Love against War (Merricup Fanfic)

Chapter 1

Merida POV
It's been ages since we had a war. Dads been plannin' this for a while now and he has decided that it is official. He has informed our enemy a war shall happen at noon in a week from now. I was excited for a war! I know I shouldn't be but I just can't help being excited!! I have a chance to use my bow for something, an Actual cause! Instead of shootin' at targets and actually shootin' somethin'!! I will also be able to show off Ma' mad archery skills! So I decided to sharpen my arrows and obviously get some more, also cleaning my bow and getting a new string or whatever it is on the bow.
"Merida!!" I heard someone shout. I look up from sharpinin' arrows.
"Merida! Your brothers have told me you have skipped revising for your speech the day before the men set off!!" I heard the same voice shout. As I can tell it's my mother.
"But mother I will be going with them!! You give the speech. Your the queen for crying out loud." I snapped.
"Don't be cheeky Merida and.. Wait? What do you mean your going with them!! No. You. Are. Not. Merida you are a princess!! You need to stay here safe while they do the fighting. I don't want my favourite daughter get hurt." she said as she walked through the door and sat beside me. i gave her a dumb look.
"I'm your only daughter." I say.
"Well... Same thing isn't lass?" She smiled. I giggled.
"Ok ok but if they even dare so touch grounds on DunBroch they're gettin' and arrow in the eye." I said as I pointed to my eye with the arrow.
"Um.. Aye but you will stay here right?" Mum asked as played with bits of my hair.
"Mhmm." I nodded as put my arrows down.
"Mum?" I said.
"Yes dear." she said as she untangled some curls that have linked together.
"Is it bad that I'm excited about this war?" I say touching the tips of my two index fingers together.
"E-Excited? What do you mean by that dear?" Mum asked as she looked at me.
"I uh... I'm excited about war..?" I said I dropped my hands and hunched my shoulders.
"W-Well it's unexpected, I'll give you that but... what's to be excited about? All it is fighting, clashing of steel and red, lots of red." mum said as she shuddered of the idea of red.
"Well when you put it that way maybe I'm not so excited after all. The only reason I was excited is because maybe I could show off my archery skill y'know?" I lied. I'm still excited but maybe saying it out loud makes it weird.
"I understand you love to show off your archery dear but war isn't the best way to show off." Mum said as she stood up. I nodded.
"Now why was I here again?" She said as she started to think. Oh god. I forgot. I skipped my speech practice because I was sharpinin' arrows!
"Hmm? Oh wasn't it just to see me about the war anyway?" I lied to attempt and skip a lecture as I looked away avoiding her eyes. Seriously she can look through your soul.
"I- Maybe.. It was about the war but it was something else." she said as she furrowed her eyebrows in lack of thought.
"Mum." I said. She looked up at me in response.
"I need friends." I sighed.
"Huh?" She said surprised. I'm changing subject here to get me off the hook.
"Well, yes I'm a princess living in luxury but maybe I think I need to meet more princess.. like me." I said as I hung up my bow and arrows on a peg.
"Hmm. You do need to socialise more.. especially with princess of your kind. Maybe after war I can arrange a meeting! With maybe just about three will do right?" Mum said as she looked at me. I actually need some friends anyway so I nodded at the idea. I wonder if any of them or snobby or maybe like me?
Hmm. If they are snobby they better watch out or else they might have to take and arrow to the knee.
"RIDA!" I heard three voices simultaneously say. My brothers, wee Devils.
"I told you not to calm me that." I said as I cross my arms and face away from them while they walk in. They don't talk to others but themselves and me, maybe mum and dad but that's only when needed.
"Well Your name is Merida, listen again, Merida." One of them said.
"Hmph. Well I don't care if I have rida In my name because my full name is Merida." I said.
"Awe me rida!!! Me little rida! Me Rida!!" They kept saying over. I put my hands to the side and held my breath and clenched my hands.
"Feisty one she is." They said.
"Mmm. feisty in deed." I smiled evily. They looked at each other and smirked.
"Bring it on big sister." they slyly smiled.
"Oh I will and when I do, you better watch yourself." I chuckled.
"Well put it this way having a creepy sister like you makes life more, how can we put this.... Interesting." One said and they all smiled at me and flung something in the floor which made smoke. I coughed and tried to waft it away. When the smoke finally cleared, which wasn't long, they where gone. Scaredy Tabby Cats. I smirked and grabbed and walked to the kitchen.
"So do you have the pie?" I asked one of the maids, she was new and was my age, her name is Vilod. Pronounced as Vee-lod.
"Mhmm Princess. So what's it today." she giggled and handed me an apple pie.
"Let's just say, Night Night!" I chuckled.
"Princess your so mischievous but then again you have that freedom and I, I enjoy that sort of thing.... So I encourage it." she giggles and continues work. Vilod is mischievous herself. When she goes home he tricks her little sister and older brother all the time. She sometimes gives me ideas. Now she has to work she has me to still allow her to be mischievous, making work fun I think.
"Hmm where could I get sleeping powder now?" I say.
"I hear the chef has had some trouble sleeping, I wonder if he has any to help him sleep. I saw someone giving him a cake before bed with it in so... maybe in his room or in that someone's room. Without the mischief check the First aid room." Vilod said as she cut carrots for dinner.
"Aye, thanks Vilod!!" I say and run towards chefs room.
"Good luck Me- I mean- Princess!!" She shouts.
I looked in his draw and luckily there was a little bag of it. Then there's also.. A journel!! Ooh! I couldn't help but take it and replace it with a Poopey old book that look sort of similar. I ran into my room and put only a tiny bit of sleeping powder just enough to make them sleep and not go completely unconscious and not overdosed. I put the Journal in my draw and ran out and placed the pie in the boys room. Now I go in my room and act completely innocent. I walk in and trip over something and next thing I know... theres.... POO ALLOVER ME!!!
"BOYS!!! I CANT BELIEVE YOU PUT POO ON ME!! OUT OF EVERYTHING YOU PUT ON ME, YOU DECIDE POO?!" I shout and they all giggle.
"I heard Dad said its horse shit, Angus' horse shit." they all chuckled at the swear word they used.
"Excuse me but I never heard bad words come out of those young mouths of yours." I heard a voice say behind me. I turn to see mother standing there.
"M-mother! LOOK THEY HAVE PUT POO ON ME!! ANGUS POO!" I screamed.
"Now Merida be quiet an calm down. Just go and get a bath and new dress to put on. I will mKe the maids wash your dress for you." mum said calmy.
"Aye." I sighed and walked off to bath. Well the boys will get what's coming to them when they fall asleep and I draw allover their faces and also put dresses on them an do their hair in cute little pony tails and then after.. paint all their toys pink! If I have enough time to paint them all...
