*Soleil*
Gudrun squints at me. We dropped off Marta and Siri a while ago and were now on our way home to me.
“I know what the runes say. I knew it even before we left. I just did not trust that it was true, what I saw”. Gudrun begins cautiously.
"What did you see then ?" I keep looking out at the dark road and the white streaks that whiz out of nothing.
“Them and us. I do not know why the higher powers want it, but we need to consider a ceasefire, or perhaps even an alliance. I'm in doubt about what Hagl wants to say, because I do not see how an alliance can restore balance. It will only be restored if all the hamrams are wiped out, as the curse says". Gudrun goes quiet.
*Soleil*"I could get used to this”. He puts a hand on my cheek and strokes my hair behind my ear. "I love you”.A hiss flies through me and I stare speechless at him."I ... think I feel the same way". I hear myself say."Yes ?" He breathes a sigh of relief and smiles crookedly. "I was afraid it was too fast. But I am completely and utterly in love with you".His gaze is so full of passion that my body is immediately set on fire."Show me that”. I whisper.He gently parts m
*Soleil*The alarm in my mobile rings. I turn it off immediately and sit up. Lefu turns and reaches out for me."I'm buying that fucking school so I can decide when you graduate". He mutters."You decided that just now ? But until you get it through, I better get in the shower and get a move on”.“Is it OK for me to just sleep in ? I had hot sex with a goddess last night, so I'm a little tired”. His eyes blink against the light."It must have been hard". I laugh and get up.“Mmm. But then you should see how tired she is” He smiles ch
*Luca*I am awakened by something rustling in the bushes outside. I jump to my feet and is by the door in a flash. I quickly sniff the air and breathe out with relief when a well known scent hits me. It’s when I smell nothing it is dangerous.That’s how it had been last night when the branch snappes outside. I had not been able to catch the scent of any animal that could be the reason for the sound. That is how I knew they had come.“I thought Martin would come get us”.“Can’t I come get my boys ?” An older version of me shows up in the door. “Martin won’t be back before later”.
*Luca* And now I am standing here. I like this town to be honest. It is nice here, and it feels almost like being home, being here again. I have missed it, no doubt, I realised when I met Twigs, I miss my friends from there, but only my friends. This town has something special. I walk down to the small boat harbour and the promenade by the lake. The last time I was here I had tried to take my own life. I guess I kinda am today too, I just don’y have to do it myself. What am I going to say ? ‘Hi I just happened to come by, do you want to have a cup of coffee ? I was thinking if you maybe would like to not try and kill us all the time. No ? Oh well it was worth a try… see you at t
*Luca* That was pretty stupid, Luca. How am I going to get the witches talking now ? Maybe I should find one of the others ? Not the old one. I know very well that the other two witches had just as much to do with the killing of my grandfather, but for some reason it is her I blame. There are only the other two then. The brown-haired had not been excited to let me and Andy live; she did not seem like the type who would let me go one more time. But the redhead ... maybe she would understand ? If I shadow Soleil, she might lead me to the other witch. That would increase the risk that she discovers me, but again, what do I have to lose ? Everything is still in total shambles between us, and now she thinks I was going to hurt her. I think of the smell that hangs by her, and I have to clench my teeth tightly so as not to let go of the wo
*Luca* A bit outside town we turn down a smaller dirt road. It disappears in between some trees and we can’t see the farm that is hidden behind them. “This should be the right address, so lets go see”. Twigs is driving as fast as his old car is capable off. When we come around a corner an impressive farm and a courtyard comes into view. A man shows up from behind one of the houses. Twigs rolls down a window and sticks out his head. “Are you kids lost ?” The man look at us with disinterest, his expression saying he would prefer to be on the couch in front of the tv. “We are looking for a party”. Twigs says, mirro
*Luca*There is a cacophony of noise as people start shouting suggestions for fights they want to see. I look around, watching the other fighters. A couple of them are about my size. The boss, who is apparently the champion, is even bigger than me.“What about you form a line girls ? And I will happily kiss you one at a time”. The boss laughs condescendingly.“I am ready, old man”. Teis says, flexing his huge biceps. “Let's take a round”.“What about we let the Young ones go first ?” The announcer says. “Then we can see if they are worth anything and ready to go up against the big guys”.
*Luca*At this moment the horn sounds."And the winner of this fight is Teis !" The announcer gets the spectators all the way up on their feet ."Ready to go again ?" Twigs almost has foam around his mouth from excitement.I feel that I have managed to calm the wolf, so I nod. "I'll see if I can take that Dennis guy".“He is fast, even though he is a pretty decent size. Avoid his legs, he can do all kinds of Kung Fu shit”."Didn’t you say they were dancers ?""So was Van Dam
