Our Alliance Is Over!

(Merida's P.O.V.)

As ah help, Hiccup, retrieving his confiscated items; ah knew the lords would demand an explaination. 

"Thanks, Merida." Hiccup smiles as he sheathes his sword. A collective gasp fills the room.

"He adresses our queen in such a familiar way!"

"Is this why she cares not for the lords? She loves a Vikin'?"

"She loves the enemy!"

"She's a traitor."

"Traitor."

"Traitor!"

"TRAITOR!"

"SHUT IT!!!" I scream in frustration. Hiccup touches my shoulder, concerned.

"Merida-"

"Not now, Hiccup!"

"Ye call this Vikin' by his first name? Ye know 'im then." Macintosh questioned, twirling his sword in one hand.

He looked so pompous. I could tell he was plannin' somethin'.

"Merida!"

Mum entered the room with my three brothers. She looked composed, but her face showed great displeasure. My brothers were staring at me with different levels of confusion.

"Why have ye been associating with this Vikin'?"

"'E's not an enemy, Mum. He requested our help. Seems we 'ave a common enemy."

"HAH!" Macintosh interrupted. "A Vikin's an enemy with Vikin's!? A lie if ah ever heard one!"

"Vikings, consist of different tribes! The Viking Tribes attacking your people are also attacking mine." Hiccup faced Macintosh with a sharp, green gaze.

"Shut yer Vikin' lies! Merida, send this Vikin' away. An' be warned, if ye are in Scotland again we'll hang ye!"

Ah couldn't take Macintosh usurping mah authority anymore! Ah pushed 'im away from Hiccup. "Know yer place, Pierre Macintosh! Chief Hiccup o' the Hooligan Tribe is our ally an' friend!"

Macintosh glared at me then stared down, his gaze fixed onto mah hand. Ah realized ah was holdin' Hiccup's hand! He then grinned mockingly. "The Vikin' may be yer ally but Clan Macintosh will never side with mah father's killers."

How dare he!?!

"Our alliance is over! This is war!" Macintosh charged at me. Ah was about to take my sword to block his, but Hiccup beat me with his flaming sword! Then the room erupted! Clans Macintosh, McGuffin, an' Dingwall joined in the attack. Not all mah warriors even sided with me. 

Me brothers of course sided with me. And Hiccup. But few else. Mah mother in fact just watched, stonily. Does she not care!?!

Finally, the Clans were gaining the upper hand. They had managed to capture mah brothers. "Hamish! Harris! Hubert!" I shrieked as McGuffin warriors dragged them away!

Hiccup held me back. "Merida! Don't!"

"Ah 'ave ta save mah brothers!"

"The only thing you'll accomplish is getting captured!"

We fought as we argued.

"We need to get outta here!"

"An' 'ow do ye suggest we do 'at, Hiccup!?"

"Call the dragons!"

"They don know 'bout Whisp remember!?"

"I doubt that'll make a difference now!"

Ah roll mah eyes. He had a point though. I pulled out mah whistle, and blew it.

The everyone paused as they heard the strange roars of furies. Mum caught my eye. She looked at me in disbelief and anger. Ah 'eld mah chin up. No point hidin' now!

Everyone scattered as Whisp an' Toothless blasted doen the door. Under the cover panic and screams me 'n Hiccup managed to fly away.

Ah look back. Ah 'ave no country now.
