as we all waited outside, I steped back inside. Sigtryggr didn't say anything to me, But looked at me, Sigtryggr was quit mad, But tried to keep calm.

"The saxons are crazy" Sigtryggr said, I laughed a bit. "They can be when they want something like me, But they hardly fight Sigtryggr" Saxons hardly fight, I know that, They fight when they choose. "May i sit back where i was?" I asked, I do not want to see them fighting and to go into battle because of me. I'm just a bastard, Why do they need me so badly?!

Sigtryggr noded my head,"Okay" He said to, I also noded with a small smiled. I started to sit back in my room i had, Sigtryggr gaved me this small room because he though Danes would immediately kill me, And he was not wrong. Danes hated me, and want me to die because i am no use to the Throne. But i feel like i can be somewhat helpful, My grandfather,

Alfred you may know. Teached me fot a bit when i was younger, he taught me all the kingdoms and what it would to be like in the future, He said if no one else can do it, I can step up and also be on the Throne. As I am thinking about this, I just want to runway. I do not care for the Throne, or being a Saxon or a Dane.

That is stupid! It's a old game for old men! I should be able to choose what i damn like , for god sakes.

As i sat down i started looking in the window;seeing Edward, Uhtred men, And my mother Aethelfaed, Aethelfaed looked worry. Which i do not know why, she hardly cared for me. Maybe she can show she does, I actually quit like it here.

It's peaceful, somewhat. But i do not like these ugly danes! I saw a dane come in the room, He comes close to me. As i am shaking, i do not look at this ugly dane. "I am drinking Ale" I heard him saif to me, he whispers slowly to my ear. I rolled my eyes, and simply sigh. "I know" I said back, "What do you want from me?!" I said knowing what he wants. The man puts his knife on the tabel i am on, making a loud noise. "

"To kill someone, I think"

"Someone or myself,One of the two" I heard this dane said, What am i suppose to say exactly?! Like what? " I can not be killed, As you know who i am" He sits down besides me,"A bastard Princess ah" I shaked my head, "You are so lovely. " He started touching my face, and leaning the knife closer to me.

I stood up,"Sigtryggr won't like this, I am his hostage. He needs me alive" He chuckles, "I do not care what he wants" I was shaking, he came closer to me and slamed me on a wall;making my head hurt and pound a lot. "I'll get what i want"This random dane said to me, I just looked at him. And ssid nothing, "I have done Nothing to you" i said calmly to make him calm atleast, he puts the knife towards my heart, "Your Mother have done lots of things to my family" I have sigh, "I am not her" I simply said,

"Do you know whats it like to go through lots of death in your family?" He asked me, i ducked under him and turned the other way. "Turns him into a drunk!" I said ,"Do not monk me girl" He started coming close to me, "You are foolish, You can get out of it" The dane slaps my face, which makes a red spot on it; I hold it which has blood coming from it. As i was looking the other way i saw someone walking, causing me to shake more. Sigtryggr looks at me, "Is this how we play now?!". He asked the dane, while looking at me. He grabd the knife out of the dane hand, "We strike those weaker than ourselves?" He asked him, Sigtryggr didn't even let the guy talked, he immediately slaps him harder then what he slaped me. "Go on, I like this game" I looked towards the dane guy, and sigtryggr looked at me,"She is weak so i had a chance" The dane guy said, I looked down. "Exactly my point!" Sigtryggr slaps the dane guy once more, then before."Lord i do not understand you" sigtryggr laughs"In saxon land, are people subdued fear?!" He asked, "Are not all people subdued by fear?is that how Alfred Thrived?" He asked, Alfred.

My grandfather. "yes" I stood in and talked,"No! alfred was my grandfather, and he was dearly loved by all people! "I said talking up, they both looked at me;suprised. "Look at how they honor him!" I said once more, "Sigtryggr you can't believe her, she's a child "He laughs, Sigtryggr said,"You are a chikd yourself" He said. He was staring in the guy eyes fot quit some time, Sigtryggr grabs the man arms and pulls him out to all the people, "What did he do?"Brida asked, I was behide Sigtryggr the whole tIme. Brida looked at me with an evil look, "Lied to me!" Sigtryggr didn't want to say anything else, Brida holds his arms. "You can't!" Brida said,"We need him". Brida was trying to stop Sigtryggr, sigtryggr didn't listen. "When we fight, we figjt with one heart to fear those saxons!" Sigtryggr started to say for his people, the peopke were standing around him.

" We do not succumb to anger" I noded at his words slowly, "This man, is a man of ambition" Sigtryggr started to grab the guy's arm,"There is nothing wrong with that,We should all habe ambition." We heard him said," But he did the wrongs!" Sigtryggr said loudly, "And we kill him!" The guys all started to pick the guy up,"No please" Sigtryggr laughs, He started to walk towards Brdia;Brida started to run away quickly from him. I didn't say anything to him,

As we all started to go back inside i sat back into the room looking at the window. Sigtryggr came in,"Do you miss your family?" I quickly turn around,"I do not truly know" If i was being honest for once,Sigtryggr chuckles,"I can let you meet privately.." Sigtryggr said, this is a shock for me.

"You can jump out of the window" Sigtryggr said to me,"Really?" I asked;Whilst smiling. "Yes" Sigtryggr started to open the window slowly, where he sees Uhtred, Aethelfaed and Edward. Sigtryggr drops down a rope to where Finan is grabbing, Sigtryggr slowly drops me down. I was touching his hand slowly at first because i needed to get down outside the window, Sigtryggr looks at me. "Do not fall" He chuckles at me;causing me to laugh. I slowly drop down to the floor, Where Finan caught me.

Aethelfaed immediately rans and touches me,"Darling" She had said to me, I hugged her in her arma slowly. "I am so sorry for what happend to you" My mother said,

"Mother i am alright" I smiled, I looked up at the window and see Sigtryggr looked down on us. Mainly me, Aethelfaed made a sound,"Those danes are going to die!" We all heard my morher said, Aethelfaed was hugging me into her arms. I felt home, Sigtryggr then nods at me and closes the window, Uhtred came to us. "Hello Aethelhid " I smiled and let go of my mom, "Hi Uhtred, I am glsd to be back. "

Uhtred nods with a friendly smile, "I am glad also. Your mother as been worrying about you" I smiled, I am glad she was. To know that she cares for her bastard child. As we were starting to leave the place, I looked back at the window. Aethelfaed holded my hand,"Darling, These are nasty danes. They had you kidnapped, Well'll get them killed"My mom said with a smile, I shook my head,"Mother they were actually nice to me. I don't-" I got cut off by Her,"You are just a little out of it. Once you wake up from a nap, You'll know what those people did to you.." My mother paused for a second,"More like Sigtryggr" She was rolling her eyes, I just looked down. "Your sister missed you so much"Aethelfaed said to me,"Aethelhid!" I heard my sister said, she was still pretty young. "Hi, Elfwynn!" I smiled, and picked her up into my arms. "I have mossed you, My mother and Eadith, are so controlling. They make me read everyday!" I laughed at her, knowing what she meant.

As we were heading towards Winchester, Uhtred came to me. "You look nervous coming home,Lady Aethelhid." I noded, And smiled. "I am totally not Uhtred" I giggle, Uhtred whispers to my ear,"What do you miss? Why do you want to go back to them?" He asked me, I tilt my head a bit and hold my hands together,"I do not understand you Uhtred, I am glad i am going home.." I was lying, I do not miss my home. "We should be attacking them soon, They did you horribly" Uhtred and I started to walk behide everyone, I noded. "Okay"; I was saying nervously.

As we got into Winchester, I see Edward. Edward came walking towards me,"Oh my dear, I am so sorry we lefted you." Edward was obviously not happy about the danes,"They did so many things to you. I can already tell" Edward said, "What have they done to you child?!" I looked down, I didn't want to say anything to be honest. "They have done nothing to me-" Aethelfaed laughs,"They are danes my child, They have probably raped you in your sleep" I looked down, I didn't want to say anything anymore. I laughed along,"You are probably right, Mother. " I started to walk inside my lovely home i have"Missed", As we started to walk in i see everything again. I also see Father Beooca is still here, He was my "Father" Sense i was just a child with my sister. I ran and hug Beooca,"Father hi" I smiled,"Omg you are fully grown! I haven't been here in such a longtime. I am so sorry my Child" I noded,"It is alright Father, Nothing much had happen sense you left." Beooca looked at me ,"I know the danes took you as a hostage, I am so sorry about that. " Beooca said to me, I looked down. "Are you alright?Shall we part for you?" I noded,"Sure Father" I smiled, "Thank you. " I said before walking out.

"Aethelhid!" I heard a noise calling my name, I walked in my dress that was touching the floor almost, I noded and smiled to my people, I wrnt over to my mother privately as she closes all doors. "My sweet child" I rolled my eyes,"Mother you never cared for me, Why do you care now?" I asked her, she was shocked i asked. "I still love you, I do not care if you are my Bastard Child, i'll love you like your other sister" I noded,"Only if father was here he'll let me stay with the danes" Aethelfaed slaped me, and sated me down. "Do not talk to me like this, E-Erik was a good man and a good dane. These men? Oh hunny, they are horrible. I heard stories!" I shaked my head,"Mother i like the danes!" I stopd up,"Aprat me left once father left me, I want to relive that moment of his. " I finally said it...

"Are you serious, right now?" she was so suprised, after all. I am a "Saxon" Of her kind, I shakes my head. "Mother i am deeply sorry, I shall go to my bedroom and go to bed. " I said, looking down. "Goodnight mother.." I said nervously to her, i started walking away towards her.
