"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have left the two of you alone." Mr. Dunbroch whispered, a single tear already escaped from his eye.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Astrid, what a beautiful name. Y-your mother and I..." He trailed off.

My eyes widened. "WHAT?!"

"Dear, I guess... it is time to tell 'it'" Eleanor said, looking down. Eyes filled with sorrow.

"Ashlee Gertrid Dunbroch... You are my daughter."

Am I hallucinating? Or is this some weird Santa Claus with orange beard?!

"No... NO. Don't tell me... I'm adopted???" I screamed out.

The large man engulfed me. He hugged me tight while letting tears out.

"Ohhhh Gertrid... Sorry I am so sorry. It is the very painful truth. Yes, you are adopted. And your sister is in grave danger."

I'm speechless. But not so after, I was the one sobbing.

Few days later...

We are here... At the Dunbroch house, feeling as sad as a graveyard.

No... This IS already a graveyard...

Because my sister is DEAD.

"Babe, I know it is so hard to loose a loved one."

Hiccup said, lightly kissing my cheek, hugging me from behind.

I'm still sobbing. Like every tip of my heart shattering.

I came to Mer's coffin, almost fainting while walking towards it.

Hiccup was at my guide.

[Now Playing: "Broken Strings" by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado]

"Mer... First time I saw you, I thought you were arrogant and superior. I thought of you as a spoiled rich brat.

You became the Campus Queen. Made me think that my boyfriend would leave me.

You always had high grades... I was only at your feet.

I despised you for some reason. I was jealous.

I BECAME SELFISH. I wanted Hiccup to be mine only...

All I thought about you... WAS WRONG.

You were the kind-hearted, tough and protective kind of person.

For me, you are the best sister a girl could ever ask for.

Mer, these would be my last words for you... But from the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry. I love you sis.

...I wish I had spent more time with you."

And as I ended...

I grabbed a fresh dandelion nearby and smelled its scent.

Dandelions... Merida's favorite.

I brought it near to my chest, closing my eyes, heaving out a depressed sigh.

I threw it inside the coffin and kneeled down, seeming not to get over it.

Hiccup rubbed my shoulders from behind.

"I have heard that the Campus Queen passed away..." Trisha smirked.

"Yeah Trish. She's gone." My eyes glinted of a tinge of sadness.

"Oh my gosh who cares?! I'll be rooting for the new Campus Queen!" Tasha growled.

Tallina and Trisha hissed at her while I was there, almost regretting all I have done.

"No."

"Hahaha! I mean-What?" Tasha squawked.

Gosh her voice is super pitchy.

"I said no. I am tired of this nonsense! I'm out of this group. Now leave me alone! All you are doing is order and command! You savor your pleasant lunch while I starve to death, making your assignments. This is trash, GARBAGE! I'm out of this group. This lame group." I snapped and did a swag walk.

They were staring at me the whole time.

They better be. HMMF!
