Until I found You [Toothless x Lightfury]

[13] Long Live the Queen.

[TOOTHLESS'S POV]

We woke up early morning to talk about Quella becoming the Queen, and what we should do next. I believed that Quella would sell us to the Deadly Stinger and quickly brought up my concern.
Toothless: "Quella has never liked Luna, and doesn't care for me or Stormfly. I think she's gonna sell or trade us back to the Deadly Stinger and they'll attempt a round 2."
Stormfly sat up next.
Stormfly: "Think Toothless, you just scared him off. He's gonna wait a bit, rather to gain power or wait for a better opportunity. Publicly getting rid of you isn't an option for him."
I didn't think about that, but she was right. With this new "me", The Deadly Stinger has to take a smarter approach about this.
Luna: "So, what will he do?"
Stormfly: "I think there'll be a sneak attack, an ambush on our place at night. It won't happen right after Quella becomes queen because we'd be too on guard, they'd wait for the day we'd have our guard down, which would be-"
Valentine's Day! I got it!
Toothless: Valentine's Day! They'd attack us on Valentine's Day.
Stormfly: "Then we'll set up a trap, a bait. You and Luna can go on a date in an open field with flowers and trees all around. I'll hide nearby, and we'll ambush their ambush."
Luna: "What if you get caught?"
Stormfly: "I'll be fine!"
Luna: "This doesn't seem like a good idea, shouldn't we take them head on, without any chance of surprises? We could just pick a very open field with nowhere to hide instead."
I was a bit torn. A ambush on their sneak attack was risky but could give us the upper hand, while a direct engagement would be less risky but at the same time we don't know what we're up against, what if they've gotten stronger?
I decided to go with Stormfly's plan, I wasn't entirely confident about a direct engagement with the Lord of Dragons, despite my growth in strength.
Toothless: "I think a direct engagement is more likely to fail then an attempt at an ambush, what if they've gotten stronger and we just head straight in at a more powerful opponent?"
Luna: "Well, I suppose if you both think so then I'm outnumbered."
Stormfly: "We got two days until Valentines, let's check up on our new Queen."
We flew out the den and hid in tall bushes as we saw the Quella up ahead.
Quella: "Get me my new crown, and I want a royal gown!"
The dragons obediently got her a crown and a red royal gown.
Luna looked annoyed, so I wrapped my wing around her and smiled at her. She smiled back and looked like she wasn't annoyed anymore.
Success.
Stormfly: "Seems like she's just enjoying her new power."
Toothless: "We should spy on her when she enters her Den, she'll reveal more about what she plans to do."
Luna: "And if we get caught, Toothless?"
Toothless: "Then we will fight our way out. I won't let anything happen to you two."
Stormfly: "Speak for Luna, you know I'm independent."
Quella got up and had 2 dragons carry her to her den. We flew up and followed as we waited outside the entrance. There was a dragon guarding the entrance.
Luna: "How do we plan to get in?"
Stormfly: "We can rather brute force it, or we can try to knock him out silently."
I stretched my wings and walked up to the entrance, ignoring Stormfly and Luna calling out to me in whispers.
Guard: "Hey! Stop where-"
I hit him in the hard with my tail, knocking him out cold. I turned around and looked at Luna and Stormfly.
Toothless: "You two coming or what?"
That must've impressed Luna, surely.
Stormfly: "Maybe warn us before you do something like that?"
Toothless: "It worked."
Luna: "Focus you two, we need to get inside before we miss anything important."
...Guess not.
We all entered her Den quietly until we were close enough to hear a conversation between Quella and a Deathgripper.
Quella: "Now that I'm in my rightful position as queen, you can tell your boss I'll honor my side of our little arrangement."
Deathgripper: "So you'll assist with the attack?"
Quella: "Of course."
Deathgripper: "In that case I'll be taking my leave and letting the Lord of Dragons know."
Quella: "Why don't you stay a bit and keep me company? It can be boring here alone."
Deathgripper: "Uh... okay, only for a bit though."
We turned to each other and whispered.
Toothless: "So she'll be in on the attack"
Luna: "I can take her."
Stormfly: "Then we should be fine, but this was good to find out. Now, can we go before we get caught?"
Luna: "Agreed."
We flew out. Somehow today was a success. As I thought, The Hidden World was already preparing to sacrifice us three yet again. When we get home I go to my room and sit there and think to myself.
...Me being an Alpha should be amazing news. It means I can challenge the Lord of Dragons for his position, and means I can challenge his strength. But, what I'm so afraid of, what scares me,
...
What if I lose control over myself?
The Hidden World, Stormfly,
...Luna.
What happens if I lose control and hurt them?
Before I can continue thinking about my worries, Luna and Stormfly enter and both tackle me to the ground laughing.
I laugh back and ask:
Toothless: "What's going on here?"
Stormfly: "We just thought you could go a bit without being alone in here."
Luna: "My idea!"
Stormfly: "Shush, we both thought it!"
They giggled and I smiled at them. It was considerate of them.
Toothless: "So now that you're both here, what are we gonna do?"
They got off me and spoke at the same time with the same excitement.
Stormfly and Luna: "Fishing!"
I haven't ever fished with Luna and Stormfly at the same time before, guess it wouldn't hurt to.
