"Hiccup!" Astrid called as she vaulted over the edge of the cove and miraculously landed on her feet.

Seeing the green eyes of the 'unholy offspring of lighting and death itself', Astrid sprinted over to the small boy next to them.

"Astrid!" The boy exclaimed turning around. "I didn't see you there!"

Astrid stared at the kit lying around the night fury.

"Leaving?" She asked.

"Aw come on Astrid! What can I do?! They will KILL Toothless!" Hiccup exclaimed.

"I know," she said simply.

Hiccup just gaped at her.

"That's why I'm coming with you!" She said as she climbed onto Toothless.

Knowing that he wouldn't win, Hiccup finished loading his stuff onto Toothless and climbed on.

"Let's go bud," he whispered and with that they launched into the air away from Berk and away from the possible death sentence for now they were classed as traitors.

They both failed to notice a lock if Astrid's hair caught on a branch in the cove or the fact that Hiccup's dagger was lying at the edge of the lake as if it had been dropped in battle or the shield lodged in the crevice which was the entrance or the large burned patches and scales scattered around the cove.

===the main village===

"Where's Hiccup?" Asked Fishlegs.

"Who cares!" Yelled Ruffnut.

"Good question my ugly companion, who does care?!" Exclaimed Tuffnut.

"Ummmm this is Hiccup's final test so probably a lot of people..." Said Fishlegs.

"Well no one cares where Astrid is!" Said Ruffnut.

"Yeah, no one!" Yelled Tuffnut.

"Astrid?" Asked Fishlegs.

"Oh my Thor where is Astrid!" Exclaimed Snotlout.

"What if something happened to both of them!" Worried Fishlegs.

"Nothing could happen to my cousin or Astrid!" Shouted Snotlout.

They continued arguing and fretting over the where about of the two teens when a booming voice came across the arena silencing everyone.

"Hiccup is gone! So is the Hofferson lass!" Stoick yelled. Gobber whispered something in his ear and Stoick continued. "Astrid and Hiccup are thought to have gone into the woods this morning but they never returned! Everyone is ordered to go and search for them!"

Everyone set off looking for the lost teenagers unaware of what they would find...

Hiccup and Astrid soared through the clouds chasing the wind and watching as the sun was replaced by the moon. Village after village, island after island zoomed by. The speed of the night fury was unmatched by anything. Seeing s relatively uninhabited island bar the odd wild dragon, Toothless landed and his weary riders clambered off his back.

Removing everything from Toothless' back bar his saddle, Hiccup beckoned Astrid over and they snuggled under the warm wings of the night fury. Too tired to be embarrassed by their close contact, the teenagers soon fell asleep in each other's arms.

Their much needed nap was cut short when a viscous squawk cut through the once peaceful night. Groggily Hiccup and Astrid clambered out from the warm space under Toothless' wings and turned only to stare, noswe to nose, at a Nadder.

Hiccup was about to see if he could befriend the young Nadder when Astrid suddenly cooed "Hey there pretty girl, we come in peace." The Nadder stared at Astrid.

"Easy girl it's ok, we won't hurt you," Astrid insisted. She then reached out with her right hand and turned away. This was it. Would the Nadder be a friend or a foe?

A scaly beak pressed against her palm and she gave a short sigh of relief. Hiccup gaped. Astrid Hofferson, Fearless Astrid Hofferson had just befriended a deadly Nadder.

"You have a name pretty girl?" Asked Astrid gently.

The Sapphire Nadder shook her head. "How about Stormfly then?" The Nadder tilted her head as if thinking about the name. She then came to a conclusion and nodded.

Astrid grinned and this time curled up and her dragon's wings and went to sleep whilst Hiccup went back to Toothless.

===the teens at Berk===

"This is hopeless!" Complained Ruffnut.

"A totally lost cause!" Added Tuffnut.

"Guys shush!" Whispered Fishlegs.

"Can we head back...please?" Asked Snotlout.

The teens shrugged their shoulders and headed back in the pitch Black Forest. Soon a fight broke out between the twins. They began kicking and punching each other until Tuffnut lost his footing and let out a startled yell as he vanished from sight.

The teens grew worried and couldn't quite see where he had gone despite the sun beginning to rise. Suddenly Fishlegs slipped and began sliding down this sort of rock thing, in desperation he bragged Snotlout's leg who then grabbed Ruffnut. Soon they all feel down and crashed into Tuffnut who then crashed into a shield.

"Isn't that-"

"Hiccups shield!"

"Fishy, stay there! We will get the chief!" Yelled Snotlout as he and the twins scrambled out of the entrance to the cove.

"Great, we stay up all night searching for Hiccup and Astrid and now I am alone in the woods. Great...just great" Fishlefs mumbled to himself.

===back with Hiccup and Astrid===

As the sun rose, so did the dragons and runaways.

"Well the bud, guess we need to find some logs then," said Hiccup.

"Logs?"

"Yeah, to build our house!" Exclaimed Hiccup.

Hiccup grabbed some paper from his back and a stick of charcoal and then began sketching out the new designs for the house. As soon as they were completed, the four got to work straight away.

Soon Fishlegs was no longer alone as he heard fast approaching footsteps. By now the sun had risen completely and Fishlegs could see that it was I fact the chief who was running as well as the Hoffersons, Gobber, the twins and Snotlout.

Seeing the shield the chief let out a low moan. "Hiccup!" He yelled. "HICCUP!" He yelled even louder.

He was about to yell again when something shiny and black caught his eye. He picked up the circular black disc. "A scale," he whispered.

"Woah awesome!"

"What is it sis?"

"I have no idea!"

"I want it!"

The twins began fighting over the scale when Stoick passed it to Fishlegs.

"Do you know what dragon this belonged to?"

"It's hard to say sir. Many dragons have black scales though none are completely black. But these scales are of a different thickness, weight and are stronger than any scale from any dragon we have seen. There is one possible dragon and I would imagine it would be all black but it's never been seen..." Fishlegs trailed off.

"What dragon would that be Fishlegs?" Stoick asked concerned.

"A night fury."

Everyone gasped and Stoick closed his eyes. 'Ok but I hit a night fury!' He really hit one? 'It went down just off Raven Point!' They were just past Raven Point.

"The lad actually hit it!" Exclaimed Gobber.

The teens were just in shock. Sure Hiccup had been a dragon killing expert towards the end of training but when he claimed he shit it down, he was USELESS!

Stoick removed the shield from the entrance and jumped onto the cove floor. He turned around and looked at one of the few trees in the cove and grabbed a lock of blonde hair from one of the branches. The Hoffersons gasped.

"Hiccup and Astrid must have gone to fight the night fury!" Shouted Snotlout. This was probably the smartest thing he had said in his life.

Further investigation revealed Hiccup's dagger and more scales. Stoick stared at the various burned patches.

"By the looks of things Hiccup went to find the night fury the evening before his final test and numbed into Astrid who followed him but they were both killed and taken by the night fury that Hiccup shot down in the raid..." Fishlegs said.

"Hiccup got the night fury then the night fury got him and Astrid..." Gobber said sadly.

Stoick dropped to his knees and cried along with the Hoffersons and Gobber. The remaining four teens just stood there in complete shock. How could this have happend?

===back to the runaways===

Hiccup and Astrid were working non stop along with their dragons. After the plans had been finished, they went and sought out wooden planks which they made from the many trees in the forest. Now they were slotting everything into place. The ground floor was done but they were currently working on the upper floor.

"A little higher bud...that's it...steady...done!"

"C'mon girl, we gotta finish our side before the boys!"

Stormy squawked in agreement and picked up her pace although keeping things calm and steady.

Soon the top floor was completed.

"Ha you loose!" Yelled Astrid.

"As if! Me and Toothless finished ages ago and have started working on the furniture!" Hiccup yelled back whilst Toothless stuck out his tongue.

They glared at each other until Hiccup said "but it was really close!" And turned away from the angry Astrid.

Then the sound of laughter was heard. It was a contagious sound that made everyone who heard it want to laugh. Soon Hiccup, Toothless and Stormfly were laughing with Astrid.

"What's so funny?" Hiccup managed to get out.

Astrid breathed in and out trying to stop her laughter.

"Your face! You thought I was -ha ha ha- actually mad!" She then broke down into hysterics.

Once again everyone was laughing out of control. Life on his Island was ALOT better than life on Berk.

===back to Berk===

Everyone gathered in the great hall and were shocked as they saw the tear stained face of their Mighty Chief Stoick The Vast. This man NEVER cried the only time he cried was when his wife had been taken by dragons. Things must be bad.

"I...I am sorry to...to tell you that...that Hiccup and Astrid are...are dead... They were...they were killed by...by a Night...Night Fury." The Cheif said before sitting down next to the crying Hoffersons.

Gobber stood up "Right then Hooligans! Two fine young Berkians have been taken by a dragon! Are we gonna forgive the bloody beasts that have caused such heart ache and loss?!" He bellowed.

"NO!" Yelled the Vikings.

"Are we gonna get revenge?!" Yelled Gobber

"YES!" Screamed the Vikings.

"As sad as it is, we must put it behind us. Yet we will not forget them, oh no, we shall get revenge for them! They wouldn't want us to mope around! They'd want us to kill the beast that took them!" Shouted Gobber.

Cheers went up around the hall as Stoick stood up.

"I agree with Gobber, so if we are to find this...Night Fury...we have to plan!"

More cheers went up.

"But they wouldn't want us to JUST kill the Night Fury, oh no, they will want us to kill EVERY single dragon! This will be for everyone who has been hurt, killed or lost someone to those bloody monsters!"

Everyone cheered and raised their mugs to that. They were moving on, and they were going to get their revenge...

So there it is. Chapter one. What do you think?
