Viking With A Heart

Chapter 12 (Reworked)

Eliza's POV

It was starting to get around mid afternoon when the four men came back. The one who marked me grabbed me and started to take me somewhere and that is when I notice the other three grabbing my friends. I start to struggle trying to get to them but the one who marked me made me face him and look him in the eyes while he rubbed my face. For some reason it made me calm down and unafraid of him.

He started walking with me again heading in the direction that seemed like my home. With this thought and notion I brought my hand up to hold the necklace my mother gave to me. As soon as we got to the area where my house was I saw my fathers body laying a few feet from my mother. I ripped my arm away from him and ran dropping down next to my father and crying into his bloodied clothes noticing that he had been stabbed threw the chest. Then I crawled over to my mother and started to cry over her. As I was crying I felt like the man who brought me here was up to something. Maybe he was going to kill me and if that's the case at least I'll die with my family. But when I looked up he was carrying my fathers body and placed him next to my mothers.

Then he nodded towards me holding out his hand. When I didn't take it he huffed and picked me up over his shoulder saying something I couldn't understand and took me back to the pig pin where I saw Olivia still in the same place as we left her. As he was walking out I noticed the other three bringing back my friends and we all then sat next to each other and wrapped a blanket around ourselves. And the four men then disappeared. "So why did they take you?"

"He took me to the area my home used to be and when I noticed my mother and father right next to each other I fell and wept for them. He then placed his hand on my shoulder and picked me up and brought me back." Bethany replied grabbing her sister and hugging her closer.

"That's weird," Alisha started, "because the man who took me did the same thing when I fell down and wept for my parents."

"Same with the man who walked with me." Delilah replied then looked to me and I just nodded confirming that the same happened with me. I noticed it getting darker and the others in the pin starting to shake, so I went to the window and grabbed wood and twigs, as well as two rocks. Then I went to each of the other three groups and built their fires and started it for them with the rocks and twigs. When I got back to my friends I did the same then I got up and handed out three blankets a group. And said that one was to sit on while the others they could share. Then I had my friends stand up and put a blanket on the log under us and handed Alisha, Olivia, and Bethany a blanket then cuddled under one my self with Delilah.
