Unexpected Love (Merricup Fanfic)

Chapter 11 : Mystery

"Will the place be full of magic too?"

Merida's P.O.V

I slumped back to the bed in my room, while playing with a half eaten pastry. The ship's sail was getting a little rough and it's making me sick. We're probably across from home now.

I looked out of the window to see the pouring rain amidst the wavy voyage.

My head has been full of wonders and thoughts to what the place is going to be like. I couldn't be any more bothered of my fate. 

My fate.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep from thinking too much.

*****

There was a slight bump that has woken me from my slumber. I rubbed my eyes and let out a yawn before I went out from my cabin and headed to the quarterdeck to check. 

Everything was dark and dim. Only the lanterns and lamp gave visibility.

Somehow, the rain stopped and everything surrounded in mist. Still a bit wavy.

"What was that?" I asked the captain who seemed to be alerted, while gripping his sword.

"No idea but please return to your chamber, Princess. For your safety. We also still have two days before we arrive to the designated location." He said, pointing to the map in which I took a closer look at. Weird Island, I thought. From its shape and location. You wouldn't know what lies in there would be the nest of dragons and another clan.

I nodded in defeat to the captain's orders and went back to my room. Somehow, the closer we're heading, the more chills I'm getting. 

I can't describe what I'm feeling right now.

Oh well, sleeping is the best option to put your thoughts to bed. To dreamland we go.

Hiccup's P.O.V

Here it comes.

We could hear ominous sounds of a horse's clicks coming from the shore, with unknown riders. 

What the--

I turned to see Snoutlout, giving me that "Just give us the signal and we're ready to attack."  look.

They're hearing and seeing the same thing. 

All the lights from the fireplaces and lamps were completely shut off by a strong wind blow from an unknown direction.

It went really dark. But somehow, it gave us more sight to the silhouettes. There were ships indeed. 

They looked like normal pirate ships, until I caught a glimpse to their flag, A logo I have never seen before.

There were more clicks on horse steps but there's nothing to be seen.

A hand grabbed my shoulder, and I immediately turned and was about to give them a good punch, only to see that it was Snoutlout.

"Woah woah, It's me." He exclaimed. 

"You....Don't go around me like that." I retort with brows furrowed.

"Sorry. It's just, What the heck, I'm convinced that what we're up against may be ghosts! The steps are getting louder there's nothing." He whispered in a panicky tone. I can tell he's about to piss his pants.

I looked around once more, There was nothing but thickened mists covering the entire area. I was more worried if something just suddenly shows up and attack.
