I'm sorry this took so long to update. And I know I didn't finish the Halloween Special. But...I figured because it is going on at the same time it would be better. I'll finish Halloween after about 2 regular chapters. I hope you enjoy this one. Now...It get's really interesting...*smirk*
Vennessa could finally move comfortably. For the past hour she had been lying with her eyes closed on the cold hard stone cage. The battle with the Flightmare still astounded her. How on Earth did they get a Flightmare? She sighed and stood up. Her wrists were still in the same shackles. But this time she was chained closer to the door. That was no coincidence. Vennessa shook her head in thought.
She scanned her surroundings looking for any guards.
"Hey! Hiccup! Can you move." Vennessa called across the cavern .
"Yes, a little. My neck and arms are still stiff but I'm slowly regaining movement." Hiccup called back.
"What's he got planned next is what we need to focus on." Vennessa told him. "What is he using us for? What are we going to be used for?"
"All I know is that for now we have to wait." Hiccup soothed the agitated girl.
"I hate waiting. But I suppose your right." She said.
"Hey! You! No talking I've told you that before." A guard called. Vennessa struggled to move away from the door but soon realized she wasn't the one they were talking to. A cry of pain rang out through the cavern. Vennessa squinted her eyes.
Across the river, three guards were standing at Hiccup's door. They were poking and prodding him with spears and swords. Blood was starting to drip down his back.
"Stop please stop!" He cried. The dripping blood was soon running down his body.
"Leave him alone. Just tell us what you want with us." Vennessa yelled. Her eyes were starting to well up with tears.
"Oh don't worry. You'll find out soon enough." Ryker told her coming up behind her. Her eyes widened as a cloth came over her mouth. She struggled but soon collapsed to the ground. Ryker unlocked the cage and her cuffs. He carried her out of the cavern. The last thing she heard was Hiccup's cries of pain.

Vennessa snapped open her eyes. Everything was pitch black. She struggled but leather straps were around her chest, wrists, and ankles. There was a metallic click and the straps were no longer around her. She leaped out of the chair before anything else could happen. She scanned around the room looking for any sign of light. It had to be the next day. Well next day since the Flightmare. She started to walk in one direction knowing that she should hit the wall. Vennessa started to count her steps trying to get her bearings. She called out listening to her voice echoing. She may have learned a few things from Flash. The sound continually echoed for about 30 seconds until it stopped. Great. She walked on and at over 1,000 steps reached a wall.
Suddenly her whole body was slammed against it. She fell to the ground and shook her head.
"Oh, Vennessa. I told you you would find out." Ryker laughed.
She stood up and charged at his voice. But she was net with nothing. Again, she was shoved to the ground. She swung at him but connected with nothing.
"How," she grunted, "Are you doing that?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?" He sneered.
She stood up again, and closed her eyes. She heard a fist come through the air at her. She ducked and grabbed the fist. But she didn't hear the kick. It sent her flying backward against the wall.
"AHHHH!" She screeched as a sickening crack filled the cavern. She dropped to the ground clutching her arm. Ryker laughed.
"Perfect." He said and took slow loud steps. She stood up and faced his oncoming footsteps. A loud sing came through the air. It was a sword. She barley had time to doge. But it came back at her too quick. The flat side hit the side of her face and she crashed to the ground. She fought her way back up.
"Still want more, I see." Ryker laughed again more manically. Suddenly, the hilt crashed down on her. She hit the ground with a smack. She tried to push herself back up but it was no use. She was too weak she realized. It had been days since she had eaten and it was draining her. But she managed to get into a sitting position.
"Oh how long I've waited for this moment." She heard the scratching sound of the sword on rock and saw sparks fly up. She slides back only to be met by the wall. She hears the sword get lifted above Ryker's head. It swings through the air making the cut in her stomach open up again this time deeper. She wanted to scream out but wouldn't know it would give Ryker sick satisfaction.
She tried to get up once again but her one arm wasn't strong enough. She felt blood seep down her stomach and drip onto the floor. Ryker laughed his sickening laugh. His foot slammed down onto her right ankle and another snap filled the room. This time she did. It echoed around and took a long number of seconds to stop.
"That is enough brother. We do not need her collapsing from pain. Help her back to the chair so I can have a nice chat with her," Viggo's voice said. She didn't know where he was, just that he was here. Ryker picked up her good arm and pulled her up. Her body was weak and her head just lolled to the side. She was roughly placed in the chair and her chest was rebound along with her good arm and legs.
"You may leave now Ryker." Viggo told his brother. She never heard a door open or close just Ryker's mumbling cut short. "Now Vennessa this can go easy or hard. It's either answer my questions and get help, or be stubborn and live in pain."
Vennessa closed her droopy eyes to thin k. She knew that revealing too much would have catastrophic effects. Her body started to relax but it was cut short with a slap across her face. She snapped open her eyes and shook her head dislodging the relaxation.
"No sleeping yet." Viggo smiled. Oh how Vennessa wished she could see him.
"On one condition. This goes for both Hiccup and I. Every answer I give allows help for both of us." Vennessa stated proudly.
"O.K." He replied. "First, where did you find that Night Fury? I know Hiccup found his by defeating a Red Death, quite impressive."
Vennessa replied simply, "He found me. I'm sure your father knew something about that."
"It can't be as simple as that." Viggo started plainly.
"Fla-He did. I washed up on shore and he protected me." She could tell Viggo was scowling.
"Where did you find him?" Viggo pushed.
"I-I don't remember. I was young and we didn't stay for very long. We had quit a few bad memories there." She told honestly. This time Viggo was thinking.
"Now, off of that subject. What do you know about 'Dragon's Edge'? Well defended or easily taken out? By-let's say- a couple of Night Furies?" He asked.
Vennessa sat up a little straighter. That last part was important somehow, but her tired mind and weak bleeding body wouldn't let her think. She wasn't going to answer this question. It was too secretive. He must know if she were lying or not. She held her mouth tight. She felt Viggo walk closer to her. His face was in hers now.
"Vennessa," he mused, "Don't forget our deal. You need help." Vennessa pulled back.
Suddenly a finger was against her stomach. Viggo pressed into it, hard. She screamed and writhed in pain, until the gashed made her pass out. The light's snapped on and Viggo cursed himself. He glanced back at the injured girl. I'll get answers from you yet. Just you wait Vennessa. Just you wait.
Well Vennessa sure is in a lot of pain. I'll update as soon as time permitts. Remember Review Follow Fav.
