3rd Person POV

Drago hummed softly to himself as he looked over his unconscious dragon whisperer.

"I'm pleased to see you didn't fail me, Krogan. Now wake her. It's time to teach my little dragon a lesson and show her what it means to have true power." he purred in a low and dangerous voice.

Krogan chuckled and nodded obediently before bringing one hand round Lilly's head to pinch her nose, while his other one covered her mouth, knowing that the human body was bound to regain consciousness when it found it could no longer breathe. Of course there would have been other ways to wake her, but Krogan found them not nearly as amusing.

"Get your hands off of her!" Hiccup yelled in outrage, his struggles increasing against the men holding him. He kicked and intuitively slammed his metal foot down on the toes of the man on his left. The man cried out and let go of Hiccup's arm, but his action only brought him a short moment of freedom. Before he even got the chance to rush over to Lilly, Hiccup found himself taking a hard blow to his face. His world spun as he dropped down on the wooden planks, blood dripping from his nose.

"Hiccup!" Valka cried out, chest heaving with fear for her only child and it took five grown men to hold Stoick back from running to his son.

Drago merely smirked at the boy's pathetic efforts. "Tie him up." he rumbled before walking over to the ship's railing and staring at the bubbles forming on the water surface. The boy seemed to be very concerned for his dragon whisperer, making Drago assume that they must be close to each other. Good. This would make his lesson even more effective.

Lilly's body twitched, the first sign that she was waking up and it didn't take long till the twitching became full fledged movement as her eyes snapped open and she struggled to breathe. Krogan removed his hands from her face, allowing her to suck in deep breaths of air.

Lilly's POV

My chest heaved as I desperately sucked in air, fearing that it would be taken from me again. A pulsating pain spread from the back of my head down my neck to my shoulders as if I got hit by something. Someone was chuckling behind me and I frowned in confusion. Where am I?

"Finally decided to wake up, hm?" a silky voice mocked behind my back.

An inevitable gasp left my throat as realization stabbed me hard in the chest. Krogan, this was Krogan talking to me. He brought me back to Drago...brought me back because my own people abandoned me...and then he ordered to kill them all nevertheless...

Hot tears burned behind my eyes and I let out a strangled sob as my eyes fell on the scarred face that haunted me in my nightmares. A twisted grin spread on Drago's lips and it made my stomach clench with fear. I knew he was going to punish me for escaping...it was in his eyes. Oh gods...what is he up to?

"Lilly!"

My heart stopped its beat for a second. That voice. I dragged my gaze away from Drago and gasped loudly as my eyes fell on Hiccup, who struggled as two of Drago's men dragged him away to the front mast of the ship. His nose was bleeding but I noticed with relief, that he didn't seem to be injured otherwise. But what was he doing here? And it was not only him. I noticed with horror that Valka, Stoick and the dragons were captured as well. It made my heart hammer with a new wave of dread. So they didn't leave us, they got captured...

"Let go off me! Lilly!" Hiccup shouted and I couldn't stay still any longer.

"Hiccup!" I cried out and yanked myself away from Krogan and off his dragon only to fall face forward onto the hard wooden planks. For a moment I had forgotten that my hands were still bound behind my back and that stupid dress didn't help either.
