Tap, tap, tap...
Tamsin groaned attempting to open her eyes she stretched trying to work out the kink in her neck from the uncomfortable position she had worked her way in on the backseat of her truck. Blinking a few times trying to focus, she rubbed her temples, it seemed that the alcohol had set in a little more while she had been sleeping.
Tap, tap, tap... the sound was a little louder this time. "Whatever is making that noise, had better have a damn good reason for waking me up, or i'm gonna tap, tap, tap your teeth out" she grumbled. It was still early morning, the sun was only just beginning to rise on the horizon casting an orange glow across the sky.
"Well, if it isn't the infamous Valkyrie herself, I see you still have a way with words." chirpped a familiar voice. Tamsin's head snapped to the window, shit, she thought to herself, she knew it was only a matter of time before 'He' sent someone but she had hoped to be a little less inebriated and a little more prepared when it happened.
"Brynhild?" Tamsin stared questioningly at the other Valkyrie, she was as beautiful as Tamsin remembered, not unlike herself she had pale skin and long blonde hair which was tied in a bun, her piercing blue eyes sparkled and a soft smile played on her face. "Are you gonna come out and greet me, or am I going to have to break in there and fish you out" the other blonde said playfully. Tamsin jolted upright and scrambled out the door scooping the blonde into a tight hug before planting her in place in front of her, a frim grip on either shoulder. "What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were... I thought..." she shook her head in disbelief, 'maybe i'm drunker that I thought' she looked around, still suspecting to be ambushed. "How bout we go grab a coffee and i'll explain it all to you over breakfast" Brynhild suggested. "Ok, but your paying, think of it as an apology for waking me up." Tamsn smirked and led them to a little cafe not far from where she had parked for the night. It was a quiet little cafe hidden away down an alleyside, Tasmsin figured it would be best to keep low key.
They sat down in a corner booth at the back of the cafe, once they had their coffee's at the table and breakfast ordered Tamsin began her interogation;
"Sooo...are you gonna tell me what you're doing here? Not that I'm not glad to see you, it's been a while and I thought that you, you were dead? Plus there's some...stuff going on right now."
"200 hundred years to be precise, you're not easy to track down, but that's exactly why i'm here Tamsin...I've come to.. " she went to explain but was quickly interjected.
"So he sent you did he? why make with the friendly, why didn't you just kill me while i was sleeping?" she huffed.
"Tamsin" the other blonde said with a sympathetic frown "That's not what I came for, I came to give you a heads up. I mean, Iv'e been in your position before remember, after i was cast out I was attacked, I was so close to death" her voice softened as she continued "But Freyjr, she took me in and she saved me, kept me hidden and now she has sent me to claim you."
"Freyjr? Why?" Tamsin was confused, it had been 2 centuries since she saw Brynhild, they were close, they trained together and fought side by side for countless battles. Then Bryhild did the unforgivable, she fell in love with a mark, last she heard she had been cast out by Odin for betraying him, he killed her lover and word spread that she had been killed also.
"Because Tamsin, Odin is out of control, he is planning on taking over the fae and humans alike, he wants to start a war, you're the best we've got it's the only reason you're still alive, she wants you on our side, she is offering you protection but there are... conditions" she played with the coffee cup before taking a sip.
"Conditions?" Tamsin said with an arch of her brow.
"There is a prophecy, it fortells of a fearless and noble warrior, half god, half fae. They possesses the power of both the dark and the light. Destined to rise above all. Only they have the key to destroying Odin and restoring peace. However, if Odin finds them first he will use their power for himself and become unstoppable." She stared into Tamsin ice green eyes, waiting for her to take in everything she had just said.
"Bo." Tamsin whispered as it dawned on her, "You want Bo?" she started to get angry "How can I trust you, how do I know you're not working for him? I won't let you have her"
"Because Tamsin, i fell in love too remember." she stared into the other Valkrie's eyes, it was unnerving.
"I'm not in love." she grumbled looking down for fear that the Other blonde would see right through her.
"Look I have to go, you have 1 week to bring her to Freyja or we will come get her ourselves, Odin is close, he knows you're not going to give her up and he won't wait much longer. If he gets to her before we do.." she let out a long sigh and stood up to leave placing money for breakfast onto the table before walking over to Tamsin, she placed a hand on her shoulder and continued "But I must warn you, if we have to come and get her, Freyja won't be so kind as to offer you protection anymore." and with that final statement she turned to the door and left.
