up next to Hiccup and looked at him. His eyes were what mine looked like when I was with Snowfire. Then he looked at me. ''What are you looking at?'' he said annoyingly. I knew that the boy and Astrid liked each other, but Astrid wasn't ready yet. I looked back at where Astrid left. Hopefully Hiccup and Astrid would find love one day.

-Saving a life-

I was enjoying an afternoon nap when I heard screaming from far away. It was Hiccup's screaming. I instantly got to save him. I clawed at the rock wall that the boy came down every day. My claws couldn't get a grip, and I tried and tried until my claws had finally met grass. I dug my claws deeply into the dirt. I climbed out and started to run as fast I could, trying to fly at the same time, but my tail wouldn't allow me to. I was getting closer to the source of the noise. Then I heard a dragon in rage. My eyes stretched wide. If there was another dragon involved, Hiccup would not last long. Then I was in the human village. No one was stopping me, so they must all be where Hiccup was. I charged up a fireball and jumped into the air. I saw that Hiccup was in the same cage as a monstrous nightmare. I blasted the cage and I fell inside. There was a lot of smoke, but dragons had better eyes than humans. I could see that Hiccup was pinned down by the dragon. I jumped onto the nightmare's back. I was trying to get him off of the boy, and then I recognized a familiar scent. I finally got him off of Hiccup, and the smoke was disappearing. I hung onto the dragon's back, and he was trying to get me off using his head, but he couldn't reach me. He rolled over and I fell onto the ground. He was trying to do a death blow by biting my head with his teeth, but I kept pushing him away with my claws and back legs. Then I got I good shot to his gut, and I pushed him off of me. I finally got a good look at him. ''So it is you! Raging Inferno!'' He must have gotten captured by the humans when he left my kids for death! ''Move out of the way Nightscale! The boy is mine!'' I growled at him. ''No! The boy stays with me!" He tried getting around me, but my defense was impenetrable. Every time he got close, I threatened to bite him. Then I decided that enough was enough. I jumped towards him growling with rage. He knew that if we got into a physical fight, he would lose. The boy ran up next to me. He pushed my nose away from him ''Alright Toothless. Go! Get out of here!'' he puffed with exhaustion. I refused to leave him defenseless. The other humans were coming into the ring. They wanted me dead, or alive. I watched them pour in. ''Go! Go!'' he yelled me. He was still pushing on my face, but I still wanted to protect him. If I left, he could get hurt, or worse, die. Then I saw one of the larger humans pick up a large weapon, and run toward us. I saw him as the biggest threat. So I started to growl. ''No! Dad, he won't hurt you!'' His words were meaningless as I ran to him. Other humans were trying to deal deathblows, but I easily pushed three of them away. Then I jumped onto the large human, and he struggled but I had him pinned down. ''Toothess stop!'' The boy's words echoed in my head. I ignored him, and started to charge a fireball. If this fireball hit, he would be killed. ''NOOOOOO!" Hiccup screamed. His voice was layered in so much fear and loss it reminded me of the wail I let out as Snowfire died in my arms. I stopped charging my fireball, and I looked at the boy. He was scared. I whimpered at him. This human was ready to kill me, and he wanted him to live! Then the other humans tackled me, and soon I was pinned down. "Snowfire save me!'' I whimpered.

-Prisoner-

I was put into a small cage with the other dragons. I saw Raging Inferno next to me. I tried to get out of the chains. "It's useless Nightscale. I've tried.'' he said with sadness. "Why did you leave my kids for death!'' I asked him. He looked at me with more sadness. ''I didn't want to leave them, but Stormy Wake was my sister, and I had to bury her body. I did so, and when I went back to the hollow trunk, but no one was there. I looked at the note you had left, and I'm guessing that your two kids left, looking for a new home. I'm sorry. If I could've watched them for you, I would've, but I had to bury my sister.'' Raging Inferno was almost crying. ''I understand your pain.'' He suddenly got angry. ''What do you know about pain! I've never seen you in any pain like this!'' I growled at him. ''I've had more pain than you could ever imagine! I watched my mate die in front of me! I've lost my kids after not seeing them grow up! And I lost my best friend! Tell me that you've had more pain!'' He calmed down, and looked into my eyes. His eyes were dull and in pain. ''I never knew…'' I put my head back down. Then humans came into the cage and dragged me away. I looked at Raging Inferno one last time, and I realized that he didn't have the hostile look he always gave me. I let the humans drag me to the ship. Once I was on the boat, the put even more chains on me. I struggled to show the humans that I wasn't weak. I calmed down enough to pay attention to what was going on. I saw Hiccup standing on a ledge staring down at me. I didn't have to see his eyes to know that he was full of sadness. Then I saw the large human give me an angry look. ''Lead us home. Devil'' We set off onto our quest, and I got more and more depressed the longer I was on the boat. Snowfire won't be able to protect me here.
