I Promise [Jackunzel & Mericcup]

Bonfire

The group didn’t notice that the sun was already setting. They had to set camp and rest for that day. All they knew now was that they were really far away from where they came from.

“So, you’re the Princess of Dunbroch, huh?” Jack said to Merida.

“Wait, how did you…” Merida glared at Hiccup, knowing that it was him who told Jack about that.

“Don’t worry, if you don’t wanna go back, then, that’s fine with us,” Jack told Merida.

Their wood for the bonfire was almost finished and the fire was getting weaker and weaker.

“I’ll go get some more firewood,” Merida said, getting up from her spot.

“Uh… I-I’ll go with you,” Hiccup stood up and followed Merida.

Rapunzel chuckled a bit when she thought of what Hiccup told them, about him being one of Merida’s suitors and judging Merida, she really seemed like a person that didn’t need a man by her side.

The fire suddenly died out. There wasn’t enough wood, anymore. Fear crept in to Rapunzel as the forest grew dark and she heard the howling of wolves. Jack saw Rapunzel getting paranoid, which gave him an evil grin.

He went closer to Rapunzel and sat beside her, “Hey, did you hear about the story about a ghost roaming around a forest?”

“W-what?!”

Rapunzel had her feet tucked in and her arms were around her legs. She was almost shivering.

The sky was slowly being covered by clouds, which meant that it could rain anytime and Jack found this a good opportunity to scare Rapunzel a bit more.

“They say when you’re all alone in the forest without even a bonfire, you could hear a girl crying and you’d see her pass by you,” Jack told Rapunzel.

“Jack, it’s not funny,” Rapunzel cried.

But, he still continued, “And if she spots you, she’d slowly come closer and closer to you and suddenly disappear.”

Rapunzel could imagine everything as she looked around her with tears almost falling from her eyes.

“Jack, stop it.”

“And when you would look around, you’ll see her suddenly beside her and she’d suddenly scream, and BOO!”

The thunder roared loud as jack scared Rapunzel that it made her shriek and jump out of her position.

Rapunzel hugged Jack tightly as she shivered of fright. She never liked ghost stories, especially the ones Jack told. Ghosts always gave her the chills and she would sometimes cry to Jack if she was frightened, even until now.

Jack stopped telling the story and caressed her head; he knew when he had to stop… He realized he actually went too far when he felt Rapunzel shivering.

“Sorry, Punz, I went too far,” Jack said.

Rapunzel didn’t response right away for her mouth also shivered in fear, which made it hard for her to speak.

“Just… Let me stay here first, okay?” Rapunzel asked.

Jack always loved the way Rapunzel didn’t care how cold his temperature was. She didn’t mind even leaning on his shoulder even in the coldest times. Jack let her hug him as he put his hand on her head, caressing it to make her feel safe, again.

Rapunzel didn’t want to let go of Jack. She wanted to stay that close to him forever. For her, she didn’t even feel the slightest cold temperature when she hugs Jack. Maybe she just got used to it, but that just made her feel more at ease.

Time passed by slowly and they could feel the rain starting to pour down. Jack and Rapunzel, alongside with Toothless, immediately tried to look for shelter, and lucky for them, they were able to create a small spot of which they could stay dry.
