Warning: Slight blood/Violence

Mericcup Month Day 22, 23: Black and White/War and Peace

~The battle field~

Merida had to run with all her might as he held the hems of her dress hoping the person behind her wouldn't be chasing her anytime soon. She swore on her breath as Merida heard the roars of dragons coming closer to her, should could only hope or pray that someone or anything could save her now. Looking back she saw the man chasing her, long horns for helmet as he ready his bow at her, it was too late as Merida felt a stung of pain at her shoulder. The arrow gracing the top of her skin, she saw blood dripping down her arm.

Her shoulder sting but that wasn't going to lead her down, only than did another dragon landed in front of her. The rider hopped off with a black leather helmet he had spikes running down the middle, he stood tall as he pointed at Merida and yelled something in Norse she couldn't understand. Merida could only wish she had paid more attention to her mothers teachings since she wanted her to know what the Viking's were saying to her.

Merida could only stand and stare and the man in front of her with his dragon walked closer to her, Merida could feel her heartbeat faster as her instincts were kicking in. She ran to the side in hopes to get away from the two only to be stopped by a black dragon, Merida fell to the ground screaming in fear as all her life flashed before her. The black dragon continue growling towards her as it stood over her body forcing her to stay to the ground.

Merida heard one of the men yell as the dragon stopped growling at her, only staring at her forcing her to stay there, this gave her time to look over to the two men who were yelling at each other in Norse. She notice the dragon was looking over to who must the owner, not even paying attention to her giving her a chance to run. Merida quickly crawled away as she booked away from the three.

Merida could hear the two yelling at her as she continued to run away, with the rush of her heart pumping her blood as she continued to run. Just as her hopes were up her helm of her dress pulled her to a stop seeing the black dragon once again trying to stop Merida from continuing on, glancing up she saw the two men running up to her like before. Giving her a chance she pulled her dress up grabbing the sheathed knife attached her ankle, not giving them a chance to catch up, Merida quickly cut her dress short causing her to lose her balance temporarily.

With that she jumped towards the ocean floor below hearing screams from behind her. Closing her eyes in hopes no rocks were at the bottom she felt the water splashing beneath her feet. Opening her eyes she was she was underwater as she quickly swam to the top for air, as she did she took a deep breath giving her lungs needed air. Turning around she saw the two man chasing her standing the the top possibly not knowing what to do, she smiled at them.

"Aye, ya better go back where ya came from ya trolls!" Merida yelled at them.

Letting a laughed of relief out, she was very glad her father gave her his knife in case anything were to happened to her. Looking left to right she looked for the nearest shore that maybe a mile away and swam towards it. Using her arms and legs her clothes were dragging behind her causing her to use more of her energy to swim. looking back she saw that the cliff was further away then she last remember, but the exhaustion was getting to her. Her eyes were growing tired as her arms were hurting, Merida had no choice to look around seeing wood planks floating about as she grad a hold of it trying to get herself on top of it.

Finally she was able to lay on top of the board letting herself rest or the time being, laying on her back she let a breath out along with a giggle seeing that she would live another day. Though she couldn't help but smile to think she was able to make it, only she only let her eyes close for her exhaustion possibly to get some time to rest. But that didn't last as she heard a dragon near her, quickly sitting up she saw the black dragon with it's rider sitting on top staring in front of her. She could only think how could this dragon catch up to her.

Before she could jump again, the dragon grabbed a hold of her not letting her escape again as the two took her away from her home of Dunbroch.

~Berk~

~Merida's POV~

How could have they came so fast to get me? It was like it didn't take them anytime to get me at all. My arms were tired but that wouldn't stop me from struggling, I struggled and struggled in the grasp of the dragons arms but it as no avail since I was already on land. The two dropped me to the ground as the landed behind me and I felt two men grab a hold of my arms as I tried to struggle away. I saw a very large men, taller than the black rider with a fur cap walk towards me as he said something to me in Norse.

I could only stare at him seeing I didn't understand what he said to me, the black rider walked up towards me as he took his helmet off staring at me. I thought he was as horrible as the rest, but he was very handsome. He had auburn hair with two braids in the back of his head, he was very lean and tall as he walked towards me. He stood a step in front of me as he looked at the man talking to me.

"My dad said. Where are the others?" He spoke in Scottish Gaelic.

My mouth opened wide as I heard him speak my language, he can understand me?

"Ya can understand me this whole time!" I yelled.

He only smiled at me as he stared at me.

"Yes, I've studied your language just in case I was needed to spy on your clan."

"Well ya ain't getting anything from me, even if ya tried." Merida could only smile.

She knew on way or another they will get their way and get her to spill any information even if it means that they will torture her.

He turned to his father and spoke to him in Norse as his dad glared at me, he than yelled at me once more as he continue on speaking Norse to me.

"My father said that if you don't comply with us, well get out information one way or another." He translated.

"Why me? What could aye could give ya?" I asked him.

"Because you are the Princess of Dunbroch, heir to the throne. With you in our hands we'll win this war." He informed me.

"Well if ya know know so much about me? Why don't ya tell me ya name? Scared?" He only glared at me as he stepped closer to me.

"My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. Soon be to chief or clan Berk, I won't let you scare me Princess." Hiccup spat at me.

I only glared at him as I struggled against their men holding me by my arms, Hiccup walked away from me as he stood next to his dad. Hiccup whispered something at him and his dad waved his hand sending me away to where I would be kept prisoner. The two sent be into a cell where they locked the door behind me and I could only sit there and wait.

Hiccup, that is his name? What kind of name is that? What am I going to do now? There no way I can get off this island without a boat and many of the people of Berk have dragons. Either way they can track me down if they could. How am I going to escape? My trail of thought stopped when I heard the doors opening in front of me, I saw Hiccup standing there with his dragon as he was holding a metal try with food on top of it. He stood there looking at me with empathy, as if he felt sorry for me.

"I brought food and bandages for your wound." Hiccup told me.

I didn't know he was talking about till I lifted my shoulder, I notice the cut that I had earlier. That one man shot me when I saw trying to run away.

"I don't want anything from ya!" I yelled at him.

Hiccup didn't even listen to me he just opened the door and locked behind him with his dragon just outside of us, he then stared at me as he placed the try in front of me.

"I don't like you as much as you don't like me." Hiccup stood up.

"How do aye know ya trying to poison me?" I glared at Hiccup.

"I would be in trouble if I had done that, plus it's immoral." Hiccup looked away.

What does he mean immoral? He's the one that captured me and get me here with his clan! Not like he cares about be for anything...

"Why couldn't ya kill me back there?" I felt myself grow tears.

This shocked him, he turned seeing tears in my eyes seeing how scared I was. He must have never done this before since I caught him off guard.

"I-... I couldn't." He answered.

"Why?" I cried.

"I looked at your eyes and I saw myself." Hiccup answered before opening the door behind him and walked away.

And it was like that for the past couple day, I sat inside the cell and Hiccup would always be the person to bring me food and anything I needed to survive. One point he brought me clothes and stood there a flustered.

"I-I brought you clothes to change to." He handed me clothes.

"Are ya going to stand there and watch to change?" I asked him.

With that Hiccup quickly turned around and opened the door for himself which gave me a chance to escape. I grabbed the metal tray and hit the back of his head as he dropped to the floor. I quickly made my way outside at the doors seen as Hiccup's dragon saw me he saw Hiccup on the floor, this cause him to jump onto me screaming in my face. I wanted to scream but I knew it was going to alert anyone else that was around us, what am I going to do now?

It didn't take long till Hiccup was able to get himself up and walked to where I was at, I heard him yell a command in Norse to his dragon and his dragon backed down blocking my exist. As I looked up seeing him glaring at me he grabbed a hold of my arm and pulled me to my cell where I would be held again.

After what had happened to Hiccup on that day he would always bring his dragon with him at all times to come when he would bring me items. Hiccup would never leave anything behind or anything for me to keep, he would only bring me food, water and anything else I needed. He would stand there stare at me then leave without saying a word to me.

It was till one day I finally spoke to him when he gave me clothes again.

"Why are you being kind to me?" I asked him.

"Aye hurt ya and..." I stopped.

Hiccup only looked at me as he stood in front of me.

"Because it's wrong for me to treat you as a prisoner. You shouldn't be treated as one, besides... If I were in your shoes I would have done the same thing." Hiccup looked at me.

Why?

"Aye thought... After what aye did you would see me more as your enemy." Merida admitted.

Hiccup didn't say anything at first he just looked at the ground as I said those words.

"When I was young and this war started. I saw my mom killed in front of me. I wanted to avenge her death, do anything as possible to make your family pay. But the day I saw you fleeing, the fear in your eyes. I saw me, I saw the same scared person that was me when I was young." Hiccup told me.

I could only stare at Hiccup seeing he was telling me something personal that I thought he wouldn't want to, even standing in front of me I couldn't help as though he wanted to help me. I stood up and hugged him seeing that he felt the same as I did, scared. I only wanted to help him understand that I could understand what he felt.

"I-I'm sorry." I told him.

He must of been stunned by my actions because he didn't say anything or hugged me back at first, after sometime he did hug me back in a warm action to help me.

After what had happened, Hiccup and I grew a friendship together that no one else did. When I was forced to work for their clan he would watch me, put on a act to show that he hated me but in truth when we were just alone he would always be kind to me. But soon I grew feelings towards Hiccup and I didn't know what to say to him most of the time he came to me. I thought I wouldn't fall for the enemy but I did. It was till a woman Hiccup knew called Astrid was watching over me for the time being yelled at me for not doing the work.

Being that I couldn't understand her she pushed me to the ground making lose my balance, that was then I lost all control and I attacked her. The battle didn't last long since Hiccup wasn't far and pulled Astrid off of me, that was then where he took me to his home into his bedroom and took care of me. I couldn't help myself and let my emotions get to me as I admitted that I had feelings for him. He only smiled at me and told me that he loved me too.

After what had happened to me Hiccup decided that he would take the risk to fly me to where my home was, even after we argued he told me that he wouldn't let anyone stop him to from coming to get me. So that night we took me home where I was able to talk to my mom and brothers to understand that Hiccup helped me escape and that he and I wanted to end this war by creating a new treaty between clans. With an arrange marriage between the two clans there will be no more bloodshed.

With my mother agreeing we were able to get Stoick to agree along with the treaty, with that Hiccup and I were married where we would have our eldest Eldrid and three daughters. Our story has been pasted down generations to generations.
