Complicated. (...sort of)

Chapter 37

I freaking love that fanart!!!

Mercy's POV

I was standing against a wall about 10 feet from the door. I tried to slide and get to the door that was open just a little bit. But it almost seemed impossible. I was dizzy and I couldn't feel the movements I took.

"Why you all the way over there?" The man said with his scratchy voice. I didn't respond, but only slid another inch towards the door, back still pressed against the cold wall. "Don't you try and get away from me little missy."

"I may be little but don't you dare call me missy." I said and used all of my strength to run out the door and slam it shut. I shoved a sliver of metal in the lock and bent the edge that was sticking out.

"Hey you unlock this door right now you worthless little troll!" The man shouted. I just backed away slowly, panting.

"I'd rather not." I said in a dark tone, then turned around and started walking down the hallway.

Hiccup's POV

I heard the door to Mercy's cell slam shut. I tried to listen for any conversation I could hear.

"Hey unlock this door right now you worthless little troll!" The man shouted. I felt rage bubble in me at the fact that he had the guts to say that to my little girl.

"I'd rather not." I heard her reply and she started walking down the hall.

"Thatta girl that's it!" I shouted. She stopped in front of my cage and looked in with a panicked look.

"Dad!" She shouted. "Are you okay? Are you hurt at all?" She asked with a panicked tone.

"No I'm okay. The chains are a little tight but I'll live. Listen I need you to do one thing."

"What is it?"

"Go across the hall and free Toothless. He can break my chains but you have to free him."

"Okay. I need something to unlock the door." She replied.

"Find something, anything really would work these locks are not the best I've seen." I said in a normal tone, making Mercy flash a confused face.

"How can you be so calm right now? You do realize we're in a prison on an unknown island and you're chained to a wall and I feel dizzy." She said in a fast pace.

"This has happened a lot. Wait, you're dizzy?" I questioned. I looked over to the door where she was standing but didn't see her. "Mercy?" I asked. No response. "Mercy?!" I said but louder. I pulled at the chains once more and the flew out of the wall, knocking me off my feet. I quickly scrambled up and to the door. I saw her laying face down on the stone floor, her breathes shallow and short. "Oh gods." I whispered to myself and began looking around for anything to unlock the door.

I looked out the window once more to check on her. She still lay in the same position. I frantically pat my armor to see if they removed the knife. To my surprise, and luck, they were too stupid to take my weapons. Okay seriously this is too easy. I wiggled the knife I the lock until I almost had it. But the handle slipped out of my grip and the knife clanged to the floor. I gripped the bars on the window and studied them. I pulled them toward me and the slipped out of place. I kept pulling until they were completely off the frame and in my hands. I threw them to the floor and climbed through the window. Well I guess there are perks to being a hiccup. I landed on my knees and hands a few feet from the window, and crawled over to where Mercy was. I checked her pulse and it was a slow and faint heartbeat.

"What did you do to her?" I asked the man who she had locked in we cell.

"Oh me? Why I wouldn't hurt that precious little angel." He said in a much different tone then the croaky voice I had heard earlier. "In fact, can you tell me why I'm in the cage of my own dungeon mister?"
