Hours had passed since Hiccup was thrown into the cell. He sat in the corner looking at his feet, his brain processing what had just happened. He looked to see Fishlegs who had woken up only two hours before hitting the cell bars yelling.
"LET US OUT! PLEASE MY MOMMY WAS GOING TO MAKE THE BEST COOKED FISH ON BERK FOR DINNER AND I CAN'T MISS IT!" Slowly Fishlegs started to cry and went to his knees.
"Fishlegs? Are you ok?" Hiccup asked scooting closer to his friend.
"I don't know," he said covering his face. "We're miles from Berk heading towards who knows where! And I am afraid of what's to come." Hiccup put his hand on Fishlegs shoulder and rubbed it.
"Everything will be alright, we will get out of this," Hiccup said. Fishlegs buried his face into Hiccup's shoulder and cried. Hiccup looked over at the other teens in the cell. The only other boy sat against the cell bars watching the light above them sway back and forth. His shaggy blonde hair covering his face. He was skinny like Hiccup but looked to be slightly taller. Two girls hugged each other whispering to one another. One had long black hair tied in a braid down her back, and bright blue eyes, she looked to be around ten. The other had brown hair tied in a bun, she stared at him with her bright blue eyes. She looked to be around seventeen.
Hiccup sighed as he looked at some of the other cells. He looked at the boy with shaggy blonde hair and started to make conversation.
"How many did they get at the last stop?" Hiccup asked. All three teens stiffened and stayed quiet. "Please I need to know; my father is the Chief of Berk and I need to know how many Berkians were taken from our home." The girl around ten turned towards him and held up two fingers.
"Two, just you and the large boy crying on your shoulder." The girl said taking her sisters hand.
"Are you sure? There were like over two dozen ships!" Hiccup exclaimed getting attention from some of the other teens in the cells.
"I've heard from the guards that the other ships hold dragons they have captured and provisions for everyone on the ships. This is the only ship that holds their human captives." The little girl said.
"What's your name?" Hiccup asked pushing Fishlegs off his shoulder.
"Me?!" The little girl asked shocked.
"Yes you," Hiccup said leaning on his knees.
"My name is Alisha, my sister here is Linda. And we are from a small island called Hÿger. We have been at peace with dragons for over twenty years now." The girl who was called Alisha stated. Hiccup was about to respond when another voice entered the cell.
"My name is Ov'ar. I am the second son to the chief of the ice islands." They looked at the boy with shaggy blonde hair to see him looking at them with hazel eyes. "We have been at peace with the dragons for over two centuries. They have helped us build our village. Our kidnappers came over two months ago and raided my village; I was the only one taken." Hiccup felt a tear fall down his face. "I just hope my village is safe," Ov'ar added as tears also filled his eyes.
"Well, we all have one thing in common." Hiccup said getting their attention.
"What?" Fishlegs asked hugging his legs.
"We have all befriended dragons." Hiccup said looking at everyone in the cell. They all seemed to understand as they nodded. "We have brought them into our lives. Asked them to be our friends."
"Where do you think they are taking us?" Ov'ar said wiping away the tears that had fallen down his cheeks. Hiccup looked up at the swaying light and listened to the sound of waves crashing into the side of the ship. He let out a sigh as he closed his eyes.
"I do not know." Hiccup said as his mind replayed the last image he had of his father. The man large in stature ran with all his might. His red beard blew in the wind, eyes large with fear. Hiccup opened his eyes as the tears that had built up fell down. He released a sob as for the first time in the last three hours he realized what had happened. He was kidnapped. Stolen. Taken. Abducted. He was never going to see his home, his island of berk, again. He brought his knees up to his chest as his body started to shake. He felt arms wrap around him and hold tight.
"Oh, Hiccup. It's ok," Fishlegs said as his voice cracked. "Everything will be alright, just like you said. They will find us."
"But what if they can't?" Hiccup sobbed. He kept his eyes closed wanting to forget where he was. "I just gained my father's respect. the Village's respect. And now it's gone along with Toothless." Hiccup then released the fear and worry inside of him and let the tears come more than before.
His cries filled the area below deck. They echoed up the stairway and out to sea. His cry then seemed to get louder as each child taken from their home started as well. Before long the once quiet atmosphere was replaced by the wails of children as they remembered what had been taken from them.

Viggo looked at the sight below him. Fire and heat flowed up from the pit below causing an updraft and forcing everything to move. He smiled as the sound of a dragon's fire could be heard as the light glowed brightly in Viggo's face. His plan was going perfectly and business was booming.
"Viggo!" a voice sounded as the light subsided glowing only a fraction from before. Viggo turned around and watched as a soldier saluted.
"What is it?" Viggo said as he walked towards the throne made of dragon skulls sitting by his left. The soldier lowered his salute gulping.
"The ships are on their route back home. Their last raid being the island of berk." The Soldier said worry clear in his voice.
"Oh good. Who did they take?" Viggo said sitting down.
"A large young man clearly the son of a good cook in his mind-"
"I don't care if their parents are a sage!" Viggo yelled interrupting the soldier.
"The second and last is Stoick's son." The soldier said covering his head. Viggo smiled, he leaned back placing his elbows on the arms of the throne.
"Oh, I have plans for him."

Author's Note
please forgive me for such a late update on this story. I can't believe that it's been almost four years since I adopted this story from stampyfan15243 and started writing. Life has been crazy, I had writer's block for over a year, then moved summer of 2020. From working, School, and the normal part of being an adult, I forgot about this story and focus on other things. Now to 2022-2023, I focused on a huge project that I plan to publish in the future about dragons, magic, and space travel. To get an Idea about how big this will be, think of Brandon Sanderson and one of his universes. Well, just about 90 minutes ago I was going through my junk mail and saw a message from Wattpad. I looked at it and completely remembered this story. I had most of this chapter written and only had to finish the ending. I'm not proud of such a large gap between chapters, but sadly it has to happen again.
I would love to start writing the third chapter and get it out this weekend. But I have other duties that will put the story on hold for over a year.
I'm a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm going on a mission for my Church to serve people in the area I've been assigned. For that reason, I will not be writing for a while. But when I return and am able to come back, I will finish the story for you all to read.
you can all thank @Dragongirl9518 for the comment they left less than 24 hours ago. Thanks to them I was able to remember the story and finish the second chapter before I leave.
Thank you all for reading this story. Even though the wait was long.
