In The Blink Of An Eye!

Chapter Two- Where the hell am I?!

Kayleen's POV-

             I started to toss and turn. Why is my bed so hard? I thought groggily as I start to wake up with a shiver, and it is so cold. I rolled over into a face full of dirt. Now Choking, my eyes shoot open wide-eyed and I sit up quickly. "What the hell?" I look around and start to freak out. Why am I outside?! "RAIN IF THIS IS ONE OF YOUR JOKES AGAIN IT IS NOT FUNNY!" I yell out as I look around, where the hell is she? Trees all I see are trees, I stand up and try to find a path.  I am in a pretty thick wooded area. "That is odd I don't remember ever being in this park before," I whisper to myself. How did she get me all the way here without me waking up, man I must have been knocked out cold? I look for my phone to call her and see where she's hiding. "She always takes things too far," I spat out. Where is my phone I spin all the way around looking on the ground? Just great I don't have it how am I gonna find my way out of these woods. "RAIN WHEN I FIND YOU, YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Oh no, I have work today and I don't even know what time it is. I frantically walked around trying to find out just where I am and how to get myself home. Then I remembered Roy,  maybe this is my blessing in disguise. I am not ready to face that yet. I know that it will be so awkward right now. I hope things can go back to normal with time. Why do I know that no matter what, things will never be the same it will always be different now. I hope somehow, someway we do not lose our friendship I treasure so much. "This is ridiculous I do not have time to be thinking about all this right. I need a plan to get out of these woods "think Kayleen think." Great, I am talking to myself now. What am I going to do, I guess I should start walking.

Freya  POV- (in Old Norse, from an English to Old Norse online translator.)

            As Ek was in inn holt picking berries Ek heard an odd voice call out in woe! Ek followed inn sound ok quietly watched as this weird creature of a woman frantically looked for something she has lost on inn dirt. She spoke oddly ok was dressed strangely. Ek believes she may be lost, ok being lost in this holt is dangerous. "RAIN WHEN I FIND YOU, YOU ARE SO DEAD!" she spoke in anger. Why is she yelling for rain and death? She need not speak in raised voices this may call forth inn Frozen Ice Viking Queen Bestla, she is filled við evil ok wraith. Ek watched as she started roaming inn holt she was in such panic Ek had sorrow for her. Just when Ek was going to make my way back to inn village before father finds out Ek am roaming around inn holt following a strange person. Ek turns to leave ok inn women stumbles from inn large pebbles ok smashes her head ok falls into an instant slumber. Her head was stained red við milk of corpses. Oh, woe what am Ek to do? Ek can not leave her to inn beasts of inn holt. She will be devoured by day rise. Father will lash mik for sure taking a stranger to our lands. Ek must do what is right. Ek will quickly find my brother he will help my cause to do what's just. Ek call for my hound Bartholomew, he roams inn holt while Ek picks berries but he is never far from my side. Ek whistle ok inn hound runs to my side ok sits awaiting my commands. Bartholomew, du guard inn girl. He followed my gaze ok jumped to his feet ok went by inn strange woman ok sat beside her. That's a good hound Ek will go fetch Gunnar.

Narrator-

            Freya left Kayleen to the paws of her faithful pup Bartholomew as she ran the path to the village and to the docks of the ships to find her older brother. As she quickly raced to her brother's side he looks up at his winded baby sister and rolls his eyes. "Baby sister, what trouble are du causing today?" He laughs as her eyes get big and she looks down. "Lovely little sister du are going to give mik gray hairs, what is it þá du need mik to hide from father for du this time?" Freya wondered just how does her brother always know when she needs help hiding things from father. "Du must hurry my brother ok follow mik into inn woods we haven't much time." she exclaims "Why much Ek follow du into inn holt Freya?" Gunnar said worry in his eyes. "Please Ek will explain when we reach inn mark." she pleaded to Gunnar as her hand became interwoven and her lips in a pout. Gunnar nods and waited for her to show him the way. They make their way back to Bartholomew. As she makes it to the mark of where she left the odd women. She turned and stopped to face her brother with pleading eyes. "This odd woman has hit her head ok fell into a sudden slumber from it. Milk of corpses is running from her head ok staining inn dirt red. Please brother she needs our aide." she leans her body into her brother and smiles her sweet innocent smile. The one she used when she wanted her brother to give in. "Why must du always find strays, dear sister," Gunnar responded with an exasperated tone. He walked to the girl picked her up is his arms with no trouble and headed back to the village to find a place to let her lay while he fetched the nurse to tend to her wounds. He came to the village with Freya at his heels and the hound already at his dog hut laying on his blanket. Gunnar brought the women to the village brothel for a room to lay her down upstairs so she will be undisturbed. Freya ran to fetch the nurse. Gunnar finally got a good look at this mysterious woman of the woods. She was beautiful, even with the blood dripping down. She had a pretty big gash on her head luckily it was not bleeding out quickly or she may have already perished. She is very different from his village, and he wondered what clan she came from. What kind of clan allows a woman to wander out of their territory without a protector or a hound to travel with and what kind of rags is dressed in? Then the nurse came in and assessed the woman with panic in her eyes and with a look of urgency she looked to us and shooed us out so she could get right to work. Gunnar stared at the closed door and wonder who this beautiful woman was, all mysterious and fascinating.  All he can think about is her face. Why is he so drawn to this woman he has never even seen her conscious. What has gotten into him?! 

...

After several days Freya became worried she did not bring the mysterious woman of the woods to the nurse quick enough and she is in a forever slumber. The nurse keeps saying she will recover, but why has she not awaken yet. Gunnar has come to the side of this woman every day to check on her. He claims it is to be the first to question her as to why she was roaming our territory. However, his baby sister believes it may be because of something just a little bit more. She has seen the look in his eyes when he is at the woman's side. He is in awe of her. The nurse has just finished changing her bandages and checking her vital signs and had just walked out the door. Gunnar plowed into the room. He looked at her lifeless body and looked at Freya with a nod of her head saying no she is not awake his face fell. He turned to the door to leave when the women started to stir. She is waking up we will finally get to meet the mysterious woman of the woods.
