The Midgard Serpent (Halfdan the Black x OC)

Chapter 13

I don't like the tense I have been writing in so I'm going to change it sorry for it.

Rollo finally set us free on one condition, if we let him join us. Not like we really had an option, Bjorn really wanted his dream to come true. As we walk back to the boat, I see he has been staring at me. No lust, but determination. Does he think I would join him that easily.

"Bjorn is it really a smart decision to let him join us?" I looked at him as he talks to other men on the boat. "He will get what he deserves later. Don't worry Alca we will protect you from him. Hvitserk over here!"

"It is not me that I am worried about." Hvitserk came over to us. "Hvitserk I need you to watch Alca while we are here. We can't let Rollo tempt her. " Bjorn walks away from me. Does he really think I would betray him. Guess my punishment still continues. "So Alca, I have grown now." " Anyone who is not blind can see that." Hvitserk laughed. I will attempt he has grown into a handsome man. taller than me now, well most men are. I'm too old for him though and besides there's someone else. I turn to see Halfdan. He and bojrn throw Rollo overboard under the boat. He looks up towards me. I don't turn away and neither dies he. Those beautiful eyes keeping me in a trace.

"Hello, alca?" "Sorry Hvitserk, it has just been a long day." "Well maybe if you actual ate food, you would be fine." "What are you saying?" "You do nothing, but stare at Halfdan all day. You dont talk, eat, or do anything. And here I thought I had chance with you. " I smile towards him. " Hvitserk, you are a beautiful man, but you deserve someone much better." I walk away and sit by myself.

It has been such a long day. Night hasn't set yet and all I want to do is sleep. I lean against the side, my head against the boat, eyes closed. Across the boat Halfdan looks back at the girl. How unsafe it is for her to sleep by herself, with this many men around.

"Brother, staring at her doesn't do anything." Halfdan looks at his brother. " Harald, she left me for ten years, stops fighting, and has a child with another man. She doesn't want me." "What child?" "There is a little boy, back at Kattegat. She said she was just looking after a child, but his eyes looked exactly like hers. She fell in love and it wasn't with me." Nothing was said after this. Night fell and it was silent.

When Alca opened her eyes, a new city was before her. It was defiantly different.

"Helga are you getting off the boat?" "Of course, I must follow Floki." The boat docks. For once in my life I am nervous. I will not be fighting and I lost Hvitserk and we just got off the boat. Screams could be heard everywhere. Blood was spilled and women and children were hiding.

I just walked around looking at all the new foods. I mean there was something round and orange and you can eat it, what the hell. I was so out of it. I felt high off adrenaline and without realizing it I felt blood on my hand. Dripping there. I look down and saw something piercing out my shoulder.

"Alca!" The sword was pulled out of me. I tried standing, but I now feel pain and this hurts too much. two hands wrap around me and keep me stable. "You know just because don't fight anymore doesnt mean you cant stand strong." "Halfdan I dont need to be insulted right now." I can stand on my own now. "It's only a little cut, I have been through worse." He looks at me, his face tattoos covered in blood.

"Come on Helga found where most of the people are hiding." So we go into to where everyone else is. There's a giant door, which of course we open. As we walk inside I loose Halfdan and everyone else for that matter. Guess I took a right and everyone else took a left. I was lost In this maze. I didn't know what was happening at first. There were moving things. Wait is that me. I move my right hand and it copies my reflection.

It's me. I'm stuck in a maze of my own reflection. I walk close to the one in front of me, touching my face. This is what I look like. I have never seen myself before, how could anyone talk to me. I look so Ugly. My hand goes through my hair. Why is my hair this color? Most of all why Am I so fat?

"Alca!" I hear Halfdan call me, but I don't move. Is this really me. "Alca, come on." Alca puts his hand on my shoulder. "Yeah." So we walk and then we found a room It was filled with women, very pretty women, definitely prettier than me. Hvitserk is the first to go and claim and the rest follow. Halfdan look down at me.

"Why are you staring at me, you are not mine. Go have fun." He stayed there for a minute seeing if I was serious. Then he left and grabbed a women and started kissing her. I left after that, leaving this area and going back outside to the boats. I place a lot of stuff in them and then I get to the food. Food, why does it make me so sick now. I yell in anger and throw it in the water.

"Don't let your anger out on the food Alca." " I can do what I want." I throw more of it in the water. " Alca, stop" I don't stop. "Listen to me." he grabs my head and I face Halfdan. "Just leave me alone, Halfdan, I don't know what I'm doing." "Just shut up." "What the fuc..." He kisses me. Halfdan still cares. Wait am I even kissing back. He stops and a look of disappointment was on his face.

"So I was correct." "What?" "You are in love with another man." I start laughing so hard. "What is so funny?" I'm smiling so hard. " Jealously does not look good on you Halfdan." "Alca you left me for ten years and come back with a son who must be from a different man. I don't understand women. I thought you cared for me and I Cared for you. I don't care for people Alca and you made me care. Why did you do this to me."

He was mad and I only had one reaction I could have to this. I kiss him. I put my hand around his head and pulled him closer. He puts his hand around my back and start kisses back. It was a long kiss. The best one between us.

"I Love you, Halfdan."
