Hey all, you may of read my ROTG stories, well, I decided to do something a little different, cuz I am a HUGE fan of HTTYD. I don't own any of the characters, except Raven and Koda. Let us begin...

EDIT- Hey everyone! Exponentially long time no see eh!? Well, I was going to write a new chap but then decided that I would instead go through this junk that I called a fanfiction and turn it into something actually WORTHY of the name. From 516 words to 1148 words! Enjoy...

Hiccup was 8 years old, the village was under attack and there was nothing Hiccup could do to help. He was just standing at his front door watching as the dragons destroyed the village. It had always been this way, always the same routine, the dragons would come at night, take the sheep, fish and livestock, kill a viking or two, and then fly away.

Hiccup was scared of dragons, they were noisy and breathed fire, not to mention their sharp as knives teeth and claws. And when he was hiding under his bed in his room he could swear their angry roars rattled the very foundations of his house, almost as if the house was scared as much as he was. This thought did not provide the young Haddock with much comfort. So instead of staying under his bed like a wuss, as his cousin had called him, Hiccup had decided to stand outside, he was merely two steps away from his front door but everything seemed so much worse when you actually saw it in the flesh.

One huge explosion later and a shock-wave caused Hiccup to be blown off his feet, he flew through the air before hitting his back off the ground and lay there for a moment, too stunned to scream or cry. Suddenly there was a monstrous nightmare above him, THAT snapped him out of it. Hiccup screamed in absolute terror and scrambled up, his fingers scrabbling for purchase on the loose stones, but he was shaking too much. This was much more scary than anything that had ever happened to him, he squeezed his moss green eyes shut and yelled for somebody, anybody to help him.

However, when he opened his eyes, it seemed no one had heard, the monstrous nightmare was right in front of his face and was about to incinerate the defenseless boy. Not that he would even resemble of boy for much longer if he was caught on the receiving end of those flames. Hiccup felt frozen to the spot, he couldn't do anything, not even move. He closed his eyes and waited for his fate, cursing his small size and wishing he had just stayed in his room instead of rushing out to prove to himself he was brave. He wasn't brave, and he certainly wasn't smart, otherwise he would have stayed under his bed instead of standing outside amidst the chaos and destruction.

He heard a huge smashing sound, a grunt and a roar of pain, he opened his eyes and saw his father Stoic, the chief, had just rammed the monstrous nightmare from the side and sent it into the side of the house.

"Dad!" yelled Hiccup, his wide innocent eyes were filled with fear, Stoic turned around and opened his mouth to yell at his son to get inside when there was suddenly a huge cry of "NIGHTFURY! GET DOWN!" Hiccup turned around just in time to see a burst of purple light and one of the wooden pillars come crashing down. Stoic beat off a terrible terror with his hammer and shouted for his son to get back inside the house before he got himself killed, but just as Stoic was leaving there was the familiar screaming of a nightfury's wings and a familiar terror-filled scream of "DADDY!"

Stoic spun round and saw Hiccup being carried off in the paws of a smallish pitch black dragon, Stoic's heart stopped. NO. He wouldn't lose another family member like this. Not to these BEASTS! Using all of his strength he threw his hammer as hard as he possibly could at the beast, however the dragon nimbly and easily dodged it, flying away, his son still trapped firmly in its grasp.

"HIIIICCCUP!" he roared in worry and helplessness. But it did nothing to make the mysterious dragon let go of the young viking boy.

Meanwhile five children were all looking out of a safe house window, Astrid, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Snotlout and Fishlegs had been told to stay and hide in there till the raid was over. This made Astrid mad but she knew when she got older she would be able to join in the carnage and defend her village alongside the other vikings. She was startled from her thoughts when Fishlegs suddenly spoke up

"Hey, wonder why Hiccup's not here. Wouldn't a viking have brought him by now?" he was obviously concerned and scared. More so for himself than the chief's son, but at least he cared enough to ask.

Snotlout and Tuffnut sniggered simultaneously,

"Why would we want that loser to be here?" sneered Tuffnut as he elbowed his sister in the stomach.

They all shrugged, except Astrid and Ruffnut, Astrid just smirked and Ruffnut was too busy punching her twin's face to properly answer him. Startling them all there was suddenly a very loud and high pitched cry of "DADDY!"

Tuffnut spoke up

"Did that voice sound familiar to anyone?"

There was a second before all of the 8 year olds ran out of the safe house and stood at the top of the tree clustered hill.

"WOAH that's a really cool dragon!" yelled Ruffnut not noticing the thing in it's paws, however, lucky for her, someone else did.

"What's it carrying?" Fishlegs asked loudly, drawing everyone's attention to him. And sure enough all of the other children saw that the dark dragon was indeed carrying something. However, it was Astrid who noticed what it was,

"Its carrying Hiccup!" she shouted in surprise and worry. She may of thought Hiccup was annoying and quiet but she didn't want him to be eaten or anything. The group of pre-teens realized that it was true. They watched as Stoic threw a hammer at it, watched as the dragon dodged it rather impressively, and they watched the nightfury carry Hiccup away into the night sky.

well, that's it, review and tell me what you thought of this. Darkwolfpup22 signing off. :)

EDIT - So... what do ya think? I believe it is considerably better than my first attempt wouldn't you agree? Now, review and enlighten me as what you make of the new style. Toodles Darlings! (Anyone who gets that reference gets a cookie :3)
