The Girl Who Fell for the Valkyrie, Part II
Lauren
This is what I remembered from after the war:
The Fae warriors I had been raised around, they were the ones had gone war with the Vikings, who crashed uninvited in our land and went forward with their crusade.
The battle between our forces, and theirs lasted for several days, almost seemingly without an end in sight.
Each night, I heard their screams, and it haunted me, since I knew that at any moment that those screams could have been my father.
23SamanthaAftershocksI watched as Lauren and the othersrushed inside the surgery center, hoping that that they would be time to save Kait. Ayden was resting on down the road, keeping watch for anything that she could kill and then eat.Meanwhile, Claire came out from the shadows she was hiding from and came to check on me. She could tell that I was still rattled from what happened earlier.The hospital going under. Kaitlyn being stabbed and fighting for her life.Lauren using her magic so openly to r
24 Ardent Fury Erin I ran over to Olivia's bodysince Sammi had managed to do a number on her; I saw the blood all over her lifeless body. However, deep down I knew that she deserved those blood-stained marks. Especially after the way she attacked Kaitlyn like that. Was I guilty of not getting in the way? Should have I intervened and stopped Brittany from throwing her through the windshield? So many questions and yet I never reacted. All I did was scream out in horror when Lauren was the first to strike her.
25 Ardent Love Brittany I was rushing down the hall with Drea as held on to Kait, finally able to remove the dagger. Somehow. Yet, we were running out of time. We needed to act. We needed to heal her. "Who are you?" I asked this enigmatic woman who was helping me and Drea wheel Kaitlyn down the hall on a stretcher. "How do you know so much about me?" "My name is Vornica." Vornica introduced herself and her voice as gentle as a spring breeze yet calm like the ocean. "I severe the Queen of Asgard, Frigg. I am one of her handma
26 Ardent Revenge Olivia The one thing Kaitlyn was always good at? Following orders. Even now as I carefully watched shrouded in the darkness of the dining area, with a naked and bound Erin sitting in the chair next to me. I kept a careful eye on her as she had appeared from her bedroom. She was equally gifted at being stealthy. I didn't even notice that she had slipped in until she stood before me. Her facial expression was one of disgust. Rage. And even anger. All perfectly wrapped up and then carefully masked und
27 To Reweave the Fates Freya I thrusted my sword into the body of the poor fool, as he screamed in agony, who decided that it was a good idea to block my path. Little did he know what he was dealing with. He never stood a chance.No one ever did. They all met the same fate—just like all the rest. No one dared opposed me; well...not until Dimitria and her little friends. I swore that the only reason Samantha was spared was not only because she
28 When Lines Are Crossed Dimitria Carrying her dead body was bad enough, however even as I struggled through the portal and crossed the spacious, while at the same time, over the top too extravagant dining area of Elizabeth's Lake house mansion—nothing could have prepared me for what could have happened next. "The fucking hell is wrong with you?!" Blaire said, quickly snatching Olivia's lifeless body from me as they walked into another room. I tried to follow them, but they were quick. And good. They spun on their heel and in the same motion, had a dagger under my chin. You!!" they hatefully spoke. "You did this! You caused her to die! You had one job! One thing that—" I reacted by slapping the knife away and throwing them into the nearest wall, which when they connected, caused the sliding door to violently rattle. "She deserved what she got
29SamanthaSouls in TransitionI was still hanging on Kait's arm, trying to process, and take everything in, while also trying to be there for Erin, when I suddenly realized what I needed to do.When I realized that I had to have Freya honor her word and bless Elisa and Alissa with their birthright by becoming Valkyries. I owed them that much for them. It wasn't only for them—but Erik as well.However, as I found the will to detach myself and walk with everyone else back into the bathroom, I sensed it immediately.
30 Elizabeth Phase I: Metamorphoses She was in the back of the Ranger Rover, helplessly restrained and silenced. Tonight, one of two things would happen. One: Dimitria would forcefully embrace her life and be an extensive part of our cause that would only go deeper, as we pressed on. Or two: She would die, and her life would further fuel the fire of my plan. My Phase I. It had taken me a great deal to gather all the girls in place, during my life, since each one had arrive
