Not Too Late

New Little Addition

Ivar's POV

The day went by and I just sit there staring at yn's body. Her lifeless body. I put Igor to sleep a while ago. He rowed all the way out to sea and we decided to treat Yn here all on our own. We placed her flat on the floor of the boat and made her body comfortable. We tended to her wounds as best we could and when we were done she wasn't moving. Not even a flinch but she's breathing. All she needs to do is wake up and then we can go back to her home and live our lives. I've had no rest and kept my eyes on Yn. I decided to lay next to her as Igor puts the anchor in the water so we don't drift to far from land.

Yn's POV

I gasp as my eyes widen. I turn my head from left to right and I see that we're in a boat. I look beside me to see Ivar fast asleep. I smile down at him and press my lips against his cheek. I pull back and he stirs a little. I take my chance further and peck him on the lips. He mumbles my name and I smile. "I'm quite offended that you don't want to see my face" his eyes shoot open and stares at me. He places his hand on my face and starts touching my cheeks to make sure I'm awake. I laugh but sudden pain starts shooting through my body. My hand goes flying to my stomach and I feel the cloth wrapped around my chest.

Ivar sits up and looks at me worriedly. "Are you feeling okay?" I nod softly. "I'm okay I just am glad I'm alive" He kisses my cheek ever so slightly. I look forward to see Igor rubbing his eyes and yawning. "Ivar why-" I hear him gasp then run towards me. He stops before hugging me gently. I hug him back before sitting up. "You scared me half to death" I smile at his attitude. "But I'm okay and we are free" "right and we need to get the anchor up" he ushers Ivar to help him. I watch as they pull up the anchor. I pull myself up in the process and I stand on my own two feet.

I look at my surroundings then up to the sky. "Poseidon may you guide us home" I hear the anchor emerge from the water. They place the anchor on the boat and I let up the sail. "You'd hould be sitting down" "I'm fine let's just go home" the wind picks up and the waves start to move our boat. "Zeus may you stand beside poseidon and grant us safe passage into my home"

Not long after we put up the sail a fog starts to come onto the open water. I smile and stand up. The boys stand up with me and the fog starts to clear, revealing a small island. "It's beautiful" I turn to Igor and hug him. "This is home" I look back at the island. My home.

Yn's POV

Me and Igor walk up to Wessex only to stop at the sight of it. The walls are knocked down and the gate has been knocked in. We look at each other before rushing in to see everything trashed. The stalls that were so full of light had fallen and all the lovely jewelry and pottery have been smashed and scattered everywhere. But they weren't the only thing scattered. Innocent people were scattered along the ground with their blood still oozing out of them. "Go get supplies and meet me at the boat I'll see if there's any survivors.

He nods his head and starts collecting supplies. I rush into the castle to see no one but dust. I start frantically looking around until I find Judith's body on the floor. I check her breathing but I feel nothing I give a silent mercy before rushing off to find Aethelwulf. The first place I look is this secret door that is hidden under my bed in my old room. I quickly dash through the halls and run into my room. I get under the bed and open the trap door to see a tiny little human. "Aethelwulf?" He looks up with such a scared look on his face. "Yn?" I nod and he climbs out. He jumps into my arms and I carry him out of Wessex.

We get to the boat and see Igor placing the last few bags in the boat. We approach him and he smiles. "You must be this famous Aethelwulf Yn speaks so highly about" he shy's away from Igor and places his head in the crook of my neck. I rub his back slightly. "This is Igor and he's one of the good people okay?" Aethelwulf nods and we head into the boat. As we get in Igor starts rowing. "How did you remember me Aethelwulf?" "Mother and father spoke about you so much and that you gave me this bracelet" he holds up his wrist. I smile as I remember the day I gave that to him.

"Well I'm glad, because there wasn't a moment that I didn't want to be with you again" He smiles and sits closer to me. "Are we going home?" "Yea we are little man" I hold him close as I look to Igor and he smiles at me.
