The Chronicles of the Big Four (Narnia AU)

Chapter 3

Merida's POV:

"So, this is their address?"

"Based on people who knows Morgan, yes. He's also the mayor of the town. It's embarrassing that we do not know that."

I smirked. "Well, now that we know, maybe ye could fetch me his golden artifacts. It's gonna be a good ride inside." I said and patted Jack's head. "Quit patting my head! I'm the same age as you!" I shook my head. "No yer not. Yer one year younger than me, so I can do anything I want." I said, knocking on the door. "Coming!" I heard a girl rush from inside. She opened the door, and Jack smirked. Wooh, they're in a fast relationship! That escalated quickly.

"Oh, hello! And, Jack, why are you here?"

"What!!? Your brother asked me to come over!"

The girl grunted and let us come in. She rolled her eyes at Jack and I smacked him. "Wot did ye do to the girl?" I asked him silently. "We're classmates, and I annoy her, she annoys me. Basically we're rivals." Jack whispered to explain. Ha, rivals yer face. We all know where that's gonna end up to.

"Hiccup, Jack and his partner are here!"

"Gosh, your place looks wonderful. Much better than ours even."

The girl glared at Jack and eyed me, partnered with a beautiful smile. "Hello Jack's partner, I'm Rapunzel! What's your name?" She asks me. I don't like these introductions and being pulled to a conversation as long as she can hold up. But, I need to distract her, so Jack can fetch me some vases, and we can sell it in the market. "Oh, I'm Merida! Well, Jack and I see ourselves more as individual life-settlers than partners but we do live together for a better living." I said, and looked at Jack and signalled him to start the initiation.

"Well, that's good to hear! And, I noticed you have an accent too."

"Yeah, well, it's genes from mah true parents I guess!"

"Oh, Punzie, where's the restroom?!" Rapunzel clenched her fists, and made a little friendly punch to Jack's arm. "Ow!" Guess that wasn't a really friendly punch after all. "Never call me Punzie! You call me Rapunzel, remember?" She said, gritting her teeth, and anger behind her smile. "Gosh, whatever, you're one creepy weirdo. Anyway, where's the restroom?" Jack asked with his not so polite manner.

"Well, you're just a guest so you aren't allowed to use deluxe restrooms. That's Uncle Morgan's rules!"

"Wait, you have deluxe restrooms in this house?!"

Rapunzel nodded at Jack. "And, I guess I have to give you a tour. But, since Hiccup's the older one, I think it's better he gives you the tour around the house. It's one giant house after all." Rapunzel signalled Jack to come with her. Ugh, it went a little curvy than I expected. "Rapunzel! How many are they?" A man shouted from upstairs. "Um, they're just two! Jack and Merida!" She answered, accompanying Jack to the restroom.

A guy came running down the stairs, wearing a v-neck sweater with his collar from the inside shirt tucked outside. He was folding his sleeves, and looked pretty quite elegant. "Oh, um...I-I-" I'm stammering! Is this what it feels like? To see a shimmering guy come down from the stairs with aura of gold and silver surrounding him? He's heavenly, although not very attractive to me. He just seems quite appealing!

"Oh, hello. I'm Hiccup Pairie. Call me Hiccup, Hic, whatever you want."

"Hi, I'm uh, Merida. Call me Mer. Wow, yer as thin as Jack."

He sighed and smirked. "Yeah, well, I guess it's because my appetite's really on a low level. Besides, I always wake up late so I'm kinda not into eating breakfast." Wow! He needs to build up his body if he wants to stand up tall as a big brother! "Yeah, Jack told me ye wanted to talk to him. About wot exactly?" He smiled at me, and leaned back on a chair. "Please Merida, you're as beautiful as sunset, but don't tell me you don't know about our Uncle Morgan's secret. Jack told us at school that you told him about it. I wanna see if it's true." Oh Jack! Yer really gonna get it this time!

"Oh, Jack's just 17, ye don't expect him to tell the truth."

"But why would he involve you in this matter if he doesn't want you to kill him? Literally?"

I felt mah hands sweat. Like, seriously sweat. This guy right here is like a lie detector, that if I lie, he would partner a question to it so I would scream and tell the truth about Morgan! And, he would find about our identities! That we're wanted fugitives in the other side of the town and the special forces are hunting us down! I have to tell a quick lie! A lie!

"The truth is, we're distant relatives of Uncle Morgan, but he doesn't know."

"I thought you never saw Jack as your partner, but you're living together for a better living? You aren't partners, and you're strangers."

Gosh this is tricky! I can't possibly tell him all this at once! I'm gonna blow up! "Yeah, I said that, because I don't want to accept the fact that Jack's a part of mah blood. And I'm the only one who knows about that, so don't drag Jack and yer Uncle into this relative thing." Seems like he took it. "Alright then. Would you like tea?" I raised mah left hand to sign him that it's okay if I don't have one.

"A tour around the house would probably be enough for you?"

"Oh, yes, I would like to explore this big house. I'll just call for Jack."

"Um, he's taking long in the restroom though!" Rapunzel called to us. So, all the time she's hearing our conversation?! I'm dead as a moose on hunting season! "Punz, I'll just be showing Merida the house. You can go tour Frosty." Hiccup said, and accompanied me to the stairs. "What?! I get to accompany the powdered guy?!" Hiccup nodded from the stairs, and we eventually continued on.

Hiccup showed me bunch of rooms I never really cared about. All I want to see are vases, golden lamps, and everything else! But as I walk by, all the things on display are stone statues. Wot would I even do with these things? They aren't buying expensive materials?

"Are you still listening to me?"

"Oh yes!"

Hiccup then went on, still talking about things that doesn't really count in my life. I have to bring up a topic so he won't talk about the history of this house! "There are a lot of rooms here. And, ye don't even get confused about it?" I told him, and he nodded. "Of course, since I was 10, I lived here." 10? He lived here when he was 10? "Ye weren't born here?" I asked him, and he sighed. "Rapunzel and I were adopted by Uncle Morgan when he was going home from his municipal work. We experienced a great life here, and he paid for our education. Rapunzel was 8 years old then. We lived here for 10 years." Their story was similar to us! Except of course, no one adopted me and Jack. We lived on our own.

"And this, this is the Spare Room. Probably the most unused room in the house? Uncle Morgan said they hid there when Jerries attacked."

"Jerries? Ye mean this house has existed since World War II?"

Hiccup gave me a thumbs-up. "Anyways, moving on, this room is really weird, and this is where Uncle Morgan placed the wardrobe he bought. Then he told us it was a cabinet? Well, it wasn't a cabinet. It's a wardrobe! Despite the protest I held that we shouldn't buy a cabinet he did. But, it's a wardrobe! For Rapunzel." Hiccup said, and I don't actually care about it, but something bugs me. "If it's for yer sister, why would he place it here? Shouldn't the new wardrobe be in yer sister's room while her old one would be here?" I wish that knocked sense into him!

"I really don't know about my uncle."

"Well, yer uncle's been keeping secrets, I tell ye the truth!"

Hiccup smiled at me and faced the room. "I believe in my uncle. Don't you?" My jaw dropped. I mean there's no logic with his uncle!!! Putting a new wardrobe in a Spare Room, for wot?! Why would he buy a new wardrobe which doesn't have any use at all?!

"Now, let's go." Hiccup said, closing the door, and went on as I followed him.
