-Hiccup's P.O.V.-

"So, are you going to tell me how to tame a dragon now runt?",he growled holding a whip threatingly.

I was hung from the ceiling, chains wrapped around my wrists, cutting off the blood flow.My back had stung,however now it felt numb.I could feel my blood fall from my back onto the floor.My throat hurt ,my back ached ,my arms ached but mostly my heart ached to be back with Toothless.

Despite how much pain I felt, I could still speak although weakly."Burn in hel",I choked out, then yelped as he whipped me again.

"You're interesting you know?Most people would have broken by now.After 6 months you're still strong...I've broken heroes who've seen war, i've even broken those those of your kind.Vikings who think they're invincible but just from several lashes they break",he said circling around me ,I could see my blood dripping from the whip he held."You ,however, are nothing but a walking fishbone ,yet you manage to keep living even in these ...conditions",he gestured to the whole room.

This room, the"Torture Room"is a place I'll probably never forget ,chains on the wall ,blood stains on the wall ,a table on the other side of the room with chains, knifes, swords ,basically any type of weapon.Dry blood on the floor.

Even I'm surprised by how long I've lasted being tortured ,tortured to spill everything that I've learned about dragons.I guess it's because I know Toothless will find me ,even if it's been about half a year since I've last seen him.

I haven't lost hope in my only friend.

"So in order for you to keep living I suggest you either spill out your secrets ,or you tame dragons for us",he said ,inspecting the whip he held ,the whip with my blood on it.

I said nothing.

I knew what would happen if I 'tamed' dragons for them.They'll use the dragons as weapons for war ,just objects ,not the loving creatures they really were.There is no way I'll let them be used for war.

"Nothing to say,huh? You should be grateful the General has allowed you to live for so long,normally he'll let the prisoner live for at least a week before they're...eliminated",he chuckled darkly,"however his patience is wearing thin.Sooner or later he'll request for me to get rid of you,if you don't cooperate with us soon.

He's a fool to think I'm afraid of death,before I met toothless,I was dead to the world,I was like a walking,talking corpse with no meaning to the world.

I was known as "Hiccup the Useless" by my people ,treated as nothing but a disappointment by my father.

I was alive the moment I met Toothless.

Strangely enough I had cared deeply about my tribe ,which was why I tried to show them the truth about dragons ,but in the end I ended up being banished.

I managed a weak chuckle,"if you think I'm afraid of death,your an idiot".

WHACK!

A small scream escaped from my lips but I bit my lip tightly to keep the rest of the screams inside.

"An idiot am i?-WHACK!- I suppose I am -WHACK!- an idiot -WHACK!- I mean -WHACK!- I haven't showed you -WHACK!- enough hospitality -WHACK!- now have I?"he mocked,walking to the table that had many tools ,dropping the bloody whip on the table and picked up a nice looking knife.

I took the chance to breath, gods my chest hurt, more specifically my lungs.My body felt like lead.

"I suppose I should start now",he walked back to me ,dragging the pointy end along my skin.I shivered at feeling the cold metal.

He dragged it from my right hand, to my arm to my right shoulder."You know I wish there was more people like you, those with a strong will..."he paused, the knife now on my left shoulder ,he pressed slightly ,a drop of blood falling down my shoulder.

I winced.

"...it's more enjoyable for me to break them",he pressed hard ,the knife piercing my skin, dragging it to my right hipbone.I couldn't take the pain any more, I screamed.

And as I lost consciousness I couldn't help but wish I would just let go of my hold of the world,but I know Toothless will find me.

------------------------------------

As the runt lost consciousness, the torturer couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Aww and I was just getting started Richard thought sadly.He threw the knife across the room ,so it fell onto the table.

Richard Dawn,was 27 years old,was six feet tall,medium build,with blond hair and aquatic blue eyes.He wore a simple red tunic,black pants,and brown fur boots.He was a soldier tasked to get information out the runt that hung in front of him.

He was estactic when he was informed,he loved hearing people scream in pain.Loved causing pain to others.If it wasn't for his attitude he would've been promoted to a lieutenant but he thought it was for the best.

Less time to do papers ,more time to cause pain to others.

"Well, that's the end of this session",he muttered before yelling towards the door,"CAROL,DARRELL COME HERE!"

The doors opened to reveal two men.

Both were 23,Carol had messy auburn hair,green eyes and Darrell had short blond hair with light blue eyes.Both wore gray tunics,black pants,with a black belt.They both had a sword and sheath on their left side.Both were of medium build.

Despite the fact they were adults, they were terrified of Richard.

After all Richard was known as the best breaker in the kingdom.

They both felt pity towards the man that was hung from chains in the room.

They both entered the room.

"Good ,you both came this time",he smiled wickedly,making both of them shiver slightly, "if you didn't I would've reported it to the General",he sighed,"...well that would've been entertaining"

"Why did you call us for sir?"Carol asked, trying to avoid eye contact with Richard.

"I want both of you to get this runt back to his cell,get him a healer or something,I don't really care",he waved to them as he walked out the door and into the hallway.

They both looked at the man hanging from chains,seeing the marks Richard made,both on the mans chest and back,his face with small scars.The puddles of blood on the floor.

Darrell sighed sadly,"well, let's get him back to his cell, Carol",he walked to where the man was hanging.

Carol followed.

Soon enough they got him back to the cells,making sure the man's injuries were taken cared of by a healer before going on with their rounds.

------------------------------------

"So ,he hasn't said anything useful yet?"General Adam questioned,stroking his beard.

General adam was a 30 year old man,with chocolate brown hair,with light brown eyes ,a scar running from his left cheek to above his right eye.He had a large build.

"Nah, not yet,but I have an idea to get him to tell us how to tame the beasts",Richard responded.

General adam sat quietly for a moment before saying,"I'm afraid that won't be necessary Richard,it's obvious he won't tell us anything."

"So?",Richard asked him,looking confused.

"We don't have any use for him...get rid of him"General Adam said,"now if you'll excuse me I have to meet with the Queen".

General adam left the room.

A wicked smile appeared on Richards face,"as you wish General",he muttered .
