What Happened After Everything?

Apples

"To be honest, I don't even like apples that much." I said, taking a bite out of a red apple.

"You're welcome. And by the way, YOU'RE EATING ONE RIGHT NOW." Hiccup said. "Just admit it Merida, You like me."

That last remark made me unconsciously spit chunks of my apple into his direction. 

"How do apples and you even have a link to me liking either on of you?" I said with a brow curved upwards and an annoyed look on my face.

"Oh, please. The whole village knows..." He said, coming nearer to me to the point that he was becoming unbearably close.

"Stop it!" I gave him a hefty shove and he nearly fell. But unfortunately, he didn't. "I'm going."

"You aren't going anywhere." He said with a very serious tone.

"What did you just say--" and right then and there, he was suddenly kissing me passionately. "No... stop... this-- it's wrong! Stop it Hic!"

For a moment I thought that he had come back to his senses but alas, he chose otherwise and continued with his doings.

This time, I was feeling even more displeasure by his company and was feeling very hostile at that very moment... so I kicked his balls and punched his face.

After that, I ran. Ran as fast as I could. As long as I could get away from him... 

Then it was as if my eyes were deceiving me, he was there. Neither bloody faced nor was he bruised, he looked perfectly fine.

"What's the matter, Mer?" He asked as if he had no remembrance of what had just happened.

"I don't know! Being assaulted by you! That's the matter!" I exclaimed.

"What? When? Please say what I did... Cause I've no clue." He said, not believing a word I said but was trying to...

I couldn't take any more of this and started running elsewhere but I was stopped in the middle of my tracks when a pair of Hiccups came calling my name. One badly injured with hits to the face and one perfectly fine Hiccup running after me.

"What the fuck." the words came pouring out. "Is happening."

Just then, a pair of hands were placed firmly on my shoulders. It was another damn pair of Hiccups behind me!

"Merida, where have you been? We've been waiting for you..." Both of them said, simultaneously.

How horrid to see and to hear. It was like a complete nightmare! Two pairs of insane wack-job Hiccups.

Suddenly, more and more of them kept appearing out of nowhere and it felt like I was being suffocated by a big pressure down my throat and chest.

"Get away from me!" I demanded.

But the army of Hiccups kept multiplying and multiplying. It wouldn't stop.

I tried to move my head upwards to heave in some air as I wasn't breathing properly. And then blood came flooding in and onto the green grass. I was even more horrified. 

And in that moment of fear and anger, someone shoved a dagger through my chest. I fell forward into a person's arms. It was one of the Hiccups and he whispered down my ear, 'Goodbye, Merida' and everything went black.

I woke up on my bed with cold sweats rolling down my back and face. I hunched over into a sitting position. I pulled back my hair from touching my face as my eyes were wet with tears.

"Fuckin' nightmares..." I said, still wide eyed.
