I woke up to a pounding head and slowly got up, my stomach rumbled in hunger, I threw my weary self out of the bed and made for the living room, at the door I put my hand to the knob to open it when hush whispering voices made me stop, I recognized the voices of grandma and Aunty Sara arguing.
"You shouldn't have told him who is father was, it would only make it dangerous, they would come for him" came grandma's voice.
"The boy made me say it, he is very scary when angry, he could obliterate this house" Aunty Sara replied and I heard grandma chuckle
"So a great Valkyrie is scared of a demigod" grandma said quietly laughing.
"His father is Thor which make him the strongest demigod ever, you know my reputation in battles, but this is freaking Thor son"
I could not bear it anymore so I kicked the door open and the shocking thing was that the strong oak wood door tore off its hinges, Aunty Sara raise a brow, "Are you going to buy us a new one?." Grandma clapped her hands excitedly, " I love that dramatic entrance, boy"
I didn't even smile and Aunty Sara quickly understand what happened' "You're are eavesdropping" it wasn't a question, but I did not answer and I stared her up and down
"You are a Viking" I said and she look like she was going to lunge for me so I made thunder rumbled outside just as a warning for her to stay away, she raised a brow and scowled
"It is Valkyrie, you fool" she growled
"Yeah" I growled back "Take me back to my dad now" I deadpanned, Aunty Sara stared at me in shock for a moment then burst into her mean laughter.
She stared at like I was a big moron, maybe I was then, I don't know. "Do you know were you dad is? Brat" she said standing up and walking towards me.
"Hey!" I protested, "That's mean, And where is my dad?"
"He dwells on Asgard, boy and the gods are in serious trouble" Aunty Sara stepped close to me and ruffled my hair affectionately making me confused sometimes how her moods changes like an ocean, "If you really overheard me and Grandma Ann talk then guess you would have heard her saying that monsters are going to come after you"
I nodded
"Good! You are going to need training, serious training if you must survive, those monsters love a yummy demigod" she said.
"Yummy demigod?" I asked fearfully, "That means me." Aunty Sara shook her head.
"Not you alone boy there thousands of demigod and heroes out there, Is only that your father is the strongest, perhaps not the wisest, but he is super strong and I am sure you inherited his powers, I must train you if you must avoid being a monster snack after which I will take you too Valhalla, but you must first die in battle to go to Valhalla" she explained.
"Huh…" I scratched my head, "So I get to die to go to a stupid abode for heroes"
"Yes" she smirked
"Sounds like heaven" i said sarcastically
"Or hell" Her smile broadened into a grin making me stunned on how a hard head person like she could manage to look so beautiful, "Because you are still going to be training in more gruesome ways I could ever teach you, you will become immortal in Valhalla as you can not die again, so no matter how many times you get butchered you will get resurrected in your quarters"
"That's sick" i muttered and Aunty Sara grin threatened to split her face, she kissed me on my forehead for the first time or so I thought because anytime I am sleeping it's like someone always enters my room to tuck me up and kiss me on the forehead, I grinned as I put it all together so she really cared, all her mean attitude was all a façade. She stared at me weirdly, "Why are you smiling?" She queried, I just shook my head and she gave me a small smile as if reading my thoughts, "Cmon now go to sleep" she said and before she could object I hugged her she tensed at first then clutched me tight then ruffled my shiny dark hair.
"Goodnight Aunty Sara" I said and she nodded and gently shooed me away as I walked to my room I could not help but smile at our friendly exchange, maybe she wasn't so cruel at all. I opened the door to my room and crashed on the bed and closed my eyes and as usual the terrifying dreams came but different this time as Aunty Sara revelation of who my father was was behind it changing, this time it did show wolves chasing a woman and they caught up to her and pinned her down, she screamed and one of them went for her throat but a voice rang out, "Leave her be" the person said and stepped into view and even in my dream state this person gave an evil aura and the sight of her made me recoil, on the left side she was beautiful, on the right side she was a literally corpse, she grinned and the woman below shivered and scooted away from her, the half corpse lady grin widened clearly enjoying her discomfort.
"Hello, My name is Hel and I am pleased to meet you, I guess you are not pleased to see me, well frankly I do not care right now I want something from you, I would be happy if you could give me. Do you know what I want" Hel asked.
"Wha…..what" the woman stuttered and Hel smiled, an evil smile.
"I know you are pregnant with Thor's child, that's good, so when you deliver, bring the boy to me and I will let you live"
The woman face stared at the evil being defiantly, "What if don't" she snarled and Hel's face change, her half corpse side suddenly look more terrifying she nodded.
"If you don't bring the child, I going to kill you and the baby" she growled and turn to the huge wolves, "Take her back to Midgard"
And my dreams suddenly went dark.
