Chapter 4

Eirwen and Isolda both walked over to the basket and Eirwen began to unpack the basket. She handed one of the blankets to Isolda and she took the other blanket. They both wrapped Loki and Kiki in their blankets and they put them in the basket. Suddenly, they all heard a knock at the door and Farbauti looks at her handmaidens and they see that their Queen looks worried and before they could say anything.

"Eirwen, Isolda, run and take my babies far away from this place." Farbauti said and with her ice power she made her babies names appear on their blankets. There came another knock at the door, but this time it was a little more forceful.

"Who is it?" Farbauti asked worry coloring her voice.

"It's me wife, open the door." Laufey said.

"Go away Laufey, I don't want to see you." Farbauti said and she began to give her handmaids last minute instructions via hand signals so her husband won't hear.

Eirwen covered the twins up with extra blankets and the rest of the dresses except for the dress she would wear later. "Farbauti, open this door now woman!" Laufey yelled.

Farbauti could hear that her husband is about to break down the door and she knew that she had to make sure that her twins get out of here before their father sees that she has had a plan to keep her babies safe and away from him.

"Go you two take the secret door in the wall to the right. Go quickly and please keep my babies safe." Farbauti said breathlessly and also a little tearfully.

Eirwen grab the basket holding the royal twins and Isolda ran to the right wall containing the secret door. She opens the door and both handmaidens ran in the secret room that was hidden behind the wall. The door closes quickly just as a furious Laufey entered the room.
