Hiccup x Reader (Race To The Edge)

A Battle that has just Begun (Eps: Night of the Hunters pt. 1+2)

"Faster, girl!" You cheered as Nightshade happily ran through the forest. Your morning run was one of the best parts of the day. You held on as she jumped a crevasse and you laughed as it quickly disappeared behind you. 

Soon, she propelled herself forward as you both jumped over the cliff. She dove down toward the water and the wind whipped past both of you. She opened her wings at the last second and you cheered again. You hand brushed the water before she threw herself into some sharp turns, following the path of the canyon. 

You both landed on a small beach beside the river soon enough and she laid down, tucking her legs in and nuzzling you while making a happy churring sound. You smiled at her, petting the top of her head. "We should go on runs like that more often." You chuckled. She nodded in agreement. 

After a few moments of peace, you heard a loud sound coming from the beach nearby. You looked at Nightshade and she understood. You mounted her and you both went to see what had made the noise. You landed on the cliff above the beach. You saw ships there with weird markings on the sails.

"I've never seen those colors before. But I have seen that insignia. It was on the Reaper." Nightshade growled as you both thought the same thing. "Dragon Hunters. Come on, let's get closer and see what we can find out." Nightshade stealthily climbed down the cliff and you both ducked behind two big rocks. One of the dragons let out and angered roar.

"Quiet down, ya useless lizard!" One of the men shouted, banging on the cage. Nightshade growled.

"I know, girl. It's not right." He laughed as he taunted the dragon before another man shoved him against the cage.

"Just load'em up!"

"Yes, Ryker. Sorry, Ryker." He apologized. Ryker grinned at the dragon.

"Look at him. Powerful. Perfect. Remember, they're smarter than you." The Nightmare launched at them, but 'Ryker' pulled the man back and the Nightmare only got a bite of the cage. "But not me." He chuckled. Then, he started sniffing. You and Nightshade got back. You held your breath, hoping they wouldn't find you.

"And grab that Armor Blade!" 

"Nightshade!" You exclaimed. She took off and roared at the men that were now below you. "No! Back to the Edge, girl!"

"Archers! Loose!" Ryker order. Nightshade dodged them, but there were so many. You were too busy dodging to go anywhere. Nightshade got fed up and blasted them with her fire. A long streak of it went across the beach. Suddenly an arrow hit her neck. She roared and you shrieked as she started flapping desperately as if she had no control over herself. You fell off into the water. You looked around before racing to the surface. Luckily, there was some wood there you could hold on to. You saw her get dragged onto the ship in a net. You gasped.

"Nightshade!!" The ship left and you felt worry overtake you. "Don't worry, I'll get you back." You promised. You looked around, now seeing that you were in open water. "Once I find a way to get back..."

Hiccup's POV

*At sunset*

"Still no sign of 'em?" I turned as I heard Fishlegs. Toothless was beside me and my concerns were growing by the minute. "They're probably out exploring and lost track of time."

"She's never been gone all day like this. Not without telling someone." I replied.

"You remember when everyone thought she was missing because she'd been in her room all day doing artwork?"

"Yeah."

"Or the time she and Nightshade went for a midnight run and scared silent Sven in the woods?"
