New Family (a Httyd/Rtte Fanfic)

Escape

Hiccup looked sacred as Hina mentioned her name. His green eyes widened and he subconsciously pressed against the wall behind him.

The girl sighed.

Everytime she mentioned her name everybody either laughed or cringed in fear.

She turned away from the young man and leaned against the wall as well. Guilt stabbed her stomach as she thought of what she had just seen.

Her father did this.

He hurt this innocent boy for, well really, no reason.

She rubbed her face with her hands.

"Listen," she told Hiccup. "My name may not be a favorite but that doesn't mean that I'm like him." She avoided the prisoner's eyes. She didn't want to see the fear in them ever again. It hurt too much knowing that the fear was caused by her. Hina hugged her knees to her chest. She didn't know how long she was like that but after a while a warm hand was placed on her shoulder. She looked up to see Hiccup staring at her.

"Don't worry." he told her.

Hina smiled.

Finally someone understood her. They stayed like that awkwardly for a while then the girl pushed herself to her feet.

"Okay" she told the dragon rider. "Time to get out."

Hiccup looked at her quizzically.

"How? I mean, well," he held up his hands. That's when she realized he was chained to the wall. That never happened to the prisoners her father had caught before. Terrifying images filled her head from the first time he had brought her to the prison. She shook her head then smirked.

"No problem," she told him. "I've busted out of these cells more times than I can count." at this, Hiccup laughed.

"How many times have you gotten into trouble?" he asked her.

Hina just shrugged.

"Not sure, don't really even care."

This earned her another laugh.

She smiled.

The young woman reached her finger into her sash and pulled out a small key. Her new friend looked stunned. She reached for his right arm and unlocked the chain.

"Always be prepared." she told him.

His left arm proved a little more difficult. It was swollen and every time she touched it, it hurt him. She did not like that. Not one bit.

Eventually they got it off. Hiccup tried to stand up and almost fell over. Hina caught him before the ground did. The boy mumbled something under his breath but he tried to stand without Hina's support. He stumbled a bit but he still made it to the gate. Hina unlocked the bars and led Hiccup to a crook in the wall.

"Great, a dead end." he exclaimed.

The girl just rolled her eyes and ran her hands over the wall. At a slightly deeper rock she pressed her hand in and a secret corridor opened up. Hiccup's, who had leaned against the rockets, jaw dropped open as he saw what had just happened.

Hina smirked.

Voices sounded down the hall. She and hiccup shared a quick look and then hurried into the passage. Pulling a lever Hina closed the door. The moment she did, complete darkness surrounded them.

"Uh, Hina." Hiccups voice called.

"I'm over here."

Out of her sash she pulled a small pouch that emitted a blue glow. Flightmare algae.
