MERICCUP MONTH 2020 Week 1, Day 2; “I love you in a letter” Merida was sitting on her bed as she was sharpening her sword and keeping it nice and polished, like always. When suddenly her maid Mardy came in with a big smile on her face. “Your majesty ye have a letter here for yeuuu.” she said eagerly to give it to the princess. Merida groaned “Ugh Mardy I alreadyy told ye I dont want ye callin’ me yo majesty ! and I dont care ‘bout any shtupid letter, they’re just from those shtupid suitors that my mother has wrote to” she exclaimed with a annoyed look on her face. “oh but but this letter looks like someting even better if i do say so maself” mardy said trying to convince the princess to take the letter as she got closer. Merida refused to acknowledge it when suddenly in the corner of her eye she saw the name.. “Hiccup…” she said under her breath, she felt the butterflies in her stomach begin to flutter around. she tried to act nonchalant about it, holding back as much as she could not to snatch the letter from the tray in a hurry. “um…thank yu mardy….I tink I will take it” merida said giving her maid a small smile. “i knew yu would” she giggled “and dont worry i wont tell da queen about thee letter” she promised as she left, closing the door behind her. Merida giggle and thanked her then quickly rushed to open the letter… it read: “ Dear my beloved Merida, Bet you thought this letter was another stupid letter from the other suitors haha, but hopefully mardy convinced you to take it and now you’re reading it…” Merida rolled her eyes and giggled at the thought that he knew her too well she then continued to read it. “I hope you’re doing good and not giving your mom a hard time with the whole arranged marriage. I know its not the best thing ever, but I’ve been thinking about it and I think you should go through with it….” Merida couldn’t believe what she was reading! How could he say that?! and in a letter ! He couldn’t face her ! thoughts started to play in her head, did he find someone else ? what had happened to all the promises he had made her, saying that he wouldn’t stop till they could be together, was it all a lie?? Merida started boiling with anger, and tears started to build up in her eyes from the thought that she wouldn’t and couldn’t be with the only person she could ever imagine her self being with, and who accepted her for who she was but no, she couldn’t just stop there, she needed to keep reading and see what his reasons were to say such absurd things… “Your parents will never let us be together, you need a true King to rule by your side, one that is worthy for you. Someone that will truly fight for you and stand up for what is right, just like you do for what you believe in. Someone that loves those big blue eyes and firey red hair, that melts at every touch of yours and can’t stand to be away from you even for a second and to really know the real you, not just your princess side but the REAL side of you, the brave and fierce side but also nurturing, and love everything about you. A real Love. Now you must be thinking that I must be crazy and questioning the promises I made, but those promises are going to be made. Because I am that man that WILL be your King…” Merida was so confused and didn’t understand a word this man was saying but she continued… “ I’m competing for your hand. And I WILL Win. No one is going to stop me and your parent wont be able to interfere. My father has named me Cheif of Berk, I’m the Dragon king and I have defeated the Red Death. I still might be a Viking but I’m willing to take the chance of going to Scotland. Even if it kills me, because….. I love you Merida of DunBroch. I’ve loved you since i first saw you in the woods when we were little, I’ve loved you since i can remember. You are my everything and I’m going to fight for that love. see you soon my love. Love, Hiccup Horrendous Harddock III ” Meridas tears of sadness became tears of joy and a big grin grew on her face, she couldn’t believe it hiccup was going to actually fight for her. And she was not letting anyone stop him either. And if he was coming to Scotland everyone would have to go through her to get to him. “I love you too hiccup…” she whispered to herself hugging the letter to her chest. ___________________________________ Woohoo day 2 hope you guys like this it took me a while to come up with it ! hope it not too bad xD
