This is ending two. Sorry I haven't updated, school and stuff :P here you go.
Just as the contest ended
Alec was nowhere in sight, I reach down for my bow but sat back up when I heard a loud horn. "I am Alec Casey, and I am here to shoot for the hand of the princess." Everyone gasped and looked at my father. My eyes were glued on Alec, who drew back his bow hitting the center all three times. I smiled, but my mother was furious.
"What is the meaning of this? Guards!" and two hulking men grabbed Alec's arms.
"I lover her!" he shouted.
I blushed and my mother looked back and forth between us, "How? You two couldn't possibly have met before."
He looked at me, wondering if he should tell or not. I nodded and stood up, "We do know each other."
Everyone gasped, "What? How? When?" my mother asked, taken aback.
"We ran into each other two years ago, in the stables," Alec said.
"We have been together since we first heard about this stupid game!" I spat.
"Merida!" my mother was appalled.
"It's true. This game wasn't my idea. I never agreed to this. Why should I marry someone I've never met? Just because they win a contest?" I went up to Alec, "That may have worked for you, but not for me," I pointed to the ground, telling the guards to let Alec go. "I love him, and he loves me, isn't that enough?"
"I agree," one of the princes exclaimed.
"Same," Young Macintosh said.
"What?" his father asked.
"We didn't decide this, it was your idea," Wee Dingwall said, mostly to his father.
"But she's the princess!" he argued.
"So?" Everyone paused; he had a point, what was so special about me? A title that I was barely fit for?
"Is this really how al of you feel?" Mom asked. We all nodded. "OK then, Merida, do you love him?"
"Yes."
"And do you love her?" she asked Alec.
"More than anything."
"Then I don't see why you can't get married..."
Merida ran up to her mother and hugged her, "Thank you Mom! Thank you !"
"You're welcome. Now, let's go, we have a wedding to plan."
Merida didn't marry a prince, but she married the man she loved, that is all that matters.
True love, it was all Merida really wanted, whether she knew it or not. But now she had found it.
