This new collection will be of all of the other teens interrogations, plus anyone else that people would want me to write.
"Tell us what you know about the dragons, boy," said a gruff voice, similar to an Outcast's.
"Why should I tell you? And what do I get in return?" asked Tuffnut, who had been tied against rock.
There was a long pause before the voice started up again, "You'll find out soon enough," it said as a feminine scream filled the cave.
Tuffnut paused, "Ruffnut?" he asked, squinting to see through the darkness.
"Tuff?" came a hoarse reply, "Is that really you?" asked Ruffnut.
"Uhh, yeah?" answered Tuffnut, "Um, why do you sound like that, sis?" he asked.
There was no reply.
"Ruff?" asked Tuffnut.
Suddenly, something whipped into the air, causing Ruffnut to scream. Tuffnut desperately tried to fight his way out of the ropes, wanting to find his sister. He fought against his bindings, "What are you doing to her!" he yelled.
The person laughed darkly as Ruffnut screamed even louder—Tuffnut swore he heard something hit the ground. He started to sweat as he heard his sister's pants fill the cave. He grew frantic, "What do you want from her?" he yelled.
"My boy, it is not what I want from her…but what I want from you," the voice said, chuckling slightly.
"From me?" Tuffnut asked in a small voice.
There was another long pause, this time accompanied by Ruffnut's distressed screams. Tuffnut's breathing grew rapid until he blurted out, "Okay! Okay! I'll tell you everything!" he cried.
The person laughed, "I knew you would come around," it said, pushing Ruffnut into him. Tuffnut could feel his sister shaking, "What do you want to know," he asked in a broken voice.
"Tuffnut," Ruffnut stuttered, "Don't tell them…please…" she begged, gripping onto Tuffnut's arm.
"If you don't tell me, you're sister is going to get it," the voice said.
Tuffnut took a deep breath, "Hiccup rides a Night Fury named Toothless, they lead the dragon academy…thing. Astrid is the prettiest girl in the entire village, and she rides a dragon named Stormfly, she's a Nadder. Then there's Fishlegs, he rides a Gronkle…and they're both pretty big. My idiot sister and I ride an completely awesome Zippleback, named Barf and Belch—he's completely awesome, did I mention that already? Lastly there's Snotface—er, I mean Snotlout—he rides a Monstrous Nightmare named Hookfang, and they're both troublemakers," he admitted.
The voice didn't reply.
"Umm, hello?" said Tuffnut as he felt Ruffnut's grip loosening.
Ruffnut let out a scream as she was pulled away from he brother. Tuffnut's eyes went wide, "What are you doing to her? Let her go!" he yelled.
The person said, " You didn't give me enough information…so you'll have to make a sacrifice," it smirked.
Tuffnut thrashed, "Take me instead!" he yelled, "I can take you all through Berk, I can spy undercover! I can take you through all the underground tunnels...and I can also show you all the dragon's weaknesses!" he yelled.
…
Suddenly, there was a flash of light as Toothless and Hookfang lit up the torches, revealing his friends—who did not look happy.
"Great acting Ruff!" praised Hiccup, "But, Tuff! What was that?" asked Hiccup.
"That was the dumbest thing that I have ever seen! Oh...er, heard," agreed Snotlout.
"That was even worse than me," said Fishlegs, astonished.
Now while Ruffnut could've been making fun of how weak her brother had sounded during his test, she couldn't help but wonder why he had said those things about Astrid…
"—Ruff? You have anything to add?" asked Hiccup.
Ruffnut looked up, "No," she said, letting her gaze fall to her boots—surprising everyone.
Hiccup cleared his throat, "Okay then…" he said, uncertainly, "I guess we can work on interrogations some other time," he said, "Ruff? Can you untie your brother?" he asked.
"I guess so," she sighed.
"Great," he said, "Meet us back in the Academy when you've finished," he said, receiving a nod from Ruffnut. The teens looked at each other and shrugged as they left the cave. Ruffnut set her torch down and slowly trudged over to where her brother was and began unwinding the ropes. Usually when the twins were together, they would either be arguing or at least be talking…but they were never silent. Well, except for now…
"Ruff?" Tuffnut asked awkwardly.
"What," Ruffnut spat.
Tuffnut tried to make eye contact, "Uh…what's wrong?" he asked.
Ruffnut didn't reply.
"…Sis?" he asked.
Ruffnut sighed, "Am I really that annoying?" she asked quietly.
"…What?" he asked.
Ruffnut sighed again, "You said that Astrid was the prettiest girl in Berk…" she mumbled.
Tuffnut was taken aback, "Wh-what?!" he stuttered, "I didn't—I mean, I don't know about—" he said.
Ruffnut finished the untying the last knot, "Just forget about it," she said, getting onto Barf.
Tuffnut stared at her blankly, "Come on, we don't want to keep Hiccup waiting," said Ruffnut.
Tuffnut scrambled his thoughts as they flew back to Berk in silence. Tuffnut couldn't help but steal quick glances as his sister, who seemed to be quieter than usual. Tuffnut didn't know what he did...but he told himself to never do it again, whatever it was.
