Lagertha's POV:

Looking at Dáinn I sigh "my form is interesting, I don't know if I have a complete true one" I finally said while taking in a large breath.

"What do you mean" he asked his eyebrows furrowing causing me to roll my head around as annoyment felt like it ran through my veins.

"I mean I don't know my true form, at least not fully" I stated finally moving to look at the eight demons now standing alone in the kitchen.

"Being a hybrid it's a bit different, I have multiple forms but it can also change, I've never had to find my full form that represents what I am" I said and Dáinn nods as if he's peicing things together.

"I don't need it for the spell so it won't affect it" I said while folding my arms over my chest.

"I can hold them in for the most part, my form might change durring different parts of the ritual but it won't be anything different from what Emma has already seen" I explained.

"Then why did we need to shift" Jasper spoke catching me off guard not just by t

    Lagertha's POV: "Damn it L" Miles said coming up next to me "you didn't need to take it all" he said trying to cup my face causing me to gasp as my body moved backward from the pain. "It's better this way" I said my voice hoarse before I started coughing. Blood spilled from my mouth while doing so before I gasped. "No its not look at you" he mumbled. "It's fine" I gasped out "I can take it" I said as I looked up at him. Slowly I stand up "why did that happen" Cyrus asked causing me to look over at him. "Protection is seen as unatural, the dead see it as unfit magic meaning it deserves punishment" I stated leaning back towards the counter which made me wince when it touched the searing pain in my back. "They say its unnatural, unmoral so they deem it as dark magic" I explained while taking a deep breath. "We need to move on to the next one" I stated causing Miles to look like he was about to have a shit fit. "Look at you we need to be done" he stated scoffing a little as the

    Lagertha's POV: Sqweezing my hand closed I let my blood drip down mixing in with the boys' as they watch me silently. "Why did you slice all of our right hands" Sebastian asked staring at his hand sceptically as all of them moved to look at me now curious. "It's close to our bond" I stated without looking up at them "it'll help tether" I stated causing them to look at me confused. "What does that mean" Tobias asked the look on his face reminding me of a deer as his dark brown eyes widdened in curiosity. "It means when the bond breaks so will the spell" I stated looking up towards the boy. "Oh" he mumbled as I waved my hand over the blood.

    Lagertha's POV: The school bell rang loudly causing me to groan, the sound almost defening as it hit against my ever increasing head ache. "You okay L, you've been a bit off the past few days" Lucas asked softly while gently putting his hand on my shoulder as I close my locker door. "Yeah, I'm good" I said while letting out a sigh "I just have a headache" I explained while leaning my head back against him. "Do you wanna go to the room and I'll head to the nurses office to get some tylenol or somthing" he asked softly before placing a small kiss on the top of my head. "Are you sure" I whispered in a questioning tone. "Of course I am, I want you to feel better" he said softly as the sound of lone footsteps entered the hallway. I could feel Lucas shift behind me "oh, hey Ivan" he said softly. "Hey Lucas" Ivan greeted back as his footsteps halted. "Can you walk Lagertha back to the room for me, I'll meet you guys there soon" he asked causing me to raise my head in surprise. "Wha

    "Why is there a box over there with my name on it?" I ask while looking back at the boys with an eyebrow raised. "Well the guys kinda brought it over," Sebastian said quietly while biting his bottom lip. "The boys" I ask while tilting my head to the side to hear a nervous laugh escape some of them. "Yeah," Finn whispered. I let out a hum and nod my head "well what's in the box" I ask almost sarcastically. They look at me nervously for a moment when Tobias shrugs his shoulders "oh you know just some stuff" he said in a small voice. Rolling my eyes I walk over to the box and read the top before stepping back towards them "you've got to be kidding me" I said before sighing. "Why are my clothes already at your apartment?" I ask, forcing a smile on my face causing Ivan to let out a forced laugh. "Well um" he started to trail off before looking towards Jasper and Alaric "you know what I'll let them tell you" he said before proudly smirking. Looking towards them I raise an eyebrow a

    Staring at them with my eyes wide I just take in a deep breath still holding onto Ivan’s hand as I stare at the other boys who seemed to notice because they looked between us before looking down at our entwined hands and glaring at them. “What fun” I whispered sarcastically before taking a deep breath. “Hey” Alaric said, stepping out from his new room before glaring at Ivan and I as well, causing me to let out a sigh. “I called downstairs, they'll have a bed up as soon as possible but it might take a few days because they have to order a shipment so at most only a week” he stated before crossing his arms over his chest. “Well I could always go home right” I said with a laugh. “No, don’t go,” Tobias said quickly while stepping up and taking my other hand, causing me to look at him a bit surprised. “Ummm, alright” I said in a confused tone as I looked up at him, the green swirling in his eyes before he leaned in closer causing my eyes to widen. “No” Alaric said quickly, causing T

    "Hey Finn have you seen Lagertha" the voice finally questioned and Finn looked over at the door for a second before looking back at me."Maybe" he stated rather loudly and the other voice sighed a bit annoyed."Lucas and Miles were planning to go get Ethan wanted to know if she'd come with" he stated on the other end of the door and my eyes widened I walked to the door and fling it open."They're leaving" I ask staring up at Sebastian wide eyed as he looks down at me a bit startled and surprised by the sudden action.His hand was still up like he was about to knock on the door once again but instead his hand stayed in the air and his eyes widened as he looked down at me."Why are you two in a room alone" were the words that left his mouth and I looked at him a bit annoyed."Seriously that's all your getting out of this" I ask and slowly he nods before he looks up towards Finn a glare settling on his face."Did you do anything" he asked his voice suddenly becoming cold as he stares at F

    “Doesn’t matter now that you interrupted” Sebastian said while moving off of me and taking a deep breath to keep himself calm.Opening my eyes I sat up “good morning Tobias” I said sending him a soft smile.“Good morning Lagertha” he smiled back walking over to us before shooting a glare at Sebastian as he pushed in between us.“Did you sleep well?” I ask with a polite smile and he looks at me with a small nod.“Could have been better especially having to deal with Finn” he said and a scoff was heard.“I am not bad company” Finn stated while walking into the kitchen and getting himself a glass of water.“Right” Tobias drawled out while rolling his eyes.“I’m starving” another whined showing a pouting Cyrus who held his hand on his stomach with a small pout on his face as an annoyed Ivan stood behind him looking at him with disgust.“Move” Alaric grumbled as Jasper pushed past the boys that stayed in the hallway.Jasper walked over to me and planted a kiss on my head “how are you feeli

    A searing pain shoots through my body causing me to squirm before falling down my back roughly banging into the floor causing me to gasp as I open my eyes. “Hey, you okay” a voice came from next to me but not on the couch, looking over I found a distressed looking Sebastian. “What are you doing out here” I asked in a gruff tone as he leaned down towards me in a kneeling position while he looked down at me a bit concerned before helping me sit up. “I couldn’t sleep,” he whispered to me, sitting only a small bit of space now between us as I stared into his eyes. The gold color shining through his facade as he looks at me in worry. “We’ll go get breakfast” I heard from the other side of me, letting me look at Lucas and Miles. Their hair was disheveled and their eyes were puffy from sleeping as they stretched out their limbs standing up. “You okay?” Miles asked and I nodded, sending them a small smile to ease their worry. “How’s your back?” Lucas asked, coming behind me and lightl

    “Open the door” Lucas yelled, causing me to tilt my head but his screams weren’t next to me it was from my phone. “I need to get to her” he yelled again and there was banging. “Open the fucking door, or I’ll ripped out your throat” Miles growled close to the phone as well. A bang followed his threat and a woman gasped before she opened the doors. “Fucking bitch” Lucas growled and then I heard the ticking of the elevator before a ding. “Lagertha open the door” I heard the sin’s voices banging on the door. They had been there awhile banging and trying to get in but I had been so far gone I forgot they were there. “Where is she?” I heard Lucas’ voice boom from close by, causing me to sigh tears still streaming down my face. “Move” Miles yelled and I heard feet shuffling. “Open the door L” Lucas’ voice came from right outside but more tears just streamed down my face. “Come on” Miles yelled, sounding more impatient and that's when the banging started. “Fuck” Lucas yelled as he

    After dinner we all kinda lounged around the living room, it was nice but a part of me was also startled by how everyone acted so comfortable with my presence.Of course that wasn’t the main issue; it was how my body automatically relaxed when one of them would brush against me as they moved past or how my eyes would trail over them at different times instead of paying attention to the movie that was playing.The sounds were basically background noise for me by the time we got half way through, when I completely lost whatever was happening as I looked around my gaze weirdly enough getting caught on Sebastian.The way his appearance that normally like Ivan was put together was now disheveled, wearing simple sweatpants and a t-shirt his hair no longer styled as it fell around his face.The box-like smile that would appear during a funny scene causing his face to light up, or even when he saw something that peaked his interest causing his eyes to flash quickly that gold like color peakin
