Jennie woke up from a nightmare. She sat up in her sleeping bag with a screech. Delilah opened her eyes groggily and Ren yelped. "WHOAH WHAT'S HAPPENING?" Jen panted, her eyes wide and her hand on her chest steadily.
"A-Annerledes, she's gone!" Jennie mumbled.
"What do you mean?" Delilah asked quickly, sitting up in the darkness.
"Wait," Ren said in a timid voice, standing up and feeling around the room for the light switch. Soon, a comfortable orange glow lit up the cold room. The girls looked around but Christie was no where to be seen.
"Oh no," Jen cried. "Girls, we need to go NOW."
"She must be looking for Loki," Delilah groaned, standing up and fetching the girl's coats.
"Wait, are we going n-now?" Ren stuttered in fright. She clearly wasn't the bravest girl in the palace.
"Yes, NOW, Ren! We need to get Annerledes, NOW," Delilah said, throwing Jen and Ren their coats.
"But it's pitch black and we haven't been given the all clear yet! We could be killed!" Ren exclaimed, catching her coat and hugging it close to her.
"What if Annerledes is already DEAD?" Jen shouted. "We have no time!"
"So where do you suggest we go?" Delilah asked, getting her shoes on.
"I don't know, but we should ask Heimdall the gatekeeper if he's seen her anywhere. If not, we'll just check around Asgard," Jennie instructed, quickly tying up her long wavy brown hair. Ren groaned and did up her boots quickly.
"Alright, but I think we should be careful," Delilah suggested boldly. "Do any of you have...abilities?" There was a tense silence in the room.
"I...I can see what other people are doing, I can sense whether they're in danger and I can kinda read minds," Jen muttered, scratching her head.
"Since when?" Delilah asked in shock.
"Well...since I moved to Asgard. But we have no time, I'll tell you about it a little later. Anyone else?"
"I have a good sense of direction," Ren admitted, shrugging slightly.
"And I'm best at weapons," Delilah nodded. "That's handy. We also don't know how long we will be away for, so we should bring some possessions." Jen ran to the kitchen and shoved the dinner leftovers into a small cloth bag, along with a few slabs of cheese and meats.
"Good, let's go," she said swiftly, ushering the girls to the door. Ren and Delilah went quickly through the door into the freezing cold corridor. Ren did up her fur coat tighter and waited for Jen to come through the door. The corridor they were in was long, dark and barren.
"Well, Jen, where are we going?" Delilah asked quickly. Ren furrowed her bright red eyebrows and stepped forward, taking a deep breath in and shutting her eyes.
"We need to go forward a few paces," she muttered, walking already. Delilah and Jen caught up with her and nearly bumped into her as she suddenly stopped. "Round this corner," Ren muttered, turning right.
"Isn't anyone a little scared?" Ren mumbled as they all approached the large rainbow-esque road that led to the gate.
"A little," Delilah admitted, steadily walking up the glassy bridge. Jen helped Ren across as she slowly shuffled her feet, scared of falling.
"Come on, Ren, we're nearly there," she smiled comfortingly. Ren walked a little faster and eventually they made it to the gatekeeper.
"What are you ladies doing out right now?" Heimdall frowned.
"We're looking for Miss Annerledes," Delilah told him.
"She's in the land of the Frost Giants," Heimdall sighed heavily. "But she's with the AllFather, Loki, Sif, Thor and the Warriors Three. She will be safe."
"No she won't!" Ren shouted. "PLEASE Heimdall, let us pass."
"No!" Heimdall boomed. "It's too dangerous."
"Why not?" Delilah demanded to know.
"Because she'll be fine."
"Hang on, you just said she'll be fine but it's too dangerous for us...um the sense that makes?" Ren scoffed.
"Jen, you're up," Delilah muttered under her breath.
Jen gulped and stepped forward. Her hands reached up to the temples of Heimdall's face and she touched them gently. He suddenly stared directly into her eyes and then he saw what destruction was happening at the moment, and what would happen if the girls didn't arrive. Jen saw as well and began to cry. Her hands snapped back straight away and covered over her mouth.
"JEN!" Ren yelled, rushing to her side and holding her shoulders close.
"What's going on?" Delilah asked in terror, looking at Jen's eyes fill with tears and her shoulders began to shake.
"We need to go now, they're all gonna be in trouble, let's go," Jen groaned tearfully.
"Please Heimdall! You saw the destruction, let's go!" Ren hurried him. Heimdall nodded reluctantly and plunged his sword into the device and opening the portal up.
"Let's go!" Delilah yelped, holding the girls hands and plunged into the open portal, down into the land of the Frost Giants. But what was going to happen there...not even Jen was able to predict.
Who's your favourite servant girl? Jen, Christie, Delilah or Ren? Leave your answer in the reviews :) I'm thinking of 'letting go' of one but I don't want to do everyone's favourite and I can't do Christie of course. So that's all I wanted to know (: xx
