He was back on the ship. They were hurting him... torturing him.

Slap.

"Stop fighting boy! It's no use! You can't win this!" The leader said.

"Yes, I can! I will win! My friends are going to find me, and they will save me!" Hiccup replied with anger.

Slap.

"No, they won't boy! They are never going to look for you. They are not coming for your rescue. You will be stuck here, forever! With me and the rest of my men." The leader replied with a smirk.

Slap. Slap. Slap.

"Hiccup!"

Slap. Slap. Slap.

"Hiccup!"

"You will give up boy. You can't handle this torture. You are simply too weak. Just face it! It's over for you!" The leader yelled.

"I. Am. Not. Weak." Hiccup said with gritted teeth.

Slap.

"Yes, you are. You will always be weak. That's just who you are. A lousy weak boy."

Slap.

"Hiccup! Please!"

Slap.

It was too much. His cheeks hurt. He wanted to cry because it hurt so bad.

Slap.

"If you won't give up boy, I will find that precious little girlfriend of yours and hurt her!"

Hiccup's eye widened.

"You wouldn't..." Hiccup replied.

"Oh yes I would. I found you. So who's to say I can't find her, too? I will capture her and torture her and make you watch!" The leader shouted.

"Hiccup! Please, baby wake up!"

Hiccup replied shaking his head.

"N-no... NO!"

The leader only smirked and laugh.

"WAKE UP!"

Hiccup woke up, eyes wide and breathing fast. He was sweating. Astrid was sitting beside him looking at him with worry.

"Hiccup... you were breathing heavily so I tried waking you up but you didn't respond... you scared me..." Astrid said with tears in her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry... I had a n-nightmare... Sorry to worry you, baby." Hiccup replied softly.

"It's okay. How are you feeling?" She asked.

The truth is, he feels horrible. He knows he will never get over the torturing he suffered. But he didn't want to worry Astrid, so he lied.

"Better. I'm feeling better."

Astrid smiled.

"That's great! Do you want something to eat?"

"No. I'm not really hungry. You go ahead, okay? I'm just going to lie down for a bit longer. Don't worry about me." Hiccup replied.

Astrid nodded. Before she left his hut, she spoke again.

"If you need anything, just let me know. I love you, baby. You know that right?"

Hiccup froze. She loves him. He couldn't help but think that once she finds out what really happened in that ship, she will leave him and never love him again. He did his best to hold in the tears.

"I know... I love you, too Astrid." He replied softly before she left. When she did, a single tear rolled down his cheeks.
