~Somewhere else~
Nothing made sense to him anymore. At least he knew what was normal and what wasn't. Waking up in the dark was normal. Waking up in the dark with softness beneath you is normal. WIth a small candle by the bedside and the breathing of that special someone that you hold close to your heart. Waking up in the darkness with nothing but cold underneath you and alone is not normal. At least not anymore. And not for him. Toothless had gotten used to the sensations of waking up and knowing that somewhere in the room, Hiccup is there. If not then at least Astrid. He hated the feeling of being alone. It reminded him of the old days, before Hiccup and the others.
The first thing he registers is the extreme pain constantly pounding on his head. The second thing that he was able to register is that he couldn't see. Everything was too dark, unless because he had his eyes closed. Nope they are open. Now that he knows that his eyes are open, he knows that there is still definitely darkness because he all he can see is a tiny window. And there is something outside but he's too weak to get up and look. He turns his head and crawls to the cell door that he ses next but he feels something tug on his leg. He feels that an ankle cuff attached around his foot.
I guess they don't want me to get out just yet. He thought to himself.
He feels tired again. Very tired. So he does the rational thing and sleeps.
Waking up next to a dragon is normal.
Waking up next to a dragon that you've never met nor seen isn't.
"Why the hell are we even here?"
"No one knows, we've only been here a few days."
"Where exactly is 'here'?"
"I don't know. Nobody does. Someone tried to escape in order to see where we are. They went out, but they never came back. No one knows what happened to him."
"Yikes…"
"What's your name?"
"Óósómi. At least that was the name that I was assigned when I came here."
"What does that name symbolize?"
"...I don't wanna say it…"
"It's ok I get it."
"What about you? What's your name?"
"I didn't get one yet…"
"What about your real name?"
"Ok don't laugh...but it's Toothless."
Ósómi tried to hold it in but collapsed on the ground laughing.
"Hey!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself!" Toothless rolled his eyes.
"Back to the matter at hand...where are you from?"
"I'm from Berk."
"Where is that?"
"It's...um...I actually don't know where it is. I don't know how far away I am from home. I got knocked out. I guess they don't want me to escape too fast."
"Oh really? I thought as the only . Well I got blind folded, I was able to hear a lot of commotion but all I heard were the waves of the sea."
"I don't mean to be offensive or rude, but how old are you?"
"10 years old. I hate it here, I don't know where I am but I know that I don't like it here. I wanna go home….and...and" Ósómi was beginning to become hysterical. Toothless quickly put his hands on her small shoulders.
"Hey look at me. You need to calm down and take a deep breath before you have a panic attack. Breathe with me. In...out...in...out. That's it you're doing great. Now that you have your breathing in check, dry those tears away. Here blow into this." he holds up a cloth that represents a tissue. She blows into the cloth. "There you're all better now. A little word of advice, don't ever let others see you sad. It shows that they get to you."
Ósómi sniff "Is that what happened to you?"
"HEY BOTH OF YOU SHUT IT IN THERE!" yelled one of the guards banging the cells.
"How about you go to Helgrind!" yelled Ósómi to the guard. Toothless snickered off to the side. The guard walked away furiously.
"That was funny. Good job." Toothless told Ósómi who was laughing.
"Thanks." They were about to start another conversation when they heard the sounds of the gate being opened. One of the guards roughly grabs Toothless' arm and pushes him towards the gates.
"You're coming with us. The boss wants to see you."
Toothless was pushed into a room containing a single desk and a chair. Toothless was taking a look at his surroundings when someone steps out of the shadows form one of the corners. Toothless took one look at his face and scurried back to the door.
"It's you…"
"Oh you remember me don't you?"
"I could I not? After all you were the one who killed our clan...brother…"
