Theadora pov

I stood next to Ivar looking at the targets. "Oi Theadora come over here" Sigurd shouted/demanded. I did not want to but I am still a slave  I have no choice. I sighed and walked over to him and Hvitserk. I stood in front of Sigurd. "Yes Sigurd" I asked him looking down. Sigurd grabbed my chin and lifted it up roughly. I glared at him, he smirked and then I felt a stinging sensation on my cheek and blood in my mouth. My head was now looking at the ground. (Thats going to bruise) I heard a deep in take of breath behind me. "That will teach you to look at me like that, and if you do it again a slap will be nothing compared to the next punishment you will get" Sigurd threatens. I say nothing "Do I make myself clear, slave girl" he demanded and grabbed my hair and made me look at him. I winced. "Yes master Sigurd" I growled out. "Good" he said. He let go of my hair and pushed me away from him. I looked to Ivar who was watching the scean his grip on his axe so tight his fist was white.

"Let her fight Sigurd" Hvitserk said and tossed me his sword. I caught it with ease. I quickly got used to the sword and Swong it around to get the feel of it. Memories of my father teaching me come to mind.  Me and Sigurd circle each other eyes not taken from one another. Ubba, Ivar and Hvitserk watch from the side. Sigurd surge forward trying to hit me I side step him and use my sword to hit down on his. Then we launch into each other hitting our Swords together. Sigurd pushed me back I stumble a bit but regain my ground. I see a blind spot and shoot through his legs and stand up behind him and hold my sword to his neck "yield" I demanded. He turns around and hits my sword. I then decide I had enough I use my sword to spin around Sigurd and toss it into the air and catch it. He tries to launch him self at me but I hold the two swords in an x formation at his neck. "Yield" I demand him. "I yield" he spits out. I smile and remove the swords. "Nicely done" ubba says to me as he comes and pats my shoulder. "I let her win" Sigurd growled. "Of course you did" Hvitserk said with a smile. "You did well theado, but still you could use more work" Ivar smirked at me. I smirked at him.

We trained for an hour or more  then we headed back to kattegat. I quickly went to my room and changed. Into a a green dress with a brown leather belt. As I left my room I ran into another slave girl, she was kind of pretty with light blonde and blue eyes. "You must be the new slave Theadora" she asked me. I nodedd "yes I am and you are" I asked her. "My name is Margrethe" she answered. I nodded. "We better hurry or they will get mad" Margrethe said I knew who she was talking about out. I nodded and went to the kitchen to get the food while Margrethe went to the eating area. As I was walking to the eating area where the lothbrok family was, I stopped on my tracks at the door Margrethe was next to ivat feeding him and holding his hand. My heart was shaking my breathing stopped at the scean. "What, she's my special servent now" ivar said with a cocky smile. I was shaking now. "What about Theadora" ubba asked ivar. "Oh her? She is nothing to me" Ivar said. I felt tears run down my face. I did not hear what he said after that I was to busy trying to stop my sobbs from being heard. Then I heard a loud thud and a scream of rage. I could no longer hold it in, the tray of food I had fell to the ground everyone in the room looked at me. There faces all held shock. I ran out of the room tears running down my face. "THEADORA" I heard Ivar scream my name but I did not stop I ran as fast as I could. I ran into the village I ran into people but I did not stop I fell a few times but I got right back up. Then I ran right into a sturdy chest. I was about to fall back wards when an arm caught my own. I looked up and saw a tall man with blue eyes, blonde hair and beard. He held a curious look in his eyes as he looked at me. "Are you alright" he asked. "Im fine" I said whipping away my tears. "Im Bjorn" he said.  My eyes widen he's the other son of Ragnar the oldest one. I got out of his grip and ran to the beach. I saw many boats on the water heading our way. There had to be 60 boats all filled with Viking. I was shocked. I sat down on the beach my knees to my chest my eyes on the boats coming in. People began to gather at the beach and dock as the boats got closer. I got up off the sand and brushed myself off and headed back to the main hall. There was a party tonight I had to serve. I was also preforming tonight again for the guest. On my way back I ran into ubba he told me that ivar had beded Margrethe. My heart broke. While my time has been short here I have grown fond of Ivar. I went to my room. And there was Ivar on my bed head in his hands. I glared at him. He looked up and before he could say anything I spoke. "Please leave my room" I said to him looking away from him and at the wall left to me. "Thea-" before he could continue. "Have you not hurt me enough for one fucking day, please leave at once my lord" I demanded. Ivar held anger in his eyes but also sadness. He crawled off my bed and out of the room closing the door. I cried and fell to my knees.  A knock was heard from my door. I opened it and saw Margrethe I was about to close the door. "Wait please, I must speak with you" she begged. I let her in my room. "What" I demanded. "I did not wish to bed Ivar, he forced me" she whispered. My eyes widen I would never have thought Ivar would ever rape a women. "Thank you for telling me Margrethe" I said to her. Then she helped me get ready. The maids had made me another dress to dance in.  It was red and very reveling. I did not care, then Margrethe handed me giant fans made of metal. I was shocked. "Where did you" I was about to ask. But was cut off. "One of the princes asked me to give you these" Margrethe said to me. Before Margrethe left she helped me put on a little make up to help cover my bruise that Sigurd gave me. Then left
