Chapter 7: Healing Part One: The First Steps
Probably within an hour later, Hiccup decided to leave the cove. Why? He said something about it being a surprise. A major part of me was eager to see him again, while a small part of me was shouting things like:
"It's a trap!"
"Don't fall for it!"
"Never trust a human!"
"Destroy him before he destroys you!"
I agreed completely with that small part. It wouldn't be very wise to let an insignificant human walk all over me. Destroying him would probably be the smartest and safest thing to do, but like I said before, I'm too ambitious and stubborn to end it now. I wanted to get to know him more, I wanted to find out more about humans, but most of all, I wanted to find out what that feeling was when he first touched me.
"Hey Toothless!" Oh, there he is right now! I rushed to the boy's side just as he enters through his small cave, my ears pricking up as I did so. "Look what I've got for ya!" he said, holding up a brown leather...instrument? Device? Gadget? What the tail is that thing? I sniffed this instrument, these questions going on through my mind.
"It's a saddle, bud!" he said, standing tall and proud of his instrument, holding it up.
'Oh no! You're not putting that thing on me!' I growl, stepping back from him to get to a safe distance.
"What is it, Toothless?" he asked, holding up his instrument. "It's not like it's gonna kill ya."
'Who said anything about killing me?' I grunt, giving him a playful look before darting off.
"Hey, get back here, you overgrown lizard!" he shouted, taking off after me as well. I gotta hand it to the kid, he was hella fast for a human his size, but I was much faster. "Don't make me force this on you!"
'Do it!' I challenged, increasing my speed. 'I'd like to see you try!' He chased me back and forth for quite a while, and I gotta admit, the kids got alot of stuff in him. He managed to keep up his pace in chasing me for a good thirty minutes! But that's not enough to outrun a dragon. Not much longer passed til he slowed down to halt, bending down to catch his breath.
"Aww come on, Toothless!" Hiccup whined, gasping for air. Oh my gods, could he get any funnier? I couldn't take it anymore as I burst out laughing, falling to the floor.
"Toothless! Watch out for that eel!" He gasped, eyes going as wide as leaves.
Okay, that caught my attention. 'WHERE??? WHERE???' I screetched, rapidly searching the area for any sign of eel.
"It's on your head!" Hiccup exclaimed again.
Wait. No. No, no no!! It can't be on my head! 'GET IT OFF!!! GET IT OFF!!!!' I was twirling rapidly now, quivering my head to knock this eel off my head. I scattered about the cove like a colony of frightened ants, scratching my head against random rocks to make sure I got rid of the damn thing.
If was even bothering to take the time to pay attention to my surroundings, I would've noticed that there wasn't really an eel on my head, that Hiccup was just loitering with me. I didn't get to realize that in time though, as there was a rock wall aiming directly at my head. Boom! Owww...seeing stars...seeing...Oh, look at the pretty colors-Nighty night, Mommy. Everything went pitch black.
"Toothless...Toothless...you okay, buddy?"
What?
"Toothless...wakey wakey, you clumsy dragon..."
I'm not clumsy, you idiot!
My eyes fluttered open, my vision appeared to be a melange of blue, green and brown. The brown came from a figure looming above me. "Yay! You're okay!" the figure spoke in a familiar voice. "Welcome back, you crazy reptile!"
As my vision finally focused itself, I myself lying on my back in a position that a Night Fury wouldn't usually sleep in. The brown figure looming above me was Hiccup, who was mounted on my chest. The blue and green colors appeared to be from the crystal clear sky and the leaves that hung from trees behind Hiccup's head. From here, Hiccup almost looked like an angel watching over me...
That is until I pushed him to the ground by turning my body over so I could walk.
He landed with a loud "Ooof!" and then he stared at me, as I was laughing at just how rediculous he looked. "What was that for?" he asked, giving me a playful smirk.
'Simple: Get. Off.' I replied, though it sounded more like grunts and growls.
"You stupid dragon, you!" With that, he gave me a punch in the shoulder, giving me a playful smile (that I'm actually starting to grow fond of). I smirked back at him, and less than two seconds later, he found himself being thrown by the waist into the lake. Stupid boy, you forget that I am a dragon.
He landed on his rear end with a giant splash. "Ow! Toothless!" he whined, shaking himself off. "What was that for?"
'You loiter with me, I kick your ass!' I grunted, chuckling. 'I don't think it could get any simpler than that.'
The boy sighed, rising to his feet, although rather slowly since his clothes were all wet. He was dripping boisterously, he didn't even bother to dry himself off before pulling himself onto my back. "Let's get this done, you stupid dragon." he said, clearly annoyed with me.
'Hey kid, show a little respect!' I growled, to show him that what he said was unacceptable. I am a Night Fury, king of the night! I deserved my respect, flightless or not! I can still fight; I can still blow deadly blasts of fire and make things explode.
The boy seemed to get the concept though. "Okay fine," he seemed to understand; he's smarter than I gave him credit for! "Let's fly, oh Great One!"
'Much better,' I implied, my voice coming out as a croon.
"Now take to the skies," he commanded, as I felt his confidence grow for a second before dying down to a minimum. He was scared that I would growl at him. "...Please?"
'Hiccup you are such a softie.' He was, really! Taking charge wasn't disrespectful! It proves how strong you really are! That's just one of the lessons I'm gonna have to teach him since I know he's gonna be coming here more often.
I spread my wings, shooting us into the sky. I checked on him to make sure he wasn't falling off. After all, he had nothing to hang on to but my ears (which hurt like hell by the way!). He was uneasily scared, as this is his first time we were truly flying. To be fair, I was scared too. If he falls, so do I.
"Okay bud, let's take this one step at a time," he said. "Let's fly over that lake, so we have something soft to land on in case we fall."
'You got it, kid.' Well there was the first lesson of the day. Always be straightforward. Don't stumble over stupid things because you're afraid the other person will judge you. Anyway, the wind blew under my wings, the current allowing me to glide over the lake. We stayed in the air for about three seconds before Hiccup did something with my tail, causing the extra weight on my tail to suddenly disappear. The result: we ended up in the lake.
Later on, like in the afternoon or so, we tried again. Only this time, Hiccup hooked himself onto the saddle so he could hang on. (No more clinging to my ears! Yay!) The wind current was strong enough, so I was able to take us into the air once again.
Okay, maybe the wind current was a little too strong. We fell out of the sky about five seconds later. But hey! Five seconds is better than three, and we even made it out of the canyon! What's even better is the type of grass we landed in.
KITTY GRASS!!!! Oh sweet kitty grass! Sweet sweet kitty grass! Oh how I missed you so! I couldn't help but roll and snuggle into the grass. It smelled so good! Like the smell of a thousand lavenders releasing their sweet gas into the air! It felt so good too! It was like a thousand tiny hands rubbing and scratching me all over! It was paradise!
Hiccup was looking at me as if I was the craziest dragon in the world. But did I care? Nope! This grass was the grass of Valhalla and I couldn't deny it.
"Uhh Toothless?" he calls to me.
I don't respond, just keep rolling in paradise. Ha!
"Toothless?" he asked again, stepping closer to me probably to observe. "Are you okay?"
Now I know what you are thinking; 'I thought you said Night Fury's do not woo hoo.' Well, my friends, there is a fine line between woo hoo-ing and enjoying the sweet sensation of paradise. Woo hoo-ing is what a hatchling would do. Enjoying paradise is for dragons of all ages, no matter what the species. 'Never better,' I purred in response to Hiccup's question.
"Toothless, can we fly no-AHHH!!!" He was unexpectedly interrupted when I reached out and pulled him close to my chest, wrapping him up in my arms and legs. His cheek was smashed tightly directly over my heart. His arms were pressed against his sides, as my arms were cacooned around his shoulders and lowerback. My legs were wrapped around his, keeping him from struggling. My chin was tucked on top of his head, protecting him from the sunlight. I nuzzled him, my purrs increasing in volumn. I honestly had no idea why I did this, but that kitty grass is one effective grass! One minute, the dragon would be furocious, ready to go for the kill. The next, he would be sniffing the kitty grass like no tomorrow.
"Toothless!" he squeaked, breathtaken in my strong hold.
'Yes?' I purr, tightening my arms around him as though he was my only source for life.
"I am not a teddy bear!"
Teddy bear? What the tail is that?
"Toothless! Can you let go now? I can't breathe!" he gasped, his voice muffled from being smashed up against me. There was an awkward silence, and I snapped out of it.
'Sorry,' I apologized, finally releasing from my hold.
Hiccup stumbled off me, standing up on his own two feet to gasp for air. No words could discribe this how rediculous he looked. Amusement overtook my body, and I burst out laughing at the spot. I couldn't control myself! A scene like this cannot be wasted! "Very funny you useless reptile," Hiccup rolled his eyes, but then he, too, fell victim to my laughter. (Yes, even Vikings have a sense of humor.) He collapsed on my belly, breaking into laughter.
Just then, the young boy gasped, freezing as though ice had imprisoned him. With his hands clutching onto his hair, eyes widened into leaves and mouth gaping, he looked like he had just seen a ghost. "Oh no! I'm late!"
Wait! What?
"I'm late! I gotta go! I'm sorry, Toothless! I'll be right back tomarrow. Promise!" He started off now, heading for that enterance of his. He stopped and turned to me, sending me a hopeful smile. "Promise!" he repeated, before disappearing into the hole. A few seconds of silence passed.
'Late for what?' I asked, mostly to myself. It only took one second to figure it out. Dragon Training. That had to be it.
Oh I sure hope he's okay.

Yes, I'm still alive, peoplez.
. Really liked it. I wish I could have my own night fury friend whom I can talk about my problems too xD. But of course, real life sometimes sucks in most cases
