Merida's POV


The cold air through my widow woke me up the next day, I left it open so I could wake up early with the sun and take a ride out with angus before I had to go give up my freedom. But it was too late my mother got to me first, ugh I didn't even have time to myself since the day they told me my "sentence". I would expected it from my mother but my father?! Not even that but giving me up to the enemy ?! Just put me out of my misery! All this anger but I can't get the image of him out of my head, why? he's just a stupid Viking. A handsome strange Viking with beautiful...green...eyes...ugh what am I saying?! No. But what I don't understand is how come he wasn't so quick to gloat about him being the "The Dragon king"? Any lord would be showing that off. But this prince/chief, i don't know, It seemed like he could care less what he was known for.

"Merida your dress is here!!" My mother came in shouting.

I would have expected her to be on my side after the whole bear incident but she seems too happy about this like if it was her wedding.

"Ugh motherrr!" I exclaimed as a covered my pillow with my face

"Merida your going to love it !" She said as she took the covers off of me.

I finally turned to see what the commotion was about but I still wasn't impress just a white dress with a silk cloak with feathers that I wear on big occasions but then something caught my eye...it was some how different, the cloak, it had special crests on it.

"Mother what is that?" I asked confused as I got up to take a closer look. My mother was too busy picking out the flowers until she saw what I was staring at.

"What? Oh that...it's a gift from the chief of Berk, Stoick. It's our crest he had it specially made for you. Their tradition calls for the bride and groom to wear their symbol."

"Hm just like the dragon on that prince's cloak" I said with an annoyed tone as I remembering what I was looking at. For what was to come.

"Now come on let's get you ready" my mother said eager to get me into the dress.

It was hours of getting me dolled up, until it finally came time to walk down the isle, I didn't even want to see myself in the mirror when I was done 'cause I knew I was going to start to cry, my life was over, and I'm marring a man I don't love, not even that, a man I don't even know! But this was for my country. I spaced out into thought trying to not think about what was happening, until it came down to walk down the altar. I was holding on to my fathers arm, shaking, he placed his other hand on top of mine to calm me down but all I could focus on was what was I front of me. Him. There he was the son of Vikings, my counties enemy . The enemy I was suppose to destroy to continue my legacy, but not anymore now I must call him, husband. Putting on a show for other tribes and countries. Rage started boiling up in me but also sadness. Every one of my people looked at me in awe, as every girl looked at my future husband with heart eyes if it was possible, It was wired but it bothered me for a second I didn't know if it was because they were crazy to be interested in a Viking or because he was going to be my husband soon. I was so caught up in my anger I hadn't noticed that I finally got to the alter, and it brought me out of thought, Hiccup reached out to me holding out his hands for me to grab to begin the ceremony. I hesitated but finally gave in, I tried not to look at him. Because it would make it more real I could tell he was also trying to avoid looking at me like too, we were both avoiding to accept this was happening. Finally, which felt like forever, the elder wrapped our hands around in a cloth with their Viking symbol. And that's when I realized this was it...I'm married. My freedom is gone I just stared at it. I could feel the now chief look up at me, he must have realized it too and felt the disbelieve fade away and realizing this was actually happening.

"I now pronounce you Queen and King of DunBroch, and Chief and Chieftainess of Berk" the elder finally announced and everyone started clapping. Me and the new chief quickly both let go of our hands, although I felt a warmth from them, I was scared to feel anything but hate, so there was no kiss or nothing. We just faced our guests with our heads held up high. Until Hiccup finally gestures his arm for me to hold it and I did and wrapped my hands around it. To give the audience a show, right? We walked down the isle and we were married. Forever.

The next day I was already packing up to travel to Berk with my new, i hate to say it, my husband. I would have rather preferred to stay in my country but my father believes a queen should rule by her king and my king or chief is not in my country so off to a different place I go.

We got to the boat, Hiccup was there and so was his father. My parents said their goodbyes to me hugged me and wished me the best and before going onto the boat, they also exchanged a few last words with Stoick and Hiccup. I saw Hiccup trying to help me on the boat and I refused, I have to show him I'm no ordinary princess, but to my surprise he didn't seem to react to it just went on to help out the others get the boat ready. It surprised me but I came back to the realization that we don't truly like each other, i felt hurt for a minute but snapped myself out of it. But for being chief's both Stoick and Hiccup didn't really act superior, of course they gave orders but never were they attended by any of their crew or guards like me and my family, It was so strange. We finally set sail and off to we went.

It takes about 3 days to get to Berk and I was so fed up already I hated being on this boat with all these Vikings. I know my manners weren't too great but theirs were as if nothing mattered. And hiccup well I avoided him and he tried not to run into me also but how could he? He was always drawing on this map of his. I was just watching him when suddenly I saw two big pillars that look like Viking helmets. And the village, It was huge and so different from my home not a castle just big buildings their were houses on top of mountains. Could this be it?

Stoick must of seen my face in awe because he then came right beside me and said.

"That my dear is Berk."
