Third POV
"We'll be okay bud. This Nightmare looks it's finally over." Hiccup said, with relief and confidence in his voice while he looked at his Dragon.
"Are you sure about that, Hiccup?" A familiar voice asked hiccup looked up to where the voice came from. His eyes widened when he saw Viggo landing on Stormfly's back while he held Astrid close to his body.
"Viggo. Let me guess. You want the Dragon Eye in exchange for Astrid?" Hiccup asked, already knowing what Viggo wanted.
"Oh, it sounds so much colder when you say it like that but, yes." he finished.
Hiccup noticed how Viggo pulled Astrid closer to his body making her whimper in fear.
That made him feel anger and hate towards Viggo.
Then, Viggo spoke again. "While I do appreciate your assistance in putting my brother in his rightful place, I must insist that you return it to where it belongs, with me." he finished.
Astrid gasped when Viggo brought her axe close to her neck.
Not thinking twice or saying a word Hiccup grabbed the Dragon Eye From Toothless' Saddle and turned around to look at Viggo eye to eye.
Astrid couldn't stay quiet any longer especially when Viggo raised his arm with the axe. And acted fast when Astrid was about to speak. He tightened his grip on Astrid's stomach making it hard for her to say a word.
With all her forces she was able to yell.
"Hiccup! It's a Trap!" she yelled.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Two arrows were fired, hitting Toothless on his tail and side forcing him to fall unconscious to the ground.
Hunters appeared from there hiding spots, grabbing Hiccup and making him drop the Dragon eye.
One of the hunters grabbed the Dragon Eye. Hiccup watched in horror when some of Viggo's men forced Astrid on her knees after Viggo let go of her. By the time Viggo reached the floor Stormfly had already fallen unconscious to the ground as well, this time with a Dragon root arrow on her leg and belly.
With the flip of his fingers, Viggo's men began to punch Hiccup with great force. Forcing him to cough out blood.
"Viggo Please, Stop!" Astrid yelled, tears streaming down her face seeing the one her loved in danger and her not able to do anything about it!
Viggo turned to look at her and said nothing.
All he did was smirk and turn his face to see Hiccup. Who was now covered in bruises and bleeding badly, Viggo let a few more minutes passes and signaled for the hunters to stop, when they did Hiccup fell to the floor still not unconscious, and tried lifting himself with his elbows.
"You really don't give up that easily do you, Hiccup?" Viggo asked, he walked up to Hiccup and knelt in front of him. Hiccup yelp in pain when Viggo grabbed him by his hair.
He lifted his hand and a hunter handed him the Dragon Eye.
"This is back where it belongs," he said, and let go of Hiccups hair.
He made another signal before his men started to punch and kick the boy again.
Astrid, on the other hand, was forced to stand up. When she was completely standing she hit both hunters with such a great force that they let go of her.
Astrid began to run as fast as she could! To where Hiccup was to help him when a great force grabbed her by one wrist and forced her to stop and turn around.
When she turned around Viggo pulled her close to him and grabbed her other wrist which forced her to look at him.
Viggo looked at Astrid's eyes. The baby blue color that, reminded him of the Aquamarine. Her nose was pink since she was crying.
And he felt how much she was trying to escape his grip. More when he tightened, making her gasp.
"You are coming with me, my dear," Viggo said, pulling Astrid closer to him.
"Wait!" Hiccup Yelled. Everyone's eyes all looked at him. He was bleeding and badly injured. But, what hurt more was seeing his love with the man he hated the most.
"Leave her alone Viggo she has nothing to do with this," he yelled trying not to fall or close his eyes. Viggo let go of Astrid, his men acted fast and grabbed the blond girl by her arms.
"I know that very well Hiccup," Viggo said, walking around. "But your girlfriend will be a great slave or even a wife"
Those last words made Astrid feel frightened, she struggled against the men's grip. Which made it worse because his men tied Astrid's wrist behind her.
Hiccup tried to move but was too weak. He was using all of his strength to lift himself with his elbows. He noticed how his enemy started to walk towards him once more
Viggo stood there looking at the boy, the same boy that freed thousands of dragons, the same boy that had defeated his brother. And made Viggo look like a fool, now here he was worrying more for the girl he loves than for himself.
Viggo was impressed and he knew his revenge was just starting. He kicked Hiccup right in the stomach making him lose his strength, his balance, and his fight.
Viggo chooses his sword and raised to finish with Hiccup.
"Viggo! Please don't!" Astrid yelled in a panic! He turned around and walked up to her.
Took a dagger out. And took away her arm protectors and headband. He held the items in his hand before tossing them to the floor, a few inches away from Hiccup.
Hiccup did his best to crawl and grab the Arm protectors and headband. When he did he looked at Astrid, she struggled to get freed. And of course, it didn't work.
Viggo nodded to one of the hunters. The hunter that was standing on the left had a gag (a piece of cloth) and gagged Astrid.
She tried shouting but nothing could be understood. It was all muffled.
The hunter took some more rope and pinned her arms to her body and tightly bound it in ropes.
Her feet were bound as well. Right after that, she found herself in the hunter's arms. Struggling to free herself even though she knew that was not going to happen.
"Take her, away" Viggo commanded, all the hunters started to walk to where their ship had been hidden and Astrid was able to see what was happening.
Her eyes widened, Viggo raised his sword once more and stabbed Hiccup.
Her heart stopped, a million memories she had with Hiccup flashed through her eyes. And she asked herself again. But where, in his heart or in his side?
Her heart was broken, injured, Hiccup was gone and now she was being taken away from everything she ever loved.
Viggo grabbed his sword back and headed to where his men were. He smiled when he saw Astrid.
Steve (The name of the hunter that's holding Astrid) handed Astrid into Viggo's arms.
She looked at him with fear. Her nose was now red and tears wouldn't stop from falling. Worst of all was when Viggo made her bangs cover her left eye. She hated him, but the look on his eyes made Astrid ask questions that she had no answers for at that moment.
Viggo didn't seem to care that the blond girl was afraid of him. Or hated him, all he seemed to care for was that she could finally belong to him.
He played with her bangs for a while. All she could do was a whimper, and cry. She tried shaking her head to remove the gag, tried moving her wrist, nothing worked, her feet. Her wrist was bonded so tight she felt like she had cuts on them.
Viggo chuckled with happiness. And finally began to walk to his ship.
Taking a scared Astrid on his arms.
••••••••••••••••••
Meanwhile, with Hiccup, He was alive, a miracle.
Tears formed and fell to the ground, the sword nor the beating could break the love he had for Dragons or for Astrid.
The hand in where he had Astrid's headband turned into a fist.
"A- Astrid, I p- promise to r- rescue you. No m- matter what h- happens. I- I promise"
Those were his last words before he lost his fight and started closing his eyes and falling unconscious to the ground.
••••••••••••••••••
The gang all gasped in horror. Hiccup on the ground may be dead, Toothless and Stormfly waking up from their unconsciousness, and Astrid was nowhere to be found.
They all ran up to him yelling his name and trying to wake him up.
"STOP!!" Someone shouted.
They all stopped to look at Heather, she looked at them straight in the eye.
"Calm down, the first thing we need is to take Hiccup to Berk. Stoick needs to know about this immediately. Second, who's the faster Dragon beside Toothless and Stormfly?" Heather commanded.
The twins raised their hands. Heather nodded and told Tuff to bandaged Hiccup while they Were on their way to Berk.
Fishlegs and Snotlout stayed behind to help the other Dragons.
Meanwhile Heather was able to cough up with the twins. Hiccup was finally bandaged except where he had been stabbed. Which was still bleeding.
Tuff placed Hiccup to Heather. And began to fly faster hoping not to lose Hiccup.
