1. How To Train Your Predacon (Book 1)

Chapter 17: The waiting game, Peace On Berk

They were able to get a ship to head back to Berk and Emily insisted that she take Hiccup back to Berk as quickly as possible and to Gothic on Ultra Magnus. Stoick agreed and let her take his son back to the village quickly. To say the least, the ones who stayed behind were a little scared and wary of a dragon in the village but when they heard the urgency in Emily's voice of needing to see Gothi quickly, she was sent to Gothi with Hiccup in her arms.

Gothi was able to help stabilize Hiccup while also telling Emily that his damaged leg is beyond repair and needs to be amputated. The next following days were of Emily staying by Hiccup's side while also helping the village get used to having dragons around with the rest of teens. There was an uproar on the first few days but the villagers are slowly adjusting to having dragons living among them.

It has nearly been almost a month since Hiccup and Toothless defeated the Red Death and the teen was still in a sleep induced coma. Toothless has never left his side not even to go out for fresh air and fish but Emily was able to get the stubborn dragon to eat and go outside for fresh air while she changed the bandages on Hiccup's leg. Gobber was able to make a prosthetic leg for Hiccup with Emily's help.

So now it's all just a waiting game for all of them as Toothless watches his rider rest. He prayed almost every day for his beloved rider to wake up soon. He misses having pets and scratches from him, especially the flight. His ears perked up when he heard a small noise from Hiccup and he sniffed his face and warbled excitedly when he saw his rider starting to open his eyes.

Hiccup opened his eyes slowly as his eyes adjusted to the light and couldn't help but smile tiredly at Toothless who was so excited and happy to see that he finally woke up as he couldn't help but nudge his cheek.

"Oh, hey, Toothless. I'm happy to see you too, buddy." Hiccup said with a small laugh but yelped when Toothless accidentally stepped on his privates and caused him to sit up instantly.

"OW!!!" He then blinked a little and rubbed his eyes.

Please for the love of Thor! Tell him he is not in his house! More importantly...

"What-- Uh, I'm in my house." Hiccup said in slight panic and surprise before turning to Toothless who was about to burst from energy.

"You're in my house! Uh... does my dad know you're in here?!" Toothless couldn't contain his joy from seeing and hearing his rider awake and talking that he knocked over a few stuff around the house.

Toothless then jumped on a support beam of the house and perched on it while Hiccup just couldn't help but panic and worry.

"Okay, okay-- no, Toothless! Aw, come on..." He pleaded but stopped when he felt that something was off.

He then lifted the blanket off his lower half and just gaped in shock and resignation. This was the price for going against a giant dragon and almost getting himself killed. Toothless jumped down and looked at him worriedly. He looked at Toothless with a sad smile before he slowly put his leg and prosthetic down. Toothless sniffed the fake one before looking up at his rider and couldn't help but feel sorry for him but Hiccup just smiled at him softly before taking a deep breath and using the legs of his bed to stand up.

"Okay... okay..." He was standing up and winced when pain flared up his leg.

He took another deep breath and attempted to walk but yelped in pain and was about to fall over but Toothless quickly caught him with his head as Hiccup used him as a support.

"Thanks, bud." Hiccup thanked him as he limped towards the door with Toothless helping him.

Hiccup was able to put most of the weight on his prosthetic leg and grabbed the door handle before opening the door and was greeted by a Monstrous Nightmare. He yelped in surprise and quickly closed the door as Toothless looked at him in confusion.
