Chapter .1.
1865
Bella's POV
We have been at the circus for nearly 90 years. Asha and Terra have moved on to explore the world. I call the Circus home and family. They know I and my sisters were Asgardian told them that when we didn't age. I promised to protect the family at the circus for as long as I was able. Asha and Terra agreed to protect them too. But they left.
I look after Ryan's children and their children who have taken over the Circus. At the moment we are trying to avoid the civil war. It is difficult but we manage. I act as security for the circus most nights. I also do archery in the acts with the circus.
I am out and it is midday I am hunting for food. My bow in my hand I scout around. I put my hand to the ground there were tracks. Not animal tracks but human. Why would someone be this deep in the woods? I better check it out in case it means danger to the circus. I track the steps for about half a mile. My eyes spot a male unconscious under a tree. My power of destinies and bonds immediately kicks in showing me he could possibly be my soul mate. That is when a man on house appears holding his gun at the fallen man. This man holding the gun had blonde hair and brown eyes. I saw a little bits of his destiny. He was going to become a vampire and soon too. I feel sorry for him but that ends when he cocks his gun.
"Stop! You will not harm him", I snarl drawing my bow and aiming at the solider
"He is a deserter", the man says
"Who are you to question this fallen warrior?" I ask eyes narrowing at the man
"I am Captain Jasper Whitlock. He is coming with me to face punishment of death", Captain Whitlock says
"Not so fast", I say firing my arrow into his shoulder
Captain Whitlock yelps in pain.
"Leave now before I kill you", I say
"Fine. But he is dead to us", Captain Whitlock says leaving holding his injured shoulder.
I kneel down before him accessing him with my eyes what was wrong. He looked like he had been shot. Suddenly his eyes snap open.
"It is alright I am not going to hurt you. What is your name?" I ask softly
"Clint Barton", he says with what I can tell is a lot of effort
"Well Clint of Barton rest I will help you. Sleep knowing you are safe", I say
His eyes close and I take a look at his injuries. I put my hand on the gunshot wound and close my eyes seeing the damage the bullet had done. I push the bullet out with my mind. I look at the bullet. This man must have tried to escape the war. I but the bullet in a pocket of my clothing. I heal the wound. I can sense the infection in the wound. I knew I had to get him back to camp to do more healing work.
"Ok Clint of Barton I will take you to safety", I say lifting him up with ease
He groans but doesn't wake. Being this close to him I can feel his fever. Holding him up with one arm I pick my bow up in the other. I begin walking back to camp being careful not to hurt Clint.
"Bell who is that?" Dave asks as I come into sight of the camp
"I found him in the woods he had been shot. Don't worry I will take full responsibility for him", I say
"We trust you", Dave says
"Dave please get Jasmine", I say
I take Clint to my tent and lay him on the cot.
"What do you need Bell?" Jasmine asks
"Water and some cloths", I say as I check Clint for anymore wounds
He had scratches on his body. I put my hand on his forehead and concentrated on riding his body of the infection. I find the infect and gently as I could begun pulling it out and cleaning his body.
"Here are the cloths Bell", Jasmine says handing me a bucket off cold water and some clean rags
I gently wash him. To make sure the infection doesn't come back. After a few days his fever broke and he comes around. I am sitting in a chair by his bedside.
"Where am I?" he asks
"Clint of Burton you are safe. You are with a circus. Do you remember what happened?" I ask him
"I was running from the army. They shot me. I collapsed. Then I remember you finding me then nothing. Who are you?" Clint asks me
"I am Isabelli. Princess of Asgard. And your Clint of Burton", I state
"It is just Clint. Asgard?" Clint asks curiously
"Yes. It is one of the realms", I say
"So other worlds exist?" Clint asks me
"Yes they do. There are Nine Realms altogether. They are connect by the cosmic nimbus Yggrasil. It is like a tree", I say seeing his confused face
"What are the Realms called?" Clint asks
"There is Niflheim, Alfheim, Muspelheim, Vanahien, Nidavellir which is the home of the Dwarfs, Svartalfheim also known as the Dark World, home of the Dark Elves, Jotunheim which is the home of the Frost giants, there is Asgard which is my home and then the last one the one I treasure besides Asgard is Midgard. Which is the earth", I explain to Clint
"What is Asgard like?" Clint asks
"You should eat now. I will tell you more while you eat", I say
"Ok. But I don't want to put you or this circus out", Clint says
"Clint of Burton you won't put us out. I went hunting last night. There is plenty of food for all. I will be right back", I say leaving the tent and grabbing some of the meat that has been cooked
"How is our guest?" Jasmine asks
"He is awake and seems to be over the worse of it now. I am bringing him some food", I say
"Did you tell him you're an Asgardian?" Jasmine asks
"Yes. He seems to have accepted it. I better get back to him", I say
"I will talk to you later. We need a girl talk", Jasmine replies
"I will see how Clint goes", I say
"Your head over heels for him aren't you?" Jasmine asks
"What?" I ask confused at what she was saying
"Never mind. Just go be with your man", Jasmine replies rolling her eyes
"He is NOT my man", I say
"Whatever you say Bell", Jasmine says laughing
I turn and walk back to the tent which Clint was in. I had him a plate of meat.
"So what are you on Asgard?" Clint asks curiously
"I am. I mean I was the Crown Princess. But I gave it to my brother Thor", I state
"How many siblings do you have?" Clint asks
"I have two younger brothers and two younger sisters. What about you?" I ask
"I don't have any family left. It is just me. That is why the army took me they forced me to fight. What are you siblings names?" Clint asks me
"Thor, Loki, terra and Asha", I reply
"Parents names?" Clint asks
"Odin and Frigga. King and Queen of Asgard. What were your parents names?" I ask
"Mary and John they were called", Clint says, "Do you have any powers?"
"Yes I am known as the Goddess of Knowledge, Destiny, Healing, Archery, Midgard and Bonds. Another title for me is the Queen of Midgard", I reply giving him the details
"Can you tell me my destiny?" Clint asks quietly
"Your destiny is going to take you on a long road. But it will be worth all the pain and sadness that will befall you", I say after reading his destiny a little bit
"Who is my soul mate? Can you tell?" Clint asks
"Are you show you want to know?" I ask him
"Yes", Clint says firmly
"I am your soulmate. I can see it clearly when we work on it we will be one", I reply
"I wish I could stay here", Clint says looking me in the eyes
"You can. I will even teach you archery. What do you say my Clint from Burton?" I ask smiling
"I am willing to learn. When do we start?" Clint asks
"When your leg has healed. Now get some rest the sooner you heal the sooner I can show you the circus and how to firer a bow and arrow", I says firmly
"I can't wait Isa", Clint replies
"Isa?" I ask at the unfamiliar nickname for me
"I thought I could call you that. Or do you have a nickname your would prefer me to say?" Clint asks
"I can live with being called Isa. Only you can call me that", I say giving in
"I promise only I will call you that", Clint swears
"Very well. Now rest my Clint and heal", I say as his eyes droop and he falls into a deep sleep.
Time passes and Clint has fully healed. I started teaching him how to use a bow and arrow. At first he couldn't quite grasp it. But now after two months he had gotten the hang of it. And was getting really good at it. But he will never be as good as me. Clint and I were walking through the woods when we come across a beautiful meadow.
"My Isa I have a question to ask you", Clint says looking nervous
"What is it my Clint?" I ask curiously
"I know I haven't got anything to my name. No money to support you and no house to live in. But I am asking if you will do me the honour of becoming my wife? I understand if you can't marry me because I am not Asgardian", Clint says head bowing
I left his face with my hand.
"Rise my Clint and hear my answer my love", I say gently
Clint looks at me nervously.
"I will marry you", I say
Clint looks at me shocked by my answer but then kisses me deeply. This kiss was different from the other kisses we have shared. This was deeper.
"Will your father be alright with me not being Asgardian?" Clint asks
"I believe he will", I say
Suddenly I realise that Clint will age quickly. And I will not. I have to save him but how? I know I had to go to Asgard and look at the ancient books.
"Are you alright my love?" Clint asks me
"I need to go do a few things. I will be gone a couple of days", I say
"Your not leaving me?" Clint asks unsure
"Never. I will never leave you", I say
"But I will leave you. You don't age like us", Clint says finally hitting the spot I was thinking about
"That is what I have to do. I have to find a clue to help you age with me or me to age with you", I answer
"So your going to Asgard?" Clint asks
"Yes. I will leave straight away. I love you my Clint. I will be back in a day", I say kissing him
"See you in a day", Clint says kissing me back
"Heimdall! Open the Bifrost", I shout at the sky as soon as Clint is clear of me
I quickly fly too Asgard by the Bifrost. Heimdall greets me.
"Thank you Heimdall ", I say
In walk to the place and people bow to me. I nod at the people who recognise me. Finally I walk into the palace. And go to the throne room. I tell the guard to announce me.
"Your Majesty your daughter Princess Isabelli, Queen of Midgard has returned!" the guard shouts
I walk through the doors and my eyes go on my father and mother as well as my little brother Loki. They all looked happy to see me.
"Welcome home my daughter", Mother says to me hugging me
"I am not staying mother. I need information. I have found me soulmate. The problem is he is mortal. I need to search the ancient texts for something that will either let me age with him or let his age with me", I explain
"You should not marry a mortal", Father says
"He is my soulmate Father and you can't stop me. I can see bonds and destinies and mine is with Clint of Burton. Will you accept my marriage and give your blessing?" I say with my head held high
Father looks at me seeing how serious I was about this. I keep my gaze fixed on my father. Waiting for him to give his answer to my important question.
"Is this what you want?" Mother asks, "Will this make you happy?"
"It will Mother. He is the one I will be with forever in life and in death no matter where destiny takes us", I say with my head held high and looking into my Father and Mother's eyes
"Very well. I will give my blessing. But if he betrays us he will be dealt with like any Asgardian", Father says firmly
"He will never betray me father. Thank you", I say hugging him
Father stiffen but then relaxes.
"You can look it the ancient library for the information you need", Father says
"I will come with you", Loki says
"That will be good I need some held so this gets done faster", I say thanking my brother
"It is a pleasure big sister. Let's go to the library", Loki says
"Thank you my King for the help", I say curtsying to my father
The All-father nods and lets Loki and I leave. We search the library for hours finally I come across an ancient text showing me I can have Clint age like me. With the transferring of our blood as we wed. I sigh with relief. Hopefully Clint will do this with me.
"Found it sister?" Loki asks
"Yes. I need to share blood with my soulmate to allow him to age the Asgardian way", I inform my brother
"Are you leaving now?" Loki asks
"No. I need to make a wedding gift for Clint", I state
"What are you going to do?" Loki asks
"I am going to make him an Asgardian Bow and Quiver"
