In A Viking's Grasp( closed for momadness)

[sweetblueeyedgirl]

Rose was born in Scotland and was the princess. Rose had a happy childhood and was well taught in many languages and well versed and knew how to take care of a home as the lady. Rose was at marriage age when men started to come and talk to her father for her hand. Her father only having her as a daughter and three boys he took Rose's marriage seriously and was very strict on who was going to wed his only daughter.

That morning Rose put her fire red hair in a braid and looked at her self in the mirror and made sure her dress was appropriate. Rose adorned a sky blue dress to match her ice blue eyes and walked down to the hall where breakfast was being served." Hello mother father. i was thinking i could by the river today and practice my archery and maybe go for a swim." Roses's parents looked at each other and nodded" Darling you really should bring a bodyguard with you. or someone who can fight and protect you if you need it." Rose sighed." Mother i can fight you made sure i could defend my self and made sure i knew how to tell enemy from friend. i think i am good. please i am agreeing to marry let me have sometime for my self." Roses parents sighed at this constant battle but agreed and before they could say anything she was out the door with her bow and arrows.


A few hours later Rose had used her arrows and was sitting along the river bank watching the waters when she had hear a CRACK. Rose stood up and grabbed the sword from her side and held it up in defense of what or who made the noise.

Rose looked around and saw nothing she turned to her village and saw the flames and ran closer to the village and ducked into a bush and watched some of the intruders walk her way. As quick as a whip she stuck them with arrows and dropped them like that. she ran from the bush to the village walls and took a peek into the village and was shocked and angry that it had been invaded by vikings.

Rose sneaked around trying to drop as many vikings as she could but as she turned a village she felt someone grab her waist and hoist her up." unhand me you monster and put me down this instant don't you know who i am. I am Rose Dunn and my father is king in these lands." Rose had managed to get free and kill the man who had caught her. she grabbed her bow and made a fast run for the keep.

Rose barged into the great hall with her bow armed. she looked around looking for the leader and moved her sights on him." release my family and the villagers and i wont kill you where you stand sir." Rose was beyond terrified about the events taking place. But being a princess meant she would not give in a show fear." I will not say it again let these people go if not i will drop your worthless body to the floor." Rose fired a warning shot past the mans head grazing his ear as it passed.

Rose was pissed she did not affect this monster. Suddenly she felt a pain in the back of her head and feel to the ground only to be roughly brought up and held at sword point and her weapons taken. Rose heard her father yelling for this monsters mercy." father please be quiet i have got this. i am okay they cant break me." Rose tried hiding the tears from her father but failed miserably.

Rose felt the stare of this monster on her and she stared right back at him right in his eyes. She was a fighter and she would not give in easily. She would fight for her family and her people.

Rose snorted at his comment about the warning shot." yes i did why don't you release me and i can show you how good and true my aim is." Rose saw who the arrow struck her brother. It caused rose so much pain but she refused to show any sign of emotion." i am not that easy monster and as for your men why don't you take a look. you really need to train the better the fact a mere girl could kill them tells me your must not win many battles. they were so easy and they never saw it coming. you really should try harder next time."

Rose mentally smirked at her self for mocking this man. truth is she had killed at least ten of his man outside. and they did not have the skill to detect her. All his men cared about were gold and money and raping women. they made it easy for her.

Rose hid her pain and tried to get out of his grasp when he grabbed her chin." how dare you ask me to choose one of my family members." Just then Rose's father spoke up" Rose do'nt pick me or your mother we love you and we have lived our lives. choose your brother he is young and has his whole life ahead of him. I speak for you mother as well. she would not want you to pick us. we could never be angry with your choice. we know its not in your hands. please if you love us pick your brother to live."

Rose was caught up in her fathers words and thought them out and looked at the monster in front of her." if i agree to this my brother comes with me. if you want me as my bride he stays with me and i will marry you and train your army but only if my brother stays with me. "

Rose knew it was a long shot but if she let her brother live she knew she had to fight for him to be by her side. that way no harm would come to him and she could train him as well to fight.

Rose looked at her family once again" i love you deary papa and mama i will do as you ask and choose brother." Rose looked at the monster" you have your wish but only if you make there deaths quick and painless and you let my brother live with us so i can train him as well and when he becomes of age he will fight for you. i say this is a much better deal yes?."

Rose looked disgusted with his touch and slightly backed away." we had a deal i chose my brother now all i am asking is that you let him stay with me," Rose shuddered on shock with watching her father brutally murdered right in front of her. Rose heard the mans words and knew she had to find someway to calm her brother down.
Rose watched her mother and brother cry out. She saw the look of pure hatred in her brothers eyes" Will stop and think about what your about to do. The actions you take next will change your life forever. please stop for my sake please." She talked with her brother and saw the understanding in his eyes and saw that her brother went back to his mother and kept quiet.

Rose looked at the man." happy he is calm and i swear he will not hurt you or grow up to kill you please just let me have my brother by my side."

Rose looked at her brother and said.”Stop don’t do this thing before you act he has Spared our lives don’t give him reason to kill us.My Lord forgive him he’s just a young boy and he has lost both his parents he will learn and I can swear and promise you that he will grow up and join your army and fight for you.”

Rose looked at her parents bodies and belt in the pain and tears. She turned taped the Viking king and bowed her head.” My lord when do we go to our new home. I have given my word and chose who I wanted to live and you have I am sure already taken everything of value. Should we get going my lord.

Rose was fighting and internal battle with her self she wanted to kill this man but she was on survival mode and right now the only thing that mattered was her brothers and hopes he would someday kill this man.

Rose knelt and begged her brother to kneel as well." brother please for your own good kneel. if you don't mother and father's death will be for nothing. do you really want that." Rose sighed as she heard the viking ask her brother his name and knew that her brother would not answer him willingly.

Rose again looked at her brother begging him to listen to the viking. The boy looked at the viking and thought carefully about how to answer him." My name is Loki my parents named me after the god of mischief. because i kept getting into trouble."
