Another Nightfury {toothless X Reader}

A Win?? Or A Loss

(location: drako's base)

I sat in the cave, looking around at the many added details to the cave.

It's been a week and after the first 2 days it got quite boring. Most days were the same. You'd see drako once a day because he would check on dragons to see wich ones were broken from the captivity.

I noticed that cages around me were slowly being emptied and the days became lonelier and I..... Well, I became lonelier. I ate less, I curled up most of the time, sleeping through the days.

The days.... Yes... The days..... The days grew darker, the ground felt colder and life here seemed almost dead. The smell of death and despair was in the air, and it made you gag, it was disgusting in more ways than there are possible.

The only spark of light that I had was Laura. She would come to me every day, and every day she grew more sad, she became worried for my health, both mental and physical.

The last days were nearing, tbe last days I'd spend in this cell. I was finnaly broken, but I was broken too much.

I Couldn't move, I barely ate and the depression became worse and worse. Laura had been removed from checking up on me....i hadn't seen her for weeks, I would always cry at night, hoping she would return..... My howling would move throughout the caverns, making even the guards feel bad.

At first the guards hated the noise, thinking I wanted attention, but they soon realized they were cries of desperation.... And as they continued, the guards felt that every cry was worse than the other.

These last days would be the final days, I would either die, or I would live to serve him, the man I fear so greatly, the man..... The man who breaks us all.

(location: Dragon's edge)

It had been weeks since mignight had dissappeared, and the gang..... Well, they searched everywhere and nowhere. But After the first week they had to declare midnight missing.

Hiccup didn't want to give up on finding midnight, but they had other matters to attend to.

Toothless was not himself at all..... None of the dragons were. Even though they had only known midnight for a small amount of time, they had already formed a strong bond with her.

Meatlug would always lay in the place where midnight had slept that night fishlegs took her in. She would think about how accepting midnight was, how happy she felt around her.

~time: noon~

"what do we do.... I can't give up on her but she's nowhere to be found...." hiccup said to the gang who stood around him, he felt helpless, he felt the way he was before they befriended dragons, helpless, weak, and pathetic.

"we have one last option hiccup..... It's my cousin... She's a skilled tracker.... She.... She could find her" Astrid speaks up, putting the proposal out there for everyone to vote.

"it's worth a shot hiccup.... We have to find her.... We just have to.... Meatlug isn't herself, none of our dragon's are" fishlegs says with a hint of desperation.

"OK, we'll give her a shot..... We ride for berk, right now" he says with a strong determination in his voice. He gets up and calls for toothless as the others call for their own dragons. They had never seen hiccup like this, so they wouldn't question him, they would simply follow.

(half a day later)

The gang had traveled a long way to see berk come into view, with it's magnificent signature statues in the sea and the beautiful town up on the Cliffside.

The gang ascended to the centre of berk and immediately headed for Astrid's house. People around them asked things, told them things but almost everything was ignored by hiccup, even his father.

Fishlegs looked around and just told them that they had to hurry because they were out of time. It sounded like they were in distress wich they were and that they needed to do what they had to do before they could talk to others.

Stoick was amazed by the determination he saw one hiccup's face as he passed the buff man. He reached for his arm "son. What's wrong?" he said with a soft voice, but hiccup brushed past him to the house and entered, calling for amber.

Astrid and the twins joined him while the others were outside and explained the situation the best they could.

Amber rushed down the stairs and ran to the twins, hugging them tightly "oh my thor guys, I've missed you so much" she said before she looked up into their eyes. Her smile dissappeared and turned into a worried look.

Even the twins were serious at this point. "amber, we need your help......" hiccup said, and Astrid took over.

"we lost someone very close to us.... We need to find her, and you're the only one with enough skills to find her.... We need your help" Astrid asked hopefully.

"i... I'll help, I'll need something with her smell on it and I need details of her." she said as she took out a notebook.

After an hour of writing down details and getting a cloth with her scent on it, they were finnaly done and she was ready.

"i will find her, I promise you that" amber said as she placed a hand on hiccup's shoulder and looked him in the eyes before she turned to Astrid and the twins and hugged them.

She whistled for her dragon, a windgnasher named skye. As skye landed she slowly held out the cloth for skye to sniff.

Skye took in the scent of midnight and sniffed around, looking up and down into every direction before she caught the scent. It was faint and smelt of death.

She turned to amber with a bit of a sad look. Amber quickly mounted her "let's go, we'll need to be fast girl" she said and glanced at everyone one last time before she took off.

Once she was gone, hiccup turned to his father.  Stoick told everyone to go home while he took hiccup home and made him a warm cup of soup.

Hiccup began to explain what happened once he had his soup and leaned against his father who sat next to him. As he finished the story he sighed and looked down, snuggling against his dad for comfort.

Stoick wrapped his arms around his son and thought about what his son told him, although his son was his main priority now.

"it's alright hiccup.... It's going to be alright" he said while hiccup began to slowly doze off. Not only was his dad very soothing, he was also very tired, he had been up for so long, he needed the rest,.... He deserved the rest.

They had found a way to find midnight... But was there anything left to save, was this a win or a loss.....

All the houses slowly lit up with light as night time aprouched and left in the haddock's house were father and son, bonding once more in a way that is only seen in the movies...... The only way thsy can make us readers and watchers cry.....
