This is a - flash back scene
This is a authors note (at the end if the chapter)  or loud sound (in the chapter)

"Please s-stop." Paying no attention to me, my capture continues to cut off my hair adding it to a large pot that sits in the middle of the room.

As I watch I can't help but think about how easily the old woman captured me, 'So much for being a Viking, all I am is a flimsy will that can be easily folded.'

-Flash back-

As soon as those two words left my lips the woman lifted her head, dull grey eyes locking with my brown ones.

"One step forward one step back, now you've fallen into my trap. Can't escape once you're stuck, seems you've wasted all your luck." The wrinkled woman smiles as the rhyme leaves her lips, her once dull eyes glinting with malice.

My body involuntarily relaxes, my mind seeming to fuzz over, 'N-no! This can't happen! No no please!...'

"Now follow me, my little pet, follow me to my hidden nest. No need to flee, you only need to come with me." Turning to leave the woman starts to walk off the path heading in an unknown direction. As I watch her leave my feet start to follow, even as I internally scream over and over again for them not to. 'Papa....Mama....I'm scared...'

- Flash back end -

The room I was led to was almost completely empty except for a few things that littered it here and there. A few bottles filled with mismatch colors and random trinkets line the wooden walls, a large metal pot sat in the center a black substance bubbling inside it even though no fire sat under it, then to finish the room a small table and a single chair which sat near the pot.

As soon as we arrived at the woman's small home, I was forced to sit in the chair and ordered not to move. Of course no matter what I tried I couldn't do anything not even move a single finger. I could only wait and watch the old woman mix and add different ingredients to the pot, one of them being more then half my hair.

I don't know how long I've been sitting here, with no windows along the walls of the tiny home I had no way to tell the time. All I knew was that it was long enough for my tears to stop falling and my please for help to fall silent. My head slumped all hope gone, I tried to block out the woman's strange murmuring as she adds different things to the black liquid.

"Now for the final part I add the heart of the feared, a heart as dark as its soul, the heart of a NightFury."

At this my head snaps up from its previously slumped state. I watch as the woman stands by the wildely bubbling liquid. Fear and dread sink in as she begins mumbling strange words, her stringy grey hair blowing in an invisible wind. Soon the room begins to shake, glass shatters as bottles hit the ground, my body shaking as I watch the women, blood trickling from her mouth.

"Lord Vàr and Lady Nótt bind this contract in the dark, hidden from Odin's sight. Take this power and cover her light. Take my life, and ruin th-" She continued her chanting but I could no longer hear the woman's hoarse voice over the bubbling of the dark liquid and shaking of the house.

Suddenly the liquid began to lift out of the pot, floating in the air for a moment before it started to make its way towards me. Eyes wide I tell my self to move but can only sit still as it approaches. Soon, like a giant hand, it reaches me wrapping around my frozen body. In that moment all I could think about was the acid like pain that ran through me. It swallowed me completely the hot liquid covering my body as muffled screams left my cracked lips. After what felt like an eternity the pain finally overwhelmed me and I was swallowed into sweet nothingness.
