Skye woke up in a chains in a cell before realizing something beneath her was moving. She got up startled before looking around, where was she? She lifted her arms before the weight of the chains dragged her down. She was now restricted to one area of her cell. She did her best to get as close to the window as possible before she heard a door open.

"Relax. You'll be fine. At least Dagur won't kill you. He's taken a liking to you." A voice said.

Skye simply stared at the shadow, "I'm as good as dead then. "

She walked into the light, "I know how you feel. "

Skye looked at her before saying, "Who is this Dagur?"

She smiled, "My brother. I'm Heather."

Skye looked at her before rolling her eyes, "I don't care. Why do you have me? I'm not of any value."

Heather sat on a chair and crossed her legs, "You were seen with a black dragon and another person with a gronkle."

Skye muttered, "Fishlegs..."

She only hoped he was alright and had found Hiccup. She hoped Daybreaker was fine.

Heather's eyes widened, "How do you know that name?"

Skye sat down before saying, "None of your business. You've kidnapped me. Why should I trust you? "

Heather looked at me before smirking, "You're feisty. Look if you tell me then I'll let Dagur give you a better place to stay than your cell."

Skye muttered, "I simply wanted to live out my life alone. It wasn't until that tornado haired Chief brought me back to civilization. I said no and he didn't take it for an answer. But I must say, he's one of the most interesting people I've met.... He's very good at what he does..."

Heather looked at her in shock before saying, "You know Hiccup?"

Skye looked at her before smirking, "So you know him too?"

Heather smiled before saying, "Of course I do. He was my good friend. Until I left and came with Dagur. He's the only family I have."

Skye looked at her, "I know how it works when your on the other side of what your family wants. I've seen more wars than anyone my age. At least you have family..."

Heather looked at her, "You don't.."

Skye looked at her, "Nope. I lost my best friend, mother and father all at once before being sold to someone else."

Heather looked at her, "That's awful."

Skye shrugged, "Told you I don't have anything valuable. Just a person staying away from the world. So you know Fishlegs and the gang? "

Heather nodded before saying, " Yeah. They never change."

Skye smirked, " I guess so. Where are we going?"

Heather replied, "Dagur's place."

She sighed, "what could I possibly offer you?"

A male voice came in exclaiming, "Your service."

Heather looked at Dagur before standing behind him, "You are quite a pretty bird aren't you?"

Skye rolled her eyes, "Don't compliment people when you've kidnapped them."

Dagur smiled, "Ooh feisty. I like a chase!"

Skye stood up before trying to grab or at least touch Dagur but it was no use, the chains wouldn't let her.

"I don't have any services to offer." Skye simply said turning her back on him.

Dagur smiled, "I'll let you live if you give me a service."

Skye laughed, "You have servants already. You might as well kill me."

Dagur opened the cage before saying, "Let me look at you."

Skye muttered a few words before saying, "Careful, it may be the last thing you see."

Dagur cackled, "Ah women. I simply ask you become my third in command and maybe more."

Dagur grabbed her wrist before pulling her close. Skye pushed his face away before elbowing him.

"Don't care and I'm not going to do it." Skye simply stated.

Dagur grasped his stomach before stepping out of the cell and replying, "I'm not a bad man. "

Skye remarked, "You tell this to someone you kidnapped. What do you want?"

Dagur simply said, "You can be mine and reign beside me. Besides it's seems you know about dragons. You'll be the most important person I have."

Heather looked at him in shock before stating, "She's not going to do it. Besides, Hiccup will come for her."

Skye looked at her with glaring daggers, "You dare bring him into this. How could he call you a friend!?!?"

Dagur looked at him, "You know my dear brother.. hmm. How unexpected.... Very well, if you take my hand in marriage then I will not try to conquer Berk."

Skye scoffed, "Sure. Sure you will. I doubt he's your brother."

Dagur looked at her before saying, "I swear it!"

The boat stopped before one of his men came down and said, "Dagur, we are here. Ooh is this the prisoner. Hello there, I'm Dungar. I'm available."

Dagur punched his face, "She isn't yours! Don't be a coward!"

Dagur looked at Heather before saying, "Bring her out and keep the chains tight. "

Heather nodded before saying, "Yes Dagur."

Dagur only looked at Skye before smiling, "I promise my princess that everything will be ok."

Skye was unamused before saying, "I'm not your princess. I'm not owned by you. If you want me to work then shut your mouth hole. And if you mention Hiccup or Astrid or any of them, count me out. Understood?"

Dagur double blinked, "I don't take orders from you. "

Skye smirked, "I don't either. Wow. I'm glad we are on the same page. "

Dagur looked at her in shock, "How did you? I never said that."

Skye simply stated, "If you can't get my trust or treat me or any of your people right including your sister, then how do you think you're going to make anything work with you without betraying you. Look Dagur, wasn't it, I'm just stating the facts. Simple as that. Oh and I don't marry anyone. I'm a free soul. I don't want anything holding me back. "

Dagur double blinked before looking away, his cheeks were red. Was he blushing?

Skye muttered, "Are you actually blushing!?!"

Dagur replied, "Of course not. A woman shouldn't suggest such ideas if she wants to live."

Skye scoffed, "Try me."

Dagur scoffed before saying, "We aren't finished. We will talk later."

Skye shrugged, "I guess I hit a nerve. Oh well..."

Heather took her by her cuffs before Skye mumbled, "You brother is a horrible negotiator."

Heather pulled on her wrists before saying, "Silence."

Skye sighed before Heather led her deeper into the island and eventually into a cell. Skye muttered, "Hello bars. You've never looked so fine."

Heather pushed her abruptly into the cell before exclaiming, "You will not say a word."

Skye smirked, "Word."

Heather rolled her eyes before waiting a few seconds. Skye simply glanced at her, "Why did you leave them?"

Heather looked at her wide eyed before changing expressions, "That's none of your business."

"You'd be better off with Hiccup and the gang than here Heather. You'd be happier there and you know it. Just because he's family doesn't mean you should sacrifice that for your happiness. " Skye said as she grasped the metallic bars.

"Shut up!" Heather exclaimed.

Skye raised her hands in defeat, "Very well. I won't say anything but just know that you shouldn't deny the truth. You'd be lying to yourself. If your as strong as you are cunning and smart then you'll realize that lying to yourself is just a masquerade for something your putting up with. So you're right it isn't my business but I might as well tell you the truth so you wake up. "

Heather stood aback at her words, "A prisoner shouldn't talk that way."

Skye looked at the walls before saying, "I'm not a prisoner. I'm a person who is being held captive. There's a difference."

Heather scoffed, "Please."

Skye replied, "Heather don't go chasing Dagur all your life just because he's all you have for family. Sometimes your friends are your family. If anyone has taught me that it's Hiccup. Surely you should know that."

Heather only stared before saying, "We are finished here."

Skye only rolled her eyes, "The truth hurts."

Heather hit one of the bars before saying, "Stop talking. I don't care what you say."

Skye shrugged, "Fine. Whatever you say. But you shouldn't be called friends with a chief. "

Heather pulled on the collar of her shirt, "Shut up."

Skye looked at her, "I can't. Hiccup wouldn't allow it. He gave you a chance. They gave you a chance."

Heather let go. Her eyes quickly softened before she took a deep breath and exhaled. Her lungs released the hot air. Skye wasn't one to persuade but hanging around with Hiccup and having his company made her pick up a few things. They say that the word of the tongue is sharper than any sword and stronger than any shield.  The fact that Skye was able to somewhat persuade Heather into thinking was a pro for her.

Heather only rubbed her shoulder before looking at her feet. Her thoughts were disturbed and compromised. Could she be right? Was Heather living for Dagur, for family, or for herself?

Heather was lost in thought before Dagur opened the door, slamming it to the wall before saying, "Heather!"

Heather looked at Dagur dumbfounded, "Prisoner secure."

Dagur cackled, "Perfect."

Skye laid on her wooden plank bed. It was stiff as a board. She laid there before Dagur said, "Oh sweets.... guess who?"

Skye ignored his voice simply turning her body away. Her back faced him. Dagur simply eyed her waist and curves.

Dagur simply said, "For a woman you are very ignorant. Does Hiccup deal with this often?"

Skye's eyes widen before sitting up, " Why does it matter what Hiccup deal with? Oh wait, I see. Are you jealous of him? "

Dagur scoffed, "Of course not. I am more manly."

Skye wanted to laugh before saying, "Sure you are, if you are talking about opposites."

Dagur muttered, "Silence that tongue! I am much better than that Chief and his pesky dragon."

Skye only muttered, "Oh Hiccup where are you when we need you?"

Skye looked at Dagur before exchanging glances with Heather before saying, "You talk tough but you are dependent on the chief."

Skye looked at them, "Says the girl who left them for a man who doesn't even treat you right."

Dagur simply took a chair and sat in front of her, metal bars between them.

"You don't know that. I treat Heather like my sister. " Dagur cackled.

Skye rolled her eyes, "That's really comforting..."

Dagur smiled, "I'm glad we age- wait, is that sarcasm!?!?"

Skye turned her back before Dagur said, "Your nightfury is quite a creature."

Skye turned her hands into fists, "You know nothing."

Dagur said, "If you help me and join me I will not harm it."

"A dragon is never an it." Skye said, "Heather can teach you..."

Heather looked at her, "I don't teach."

Skye looked at them, "I don't trust you. How do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain?"

Dagur leaned in, "I have nothing to lose. Besides, I'm in love."

Skye rolled his eyes, "Ugh. Don't even."

Dagur tried to caress her cheeks before she punched his nose, "I will get you to fall for me!"

Skye shook her head, "In your dreams. I'll think about it.... but it isn't for your sake. It's for the sake of my friends that I do the service. "

Dagur exclaimed, "Is that a yes?"

Skye muttered, "Its a get out of my face and let me think."

Skye pushed his face away before sitting on her bed.

"Fine. I will give you until the morning." Dagur said as he added, "My patience is thin."

Skye ignored him before hearing the door close and Heather's voice say, "I would do what your told."

The question is: would she betray Hiccup and the gang for the sake of their protection or would she die in vain, like she had wanted too?
