You Name This Chapter

I was covered in bruises and scratches by the end of the day. We had flown into rocks, into the water, trees, even a cave. All of those had created the marks on my body and arms. My legs, thank the gods, were not as bad as the rest of me. I had cleaned up at the cove and pretty much all of my scratches were hardly noticeable. I walked to the forge, the tail fin and saddle secretly out of sight. Thankfully, there were hardly any villagers outside.

The earlier experiences told me that I needed something to keep me on the saddle. A harness would do nicely. I just needed to figure out how to make one. Maybe I just needed a few leather straps, a buckle and some metal hooks to keep them together because I was so tired of sewing.

I was so caught up in my thoughts, I didn't even notice when I bumped into the one person I was frustrated at: Ashter. Our heads bonked against each other and we both fell to the ground. The tail fin flew out of my hands and luckily in to Gobber. Where did all these people come from? Oh, you know what... I don't wanna know. I started seeing stars for a brief moment. I rubbed the bruised spot on my head and Ashter did the same. I heard Gobber laughing quietly. I scowled at him.

"You seem to get into the most awkward situations, lassie," he told me. I rolled my eyes as he walked away, carrying the prosthetic tail fin and the saddle with him. I looked up and locked eyes with Ashter. He blushed violently and dashed away. I stared after him, confused. That was not usual for him.

Alrighty then... I'm just gonna go work on the saddle now, I thought as I watched Ashter dash inside his house. I stood up and brushed all the dirt off of my tunic. Then I turned on my heel and made my way to the forge where Gobber was talking to the other teens. Oh brilliant. I watched as Tuffnut handed his weapon to Gobber. So did Ruffnut and Fishlegs. I guessed I was fixing weapons tonight.

I started walking to him, dread filling within me. I was so hoping I could just start working on the harness but I may just have to help the others with their weapons which are undoubtedly damaged. I watched as Gobber lugged the tools into the forge.

"Need some help, Gobber?" I called, making him jump. He dumped the weapons onto the counter. He scowled as I walked into the forge. I threw my vest off and tied my apron on.

"Yeah, can you fix up their tools?" he asked me, handing me Fishleg's hammer. It was chipped on the grip and the top was singed and rusted and looked to be slightly bitten off, most likely by a dragon. You don't know these Vikings like I do. There is a slight chance someone may have bitten his hammer. No matter if it's metal or wood.

"Alright... no problem," I said as I further examine the hammer in the fire lighting. The head of the hammer seemed to be knocked off its original position as it looked horribly balanced. Then the handle looked terribly rough and not only hard to keep a grip, but also very rough and scratchy like someone had taken a dragon's paw with claws unsheathed to it.

"Maybe I can replace this one with a hammer from my back-up pile," I muttered as I walked to the side of the forge. "Just balance another one up, make sure it suits him and that should work." I threw the hammer in the scraps pile because it was far out of use for him, ignoring Fishlegs's protests. Then I went to the pile where I kept back-up weapons and pulled out a hammer similar to Fishleg's.

The metal, though, wasn't exactly suited for the hammer so I had to take the head off and heat it up. But before I did that I needed to get the fire going which took about five minutes. I voiced those thoughts to Fishlegs as I pumped the heat up.

"Any other weapons?" I asked, turning to them. Ruffnut nodded.

"Us," she said, holding up two swords which I guessed were their main weapons. I took the swords from her and put them on the table. The swords were horribly banged up. The blades had obvious scratches and kinks and it looked almost impossible to use in a fight. It was also flat out blunt. On the hilt, their names were inscribed in the wood with I'm guessing their own handwriting. I decided to experiment. I grabbed the handle of Ruffnut's sword and held it like I'm about to strike.

I took a small step back to make a good distance between the teens and myself. Then I lunged forward and stabbed the sword into the wall, causing the others to jump.

"Hali!" Gobber shouted.

"What?" I yelled back as I took the sword out of the wall.

"Give my students heart attacks why don't ya." He came up next to me just to thwack me on the head. I glared as he went back to doing... whatever he was doing.

I turned back to the gash I made in the wall. It went no farther than a few centimeters. I examined the blade. Then I turned to the twins. "What do you use these swords for?"

"We just use them to hit each other," Tuffnut stated. I rolled my eyes and tossed the sword on the counter. Figures.

"Once I'm done with Fishlegs's hammer, then I'll work on your swords," I said. "Anything else?" No one stepped up so I started to work on the hammer. I was very much aware of the others staring at me, but no one made a sound.

"Hali, what was that you did in training earlier?" Tuffnut asked. I almost dropped the hammer head in surprise.

"Um.. it wasn't really anything," I said as I tried to work on the hammer. "Just a little trick my mom told me about." My back burned slightly but stopped when I gave myself a small jerk. The birthmark burning thing was really starting to get annoying.

No one pushed the matter. I was surprised to see that even Snotlout had a little respect, almost sympathy, in her eyes.

"Hali... um... 'bout what I said before at Black Heart Bay," Snotlout stammered. "I – I'm sorry, alright? I was just trying to joke around, but I guess I got a little carried away." I stared at her in shock, as did the rest of us. Never in my life had I expected Snotlout to apologize, let alone in front of her friends.

I sighed. Snotlout hardly ever apologized and when she did, she meant it. "Don't worry about it." I took the hammer off the fire and dipped it in the water barrel. "No blood, no foul, right?" A couple of them laughed slightly. Even Snotlout looked like she was trying not to smile. Maybe she and I were getting on friendly terms. "And I'm sorry for flipping you off."

I took the hammer out of the barrel and placed it on the counter. "Hey Gobber!" I called.

"Yeah?" he asked and I heard a thump.

The teens looked a bit frightened. "Don't worry," I told them. "I betcha he's testing out the daggers." I then looked back to where Gobber was. "When is Johann getting here? He told me next time he visited he would bring me that extra strong metal."

"Patience, my young apprentice," Gobber said in a fake, old-man, wise-ish voice. I heard him cough for a moment and stifled a laugh. Every time he did that accent he would always end up hacking. Yet he did it anyway.

Gobber cleared his throat. "Johann will be here next month if I remember correctly. What exactly are you trading with him?"

"Just some things I found in the woods," I said, disassembling the two swords. I took another look at the hilts and blades and tossed them into the scraps pile. I then went over to where we kept the metal and wood. I looked around until I found a couple of blades that I had made a while back and attached to them were hilts, mahogany wood.

"Perfect," I mumbled as I walked back to the counter. I took my dagger from my belt and started carving the twins' names into the hilts. I put my dagger back in its sheath and grabbed the swords. I then gave them to the twins. "Try not to kill each other, alright?"

The two gave each other evil looks which almost worried me. I shook it off. I knew they would never go to the extreme of killing each other. I grabbed the hammer off the counter. I looked to where I tested out hammers. I readied myself and swung the hammer. It made a dent.

"Hah!" I laughed triumphantly. I turned and handed it to Fishlegs. He took it and looked amazed. "I believe it is balanced enough. Now go away! I have things to do." I shoved them out of the forge. I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. I was finally relaxed, until a dagger landed a few inches above my head.

I looked up at the dagger for a moment and paused. "Aah!" I screamed.

"Oops," Gobber said. I looked away from the dagger and he was standing right in front of me. "Sorry Hali." I grumbled unintelligibly as he took the dagger out of the wall.

"Meh," I muttered. I stood up, my back again burned, and I jerked my back – again. "Look, I need help making a harness." At Gobber's quizzical look, I added, "I need it to stay on the saddle without falling to my doom."

Gobber paused. "Alright." With that, we started on the harness which did not take as long as I thought. We were done in a matter of minutes. Gobber had allowed me to add my favorite locket to keep the harness together. After that I said goodbye to Gobber and went to my house where I crashed on my bed and fell asleep instantly.

As much as I'd like to say I slept peacefully throughout the night, I can't because I didn't. I was used to my dreams being bizarre, but this one was ridiculous. I was standing on a wooden boat that was docked at a large mountain. Toothless had wooden clamps around his body and the base of his head. Chains were attached to the clamps which kept Toothless to a wooden platform he was standing on. He also was muzzled which kept him from firing – or talking.

The boat was on fire and the heat was intensifying. I was wearing the harness I made and the sounds of war raged on behind me. The sounds were hard to identify because of the anger coursing through me. Whoever did this to my dragon would pay. He looked up at me.

"Hold on buddy," I told him. I grabbed the restraint and put my foot on the platform. I pulled the restraint off quickly. Then I grabbed a spear and was ready to cut the chains.

Toothless shook his head as soon as the restraint was off. "Hali get out of here!" he said with a hint of panic in his voice.

I stared at him. "What?" I set the spear down and put my hands on both sides of his head. I stared him right in the eye. "Toothless, I am not leaving you. I'm getting you out of here."

"You'll be killed!"

"You have more of a chance of being killed while you're trapped like this!" I countered. I gestured to the chains holding him to the wood.

"I..." he sighed. "Just promise me something." I nodded, waiting for him to continue. He leaned as forward as he could until he was almost nose-to-nose with me. "Don't you die on me."

I smiled softly at him. "I won't." I kissed the top of his head and I grabbed the spear, ready to undo the chains.

"And Hali..." Toothless said. I looked at him. "I love you." My heart nearly did a back-flip.

My smile grew. "I love you too, Toothless." I leaned over and kissed his muzzle. Then I started poking the spear at the base of the chains. I gave them a few stabs before they started giving away. I smirked, ready to stab at the chains a little more until something crashed into the boat. Something large and heavy. The force of it made the boat collapse and Toothless and I fell into the water, Toothless still chained.

"NO!" I screamed. I shot up in bed, panting heavily. There was no longer a blanket on me seeing as it was on the floor. I must have kicked it off. I just sat there, my mind and heart racing at a million miles per hour. That dream, it seemed so real. It couldn't have been. Sure my dreams were weird but they weren't visions.

However, I had to ask Toothless. I wanted to know what he thought. Maybe I was just paranoid but there was no harm in asking. He would know if something weird was happening to me. So I jumped out of bed and looked out the window. There was no sign of anyone outside. Good. I jumped out the window, which was probably a stupid thing to do, and landed on my feet with a slight shock going through them.

I ignored it and dashed to the woods, avoiding getting scratched by branches, tripping over loose roots, or getting hurt in general. It took me forever to get to the Cove though. I stopped at the top and looked for Toothless. I scanned the area until I saw him asleep by the little pond. He looked so peaceful and harmless yet he was so powerful and strong. It always made me wonder how cute he was and how fierce and protective he was.

But despite of him sleeping peacefully I had to wake him up. I needed to ask him for help. "Toothless!" I called. I climbed down the rocks and walked over to him. Apparently I needed my eyesight checked. He was not sleeping peacefully, but instead he was churning and growling in his sleep. He looked agitated and if not, fearful.

"Toothless!" I called a bit louder. He didn't wake up but he actually starting moving more, his movements becoming almost panicked.

I couldn't take it. I grasped his forearm and his eyes shot open. His movements were quick, like he was ready to kill something. I grunted as he pinned me to the ground, probably not even noticing he tackled anything. He looked around, this scared look in his eyes. The pressure started to increase as he calmed down a little, but he seemed nervous. Finally I felt like I couldn't feel my arms anymore.

"Toothless..." I said softly. His ears flattened and he looked down. His pupils dilated as he realized what was happening.

"Hali?" he asked, as if he wasn't sure if I was really there.

"Yeah, it's me," I told him gently. He moved his arms off of mine. He was shaken up, a little more than I was. He sat down and watched me intently. "You alright?" I sat down next to him.

"No, not really," he responded. He looked up at me. "I thought I lost you."

"What? Why would you lose me?" I stroked his head comfortingly.

"I guess I had a nightmare." He dropped his head onto his paws. I nudged him, encouraging him to tell me. "I was chained to this ship and you were trying to get me out and then a huge thing hit the ship and you were drowning and..." His voice trailed off. I was speechless. My dream was similar to his.

"Toothless... I had a dream that was like yours." I told him as much as I could about my dream. He looked at me.

"That's gotta be a coincidence," he said which I took as he didn't know why we had similar dreams. "I don't know. I'll talk to Risandera about it when she gets back. Maybe she'll have answers about it."

I watched as he transformed into a human with the clothes this time but without a flash. I looked at him with curiosity.

"Why did you change into human form?" I asked him. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me close to him.

"Because I can't do this as a dragon without crushing you," he explained. I'll admit, it was nice to be held like this. I relaxed and leaned back into him. We stayed like that just for a little while. I thought about what Toothless told me.

"I thought I lost you," he had said. We both thought we lost each other. But what could these dreams mean? No way they would come true. Dreams were dreams. Although that were true, I could feel Toothless shaking behind me. I turned around in his grip until I was facing him.

"You aren't going to lose me, you know," I told him, my hands on his arms. "I'm strong." I tried to say it in a convincing tone but even I couldn't believe it much.

Toothless smiled at me. "Yeah, I know. But you can't blame me for worrying." Then his expression turned nervous. He leaned towards me.

"Toothless..." I said as I stared into his eyes and he had a soft look that made me blush. He stopped, his face only centimeters from mine. His hands went up to my cheeks and he glanced at my lips and back into my eyes.

Oh gods, I thought as realization trickled into my mind. I had to bite back a smile when I knew what was going to happen. My heart started beating at a million miles per hour.

He only said three words, "You are mine," and he closed the distance, placing his lips on top of mine. My pulse raced and my eyes closed. Time seemed to slow down for me. It seemed like there was nothing else going on in the world. For once I felt like there were no burdens or troubles, I just knew that I was with Toothless.

But of course I knew I couldn't just sit there like a dead fish. So I kissed back and put my arms around his neck. This kind of tingle spread through me. It felt... unreal.

Then he pulled back, his hands still on my cheeks. I smiled at him and hugged him tightly. The burning on my back started again, but I ignored it. I just had my first kiss with the one I truly loved.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is why I wanted to have Toothless be able to turn into a human. I hope you enjoyed this extra long and fluffy chapter! Please fave, follow, and review! Thank you all! I bid thee a good day.
