Complicated. (...sort of)

Chapter 30

Hiccup's POV

I blinked my eyes opened to darkness. I looked out the window and saw a bright full moon, sitting at the top of the sky. I stretched my back and walked quietly downstairs, trying not to wake anyone up. I gazed at the map of the Destroyer's home island. I didn't have any plan on how to get there, because the dragons would be shot down and the ships would be blown to splinters. Is sighed and sat down. What am I supposed to do?

Mercy's POV

I tugged as hard as I could at the chains that were hanging from the ceiling. I've tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked.

"Mercy go to sleep you've been yanking those chains all night." Cody grumbled from across the hall.

"I'm not sleeping in this place. Who knows what they could do to me behind my sleeping back!" I said and tugged once more.

"Mercy enough just because you won't sleep doesn't mean you need to bother the ones that are trying to sleep." Lenny groaned. I sat down on the ground and sighed.

"You guys aren't even gonna try and get out of here?" I asked.

"We're 10, what can we do?" Cody replied.

"We can do as much as anyone else! Do you really think age matters?" I said.

"Yes age does matter. When does anyone listen to a 10 year old or when do you ever hear about a 10 year old escaping from a ravage tribe?" Lenny asked sarcastically. I hung my head and took a deep breath, on the verge of tears.

"I'm 9. My birthday is tomorrow." I said as my voice broke. I heard their chains rustle against the ground.

"Really?" Cody asked with a sorrowful tone.

"Yeah." I said and hugged my knees. They didn't respond anymore, but we just sat in silence and darkness. "We're getting out of here." I said and broke the silence.

"The only problem with that is these guys are crazy and we don't know what's outside of these doors." Lenny replied.

"Well there's really only one way to find out." Cody said.

"If only we could get these stupid chains off." I said and yanked as hard as I could at the metal chains dangling loosely from an iron rod in the ceiling. I saw the rod move out of place slightly. "You guys pull your chains as hard as you can!" I said happily and kept pulling.

Cody's POV

I pulled at my chains and their on rod slipped out of place.

"Ah!" I shouted as I stumbled backwards after my chains dropped to the ground.

"You okay Cody?" Mercy asked from across the hall. I heard a thud come from next to me.

"I'm okay. You?" I asked.

"I'm fine." She said "Lenny are you okay? We heard a thud but nothing else."

"All good I'm here." Lenny responded. "So we're free from the hanging chains but breaking news, we're still in cells."

"Leave that one to me." She said and started messing with the lock. I heard multiple small clicks, followed by a loud click, then the squeaking of an old door. "I got it you guys!" She said. There was a clanging coming from the iron door at the end of the hallway.

"Mercy get back in your cage and close the door now!" I said with a concerned tone. She ran back in and slammed the door shut. I turned and slid down the door so the guards couldn't see me through the window. They paced around the hallways and slid food under all of our doors. There was then the sound of a door locking and footsteps fading away.
