It turned out, as I predicted, the people to survive were Audun, some sailors, and I. People from Norway and other countries found out about the raid and sailed over here. They are building new structures; this is bringing in a lot of new settlers.
Since it was found out that I represented the islands I have been living in the castle (No, it wasn't destroyed.). Living in such place feels odd….
The new settlers treat me with a lot of respect. They were often bringing me things, even though I tell them not to. Since they were so kind to me, I helped them out.
One day Audun wasn't up before me, which is kinda weird considering I sleep in just about every day. I didn't worry about though. He must have gotten back late the last night, so he was probably tired.
I didn't see him around noon. I dismissed the thought; he was probably busy. He was an important person to this land after all. But then I began to worry around three' o' clock. I still hadn't seen. Then I asked a servant about his whereabouts.
"You haven't checked on him at all?" She said "He's sick right now."
"What?"
"We don't know how he got sick. All we know is that he was throwing up this morning."
As soon as I finished talking to the servant I went to his room and tapped on the door. There was no answer so I walked in. Then I saw him laying down on his bed.
His face was sweating a bit, so there was a wet cloth on his forehead. He was also sleeping, so if I stayed I would have to be quiet.
I went over and felt the cloth. It wasn't wet anymore. Then I carefully removed it and I put a new one in it's place.
As I laid it on his for head, I noticed he was waking up (crap).
I tried to get out of the room as quickly as I could, but it didn't work.
"You shouldn't be in here." He said with a weak voice.
I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not dead yet, am I? Or is this the heaven in which you are living a death that won't ever end?"
"No, you aren't dead. You could get sick from being in here. I don't need you getting sick, since you are the person who can fill my spot."
(OK, that was kinda sweet until the last part.)
"You should go back to bed soon, if you want to get back to business." I said with a smart-ass look on my face.
"Yes, and you should be doing your job." he said to counter me.
"No, I don't feel like it. Maybe I'll stay here..." I said as I sat down in a corner
(three hours later, Iceland's POV)
I got up from my bed. Then I walked over to where she had fallen asleep. Even though I was sick, I was able to pick her up.
It worries me. She is a lot lighter than she should be. I don't think she's sick, but she has an unhealthy weight. I wonder why she would be starving herself.
I sighed.
"Sometimes I wonder whether you're an idiot or you're a goof off. I can't help but worry about you some days..." I said
I took her to her room. (Luckily there weren't any servants, because they would either get upset that I was awake or wonder why I was carrying her.) Then I gently laid her down on her bed and went back to work.
(The next day, Annika's POV)
I woke up on my bed. That's odd because I remember last being in Audun's room. Don't even tell me that he put me in here. He's sick, he shouldn't be doing anything like that.
I got dressed quickly so I would be able to see him. He was probably still sick. It made me a little bit sad to see him like that. Even if I liked to mess with him, he was still my friend.
I didn't knock on his door when I came to it. I just walked in. That was a little mistake.
I saw Audun...
and he didn't have a shirt on...
I think he must of heard me because he turned around to face me. My face turned blood red. I could feel my face getting hotter as each mili-second went by, so I quickly turned around walked away as fast as I could without running.
