Chapter Text
Hiccup was pacing in the cell where Johann's men had thrown him in after they had separated him from Toothless.
As much as part of him wanted to blame Viggo for this turn of event, Hiccup hadn't missed the look Johann had given Viggo when the latter had stop Krogan from hurting him. Add the fact he had been moved from the cage him and Toothless had been in right after the three men were gone...
He would bet both Inferno and his map that Johann had quickly figured out it had all been an act and thus had taken some precautions.
The thing was, since he had been put there, he had been left entirely alone. Even the explosion which had rocked the cavern (courtesy of the Twins he imagined) had happened awhile ago.
So now he was pacing back and forth, waiting.
To be honest, the longer he waited, the more afraid he was.
With the way Krogan had been so eager to get rid of him, Hiccup had expected them to come dealt with him the moment Toothless and Viggo had escaped. (Well he hoped they had indeed escaped.) That they still hadn't, likely meant they were making specifics preparations for that and he really didn't want to discover what exactly they had planned.
His wait was soon over however as two burly hunters appeared and headed towards his cell.
"So were the two of you roped into escorting me or did you volunteer ?" Hiccup couldn't help but joke as the two men came to stand in front of his cell.
Their only reaction was to scowl at him with one of the men opening the cell while the other roughly grabbed him by the arm and yanked him forward causing him to cry out in pain before they forced him to go with them. He tried to fight them off but their hold on him were secure. It didn't help that his hands were still cuffed together as he hadn't dare to use the key Viggo had given him as he hadn't wanted to give away his only possible advantage.
Soon they arrived in a bigger than usual cavern which was bustling with activity. But what attract Hiccup's attention was what in the middle of the room.
He had seen similar contraceptions used on dragons, most often Toothless. Even his father used one when they had his friend take them to the nest all those years ago.
There was just one tiny (or should he say big) difference.
With it's size, it had clearly been made for a human.
Hiccup felt a shiver run his spine as he could easily guess for who it had been made.
"I see you have spotted you new accommodation. I apologise for the delay though. It took us some time to properly set it up."
Hiccup gritted his teeth at the man's casual and business like tone, as if he was merely talking about the weather with one of his customers.
"Cut through the chit-chat Johann. I don't have the time to hear you talk."
Hiccup saw the man's face darkened at his words and he knew at once he was about to regret it.
"Fine. Have it your way." Johann nodded in the direction of someone Hiccup couldn't see from where he was. He began to panic and trash in the hunters' hold as a muzzle was placed on his mouth (from the dark skin he guessed Krogan was probably responsible).
Hiccup's panic turned into full-blown dread and horror as he felt his clothes being torn apart until there was nothing left and he barely managed to not spill tears at the way his body was exposed to everyone to see.
Then, the two hunters holding him dragged him to the contraption in the middle of the room and, after removing the cuffs around his wrists and his prosthetic, they forced him to stand on his hands and knees so they could chain him down.
Hiccup did try to fight them off as best as he could but, unfortunately, he soon found himself with his hands, ankle and even his knees bound to the wooden floor of the contraception with a ring of metal and leather being put around his chest, and another one around his neck. He tried to move but it was in vain as the chains were tightly secure around him.
There was a snort in front of him and Hiccup looked up to see Johann kneeling in front of him.
"Don't ever bother. This was made specifically for you. And if you are wondering why... well you have always seemed to love acting as if you were a dragon, I thought you may enjoy being treated like one, in every sense of the word."
"Oh does that mean we can get riding lessons ?" One of the hunters piped up gleefully and a cold dread settled in Hiccup's stomach as the meaning behind the man's words become clear. His face lost the little colours it had left at Johann's next words.
"Um... I suppose it could make for good entertainment. Still, there will be strict rules about it understood ?"
The warning tone in their leader's voice didn't stop his men from cheering and starting to make suggestions or give each other ideas.
Hiccup closed his eyes and blocked out the comments they kept making around him, especially with how suggestive they were getting.
He just prayed that, once they were done with him, they will simply dispose of him.
Because he didn't think he will able to face his friends once they found him and saw how his body had been defiled while he had been useless to stop it.
