Maddend Heart ~Ivar The Boneless~

You'll know I wasn't joking
When you see them too

...

Ivars POV

I crawl into the room thinking I would find Ubbe, when I'm greeted by Hvitserk sitting on the table.

I crawl to my chair and as I climb up I see someone in his bed.

"Who's your friend?" I ask raising a brow.

"Ivar please it's not what it looks like." he says lifting his hands up in defence. What the fuck does this mean?

"What is it Brother?" I ask getting annoyed.

"It's Hella, something happened with her so I took her here." he says nodding towards the bed. My heart stops for a second as I look over the bed, now recognizing the scar on the pale arm hanging out of the bed.

"What did you do to her?!" I spit out fuelling the fire inside of me. I swear that I will kill my own brother if something happened to her.

"I had nothing to do with this, she walked around the streets like she had seen a ghost. She wasn't even responding to me." he defends himself in a low voice.

"Did she say anything?" I ask looking at the twitching figure draped over his bed. This didn't sit right with me for too many reasons.

"She said someone was back, but that's all really." he shrugs looking over her.
Could this be something because of her powers? How was I stupid enough to let her walk away with this strange woman. I want to be next to her, I want to know she's alright but with my brother right behind me I would look ridiculous and overprotective.

"You like her." he states as he drinks out of his cup.

"We all like her don't we?" I ask leaning back, my eyes wandering back to her every once in a while.

"No Sigurd likes her and we all know that Ubbe liked her a little too much for your liking. And I was her closest friend on our journey till I fucked up. That's nothing near to the things you feel for her."

"Like you know so much about what I feel." I bite back feeling caught. Who does he think he is?

"You don't need to be ashamed to be in love with her. She's gorgeous and witty and insane enough to be with you." he says looking over her. If he continues I might actually kill him.

A scream suddenly ruptures through the air making me whip my head to the bed.

She sits up pin straight as she looks around scared and confused. Her skin is unusually pale and trails of blood and tears are dried on her perfect face. Hvitserk jumps up walking towards her as she suddenly swings her legs over the edge walking around him and to the table where she sits down with a blank expression. I try catching her glare but it's useless.

"Did the red headed woman do this?" I ask turning towards her.
She doesn't reply, her eyes scanning the room and giggling. Did she go insane?

Hvitserk sits back down, eying her concerned as much as me.

"Can you hear me?" I ask again getting louder. Like it was just a flow of wind she looks around before ignoring us again to look around the room. Is something in here?
