The Stolen Heir

Chapter Thirteen

I Own Nothing

Hiccup's P.O.V

The days passed by with no problems, both me and the baby were strong enough to travel, but now it was time to leave the hunters island, something I had come to dread this cold fall morning. The bitter wind blew threw my hair while pull my white fur cloak tighter around my thin body, I was wear Viggo's favorite red dress with the open lace in the front in curved and hugged my hips lovingly. I could feel hungry eyes on my at all times, Viggo would glare back at who ever dared looked at me. I of course would blush at the sudden attention, still not used to being here, but we were leaving out to sea, Viggo said the trip would only take a few days, two being the least. That didn't make me feel any better, Ryker would be on the island, being one of the host for the auction.

The sky seemed a bit darker, the wind blew harder. The skirts of my dress started to blow away, then I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, I peeked over to see Viggo."Are you ready?" He asked me before I could nodded, we started to make our way to the docks, dragons were being loaded onto the ships, the one we were boarding on was a large dragon hunter ship, Viggo held me close as we got on, feeling my blood running cold stepping back on here again.

The last time I was on here...is when I was brought to be married. I didn't want to go I told myself, I didn't want to see any dragons get auction off, but the most part was not to face Ryker again, I knew what that man wanted, he wanted another round with me. He would try almost anything to get that chance, but Viggo wasn't stupid, his men would be on top of that, or so he told me, not letting Ryker have any passage to me.

The fresh salt water air filled my nose, I loved it, but art of it brought back memories, memories of me and Toothless...just flying away freely...but now all of that would soon be flashback of what my life used to be, one filled with hope and what innocents I had left. I wish I could have taken all of this back, I should have let Viggo kill me, I should be dead rotting out in the sea, but here I was...made a bride for one of my enemies.

Viggo and I stayed out for a bit, the midwife said I needed a little bit of fresh air, thank the gods I was outside for a change. But it didn't last too long before Viggo started to pull me away."Come on, I don't want you out in the cold too long." I sighed, damn it. At least I got a little bit of fresh air, Viggo started to pull me into his private chambers, the scent of lavender welcomed me, a hot bath would soon be drawn for me, but to pass the time Viggo decided to play maces and talons.

I wasn't much a fan of the game, but I did managed to beat him in a few rounds, I would let out a few small laughs even giving Viggo a small smile whenever he would praise me. But I was still holding back, I would turn my head away shyly, but he would just place his hand on knee, telling me it's okay. But none of this was okay, I shouldn't be falling for this man in the first place, he was the reason why I was stuck here, he is the reason why I'm pregnant in the first place.

But there was still a part of me with no regrets, it was the part of me that wanted this lust to last, I was craving his touches whenever we would lay down in our bed, feeling his fingers trace along my back, or him cupping my sex tenderly. The last few nights he was being more gentle, showing me he could be gentle with my body, unlike his brother when he barged in, taking me up against the wall, tears soaking my face while he tore me apart. I couldn't get over his dead cold eyes locking onto mine, forcing me to look at him, if it weren't for Viggo getting there on time, I might have losted the baby too. I wouldn't be able to process that, if I were to lose this baby...gods I couldn't bring myself to think about it.

After playing for a good hour, but I grew borde soon enough. We stopped playing and I decided to go to the bookshelf, one on dragons of course. Viggo took notice and would ask what I was reading, telling him what breed of dragons I was looking up."What are you looking at little dove?" He leaned over my shoulder, I was trying to get more information about the Skrill, Viggo was going to take me to the location after the auction was over, he wouldn't tell me what he was planning on doing with it.

"Looking more up about the Skrill." I said softly."I need to know what I'm getting myself into when you take me back." I've already dealt with that creature before, and it was not a great experience either. Maybe I could use this to escape, I couldn't take the chance with the midwife, I needed to do this by myself, no witnesses."I've dealt with it before, but it's still too dangerous." I have no idea how I was going to distract her, the Skrills weakness is going underwater, I didn't have Toothless with me, so what was I going to do.

"You'll figure it out." he kissed my brow."You always figure your way out of things." Yeah then maybe I would have escaped and get the hell away from you. I couldn't lash out, I had to try to keep myself together,keep my composer until I can make my second break.

The rest of the day went peacefully, finally having sometime for myself, Viggo would leave me for short periods of time, having his guards outside of my door. Making sure I had food and fresh water and whatever I needed to keep me at bay, I had plenty of books as well, I could have one of my maids draw me a hot bath, but I kept on read. I took three books with me to the large bed, pulling up the thick white fur covers to my chest flipping through the pages as I went on.

Hours must have passed by me, soon I grew hungry and fetched some fruits, along with aged cheese. I nibbled a little on each thing, taking a goblet of water to wash it all down, maybe it was a good time for a hot bath, I peeked through the door, both men looked at me with a glare, but I called for a servant, part of me felt a little bad, I didn't know who these poor girls were, I didn't know where they came from, let alone there name, I would just smile and thank them, since Viggo didn't want me getting too soft, only telling them they were slaves. I honestly didn't feel any difference between them and me, poor things probably get beat, raped and gods know what.

The young girl filled the large wooden tub with hot water, filled with lavender and mint. I smiled and thanked her, she only bowed and left me, I slowly undressed myself and threw my clothes to the side, taking my fake leg off and hopping in, I inhaled the fresh lavender, the mint hit me instantly. I grabbed a small rag, slowly scrubbing myself off, I wanted to smell nice, I wanted to have a hot bath all to myself this time, I didn't need Viggo watching me the entire time.

The steam was welcoming, causing my body to relax. Once I was done,i slipped my leg back on,then I slipped back into my dark red dress, I didn't know where my nightgowns were, Viggo did all the packing for me, packing my most revealing clothes, but he still gives me fur cloaks to keep my warm. I crawled right back into bed continuing from where I left off there wasn't much left on the Skrills. I sighed putting the book down and lighting a few more candles.

"Maybe it would be a good time to take a nap." I started to get back to bed, pulling the covers up to my head, resting my head on the fluffy pillows, adjusting my small body to get comfortable. I rest my hand on my flat stomach, soon in the coming months it would bulge, begin to show in the coming months. I really didn't know how to feel about it, I was little excited, yet scared of how this was going to turn out for me, I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes."How am I going to do this?" I whispered."How am I going to be a mother?" My hand never left my belly."What am I even going to do? I don't even know how to be a parent?" I said hopeless tone.

Within the next few hours I started to fall asleep.

My dreams were running wild again, because the next thing I knew, I was back on the island. I was in a field of dark blue flowers. The sweet scent was almost intoxicating to me, then I looked down and gasped."No." I whispered, my stomach had grown, looking at it with a look of shock, I looked almost nine months along, I put my hand on it, feeling the firmness of my belly, tracing my thing fingers along it, feeling strong heavy kicks. i wanted to wake up now, I regret going to sleep.

Then I heard a dark laugh."Good, your here." Viggo came walking over to me, giving me his dark smirk as he placed a protective hand on my stomach."Your due any day now my little dove." Just hearing that made my heart clench."Soon." He said."Soon you will be giving birth." I shook my head, no I wanted to tell him, I didn't want to give birth yet. I wasn't ready for this baby, let alone to raise it. He tilted my chin up, capturing my lips, I didn't even know where we were.

"I'm not ready for this." I whispered, feeling another strong kick inside of me, I could feel it moving more fiercely, letting me know it was almost time."I'm not ready for this baby Viggo, you know that." I pleaded with him, but he only shook his head at me.

"You made a promise to me." His voice got dark."You promised me."

"I promised I'd married you!" I lashed out, pulling away from him."Not getting me pregnant!" tears were starting to leak from my eyes."I don't know how to be a mother! My dad barely raised me and look how screwed up I turned out!" My yells echoed out."And now I'm stuck in this mess with you! I'm better off dead!" I screamed out, my voice was starting to get weak, I was soon out of breath."What the Hell do you not understand! I don't-" I gasped loudly, holding my stomach as a gush of water came out of me."Oh gods no!" I wailed.

"Your water just broke." I picked me up."Your going into labor."

"NO!" I wailed out even louder. Viggo only carried me out farther into the field, all that we were surrounded by was flowers and trees and an open grey sky, I wailed and cried out in pain as the contractions hit me like lightning, it was too much to handle, Viggo then set me out in the middle of the field, I reached out for his hand to grip, which I did tightly. Screaming out in pain, tears trailing down my pale face as Viggo spread my legs apart."It's time Hiccup, you need to push."

No it was too early to push, things like these take hours, why wasn't he taking me to the midwife? What was going on? None of this was right, but I didn't have a choice I had to start pushing, I gripped Viggo's hand while screaming on the top of my lungs."OH GODS!" I screamed, blood was soaking my inner thighs and Viggo's hands, he was looking intensely in between my legs."Push harder Hiccup." His voice could have cut through me like steel."There you go love, push!"

Ugh! Fuck I can't!" I screamed, tossing my head side to side, the only thing that caught me was the scent of the blue flowers, slowly turning red with my blood, I was getting weaker with each push, the more pushing I did, the more my world seem to go black. This was all too painful, both of my hands were digging into the soil, my nails buried into the dirt since Viggo's hands were occupied delivering the babe ripping out of me. Sweat was covering my entire body, soaking through my dress, all I could see was Viggo and my huge belly.

"Push."Viggo commanded."Give me the strong heir I created with you, don't disappoint me Hiccup."His voice was no longer kind, only filled with venom."You're almost there just a few more strong pushes." I lifted my head up, letting out more screams as the pain kept coming, Viggo didn't stop with the commands, bringing life into the world was more painful then it seemed, all I could smell was blood, my blood. I then felt the head ripping out of me, it was almost out, but my body was getting weaker by the minute. I took another deep breath, trying to calm myself, but this was taking forever, the pain was unbaralne so I did the only thing I could.

"PUSH!" Viggo yelled as I did it one last time.

Soon I heard the wails, not from me, but from the newborn sprawled out in Viggo's arms, it was so tiny and red but it was crying at least so that was a good sign."It's a boy."Viggo said proudly. A weak smile etched across my face, Viggo wrapped the small thing in a blanket."M..my baby." I said one last time before my vision started to blur. My little boy, I wanted to hold him in my arms, but I was going to get that chance."Hiccup!" Viggo pulled me up, the baby was wailing out for me, reaching for my chest for milk."Stay with me." He gripped my hand.

It was over, it was finally over, no more pain and suffering, my baby was alive, that was all I wanted. Blood was soaking through me."Take good care of him...love...love him please."

"Hiccup you can't die, you promised me!" His voice was still angry, but he didn't want to lose me.

"I gave you...what...you wanted." I looked down at the babe one last time."Take good care of him." I didn't want to leave my son alone in this world, but I was dying from the birth, I was going to be free from Viggo, but I didn't want to leave my baby. My world spinned for a few minutes before my body finally gave in, succumbing to the blood loss.

"NO!" I woke up from my nightmare.

I was in Viggo's chambers still, all alone with no Viggo in sight of me. I put both of my hands in front of my face, I couldn't hold back the tears this time, I started to sob uncontrollably. Gods help me, this baby was going to be the end of me, I died or in my nightmare I did, I didn't want my child to grow up motherless, let alone with Viggo as it's only parent. I didn't want my child to suffer the same fate as I did years ago.

In my nightmare, I gave birth to a healthy boy, I couldn't even remember what he even looked like when Viggo held him. None of it was real, but was I really going to die...like that? No, no I refused to come to that fate, I was going to make it through this, I wasn't going to die. I sniffled and wiped my tears away, laying back down but refusing to back to sleep. Soon I heard my chamber door opening, I flinched when I first heard this but hid under the covers for a few minutes, feeling a gentle hand tracing up the blankets.

The person didn't say anything to me, just crawling into bed next to me, wrapping their arms around me softly. Soon I made my body slowly turn over, Viggo was looking at me with worried eyes."Are you alight?" he said softly, running a hand down my face."My men heard you screaming, was it another nightmare?" I nodded, he pulled me closer to his chest without asking, soothing me."It's alright, everything is alright little dove."

"I thought I was dead." I whispered."I died giving birth, you watched me die." My voice trembled, his hand traveled up my hair, running through it tenderly.

"Shhh." He kissed my brow."I'm right here, I have the best midwives, they'll take care of you, just like I will for you and our baby." I gripped him a little tighter, inhaling his musky scent, burying my face into his neck, letting a few tears hit his skin, we stayed like this for the rest of the night, Viggo eventually undressed me, letting me sleep naked with his warm body pressed against mine, it was peaceful the entire night, it made me feel good, just his skin against mine calmed me down.

I was scared to fall back asleep, but eventually my body gave in, sleep came a bit easier this time with Viggo with me. He stayed with me, not leave me until we reached the island, once we finally got there I didn't see Ryker yet, it was like my entire body was on the look out for him, but Viggo kept telling me not worry about it.

The island was hidden, most of the auction would take place underground in secret tunnels, I was led away by Viggo, going to one of his secret hideouts, along with a small army of guards and my midwife. I was calm for the moment, I clinged onto my husband, letting him take the lead. I was wear a dark grey dress with my tradition dark grey cloak, wearing more warmer clothes since the weather was taking a change, Viggo was wearing a long black sleeve tunic, along with his long jewel sword on his back, I clinged onto him, taking me to the dragon skin tent.

Viggo smirked when we entered, there was a table with maps sprawled out, dragon bones and skulls everywhere. I hated seeing all these dragon bones, it made my heart sink, making my stomach sick. Viggo sat down at the table, giving me a chair to sit next to him, making me look somewhat important.

Then another person entered the tent, I reached for Viggo's hand, grabbing it tightly.

Ryker entered, looking at us both darkly."You two finally made it." He looked at me with lust."I was starting to think you wouldn't show up brother." Viggo sighed in frustration and looked at his brother with anger.

"Is it all ready for tonight? And has our special guest arrived yet?." His dark eyes never left his brothers, I could feel the tension in the air,I looked down at the ground, wrapping an arm around my waist, just wanting Ryker to leave already.

"He hasn't arrived yet." Ryker said darkly."But once he gets here I'll let you know." I could feel his eyes on me.

"Good, now leave us, now." He wanted to protest but decided to leave finally, I could finally breathe again. Viggo rested a gentle hand on my knee, giving me a soft smile."It's alright, no need to worry so much, I have some of my best man here, no one else is aloud in here but us."

"I know." I whispered to him."How much longer until the auction starts?"

"In a few hours, probably not until tonight, you can rest in here, I can have a small bed set up for you if you want?" I shook my head, I wasn't tired yet. I just wanted to be on Viggo's side, never leaving it until we are off this island.

"I'm fine Viggo, I'm not tired yet." Please don't leave me alone, the moment you leave me alone it will give Ryker the chance to hurt me again. I held hi hand tight."I just don't want you to leave me again." I sound like a frighten child, but Viggo pushed my hair away from my face.

"I'm not leaving your side." He said sternly."I'm not taking that chance with you."

Before I could saying anything else Ryker reappeared in the tent, Viggo pulled away from me.

"He's here Viggo, our special buyer has arrived."
