Freyja flew through the woods like a weasel. Every time the Dvergrs thought they saw her, she quickly changed her course and disappear from their view, making it hard for them to follow her. Venlingr insisted on chasing her. They already sent some Dvergrs to chase after the weapon, so no worry about that. Just he wanted to get rid of this girl who kept escaping his grasp.

Freyja, while flying as fast as she can, noticed the decrease in the number of Dvergrs following her. She bit back an irritated sound. Her plan was to distract the Dvergrs into following her and send Jay and the others off town, where no citizens can get harmed.

Clearly, the Brisíngamen was acting crazy again, since they found out that the necklace was not with her. Maybe that was because she used it. She still didn't know exactly what that necklace does, but when she fought with the Dvergrs in the junkyard, she felt an energy. A different, alien energy coming from not her own. The energy flew inside her then to her fist, and exploded. Maybe that was why the Dvergrs were after it. Not just because it gives them access to Odin's armory. As she think of it now, it was weird that the Asgardians never searched for her either. Surely they'll need to access their armory, right? Maybe there was more to the treasure she held than she knew.

Enough with the catch-me-if-you-can game. Freyja decided that this far into the forest was enough. Besides, they didn't have the tracker with them now, and they can't fly. Freyja suddenly shot up to the sky. The Dvergrs stopped and hopelessly looked up at her. She glanced down and watched the forest get small. While in the air, she quickly turned and flew toward the outskirts of the town.

Lucas was driving a truck. Mabel sat at the passenger seat next to him and Jay sat behind them. Jay was looking at the Brísingamen like it was a ticking time bomb. Well, in a way it was.

"Okay, this thing won't turn off. I think we'll soon draw all those aliens to us." Jay was nervous.

"Maybe Freyja will be able to distract few of them," Mabel said in a worrying voice.

"We've got tales." Jay glanced behind them and saw a group of aliens running toward them.

"They look more horrifying than I expected!" disgust filled Jay. Their truck sped up, they drove as fast as they could in an empty highway.

However, in few minutes, the Dvergrs were clearly visible in their sight. With their truck, they would soon be caught up.

"Look!" Mabel shouted with surprise, pointing at the fast-moving object in front, heading directly toward them. When the object flew closer, they realised that it was Freyja.

"We're gonna hit her!" Lucas screamed and tried to pull off.

"Keep going!" Freyja yelled as she came even closer. She was barely above ground, her feet nearly touching it.

When Freyja reached right ahead of the truck, her feet pushed her off the ground. She jumped over the truck, turned head over heels, and hit the ground hard with her fist. Her power created a shock wave and it smashed the road and made a gigantic crack. The Dvergrs all fell because of it, and there were no survivors. The shock had an effect on the truck as well. The back wheel lifted due to the impact and the truck almost flipped forward. Fortunately, they were able to settle their truck and put a stop on it.

"Everyone alright?" Freyja asked. Around where she stood, the ground sank down.

Their victory didn't last long. Venlingr will find them again and they had to run away as fast as they could.

"Thank you for all you've done. But I think I should go alone from now on." Freyja said sadly to Jay, Mabel and Lucas.

"Do you have any other plan?" Mabel was worried about her. She rarely shared her thoughts and it made Mabel concerned.

"Maybe, but I'm not sure," Freyja lowered her eyes and stared at the ground.

"Look, it's getting dark and the necklace stopped sparkling. Why don't we just go find some place to rest and think about it tomorrow?" Jay interrupted. He was right, sun was already gone and it would be too dangerous to send them back home without her.

They got to the nearest village with the truck. There were few houses, a hostel, and some shops. They rented one room for the night and everyone else except Freyja soon fell asleep. She kept her eyes on the necklace and tried to defeat sleepiness. However, she soon lost the battle despite the effort.

Freyja was standing in the road.

'It's a dream again.' She remembered the feeling. She remembered the dream that showed her of Cassy's death. Freyja looked around her. Nothing looked bad, just ordinary village with ordinary people. She noticed Mabel heading to the back of the hostel to go get the truck. Freyja's stomach began to tighten. She knew where this was going. Suddenly, from the corner, a car jumped out and hit Mabel. Freyja stood there and watched Mabel's body fly through the air and hit the wall nearby. She fell to the ground, motionless and her joints twisted in weird shape. Blood made a pool around her body. Her face was smashed so bad to be even recognised. Freyja felt the world spin around her. She closed her eyes tightly, she was about to throw up.

Next morning, Freyja woke up, gasping. Jay was looking down at her.

"Bad dreams? You were sweating badly."

Freyja noticed Lucas and Jay already dressed up and ready to leave. She quickly searched the room, but Mabel was nowhere to be seen. Freyja screamed at Jay who was now picking up his backpack, "Mabel! Where is she?!"

"Mabel? She went to get the truck. Get ready, she'll come be back soon." Lucas mumbled while brushing his hair.

"NO! NO!" Freyja panicked and shot straight up and stormed out the room.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Jay questioned and followed her.

Freyja hastily searched for Mabel. She remembered her being in the back of the hostel in her dream and ran toward the back. In front of her, Mabel was slowly walking to the parking lot, swinging the truck keys in her hand.

"Mabel! Stop!" Freyja yelled and went at her desperately. Mabel looked back and Freyja saw a car coming from the corner. Freyja jumped at Mabel and managed to push her and Freyja herself out of the way. They fell on the ground and Freyja groaned. She immediately confirmed Mabel's state and sighed in relief when she saw Mabel fine.

She stumbled but slowly stood up. After shaking off the dust, she heard whispers and people's frightened and shocked voices. Freyja didn't understood what it was about and turned around to check the car. But when she saw the scene of the accident, she moaned and closed her eyes. Yes, Freyja did succeed on saving Mabel. What she didn't know was that the car hit Jay who was following her instead. Death had to come in some way, she realized. The death she saw had to take someone she cared about. And there was no way she could stop it, she could only change its victim.

So, I know it's short and low-quality. But I thought it was better than nothing. As the class started, I'll be uploading new chapters once a week. Hope you enjoy!
