Today was the day. It was the day the pirates would be punished for what they did.
Stoick had arranged everything, and decided that Gobber, Spitelout and the teens would come along with him. They packed everything they needed and left to find the ship. It didn't take long for them to find the ship, and everyone except Astrid and Hiccup landed on the ship to fight the pirates. There were a total of ten pirates, but the gang were successful in fighting them. They tied them up and gagged them before they gestured for Astrid and Hiccup to land on the ship. When they landed, Hiccup began trembling and breathing fast. Astrid saw that, so she quickly approached him and held his hand tight.
Anywhere he looked, the horrible memories would come back, so he looked down and squeezed his eyes shut.
"Son. I know that you don't want to look at them, but I need you to identify the pirate who raped you. You can take your time." Stoick said. They all waited. A few minutes later, they heard Hiccup sniffle before he looked up with tears in his eyes. He squeezed Astrid's hand tightly and forced himself to look at the pirates.
"Which one of them raped you, Hiccup?" Stoick asked him softly. Hiccup's lips started to quiver, and a few moments later, he finally answered.
"All of them." He whispered softly, but everyone heard. Their eyes widened in shock. Did they hear him right?
"What did you just say, lad?" Gobber asked. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"I said all of them! All of them raped me!" He yelled. They all gasped. Astrid covered her mouth with her trembling hands and looked at Hiccup. She thought only the leader raped him. Everyone thought that.
"Well then... I think the six of you better leave this ship. We have some things we need to take care of. Go back to Berk and wait in my house." Stoick said, still in shock from earlier. The teens quickly got on their dragons and flew off, leaving Stoick, Gobber and Spitelout. The teens already knew that all ten of the pirates would be executed because all of them raped Hiccup. They flew back to Berk in silence, and waited for them to return. About half and hour later, Stoick, Gobber and Spitelout arrived at Berk and met the teens in Stoick's house. Stoick looked at his son and spoke.
"Hiccup. You never told us you were raped by all of them! Why didn't you tell us?" Stoick said with a small frown.
"I couldn't. I couldn't tell you guys because it was just too embarrassing. But you can't blame me! You don't understand how I feel. You have no idea how much I suffered. You have no idea how humiliating it is to be used as a toy for people to play with. Do you want to know what they did to me? They stripped me naked, chained me up, and made sure my legs were spread wide open so they could have some fun with me! The leader was the one who raped me first. And after he was done, he let the rest of them queue up to rape me. Do you have any idea how much pain I went through?! I just wish that I died when I fought the Red Death! Then none of this would have happened! I just want this nightmare to stop!" He sobbed loudly. The teens started crying, while Stoick, Gobber and Spitelout had a sad look on their faces.
"Hiccup, don't say that! We will help you get through this." Stoick said softly while approaching Hiccup. He reached his hand out to touch him but he flinched and backed away.
"No! Please don't touch me! Just leave me alone." Hiccup said before leaving his house. Astrid and Stoick were about to go after him when Gobber stopped them.
"Let him be alone. Give him some time to cool down. If he doesn't come back by late afternoon, we will go look for him." Gobber said calmly. They sighed and nodded.
Hiccup ran as fast as he could, away from everyone. He spot a cliff and decided to run towards it. When he finally reached the top of the cliff, he let out a loud scream and started to sob. And then he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He could see sharp rocks sticking out from the sea below. He closed his eyes, and let out a shaky breath.
Just one more step, and this nightmare would be all over.
