thought '...'

speaking "..."

Toothless points of view

It was well into the night and Halla still hadn't come back. I was beginning to panic, I hadn't even touched the second basket of fish I was so distressed.

'If that stupid girls gets herself killed I will never forgive her.' I thought, pacing the cove for what seemed like the thousand time today.

I was starting to get every irritated when suddenly I heard heavy footsteps. As they came closer at such a fast pace I knew that they weren't human, they were too heavy even to be a Vikings.

I got into a defensive position 'It has to be a dragon. Is it Vulfiend?' I wondered a growl escaping me. 'Or another one of the queens servants' I thought, my body getting tense.

However as I saw an outline of a Nightmare appearing over the cove, my worst nightmares were real. I had a fireball in my mouth ready to launch when I smelled it. It was Halla's scent. Panic and rage was battling within me. 'How dare Vulfiend take Halla' I thought rage starting to take over as I fired my fireball. The Nightmare dodged climbing into cove, just as I was about to lunge at the Nightmare. I heard Halla "Toothless no" she exclaimed running towards me.

"Its okay Toothless it's me…its's me" she said, standing in front of me. As I looked at her closely I could see tears in her eyes. I growled even more 'Vulfiend made her cry that bastard' I thought pushing Halla behind me.

That's when I heard a chuckle I looked up and the Nightmare was only a few feet away. However now I can tell that this Nightmare wasn't Vulfiend it was 'It can't be but it is its Herradura.'

She started to laugh at me "I know its been a long time Alastor, but I never thought you would actually attack me" she said, taking a step forward.

Herradura was my caretaker for as long as I could remember since coming into the queen's den. She never tried to be my mother, but she looked out for me. If it wasn't for her I would have lost myself along time ago. However Herradura went missing a while back most thought that the queen killed her. After all Herradura was not very obedient when it came to follow orders. If anyone thought of planning a revolt it was Herradura.

"Is that really you Herradura?" I asked refusing to move.

I could feel Halla shifting next to me and that's when I looked at Halla again she looked worried, "I'm sorry…I didn't…know where else…to…go and…and…she needed….help I couldn't just…leave her." Halla was upset that she was starting to gasp for air making it difficult to understand her. That's when I remembered her tear-stained face.

"What did you do to Halla?" I growled, turning my attention back to Herradura. However that doesn't mean that I missed Halla's flinch.

"Calm yourself Alastor your upsetting the girl even more than she already is." She states trying to walk over to Halla, but I pushed Halla back getting in a low crouch.

"Until I know what you did to Halla I wouldn't let you get close to her," I snarled.

Herradura paused for a moment taking me in until she nodded and walked to the other side of the cove, lying down. I straightened myself up and pushed Halla to the opposite side. I laid down and waited for Halla to follow suit, but she hesitated.

"Toothless are you mad at me" ask asked her voice barely above a whisper. I shook my head and cooed at her. After a moment she came to lie down next to me and I wrapped my tail around her. She turned to face me and I nudged her cheek.

She went to touch her cheek and finally noticed why I was upset. "Sorry Toothless I got overemotional again and started crying, but the Nightmare didn't do anything. I just" she furiously wiped her cheeks and eyes "I'm just causing problems again, but don't worry she didn't do anything." I rubbed her face again cooing to make sure that everything was really okay. She has this nasty quality of hiding things from people she cared about. She smiled and started to scratch me underneath my neck.

It wasn't long until Halla hand stopped scratching me. As I turned to look at her, I found her asleep. I curled around her a little tighter draping my wing as much as I could and still being comfortable. As I heard a chuckle I turned to look at Herradura who had a smile on her face.

Suddenly I felt embarrassed. "What?" I asked.

"You truly care for that human hatchling don't you?"

"Her name is Halla"

"Halla…hmm…I see so those goof were talking about her" suddenly she started to snarl. "Had I know that I would have maimed those two idiots myself?"

"Herradura what happened? How do you know Halla?"

"Your human there" "She isn't mine" I interrupted again feeling embarrassed, but she ignored me "the first time we meet was when she saved me from Vulfiend, she's the reason I'm a bloody mess instead of dead. The second time I meet her she was just passing by, but tonight…tonight she really shined Alastor. That girl is one of a kind."

'Tell me something I don't know' I thought, looking at Halla who was curled against me.

"Tonight she came to give us food and to treat our wounds"

"Ours?"

"I don't know if you remember her, but Venitha is here to"

I growled suddenly annoyed. Venitha was a strong, but she had a huge attitude on her. We used to compete for everything and I mean everything. When she went missing people just thought that Vikings killed her.

"I remember her"

"If it's any consolation" she starts probably remembering our rivalry "it seems even Halla has gained Venitha's approval." I wasn't sure how to take that so I did nothing, but listen. "You should have seen how she handled Venitha," she said chuckling, "She was stunned that any one let alone a human hatchling spoke to her like that. However as she was treating our wounds two Viking came, we hide the girl from them, but without realizing it they…" she stopped shaking her head.

"What did they do?" I asked feeling my anger increase.

"They blamed her for her mothers death claiming that life would be better had she died instead of her mother. They called her useless."

I growled my claws sinking into the earth. Halla even in her sleep must have sense me being upset because she started to pet my side. I looked at her worried that I woke her up, but she seemed in a daze before completely falling back asleep.

"Tell me Alastor did you know that this girl is the heir to the Viking clan."

I looked at Herradura as if she had sprouted another tail. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"That girl that is snuggling up to you and helped me and Venitha is the daughter to the chief, the man were questioning her ability to lead the Vikings they claimed that it would be chaos. And now that I know that this girl is the same girl I would have to agree"

I snapped my head towards her lip curled "What do you mean?"

"A girl that cares about saving dragons to lead a tribe full of dragon killing savages. How does that not end in chaos?" When it was put like that I couldn't help but agree. "The girl by any means is not useless, just misunderstood. She's definitely unique."

"Now Toothless" she says laughing a little at my nickname "how did you meet Halla?" I sighed and shifted Halla.

I told her everything that happened between Halla and I keeping some of the more personal stuff to myself "and now we are here."

Herradura just sat there listening never once interrupting. Sometimes her eye got wide or her mouth dropped as if to say something, but she stayed silent which I was very grateful.

"So you can't fly?" she said, looking at the sky her voice laced in sadness.

"Not at the moment"

"You really believe that Halla will be able to keep her promise."

"I do"

She looked at me and smiled "well if anyone can do it, its that girl."

"My thoughts exactly."
