Hi! There was originally another part to this chapter, but I decided to move it to the next one so I could post this earlier. Now that school is over I'll be able to update more often. However, I have an online summer course, a three part project for a class I'm taking next year, and reading for another class next year.

In this chapter there will be other languages spoken besides English. I only know two languages, English (obviously) and Spanish. I apologize if there are major grammatical errors.

Disney owns all of these characters mentioned in the chapter.

Merida refused to open her eyes despite the fact that she was awake. She wanted to let the headache and dizziness subside before she did anything like that. When she woke up she expected to be in her bed, but she felt herself on grass and twigs.

The memory of the picnic came back to her and she realized that she must still be in that area. What confused her was the fact that she could hear none of her family members, or humans from the sound of it. All she heard were a few birds singing here and there. She decided it was best to see what her family was doing.

Her head protested, but she opened her eyes and sat up. Unlike the meadow she had been in before she passed out, Merida found herself surrounded by large trees. Not one human was in sight.

She was alone in the woods.

Merida used a tree trunk to stand herself up and steadied herself. She was relieved to see that her quiver with arrows was still strapped to her and that she had held onto her bow. Toughing out her headache and dizziness, she focused on her surroundings, trying to think of where in the forest she could possibly be. It certainly wasn't anywhere she'd been before.

She knew forests could be dangerous and decided it was best to not stay in one place and be a sitting duck. Predators lurked everywhere in forests. She heightened all of her senses as she moved through the trees, careful not to make too much noise. As she walked she grabbed an arrow from her quiver and set in on her bow, just in case of danger.

After what seemed like hours of walking she heard a twig snap. She turned to the sound, weapon at the ready.

Jasmine's headache had worn off relatively quickly and she now found herself walking in a place she had only heard about in stories. A forest if she remembered correctly. She had no idea how she got here but she knew she had to get out. Her lessons in the palace had taught her about forests but not how to survive in one, and the sun was sinking lower and lower.

She suddenly stepped on at twig and she jumped in surprise from the noise.

"De do ghnothach rium?!" Jasmine didn't know this, but it's Gaelic for, "What do you want from me?!" She did know, however, that the voice sounded ready for a fight. She looked in the direction of the voice and thought she saw movement hidden by some bushes and trees.

"I don't mean to intrude. I'm just a bit lost." Jasmine knew the words themselves wouldn't be comprehended by the person, but hopefully the tone would convince her that she wasn't a threat.

Merida stepped forward out of the vegetation to see a tan woman wearing a two-piece outfit. She lowered her weapon and looked curiously at the woman. Why would anybody be in the middle of the forest? Then again, why was she herself in the middle of the forest.

This was the palest girl Jasmine had ever seen. She had never heard an accent like hers either. Perhaps it was because of her inexperience of the world outside of the palace. Jasmine began to walk towards the girl but stopped when Merida tensed and began to raise her bow.

"I'm not here to hurt you." She tried to get this message to the girl with her eyes. She seemed to receive it as she once again lowered the weapon.

Merida decided this petite girl definitely looked harmless, but you never knew what anyone was capable of. This girl could be hiding a dagger somewhere. But this girl could also help her get out of the forest. She stood up straight and put both her bow and arrow in her left hand.

She put her right hand on her chest and said, "Merida." To make sure the mysterious woman in front of her understood she again used her right hand to indicate herself, "Merida."

Jasmine thought she understood. To make sure she pointed at the girl and repeated the word. The girl gave a slight nod.

Jasmine then indicated herself, "Jasmine." Merida repeated the name and after a slight pause went over to Jasmine and held out her right hand. Jasmine watched as the girl held her arm out and decided to grab her hand. Merida gave it one shake before putting her arrow away and putting the bow so that it was on her shoulder and went across her body to the other side. The Princess of Agrabah sighed in relief before an unknown animal's shriek startled her. The high-pitched shriek had sounded similar to Rajah's whenever he got hurt.

Merida grabbed Jasmine's hand and they ran in the opposite direction of the noise. By looking at the girl's wardrobe, Jasmine didn't think she lived in the forest, but she did seem to know what she was doing.

Eventually the girls came to a tree and Merida released her hand. She pointed towards the top of the tree and Jasmine understood. She grabbed onto the branches and began climbing.

Merida followed. She knew they would be safest in the trees. If any danger were climbing up towards them Merida could easily shoot them down, if they could even climb trees. Wolves she knew, would not be a problem to them while in a tree, but that animal was definitely not a wolf.

Jasmine pulled herself onto a thick branch and rested her back against the tree trunk. Merida climbed onto another branch on the other end. Yes this tree would do just fine and would be fine to sleep in until dawn.

"Good job," Jasmine complimented as she shifted to see Merida on the other side. She offered a smile which Merida returned. Jasmine was so thankful that she found this girl, for she seemed to know what she was doing.

They both sat in awkward silence, not quite sure what to say that the other would understand. Both were very happy for the company though, and they would hopefully help each other get home to their families. Both were lost in their own thoughts when the sun finally disappeared and Jasmine decided that they both needed sleep.

"Merida," the red head looked around the tree to see the princess close her eyes as if she were asleep, "Sleep."

She agreed that rest was needed, but someone would have to keep watch for the mysterious animal. She pointed to Jasmine before repeating the action she had used for sleep. Then, she used two fingers to point at both of her own eyes and moved the same fingers to point to the ground.

She said, "Tha thu a' cur lan fheum air deagh-chadal." You are in dire need of a good night's sleep.

Jasmine thought she understood, but just in case slowly moved into a sleeping position on her own branch and pretended to snore softly to see if Merida would try to wake her up. Jasmine had assumed correctly that she wanted her to sleep when Merida didn't try to wake her. She hoped Merida wouldn't stay up all night, however, the girl needed her sleep too. She certainly wouldn't mind taking shifts with her.

When Jasmine finally fell asleep Merida's thoughts were still going a thousand miles a minute now that she was beginning to relax some. How had she gotten here? Her parents wouldn't just dump her in the middle of an unknown forest, and they certainly seemed worried for her before she passed out. Could her brothers have done something to her food as a prank?

And then there was Jasmine. Merida had the suspicion that this girl did not seem to live here. Her headwear had a large jewel on it, suggesting wealth. The outfit itself she had seen in a story book and it took place in the desert. Yes, she decided, this girl is indeed lost.

Pocahontas knew her forest better than the back of her hand, and she knew that she was not in her forest. She began going purposely in one direction in the hopes of running into fresh water or a neighboring village.

She felt odd traveling in the woods without any animal friends nearby. They had been with her when she passed out, but it seemed they weren't transported with her. She knew she had to have been transported here or this was a dream. If she was dreaming, she had no idea what the dream was trying to tell her.

Something shiny had caught her attention and she looked to her right, seeing a girl. She had a golden crown, long blonde hair, and was wearing a pink dress. She was lying on her back and appeared to be unconscious.

Pocahontas rushed to the sleeping girl and kneeled beside her, "Hello?" This girl looked English, so she assumed that was the language she spoke. The girl didn't stir and Pocahontas gently began shaking her.

Her eyes fluttered open, "What?"

"Are you alright?"

Aurora sat up, "I think so. Where am I?"

Pocahontas answered, "I'm not sure. I had passed out and woken up in this forest."

The girl stood, "It doesn't look familiar to me either. I'm Aurora."

Pocahontas stood with her, "My name is Pocahontas. You look like a friend of mine from England."

Aurora nodded, "I'm English, yes. Where are you from?"

"The Powhatan Tribe." Pocahontas remembered how the men from England described her land. "In the New World by Jamestown."

"I'm sorry to say I've never heard of it. What continent is it in, Europe?"

Pocahontas shook her head, "It can't be. The men had completely left Europe and had crossed the Atlantic Ocean." Aurora stood in shock. She had no reason to believe before that crossing the Atlantic was even possible. There were people who believed the boat would fall off the Earth or that the crew would starve before they even reached any land.

"Oh. Well... Do you know how we can get out of here?"

The Native American thought before looking at the mountains, "We could try to get high up on those mountains and maybe we'd be able to see where to go."

"Sounds like a plan." The two began walking.

"Is that a crown you're wearing?" Pocahontas asked.

Aurora adjusted it a bit as they walked, "Yes. I'm a princess."

"I am too."

Aurora's asked, "You are?"

"In your terms at least. My father is the chief of our tribe. Are you the daughter of King James?

"No, King Stefan" Aurora thought back to her history lessons, "England's never had a King James."

"But that's who Jamestown is named after. King James of England."

Aurora was about to reply when a girl with blonde hair ran to them. She was wearing a brown dress with an apron and she seemed very glad to see them.

Cinderella was indeed very glad to see the two strangers. She had woken up about an hour ago, very confused on where she was. The fear that there was no one for miles quickly disappeared when she saw the two girls conversing. She didn't understand what they were saying, but she assumed it was because they were aways off.

Cinderella came to a halt near them, "Aidez-moi s'il vous plaît! Je suis perdu!" Please help me! I'm lost!

Aurora didn't know how to reply. She recognized the language as French, but couldn't quite make out what the girl was trying to say. Curse the fact that she didn't grow up in the palace! A royal tutor would have taught her the language.

Aurora turned to the Powhatan, "You don't by any chance know French do you?"

Pocahontas closed her eyes to concentrate. Perhaps she could figure out how to speak French the way she did English. Listen with your heart... You will understand.

Princess Cinderella had realized the reason she hadn't understood the girls earlier was because they were speaking English. Her father had taught her a bit, but the lessons stopped after his death. She was by no means fluent.

Pocahontas finally spoke, "Bonjour. Je suis Pocahontas. Voici Aurora."

Cinderella's heart leapt for joy, "Je m'appelle Cinderella."

Aurora put a hand on Pocahontas' shoulder, "What did she say?"

"Her name is Cinderella. She's not from here, like us." She turned to Cinderella, "Nous sommes perdus." This means we are lost. She pointed to the mountains, "On part a les montagnes." We're going to the mountains.

Cinderella nodded, "Je viendrais."

"She's coming with us," translated Pocahontas. She looked toward the setting sun. "We won't make it to the mountains by nightfall, but we should still hurry to get as close as we can."

Aurora nodded in understanding, "Something very strange is going on. More strange than I first thought."

Instead of using say a translator, I researched phrases in the other languages. I understand that there is still a chance that I have butchered a sentence and I apologize greatly if that's happened.

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the reviews!
