Chapter 6: A Trail of Blood

-Toothless-

"Hiccup I swear you are slower as a dragon than a human" Toothless moaned.

"Just because I'm a dragon does not mean I'm better in any way! I'm still human on the inside, there is no change in here!" Hiccup said back slightly annoyed and tapping her head proving her point to Toothless.

Her mind may not have changed but everything else did... That's a rather large change to me. I can't look at Hiccup the same anymore, it's just different, him being a her... that was a little confusing.

"So, where do we start?" Hiccup asked dipping her head in and out of a small pond that they found when they had awoke.

"Start? I'm not sure, I guess... I'm truly not sure" Toothless said sitting on his hind end contemplating their predicament "I don't remember Barvarta telling me anything about where we needed to go"

Hiccup stopped dipping herself in the water and looked at Toothless in a dumbstruck stair "You don't know where to start... and you changed me into a dragon not knowing where to start!"

"I never turned you into anything remember. I just suggested it, that's all" Toothless said in a sassy tone.

"Well your suggestion is becoming a bigger excuse than before" Hiccup said sighing.

"Ok look, Barvarta said something about them being in trouble or something, and he asked me to help. It's obvious that he could not stop this threat to the dragons himself."

"A god... Not being able to do something? Ya I bet" Hiccup said sarcastically.

Toothless huffed and stuck his tongue out at Hiccup when she went down under the water. He watched her swim under the surface of the reflective pool, her body twisted and turned with ease and for a moment, Toothless thought Hiccup had done this before. He watched her intensely, deep down emotions swelled his heart, something about Hiccup always caused his heart to jump. Even when he was a human boy, he still had the same feelings, but now that Hiccup was a dragon and even a female one at that, Toothless's feelings where stronger than they ever where before. Not being able to hold his emotions in any longer, Toothless launching himself over the pond and landing next to Hiccup when she came out of the water. Splashing a wave of water on her pulling her back under the surface.

Hiccup yelped and gurgled the pond water, pushing back on Toothless to escape the wake he had made. Toothless jumped after and tackled her holding her down and rolling in the water with her. Hiccup struggled and pushed Toothless away as hard as she could but he was too strong for her and gave up. He wrapped his large paws around her sides and lifted her out of the water gasping for air. Hiccup was winded and took as much air in as she could stand. Toothless still held her in his arms and watched her as she started to breath normally.

"You know, your eyes... I never knew how beautiful they looked." Toothless said looking deep within her eyes.

Hiccup blushed deeply and looked down at his chest. Pulling her ears back, embarrassed.

"There not"

"How do you know? I'm the one looking into them" Toothless argued

Toothless slid his tongue down her head and past her ears. Pulling back he licked her nose and placed his head on hers. Hiccup shuddered and closed her eyes, her heart raced at the rush of emotions.

"What are you doing bud?" She asked

"Bud?" Toothless laughed deeply "You have not said that in so long I forgot about it." He pulled his tongue back and set his snout on Hiccups head purring like a cat. "I'm showing my affection, you know."

"I don't... I never knew that this is how you.. show affection. Well that's not entirely true you used to like me and nudge me a ton when I was human but"

Hiccup crooned and licked Toothless's neck. He moaned and pulled her closer wrapping his tail with hers. "I'm not sure what I'm doing Toothless"

Toothless moaned again as Hiccup touched his tongue to is tender spot at the base of his neck "Just let your emotions drive you" Toothless growled and pulled hiccups hips in close.

"Toothless, I don't know I-"

Hiccup was stunned, her limbs did not respond, she could not control her body. She fell limp in Toothless's arms. "Hiccup?" Toothless asked, nudging her. "If this is a game than it's a cute on-" Toothless lost all control and fell to the water's surface, all he could do was watch as his body floated on the water and Hiccup moved farther and farther away. He tried to scream for Hiccup but nothing came out, not even a peep could escape.

Toothless was immobilized, there was nothing he could do as he floated in the opposite direction of Hiccup. He could feel something pulling at him, pulling at his wings. He tried to pull back but nothing moved. The force grabbed his wings and pulled him to the ponds edge, dragging him on the shore.

Toothless's head lulled to the right and saw a face that he would never forget. It was dark, evil, and a shadow seemed to lurk around his body. Its eyes where bright yellow and glowed, lighting small futures of its face. Its skin was gray with no color, lifeless by the looks of it. It was tall, almost twice the size of Hiccup when he was human, and thin as a stick. As Toothless gazed at his attackers face, he could hardly see the smile on its face, dark read lips thin as paper. His heart fluttered and raced to a speed only found when he flew. Toothless remembered this emotion, as fear.

Toothless eyes fell back and he started to lose conciseness, right before he fell out of reality he could see Hiccup being dragged from the water and onto the shore opposite of him. He tried to scream for him but he could only feel the words come in his mind. With the smile of the strange being in his mind, Toothless was haunted with the dark red smile and yellow eyes.

-Hiccup-

Hiccups dreams where haunted, screams, death, blood. All filled her nose with a sick stench that made her gag. She shook wildly trying to escape the smell, then the images came into her mind. The sight of death, dragons and humans spread on the lone plane of a field. None of these bothered her as much then a single tree in the field, high to the top, was Toothless, stabbed through the chest and blood dripping from his lifeless limbs. Hiccup screamed in horror, her heart shattered into a million pieces and he closed his mind to everything around her and rejected the world.

Hiccup jerked her eyes open and flung herself forward, her head meeting with a metal cage. Falling backwards dazed, Hiccup shook her head to clear the haze. Everything was dark to her, and all she remembered was the last time she was with Toothless.

"Toothless!" She screamed, worry in her voice. There was no response.

"Toothless I swear if you did this, Gods you better not be playing with me Toothless!" She yelled, but the only thing that replied was an echo of her voice.

Think Hiccup think. I was with Toothless, he was holding me, I was really getting excited and a little aroused.. ok maybe not a little, a LOT! It felt so good to have him so close to me... NO! Think, what happened. I remember him holding me, and then... not being able to move, and we were floating away from each other, and then the... THAT FACE! THOSE EYES! Those things! I don't know what they were but if they hurt my Toothless I will rip their arms off and shove them down their throats!

"Now that's a little harsh, don't you think?" A smooth and eerie voice echoed through the room.

Hiccups eyes bolted wide with panic "Who are you!"

"O, no one of importance"

"How funny, tell me who you are now!"

"Why should I, you're in no position to be making demands, I was the one who captured you and all. I should be the one asking You questions."

Hiccup gave in and accepted the fact that she had no power in speech here.

"Then tell me what you want"

The eerie voice laughed a hardy low rumbling sound.

"I want nothing"

"Then why am I here!" Hiccup yelled.

The laugh sounded again.

"For my amusement, why else?"

"What sick mind made you think I am amusing?! And... How can you understand me... How did you know what I was thinking!"

"You already know that answer, deep down you have already put the puzzle pieces together. Think dragon, think hard. To spare your pathetic brain from hurting I will answer one of your questions, I can understand you, because I just can, there is no explanation that you need to know."

Well that's helpful Hiccup thought to herself.

"As it should be"

"Stop listening to my thoughts!" Hiccup said, a dull throbbing was pulsing in the back of his mind. The pain caused her vision to blur. Pushing her head between her paws, pressing the sides of her head together attempting to stop the pain.

"What are you doing!" Hiccup screamed, the pain now feeling like a knife had been stabbed in her gut, and someone was moving it around, still inside.

"Finding what I need to know"

"STOP! IT HURTS!" Hiccup screamed, the pain turning from a throb, to a high pitched ring.

The strange voice laughed long and hard at the pain it was causing Hiccup, it enjoyed the screams and the pain. It played with Hiccups mind for what seemed hours, and when it finally stopped, nothing seemed to work in her body. Again she felt helpless, the same feeling she had when she was taken. The only thing different, was that Toothless was nowhere to be seen.

-Toothless-

"What have you done to her!" Toothless said, low and with a hint of warning.

"Searching"

"For what! Tell me now!"

"Searching for why she is a dragon, why we can't harm her, and why we can't harm you!"

"I don't understand?" Toothless look confused.

The room was dark, and far in the distance Toothless could here screams. Who it was he had no idea, and he did not want to know.

"I swear if you hurt her!"

"Now why would we do that, I just told you that we could not hurt either of you! Is your race that stupid?"

Toothless growled in anger. "I don't care if you can't hurt her, I don't want you to even try to hurt her!"

"To late"

Toothless's anger raged and he could feel his inner self explode. He dashed forward running at the source of the voice, but he hit nothing. With all his anger he ran at the distant screaming. Deep down he had a sickening feeling that the screaming was from Hiccup. Step after step Toothless ran. A smooth liquid splashed at his feet. He stopped and looked at the floor, all he could see was blackness. Dipping his head down, Toothless took a deep sniff.

"Blood... Dragons Blood"
