Lilly's POV

"How could she just sneak away again?" Hiccup's voice echoed through the dimly lit hallway as we made our way to the staircase.

"Shh, be quiet we don't need to wake up the entire house." I spoke in a hushed tone and turned to Hiccup who followed me just wearing his tunic and pants and Toothless following on his heels.

"Sorry" he whispered now and moved closer to me, "just sayin', shouldn't she be with Shadow?"

I sighed and raised my arms in annoyance "We were asleep! I start to believe that this cheeky dragon just waits till our eyes are closed and off she goes..."

I could hear Toothless chuckle behind us and turned to glare at him. "You think that's funny!?"

The black dragon gave me a gummy smile and I could hear his amused voice in my head. "Hope's a baby dragon, she listens to no one. All she has in mind is to play and eat. Just like me when I was little."

"Are you not worried? Shadow is going crazy!" I scolded Toothless.

"Of course she is, she's a mother, but what harm could Hope possibly do?"

I came abruptly to a halt, causing Hiccup to almost knock me down and turned to Toothless giving him a stern look with arms crossed and an eyebrow raised. After a few seconds of that look Toothless sighed in realization. "Right... I'll go and help Shadow, you look for her with Hiccup."

"Deal!"  With that Toothless rushed down the stairs, leaving me and a puzzled looking Hiccup behind.

"What were you talking about?" Hiccup raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Rolling my eyes, I gestured to the direction where Toothless disappeared just a second ago and groaned. "He's not worried about Hope at all, he even thinks that it's funny."

Hiccup's lips curled upwards and he chuckled under his breath. "To be honest, it is Lilly."

What? Is he serious? She's a baby, Thor knows what could happen to her!

Putting my arms on my hips I glared at the auburn Viking and he immediately raised his arms in defense, his lips still held the hint of a grin though.

"Come on Lilly, she's just a little dragon. Surely she can't cause that much trouble."

"What if something happened to her?" I said unconvinced, at least the people on this island were just at the beginning of being dragon friendly. What if somebody hurt her?

Hiccup took my hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Don't worry, I'm sure Hope is somewhere around the house." Mesmerized by the kindness in his eyes I gave a small nod and together we made our way downstairs, looking into every room on our way for the little night fury but remained unsuccessful.

After a while we stopped at Viggo's office and the sight of the perfect mess that awaited us there caused me to gasp. The board of Maces and Talons that usually rested on the dark wooden desk lay on the floor, the figurines were scattered around the room but what was even worse was the huge amount of parchments flying around in the air, spreading across the office. I could see that some of them were even nibbled off or slightly burnt. The little troublemaker however, was nowhere to be found.

"Oh for the love of Thor!" Hiccup breathed out, running his hand through his hair.

I raised my hand to my forehead and let out a frustrated sigh. "Viggo is going to kill me! He had just finished sorting the documents. Oh when I get my hands on you, you little..."
