Witness

Chapter Three

Tangled

"Ouch." Was all Flynn could comment after Rapunzel hit the red-haired girl with her frying pan. She'd never seen anyone with orange hair, or heard of people with orange hair. The girl had curlier hair than Mother, unlike Flynn or had wavy hair, like Rapunzel. Carefully she followed the motions to turn the girl around which she had taken with Flynn, turn her head to the side and flick her hair out of her face.

Flynn gulped, recognising her as Dun'Broch's princess, he thought it may have been her before, but now Blondie had just confirmed his thoughts. "Where will you put her?" Flynn asked Blondie, she still hadn't told him her name.

Rapunzel looked at Pascal who squeaked an idea to her, she looked back at Flynn and raised her Frying pan once more.

How To Train Your Dragon

Hiccup jumped on Toothless's back and flew after Astrid, though he knew when he found himself hiding from some guards calling for the thief "Flynn Rider" Astrid had run off. Hiccup sighed, he knew she didn't know the forest after Raven Point which is why she couldn't find him before.

Hiccup shushed Toothless who was growling at a white mare who was just opposite the trees, the mare, who acted more like a hound, however heard Hiccup. He looked through the gaps of the trees and Hiccup started to move away.

The horse then looked to his side as another mare, this time brown and white appeared. Hiccup recognised it as Merida's horse, Angus. Where was Merida then?

Hiccup watched as the two horses analysed each other and neighed at each other before running off. Hiccup shook his head in disbelief. He looked up and saw a flock of bluebirds quickly fly into the sky, maybe Merida had aimed an arrow at them.

All thoughts of Astrid lost, Hiccup descended further into the unknown.

"Ah!" Was the noise Flynn heard when he woke up, he looked around the room, Blondie was gone again, but sitting next to him on the cramped chair was none other than Dun'Broch's princess. Merida. "Yer tha' thief." Merida commented, recognising him as Flynn Rider, the wanted theif of Dun'Broch

"Yer the princess." Flynn replied, mocking her accent. There were different villages in Dun'Broch and as Flynn, or Eugene as he was then, grew up in an orphanage he was surrounded by people with a variety of weak and strong accents. He didn't have a strong accent because of this.

Merida knocked her hip against him as they were tied up, but this caused them to fall to the floor with the chair. "I hate you." Flynn mumbled to her, rolling his eyes.

"Is this..." Merida paused following the long trail, "Hair?"

"Blondie knocked us out and tied us up. With her hair." Flynn told Merida, where was Blondie anyway?

"My name is Rapunzel!" She stepped out of the shadows once more, Merida looked sideways at Flynn, why had Rapunzel tied them up? Why had she knocked them out? Next Merida studied her hair, abnormally long. It was quite strong too, being the thing that was tying Flynn and Merida up.

"Gesundheit." Flynn, still being crushed by Merida replied to Rapunzel. "Now can you please move us."

Rapunzel didn't hear as she was climbing up her fireplace, she moved the curtain covering her painting. "Look this way." Rapunzel told them pulling her hair, this caused the chair to tip so Merida and Flynn were now facing the floor. As Merida was on the left, her view of Rapunzel was blocked.

Merida knew the hair tying her to the thief was loose and she tried to wiggle free. "Do you know what these are?" She heard Rapunzel ask Flynn, while she desperately tried to duck under the first few strands of hair. 'You mean the lantern thing they do for that girl?' Merida heard Flynn respond, just as her head came to the same level as his hips, she'd started to bend and crouch over her legs so Rapunzel didn't notice. 'Tomorrow evening they will light the night sky with these lanterns,' Wow. This girl had a good memory. 'You both will act as my guides, take-'

"Ah!" Merida said as Flynn turned the chair back on its side and Merida got free from the hair. She quickly looked around for her bow and arrows. "Where's my archery kit?" She looked at Rapunzel, and noticed the painting next to her, it showed a girl with long hair, probably Rapunzel, gazing up at a sky of lanterns and dragons.

"Something brought you here..." Rapunzel began to say, "Princess..." Merida rolled her eyes. Rapunzel had heard Flynn call her that. "Call it what you will, fate..destiny." Rapunzel said, pulling Flynn up with her hair and looking at them both.

"A horse?" Flynn replied.

That was when Merida remembered, the wisps had lead her here, the wisps which lead you to your fate. "I'll help." Merida quickly said, and Rapunzel let go of her hair and clapped her hands together.

"Really?" Merida tortled as Flynn dropped to the floor. "Oops..sorry." Rapunzel told Flynn.

Flynn sighed, "Fine I'll help you find the Lanterns," Earlier she'd said she wouldn't give him back his satchel - containing the Queen's crown - back unless he'd take her on the adventure. He'd tried the smoulder, but then the Princess arrived.

Rapunzel unwrapped him from her hair, gave Merida back her arrows and bow as Merida agreed without Rapunzel needing to blackmail her and she waited as they climbed down using arrows.

Merida was climbing downwards, but above Flynn so accidently kept on kicking him. "Will-" Kick. "You." Kick. "Stop." Kick. "That?" Flynn asked, Merida was about to apologize for hurting him, but sarcastically, when Rapunzel came shooting past them, giggling.

She came to a stop at the end, Merida shared a look with Flynn. She kept kicking him until she got to the end and he thumped her. "That's for kicking me." He said.

"I could go running and racing and-" Rapunzel ran past them, completely oblivious and singing.

"Oh nae..." Was all Merida could say in terms of Rapunzel's song.

She and Flynn walked slowly behind Rapunzel and emerged from the cave to find her stop singing and bluebirds to fly away, even they hated the singing.

How To Train Your Dragon

Astrid had no idea where she was, she didn't know how to find her way back to Hiccup, she wasn't sure she wanted to go back to Hiccup, all she knew was she was in a dangerous forest. There were words of legends, such as the one about the bear Mor'du.

Astrid smiled remembering her Dragon training, but frowned when she realised she'd left her axe back in the cove where she'd followed Hiccup to. Great.

Still frowning, she continued to walk forward into the forest, she didn't recognise any of this, and hopefully she'd find someone. Somewhere. "Such as a pub called the Snuggly Duckling." She said aloud, maybe someone could help her back to Dun'broch in there. The pub looked like a cottage and there were horses outside eating straw. Astrid walked down to the pub and as soon as she opened the door she wished she hadn't. Firstly, it smelt like...like the colour brown and secondly there were guys with sneers and big noses, and hooks for hands all staring at her. Clearing her throat she asked: "Does anyone know where Dun'Broch is from here..?" The thugs looked at each other and sneered.

A/N: I had fun writing this chapter, especially the parts with Merida and Flynn. A lot of you have asked about Mor'du and as you know I've mentioned him this chapter, I have to figure out how to fit him in further into the story, oh wait I just got a great idea! Okay never mind, yep he'll be in here and so will the green death in case httyd fans were wondering x (and the stabbington bros tangled fans)

Sorry the HTTYD parts are so short, next chapter Hiccup will have more of a role (for obvious reasons) as will Astrid.

I've Got a Dream song next chapter as well because a lot of requests have been for it!
