Never to be Separated

Chapter 1

"No! Leave him alone!" Hiccup was being held back by a couple of men and being forced to watch as a group of villagers tied up his best friend, Toothless and prepared to send him out to sea and away from the island for good. "It's not his fault that the lightning's attacking Berk!", Hiccup said trying desperately to reason with them as another bolt of lightning flashed across the storm gray sky. "You can't do this!" "Oh bah", spat Mildew un disgust. "Dragons are nothing but trouble, and that Night Fury is the worst of them all!," Mildew shouted as he pointed an accusatory finger at Toothless. Mildew glared at the Night Fury before turning to the group of men who had just tied up the poor dragon. "Send him away!", commanded the terrible old man. "Now!" Hiccup struggled to get free from the men as some of the other villagers prepared to send his best friend away forever. Unfortunately, no matter how much Hiccup struggled the men just wouldn't let him go. "Toothless!", yelled Hiccup as he continued to try and free himself. Toothless looked at him desperately as he tried to free himself from the wooden contraption he was tied to, as the villagers began to push him out to sea. The two men finally let Hiccup go as his best friend was pushed out into the sea. "Toothless", cried Hiccup. "No!" Hiccup ran as fast as he could to try and get to Toothless before he could float to far away. Toothless tried to free himself from his binds, but they were too strong for him and he was starting to get further and further from the island by the second. "Toothless!" , screamed Hiccup. Toothless whined sadly at the sight of his beloved human companion getting smaller and smaller the further he got from Berk. By the time Hiccup had finally reached the dock, it was too late. Toothless became nothing but a small black speck on the horizon. Hiccup's eyes began too water as his best friend disappeared into the distance. "Oh, Toothless", he whispered. "I'm so sorry."
