Chapter Sixteen

We had finally docked our ships and gave some of our supplies to the Vikings that lived in Iceland. At first, people didn't believe that we were who we said we were but eventually, we won them over.

We had told them the reason for stopping there and with that, they gladly excepted us. Though reluctant, Augun had agreed to take a rest from his hustled day to walk with me on the sands that I so desired to see.

I squeezed the dark sand between my toes and watched the sunset. Shades of pink, orange, red, and yellow painted the darkening sky. I took a deep breath closed my eyes. "When...", I sighed heavily, "when are you going to let me talk some sense into you?", I asked him.

"Oh...when you marry me.", he replied. I laughed a bit and stood up. "This is quite the breeze!", I exclaimed. "I have a few furs from our raids in Scotland. Would you like one?", he asked me as he stood to my level.

"Yes. Thank you!", I said to him. He walked away and stood against the cold rock mountains that lined the coast.

"Did you miss me?", asked a voice. I stood, puzzled for a few moments, before realizing who it was: Dargess. "No. Not at all. In fact, I was hoping that your leader had killed you.", I sneered. He turned the corner and crossed his arms.

"What do you want with me? Why are you always coming back?", I interrogated. "You're a threat to my clan. I have seen you fight."

"And every time...I won", I snorted. "Really....", he said as a blood curdling smirk spread across his face. "Don't you dare.", I gripped the dirk in my boot. He drew closer to me. "Get away!", I screamed. Now, he was only a mere inch away from me. "You're scared.", he taunted.

I growled at him. "And you are not?", I hissed. He rolled his eyes and drew closer to me. Dargess was so close that our heads nearly touched. "Just leave!", I screeched. "Why? When we can settle this now...", he smiled and leaned in to kiss me.

"You get away from me!", I sneered. "Why? Do you not adore me?", he asked sarcastically. At that point, all I wanted to do was to kill him, but I knew that what I needed to do was escape.

I jumped up and pushed my feet into his torso. He yelped and flew back. I hauled myself up onto the ledges that dotted the cliff.

Dargess followed not far behind. My muscles ached with the sensation to bolt away, but on this cliff, there was no where to go.

I finally pushed myself to the top of the cliff and clenched the lush grass between my fingertips. I scraped up trails of mud and I struggled to get up. I got to my feet, dirt caked in my fingernails. I took off across the field of short green grass and wild onions.

Footsteps rang loud and heavy behind me. I looked ahead to see that the top of the cliff ended mere feet from me. Nevertheless, I kept running. Within only a few moments, Dargess tackled me to the ground. I took a deep breath.

"Well, it seems as though you have won.", I lied. "Ah, yes.", he replied. Dargess smiled and kissed me roughly. My stomach whirled into butterflies, and I, without thought, leaned into kiss him more. Suddenly, I realized what I was doing and pulled back. I decided to use his moment of weakness to push him over. I stood up and ran away once more. He followed beside me and we fought to the end of the cliff in a flaming ball of fury.

We came to a screeching halt at the edge. "What is this magic that you are working?", I hissed. "I am simply charming.", he replied. "No. You tried to kill me and Augun and yet, every time that you kiss me I lose my mind!"

"Have you ever stopped to think that my clan might be the good clan?", he asked. "I have never thought about that....CONSIDERING THAT YOU HAVE TRIED TO MURDER ME!", I said, getting louder as I went on.

"And I will do it again if you don't join my clan!", he threatened. I stayed silent. He threw himself toward me and I moved out of the way and he flew off of the cliff. A loud thud broke the air as he hit large ledges that stick off of the cliff. Finally, he hit the ground.

I looked down on him and then turned my head to Augun. We stood looking down at the body below us.

Oh, this time I hope he's dead.
