Chapter One: Hopes and Dreams Begin

The summer breeze flew through the small redhead's hair, sending every rebellious curl flying in every direction.

"I've got hair in me mouth" the child giggled as she tried to fight the hair out of her mouth.

"Well don't eat it lass" her father responded with a chuckle.

The girl hugged her hair until the breeze died down, she then released it.

"What are we doing today daddy?" she asked.

"How 'bout I teach you some archery?" her father suggested.

"Really?! But you said mum told you to not teach me anything a lady shouldn't know" she perked.

"That is true lassie, but I think you should learn at least one thing to protect yourself. You know I won't always be there for you...I wish you had your mother around" her father said in a melancholy tone.

"Do you miss mommy?" thechild asked her father, noticing the sadness in his eyes.

"I do my wee darling, but enough about that! Now, for some archery" he said pulling out his own bow and arrows. His bow was a really big one. It measured about three feet in length. He held it up high and smiled.

"Am I learning with that one dad?" the girl asked in a shocked voice.

"Oh of course not Merida!" he exclaimed with a boaming laugh. "How about...? With your very own?" he added, pulling a much tinier one from behind him, handing it to her.

Merida couldn't hold in her joy. She smiled brightly at her dater as she took it. "I want to shoot! I want to shoot!" she jumped over to her father.

"Alright lass, be careful now. Take the arrow and pull it back, all the way back to your cheek...there you...and now...release!" her father guided her.

"I missed..." Merida mumbled dissapointingly as she saw the arrow zoom way over the target, landing about 10 meters away from them.

"Well go get it, practice makes perfect, remeber that. Also don't forget: Never let your eye off the target, don't blink one single time, you might just miss what is there" he said.

Merida nodded before she went off to get her arrow back. Just as she was turning back to her father she heard a roar and was startled to see a huge bear rising on it's hind legs. She screamed as she spotted it and was going to run away from it when it's paw came crashing down on her, but the hit was rather soft.

"Wake up! Wake up Merida! It is time for you to fix our breakfast!" demanded a female voice.

Merida was confused until she realized it was only a dream, when part of it, just the end of it, which was actually a nightmare. The beginning part, up until she saw the bear, was her remembering her father. He was a big man who always enjoyed archery and fencing among other things. Seeing as her mother had passed away giving birth to Merida, Fergus, her father was left in charge of the small girl. Being a man and all, he brought her up with some...manly traits. He taught her archery, fencing and how to use the sword. Merida was great at all of them, but best of all in archery, she was beyond good or great. She actually had the possibily to compete in tournaments, but her step mother would never allow it.

"Are you listening?! I said I am hungry and I want my breakfast...NOW!" shouted her other sister.

"Coming..." Merida mumbled, slipping out of bed. She put on her slippers and stretched a bit, but before she was done another tell came, from yet another sister.

"Merida! I don't want to be late for school! Today Jackson Overland is coming to our school and is giving autographs before it starts. I want to get there early to get a signature...and maybe a kiss" Merida heard her sister tell, and was also sure that her sister was swooning just at her thoughts.

"Coming!" she yelled back as she walks out her room.

It was bad enough having a sister like that, but three?! That was a true nightmare. She had to wake up to three yelling sisters, more like triplets, every morning.

"Ugh..." Merida groaned as she enters the kitchen, to did every dish was dirty. She had to wash them first and then cook.

"Merida! Merida where are you?" yelled her now waking mother, step mother.

"In the kitchen" she answered.

"Ah there you are. Ok well today make some samon as breakfast for my girls, they are meeting Jackson Overland and I want there skin shinning brightly" she smiled at the thought, as she herself carresed her face. "And make some for me too."

"Yes mother..." Merida nodded and got to work.

She had gotten used to this after years of it and now finished washing and cooking in half an hour.

"Done! Breakfast is served!" she called.

The girls came running to get their breakfast, only to make disgusted faces at it.

"What is this?" one demanded. "I didn't ask for this" another spat. "Eww gross" the last one said as she poked the fish.

"Darlings eat it! You want to look stunning for Jackson right? Well that is just the thing for it" REIT mother encouraged.

They ate it in less than a minute after their mother told them that.

Merida rolled her eyes and went over to serve herself some orange juice.

"Oh Merida, don't be late to work today" her mother sang asshe walked away, possibly back to her room.

"But I have school..." Merida muttered.

"Dont worry about that. You can drop out, seeing as you aren't going to college anyways." Her step mother had actually heard her.

Merida slumped her shoulders. Why did she had to work at the archery club. She needed to do good in school in order to get into the school she wanted to get into. She didn't care what her step mother said, she was going to find a way to go to college. She had begun to work at the club at the age of ten, just to be ableto save up most for college.

When her father taught her archery, and she became really good, maybe even the best, she decided she would go to the best archery school there was, that was also the best academic school. She was motivated to get there. She needed money and good grades. Maybe she could get a scholarship, but with Gothel making her work at the family club, it was hard for her to also handle school.

After eating breakfast herself, Merida headed over to the club. It was about 7 o'clock, so she had an hour to do everything she could before school started.

"Sleep well?" Rapunzel, her best female friend asked her. They went to different schools, but worked at the same place, for similar reasons.

Rapunzel's family wasn't that rich and so she had to find a way to get money for college, but she was also smart and Merida encouraged her to apply for scholarships.

"Kind of...I had a dream about my father, I guess I still miss him..." Merida shrugged.

"It is logical that you miss your father" Rapunzel said, but then changed the subject, elbowing Merida, "did you hear that the famous Jackson Overland is coming to your school?!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah, but I don't get what is so cool about him. I bet he is just a cocky guy who loves the attention he gets. The only reason why he is decent in fencing is because he has money. I bet I could beat him in a match." Merida scoffed at the mention of the guy. "Also! What guy dyes his hair white? I mean how lame is that?"

Rapunzel just laughed. Merida had never been a big fan of guys and Rapunzel was sure she wouldn't just start all of a sudden.

"Let's get to work. I have a lot to do today and I want to get to school on time." Merida said as she began with the usual cleaning.

They both finished and then headed out to school. Merida usually walked over to the club and then from there her best friend, from school, picked her up.

"Looks like your ride is here" Rapunzel called from the door. "You should introduce him to me sometime, I feel left out" she teased with a fake sadened expression.

"Some day I am not running late for school!" Merida assured as she bolted out the door to her friend's car. "Hey Hiccup! You are always right on time" Merida smiled.

"I make it my job to be" he smiled back.

Hiccup was her best friend at school, he could also be outside of it, but Rapunzel was also a great friend to Merida and so she couldn't cross her out. He was also the only one who spoke to her at their school. Everyone else just took her as the poor girl who Gothel had adopted. They all new about her working at the club, as many teenagers went over there to chill and found her there.

"So how is it with your father? Is he still not letting you join wrestling?" Merida asked.

"Yeah...he says I can be in anything else...even drama, but not wrestling..."

"Maybe he is just concerned about you" Merida offered.

"Are you serious? You know my father just as well as I do Merida. He us not concerned about me! He is concerned that if I join I'll make a fool of myself and that will make him look bad. He has been out of high school for 30 years and he still holds the best records in wrestling!" Hiccup exclaimed.

Merida didn't know what else to say so she just shrugged. "Well...good luck?"

Hiccup sighed, "I'll need it."

They had just arrived at the school and were lucky to find a parking spot. They knew the rules of parking and they were that no matter who saw it first or is waiting for it, the one who parks there first well parks there, so they quickly took the open spot and got out.

"Oh look it is fire bush and Mr. Accident Waiting to Happen" a snobby female voice called from behind them as they walked inside the school.

"Ugh, just ignore her Hic" Merida muttered through gritted teeth, pulling Hiccup by the arm.

"Running away? How brave" mocked the blond girl named Misty.

Merida held herself back, but formed her hands into fists. "I swear, one of these days she is going to get it."

"You know? You act like it is me she bothers with what she says, but it is you." Hiccup said with a sheepish smile.

"Yeah yeah...whatever. I have to go to class now, see ya later" Merida said as she turned a corner to her first class.

Merida was concerned about being early to class, not having finished her work at the club, and what she had tiger home to do, but not about the visit of Jackson Overland. So when she accidently bumped into someone, while she rummaged through her backpack to find her phone, she just disregarded who it might be and muttered a small 'sorry.'

"Just going to go by without saying sorry?" asked a male voice, which had obviously not heard her lack of an apology.

"I did apologize" she said and then looked up, to be met with a palr blue gaze.

"Well I didn't hear you" the white haired boy grinned at the girl, "...Frizz."

'Agh, not another one!" she yelled in her head as she groaned out loud. "Well I'm not repeating myself frosty." She muttered back. She knew well enough who this boy was, Jackson Overland, but he reminded her of a certain snowman.

The boy's grin even wider.

"How about I don't let you go until you apologize again, so I can hear you this time?" he taunted, standing right in front of her path.

Merida tried going around him, but he kept moving in front of her. She gave up and groaned loudly. "I do'nt want to be late for class!" she demanded.

"Then just apologize and I'll let you pass" he said calmly.

Merida didn't get why the guy was doing what he was doing. And so she just leaned against a wall and crossed her shoulders. "I don't repeat myself."

Just as she finished Jackson was about to say something, but was interputed by some girls' squealing like crazy, at the sight of him. The girls were none other than Merida's triplet of sisters. They glared at her as they went by, concerned about how close she was to their crush.

Merida only held up her arms in a shrug. She waited as all three crowded around Jackson to walk away to her class. Thankfully she got there just a minute before the bell rang and took her usual seat, which was in the back by a window.
