Freya

Freya woke in a cold sweat from the same dreams that had haunted her since the slaughter of her men. Magnus the Mighty fell to the ground, and Skald, with his piercing gaze, pinned her to the spot where she stood; her legs would not take her to safety.

Skald reached her and put his hands on her shoulders, causing lightning to shoot through her body as she slept. The fighting around them seemed to fade away, and Skald, with a look of urgency on his face, pushed her backwards into the trees behind them.

Freya knew that this was the first time she had managed to move in that dream, but it was because of Skald. She still had not discussed these dreams with Skald; for they were just that, dreams. His spot in the bed next to her was empty, the sheets cold, telling her he’d been gone for a while.

After eating breakfast, she went out into the arena where the men were training. Skald was standing to the side, talking with Logan and Lucas; all three of them with serious expressions on their face.

“Today is the day you negotiate for Jack’s release,” Freya said, smiling to them.

Logan and Lucas looked to Skald, whose jaw was set, his fists bunched together behind his back. He gave a curt nod.

“You will be negotiating for Jack’s release?” Freya asked, her hands on hips.

“We will be negotiating, but we cannot say for certain if it will be successful,” Skald said.

“He is my friend, Skald” Freya said, her voice rising.

“Much as we all want a good outcome, ye must understand lass, Fraser Mackenzie is a man not ken for his diplomatic tendencies,” Logan said, looking to her.

“We will do our best to get him back,” Skald said, though without conviction.

“I will be coming with you to negotiate, whether you like it or not,” Freya fumed.

Freya felt Skald’s calculating eyes gazing at her, while Logan and Lucas looked at each other uncertainly.

“Maybe-” Lucas began.

“She cannot come,” Skald said.

“You are not the boss of me,” Freya felt her face flushing red at the public commotion.

“I’ll lock you away in your room while we negotiate,” Skald looked to one of the guards that was close to Freya.

“You will do no such thing,” Freya said, her voice low with anger.

“It is already done,” Skald looked into the distance, to where the Mackenzie clan would soon arrive on the horizon.

“I will escape. I will escape and go straight to the Mackenzies,” Freya stormed.

“That would weaken all of us, lass,” Logan said, uncertainly.

“Put her in our room. Lock it from the outside and guard it until I am back,” Skald said over Freya’s shoulder.

“You wouldn’t dare,” Freya said, looking to Skald, only to find his eyes were fixed on something behind her.

A pair of strong hands grasped around Freya’s shoulders, causing her to shriek in surprise.

“Skald you wouldn’t dare,” Freya said, her confidence wavering with her voice.

“It’s for your own safety,” Skald said.

“You cannot make decisions on my own safety,
