After Stoic had left the room, Hiccup glanced nervously around. Gothi shuffled over to the fire, setting her staff to lean against the wall.

"I think I'll rest here for the night. The storm will blow over soon."

Hiccup nodded before standing. She walked over to the door, nosing it open. Rain pelted against her snout and she squinted before trudging on. She left the hut and instead of heading towards the stables, her feet led her towards the forest. She was awake and right now she just needed some time to think.

The rain began to let up and soon it was a steady drizzle, the occasional lighting strike and thunder clap sounding in the distance. Hiccup found herself walking towards the cove. She could make out the rock slide they had caused not long ago so they could escape. Hiccup glanced around, suddenly feeling lonely in the dark. She carefully made her way into the cove, safely making it to the bottom.

Hiccup sat next to the pond, surrounded by complete darkness. If it had been any other time, when she had been human, she would have felt afraid. However, now that she was a dragon, that fear refused to confront her. Hiccup glanced down at the rippling waters, her reflection barely visible from the dark night. This was the place where she came to think. It was the only place where she could get away and just let her mind wonder. Sometimes that was a good thing.

She was dreading facing the village tomorrow and even more so, her father. Sure, Stoic may have had proof that Hiccup was indeed his dragon turned son, but that didn't mean he would accept it. Her father was a very stubborn man and it took great measures to change his mind about anything. It took everything she had to convince him that dragons were the same as them and meant no harm. He was a viking though and vikings were very weary when it came to change. They refused to accept it and it had been a miracle that they had welcomed the dragons into their home.

Hiccup sighed, staring at the water in deep thought. Drizzle fell from the heavens, sparring not even her from its cold and wet touch. Her father would surely tell the village of her status tomorrow. She was okay with that, she decided. Let them think what they want. As long as she had Toothless, everything would be okay.

Eventually, Hiccup decided to head back. When she reached the stables, the rain had ceased and the night was once again calm.

She carefully sneaked into the stables, trying hard not to wake her mate up. Sighing, she curled up next to him.

Her carefulness went to waste as the larger Night Fury had been awake the entire time. His eyes opened and his voice startled her. "Where did you go? You were gone for awhile."

Hiccup only snuggled closer. "I'll tell you in the morning." She hummed.

Toothless sighed before wrapping a wing around her. "Okay."

"I love you, Toothless." Hiccup murmured sleepily.

Toothless licked the top of her head and settled down. "I love you too, Hiccup."

"Barf?"

"Yes Belch?"

"Whack me in the head, but isn't that a female Night Fury?"

Toothless' eye twitched at the conversation happening a few feet away.

"Perhaps she would like to come over for tea!"

"But we don't drink tea."

"Oh ya! We don't."

"Barf. Belch. Would you two shut up? Some of us are trying to sleep over here." Toothless hissed quietly.

"Oh good, you're awake! Now you can introduce us to your girlfriend!"

"She's not my girlfriend." Toothless bit out, tail flicking in annoyance. "She's my mate and as you can see, she's sleeping. Now if you don't shut up, I'll kill you."

"Wow! You owe me half your fish Belch."

"I didn't think you'd settle down that quick!" Belch frowned.

"If you wake her, your death will be quick."

Barf and Belch shrank back. "Okay. We'll be quiet now."

"Too late." Hiccup murmured, stretching. "Hello Barf, Belch." She nodded to the zippleback before turning to her mate and nuzzling him. "Good morning, Toothless."

Toothless glared at the two headed dragon. "Time to die."

Sensing the killer aura leaking from the dragon, the Zappleback ran from the stables.

Shaking his head, Toothless stretched. "So where were you last night?"

"The Gods gave Gothi a dream and showed her that it was me. She came and got me to tell me that they had a plan that involved us somehow. Then she convinced my Dad that it was really me."

"A plan?"

Hiccup nodded. "We don't know what it is, only that somehow I'm involved."

Toothless sighed, nodding. "Alright. Let's get something to eat first."

"Okay."
