Chapter 88 - You are mine now

Warning: This chapter contains the description of torture and violence.

3rd Person POV

Above deck Toothless cowered in his cage. He shook his head as the daze began to draw away, but kept it lowered. Something wasn't right. In fact something was terribly wrong. Toothless couldn't point it out though, but he knew it was bad...very bad. And it had something to do with him. His insides felt dull and empty and he felt his heart ache painfully as he came back to himself. What was that feeling? It was something Toothless had never felt before. There were men laughing around him and the echo of a deep, rumbling voice brushed his conscious mind like an icy breeze. His eyes widened as it suddenly hit him. He knew now what this feeling was!

Guilt.

The guilt sat not on his chest but inside his brain. What he had done, he could not undo.
He killed Stoick...the father of his best friend...the chief of Berk. What made it even more unbearable was, that Toothless knew if Stoick hadn't jumped in between, he would have killed Hiccup. He was a murderer.

Toothless whimpered, squeezed his eyes tightly shut as another wave of guilt almost crushed him with its intensity. He shouldn't have listened to the Bewilderbeast...he should have fought more, tried to resist its influence...he should've shaken it off...but he was weak.

Weak.

A weakling.

Not worth to be called a Night Fury.

And who knew where Hiccup was now? He was trapped in a cage, muzzled and unable to protect him. It was all his fault. Toothless hid his head between his claws and wailed pitifully.

That was until a painful scream split the air. Toothless' ears perked up and in the next second he jumped to his feet. He would recognize this voice under a million. This was Hiccup. His Hiccup. And he was in pain.

Toothless tried to fight the muzzle off to no avail, tried to reach his mind out for Lilly but she seemed to engulfed in dread to even notice his attempts. Blind rage filled him as Hiccup screamed again - louder. He needed to help his best friend. Toothless started to bump his head against the walls of the cage. When this wasn't working either, he started to roll around on the ground in his tantrum, his wings and feet lashing out forcefully. If he just could escape this cage! Then...then he would go after this Drago guy and blast him to pieces. Then he would save Hiccup and Lilly.

"Stop your pathetic efforts!"

The voice of the Bewilderbeast rumbled in his head and Toothless grew slightly dizzy as it tried to take control of his mind once more.

"Never! Leave me alone!" he shouted in savage rage, trying to fight it off. He would not give into that evil dragon again. He would be strong...he had to be for Hiccup. Because his best friend needed him, because he was in pain. No one was allowed to hurt Hiccup.

Hiccup's POV

My eyes grew watery from Krogan's tight grip on my hair as he looked down at me with a gloating look. Not caring about the consequences, I did the worst thing I could come up with. I spit him right into his face. Krogan let go off my hair with a growl and wiped saliva from his cheek. I noticed with satisfaction how he looked taken aback by my boldness. But my little triumph only lasted a second. Krogan moved fast, his fist connecting with my jaw in a hard blow.

The stroke left me feel dizzy and I stumbled slightly, spitting up blood. I raised my head and made myself glare at the dark man.

"I was going to make your death quick, boy." Krogan rumbled, his voice dangerously low and smooth. "But you're practically begging me to take my time. Well have it your way, I shall not hold back."
