When JoJo rowed the boat to the shore, Merida was confused as to why he pulled away from their attempted kiss and wanted to go back to shore so suddenly. She saw he picked up his backpack.

"Everything's okay, I just need to take care of something."

Merida forced herself to smile. "Okay."

JoJo gave a reassuring smile and turned to walk. He made it to where Percy and Vince where.

"Okay, guys, here you go."

JoJo tossed the backpack at Percy's feet.

"I wish you the best."

JoJo went to turn and walk back, but Vince grabbed his arm, stopping him.

"We're not finished here!"

JoJo raised an eyebrow.

"We heard you found something. Something much more valuable than a measly crown. We want her, instead!"

JoJo's eyes widened. He knew exactly what they were talking about.

Merida leaned against the boat, twirling a loose strand of hair. The sound of feet kicking a stray rock caught her attention. Turning her gaze to where JoJo walked towards, she saw a dark silhouette walking towards her in the faint moonlight.

"Took you long enough. I was starting to think you ran off and left me with the crown."

Fear entered Merida as she saw a second figure appear next to the first one. Not only that, but as they got closer, she realized they were bigger than JoJo. Two evil looking whos stared back at Merida.

"He did."

Merida frowned. "What? No! He wouldn't."

"See for yourself."

Percy pointed out to a boat taking water in the middle of the lake. Merida could see JoJo was driving that boat. "JoJo!" He didn't turn and answer her call. "JoJo!" Still nothing. Merida felt heartbroken.

"Fair trade, if you ask me."

Merida turned to Vince.

"A crown for the girl with the magic hair."

Merida gasped. JoJo traded her for the crown. Was she nothing to him?

Vince turned to his brother. "How much do you think people would pay to stay young and healthy forever?"

Percy laughed and opened a sack, large enough for Merida to fit in. He started walking towards her.

"No! Please! No!"

Merida turned and ran. As she turned a corner, a lone log grasped her hair, stopping her run. 'Curse this hair!' She tugged at her thick braid, stopping when she heard two loud thuds.

"Merida?"

Merida heard that voice and recogized it.

"Witch?"

She walked to see the Witch with a large branch and the two whos unconscious at her feet.

"Oh, my precious lamb."

Merida ran to hug the witch.

"Are you alright, dearie? Are you hurt?"

Merida struggled to find the words to say, but couldn't say anything. But, the witch knew what she was thinking.

"I followed you. Let's go before they wake up."

Merida looked at the boat that JoJo was steering. She felt heartbroken and tears flooded her eyes. She ran into the open arms of the witch.

"You were right, Witch."

"I know, dearie, I know."

JoJo regained consciousness and he looked around. He saw he was tied up to a boat in the captain's seat, with his hands tied to the steer. The crown was tied to one of his hands and when he looked up, the castle guards were on their way down to get him.

"Wait! You don't understand, she's in trouble! Wait!"

Angus saw the guards taking JoJo to the prison, while across the lake, he saw Merida walking into the woods with a strange woman.
