Chapter 9: After You Fall
A/N: hey again Guys, that little note on the TMNT Story was a joke, hope I got you panicked, cause I'm not fading from my schedule except when it's school days, then it will be weekend uploads, and as of now, we have 3 weeks left Yeah, as you can tell I hate school
"NAOKI YOU ARE SO DEAD AFTER THIS WHEN I GET DOWN FROM HERE" Beatrix screamed which definitely made us both cringe.
"Toothless, get Beatrix down" I said in a calm manner but all I got was gurgling and a raspberry at me which obviously meant no
"Toothless, NOW" I yelled, and he obviously cringed at that when I said that. So what did he do he climbed up the tree and got her down.
As Toothless got her down she yelped a bit before saying "Thank You" And Toothless grunted back as to say 'No Problem'
"NAOKI WHERE ARE YOU" She screamed at the top of her lungs and both Toothless and I cringed
"Hey Bud, why don't we just go?" I said to Toothless and he nodded in agreement, so I hopped on his back and we took off almost suddenly and start flying just above the forest and going to a waterfall.
As I was looking down at the waterfall, I heard someone scream
"What The….Naoki, what are you doing?!" I said as I seen him hanging from Toothless' paws
"Wait…..Toothless?! You were in on this as well?!" I said as he nodded, I then sighed, waiting for an answer from Naoki.
"I'll explain….Just….p…..please don't drop me….please" He said trying to hold onto Toothless' Legs
I sighed before explaining "Don't worry, his legs get tired after a couple of hours, so don't worry" And he sighed in reply. "No problem" I whispered under my breath.
I then looked to Toothless and nodded at him, he knew where to go. Home, and so he did, going over the waterfall and going over the Forest. It was then after 10 minutes that we Landed, Toothless dropping Naoki safely down first before we landed. I then hopped off of Toothless and then pat Toothless' head.
"Thanks Bud, go on, go inside, I'll see you soon" I said as he crooned happily and walked inside and I smiled a bit
"Hey Uh…..Naoki?" I said.
"Y….Yeah?" Naoki replied looking at me
"Do you want to sleep over?" I asked.
"No. I…..I'm fine my father might come back and wonder where I am" He replied
"Good point, but if he finds Toothless, I couldn't care less, I'm still keeping him" I said with a tone in my voice that showed I didn't care what my father thought
"A….Alright, I….I'll see you Tomorrow?" Naoki asked me.
"Yeah, of course" I said, smiling a bit.
"Alright, Goodnight it is then" Naoki said, walking to his house
"See you" I said, smiling before I went into my house. And as I walked in, I saw that Toothless was sleeping and hanging upside down like a bat on the wood railing, who knew his tail would be so strong.
"Hey….Toothless" I said, scratching his chin, he then woke up with an instant croon and started purring before I chuckled.
"Come on, let's go to bed" I said. As he slowly got down but then landed with a thump, I then instantly cringed when there was a loud thump
"Oh great…I'm gonna have to clean that up later huh?" I said. I then got a reply from Toothless, as if he was laughing
"Real funny Mister" I said before going upstairs, Toothless, following me. And as I hopped into my bed, Toothless, didn't go onto his stone, but instead, he lied right beside me on the floor
"Bud, why aren't you on your stone?" I asked and he crooned at me before putting his head down. I then looked at him weirdly before closing my eyes and putting my head on the pillow, and slowly falling asleep, now that Toothless, was around, I felt really protected and safe, and he was more than a friend, for 2 weeks that we've known each other, Toothless has been more like a brother to me, though I don't think he'd want to be my brother and just a friend to me, though I'd tell him that.
I immediately woke up due to the fact that I heard knocking at my door. I then looked at Toothless who was growling softly
"Shhh, Bud, stay here, don't worry alright" I said as I nodded at him and he nodded back. Someone was at the door, again, I think it might have been Naoki, but I went down the stairs and opened the door
"Hey Michael" Leo said. Leo was one of the towns' informers, and since my father was in charge of the town, I was supposed to be a town informer but I didn't want to be because I was never good at going up to people's doors and 'informing' them about stuff, and for someone like Leo, I'm proud of him to see what he's doing.
"Hey Michael" Leo replied "Um…I have some bad news for you"
"Oh….no it's Naoki is it?!" I said worried, I hated bad news, but usually if it was my father, he sometimes deserved it
"No, no, he's fine, I saw him in the town hall this morning, it's…..it's your father, it's just…he's been cased as missing, he was supposed to return four hours ago but none of them did" Leo said.
"A….Alright….th….thanks" I said, and he then walked off and I closed the door behind me just looking at the floor.
I then got into a trance staring at the floor and I heard the familiar footstep of Toothless, as he was walking down the stairs, he then ran to me and purred against me. I then hugged him tightly, tears streaming down my cheeks, I never wanted this to happen to my father, I hated him to death but I didn't hate him that much that I wanted him dead or missing. Just then there was another knock at my door.
"C….Can someone let me in" The familiar voice of Beatrix was at the door, and you could obviously tell she was crying
