Hello my fellow readers, so when we last left off, Edward walked away from the kingdom, only to start following the trail of the Will Oa the Wisps. This will show us exactly where they will lead him to. Make sure you review once you're done, enjoy.

Chapter 11

(Edwards POV)

I followed the trail of Wisps through the forest which was starting to get dark and foggy, I kept following them until the last one disappeared right to where it led me. I looked up to see a small cottage with grass on the roof, and some interesting wood carvings between the doors.

"Why did the wisps lead me here?" I wondered to myself. Then I recalled Merida's story about finding a witches cottage out in the forest and how the witch gave her a spell. I thought that since this hut belonged to a witch, she could give me something that could defeat Alrek, so there was some hope left after all. I walked down the hill and headed straight to the front door, I opened the doors, a bell rang, and in the room were numerous wood carvings surrounding the room.

"See anything you like" someone said to me. I turned around to see a small old woman with white hair and a dark green cloak "There are many wood carvings here, everything is half off" I looked at her with confusion.

"I just followed a trail of wisps that led me here" I said to her. Then I thought for a minute and realized that this is the woman that I was looking for "You're a witch aren't you"

"Wood carver" she said possibly so that she could keep it a secret from me. I suddenly saw her broom in the corner that was sweeping all by itself.

"Your broom, it's sweeping in midair" I said to the witch. She turned fast and snapped her fingers, causing the broom to stop and go to the side of the room.

"Now you're just making up nonsense lad" she said to me.

"You really are a witch" I said to her.

"Wood carver" she said back to me. I looked around the room to see if there was any more evidence that she was a witch, I saw a black crow on one of the wood carvings with unusually big eyes, I moved my arms to touch it and it looked at me.

"Hey, starring is rude" the crow said to me. I jumped back in alarm; the witch heard this and summoned a broom that whacked the crow.

"Your crow just talked" I said to her, and I kept finding several things that revealed that she was a witch (Mostly things that were floating in midair), and she kept claiming that she was just a simple wood carver. After I found out she really was a witch, she turned to me with a usual cranky look like most old people do.

"Look, if you're not here to buy anything, get out" she snapped her fingers and various sharp objects like knives and hatchets floated in front of me.

"You don't understand I need your help" I said pleading with her.

"I said get out" she said to me with the knives coming closer to me, I backed up to the entrance and I still pleaded with her.

"Just listen to me, this is about Alrek the hunter" I said to her. Once I said his name, the witch stopped for a moment, and then she looked back at me straight in the eyes.

"Why do you dare say that name to me" she asked me.

"Because he is threatening the kingdom of Dunbroch, and the king and queens daughter has been kidnapped" I said to her "I need your help" after I told her about my situation, she looked at me and figured that I needed help, as if she encountered Alrek before.

"Well, why didn't you say so then lad" she said to me. Then, she walked out of the front door and snapped her fingers. She reentered the cottage, and the scenery was completely different, the walls now had shelves of potions and mixtures, it was a little dark in the room, and there was a big black cauldron in the center of the room.

"Come in now" she said to me "We have much to discuss" and with that, I walked into the cottage, hoping that she will give me useful information.

(Merida's POV)

I woke up slowly to find myself in a darkly lit room made of wood and stone. My clothes were ripped up a little bit on the sides; I got up from the floor that I was on to find that I was trapped inside a jail cell that was locked from the outside, I looked around to see if anybody else was here, but so far no one seemed to speak up. Suddenly, I heard the doors open and three men walked into the dungeon and stood in front of my cell.

"Who are you men?" I asked them nervously "Where am I?"

"I think you will figure that out quickly" I heard a man say. The three men looked to the entrance and stood to attention. I looked out my cell to see who it was, and sure enough, there stood a man with dark clothing, a heavy beard, and a terrible scar on his face.

"Alrek the hunter" I said, knowing immediately who he was.

"Why yes princess" he said "How did you know it was me?"

"I recognized you because of your scar that Edward gave you" I said to him.

"Ah yes, the boy that you and your family are keeping" he said to me with a smirk.

"Where am I" I asked him.

"You are in the dungeon of my fortress" he said to me "This was built just outside of your kingdom so that we could get closer to it" He moved closer to me and looked me in the eyes with fear inside of me "Listen princess, I don't think that you will keep him with you for long, eventually he will turn himself over to me and I will destroy your kingdom anyway" I looked at him with fear in my eyes but knew that Edward would never do such a thing.

"No, he'll never give in to you" I said to him "He will come for me and when he does, your days of destroying kingdoms will be over"

"I beg to differ" he said to me "How do you think that he's coming for you?"

"Because he said that he would never give up" I said to him.

"Well, until he makes his decision, you will be staying with us for now princess" Alrek said to me. Then, he locked up my cage and had several guards standing between it while Alrek walked away laughing. I got down on my knees for a minute, then I thought about what he could do to my family, my home, how he could lay it to waste. After thinking about what Alrek could do to me, I started crying, fearing that my home will have a similar fate as Edward's.

"Where are you Edward" I said to myself before I continued to cry in my cell.
