Erin devastatedly sat on her bed, hands over her face. She felt worried for her best friend, hoping and wishing that this was just some nightmare and that she'd wake up soon. A knock on the door caught her attention and Astrid walked in, a concerned look on her face.
"Hey, Erin." She greeted, sitting next to the short-haired girl. Astrid wrapped an arm around her girlfriend, pulling her close. "We will find Katie and save her. I promise you, no harm will come to her." The two sat in silence. Erin lifted her head before kissing Astrid sweetly. The blonde female responded. They pulled back, gripping each other's hands.
"I'm just really worried for my friend." Erin muttered, shrugging slightly. "I mean, Dagur could be doing anything to her. Oh God, if he's starving or hurting her I will kill him. What if he's forcing her to..." Erin stopped herself, letting go of Astrid's hands to clench her fists. "No, I shouldn't think that. What sick person would make an underaged girl do... that? But we are talking about Dagur the Deranged." Erin shook her head quickly. She rested her forehead against Astrid's shoulder, her worried state tiring her out quickly. Astrid ran her fingers through Erin's hair slowly, humming quietly in thought.
"I bet he wouldn't have gotten that far. If he even tries, Katie's strong enough to stop him from doing anything that bad." Astrid comforted. "Let's just get some rest and we'll continue planning tomorrow with Hiccup and Stoick." Erin nodded and Astrid got up before heading out of the room, shutting the door behind her. Erin rested against her bed, shutting her eyes.
The next morning, Hiccup was awake at the crack of dawn and immediately dove out the house with Toothless, heading towards the Great Hall. He entered through the doors and made his way towards the table where plans were scattered across the surface. He looked it over, becoming desperate as he realised they weren't getting anywhere with this planning. Hiccup ran his fingers through his shaggy auburn hair, trying to calm himself despite the fact that they So far had no plan perfect enough to ensure Katie's safety which was very frustrating. He groaned, the palm of his hand slapping against his forehead, slowly dragging it down his face.
"Thor, we've got to come up with something perfect! We have to save her!" Hiccup muttered. Toothless looked at him, also worried for Katie as much as he was. Hiccup then gripped at his hair, clearly worried for his girlfriend. All he could really do was think of many ideas while awaiting for everyone to join him. Toothless warmed up the hall, blasting the wood in the middle to keep his master and friend warm. Hiccup muttered his thanks, sighing. He would rescue Katie soon, he promised. He wouldn't let Dagur just use her like this. She didn't deserve that, she deserved to be treated so much better.
Katie stared up at the roof of her cell, unable to rest with so many thoughts going through her head. She missed Hiccup so much, she just wished to be sleeping in his arms. Sadly, that wasn't the case. She was miles away on a ship as a prisoner, only needed to help train Elektra. What would they do to her once Elektra was trained and fully grown? Would they kill her? Katie shut her eyes, trying not to think about that.
"If they do... I hope Hiccup's the last one I see. I've heard that the last thing a person sees before dying is photographed in their mind and it's what they see for all eternity." Katie murmured to herself, wrapping her arms around her cold body. She grabbed the blanket and curled under it, Hiccup's face flashing into her mind. She missed him. Opening her mouth, she quietly sung a song from one of her favourite childhood movies.
If I could break this spell, I'd run to him today
And somehow I know he's on his way to me
Darling, you and I were meant to be
Far longer than forever
I'll hold you in my heart
It's almost like you're here with me
Although we're far apart
Far longer than forever
As constant as a star
I close my eyes and I am where you are
As sure as the dawn brings the sunrise
We've an unshakable bond
Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond
Far longer than forever (far longer than forever)
I swear that I'll be true (I swear that I'll be true)
I've made an everlasting vow to find a way to you
Far longer than forever
Like no love ever known
And with your love I'll never be alone
Far longer than forever
Much stronger than forever
And with your love I'll never be alone
Katie sighed, relaxing finally. She grew a longing, a longing to hear Hiccup sing. Maybe she could teach him that song, then she wouldn't sing it alone like normal. Her eyes opened and she smiled slightly. Katie swore that she would sing it to him and teach him to sing it with her. A tear soaked the scratchy pillow beneath her head.
"Yes, I will. And I'll hug you and kiss you and never let you go."
Weeks passed and Katie was ready to give up. She felt like they just weren't coming to get her so she was close to accepting it. Elektra seemed to know she was upset and had even gone against the Berserker's wishes and cuddled up to Katie to comfort her. Even Dagur had noticed the change in her attitude, hoping she would end up forgetting Hiccup and stay with him and him alone. He tried to drop hints, very heavy hints but Katie was either too dense or was ignoring them. Knowing her, she definitely wasn't stupid and just didn't want his affections. This made Dagur an angry chief. She still loved Hiccup, not him. He wanted her to love him. Only him and that was it. No Hiccup, no Berk, just him. To have her as his goddess.
"Why doesn't she like me? What does that damned Hiccup have that I don't?!" Dagur ranted to Savage, pacing back and forth angrily. "I mean, I am way better than that Hiccup, she's gotta love me! Only me, she should be mine!" Savage watched the man hiss, obviously mad that Hiccup had such a pretty and smart girl to love him. Dagur was jealous, bitten by the green-eyed monster. He cracked his knuckles, baring his teeth dangerously.
"I don't know, sir. She should be all over you. Maybe it's what Hiccup has that she loves? Maybe you just... have too much and it's a bad combination to her?" Savage suggested. Dagur glared at him for his stupid statement, shutting him up completely.
Katie stared at the cage Elektra was in. The cage was changed for a bigger one for the growing Skrill. She knew Katie was upset, waiting for Hiccup to come and rescue her and Elektra. Elektra crooned quietly, catching Katie's attention.
"Oh, sorry, 'Lektra." She murmured, reaching in and stroking her still young Dragon. Elektra purred a bit, nuzzling her hand. Katie appreciated her concern but she knew that she was going to be taken back to her cell soon. She decided to help her Skrill sleep by singing to her.
I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if You would listen
To a gypsy's prayer
Yes, I know I'm just an outcast
I shouldn't speak to You
Still I see Your face and wonder
Were You once an outcast too?
God help the outcasts
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
They don't find on earth
The lost and forgotten
They look to You still
God help the outcasts
Or nobody will
I ask for wealth, I ask for fame
I ask for glory to rise on my name
I ask for all I can possess
I ask for God and the angels to bless me
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
God help the outcasts
The poor and downtrod
I thought we all were
The children of God
I don't know if there's a reason
Why some are blessed, some not
Why the few You seem to favor
They fear us, flee us, try not to see us
God help the outcasts
The tattered, the torn
Seeking an answer
To why they were born
Winds of misfortune
Have blown them about
You made the outcasts
Don't cast them out
The poor and unlucky
The weak and the odd
I thought they all were
The children of God
Katie stared at the sleeping Dragon, pulling her hand back. She gasped when a hand grasped her shoulder and she quickly looked up to see Dagur with the same buff man behind him, ready to drag her back to the cell.
"You will sing for us later." Dagur demanded. Katie shook her head.
"No, I will not. That was just for Elektra so screw you." She snapped, glaring at him. She flinched slightly as his grip tightened. His eyes narrowed dangerously.
"That wasn't a request, Katie, dear. It was a command. You will sing for us. Unless you want us to hurt your Skrill." Dagur threatened. Katie's eyes widened and she looked towards Elektra. Clenching her teeth, Katie looked down at the floor in defeat.
"Fine." She muttered quietly. Dagur grinned in triumph. She looked like she was going to crack soon and Dagur couldn't wait to steal her from Hiccup completely. That was going to be a day for him to remember. Dagur's finger trailed under Katie's chin, making her head jerk up and her almost dull blue eyes stare at him, his grin widening sickeningly. He almost had her. She was so close to breaking and he was going to enjoy watching her hope shatter.

Sup! So, the songs are Far Longer Than Forever from The Swan Princess and God Help The Outcasts from Hunchback of Notre dame. Love those songs! Expect a couple more songs in the future, most likely Disney but I dunno.
