Hey there, so I got a new Chapter for you so I hope you enjoy it! Have fun!

Chapter 2

The great hall slowly filled with Vikings since their chief called a meeting. When everybody filled in, the doors were closed with a loud bang. Around a circular fireplace stood Stoick, looking over a map.

"Either we finish them, or they'll finish us! It's the only way we'll be rid of them! If we find the nest and destroy it, the dragons will leave. They'll find another home!" Stoicks says and plunges a knife into the map. "One more search before the ice sets in." he declares. One Viking points out, "Those ships never come back.". Stoick's only response was, "We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard. Now, who's with me?!" All surrounding Vikings mumble excuses not to go on this journey because they all know how dangerous it is.

The Chief straightens up and answers, "All right. Those who stay will look after Hiccup and clean up the messes he creates." Instantly all hands rose, voicing their agreement to go with him.

"You're gonna use your son like that?" asks Gobber angrily after the villagers leave. "At least then he will be useful for once. What else am I supposed to do with him?" Stoick replies, frustrated.

"Put him in Dragon training. He may learn a thing or two."

"He'll be killed before you even let the dragon out. Or he will endanger the live of the other recruits."

"You don't know that."

"Yes, I do. He can't do anything right. You know he always was like this, and I doubt that will change anytime soon."

"You always look at his mistakes, but you never even try to help him get better!"

"It just seems so hopeless..."

"You won't always be around to protect him, Stoick. He's probably out there again. Look, just let him try."

"But what if it doesn't get better? The village already asks for his banishment! If they see that he can't fight dragons, they want him gone. But maybe that's better for the tribe..."

"You can't seriously think about banishing him, can you?! Just let me try, please?"

"Fine, you can try, but if he doesn't manage to do good, I think it's best if he goes."

With that, Stoick stood and left an angry Gobber behind. 'If you do that, Stoick, it will be your biggest mistake.' Gobber went home to sleep so he can start training the recruits in the morning.

(With Hiccup)

Hiccup wanders through the forest, lost in his thoughts 'Why does everybody hate me? I never did anything wrong to them. Is it too much to ask to be treated like a person?' While lost in thoughts he, gets smacked in the face by a tree branch. "OW!" As he looks at the tree, he notices it is split down about 2 meters above the ground and has fallen over. Looking over to the fallen tree, he sees a deep trench going downhill like something big crashed.

Deciding to investigate, he goes down the hill and looks over a minor elevation. He jumps back down after seeing a dragon lying there. Slowly looking over it again, he notices it's not moving, so he pulls out his knife (Best weapon of choice in this scenario, right?) and tumbles down the hill behind a boulder. Creeping around it, he sees that the Nightfury is trapped in a bola. HIS bola! "Oh, I did it... I did it! YES! I have brought down this mighty beast!" Hiccup declares, putting a foot on the dragon's leg.

As the dragon shifts, he stumbles back and holds up his knife. Overlooking the dragon, he sees it is looking at him with hate, anger, sorrow, and, most importantly, fear. Trying to steel himself, Hiccup looks away and starts talking to himself.

"I'm going to... I will cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a Viking. I'm a VIKING!" lifting the knife; he starts breathing heavily. Looking one last time at the dragon, he sees something he knows well. Loneliness. 'Is the dragon just as lonely as I am? Is he not respected for his power?' Closing his eyes, he tries to put these thoughts away, but they keep coming.

The Nightfury closes his eyes and drops his head with defeat and acceptance. 'No way out of this. That's how I'm going to die. At least I won't have to be lonely and can join my family.' the dragon thought.

Hearing the dragon dropping its head was the last straw for Hiccup. He lowers the knife and looks at him with sadness, regret, and guilt. "I did this.." Looking at the bola, he comes to a decision. 'I must be suicidal. Well, maybe I am; it's not like I never thought about it. Here goes nothing.' with his mind made up, he starts cutting through the ropes.

The Nightfury snaps his eyes open as he hears ropes being cut, and the tightness around him fades. With the last rope cut, he jumps on the boy and pins him down against the boulder with his front paw. Looking into the eyes of the child, he can see the same loneliness he feels and the fear he just had mere seconds ago. When he saw that the boy accepted his faith, something inside him told him not to kill the Viking. So he decides to leave the child a warning by giving him an ear-deafening roar before flying off. Or, at least, try to fly off until he falls down into a cove.

Recovering from his shock, Hiccup looks after the Nightfury just after it sparred his life. Picking up his knife, he turns around and walks back home. But he faints after five steps and hits the ground with a small 'thumb'.

(At Stoicks House)

Walking through the front door, Hiccup looks up and sees his father sitting in a chair at the fireplace, stoking a bit into the fire. Deciding to avoid confronting his father, he tries to sneak upstairs without getting noticed. Unfortunately, his father hears him. "Hiccup." Said person stops and returns to stand before his father, avoiding eye contact.

"Son, it's time you prove your worth to the tribe. You will join dragon training tomorrow morning and will train and fight dragons. No more of your inventions. And if Gobber gives you an order, you will follow it, alright? I'm sick of running around cleaning up your mess. This is your final chance to show that you deserve to be on Berk." Stoick told his son with a commanding voice, leaving no room for arguments.

Hiccup looks slowly up at his father. "What do you mean final chance, Dad? Am I going to be put in the forge forever if I am not good enough?" he asks in a sad tone. Stoick looks at him sternly and says, "What I mean is that if you do not good enough, the village will command your banishment, reasoning that it will be better without you. And with how things look, I slowly start to think they are right.". Hiccup, shocked, looks at him "But dad..." but Stoicks cuts him off "No, son! This is your last chance, so you better don't disappoint. I will be back." Not waiting for an answer, the chief turns and leaves the house leaving a shocked and broken boy behind.

Hiccup walks up to his bedroom and thinks about what he's just been told. Lying in his bed, he thinks, 'They can't banish me just because I can't, no, won't fight dragons, can they? I need to talk to Gobber. Maybe he can help me prepare for banishment because we all know I won't be good at training.'

Turning around, he goes to sleep, but his last thoughts are on a certain Nifghtury in the woods, wondering if it would be still there tomorrow since it appeared to be injured. He may check it out after training.

So, there you go my next chapter. Hope you liked it! I don't know when the next chapter will come maybe tomorrow or not depends how my mood is. With that said, till we meet again!
