Angus was galloping throughout the forest, his hooves thumping against the moist ground. On top of him was a girl with blazing red untamed hair, curls bouncing everywhere it was hiding her tears sliding down red rosy cheeks. Her eyes were an ocean blue flowing with sadness at the time she held on tightly to the gigantic horse. The 16 year old girl, also known as Merida was running away from her home, it was a castle because she was a princess. She never acted princess like, so she lacked socializing and never seemed to fall in loved. It angered her mother a lot so she was put to be betrothed. Merida wanted to find love in her own time, but when she heard three princes were going to fight for her hand she freaked.
Now here she is griping onto the horse's mane and feeling like everything was on her shoulders. She then felt thrown over as her body slammed onto the cold ground. Her eyes moved up as her curly hair was whipped back. Merida picked herself up as her voice choked out, "Angus!" her thick Scottish accent heard through the stones circled around her. She felt a wind fly by her as the neigh of her horse was heard. A blue flame swirled in front of her, her blue eyes lit up with the whisps reflection in her eyes. Her hand reached out to touch the unique creature, but it disappeared forming more in a path along the forest trees.
Merida was running further into the forest after the wandering whisps as her galloping horse followed her. Eyes beaming with excitement had a tint of curiosity in it, feet missing dangerous branches and tree trunks. The whisps stopped appearing; her leg reached the last whisp as it disappeared into thin air. Merida seemed confused as she was standing in a clearing with fog slowly moving across the sky. She sniffed a disgusting smell, she started to cough as she creaked out, "Wha' is tha' horrible-"
THUMP!
The princess body fell onto the ground making it seem ever so quiet as the horse neighed, but stopped shortly after as no reply was heard. A white flash burst into the sky showing nothing in the young girls' vision. She opened her eyes fogging her vision as like she hasn't opened her eyes in two days. A boy was standing over her with curiosity, his green forest eyes scanning her suspiciously. His voice was cracking as he spoke softly, "You're not from here are you?" Merida nodded slowly, "Is it tha' obvious?" The boy chuckled holding his hand out to help her up, she politely took it brushing off the dust on her ripped up dress. The boy smiled, "My names, Hiccup." Merida giggled quickly apologizing after, and then replied, "My names, Merida."
Hiccup looked over his shoulder after hearing a crunch of a branch, just realizing it was a rabbit, turning back around he continued their conversation, "So, Merida, how'd you get here?" Merida sighed, her head falling to the ground, "Hoping you would know tha'..." Hiccup nodded his head slowly, the thick tension was broken by Merida's soft voice, "So, being on this mysterious place, could you tell me where I am?" Hiccup awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, "Oh! Right, this is Berk. I'm guessing you're from Scotland?" Merida smiled slightly, "I've never heard of Berk..." avoiding the thing about Scotland finding it obvious.
Hiccup chuckled, "It's the worst Viking Island ever. I mean-" Merida shushed him almost instantly, "Did you say Viking!?" Hiccup nodded confusingly, "Scotland, and are NOT allies!" Hiccup inhaled slowly, "Oh…" Merida angrily shook her head, as Hiccup kept thinking of a way to keep her calm, "I thought the clothes made it obvious…" Merida sat down on the ground head in hands, "My mum told me Vikings were huge and mean." Hiccups eyes gazed at the ground, "Guess I'm always the odd one out." He glanced upwards towards the woods hearing a growl. A black figure pounced on Hiccup as Merida screamed, "Hiccup!"
