(The theme song is Space Bound by Eminem. It is exactly what Ivar feels for Nova!!)

Nova's POV

I wake up with the sun gleaming on my face as I look at it with a smile.

The recent days have been nothing but heaven for me, I never knew what happiness looked like and how it takes a tangible form of making love and sneaking kisses.

"Good Morning" Ivar says and his voice shakes me up

I turn around and look at him smiling sweetly, he is on his knees with his elbows on the bed and looks at me like a child

"Good lord, you scared me" I say while I keep a hand on my chest to check my breathing

"You and your sweet little christian exclamations" He smiles and I blush as I put the hair behind my ears.

.................................................................................................................................................

Ivar's POV

I love it when she does that with her hair, she wraps the strands around her fingers and gently places them behind her little ears, in perfect motion 

"I have planned something for you" I say as her eyes brightens

She is the reason that I thank my gods that I came to invade France, it feels as if though all the pains in my childhood manifested to create her for me.  Everything led me to her.

She is my healer.

"Really?" She says as she adjusts her white lace gown but I anyways catch a peek of her perfectly round nipple

I climb on the bed and crawl to her, she looks at me in absolute admiration

"You have never been out of the castle right? Today I want to whisk you away from here. You and me, in disguise" I smile and suddenly she jumps at me while hugging me

"IVARR!!! REALLY??? I WOULD LOVE THAT" She says excitedly as I catch her bottom lip with my teeth and suck it gently, she tastes like cherry.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nova's POV

Jesus Christ, I am going to see France today. I am going to see my people, my country. I am going to breathe fresh air! I cannot believe this, I won't believe this. I have never been further than blood woods in my entire lifetime and today I will see it all, ALL OF IT!! EEEEKK!

I put on a black cloak and tie my hair up as I walk to the stables absentmindedly. I anticipate what all I would see or could see. And I see Ivar standing and waiting for me with two horses

Heaven knows how much I love this handsome braided man. When the time is right I would tell him what my heart wants him to know, I hope he feels the same for me too. I pray to lord that he has the same depth of emotions that I have for him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Narrator's POV

It's a starkly blue sky day as Ivar and Nova  make their way through the blood woods and into a small bustling town. Nova's eyes brighten up as she sees her people and the daily activities of the town closely

"Are you sure they won't recognise me? Nova says as she looks at Ivar

"They have never seen you Nova, trust me" Ivar assures Nova

Every length and breadth of the town fascinates innocent Nova. Hidden away from the people by king Darrell for being a love child, Nova can now see what she longed to see. Her people, her country and her culture. It makes her teary eyed as she notices a small group of children singing on the street corner, a woman selling apples and an old man reading a newspaper sitting on the pavement by the side

"We shall eat something here" Nova says as she dismounts the horse and Ivar follows her lead

Ivar and Nova enter a dingy little place where many women and men are sitting with huge plates of food, happily mingling and chatting their day away. Nova and Ivar make themselves comfortable on the table in the corner of the room

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nova's POV

"I don't know that you know that you made a dream of mine come true today" I say as I look at Ivar who his examining his hands and his gloves

"Is it?" Ivar smirks and look at me

My love for him has increased ten folds today. Little does he know that since I was 5, I wanted to see my country, my siblings were about to do so but not me, for reasons unknown to me

"THIS IS SO EXCITING!" I screech as Ivar hushes me, then we both start laughing like maniacs

"What will you lovely people  have?" A tall, heavy man approaches our table

Ivar looks at me with darting eyes pointing me to talk to the man, if he senses Ivar's Nordic accent he will for sure know that Ivar is a viking and we are from the palace

"Ummm We will have soupe a l'oignon and cassoulet" I say as I look at the man

"That's it? What will your man have?" He says while pointing towards Ivar

"Umm he's my brother and he is deaf and dumb" I say nervously, trying to control my uncontrollable laughter

Ivar raises his eyebrow in admiration of my quick thinking and winks at me

"Oh good lord. Sometimes the world is unfair but don't you hesitate with a sister like that, I know she will bring a lot of dowry" the man says as he winks and Ivar while ogling at me

Ivar clenches his fists and hits the table, this is not good.

His anger is building up 

I beg Ivar to calm down with my eyes, and cusp his fists tightly.

"Please get the order ready, Thank you" I say to the man and squeeze a smile out

"The drinks on me, you sweet piece of meat" The man says to me and walks away smiling like a fool

"Ivar please" I say as I look at his bloodshot eyes as his body shakes in wrath

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ivar's POV

I would kill him, definitely kill him. 

How dare???!! Does he know who I am???

The audacity to talk to MY NOVA like that

I will chop his testicles in to pieces and feed it to the dogs

My hands shiver as I think of my revenge but Nova holds my hands and asks me to calm down and not create a scene.

"You are mine!" I say as I look at her, my jaw becomes tense as I speak while my blood boils

"I know Ivar, I know. Please relax and let go" Nova pleads but I cannot let go, I will not let go kill I have his head in my hands

"The way he talked to you, I cannot let go. Look at these fools staring at you" I say as I look at thirsty men looking at Nova. If I don't get out if here then I will kill each and every one here. Slowly and steadily.

"Come" I take Nova's hand and pull her out of the chair

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nova's POV

Ivar is in an awfully bad mood, and I just want to make him happy. I don't care what happened all I know is I want Ivar to smile. I brainstorm as we ride on our horses on the country side.

It was unfortunate what happened, but Ivar needs to control his anger issues but right now is not a good time to bring it up. I look at him, his body is still tensed as he rides by my side

Wait! I have an Idea!

"Follow me" I say as I tighten the reign of my horse and make it run as fast as it can, Ivar follows my lead

We reach a big beautiful lake by the countryside, the air is warm and the water looks cool. I dismount my horse and look at Ivar who is baffled by what am I planning to do

"No, no, no.." he says and looks at me, finally smiling

"Yes, yes, yes" I say as I look back at the lake, "I always read about it, never thought I could see it in person" I say as I take in the deep breath of the fresh air from the lake

"Now come on!" I say and run towards the lake but Ivar doesn't move

"Okay" I say, "So you won't agree to it just like that" I look at Ivar seductively and he looks confused

I remove my cloak and unbutton my dress slowly, in a teasing manner.

Ivar's eyes are glued to my body

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ivar's POV

What a tease she really is. I love it when she throws her eliteness in the air and just be naughty around me

She stands naked in front of me and the blood in my veins starts dancing, I dismount my horse as I look at her, not breaking the eye contact

She gestures to come close to her and my feet automatically starts moving towards her 

She is a sorceress

I cannot stop staring at every edge and curve of her body, the way that porcelain skin glows in sunlight and her hair that seem like waterfall on her body

I remove my armour and my clothes as I walk towards her, there is something in the air today or the way she is standing there 

The kind of flawless I wish, I could ever be

I come closer to her and pull her hastily towards me, she moans a little but she smiles. I squeeze her tight, I own every part of her.

"1...2..." I say and she bites her tongue between her teeth while smiling

"And 3!!!!" I say and we both jump into the 

Cold 

freezing

numbing lake.....
