As the ships moved away from Paris, everyone was in a bad mood, everyone except two girls, who stood in the back of Lagertha's boat smiling away.

"It has been many years Ashletoe, I never thought this would happen." the smile disappeared off Ashletoe's face. "I have to tell you something." "We only just got back together and you have bad news."

"Ake didn't kill Lizeltoe." The smile disappeared off Alca's face. From a far Halfdan was watching the two girls, wondering what could have spoiled their day even more. "Ashletoe what?"

She started to cry again. "When they started to attack, I ran for the boats and Lizeltoe followed. I got in the boat, but Lizeltoe said I couldn't leave everyone behind. I wanted to go, so I took the rock holding the ropes and and..." She started hyperventilating.

"Don't tell me you.." She shook her head up and down. Alca was pissed, it was if you could see smoke coming out of her ears. "You can't be mad at me. At least I didn't kill me entire village." Before she could say anything back, Ragnar yelled to stop.

The boats were docked and immediately Alca jumped out. She left Ashletoe there, knowing Lagertha would look after her. She walked over to Bjorn and stood right there next to him. Ragnar told the plan about lifting the boats over the mountain. It sounded insane, but Alca knew if wouldn't have said anything if he knew it couldn't be done.

So the process began, boats were tied to strings and people started pulling. Alca stayed next to Bjorn the entire time not wanting to next to Ashletoe or Halfdan.

"Is it me or does Erlendur look like is about to kill you?" Bjorn turned to look at Alca and smirked "I think Halfdan giving me more of glare then him right now." "Why would he do that?" "You tell me Alca."

Alca turned to looked at Halfdan, who was directly looking at the two of them. She also caught of sight of Harald who was also looking at her. "I honestly don't know. How are you and torvi?"

"We are fine, but I know there is something she is hiding." "Well I will tell you one thing, we women are a mystery." "Oh trust me I already know." They made it to the top and started to set up camp there.

"Thanks for help Bjorn, but i got it from here." Bjorn waved at her and walked away. Alca started setting up her tent when a voice came behind her.

"So you and Ironside are a thing." She turned around to see Erlendur. "No I could never be with him." he started walking closer. "What you have a type?" It can be said Erlendur did always like fierce women, more than he liked torvi, but he would rather kill her then marry her. That doesn't mean he could tease her.

"No, but clearly you want me to say you." The two could feel each others breathes. "I know if you kiss me, the curse you have will make you sick enough to throw up blood." Alca chuckled "Why do you have to ruin the mood. I quicky can't hurt that bad." He backed away "Sorry Alca but I don't want your virginity today." He walks away "Bye Erlendur."

She finally finished setting up her tent. All she wanted to do was relax, but she saw torvi walking with a crossbow. She decided to follow and saw Lagertha was doing the same thing. She continued to walk and saw she was following Bjorn. she was about to say something when Erlendur caught her arm and pulled her back.

"What are you doing?" "Bjorn must die Alca. I must have revenge." Everyone stopped walking. "No you don't come with me and you can stop all of this." The arrow is pointed straight at Bjorn. "We both know you are unable to love." The arrow flew through the air, but not the direction she thought.

Erlendur dropped to the ground with Alca following with. "You should have just left with me." He smiled. "You wouldn't have given up fighting for me." "I could have tried." "Goodbye Alca." She let his body drop to ground and stood up. She walked straight up to Bjorn and Torvi and hugged each of them.

"I'm glad you both are okay." "Sorry for almost hitting you alca." "Torvi, I never lost my trust in you. You aimed it perfectly." "Thank you Alca, but Halfdan is looking at you?" She turned and saw him looking at her. "I have to go Torvi. Can you see if Ashletoe is okay for me?" she nodded and the two walked away.

"You have a problem with me or something?" Halfdan looked down at her. "Didn't realize how many men you sleep with." "What are you talking about?" "With Bjorn and now Erlendur." She was confused and then realized he was jealous. "Halfdan why do you care about me." "When I look at you all I see is a mystery and I want to know more." "There is nothing interesting about me."

She started to walk away, but he followed. "Oh but there is Alca and I don't want to sleep with you, ask you to join me, just one thing." "What is that?" "I want you to fight with me tomorrow. Join my ship and be by my side." "Why would I do that."

"Just think about it Alca." "Don't worry I will." He walked away from her leaving her at her tent. She walked in to see Ashletoe sleeping already. She laid down next to her and started to brush her hair. "I'm not mad. I promise I will protect. We are in this together now."

She closed her eyes and drifted a sleep, hoping tomorrow will be a better fight.
