~~Author's note: Hey some of you may have noticed that I finally (after like 9 months) updated. I AM SO SORRY! I have been dealing with a lot of personal stuff and this story just kind of slipped away from my thoughts during it. But in a way it's good because I HAVE SO MANY PLANS FOR MERIDA AND HICCUP! Also, I am going to be starting a new fic once i reach the end of Part 1 of this story which will be a Jack Frost/Elsa story that I feel will probably break your heart. Oh also, In case you have't noticed, thus far the story has been sticking to the how to train your dragon movie plot (and script) a lot. This story is going to come to you in 3 parts, p1) How to train your dragon timeline p2) Brave timeline p3) afterwards timeline (?phrasing a bit off on that last one?). Okay thats all for now folks please enjoy!~~
Merida sat with her back to the door, sharpening her arrows menacingly. She was irritated with Hiccup for that lousy excuse of a training session and she had been holding back her Scottish temper to long for to long now. Just then she heard the door to the house open and bang close.
"Hello Hiccup." She said with a chill that rivaled that of Berk's.
"Hey Mer, I was just dropping off my stuff from training and then gonna go help Gobber out." Hiccup said distractedly.
"Oh really?" she said slowly turning around on the stool to face him, the fire in her eyes growing.
"Yah, he said he needed an extra hand today, which is understandable seeing as he only has one." Hiccup tried to joke.
"I don't care." Merida said slowly standing up, her long green dress brushing the floorboards as she stepped closer. "What was that all about?"
"What was what?"
"You know Hiccup, don't lie to me!"
"Look if you're angry about the Astrid thing…"
"What? You think I'm jealous of that twat? I don't care what you do with her, but I care if a dragon kills you during practice! If you get killed in practice you will never get to kill the dragon that will let you move on and lead that better life you wanted!"
"It was just a slip up of concentration, leave it be!" Hiccup began to turn.
"No I wont! Hiccup you have to be careful you have to be alert you need to care!"
"But I don't care Merida! I don't care about killing dragons! I will never be good with them so I might as well stop."
"Hiccup-"
"No Merida, leave it."
Merida watched in dismay as he banged out the door and out of sight. She humphed to herself and sunk moodily back onto the stool. She blew some hair out of her face as she thought bitterly about how ridiculous Hiccup was. He didn't get it at all and it was infuriating. He just made her so angry and that just made her thoughts muddle together and she hated it. She let an exasperated sigh escape from her lips. She was supposed to be killing dragons not worrying about incompetent Vikings!
