How my life changed

Chapter 18

Hiccup's P.o.v.

Shocked and unable to move, I stared into the mirror in which I could see my neck and the hickey even better. How could I forgot about that?! I don't even know if I'm not maybe a little mad at Jack because he had known that Pitch could see it but he still gave me the hickey... But there was one thing I knew. I was scared. I was so fucking scared.

"P-Pitch, that's nothing! Someone at school made fun of me and lifted me up by my neck and- ", I tried to explain but Pitch interrupted me.

"Do you think I'm stupid Hiccup? I know what a fucking hickey is when I see one!" Pitch grabbed my hair and pulled me to the side and kicked me against the wall. When my back hit the wall, I wasn't able to cry out in pain because Pitch already punched me in my stomach and all the air that was in me left me. Tears gathered in my eyes and I gasped. I didn't want to cry, didn't want to give Pitch the satisfaction of being able to make me cry. Was this now the end of me? Would Pitch kill me now? And what about Jack...?

"You are so useless! A disgusting piece of shit that isn't worth anything at all.", Pitch shouted and grabbed my by my arm and twisted it in a bad way. I cried out in pain and tried to tear my arm away from Pitch but it was completely useless. He was stronger than I was. He twisted my arm more and more until I finally heard a disgusting crack and a sharp pain ran through my arm and finally through my entire body. I screamed again but Pitch hit my hard on my back that I couldn't make a sound and just was able to cough violently.

"Don't you dare scream around like that! No one will hear you anyways and your little friend which you had so much fun with won't be here either. I took care that he never will be anywhere anymore!"

When I heard that I just stared at Pitch. My situation couldn't get any worse than it was at the moment anyway so I took all my courage I had left and tore myself away from Pitch and punched him in the face. My hand cracked while it hit him but I couldn't feel the pain anymore because of the adrenaline which flooded my entire body.

"Leave me alone Pitch! And above all leave Jack alone! He would never do anything that I wouldn't want! Do you know the difference between you and him?! He loves me! He really does! And I love him back too! You're just a dirty and disgusting monster!", I yelled while Pitch stared at me with wide eyes. He wasn't used to me saying something against him. In all the years that I have been with Pitch I never said anything to defend myself against him. Deep inside I felt different than usual... somehow relieved... When I was about to say something again Pitch expression darkened quickly and I remained silent. I bit a little bit on my lip but I didn't regret what I said to him. I was paralyzed when he grabbed me by my neck and lifted me up.

"How dare you say something like that to me?!", Pitch growled and hit me suddenly in my face. The punch was so strong that I could hear my nose crack. I whimpered in pain and tried to move away from Pitch but it was impossible. He only held my neck tighter and I started to fight not to start choking when the air suddenly became rare. I gasped and held his arm with my hands and tried to push it away. He didn't move a single bit and it the pain in my arm became even worse from the moving around. I felt something warm run out of my nose and over my lips to my chin. Also the hand which I had used before to punch Pitch, was bleeding. At least I could already see a small bruise appear under Pitchs eye.

"P-Pitch..." I tried to speak but I couldn't. I just didn't have enough air left... My vision slowly started to blur.

"You'll never be able to get away from me! And I don't care who you love and who not!", Pitch said coldly and threw me to the ground. Immediately I gasped when my body hit the hard floor and the pain quickly consumed my whole body.

"I already took care that your perfect little friend Jack, isn't around any longer.", Pitch growled and kicked me in the ribs. I couldn't feel the pain any longer. Everything went numb when I heard that he had Jack as his target now. I can't let him get Jack! But what could I do? My situation was totally hopeless at the moment. I couldn't move a bit without fainting from the massive pain and Pitch is still here. And Pitch is way stronger than I am. I somehow wished that Jack would be here now and would protect me from Pitch. On the other hand, I don't want him to be here and get in any danger just because of me...

Pitch kicked me again and laughed.

"You're such a worm. A parasite." He grabbed my hair and pulled me up a bit. My vision was blurred by the tears and the pain and I almost couldn't see anymore how he smirked at me.

"I should just castrate you now, you know?" He pulled me by my hair across the bathroom floor and to the bathtub. I couldn't move. I already felt like a corpse and I was pretty sure that I would be one soon. The fear was long gone by now. I only felt numb and I felt the regret. Should I have stayed with Jack? What if I never went to Jack? What would have happened if I had stayed with him? Would I maybe have a normal life then and be with the person I love the most?

Pitch yanked me up by my hair so I was sitting. Then he hit my head against the edge of the bathtub. I gasped and my vision blurred more and more. Slowly everything went black and I fainted.

Jack's P.o.v.

I just wanted to go outside to bring the trash out and then suddenly everything turned black. I have no idea what happened but now it felt like... I was asleep? Strange.

When I woke up, I couldn't move a single bit. I had a terrible headache but I ignored it and slowly opened my eyes. I tried to look around but it was useless. Everything was black. I was in total darkness. It felt like I was sitting on a old chair or something like that and my legs and arms were tied at it. Is this a dream? This just can't be real. It's not like we are in a bad action movie here. I tried to free my arms but it had no use. Only after I was quiet for a bit and didn't move, I noticed that someone was talking with someone else in front of the room I was in. I concentrated and tried to listen to what he was saying.

"Yes, I have him. You can come here whenever you want."

Then for a moment there was only silence... Were they talking about me? I heard no second voice so they must be on the phone.

"Okay good. See you soon Pitch."

Silence.
