Freedom

Imma go ahead and state the obvious. I didn't draw this but I also don't know who did soooo. Also this werewolf is basically what Hiccup's full form looks like, minus his mark which will be revealed later on

HICCUPS POV

The voices got louder and more demanding, the food and water I got was less due to my reckless actions and it was eating away at the already thin rope holding my sanity and my soul together.

It was cold and dark like it always was. And lonely too, so lonely, Astrid didn't come by again. But why should she? I'd just hurt her again.

I spent every waking hour pacing back and fourth trying to find a harmless way to appease the voices in my head. Of course I had zero ideas that matched the harmless rule and what was worse was that every time I thought about it the more I wanted to choose the violent course of action.

I couldn't sleep, it was dragging me down more and more, the guards wouldn't speak to me, that was a given considering they were guards, but I knew it was mainly cause they were scared of out their wits.

The nights after 'the incident' got longer and harder for me, the moons bright white gaze taunting me with freedom and the excitement of the hunt. I knew more and more each day that violence would be the way out.

But why aren't I already out, you might be asking, it's been more than three days, well why do you think? I assaulted two warriors and attempted to violate the other, Why else?

I sighed as I finally rested and sat on the platform to rest from pacing all night. The cold, uncomfortable plank making the most simple action resented, But it's the best I had.

I sat and pondered the same things I have been for..... what about one and a half weeks now? Yeah that's how long I've been in prison. I moved to another cell, a more sturdy and depressing cell because I tore open the other one. It was the darkest one, where my eyes were the only things you could see of me, and the last thing you'd want to see at the same time.

I couldn't feel much anymore, I mean I could feel pain. But sorrow and fear had been used dry. To the point I couldn't feel them. Well I could barely feel them. The cold was something I had grown used to over the course of my whole life, with well you know. Berk being cold since the dawn of Vikings. But this cold was a new kind, the cold of being alone when your used to being with somebody else, the cold of pain and indecision of a choice that can tear your life apart from the inside.

oOo

I sat in silence, rocking back and forth to try and block out the voices until the door into the prisoner opened, in came three figures, they weren't guards that I knew so I sprung up and stood at the back wall facing the cell door. The figures got closer to reveal: Astrid, Stoick, and Snotlout. Unintentionally I growl a deep guttural growl that halts them in their tracks. I stop growling letting them get closer.

They reach the door, they green light from my eyes lighting their faces dimly. It illuminated the faces of fear, and sadness written all over. "What do you want?" I spat as Stoick came to the door "your free son, your sentence is over." He spoke solemnly, I was shocked to say the least "N-no NO you can't let me out!" I yelled at my father, as silent tears fell down his cheeks "y-you don't understand son, we- we're letting you go t-to the wild. It's to late to cure you s-so we're letting you go." He continued as more tears fell

I walked slowly to the cell door, I touched the cold bars "when?" Is all I said, he nodded and turned the key and unlocked the cell. Astrid and Snotlout jumping back to avoid me as I walked out of the Thor forbidden cell. The guards grabbing my wrists and escorting me threw the door into the night. The moon's light making the wolf in me stir.

They took me to the plaza where the village had gathered "wait dad wh-what is happening?" I stuttered, a platform stood on display to the village, an executioner stood beside the block, I began thrashing realizing the cruel fate awaiting me. "HEY NO! IM SUPPOSED TO BE FREE! LET ME GO!" I roared in desperation

"I'm sorry son." Was all my father said, I snapped my head towards him "YOU LYING, CHEATING BASTARD!! LET ME GO!" I roared at him as he looked away in sorrow and shame, Astrid sobbing like no one was watching, Snotlout was trying not to.

I got to the block, the crowd jeering and booing at me: MURDERER! One cried out HE'S GONE MAD! Cried another

The guard hitting the back of my knee with the hilt of his sword forcing me to kneel as I yelled out in pain. Stoick walked forward, sniffling before speaking "HICCUP HORRENDOUS HADDOCK THE THIRD!" He boomed to the crowd "YOU ARE CONDEMNED OF MURDER, ASSAULT, AND ATTEMPT
OF RAPE!" He continued as I winced at remembering all those things I did and at the ever roaring crowds "YOUR PUNISHMENT IS DEATH!" He booms out again, his voice cracking with anguish "WHAT ARE YOUR LAST WORDS?!" He asks as the crowd silences

I thought there's nothing I can say to get out of this, I might as well go out with a bang, but I sure as hel am not going to die

"I WAS PROMISED FREEDOM! I DEMAND JUSTICE! THIS IS UNRULY AND I SURE AS HEL AM NOT DYING AT THE FEET OF AN UNWORTHY, LYING CHEIF!!" I roared as I used all my strength to push the guard holding me down off, I burst up and the crowd roared in anger.

I tore my manacles off, bringing my guard up to fight the guards rushing towards me, one brought his sword down to slash me, but I dodged out of the way of the blade, it's sharp edge burying itself into the wood for a difficult retrieval, I kicked his arm with all my might, hearing a snap and the mans roar of pain as he held the newly twisted limb, I pulled out the blade then proceeded to slash the man across his chest, his blood pouring from the newly founded wound like dam.

Another man with an axe came in his place, trying to blindly cut me down. I parried his attack and kicked out knocking the man to the ground, I plunged the blade into the man's chest, his screams echoing threw my mind as A sickly smile crept onto my face.

The next two men came rushing forward on both sides, one holding his blade and a shield the other had only his trusty sword. The lone swordsman swung, trying to slice open my throat, I ducked and the blade cut into the other warriors shield. I jumped up, quickly maneuvering my blade to go through the mans throat, his mouth gurgling with the red fluids I loved to see. The other warrior bashed my back with his shield sending me to the ground, I flipped unto my back and rolled, just barely dodging the harbinger of my death. I grabbed my sword to parry the warriors counter.

I pushed the blade away, he stumbles back from the powerful parry. I swing again, it slices the man's chest but not deep enough to kill, he recovers in time to parry my next attack.

I kicked his shield, effectively knocking the man down and his breath out. "Parry this you fucking casual." I teased seconds before I stab the man threw his heart, he screams in pain before the life drains from his eyes, and his body lays flat.

The crowd is barely held back by the guards who still stick to their assigned positions, while all the others rush up to slay me, I chuckle with anticipation of bloody battle. One man with a spear charges to impale me, I jump out of the way and grab the staff, elbowing the holder, and swing the staff with such force it throws him off and into the crowd. Two others run forwards.

I held the spear downwards to where it's point was aimed to their chests, I charged letting out a war cry. Sure enough even the first soldiers shield wasn't enough, as the spear head broke through it and into the man's chest, scratch that it was both of their chests.

I heard a roar of fury, I swung the man kabob around hitting the man in the side and knocking him down, I dropped the spear and picked up a nearby sword. I ran forward eager to spill more blood. The soldier was quick to recover, this caught me off guard, he swiftly swung down, just barely cutting my head in two, but it still hit me, the point cutting from my eyebrow down to my lip, effectively blinding my right eye.

I screamed in pain, dropping my blade and clutching the bleeding wound. The man laughed and that. Oh that pissed me off.

I growled as my eyes glowed green, I felt my fangs grow. I felt pains all over me as my guts twisted and and my bones snapped and morphed. Browns fur sprouting over every inch of my body as my body itself grew bigger and more canine-like.

My clothing tore apart as my growing body became to much to handle. My face shifting into the head of a wolf, the pointed ears and the snout full of razor sharp teeth, the fierce green eyes were enough to make a red death shiver.

The crowds yelled in fear, some even running away, the lone guard shivering and praying to the gods for mercy, but I gotta say that scar made me even more badass.

My full form was complete, my glowing green mark glowing, on my forehead apparently, I heard a yell regarding it "THATS THE CHIEF SYMBOL!" The unknown citizen yelled out

My father gasps, I turn to him. "YOU!" I growl. I stomp closer to him "YOU!" I growl again as I go faster towards him, "YOU!!" I roared as I'm running full speed at the terrified chief. I tackled the man to the ground, anger turning me on the man I thought was my father.

"YOU PROMISED ME FREEDOM! YOU DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO DIE! YET YOU AND YOUR WARRIORS WILL BECAUSE OF YOUR INABILITY TO HOLD YOUR WORD!! IM YOUR SON!! YET YOU LIE TO GET ME TO SUBMIT WITH MY TAIL BETWEEN MY LEGS!? I REFUSE!" I roared, I brought his head up and slammed it down "I RE-" I do it again "FUSE!" I continue

I feel I sting of pain on my back, I grabbed blindly at the attacker, grabbing a throat, I hold them in front of me to see the guard I threw out into the crowd. I squeezed until his neck snapped then threw his lifeless body back into the crowd.

The crowd began leaking threw, charging at me to protect their 'honorable chief' upon realizing I can't win I let go of the chiefs neck, and ran up stage, jumping over and behind the crowd. And running on all fours into the forrest.

The smell of pine and nature soothes me. And yet the glow of the moon and my adrenaline keep me racing. I burst out of the trees into the cove, where a familiar black dragon slept. "Toothless." I growled.

His head shot up, he run towards me, but halted upon seeing the wolf form that is actually here. "I know bud they didn't save me in time, it's ok but we have to get out of here fast." I informed the scaly dragon sniffing me curiously "can we go?" I questioned with a hint of urgency.

He smiled his famous gummy smile and let me saddle up, it was then I noticed I had a left foot, I stared at it in wonder before focusing again.

I slipped a toe into the slot and tried moving it, no luck. Toothless cooed curiously "I know bud I'm confused too it's just this." I commented as I stuck my new foot out for him to see. His eyes widened and he warbles in amazement.

I decided to work it like a peddle. I placed my heel down and pressed down, the tail flap opened "alright let's go bud." I encouraged him, we took off, I looked back seeing Astrid, my former father, the gang, and the rest of the village just then burst from the trees. The gang got unto their dragons. I knew this was gunna be difficult "bud we need to go faster, they're on our trail." I informed him with worry.

He warbles and then zoomed off into the gray clouds where we couldn't be seen. And dammit Berk won't see me again ever. That I intend.
