A/N Thanks for the reviews and I hope you like the new chapter, so enjoy.
Opening my eyes, which burned like embers, I found myself in my bedroom. I try to move but a sharp pain from my side stops me, gritting my teeth I try to move again, only causing me to cry out in pain. Footfall echoed in the hallway and my bedroom door bursts open as mother, father, the wee devils, and the rest of the royals' walked into my room, worry evident in their eyes. Mother ran up and hugged me, careful of my side,
"Lord I thought I had lost you." She cried,
"Mum I'm fine. It's just a wee scratch." I say trying to calm her,
"A wee scratch? It almost got to your rib cage. You've been out with fever for two days already!" she exclaimed, grief rolling off her aura,
"Well that wasn't the cut, I've been sick for a while from riding in the cold but I didn't think it was this bad." I explain my cheeks flushing in embarrassment. My hand falls to my waist, fingers playing with the bandage. My mother stands, to address the audience,
"Well it seems Merida is quite under the weather, so you can either choose to stay here until she is better or to celebrate the solstice without her. You may have until sundown to decide." They all bow at me and then exit my room, assuming that they are all gone I try to move again, biting by lip to keep back the cries so hard it starts to bleed,
"I wouldn't do that if I was you." Percy's voice comes from next to me and I jump, letting out a little screech of pain. Percy gathers my legs and slides them back onto the bed pulling the blanket up to my chest, tucking me in. He turns to leave but I grab his hand, tingles take over mine as we touch, he stops,
"Don't go Percy, please." I beg tugging him back, he sighs and pulls up a chair to my bed, without letting go of my hand, as he takes a seat.
"You need to rest Merida, so you can get better." He says, his free hand cups my face,
"But I'm fine!" I protest crossing my arms over my chest, ignoring the pain. He tilts my head up so that I'm looking into his light green eyes that are tinged with concern,
"For me?" he asks, I pout thinking of a way to get something from this, and then it hits me.
"On one condition, I will rest" I say,
"What's the condition?"
"Kiss me" his jaw drops but he quickly recomposes,
"Are you sure you want that, I mean I've heard the story of how you are against marri-" I cut him off with my kiss, since I was getting impatient, his other hand cups my other cheek. He pulls back a little,
"How rude, you shouldn't cut a prin-" I cut him off again,
"Shut up and kiss me already" and he does. I have never felt the butterflies in my stomach like this before and it meant only one thing. I Merida, who brought an ancient curse upon her mother to escape marriage, am in love with Percy prince of Samash.
A/N: This is just a little fluff chapter, I know that it's really short but I thought it was better than nothing. Happy new years and I hope you enjoyed. I will try to post a new chapter and longer chapter soon, please review, and comments, questions, or idea's you have for me and I will return any review I get from here on out.
