Merida ran to catch up with her family.
But she wasn't really running.
She was just slowly walking.
She was in shock.
From what all she had been through her whole life, this was the worst. She had all these thoughts running through her head. The triplets driving her insane, taking over the kingdom for two and a half weeks, and then she said to herself, "Even my mother as a bear was better than this. At least when she was a bear, I could see her. But now? I can't see her at all."
When she caught up with her family and all of the village people, her dad walked up to her and exclaimed, "Ah, there you are! I usually never get nervous, but I thought you had gotten killed or…" Then Fergus got a worried look on his face. "Where's your mother?"
Merida froze.
What should I tell him?
Should I lie?
Or should I tell the truth.
Well, he'll find out soon enough,
But do I really want him to know now?
All these thoughts were going through Merida's head.
Finally, Merida came up with a decision.
"Dad, I have something to tell you, and you probably won't take it in very well."
Merida told her dad the truth. But she left out the part about the witch.
At first, Fergus thought it was a joke. "There is no way she could have..." He looked at Merida's face. "Are you telling the truth?"
Merida nodded slowly.
"But how?" Her father asked.
Merida told her about everything.
Including the part about the witch.
Everyone was in silence.
And then, out of nowhere, the attackers came to their hideout.
"RUN!" Shouted Merida and Fergus at the same time.
And everyone ran…
So that's the chapter! I hope you liked it.
Also, I'm thinking about ending the story soon. Maybe in a few more chapters. But I'm not sure how to end it. Could you leave me some ideas in the reviews? I'd love to use some of your ideas.
And if you see that I'm not updating lately, it's because I might write out the rest of the story first and then post it.
Again, sorry for any spelling or grammar issues.
Until the next chapter…
Bye!
