Secret of The Night (Merida's Story)

Chapter 18

Merida's POV

Sweat dripped down my forehead.

My breathing came out as small pants.

A breeze came in making me smirk slowly as I looked at my target.

The arrow was pinned directly at the 'heart' of the tree.

All the trees swayed with the direction of the wind, letting the fresh smell take over the whole area.

I smiled and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

I think that's enough training for now.

Placing my bow behind me I made my way back to the fence.

My thoughts occupied by what happened two days ago.

The whole fire incident is still so mysterious.

Everything is cleared now, it wasn't me but they still don't know who it actually was.

A figure was near the gates making me get ready in case for any foul movements from the figure.

My eyes widen slightly as the figure disappeared.

No trace of where it might have gone.

Shaking off what happened, I began to walk.

Then my walking went to speed walking.

Soon enough I found myself running.

The feeling of someone watching me not leaving my side.

It was as if it were burning to the back of my head.

The area of the cabins was mostly empty which was a bit nerve wracking.

I mean it's easier to run but if something were to happen...

I'm a goner.

As I enter the cabin I immediately realized that something was off.

Maybe I'm being illusional...

Even though I thought that way I still walked slowly to my room.

When I didn't hear anything I opened the door and my eyes landed on the ghost.

"Stay back"He said which made me do the opposite.

Suddenly from the corner of the room there was movement making me take out my bow and place an arrow.

A gasp escaped my mouth as I saw that it wasn't a person it was a bear.

My back pressed tightly against the wall.

Hopelessness overtook me.

There is no way that I can use my powers.

"It's going to be ok. They're coming for you"

And if I make any movements the bear would get aggravated.

Fog entered the room and the bear growled and walked menacingly towards me.

I tried getting out of the room but wasn't able to.

It was as if it had a barrier.

The bear growled again making me walk to the right.

There's a window... I can probably jump out of it...

Once again fogged enter, but this time a different type of fog.

My eyes widen and stood there, afraid of what was going to happen.

Snoutlet appeared and the bear seemed to become a dog.

Arms wrapped around me making me look up and see Hiccup.

Relief washed over me as I finally regain a peace of mind.

"It's ok"He whispered making me nod and go sit at my bed.

Snoutlet came in and smirked towards me.

"How did you feel about that"He said while flexing.

I stayed quiet.

My heart is still pounding.

The ghost was still in the corner of the room.

He walked closer making me stay still.

"I'm sorry Merida"Is all the ghost said as he disappeared.

Maybe I should tell someone about the ghost...

Elsa and Rapunzel came in and they looked at me.

They would know more...

Right?

But if I tell them will there thoughts change?
About me?

Will they begin to think of me as everyone else?

My hands clenched into fist.

It doesn't matter.

I need answers.
