Pic above has nothing to do with the chapter. I did it for laughs
I woke up and smelled something cooking. "Dad, I don't need breakfast!" I said. Then I blinked. This wasn't my room, or my house! Then the events of last night played through my head. "Oh Thor, where am I?" I murmured. I crept out of bed and winced as pain shot through my arm. I heard growling and clicking in the next chamber. I looked around the room for a weapon. I spotted what looked like a sword hilt and grabbed it. I peeked around the corner. No one was in the main chamber. I gulped and walked out. There was another opening which led to a kitchen area. I took another step forward and I kicked a rock. I tensed. The growling stopped. I heard rustling and someone stepped out of the kitchen. "Who are you?" I asked. The kid, about 19, had a mask on so I couldn't see his face. He made grumbles and clicking noises from the back of his throat. I cocked my head. Did this kid not understand or speak Norse? (Author note, in last chapter Hiccup was using dragon language.) He cleared his throat and repeated the noise. "I don't understand, do you hear me? I. Don't. Understand. You!" I said. The kid snorted and said something else. Then a black dragon padded from the kitchen. I gasped and pressed a button on the sword. The blade sprang out and lit on fire. I squealed and dropped the sword. The dragon laughed. The kids growled something and picked up his sword. The blade retracted and he put it away. The dragon growled again and advanced forward. I fell back and crawled away. "Okay, I am stuck, in a cave, with a kid who doesn't understand a word I speak, and doesn't know Norse. I am being stalked by his pet dragon and its about to-" the dragon pounced on me, "kill me!" I said, my pitch rising.

The kid growled something and the dragon glanced at him and then at me. He huffed some steam onto my face and stalked off. "Thank you." I said. I looked down. "You're welcome." A sore voice said. It sounded like it hadn't been used in a long time. I looked up at the kid. He made more dragon noises before stopping and clearing his throat. "Sorry, I haven't spoken like this for a while." His voice cracked. I stood up and walked over to him. The dragon growled at me and I froze. "Easy bud." The kid calmed his dragon down. He walked closer to me. "Who are you?" I asked. The kid opened his mouth and cleared his throat again. "I can make you some tea to help with your throat." I said. The kid shook his head. "I don't need it thanks, I just need to use my voice more that's all. My name's-" the kid stopped and pondered something before answering. "Ryder, the name's Ryder." He held out a hand. I shook his hand. "Breepup." I said. Ryder nodded. "Let me find a cave for you and we can fix up that arm." He croaked. The dragon stalked off down through the kitchen, there must be a maze of caves down here. A few minutes later he came back and growled something to Ryder. Ryder responded and growled something to me and ran down the tunnels. He came back and chuckled. "Sorry, follow me." He said and we ran down the tunnels.

It opened up to a cave. "This place?" I said. It had no bed or anything. Ryder shrugged. "You're technically my prisoner but I can fix it up if you like. Don't worry I'm not one of those mean dungeon keepers." Ryder added. Great, a prisoner. I reluctantly shuffled into the cage. I noticed a bar door was above it and Ryder grabbed the door and pulled it down so that it locked into the floor. Toothless huffed something and Ryder glanced at me with guilty eyes. I sighed. I was stuck here in this dirty cell. I slumped over and closed my eyes. I was awoken a few seconds later. "We need to look at your arm." I heard Ryder say. I groaned and sat up. Ryder opened the door and he and his dragon walked in. "Why's he here." I gestured to the dragon. "Toothless is here because he can help you." Ryder stated. I scoffed. "A dragon! Help a Viking!" Yeah right." I said. Ryder placed a wet cloth on my shoulder. I winced. "Sorry." He grumbled. After Ryder gave me some soothing tea he motioned for Toothless to come over to my shoulder. "You won't feel any pain." Ryder said. He grumbled something to Toothless and Toothless huffed. Ryder tried the command again. Toothless groaned and rolled his eyes. His nose neared my shoulder and I closed my eyes and tensed. I felt something cool and rough brush against it. I laughed a little at the touch. Ryder smirked under his mask. "Ticklish?" He said. I shook my head. Ryder shrugged and Toothless licked the wound. Ryder bandaged it up and walked out of the cell. I heard Toothless roar something and Ryder replied. "Okay! I can't stop you!" He walked back and opened my cell door. Toothless walked in and Ryder shut the door. "What are you doing?" I cried. Ryder shrugged. "He won't hurt you." He said as he walked back to the kitchen. I glanced at Toothless and he gave me a smirk. I sat in a corner away from the beast. I don't care if he healed my shoulder, I wasn't getting close to him. "Breepup, he won't hurt you, I promise!" Ryder called. I glared out the door and Toothless warbled. I whipped my head back to him. He laughed and laid down. I was stuck in a cell, in a cave, with a Nightfury and a kid named Ryder.

Okay, so I was looking for pics for these chapters and I found these which look exactly like Ryder/Hiccup's expressions in a few chapters.

Here we have da smirk. Just without the paint.

This one for two reasons.
1. This is that smile.
2. OMG HE LOOKS SO CUTE AND HANDSOME!!! This was going to be my cover photo too.
