How To Train Your Dragon: Broken

Separated by Fate

"Let go of me!" Astrid struggled and fought against the mans tight hold but to no avail, "Where are you taking me?"

"A place I'm sure you'll never forget," the man laughed.

Astrid could only guess at whatever he meant. She glanced ahead and saw a rather large ship docked at a rather small dock. Astrid prayed that wherever she was sent she would find some way to escape.

"Watch your step," the man smirked as he shoved Astrids head forward. They walked up a sturdy plank. Astrid was brought below deck and roughly shoved into a cage that could fit two Deadly Nadders.

"You won't get away with this!" Astrid growled as the man locked the cage, "Do you know what tribe I'm from!? I'm from Berk!"

"See if I care," the man chuckled with to much sass. With keys in hand the man laughed as he returned up deck.

Astrid charged the cage despite having her hands tied behind her back. She charged again. And again. And again. She eventually had to stop; her head was beginning to hurt.

"Excuse me?" a feminine voice called out quietly.

"Is someone there?" Astrid tried to find whoever spoke but had limited vision.

"I'm here," a hand popped out from the cage next to Astrid, "Did you say that your from Berk?"

"Yea. Who are you?" there was something about the voice next to her that Astrid didn't like.

"My name is Eydis," the voice responded, "I got captured two days ago."

"Oh," Astrid felt sorry for her, "I'm Astrid-uh-do you know why were captured?"

"I've overheard some guards chatting," Eydis began to explain, "We were captured to be put on the black market."

"Black market!" Astrid did not want to hear that, "Oh that's just peachy! If I had my axe o-or hell! If I had Stormy this whole ship would be sinking right now!" She banged her head against the wood of the boat.

"Stormy? Who's that?" Eydis asked.

"My dragon," Astrid sighed.

"Your dragon!" Eydis' voice go excited at the thought, "You have a dragon!"

"Well...yea. I said I was from Berk remember?" Astrid sat down and rested her head on the wall that separated her and Eydis, "Hey, Eydis is it? How old are you?"

"Seven," Eydis answered.

Seven! Astrid was nearly brought to tears right then and there. A seven year old was about to be sold on the black market to Gods know who!

"Why did you ask my age?" Eydis asked," Astrid?"

Astrid sighed, "Don't worry Eydis. I'll make sure that we stick together. And, after we get out of this, I'll take you back home."

"You will!?" Eydis smiled at the promise.

"Yea," Astrid faked a smile even though Eydis couldn't see her. Thing is; Astrid didn't know how she would get herself out of this. I hope your fairing better Hiccup.

O

Hiccup kicked and wiggled furiously. 

"Settle down you!" the man tightened his grip.

"I will if you let me go!" Hiccup struggled some more.

"As if I would do that," the man laughed, "Viggo would have my head! Now be quiet!" The man took Hiccup to the other side of the island where a boat bobbed in the water.

"Where's my dragon?" Hiccup demanded, "And Astrids! What did you do with our dragons!?"

"I said be quiet!" the man smacked his large hand across the back of Hiccups head, "It's none of your concern anymore!" Hiccup was brought aboard the boat and placed in a cell below deck. "Keep your eye on this one," the man told the guard after he locked the cell. He handed the keys to the guard.

"Why?" the guard asked as he shoved the keys in his pocket...

The man sighed at the cluelessness of his friend, "He's the one that killed that massive dragon with the Night Fury."

"Oooh," the guard shook his head, " Uh, when did that happen?"

The man faceplamed, "Just don't let him get out!" Then he sauntered up the stairs, leaving the guard and Hiccup alone.

I need to get those keys, Hiccup thought, But even if I do get them...how will I get off this boat? Where are they taking me? Hiccup sighed, I hope your doing better Astrid.
