CHAPTER 17

You sighed. Quite honestly speaking, you were surprised he didn't try to torture you or get you to speak any more. You didn't know the reason but he probably thought that with time, you would crack under the pressure.

You weren't sure how long it had been. All you knew from the talk on the ship was the fact that some time ago, could've also been only a day, Dagur surprise-attacked Berk. As for you and him, you've had plenty of one-sided conversations - of course, he was the main talker.

As for you, you had gotten a lot weaker. You didn't have enough room to stand up and if you would've, you doubted you could. Your body was sore from just laying on the wooden floor all the time and you barely even thought any more. For at least a few days now, you had been completely dull. You even ate barely half of what was given you now, hence you were very skinny. But honestly, you didn't care.

The guard yanked you up by your arms and half dragged you on the ship deck. Even though it was only early morning, you squinted your eyes to the light outside. You saw Hiccup and Toothless up in the air looking to the main ship which you were on and the rest of the Gang, minus Astrid, gathered around the two.

"Y/n?"
