Merida stood there, not knowing what to do. Everyone was gone. Everything was gone. There were no tracks of anything. All the forts were gone, all the weapons were gone, all the people were gone.

After standing there for about thirty seconds, Merida started to wander around. She looked at the spot were her father had made the fort for her and her brothers. It was completely gone. It was the strangest thing Merida had ever seen.

Where did everything go? Merida kept asking herself.

She looked some more to investigate. Nothing was there, nothing.

Merida soon left the area, and ran out into the wild to look for her family. She looked arounnd for about a half hour, and found no one.

Then, she heard a strange noise. Merida looked around, and saw nothing. Then she heard it again. This time when she looked, she saw something moving in the branches.

That's when someone Merida recognized came walking out. They were both frozen for about five seconds, and that's when Merida cried, "MOM!"

Merida's mother came running towards her and gave Merida a big hug. It was the best hug Merida had ever gotten in her entire life.

"How did you come back?" Merida asked.

"I just woke up in the same place I had.." She stumbled on the word, "died." she finished. Merida gave her mother another hug.

"Wait, how did I come back to life?" Elinor asked.

"Umm," Merida didn't want to tell her that she had gone to the witch again, so she eventually just said, "It doesn't matter. All that matters now is that you are here with me. And we have a bigger problem anyway."

Her mother looked at her with a look of curiosity, "What kind of problem?"

Merida explained everything that happened about everyone disappearing. "...and then when I came back, everything was gone."

Elinor looked around her and saw what her daughter was saying. "That's strange," she said.

"Could you help me find everyone?" Merida asked.

"Of course,"

They looked around for a couple hours, taking a few breaks. They found nothing.

It was soon dark and they needed to stop for the night. They found a good place to rest and made a small fort out of tree branches.

Queen Elinor fell asleep very easily. It had been a long day. But it took Merida about an hour for her to fall asleep. And when she did, she had another dream...

Merida was walking around the woods looking for everyone. Merida and her mom had spit up, so Merida was all alone. Then she heard something. She ran up to the noise. There was nothing there. Just bare space.

"Hello?" Merida called. "Is anyone here?" Merida started to walk back when she heard it again. She turned around to see only a bird sitting in a tree. Then, the bird began to fly towards her. It flew in place right in front of Merida for a few seconds, then it began to fly over to a path in the woods. Merida got the instinct that she was supposed to follow it, and so she did. She followed it down the path slowly for about five minutes, until she reached a cottage.

"What's this?" Merida sail out loud, thinking that the bird might be able to understand her. But the bird just flew away.

Merida walked toward the cottage and examined it. Then, a wisp appeared in front of her. Then there was a line of them that kept surrounding her. Then, they started surrounding the cottage. Out of the cottage came an old woman.

"You need to stop coming here. You come too much. My powers are almost all done because I have wasted them all on you,"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had limits on your powers," Merida said. "I'm sorry,"

"'Sorry doesn't cut it. "I made a fortune selling all of this woodwork and making potions for people. I just lost my buisness because of you. I can't allow you to come in here anymore."

Then the wisps began surrounding Merida again. They circled around her going very fast. Faster, and faster until they were going so fast Merida could not even see them apart from each other. It was just as if on big line of them was surrounding her. Then, all at once, they turned to her and starred for about five seconds. Then they attacked her.

"AHH!" Merida screamed."AH

H!" Merida woke up screaming. She didn't know why this dream scared her so much, after all, it was just a dream. But she had the strangest feeling that this dream would become true very soon.

YAY! Another chapter. I'm not quite sure if that dream was a dumb idea or a good one... I was just trying to think of some dreams so I could continue with this story :) I hope you liked it! Again sorry for any spelling or grammar issues.
