We got captured. Hiccup, myself and our dragons. They got hit by something and they went down. Bliss and I went after them. Hiccup was stuck in his saddle. The metal had bent around his leg trapping him to the sinking dragon. We tried to get them out but there was no chance. Toothless was unconscious and I doubt that even if he wasn't that saddle would do anything. Before we could get an idea ready other than hope we wouldn't get spotted and float to shore. we were caught. Nets were around us and we were hauled in like fish. The sound of that voice it always pierces my head. I hate his voice. But before I could say anything to try and get us out of this situation the world turned black and that's why we're down in this dungeon.
'Why am I in chains? Where the Hel am I? Where's Hiccup? Did they make it out?' I opened my eyes. The dungeon. I know this place. I've seen people break and die down here. This place still smells disgusting, why don't they ever clean this place?
'Damn, could they have gotten these shackles any tighter? Whatever, is Hiccup here? There he is.' He is on the wall to the left of me. He looks hurt. Definitely bleeding we'll need to take care of that. The sooner the better most likely.
"Hiccup. Hiccup! Wake up!" 'Damn, he must have lost a lot of blood already.'
"Hiccup you need to wake up! NOW!" His head shifted and he let out a little groan. 'Thank the gods.'
"Wh-Where are we?"
"We're currently in a dungeon and shackled to the wall." His body lit up straining against his bindings.
"What! No! That can't be! We need to get out! Where's Toothless? He can't get away and fly without me. He'll die."
"Hiccup. Calm down. It's okay. Toothless is fine. Look." I pointed as best I could to the cage across from us. we both looked to the bars across the room. Inside sat Bliss looking unworried and Toothless who was still unconscious. 'Not good.'
"We have to get out. Alvin will kill Toothless."
"I wouldn't worry about that."
"What?! He'll kill Toothless of course i'm worried.
"No, I mean about Alvin. He's not on this island. Pretty likely at least."
"What do you mean? Where are we then."
"Dagur's" His face pailed. He started to struggle against the chains again. "Hiccup! Calm down."
"Calm down? Calm down! Not only will Dagur kill Toothless, he'll torture him. I can't allow him to do that. I'd kill Toothless myself before I allow him to be tortured." His eyes were bright and willing to be darkened for his dragon. I chuckled to myself. "How are you so calm? He'll kill your dragon too. How can you allow that!."
"He won't kill my dragon."
"What?" Before I could explain why, Dagur walked into the room. Flaunting a large dagger in his hand. He walked up to Hiccup.
"How are you Hiccup? You look angry. Don't be that way. I'll make sure your death is quick."
"And what about me?" I asked. A small smile played on my face.
"Ah yes." He walked over to me, releasing my bindings. I checked my wrists for cuts and rolled my shoulders.
"Next time. Don't make them so tight. Damn, any longer I would have lost a hand."
"TRAITOR!" Hiccup yelled with the little amount of strength he had left.
'I hate that word. I would never betray those who I consider my own.'
"Don't be like that Hiccup. Besides you won't have to worry about anything since you won't be leaving this village, ever again." Venom dripped from his mouth. "Ooohhhh~ won't it be amazing? The dragon master as my slave. I really like the sound of that. But first i'll have to break you. Make sure you won't try to run." The venom turned to acid. He had a dagger pointed to Hiccup's chin.
"Dagur! What are you going?"
"I was going to cut him." He said innocently.
"Don't you think I should get the first cut? I did get him here after all." His face was unamused but he seemed to be thinking.
"You did promise to get him here. And you held up on the deal, so I suppose that I can allow it this time. Go grab one of the knives on the table over there. I'll ready him for treatment." He gave a sickly smile before he turned away. I grabbed a knife from the table and turned to see Dagur rip the front of Hiccup's shirt open. The gash on his chest lay bare, still bleeding and oozing. Not a good sign. I slowly walked up behind Dagur, who was whispering something into Hiccup's ear. I lifted my hand and struck down. The leather gave way and blood began to pour from the wound.
I pulled Dagur away from Hiccup, covering his mouth so the screams were muffled. "You know Dagur, not that any of this will matter in few seconds, but I recommend you make sure people won't stab you in the back. I hear it's really unhealthy." I pulled the blade out and struck again, and pulled upward, making sure there was no way he would live. I pulled the keys from his belt, then let him fall into the corner. I released Hiccup shackles. I barely had time to catch him. He'd lost a lot of blood and needed to regain his strength, but the wound on his chest needed to be dealt with now. I ran over to the cage to release our dragons. Toothless still hadn't woken up. I motioned for Bliss to look over the dragon, make sure that any wounds were dealt with. I had other matters to attend to.
On my way back to Hiccup I grabbed another knife and stuck it in the fire in the middle of the room. While it heated up I crouched next to him, He was asleep but I need him awake for this. I lightly slapped him a few times to get him up. He grumbled but finally opened his eyes, full of fire. He grabbed at my shirt and tried to pull me down.
"TRAITOR! You're a traitor to me and to everyone on Berk. I trusted you, we all did!"
"SHUT UP!" He was taken aback. That was likely the first time he's heard me yell. "You need to calm down, i'm trying to save you here. That gash on your chest needs to be closed, and I need you awake for it." I got up and took a part of his torn shirt and twisted it, then handed it to him.
"What am I supposed to do with this?"
"Put it in your mouth. This is going to feel like you're dying." I walked back over to the fire and carefully pulled the dagger out. The blade was glowing red, it was hard to handle without hurting myself. I crouched next to him again, his eyes were trained on the knife.
"No, no, no, no, please!" His body was shaking, but he was too weak to get away from me.
"Hiccup! You need to calm down. It'll be worse if you don't concentrate. I need you to force yourself to not flinch when I touch you with this. If you move I could burn you where it's not necessary. You'll pass out when I close the wound. At least I highly recommend it. Now put that in your mouth. I'm going to clean it then i'll count to three, then… Well you know the rest." As much as he hated me right now, he complied and put the twisted cloth in his mouth. I tore another piece from the shirt and started to clean his cut as much as possible. His moans were loud and painful.
"One." He took a deep breath.
"Two." He held it.
"Three." He braced himself. He only flinched a little. 'He's strong. That's amazing. The last time I had to do this it took me forever. Anyways it looks like he passed out. That's Good. It'll probably make this a little easier.' I got up and walk towards Bliss and Toothless. I pat Bliss' head and stuck out my tongue. He followed suit and did the same. I scraped my hand down his tongue and collected as much spit as possible. I got back to Hiccup and smothered the spit on his chest.
"There that should help it heal. The wound closed up nice too. You'll live, thank the gods." I needed to get him food and drink. I grabbed another small knife from the table and made my way to the door. I started laughing loudly as I opened the door. Guards were posted on each side. 'Predicable Dagur.'
"GUYS! You have got to see this! It's hilarious." I motion for them to follow me into the room. When they entered I got the drop on one of them. Knife straight to the throat. The other guard I was not so lucky. He put up a good fight, until Bliss gave him a good chomp and he fell too. He gave me an annoyed look. I smiled at him.
"What? I had it handled." He grumbled something. "Whatever you can't even hear me." I motion for him to follow me. Before we left I signed Thank You to him, he gave me a cocky, I know it look. I rolled my eyes and when through the door. He came up under my hand, with his big eyes. I scratched his head as we walked out into the open.
We headed towards the small mead hall, in the middle of the village. When we entered the people inside gave me nods and smiles, a few pats on the back and some "thank you for bringing that freak down", which I don't understand since I do the same thing as him. We walked up to the table with the food on it. The cooks of the week standing behind it ready to serve people.
"Hey ladies."
"Alex, you're here. Does that mean that freak is here too." Her voice was almost evil.
"Ha. Yeah, that's why i'm here actually Dagur and I need food. That kid is surprisingly resilient. Anyways I need like five or six big fish, a thing of mead, Ooooh is that roast? I'll take like half of that and a loaf of bread." Both girls gave me dumbfounded looks.
"You're kidding right?" The girl with the evil voice asked, while the other stood still giving me a look.
"No. I'm not kidding. You wouldn't want Dagur getting mad would you?" With that they quickly set to work, getting what I asked for. They finished, placing each item on a large tray in front of me. "Thanks ladies." I gave them a warm smile, trying to lighten the mood. They both scowled at me. I picked up the tray and weaved through the people, back out into the open. Bliss came out a few seconds later. He slid to a stop at my feet. We made our way back, slinking into the door. The scene was still gruesome. Three bodies lay in heaps around the room, blood pooled on the floor and stained on the wall, Hiccup was groaning in his sleep and Toothless was Trying to get to his feet. 'Well at least he's awake.'
"Lay down Toothless your stiff and probably hurt." I walked up to him, that's when I noticed the saddle was missing. 'Well looks like we'll have to get Hiccup to the smithy to create a new one. Great.'
"How you feeling Toothless?" He whined and tried to get up again. "Stay down you idiot. You'll only make it worse. We're lucky you don't have any cuts." I placed the tray down, picked up two fish and gave one to Bliss then placed the other in front of Toothless. He sniffed at it but placed his head back down.
"If you don't eat that i'll force feed it to you, and don't think I won't." He grumbled but snatched the fish and swallowed it. I took a seat next to Hiccup, closing my eyes and thinking on what needed to happened.
Hiccup sat upright holding onto his chest. He started wheezing trying to catch his breath. Once he had caught his breath, he looked around and screamed. Everyone in the room quickly looked at him. "What are you doing that for?" He looked at me fire still raging inside him.
"YOU!" He yelled, taking a swipe at me. He tried again and again, always coming short. "I just want to go home." He whispered.
"I know. I know." I said back. I stood and stretched. Then carefully picked Hiccup up. He squirmed and fight me a little but was still too weak to break my grasp. I placed him down so that he was leaning on Toothless' belly. The dragon started to lick and clean him. He giggled and pleaded to his dragon to stop. But of course the dragon didn't, refusing to listen to his rider.
I walked over to the tray and picked it up. I placed it in front of Hiccup. I plucked one more fish from it and tossed it to Bliss. "Hiccup, you and Toothless need to eat. Regain your strength because you won't make it home if you don't.
"Once you both can walk, we'll head to my house. We can make a plan to get out of here, there. I guess the only real thing is making Toothless a new tail and saddle since the one you had is gone. Which shouldn't be too hard. At least it shouldn't be. And when we get there i'll explain all of this. I promise." He nodded and went on eating for a bit.
"Why don't you explain some of this to me. Like why Dagur trusted you." He stared at me. Daring me to lie to him.
"Well like I said the first time we met. My village was destroyed and I was captured. Alvin caught me. Then while we were headed to his island they captured Bliss. Trapped us in the same cage. You know the story. Well for some reason they gave me away or traded me to Dagur. Either way I got here and for some reason Dagur really wanted you dead.
