A/N: Hey everyone, I'm back with the next chapter of my story, I am going to keep writing till I run out of ideas and I don't want to get writers block if I stop so I'm going to keep going, well that's all I had to say and I guess I'll see you all in the next authors note.

Astrid led Hiccup to her house and shushed him as they went upstairs to her room," you stay up here while I get some bandages," Hiccup nodded and watched as Astrid left the room.

Hiccup looked around and walked over to the bed, he sat down and felt that it was softer than his mothers nest, but it was cold and didn't have that soothing warmth that he felt when he was under her wing. The boy crouched down so he was on the wooden floor and felt that it had the same texture as the nest but all it needed was some warmth.

He took in a deep breath and breathed fire on the wood, but not enough to burn through it, just to make a dark circle that was warm enough for his skin as he sighed contently and let his eyes flutter close, but not before snapping open again when he heard Astrid enter the room and gasp at the burn mark on the floor.

" You burned the floor! Why would you do that!?" Astrid whispered-shouted angrily," if you knew about my species you would know whenever we make a nest or sleep somewhere it has to be warm, well with my standard at least," Hiccup rolled onto his side and made a gurgling sound almost like a purr from a cat.

" Well don't burn my room, if you want to do that ask for a cover or sleep in the forest," Astrid said as she got down with the bandages in hand and flinched when she saw the wings suddenly open, but she soon calmed down and began to wrap the bandages around his wings until they were covered, but they weren't to tight for him to bend them," thank you Astrid," Hiccup said as he rolled onto his stomach and looked at her with a smile," your welcome Hiccup, now go to sleep, I have to wake up early tomorrow."

Hiccup nodded and rested his head in his arms while he looked out the window, he wanted to go home and be with his mother at least try and tell her that he was okay. The brown haired boy sighed before closing his eyes and falling asleep, dreaming of flying with his friends and nuzzling into his mothers warmth.

Hiccup was awakened by the sound of a bed creaking, he opened one eye and watched as Astrid put on some form of armor and some boots then walked out of the room.

The half dragon wanted to follow her but he couldn't go out the front door, he'd be spotted and killed in an instant. He looked at the window and grinned when an idea came to his head, he slowly opened the window and squeezed through, his claws digging into the roof as he climbed down and hid as he silently followed behind Astrid.

He stopped when he came to a caged arena where Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Fishlegs, and some man he's never seen before standing there," so Gobber, what are we learning about today?" Astrid asked ," ooo, eager aren't we Astrid," Gobber said with a laugh but the laugh died out and a serious atmosphere filled the arena.

Gobber walked over to a lever and put on a fire proof mark before pulling it and a door opened revealing an angry monstrous nightmare that was screeching. Hiccup knew they probably thought the dragon was angry, but it was actually scared he didn't want to be there, it wanted to be free and join the rest of the flock.

Hiccup let out a screech that gained everyone's attention; the nightmare climbed onto the metal fencing keeping the dragon from escaping and looked at the boy with a look of confusion and happiness," I'm so glad to see you again Hookfang, everyone's been worried about you," Hiccup began to speak in the language of dragons," I've wanted to escape but it's very difficult, so tell me what you're doing here Hiccup?"

" I injured my wings, once they heal we'll go back home, I promise," Hiccup reached through he chains and sighed happily when he felt the warmth of the nightmare against his cheek.

The teens and Gobber looked with wide eyes when they saw Hiccup talking with the dragon.

Hiccup managed to slip his body through one of the bigger gaps in the arena and wrap his arms and legs around the dragons neck. Hookfang made some sort of purring sound and crawled to ground where the humans were and laid down with his head still raised so he wouldn't crush the boy.

" Hiccup, why are you out here?" Astrid asked, watching the boy let go of the dragon and turn toward her," I heard you leave and I wanted to see where you were going," Hiccup explained," Get back to the house now!" Astrid shouted angrily; Hookfang took this as a threat and growled standing on its hind legs and opening it's wings to look bigger.

" Hookfang calm down, she isn't going to hurt me," Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Astrid looked in confusion when they heard the boy speaking to the dragon, whatever he said it calmed the dragon down and dropped back down, not before glaring at Astrid.

" Can you all explain to me who this is?"

All the teens flinched when they heard Gobbers voice," it looks like a new species of dragon," he said getting close only for the spines on Hiccups back and tail to come out as he growled and backed away, smelling the scent of dragon blood on him.

" This is Hiccup, he wouldn't hurt anyone we promise," Fishlegs said," it's still a dragon and we can't let it live," Gobber said beginning approach the boy.

" Quick, Hiccup get out of here!"

Astrid opened the entrance to the arena and Hiccup ran in the direction and once he got outside, he desperately tried to flap his wings but couldn't take off so he ran toward the forest until he felt himself get tired.

Hiccup was just wandering randomly until he came a rock blocking his path and he sat down, pulling his knees to his chest, suddenly, he saw a gap in the rocks and stood, walking through the gap, climbing over rocks and sliding down until he came to a little cavern surrounded by rocks with a pond filled with fish.

He jumped down landed on the grass, he walked over to the water and crouched down to lap at the liquid, not noticing the dark figure that was sneaking up behind him until he heard a low growl that caused him to look up and turn around to see a large black dragon.

" Y-You're a Night Fury aren't you?" The black dragon stopped growling and sniffed the boy before backing away siting in front of the boy," I am a Night Fury, but what are you, you look like a human yet you have the scent of a Monstrous Nightmare."

" Mother said I was a abandoned human and she turned me into what I am," Hiccup explained," well that explains a lot," the Night Fury said," why are you here, you look perfectly fine, shouldn't you be with your flock," Hiccup stated," I do want to go back home, but to fly there takes much to long, about three moons," the black dragon explained," and why are you here? It's dangerous for you to be here."

Hiccup showed the dragon his bandaged wings," they got cut up when I was trying to escape with my flock," Hiccup said," if you want them to heal, you shouldn't wrap them in anything," the dragon used it's claws to cut off the bandages," thank you...um, what is your name?"

" My names to Toothless, and your name is?" Toothless stated," I'm Hiccup," the brown haired boy said with a smile," well Hiccup, you canst at here if you want, no one knows of this place and there's plenty of food," Toothless said," thanks, it'll be easier to stay here instead of hiding in the village," Hiccup said as he used his claws to climb up to a ledge and began getting branches off the ground to build a nest.

Once his nest was fully made he breathed fire on the wood and sighed contently as the flames kept him warm and he closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

Toothless flew up to the sleeping boy and whispered," sleep well," watching the boys tail wrap around himself as Toothless flew back to the ground looking up to see a Nightmare fly across the sky, obviously searching for Hiccup. It won't be to long before the entire flock comes searching for him, Nightmares don't like it when one of their young are taken from them.
