Disclaimer: I do not own How to Train Your Dragon or Brave nor do own any of the character.

Since it is my first crossover I would love feedback.

This is set after Merida and Hiccup have both experienced their own adventures-movie plots-. Merida is fifteen and Hiccup is sixteen.

Also I am sorry but I am bad at accents so Merida does have an accent that everyone notices and will comment on, but I will not be writing like she does, its just to difficult for me, so I apologize in advance.

Merida point of view

'How the hell did this happen" I thought, fighting against my restraints. My wrists were already red and raw from my struggles. How could pirates' pass through our defenses, how could they reach the castle and most importantly how 'HOW IN WISPS NAME DID THEY MANGAGE TO KIDNAP ME' I thought tugging my wrists one last time.

"Its pointless to struggle princess" say a man outside my cage. He was a tall man not as tall as my father but still quite large. He had a rugged black beard with long black hair that was tied back a few braids in his hair with a stupid black hat on top of his head. His face held scratches and his teeth was horrible.

"Just what is it that you want from me?" I snapped my face in a snarl. The man smirked entering my cage, two of his men standing by the door. As he stepped closer I snarled. He got so close that I could feel his breathe on my face. His filthy body coming into contact with mine.

I growled and the man laughed "first we will hold you for ransom, and when your father gives us the all the money we could ever dream of we will take you far far away. After all my crew could use a lass like you something feisty and young." He leans in closer his hand resting on my waist and moving up slowly. It sickened me to have his hands on me and without thinking I lunged as much as I could with my hands and legs bond to a wall. I bit as hard as I could on his nose since that was the only thing I can reach.

The man shouted in pain wrenching himself away from me. I smiled in my small victory as I saw blood erupting from my bite. Spiting some of the blood that was in my mouth by his foot. The man growled at me and before I could grow to confident he slapped me hard across the face.

My head hit the wall that was trapping me and my cheek stung. There was no doubt that it was going to bruise, but I bit my lip. I refuse to let my captor enjoy my suffering. The man growled grabbing my head roughly bringing it closer to his face.

"You are going to regret that princess. The only reason you aren't now is because I need you healthy for ransom, but once your father gives me what I want you are MINE and believe me princess you will regret this." The look in his eyes made me nauseas, but it also brought forth a small piece of fear. I knew what this man was implying, and I could only pray to the spirits that I could some how make it out of here in tact.

As I began to worry about my future this man dragged my face forward pulling me into a rough disgusting kiss. As he tried to shove his tongue in my mouth, I bit down as hard as I could. I could taste blood but still I didn't let it go. That was until a punch to the stomach caused me to gasp releasing his tongue. The man snarled again "just you wait princess." His voice was low and it held a dark promise. I spat in his face the spit mixed with his blood. He snarled punching my in the stomach again this time bringing me to my knees and walked out of my prison. Slamming the wooden door behind him. Footsteps retreating to the rest of the ship.

It was only after I was sure they were gone that I let out a small whimper and as hard as I tried I could not keep the tears back. I refused to sob incase one of the crew heard me. 'At least my brothers are safe, at least mom is safe.' I thought, taking a deep breath my ribs aching from the previous hits. I'm not sure where I was or where we were going, only that we were on a boat leaving Dunbroch.

*Some time later*

I was trying to be brave, but it was hard not to panic. There were no windows and no light so I could not tell how much time had passed. The crewmembers came irregularly so it's not like I can base it on his schedule.

To keep from going insane I though back to all my princess lessons. I laughed silently to myself 'what I would do to be at home dealing with princess lessons' I thought, my stomach growling. My stomach had been growling for a while now and it was starting to ache. I could actually feel myself growing weaker.

"Are you hungry dear princess?" said a man from behind the door. It wasn't the man from before who I was starting to I believe is the Captain of this ship, but the voice sounded familiar. As the man walked in with blonde hair and a heavy build, I remember who he was.

He was one of my four main kidnappers; he was also the one that I shot an arrow at landing in his leg and shoulder. 'I should have killed him when I had the chance' I thought, regretting my inability to kill a man 'even if he does deserve to die.' I thought bitterly.

He walked into the cell, with a tray of food and a cup of water. "Well princess are you hungry," I didn't answer, choosing to look through him rather than at him. A lesson that my mother tried to drill into me 'A princess must demand attention and respect for every one she meet' I thought my mothers voice ringing through my head. He walked closer to the room his fists clenching and unclenching. Before I knew it he dropped the tray on the floor and stepped closer to me. Unconsciously I stepped back.

"Are you afraid princess" he said his hand reaching to his belt. I watched as he pulled out a hunting knife; I straightened myself trying to be as imposing as I can. I snarled as he stepped closer. "I owe you for the arrows princess" he said with venom, "but I think we can come to an agreement" he says running the tip of his blade from my lower jaw to my neck. I didn't move, my hands held tightly as my side.

"You know princess it's been a while since any of us had seen a women before. There are thing your miss about a women. Their warmth" he says running the tip over my neck again fiddling with my necklace that my mother gave me. I tried to growl again, but my voice was gone, my throat tight a lump getting harder to swallow. "Their figure" he says using his other hand to touch my waist bringing his hand to my lower back and moving it lower. "And I think blood for company would be a fair trade." He says with a smile as he leans down to my neck his knife traveling down my arm.

As his breath fanned my neck I reacted. I kneed him in the groin reaching for the knife in his hand, but due to his movement the knife cut my forearm. As he fell to his knees I elbowed him in the face successfully grabbing the knife from his loose grip. As he fell to the floor I kicked him in the face. I was proud when I saw he wasn't getting up. I sighed my heart pounding from the adrenaline in my veins and I thanked the spirits for giving me strength. With the knife in my hand I started to try and cut my ropes that chained me to the wall.

"I should be glad that these idiots are to cheap to use metal chains rather than rope' I thought, sloppily cutting the ropes. It was hard to cut the rope at this angle, causing me to cut my wrist by accidents.

Finally my hands were free and I quickly made work with the rest of the ropes. As I finished I heard footsteps coming, without hesitation I grabbed the fallen tray and hid behind the door. It wasn't long before another man came through the door "what is-" he stopped his sentence as he rushed over to his fallen comrade. Before he could turn around, I whacked him as hard as I could with the tray.

He went down without much problem and without wasting any time, I ran out of the room down the dark hallway. I was scared of what might await me on the rest of the ship, but I had no other choice. 'I would rather die than be their prisoner' I thought running up the steps as quickly and as quietly as I could.

I reached a door and pushed it open with all the force I could muster. I was really starting to feel exhausted, the lack of food finally hitting me. 'I just need to hold on a little while longer' I thought, running down another hallway and climbing another staircase.

Finally after what left like hours I finally reached the deck. As I felt the cold air, I was never happy, as I was now to feel the winter wind pass through me. However my moment was cut short as I heard shouting.

"THE PRINCESS HAS ESCAPED" "FIND HER" "FIND THAT DAMN GIRL" I ran to the back of the deck, as much as I wanted to take a row boat I knew I didn't have time to lower it down and I didn't have enough strength to row to safety. As I reached the end of the deck I could hear the shouts getting louder and footsteps getting closer.

Looking at the full moon I climbed onto the rail of the boat. I cut the bottom of my dress using the material as a belt to secure my knife and with all the courage I could muster I jumped.
