Maddend Heart ~Ivar The Boneless~

Chapter 14// Ghost of you

I never
Said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died
We'd be together

...

I make my way through the muddy streets and over a bridge to get some distance between me and the dark energy I just created. I sit down by the small river just in reach of the town and press the cloth under my nose. The pounding headache was slowly fading but I still wanted to puke.

Why was there a part of me that enjoyed that? A part of me that craved for my the power I could have with this.
I hear something behind me and to my suprise, when I turn around I see Ivar crawling towards me. I say nothing turning to the water again.

He crawls nearer sitting right beside me.
I keep quiet ignoring him completely even though his straying eyes are biting into my face.

"You could kill with that power you know that right?." He asks throwing small stones in the water.

"I don't need those stupid mind games to kill. I would be happy with a bow." I muffle hearing a slight chuckle.

"I know you would. It was stupid of me to provoke you and I'm sorry for that."

"Who are you and what did you do to Ivar?" I ask raising a brow.

"I just realised that I enjoyed your company, I hate scaring you away." he confesses throwing a small pebble into the water again.

"Oh really? I seem to be getting the impression that you were quite alright without my company." I mumble picking at the grass beside me in frustration.

"You mean Margrethe? Stop being stupid she just a sla-" he begins but stops as he realizes what he was about to say.

"You will never change, will you?" I ask huffing out in amazement.
I jump up ready to March away when he grabs me by the ankle. I almost fall but manage to hold myself up.

"Let me explain! All of my brothers had her... I wanted to be like them; normal."

"You think I want to know what you did with her? You're pathetic."

"You think I sit around here waiting for you while you play with some man?" He yells looking at me angry.

"For the last time I never was inappropriate to any of your brothers!" I yell back getting frustrated.

"Ubbe told me! He said you're just here for some man!" he yells and I flinch back at his snarky voice.

"Oh you're making this about Augustus now? Why don't I show you my sweet August! Come on!" I yell storming to the water. I sink onto my knees leaning over the reflecting water surface.

Ivar crawls beside me muttering angry word, which I give no recognition to. I'm too angry by this childish manner hes putting on towards me to even care what problem he has now.

"Don't you dare hide from me now!"
I mutter when suddenly he appears.
His reflection is the only thing to prove he's there since Ivar can't see him like I do.
He's smirking at me holding his hand out to touch my shoulder. I look over Ivar who looks like he'd just seen a ghost, well which he in fact did.
