WOW! I really never thought I would get this far! You guys are so awesome! Maybe seven more chapters to go! :) YAY YAY YAY YAY! And then I can get started on "This...is Berk." Also: "This...is Berk" will be a one-shot series, and I REALLY need some suggestions on what to do for it! So, if you have any, tell me! :) Note: I can't do Sickfics or Deathfics, so please refrain from asking for those. I CAN, however, to Hurtfics (is that what you call them?) and Humor fics. :) I enjoy those both, too. Now, enough of me talking, and here's some shout outs:

snoopykid: Lol! I know, I felt AWFUL giving you guys this cliffhanger but...hey, it had to be done, or else it would be boring! :) Thanks for reviewing!

AnimeAngel: Well, I'm glad you like cliffhangers! I guess having me as your author, you kinda have to like them, and if you don't, you have to get used to them, lol! It's true, though, which is the sad part. :)

xFaerieValkyriex: Haha! Yeah, poor Hiccup. I don't know what I would do in his situation, either. But I guess you find out now, huh, in this chapter? :)

Other: Thanks to all who read!

Hiccup's POV

...threw the sword off to the side. Dagur looked up at Hiccup in shock as the blade clattered against the ground, still alight with fire. Upon hitting the ground, the trigger was bumped, causing the blade to retract.

Hiccup stood over Dagur, Dagur staring at the young Chief in disbelief. Hiccup had sweat dripping off his forehead, and he was breathing heavily from the battle...but why hadn't he killed Dagur?

It should have been easily; bring down the blade, kill the Berserker Chief, free his Mother, his dragon, her dragon, return to Berk, come back here, defeat the Berserkers...but he just didn't kill him.

Maybe it was because of how selfless Hiccup was. He couldn't bring himself to kill Toothless when they first met, and he couldn't bring himself to kill Dagur now. Only difference was, Dagur looked amused, not terrified out of his wits.

"I knew you couldn't do it," said Dagur. "Even when you had nothing to lose! You're a worthless weakling, Hiccup!"

Hiccup ignored him. Dagur stood up suddenly and kicked Hiccup in the stomach, sending him stumbling backwards. Dagur walked over to him and kicked him again.

"You'll regret this moment, Hiccup," said Dagur. "Maybe I'll let you live. Just let you suffer. After I kill your friends...your family...not to mention the nightmares that'll haunt you for the rest of your life."

Hiccup coughed as Dagur kicked him again. "At least...at least I HAVE a life!" Hiccup made out, earning another kick from Dagur.

"Runt," Dagur smirked. "Nothing but a worthless runt."

"Maybe," said Hiccup. "But at least I'm not a deranged, barbaric maniac!"

Dagur grabbed Hiccup's bad arm, making sure he grabbed the bad one, before yanking Hiccup to his feet. Hiccup nearly collapsed, his legs too weak to hold up his own body. He would have collapsed and curled into himself right on spot if Dagur hadn't been standing there...

...watching his every move...

"Get up," Dagur ordered. Hiccup's head swam as he was shoved back out the door by Dagur. He tripped and fell nearly four times on the short walk back, every time earning another harsh yank from Dagur on his bad arm, and an occasional kick.

He felt awful both physically and consciously. He felt like he had failed his entire island; not even being able to kill the enemy who so richly wanted to kill him.

Once they were back at the cell, Dagur unlocked the door, yanked it wide open, and tossed Hiccup inside. Hiccup started coughing immediately, choking on the dusty air of the prison he was in, trying not to breathe it, but at the same time, trying desperately to get the air back in his lungs. Hiccup was vaguely aware of someone catching him, speaking to him, calling him, but he couldn't make out the words. Everything sounded as though you were at the bottom of a swimming pool, trying to say the Periodic Table of elements in Chinese, had Hiccup known what Chinese was.

He knew Dagur was leaving, but before he left, he heard something clank on the floor, and then Dagur's voice speaking clearly in his head:

"I'll be back tomorrow to finish the job. Maybe by then you'll have changed your mind." Then, Hiccup was unconscious, just as fast as Dagur's torchlight vanished, leaving Hiccup in his cell...terrified, not on what had just took place, but what was yet to come in the future.
