Chapter 3: Framed
Merida's POV
That night, we stopped along the way to the Castle of Corona to spend the night.
We were sitting around the fire, enjoying ourselves. Jack was telling one of his outrageous stories.
"And then how I became the Guardian of Burgess."
Rapunzel, Hiccup, and Taylor gasped. I just rolled my eyes.
"Oh please, you just made it snow. Just face it, without your powers, your useless." I said.
"I'm totally useful without my powers." Jack said standing firm.
"Oh really?"

"Well I think Merida wins this one." Hiccup said as we finished. I blushed.
I've had a huge crush on Hiccup for the longest time. But the problem was he was always hitting on other girls to pay any attention to me.
"Oh come on, I had that!" Jack said frustrated.
Taylor was just laughing. Rapunzel was smiling about the musical number.
Toothless was asleep next to Hiccup.
Just then, Toothless head shot up. He stared to growl.
"What is it bud?" Hiccup said looking around.
Suddenly the bushes exploded. Men in Corona uniforms charged us.
I grabbed my bow and quiver. I aimed at one of the soldiers.
"Merida, don't!" Hiccup yelled.
Hiccup walked out in front and put up his hands. The soldiers stopped.
Then a soldier burst through the bush on a horse.
"What are you doing? Attack them!"
The men just looked at each other.
"But sir, they surrendered."
"I DON'T CARE! KILL THEM! But not the blonde one."
I immediately jumped in from of Rapunzel. I shot arrows at the charging soldiers.
"Get on the dragon!"
Rapunzel ran over and jumped on Toothless.
I whistled. Angus came running over. I jumped in him and rode over to Taylor. I grabbed her and pulled her on.
The soldier on the horse started shooting his crossbow at me. I aimed my bow and shot him in the arm.
I looked over at Toothless. He was surrounded. The guards were throwing net over him. Rapunzel looked terrified.
"Taylor?" I nodded her.
"Got it." She winked.
I urged Angus forward. Angus took off on a dead run towards the soldiers. Taylor laid on the back of the horse. The soldiers jumped out of the way as Taylor cut the ropes. Toothless got out of the nets and blasted at the soldiers. They dodged out of the way.
Hiccup jumped on behind Rapunzel and flew off. Jack made a ice wall to slow them down. We took off through the forest.
"What now?" Taylor asked.
"I'll ask Hiccup." Jack said as he flew up.
We rode on until Jack came back.
"Meet at the transport. We're going to Berk."
I turned Angus in that direction.
We came out to the clearing to where a bunch of Monstrous Nightmares that were hooked up to the transport, ready to take off.
The transport was an old Viking ship that was modded to carry us non flyers. Hiccup tamed and trained the four Monstrous Nightmares to carry us back and forth.
I got off Angus and lead him onto the transport. He walked right into his stable.
Jack floated down with Rapunzel. He laid her down on the floor of the transport. She seemed to be unconscious.
Taylor ran over to the lead dragon, Fury, and got on him. They lifted off. The other dragons followed. The transport lifted into the sky.
Rapunzel woke up a couple minutes later.
"What's going on?" she asked as she rubbed her head.
"We're heading to base."
"Where?"
"Berk."
Well this is getting intense
