She held herself close to him.
____

Thora nodded and she looked at Ragnar came out.

"Where's Astrid?"

"I don't know."

"She left. I told her to leave." Freya admitted confidently. "I'm not letting this happen Ragnar."

---
"Whats going on? Shouldnt you be with him?"

Ragnar sighed. "This is not going to go well."
____

"I don't want him, I want you." She told him.

"I can deal with it alone." Freya shrugged.

---
"So what are we going to do?"

"That's just it, you're not alone."
_____

"I don't know, we need to. Leave."

"It was my choice to tell her to leave, I don't expect you to protect me. I'm no damsel."

----
"Leave? Yeah, yeah leave..."

"I'm not going to bother arguing because you wouldn't listen even if I did."
______

"No I mean leave, go far away from here
"

"Good. So do yourself a favour and don't try and protect me. I'm dealing with this."

----
"I- Yeah. Yeah, I argue."

"And we don't need you 'sorting' our problems."
_____

"What's the matter?"

"Don't sell your sister like she is cattle and I wont have to! I am standing up for my morals and I am protecting the love she has for someone else!" Freya snapped. "I'll get involved in anyones problem if people are being unjust!"

---
"Agree, I mean agree. Sorry, my mind is catching up."

"Why don't you just stay out of things you don't understand?" He asked.
______

She smed softly.

"Oh go discuss with the other disgusting men who you are going to sell next," Freya almost growled. "You'll obviously fit in nicely."

---
"Lead the way,"

"Stop it both of you, odins beard for two people who have not had fiferent beds for 4 months, your both fucking idiots." Thora told them.
_____

"Not yet, we need the horses from the barn if we go back I'm. Screwed."

"It is not my fault your brother is as dumb as a fisherman who fishes in a puddle."

----
"We don't need the horses. We can walk."

"You seem to. Forget that's its alright for you, if I go against the chief I lose everything, my home, my livelihood, my family, you." Ragnar told her. "If you lose this place you can just go back to your old life."
_____

"We can get further with the horses."

"You mean these horses?"

Astrid turned to see Eadgar walking to them with two horses.

"Oh yes because what you have currently it so much greater than what I have." Freya mumbled. "Just as I have a home and my family are not in the village does not mean I have nothing to lose. I have a livlihood too but if I lose my home and meet the gods, freeze, then I do not care if it is through defending the rights of another. We both have things to lose, I am made my choice and you do not have to be a part of it, you may throw me to the vultures if you wish to and I will not think any less of you but I have made my decision and I will not regret it."

---
Cedric smiled brightly.

"I'm not asking you to regret it, I just don't want you involved." He told her. "For weeks you've been saying that all I am to you is your little bed thing and strangely enough I'm okay with that but that's the limit."
______

Astrid hugged Eadgar.

"I've been saying that in jest." Freya snorted softly. "This isn't about us. Your sisters are my friends, Ragnar, I am involved. Whether you like it or not."

----
"Come on, we dont have time."

"Okay seriously both of you stop!" Thora told them. "Look, we can't stop this on our own, we need to tell the Chief and if you two. Want to come then fine."
_____

Astrid got onto her horse.

"What exactly do you think telling the chief would do? If the chief cared about what you and Astrid wanted he wouldof came to you right at the start, Thora, think about it."

---
Cedric got onto his and headed off.

"I am thinking about it, the chief is respectful, if Astrid is already in love then he has to respect that." She told her.

"And if that fails?"

"Then I appease to his wife."
_____

She headed off with him.

"He doesn't have to respect anything. If either that idiot chief in there or our oen had any kind of respect for other people then they would of came to you and Astrid in the first place. Lets remember that I told her to run, so you two get to play stupid and let me sort it out." She looked to Ragnar then, "You don't get to fix this as you and Mikael were going to let it happen anyway. You can't argue with me on that. It is a fact."

"Do what you want, you're going to anyway." Thora told her.

"I already have, and you two may not be grateful but Astrid is and even though your jealous that she was chosen and not you, you would of been gratefuk for me stepping in too Thora because you dont like the man stood in there."

"It's not fucking jealousy." She told her.
