Chapter 4

(Hiccup's POV)

I walked around the forest alone, in my disguised attire with my mask on, with Blazer and the other Nightfuries not far behind me in the shadows. Ya, I know what you all are thinking but here's the part that no one expects to hear: I'm the bait for the Viking. You all may not believe that I can handle combat after seven years, but trust me: after seven years of using parts of my anger against Berks biggest bullies that made my childhood a misery, it can get ya somewhere in life. So, I kept on walking until I heard a twig snap.

Immediately I went on guard by pulling out my bow and stringing an arrow into it before readying myself for an attack. I looked to my left and right while even the front and behind but found nothing. The foolish thing that I have ever done, was let my guard down because as soon as I lowered my bow, an intruder jumps out at me and pins me down onto the ground. Quickly, I discard my bow, as I fell, and grab for the sword but unfortunately, it was strapped behind my waist. I couldn't see who my attacker was due to the shadowing of his face but the sunlight did provide some details to see that it was a male human and a few years older than myself. He had muscles, blond hair that looked gold in the sunlight, and light blue eyes that brimmed out from the shadows within his face.

Struggling underneath my attacker, I glared at him before kicking my foot and peg leg onto his stomach which caused him to fall back away from me because of the strength I possessed. Quickly, I get up, pull out my sword before lighting it up in flames, and getting ready into a battle stance. "Who are you?" the male intruder asks as he takes out his axe and readies himself for an attack.

"Why should I answer to an enemy?" I snarl back at him, lowering my voice in disguise, before I run at him and jump over him while slashing my sword at him.

He dodges the sword and moves to my right while I land in a crouch before standing up and turning to face him with my sword raised. I growl angrily at him before running at him and was about to take him down but was tackled to the ground by someone else. My arms were pinned down by someone with black hair and maybe light blue or light grey eyes while the blue eyes man takes my sword, that flew out of my hand and landed on the ground a few feet away, off from the ground behind me. It's a trap! I though horrified to myself.

Quickly, knowing that the others might have machines to kidnap those that are with me, I kick out the black haired dude in the groin and push him off of me before standing up, grabbing my horn, from the right side of my waist, and blowing three times into it, giving them the order to retreat. Suddenly I was grabbed around the middle and the horn was snatched from my grasp. I struggle against my captors and watch as the others get away. "Shoot! They're getting away!" Blondie says in frustration.

"Not necessarily true. They might come back for this vigilante person," said a fat blonde guy as he came out from his hiding spot with the other two blonde twins not far behind him.

"Maybe, but we might also save our skins by taking this vigilante with us to Berk and have the queen torture him for information about the Nightfuries," Blondie said as he pointed my flaming sword towards me.

I spat out saliva at him and snarled, in a not disguised voice, "I would rather die than give your queen information about my clan!!"

Blondie wipes off the saliva and says "I would hit you but you just proved that you are possibly a girl. Removes the vigilante's mask so we can see who we are dealing against!"

The fat blonde hair guy, on my right, was complying to his demands and was about to remove my helmet-mask when I head-butted both him and the black haired guy in the head and slipped out from the black haired guys grasp. I then did a high front flip over Blondie and landed behind him. When that happened, my helmet-mask seemed to have been loosened because it fell off while I was in the air and landed right next to Blondie's feet. Strands of fallen auburn hair cascade down in front of my face before I look up at them with the strands in my eyes. I blow them back and shake them out of my eyes before glaring at their shocked faces. "F-f-585?" asks the chubby blonde hair dude in horror and shock.

"Who's 585? She was weak and is dead," I snarled at him while thinking I guess I haven't changed as much as I thought I had cause they sure as dragon's scales recognize me and remember my old name.

"But wait, if 585 is dead then how come you look so much like her?" Blondie asks confused before the black hair guy says in a smug tone, "Yah, even I would recognize my own cousin from far away if she came back from the dead."

It took me a moment to recognize them all in an instant. I reeled back in shock from them before standing up, and taking out two of my daggers to fight them. "Woah, how does she get all the cool stuff?" asks the blonde hair male twin/110 (Tuffnut).

"Yah, I'm straight up jealous of it," said the blonde hair female twin in agreement/111 (Ruffnut).

"If I ever mention Loki Day, do something painful with my nose," 110 said to his sister.

"Guys, really?" asks Blondie in an exasperated tone/183/Astro.

"Yah. (Snorts) Loki Day," 110 says in a muttering tone.

"Heard that," 111 said in a smug tone making an amusing smile appear on my face.

"NO!" 110 yells before 111 punches him hard in the nose making him fall to the ground and making me laugh while being amused at that.

"I'm fine," 110 said in assurance to anyone who cared, which I'm sure they didn't, before a roar sounded throughout the air.

Taking advantage of their distraction, I run to 183 and punch him hard in the stomach, making him let go of my sword and horn, before grabbing my stuff and running out into the forest. I take out my horn and let out a long blow into it to let the Nightfuries know where I'm at. Quickly, Blinker shoots down and grabs me by the shoulders before taking off into the air and heading in a different direction, far from our clan's location. She gently places me on a ledge of a mountain, to make them believe that our clan resides here, and lands beside me with the rest of the patrol, which consisted of Blazer, Windshear, Echostream, Blackshell, Treeslice, and Toothless, landing beside her.

Blackshell, Windshear, and Treeslice were of the Razorwhip species and were brothers and sister when they first hatched. When we found them, Windshear was hurt in a fight against a Typhoomerang to protect her siblings. After we helped them, we were able to take them into the clan to help Windshear recover from her wounds and help them be on their way if they wanted to leave. After a few days, they never wanted to leave since they had barely made it past their adult stage in being a dragon. So Blackwind allowed them to stay. Blackshell got his name because, well, his scales are black and his eyes are a light blue color, Treeslice got his name because with his brown scales and green eyes, he could easily blend into the trees and leaves, and take out any trees with one slice of his tail to block human enemies from entering, and Windshear got her name because she was the fastest Razorwhip ever and had silver scales all over with beautiful green eyes.

"Are you alright Hiccup? Did they hurt you my child?" Toothless asked frantically as he sniffed around me to check for injuries and fretted over me like the parent he is to me.

"I'm fine father. It's just I have a bump against the back of my head from head-butting that idiotic person of my cousin. Hopefully we lead them far away from the clan's location. Right now, let's just worry about the clan first then we can worry for my safety when we get back there at night," I reply in reassurance and smile at him warmly before wrapping my arms around him and hugging him at the neck with tears in my eyes.

"It's good to see that we got to you on time before they could do anything else to you sis. Let's just be glad that they didn't find out who you were," Blinker said with happiness while flicking her right ear, that held a beautiful blue flower that I gave her to match her happy personality, and smiling with her green eyes.

"Actually, they kind of recognized me as 585 but I told them that she was dead to try and convince them that I wasn't her but I think I did with my moves and the way I beat them up. But the point is, I haven't changed so much that they wouldn't recognize me as I hoped that they would. Apparently I've just changed enough to begin maturing as a woman but still haven't changed at all," I reply to them sadly.

"You have already changed in our eyes Hiccup. Remember when you used your eyes to survey how our enemies fought in battle before we came here seven years ago? That was you being yourself and earning our respect and love for you as a fellow warrior dragon of ours. Those people back on Berk have no idea what they are missing out on when they left you alone to Toothless's mercy. But the point is, you have grown a lot more than you think Hiccup and you have changed in ways that maybe even I wouldn't recognize you. Our clan have always been apart of your life as you have been apart of ours," Blazer said wisely.

"Wow, since when did mister Bigguy suddenly get so wise?" Blinker asked in a teasing tone making us all laugh a bit at that while Blazer looked at Blinker with mocked outrage.

"Since he first became mates with a beautiful Healing Nightfury," Blazer replied in a smug tone.

"Blazer, Blinker, that's enough. We need to get some rest if we want to pull off the rest of this plan to draw away the Viking enemies from our clans real location," I say to them all to stop this from going any further.

"She's right guys, I'll take the first watch to let you guys have some rest," my father said in agreement.

"Okay. I'll take the next one and by the time I'm is done with my watch, it should be nighttime and dark enough to allow us to head back to the clan," Windshear said volunteering herself to watch over us and protect us after Toothless.

We all agreed after that because we were all tired after a day's work. Toothless stood guard at the cave, while easily blending into the shadows of the rocks in front of him so that way he couldn't get shot at, while the rest of us cuddled around at the back of the cave to draw in our warmth from each other while Blinker wrapped her wings around me to protect me since I have been like an older sister to her since she was a small hatchling. We got along well as a family and Toothless took care of Blinker as his own as well since nothing much is spoke about her parents in the clan.

She has grown into an almost mature female Nightfury and has been able to go on hunts with the patrols and has been trying some fighting moves on her own while flying perfectly well on her own without someone to fly with her for long periods of time. I'm very proud of how Blinker turned out and glad of how things turned out with the clan and I'm hoping that things would stay out this way forever because we became more than a safe place for orphaned dragon species everywhere, we became a family. Smiling at that thought, I close my eyes and fall fast asleep as the Vikings head their way to our trap.
