Chapter 7, enjoy ;)
"Now for Merida's memory , we'll see her precious moments and her hardest moments, alright lets take a look." "Oh and one more thing, Baby Tooth is with Hiccup showing you these memories but he doesn't need to see his own memories, he already knew them." Then Tooth opened Merida's tooth holder, revealing the treasured moments of the archer's life.
Merida's Memories
In the forest of Scotland in the kingdom of Dunbroch, there stood a camp full of tables, tents, and other sorts of things. Under on of those tables was a little six year old girl with crazy let go red hair giggling as she heard her mother laugh.
"Where are you?" Come out...Come out." There walked by the mother, looking around, it seems like the mother and daughter were playing hiding seek. Little Merida was continuing to giggle and shuffled more to the side, trying to find another hiding spot.
"Come on out." "I'm coming to get you." Soon Merida crawled away just before Elinor could find as the mother playfully growled," Where are you, you little rascal I'm going to get you,", the queen looked under the table and found no one and got up in a thinking position. "Hmm, where is my little birthday girl?" "Hmm."
Merida hiding behind some weapons, continuing to laugh, started to sneak past her mother as she heard her state," I'm going to gobble her up when I find her." Merida could have successfully escaped before her mother turned around, yelped seeing Merida behind her as she giggled and lunged towards her while the little girl pretended to act scared and ran but her mother caught her.
"I'm going to eat you." Then Elinor playfully pretended to eat Merida, ticking the young girl who was trying to escape from the continuous tickling before her father showed up, placing his bow on the table, grabbing something to eat before Elinor looked up at him, stating," Fergus. No weapons on the table."
Merida soon went up to her father, taking his bow as she continuously begged," Can I shoot an arrow. Can I. Can I. Can I. Can I. Can I. Please can I ?" The young girl was spinning around due to the weight of the bow and fell, giggling as her father laughed.
"Not with that." "Why not, use your very own." There Fergus showed Merida a smaller bow just right for her as she beamed with happiness and excitement. "Happy birthday my wee darling."
There was a target, with arrows shot to the ground and soon Merida got her bow and arrow ready as her father instructed," Now there's a good one, draw all the way back now, to your cheek. That's right." "Keep those eyes open...And loose." Merida shot but the arrow shot all the way into the woods as she stated," I missed."
Elinor bent down, grabbing the bow suggesting," Go and fetch it then."
" Merida, come on sweetheart, we're leaving now."
Merida ran towards her parents exclaiming," I saw a wisp." "I saw a wisp."
Elinor smiled and told her daughter," A wisp?" "You know some say, that willow the wisps, lead you to your fate." Fergus then laughed," Alright, or an arrow." "Now lets be off, before we see a dancing tagibogo" "Or a giant..."
Elinor lifted her daughter up smiling as she carried her," Your father doesn't believe in magic." Merida, unconvinced stated," Well he should cause it's true." She then saw a shadow emerge and looked up front and screamed, getting close to her mother. Shocked, Elinor looked behind her and saw a bear, a giant one with weapons on it's back with razor sharp fangs known as Mor' Du.
Alerted, Fergus looked and gasped," Mor' du." "Elinor run!"
Elinor ran off with Merida in her arms as Fergus grabbed weapons and began to attack the demon bear. Elinor was on her horse, with Merida, galloping away as fast as she could while Merida looked back, scared and frightened for her father's safety and that the bear could follow them.
A storm was passing by the castle as Merida was on the floor, playing with her wooden horse while Elinor was sewing singing a lullaby.
A naoidhean bhig, cluinn mo ghuth
Mise ri d' thaobh, O mhaighdean bhàn
Ar rìbhinn òg, fàs a's faic
Do thìr, dìleas féin
A ghrian a's a ghealach, stiùir sinn
Gu uair ar cliù 's ar glòir
Lightning flashed as thunder boomed, startling Merida as she yelped and hid under the tapestry her mother was sewing up. Elinor uncovered her daughter, comforting her," I'm right here lassy. I'll always be." The mother and daughter embraced each other as they both began to sing while the storm blew.
A naoidhean bhig, cluinn mo ghuth
Mise ri d' thaobh, O mhaighdean bhàn
Ar rìbhinn òg, fàs a's faic
Do thìr, dìleas féin
A ghrian a's a ghealach, stiùir sinn
Gu uair ar cliù 's ar glòir
Naoidhean bhig, ar rìbhinn òg
Maighdean uasal bhàn
"Wow, that must have been scary Merida, you know when that bear came along and attacked." Rapunzel gasped once the memory ended as Merida nodded. "Aye it was. But thankfully my dad got home safe but he lost his leg and wouldn't stop talking about how he lost it." "And then you all know the rest of the story."
"Yeah, but that was very sweet with your mom, hard to believe you almost got each other killed," Jack remarked, then Tooth revealed Jack's teeth, "Okay Jack, your turn."
Jack's Memories
There was Jack, with brown hair and brown eyes as his sister Emma was calling after him. Jack, his sister running with their mother right behind them. He was hanging upside down on a tree branch as his sister giggled," Jack get down from there.
Then it was night when he was attacking like a moose, holding antlers on his head, making the children laugh. "That's funny Jack!"
After that, he was wearing his cape and holding ice skates, while Emma was pulling him out as their mother stated," Be careful." Jack laughed and answered back with a smile," We will." Then off they went to the frozen pond.
They were skating until Emma heard the ice crack under her, including Jack. They both froze as Jack looked trying to comfort Emma," It's okay, it's okay. Don't look down look at me." but she whimpered," Jack, I'm scared."
Jack answered, trying to walk to her but the ice keep cracking," I know, I know." "But you're going to be alright." "You're not going to fall in...We're going to have a little fun instead." Emma cried as she stood very still," No we're not."
"Would I trick you?"
"Yes, you always play tricks!"
"N-n-not this time. I promise, I promise you're going to be...You're going to be fine." "You have to believe in me." Jack looked around the an idea popped in. "You wanna play a game?" "We're going to play hopscotch, like we play everyday." He then began to play the game, "It's as easy as one...*he stepped on the ice on his first step as it cracked* Woooaaahhh *pretending to fall over, causing Emma to laugh* Two...Three!" Jack hopped to the safe spot of the lake, grabbed a stick and then gave his sister some encouragement.
"Alright, now it's your turn, one..." Emma took a step, gasped as the ice began to crack. "Two...that's it...Three." Jack then used to stick to haul Emma to the side of the ice that was thick, they both stared at each other smiling. Unfortunately, the ice broke beneath him and he fell, hearing his sister gas," JACK!"
He saw the moon, his hair turned white and his eyes then turned blue.
"So that's how you turned into Jack Frost," Eugene commented, Jack then answered back to him smiling," Yeah, if I didn't, then I would have lost her. But I had a great life with them, complete family, happiness and no everyday fears."
"Okay, Rapunzel, Eugene. Your turns."
Rapunzel's and Eugene's Memories
*At the Snuggling Duckling*
Rapunzel used her hair to grab a hook, pulled it down and hit a giant thug who was about to hit Eugene. "PUT HIM DOWN! OKAY I DON'T WHERE I AM AND I NEED HIM TO SHOW ME WHERE THE LANTERNS ARE! BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THEM MY WHOLE LIFE! HAVE YOUR HUMANITLY! HAVEN'T YOU EVER HAD DREAM!'
*The Tower*
After Eugene cut off Rapunzel's hair, Gothel falling off, and Eugene's death, Rapunzel was crying as she sang her song.
Heal what had been hurt
Change the fate's design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
She cried as a single tear fell and then gold glowing appeared on Eugene and soon he woke up. "Rapunzel?"
"Eugene!"
"Did I ever tell you I have a thing with romance?" They then embraced each other, kissed each other in happiness.
"Wow, I never thought you'll be that tough with those ruffians Rapunzel, and Eugene, now that was very courageous." Merida gasped, as everyone nodded in agreement. "So you guys did love each other."
"Of course we did, and well you know what happens after that, I got reunited with my parents and married Eugene," Rapunzel smiled and then pulled Eugene into a kiss.
"Okay so now you've seen your memories of not so painful ones. You each have a happy family and great beginnings." Tooth then held a tooth holder with Hiccup's face," Now it's time to see Hiccup's past memories, now brace yourselves."
Hiccup's Memories
"Come on Hiccup, it's okay the nightmare is gone." "Shh, it's okay." Valka held onto her three year old son, who was crying from the nightmare he just had. "Can you tell me what was this nightmare about?"
Hiccup wiped off his tears and cried softy," T-there were dragons flying everywhere, g-g-grabbing every kid here, taking them away." "O-o-o-one of those monstrous nightmares got me and y-y-you tried to save me, but it killed you...It also killed daddy and...and then it was going to eat me and...and...and..." "It was really scary mommy!"
He then began to cry some more as his mother hugged him, comforting him as much as she can. Third nightmare this week, oh gods why him? "Shh. it's okay sweety, I'm right here, those dragons won't get you. Now why don't you go back to sleep?"
"I-I-I-I can't mommy, what if the bad dream comes back?"
Valka gave him a small smile before she began to softy sing the lullaby.
(Any Naruto fans, you might recognize this song)
My little brave son, Why are you so red.
Because, I had a sad dream last night.
My eyes are red from the tears I've shed.
Swollen as I cried.
My little brave son, Why've you lost your way?
I'm searching for a child whose gone afar.
He can't be found, though I've searched all day.
My sad dreams come once more.
She looked down and saw Hiccup sleeping sounding against her, so she stayed with him through the night.
*Dragon Raid*
Dragons were attacking everywhere, and Hiccup was running out of his burning house afraid as he ran through the village and tried to get to the Great Hall. He ran and ran as he heard his father shout out orders to the other fighters and he ran to avoid the dragons. Then an explosion appeared, causing Hiccup to trip and fall down a hill, there stood an unknown dragon with four sets of wings.
Hiccup's eyes widen in fright, he tried to back away, but he was trembling in fear, as if Pitch was right next to him sending those fears. The dragon approached him, roaring so loud that it caused Hiccup to scream in terror, but he knew no one could hear him. He sat there, as if paralyzed until two more dragons just like the one in front of him appeared, surrounding him.
"Please...p-p-please leave me alone..." Hiccup trembled, covering himself, he wanted to run but something kept him from doing so. Tears threatened to fall until he heard a familiar voice yell,
"Hiccup!" "Hang on, mommy's coming!" There stood Valka, standing in front of Hiccup with her arms spread out, trying to cover him, she knew what the dragons intended to do, so she lifted Hiccup up with a sad smile. "Hiccup, promise me that no matter what, that you never ever give up."
"I-I-I promise, wait mommy, what's going to happen?"
Unfortunately Valka never answered his question, she planted a small kiss on top of Hiccup, whispering," I love you son." Then, without hesitation, she threw Hiccup over the dragons, causing Hiccup to scream and once he landed, he got up, turned around and then he saw it...
His mother was defenseless that the dragons all jumped on her, each one grabbing either her arms or legs, and began to fly off with Valka on their grasp. As they began to fly, tears began to fall from Hiccup as he quickly ran towards the dragons, crying out loud,
"NOO!" "LET HER GO!" "LET MY MOMMY GO!" "MOMMY!"
He stretched out his hand, trying to grab his mother's hand but he only missed her by an inch before she was completely gone with the dragons. He stood there, on the spot where he could have saved his mother, his eyes were already wide in shock as the spilling tears began to fall rapidly. He then collapsed, upset and terrified even more than he had ever been until his father found him since he saw what happened from the other side and wished he could have been there to help.
They all assumed she died so they had a funeral, Hiccup stayed inside after that, laying on his bed as tears softy fell off his emerald green eyes. "Why...Why her..." "I-I-It's all my fault.."
Soon after a month, the kid already began to bully him physically and mentally. Whenever a dragon that seriously terrified him, appeared in front of him, the memory would just suddenly appear, causing him to run. The bullying became more painful, and worse off, his father just ignored him, as if he was nothing but a useless runt.
That afternoon, he was home, alone on his bed as he held on to the small drawing with him and his mother. Soon tears began to fall as he screamed in his pillow in great anger. "WHY!?" "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO MOM!?" "Y-YOU PROMISED YOU'LL ALWAYS BE HERE WITH ME!" "WHY!?" "I'm all alone mommy...I have no one but my shadows..."
From that day on, Hiccup was doing his job as an apprentice at Gobber's forge, working from dawn to midnight, he tried to throw axes, swing swords, and just plain survival skills. "I won't give up mom, I promise.."
Rapunzel looked like she was going to cry but she held it as she whispered," He was so young and they already mistreat him... How could they?"
"Just be thankfully that now he has a better life after making friends with Toothless, I hope you know each other better." Tooth looked at Merida and Jack," Merida, Jack, what do think about this?"
