– Chapter 3 –

Two months later.

Time has been flying away faster that I'd hope, there's only about four months left and I haven't found a solution.

Macintosh hasn't talked to me since I last saw him at that cabin, but I don't need to worry it's so much better without him talking to me.

I've met with Elton a couple of times in these past months and I've learned so much about him and his home. It's got me thinking that maybe I find him attractive, but that'll never work out we just met, he lives in the West, he's not royalty, even though that doesn't matter much, and my Ma' would never approve.

"Yes, and my siblings are complete masterminds they always seem to figure out where I'm going when I haven't even told them"  Elton laughs.

We are sitting in the woods just admiring the sea and the delightful cold breeze of Winter.

"My brothers love to steal pie, sneak up on people, etc."  I numbered   "Ye'll never expect anything when it comes to my brothers"

I notice he keeps silent.

He's glaring at me.

"Elton, Elton" I wave my hand in front of his face.

He blinks several times as he wakes up from the daydream.

"Woah there lassie ye seem to have yer heid stuck in the clouds"  I grin.


Again he doesn't respond.

He frowns and looks away from me.

"So Merida I heard yer getting married soon" He says sadly.

I laugh.    "Yeah by force but this time I have my right to choose whom I shall marry, but I won't, I can't"  I look away for a moment.

He looks back at me, this time with a brighter look on his face.

"Have you chosen yet?"  He asks anxiously.

"I don't know, I did feel something for someone but he broke my heart, so right now I'm not so sure now"   I sigh.

"Macintosh?"  He guesses.


I nod and look downwards.


"You two are perfect for each other" The light drains from his face.


"No, no, no Elton, Macintosh and I are never going to be together even though he said he loved me I don't love him"  I spurt.


He glares at me.

"Merida ye do feel something for Macintosh, I see it when ye mention his name, we can't be like this anymore Merida, I thought we could actually be more but I guess it was all an illusion" He says angrily.


He gets up and picks his bow.

I with tears in my eyes get up and follow him.
