Trigger Warning: Child Grooming and underage relationships are a heavy theme in this, so you have been warned. Anyone who is triggered by Child grooming and Underage should leave now.
Author's Note: I also by no means do Condone underage relationships or Child grooming and Paedophilia in any way, this is a work of fiction. And if I did I Condone it, I wouldn't of made Eivor lose her job and get arrested (as real groomers in a position of trust do) so that proves my point that I don't support or like the idea. I just thought it would be an interesting touch, as in Valhalla Eivor is like a mentor/teacher to Oswald, then I got inspiration from another AU fic in the modern day from another author about Oswald going to a private school so I decided to write this fic of Eivor being a History teacher in modern day England who happens to teach Oswald and a couple of Valhalla characters in her class. I am by no means copying said author, My idea is Original. All characters belong to Ubisoft, except for my OCs. Enjoy the story!
It was another Ordinary Friday Afternoon at Ravensthorpe Academy, Eivor was walking around the class checking up on her students and giving them extra worksheets to complete.
When she thought that every student had their head down occupied, scribbling the answer to the Coursework about Harald Godwineson, the last Saxon King before the fall of England in 1066, she approached Oswald placing a hand on his shoulder.
Villi Hemmingson, a fellow student looked up at that moment stretching his arms out and his hand. This Goddamned essay about the Battle of 1066, was hurting his hand.
Right at that moment he saw Miss Varinsdottir scoot up to Oswald who smiled at her, as she sat close. Too close to him.
Villi continued staring from behind, feeling an uncomfortable sensation rising up from his gut. The past few lessons he had his suspicions that something was going on.
He had noticed the looks that Eivor gave Oswald, it was a little too friendly, and the fact that she always gave him "1-1" help even when he was one of the top students in the class, grade wise. And the detentions every week, for the littlest of things. Something was certainly going on here. He felt bad vibes.
Villi watched as Eivor tilted her angle so her back was covering Oswald's not before he caught her hand brushing his thigh.
Villi gasped, unable to concentrate on his work any longer. What the actual fuck? He felt a sick sensation coming across his stomach. No, this is wrong.
He quickly tapped another Raven-haired girl on her shoulder.
"What?" Valdis said annoyed
Villi quietly and urgently pointed to where Miss Varinsdottir was.
"What? I don't see anything" Valdis frowned confused
Villi whispered "Look Closer under the table"
Valdis gasped when she realised what was going on. She looked urgently towards Villi looking at him.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to report her or say anything? She shouldn't be doing that. Oswald is a minor and she's an adult, not just an adult a teacher as well"
Villi nodded vigoursly, taking his phone out of his pocket, quickly opening the camera app, hitting record on his iphone as he zoomed in on Miss Varinsdottir's hands brushing Oswald's thighs.
Villi continued filming her, until Eivor got up, not before placing a kiss on Oswald's cheek as he smiled back at her.
Villi quickly dug his head back into his work, as Valdis did the same next to him, feeling even more sick and uncomfortable, not realising his phone was still turned on and left on his lap.
Eivor smiled, checking up on Villi. "Everything alright? How are you getting on?"
"Pretty fine. I think I'll be fine. Thanks Miss" Villi answered, not looking Eivor in the eye.
Eivor frowned, noticing that light was coming from under the table and saw Villi's phone under the desk.
"You weren't using your phone in class were you Mr Hemmingson? You know the rules. Put it away before I put you in detention along with Oswald" She scolded
Villi whipped his head up in shock as he realised that Eivor was staring at him along with a few other students nearby, Oswald included.
He blushed at all the attention, quickly picking up his phone and turning it off.
"Um no I wasn't. Sorry Miss"
Eivor tutted before she continued walking around. Once she was out of earshot, Valdis tapped him on the shoulder.
"At least you got some evidence. Good. Are you going to tell the Principal?"
"Yes. Not before I stay behind and watch detention" he whispered back to her
Valdis eyes widened. "You're going to watch them in detention as well?"
"Yes. If she's touching his thighs in front of so many people, God knows what's happening behind closed doors. I feel sick to the core imaging it. She probably rapes him during detention"
Valdis was about to comment further, when Eivor stopped her sharply.
"Valdis. This is quiet time. You know exams are just around the corner. This time of year is very important. So stop talking and disturbing the other students!"
Valdis meekly nodded, uttering a quiet "Yes Miss" as the rest of lesson went on smoothly, with nothing further happening.
Soon the bell rang indicating that fifth period and Year 11 History Class was over.
"Thank you and remember mocks are coming up, so do your revision on Module 1 and 2 Viking and Saxon History. I will see you next week!" Eivor called as the other students left.
Villi walked out, Valdis following close behind as Eivor closed the door.
Villi walked further to the end of the Corridor where there was a cloakroom, out of view from the history classroom and department.
Villi sat down on the empty bench, planning on what his next move was. Oswald and Miss Varinsdottir were now in the classroom all alone, and all the other students were gone besides him and Valdis.
"What are you doing here?" he frowned towards her, confused as to why she was still there.
"I'm coming with you. I'm not letting her abuse Oswald like that. She deserves to be punished for what she did"
Villi nodded. "Very well then. Stay back while I go up closer to investigate"
"Villi. Villi Where are you going?" Valdis hissed after him, but he was gone.
He walked closer to the Classroom, crouching below the glass window so he couldn't be seen. He heard Eivor's voice laughing and flirting.
He lifted his head up taking a peek. He couldn't believe what he saw. Oswald wasn't doing any work at all, like he should have done in a normal detention, and Eivor was close, far too close to him.
He felt uncomfortable as he watched Eivor flirt with him, stroking and playing with his hair while he smiled and laughed.
Villi frowned. Oswald likes her as well? Ew. I thought it was one sided. Still it's Wrong.
He watched further from his hidden position. He gasped as Eivor pulled him into a hug and Oswald hugged her back.
Holy Fuck. This can't be happening. No. Fucking. Way. So she's a fucking Pedo as well? Sick bitch.
He whipped out his phone once more, taking pictures. This would indeed come in useful when he went to the headteacher's office.
He nearly dropped his phone in shock as Eivor moved from embracing him to full on snogging him .
What the actual fuck? Oh my god this is too much. I got to report this to the principal. I can't let her do that to other kids. This is disgusting.
He was stuck in his position, frozen in shock as he numbly took more pictures.
Eivor's loud voice laughing and walking closer to where he was, woke him up from his shock.
Move, before she spots you! His brain urged him.
He crouched, slipping out of the way just in time, as Eivor's full form came closing the curtain.
Villi quickly walked back to the cloakroom, where Valdis was sitting still waiting for him. His hands were shaking, barely holding his phone.
"You look like you've just seen a ghost!" Valdis joked trying to hide her nervousness, if Villi was this nervous, things were not good.
"Good thing you stayed here. You would not believe the shit that goes on in there and what she's capable of. God she's sick"
Valdis eyes widened in shock. "Oh god. What did she do? Show me"
Villi unlocked his phone and passed it to her as Valdis gasped in shock, nearly throwing the phone to the floor in fury.
"We need to go to the principal right now! This can't go on anymore. He doesn't know it but she's abusing him, a minor. It's for his own good and for the other kids here. God knows who she'll target next!"
Villi couldn't agree more as they walked the corridor quickly, passing the Dark classroom which was now curtained up.
Villi tried not to feel sick, instead focusing on the task as they approached the headmaster's office.
"Mr Ragnarsson!" Villi called knocking on Halfdan's door.
"Mr Ragnarsson. It's urgent, we need to talk to you now. This is very important!" Villi continued
Halfdan had his feet up on his desk, eating ice cream and was watching a sitcom when he heard Villi's loud banging and knock on the door.
Placing his foot down, he opened the door. "Alright. Keep your hair on. I'm coming"
Only to frown in Confusion. "Villi, Valdis. What are you two doing in my office at this time of the day? Shouldn't you be at home?"
"We should be. But we couldn't. And I'm glad I didn't as I found out something. You need to get rid of Miss Varinsdottir immediately"
Halfdan laughed. "Miss Varinsdottir? You mean Eivor? Why?"
Valdis spoke up. "You won't believe it. But We Caught Miss Varinsdottir hugging and kissing one of her male students. She's got him in detention right now, but it's not really detention she just likes to say that so she can get him under her skin"
Halfdan's face paled for a second as he looked like he was about to faint.
"Mr Ragnarsson? Are you ok?" Villi worriedly asked
"Yes I'm fine. Miss Varinsdottir? Are you Sure? Do you have any proof?"
Villi whipped his phone out, unlocking it. "Here. I took photos of it. First in class when she was stroking his thighs, then when she hugged him after class and lastly when she kissed him"
Halfdan took the phone, scrolling through the various pictures before giving it back to Villi.
"In normal circumstances, I would be telling you off for using your phone in school areas, but because of your reporting of Miss Varinsdottir's behaviour and because without the phone you wouldn't of gotten evidence, I let you off"
"Valdis, Villi. Thank you for coming to me with this information. I am glad you reported this to me. Ravensthorpe Academy does not tolerate any abuse whether it's from staff or students, so I'm glad you didn't turn a blind eye and told me about it. You can go home now. It will be sorted."
"What will you do now?" Villi asked, turning to Halfdan.
"I will have a stern word with Miss Varinsdottir. Don't worry she won't be near Children or any Schools for a while after this"
Satisfied with Halfdan's response, Villi and Valdis left the building.
"Good Riddance. At least we won't have a Pedo in our school anymore" Valdis said as they walked out of the school.
"I still can't believe it. Miss Dottir, grooming students like that. I really thought she was a nice teacher. I enjoyed history with her. I can't believe she would do that. Abuse Oswald like that" Villi murmured gloomily
Valdis came up to Villi placing a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, you did the right thing. Because we spoke up, other kids will be protected and saved now. If you didn't god knows how many more she would abuse"
Villi grimaced. "Thanks Val. And yes I would hate to think about that"
Meanwhile, a pissed off Halfdan was walking towards the history classroom.
I can't believe I let such a sicko into my workplace. I trusted her, she seemed so nice and charming. The perfect fit, new, young. Then she turns around and does this.
Halfdan stopped by the classroom, knocking on the door.
"Miss Varinsdottir? It's me Halfdan. I need to have a word with you"
Eivor and Oswald froze pulling back from one another, they had been kissing and were about to undress each other when Halfdan's voice stopped them and he didn't seem happy.
Eivor buttoned up her blouse as she straightened her hair, Oswald doing the same with his hair, tie and shirt.
"Stay here, Oswald. I'll handle him" Eivor said sternly
Oswald nodded, sitting on his chair, as he let Eivor handle Halfdan.
Halfdan walked in, observing the classroom around him before spotting Oswald.
"Good evening Oswald" he greeted warmly
"Good evening Mr Ragnarsson" Oswald politely answered him
"Don't worry you are not in trouble, Oswald. Far from it. I'm here to release you from detention actually. I need to have a word with Miss Varinsdottir but you can go home"
"I can go home. Are you sure?" Oswald answered in surprise
"Yes. I'll be fine Oswald. Go home and take the weekend off. You worked hard enough already. I'll see you next week" Eivor smiled back at him
Oswald grinned in glee. "Yes. I get longer to play Forza. Thanks Miss!"
Eivor laughed. "See you later Oswald!"
Oswald grinned as he skipped out of the classroom, not knowing that was the last time he was going to see Eivor as they had been caught.
Eivor closed the door behind him as she smiled nervously facing her colleague and superior.
"Halfdan. You said you wanted to talk to me what's the matter"
Halfdan frowned at her, trying his best to keep his fury within him.
She has the audacity to turn around and keep calm to me after she abused him in here. Ok. Keep calm Halfdan, Keep calm. Deep Breaths.
"I want you to leave Miss Varinsdottir. If you don't, I will call the police. I know what you did"
"What?" Eivor nervously laughed "Halfdan, are you ok? I've just been having detention with Oswald, nothing's been going on here"
Halfdan slammed his fist on the table, making Eivor jump.
"Is that true? Even now you deny it."
"Deny what? Halfdan. I swear I haven't done anything. Look you can even ask Oswald. He'll tell you nothing happened here and the other students too." Eivor said starting to get annoyed
"I don't need to ask Oswald. He'll just deny it. After you wrapped him around your finger and made him believe that you were in love with him. Your disgusting and sick. The school has no place for people like you"
"Halfdan. What are you on about? Do you even hear yourself. You got no evidence against me!" Eivor almost shouted
"Oh yes I do" Halfdan retorted, whipping his work phone out.
Eivor stared in shock and horror at Halfdan's phone screen. On the screen was a photo of the back of her, cuddling and embracing Oswald along with a video of her stroking his thighs.
"Got nothing to say now?" Halfdan put the phone down, satisfied.
"I... How ... How did you get these?" Eivor stuttered, lost for words.
"Another student sent these to me. And before you think about punishing him you won't need to. Your not welcome at Ravensthorpe Academy anymore"
"What?! Halfdan, please. I'm sorry. Please don't fire me, you know this job is everything for me. I'll lose my house and everything I've worked for. My reputation will be tarnished!" Eivor begged
Halfdan scoffed bitterly "You should of thought about that, before you laid your hands on one of the students here. You know that Child Grooming is illegal and you still did that. In fact losing your home will be the least of your worries"
Halfdan picked up the phone as Eivor looked at him in horror.
"No, Halfdan please" she quietly pleaded
But her cries fell on deaf ears, as Halfdan proceeded to dial 999 on the phone.
"Hello. Yes. Can I have Police here"
"Hmmm. Yes I have a child predator here. I caught one of my colleagues and teachers abusing one of my students. I've already fired her, but I need police here. She needs to know her place"
The operator on the other side replied. "We are getting Police as fast as we can to your location. A officer will be with you shortly"
"Thank you" Halfdan placed the phone back on the desk as Eivor tried to make a run for it.
Halfdan however was faster to the door than her. He ran in front of her blocking her way to the door.
"No-uh. You're not going anywhere until the police get here. You belong in Prison"
Eivor sobbed, croaking. "Please. Halfdan. Just let me go. I'll never touch Oswald or another Kid ever again. They'll kill me in prison. I won't survive a day in there"
Halfdan shook his head, proceeding to lock it with his staff room key.
"You're staying with me here in Eivor, until the police come. Whether you like it or not you can explain it to them. I'm sure they like to listen to Child abusers talk"
"No. No ... No ... NOOOOO!" Eivor yelled out as a broken cry.
A few minutes later, a knock came on the door.
"Mr Ragnarsson? It's the Police"
Halfdan got up from his chair as a broken Eivor looked up at him.
She glared at him as he opened the door. "That's her. You can arrest her. She's the Child Predator I'm talking about"
The officers approached Eivor. "Miss Varinsdottir, I am placing you under arrest for Child Grooming. "You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."
As the officers proceeded to handcuff Eivor, she resisted. "Let go of me! I haven't done anything. It was consensual. I didn't force him to do anything!"
"Miss Varinsdottir, I know you are upset. But Resisting won't help. You can get a Lawyer later in Court" The Officer told her
"I don't want to hurt you, but I will have to if you keep resisting!"
"NOOO!" Eivor screamed as she tried to elbow them out of her grip
"Grab her! Hold her down!" One of the officers yelled
With a grunt, they pushed Eivor down onto the ground as she cried and resisted. However it was no use, they were far stronger than her.
Finally after a long and agonising process for both parties, Eivor was cuffed and taken away.
"Thank you for your call Mr Ragnarsson. She will be dealt with in accordance with the law. You can go home now" The officer said as Halfdan nodded
Eivor was walked outside in the cold dark night air, as she was shoved into a police van that was awaiting her.
"Ow. Watch it!" She Yelled spitting on the ground as the Van's door Slammed shut.
Eventually they reached the local police station, and after some stripping, searching and brief questioning, Eivor was shoved into a cell that had a small bed along with a small barred window.
"Your to stay here while you wait for your court date. We will be questioning Oswald later on as part of our investigation. You are to sit here until then"
The door slammed shut once more as Eivor was left alone in the cell, once more wearing little more than a grey tracksuit.
She lied down sighing, staring at the wall. Awaiting her Fate.
Meanwhile, Oswald was unaware about what had happened. He was in his room cheering happily on his Xbox as he won a race on Forza Horizon 5.
It wasn't until days later, when he went back to school and that he realised Eivor was missing, even though he only had History class once a week he would still bump into her in the corridors and she would give him a warm smile and say Hi.
Then rumours started to swirl around.
"I heard Miss Varinsdottir got dismissed because the Headmaster found out that she was in a relationship with a student" One girl said Whispering
"Who?" The other girl asked curiously
"I think it was Oswald. Some other Kid in the class said she was always getting too cosy with him for her own good"
They continued to talk amongst themselves. Not before noticing Oswald and they went silent.
"Hello Oswald" One of them smiled sweetly, batting her fake eyelashes at him
That fake bitch. As soon as I come over to her she acts as if she wasn't talking about me. Backstabber.
"Which Kid? Who said that? Who said that about me?" He fumed, not bothering to pretend back to her
The other girl laughed. "Villi. He was the one who reported Miss Varinsdottir and started the rumour. Don't start shit with me, start it with him!" and with that she flicked her hair and continued with what she was doing
Villi? That cunt. I knew he was up to no good. No wonder Eivor told him off about the phone. That snake.
Before he could think about what he was doing, Oswald's hand was on Villi's neck.
"Oh Hey Oswald!" He greeted only to be met with hands around his school shirt.
"Why did you report Miss Varinsdottir? She lost her job because of you, you traitoring fuck!"
"Woah. Hey, Oswald. Calm down. I did it to protect you. I was just looking out for you like a bro should. She was abusing you. You don't know it but she groomed you. And that's not right"
"You did it to protect me?! She didn't do anything! If you were my mate you would have known better. But you didn't. She was my girlfriend and you took that away from me. I should have known it was you. That day with the phone. You grass!"
Villi laughed as he squared up to Oswald. "Dude. I don't mean to be rude. But a 25 year old teacher isn't exactly your girlfriend is she?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Oswald yelled as he threw Villi against the wall
Before Villi could get up, Oswald started kicking him as he put his hands in front of him trying to block the attack in self defence
A crowd had started to form. "Fight, Fight, Fight!" was heard as the students around them started chanting
"Go on, Fuck him up Oswald!" Another guy was heard shouting
Until a voice stopped all of them. "ENOUGH. Oswald, with me now"
The students moved back as Halfdan approached Oswald. He looked at Mr Ragnarsson, stopping to collect his breath as he stared down at Villi.
"We're over. Don't talk to me ever again. Arsehole" he spat at Villi
Villi looked back at his friend, wiping the blood that had come out of his mouth.
Halfdan took Oswald to his office where it was quieter, before closing the door.
"Oswald, I know you are upset with what happened. But What Miss Varinsdottir did wasn't right. We were trying to look out for you, your friends and me. But you can't just go around beating every student that upsets you over it' he said sternly
Oswald sat down, breaking down. "Why does everyone say that? She was nothing but nice to me. I know it sounds unbelievable but she was my girlfriend and you just took that away from me"
Halfdan sighed, before using a more gentle tone. "Oswald. She is a teacher and you are a student. A minor, by law. She shouldn't have done that. She abused her position of trust. Think of it happening to someone else outside in the street. If a 25 year old man was hitting on a 16 year old girl, you would be furious wouldn't you? You would call him a paedophile and you would want him to rot in jail wouldn't you?"
Oswald sighed frustrated. "I... Yes I would be. But me and Eivor were different. I wanted it too. Why am I not in trouble but she is?"
"Because she is an adult in this situation and you are a minor. The law protects minors. So therefore she is responsible" Halfdan explained
"That's Fucking Bullshit!" Oswald yelled
"Oswald, Language" Halfdan warned sternly
"Right. I'm sorry Sir, but that is simply ridiculous." he huffed angrily
"Tell that to the police then. I don't make the rules." Halfdan replied
Oswald got up, swinging his blazer back on as he stormed out.
"Where are you going?" Halfdan asked after him
"To talk to the Police, Mr Ragnarsson. So they change their mind"
"Oswald, I don't think that's a very good idea" Halfdan said
"Enough. I'm doing it. End of" Oswald seethed silencing him
Oswald stormed out of the school building, not caring that people were staring and frowning at him.
He walked to the nearest bus stop, and flagged down the nearest bus.
"To Ravensthorpe Police Station" he told the driver
"That would be £2.10 then"
Oswald handed the spare change to the driver as he sat down at the back, watching the buildings go past.
Soon, he got off. He entered the Police Station only to be greeted by a Sergant sitting on the desk.
"Hi, how can I help you?" he politely asked
"Where is Eivor Varinsdottir I must see her now!" He blurted looking around for any sign of Eivor around the cells desperately
He laughed "I'm afraid we can't let you in. These aren't Visiting hours. Are you her Lawyer? If not, nobody else is allowed, not even family. You'll have to wait until later"
Oswald balled his fists under the table, trying to keep his calm. Losing his cool would not be good in a time like this, especially in a police station. He had watched enough Police Interceptors to know that unlike Villi they would not take too kindly to him losing his temper here.
He tried again. "So She's in here right? You must do something. Eivor is innocent, I'm not a Victim. She shouldn't be here. She hasn't done anything wrong. She's not a predator, She's innocent. Therefore, she shouldn't be here. No crime was Commited. So can you free her. Please?"
The sergeant looked back at Oswald in surprise, and his pleading eyes before turning away.
"You're that Kid that she abused aren't you. Shouldn't you be in School right now?" his eyes narrowed to Oswald and his uniform
"I... Yes.. I should be..." he stuttered
"Then you should be in school then, ain't no way I'm letting you near her. In case she tries anything again. You should be anywhere but here"
Oswald gasped before his anger took over him. "She's my girlfriend. I'm sick of people saying that I'm a Victim of Grooming or whatever bullcrap that is. I'm not leaving here until you release her"
"Then I have no choice but to arrest you for wasting police time then" he replied sternly back to Oswald
"Fine. I don't care" Oswald grumbled
Just as he was about to be cuffed, a female detective's voice stopped him in his tracks.
"Stop! I'll take it from here!" The woman's voice said.
"Soma?" the sergeant looked towards a woman who was wearing a suit and had a black hair
"Yes." She nodded
"Don't worry. I'll talk to him. We need him in for questioning anyway"
Questioning? Oswald thought confused.
The woman stepped forward, interrupting Oswald's line of thought.
"Oswald?" She started
How does she know my name? Oh well, that's a question for later. He thought
"Yes?" he hesitated, not sure if he could fully trust her.
Soma noticed. Placing a hand on his shoulder she spoke: "My name is Soma Jarlskona and I'm a detective Sergeant. I am conducting the Investigation on Alleged Child Grooming that happened at Ravensthorpe Academy with you and Miss Varinsdottir. If you could come with me we can help each other and perhaps Miss Varinsdottir too"
Hearing her gentle tone and the fact that just maybe, they could help Eivor. Oswald immediately agreed.
Once they were out of the main hall, Soma stopped sitting down on a chair in her office as she started to flick through a series of paper. Oswald looked at her feeling a bit nervous and hopeful.
"Sit. Make yourself at home" Soma gestured towards the chair as Oswald sat down feeling a bit more reassured with her hospitality.
Soma Started the conversation once more. "I am not here to judge you. I want to know you more. I want to hear from your perspective. Anything you say will be kept in complete confidentiality. I want you to feel comfortable. Anything you say even if it's just a little will be helpful. In your own time of course"
Oswald gulped, taking a deep breath he continued. "I met Eivor, or should I say Miss Varinsdottir almost a year back when the school term started..."
"Go on, Keep Going. It's a good start" Soma encouraged while she wrote down some notes
"When I first saw her, I felt attracted to her like the other boys would do in the year, only she was much older." he stopped feeling bad and guilty
"Hmmm" Soma hummed while continuing to take some notes
"I tried to hide it and focus on my work, even if it was hard. But she noticed and saw through it"
"I see. How did it make you feel when Miss Varinsdottir noticed your feelings for her?"
Oswald blushed thinking back to that moment. "I felt happy. And also shy and embarrassed at the same time, that she could see my silly little crush I had for her"
"It's not silly. So What did Miss Varinsdottir do when she noticed?" Soma asked
Oswald smirked, trying not to laugh at the memory. "She called me for a 1-1 session after class. I was flabbergasted as to why I needed it having been a straight A student most of the term. But she insisted. So I listened"
"Continue" Soma waved a hand, gesturing for Oswald to continue
"Once everyone had left, and it was just me and her. She started immediately confronting me right there and then about how she could see my schoolboy crush on her"
Soma looked intrigued. "What was her reaction? Was she angry? Was she happy?"
Oswald Smiled "I thought she would be mad. But she was the opposite. Which surprised and made me happy at the same time. She was quite flirty about it actually"
"Flirty how? What did Miss Varinsdottir do to make her appear flirty?"
Oswald continued to smile as he got lost in the memory "She brushed my hair and Whispered in my ear that she also felt the same for me"
"Mhhmm I see" Soma replied before asking another Oswald another question
"Did She do anything further that day after she told you she felt the same for you?"
"No. But before we started dating, she had a long conversation with me about the consequences of what would happen if she was caught like now" his face dropped as he was reminded about the current reality, no longer living in the daydreams of the past.
"It's ok," Soma reassured. "You can tell me. I won't judge. What was the conversation about?"
"She warned me about what would happen if she got caught, she would go to prison. Then she asked me if I was sure, if I really wanted to do this with the risks that were involved. Stupidly I said yes, believing it would work."
"Hey! You're not stupid. I guess you just wanted things to work out. But you're not stupid." Soma gently scolded Oswald
"Thanks Soma." he replied
"So you started dating afterwards? How long after Miss Varinsdottir's confession to you about her feelings did you two start dating, like officially?"
"Um... Not long after actually. I would say about two, three weeks at most"
Soma nodded. "I understand. You can be honest with me, during the months that you were with Miss Varinsdottir did she engage in Sexual Activity with you? Besides Kissing and Hugging?"
Oswald froze and blushed at the question. God, do I really have to answer this? This is embarrassing. Thank God Villi didn't take pictures of us doing it. I should be thankful he wasn't there when it happened. If he already got photos of her hands on my thighs... gosh I don't want to think further.
As if sensing and reading his thoughts from a sixth sense, Soma spoke.
"You can just answer Yes and No, you don't have to answer deeply if you don't want to"
"Yes. We fucked a few times" and was about to, on that day. But didn't add that.
"I see. Thank you for answering that question. When you had sex with Miss Varinsdottir, Was it forced? Or did you want to do it as well?"
Is she trying to ask if Eivor raped me. Gosh. No, of course not.
Speaking his thoughts aloud, Oswald couldn't hide his annoyance.
"Are you trying to ask me if Eivor raped me? No. Eivor she never did. It was consensual I wanted to do it as well"
Soma looked up to see Oswald balling his fists on the table and reassured him.
"I know these questions are hard, but I'm asking as we need to know everything in order to help you and Miss Varinsdottir. You know rule out every possibility"
"She's not a Rapist Ok!" Oswald yelled
Soma on the other hand was Calm. She was used to seeing such things in the interrogation and interviews that she had done.
"Ok, Oswald. Would you like a break and to come back to it later? I can see you are a bit upset and this is triggering you. We can always come back to it later"
"No. I'm fine" he gritted begrudgingly sliding down on his chair, slouching.
"Alright. Let's continue then" Soma said
"So how did you and Miss Varinsdottir keep your relationship hidden from the other students in the Class. How did you hide your relationship for so long I mean?" Soma reiterated the question
"After that first detention she put me in. Me and Eivor came up with a little acting game that we would both do. It was called "The detention game". Eivor would make up an excuse as to why I should stay after class ranging from Daydreaming, forgotten homework, something along the lines"
Soma hummed nodding once again as she took down some more notes.
"So What were you doing in these detentions, How long were they?"
"The detentions were one hour long. And Eivor would make sure all the students were gone , meaning we waited 10 minutes for the hall to clear out, so nobody would hear us and then we could let loose. Sometimes we had sex, other times we just cuddled a lot"
"I see," Soma nodded understanding . It makes sense now, the timing of the photos being 10 minutes apart.
"How often would you see Miss Varinsdottir, did you have any contact besides the History Classes you attended?"
"I would see Eivor once a week every Friday during Class, and no. Sometimes I would see her in the corridor when walking to other lessons and she would be friendly and say Hi. Nothing over the top as we were in public. I tried getting her number and social media so we could stay in touch outside of class but she refused"
Soma looked at Oswald scrutinzing when she heard his answer.
"Refuse? What was Miss Varinsdottir's reason for refusing to stay in touch with you outside of class, can you tell me?"
Oswald shrugged "She said it was because if we got caught, there would be more evidence if we texted each other. She really wanted to but said it would be easier to hide if we didn't. It sucked but I could see why so I agreed and we dropped it"
Hiding Evidence and not getting his number on purpose so she could deliberately deny it when the time came. She knew what she was doing. Like the other Child Predators. This was a calculated move from Eivor.
Of course Soma didn't say that, but she knew the more Oswald spoke the more likely it was getting for Eivor to go to prison along with the photographic evidence the headmaster had provided her from the students.
"I see. Can you talk me over What happened that day. The day you last Saw Eivor?" Soma asked brushing the thought away as she turned over another piece of paper having filled it up with notes
Oswald sighed shrugging once more "I dunno. Just another ordinary day I suppose. I came in during Class and that day Eivor was acting more loving than usual. I don't know why she seemed in a good mood and couldn't take her hands off me. Normally we wait until no one is there, but during class she stroked my thigh which was a bad mistake because look where we are now"
Soma gave him a sympathetic smile. "It's not your fault Oswald. You're doing really well answering these questions. I just need a few more, then you are free to go"
"Ok" Oswald said as he stared at the desk in front of him
"What happened after Class, before the headmaster caught you both?" Soma pushed on
"The detention act again or so we thought. Me and Eivor were in the middle of making out when the headmaster interrupted us. He told me to go. Little did I know that was the last time I was going to see Eivor. He broke us up, that twat!"
"Oswald. Oswald Calm down. Nothing has been confirmed yet. There is Still a chance Eivor may go free. So don't jump to conclusions. This is why the investigation is so important." Soma Soothed
Upon hearing his words, Oswald calmed down immediately and sat down having just rose from his chair from frustration.
"That reminds me. The student who filmed Miss Varinsdottir stroking your thigh in the lesson. Villi Hemmingson. Are you close with him?"
Oswald stiffened upon hearing Villi's name. That traitor. Calm down, Oswald. Getting angry won't help you or Eivor. Focus.
"Villi? I was. He was a good friend of mine we always looked out for each other. Until he did what he did"
"I see" Soma answered before firing another question. "Would you say Villi is a trustworthy person? Does he lie?"
Oswald sighed. "Unfortunately yes. He may keep information like this away from me but he has never lied to me once. You can trust him"
"One last question, Oswald" Soma started before continuing
"During your time of dating Miss Varinsdottir - How did you feel? Did you feel comfortable with her? How would you describe your relationship with her?"
"I felt Comfortable. I felt Happy. I felt like I was loved and in love. She was my girlfriend and I loved her so. Age didn't matter. She treated me the same as well. I would say we had a good relationship, it was healthy. In another world we would of been like a normal couple if not for the age gap and the fact that she was a teacher" he said wistfully at the end
Soma stood up catching Oswald off guard. She reached out to him, placing one hand in front of her in an attempt of a handshake.
"Thank you for your time Oswald. That is it. I will keep in touch with you with the investigation. You may need to go to Court if the Case reaches that far and they decide to prosecute Eivor. I need to go and find out a few more things, but I will be in touch with you"
Oswald shook her hand back, confused. So this is it. After all this questioning. I hope Eivor goes free. She hasn't done anything wrong. I don't want to go to Court, I just want her back. I still love her even if this is fucked up. The whole situation is fucked up.
He took Soma's card. Looking at the details and placed it in his pocket before walking out and leaving the police station.
Meanwhile, Soma left the interview room and walked out heading for the coffee machine before dropping the paperwork and sighing.
"So how did it go?" The same Sergeant from earlier asked her.
"Not good. The answers given by Oswald and the Evidence provided is not looking good for Miss Varinsdottir. At this rate she's most likely going to prison"
"Good. That's where she belongs with the rest of the lowlife Pedos and Scumbags. She's just another one of them that needs to be dumped in the slammer"
Soma sighed while picking up her coffee.
"I got one more person to interview before we can close the case and pass it on to the judge. Villi Hemmingson. The kid who filmed Eivor. Once he's finished then we'll know what happen to her"
The sergeant nodded while sipping his coffee "Do what you got to do, Soma. As long as she rots in prison I couldn't care less. My job's done" before he walked away
Soma sighed once more, picking up the paperwork before going back to her office. She picked up the phone, dialling Ravensthorpe Academy's number.
The receptionist answered.
"Hello? Yes. My name is Soma Jarlskona and I am a detective from Ravensthorpe police station. I would like to speak to your student Villi Hemmingson regarding the current investigation on one of your former employees, Eivor Varinsdottir. Please pass a message to Villi telling him to come to Ravensthorpe Station when he has time. Thank you, Bye"
Soma placed her work phone down as she continued to shift through Oswald's file.
Hours later, Villi Hemmingson arrived having patched up from the fight earlier. The blood from his lips had dried, leaving only faint dried marks that looked like ketchup sauce from his lips. He had faint bruising on his jaw and bruises on his stomach where Oswald had hit him earlier.
"Good Afternoon, Villi. Thank you for Coming" Soma Greeted Villi
"Your Welcome, My Pleasure" Villi replied as he followed Soma to her office.
Soma sat down getting straight to the point.
"You know why I am here, and What I'm about to ask you"
"Yes. Oswald isn't it? Oswald and Miss Varinsdottir and my involvement"
"That's quite right, Villi. I'm going to ask you a few questions about What happened that day and a few about Miss Varinsdottir. Sit down. It may take a while" Soma informed him
Villi sat down as he waited for Soma to continue. Soma Started, clearing her throat as she looked through the file notes before facing Villi who looked at her expectantly once again.
"I know you caught Miss Varinsdottir touching Oswald's thigh and hugging him Last Friday afternoon and evening. Prior to that, did you notice any other suspicious behaviour coming from her and if you did how long?"
"Yes. Yes I did. In the recent two months, I noticed that Miss Varinsdottir always has 1-1 time with him, more often than the other students. Which is unusual as everyone knows Oswald is a smart kid, Straight A's, top of the class, so he needs the least help out of everyone but yet she still insists."
Soma narrowed her eyes before focusing on Villi once more. "And What happens during these 1-1s? Has she touched his thigh before?"
Villi shook his head. "No. That day was the first time she touched his thigh. However as I always sit behind Oswald, I noticed her touch his shoulder several times while smiling and flirting with him briefly. She doesn't do that with anyone else. She also sits really close to him their shoulders touching. I've seen her put her arms around him once as well when she thought no one was looking"
"I see," Soma said keeping a straight face while continuing to take notes. "So this made you suspicious and led to you checking that day after the thigh touching?"
"Yes. That was the final straw. I could no longer watch my good mate get abused by her even if he enjoyed it. She shouldn't be doing that. She may have fooled him into believing it's love but it's not. It's fucked up" Villi spat with disgust
"You did well, Villi. You did what was right. Standing by your friend and protecting him. We as the British Police take all reports of Child grooming very seriously so I'm glad you reported it to your Headmaster. You did the right thing" Soma assured Villi
"Thank you Soma. Your words mean a lot. Considering Oswald didn't take it to well."
"Oswald. I know you two aren't on the best of terms right now, but What would you say of Oswald - his personality, is he trustworthy? Do you trust him?"
Villi hesitated unsure whether to answer. "Um, Yes. He may have clocked me in the jaw, but I understand I did go behind his back after all without telling him so I deserved it. But yes, I trust him with all my heart. That Kid is too good for this world. Hence why he gets walked over on all the time"
"I see. What do you think of Miss Varinsdottir as a person as a whole, Before you discovered what her true nature was and when you discovered her true self. Tell me what you thought of her"
"Well, when she first came in half a year ago, Last September, I thought she was nice. Yes she was new, but she knew how to discipline us and make the lessons fun and interesting and not too tedious. She seemed professional as well, until I realised what she was doing behind closed doors. I actually liked her at the beginning" Villi answered
"Then?" Soma Prompted "What about last Friday when you found out she was abusing Oswald, how were you feeling when you took those pictures?"
"I felt sick. I felt disgusted. Everything I thought I knew about Miss Varinsdottir was thrown out of the window instantly. I was suspicious, yes, but I didn't know she would stoop that far. God, I hate to think what went on after the curtain was closed" Villi said trying not to puke at the thought.
Soma nodded not wanting to add what really went on once the curtain was shut. She didn't want to think about it either.
"I see." Was all she said instead. "Did you ever think about confronting Miss Varinsdottir when you saw her touch Oswald in the Classroom. Why did you stay Silent instead going to the Principal's office after?"
Villi Sighed torn. "Yes I did. But I didn't. I didn't want to humiliate Oswald. There's been enough rumours going around the school even with me reporting it quietly, he doesn't need anymore. Also I was worried what Miss Varinsdottir's reaction to me would be. So I let Mr Ragnarsson deal with it since he was head of school"
Good Choice. Soma thought mentally. He doesn't need to know what happened during Eivor's arrest. That's for another time.
"I understand. You were worried Miss Varinsdottir was going to lose it in front of you in front of the class so you didn't say anything, choosing to quietly report it instead. You made a wise choice. Safety is always important. Keep yourself safe when reporting Crime"
"Yes and Of Course. Thanks Soma" Villi replied
"So What made you finally take a picture of Miss Varinsdottir's abusive activities. You said you saw her put her arm around Oswald before, yet you didn't take a photo until Last Friday. Why is that?" Soma questioned
"I did. She even Kissed his cheek. I couldn't get that on camera as I had to hide my phone in class. Phones aren't allowed if you're caught it would be confiscated. I was scared of Miss Varinsdottir catching me then looking through my phone. So I just left it. That day with the thigh video, she almost caught me actually" Villi explained
"How did Miss Varinsdottir almost catch you using your phone?" Soma asked curious
"I was filming her under the desk. She suddenly moved her hand from his thigh, I didn't have time to react. I stopped the recording and threw it on my lap, not realising the screen was left on. She saw the screen and confronted me about it"
"I see. So when Miss Varinsdottir confronted you about your phone screen, how was she like? Angry, Annoyed, Livid or was she laid back about it, What was her response?"
"Miss Varinsdottir was quite annoyed. She wasn't livid, but she did specifically say "If it wasn't for Oswald, I would of been placed in detention and my phone would of been taken away" Villi replied
So she deliberately didn't punish the other students even when they got in trouble just so she could have a room to herself with the victim. Another calculated move from Miss Varinsdottir. Not looking good for her either. Soma thought to herself
"How did you feel when Miss Varinsdottir said that to you?" Soma asked pushing her thoughts away
"I felt relieved of course. But then I also realised that she didn't punish me on purpose and let me get away with it so she could have Oswald to herself. She knew she couldn't have me around because if I was there she couldn't have had the chance to Snog him. She's not that stupid"
"So that's why you decided to follow her, after the detention then snapped those photos. I see now"
"Yes that's right" Villi confirmed
"I have one more question for you, Villi then you can go"
"What is it?" Villi asked leaning back and slouching on his chair
"Do you think Miss Varinsdottir abused Oswald on purpose? If you were in my position, would you give her a second chance? Yes or no?" Soma said straight to the point
"No. Of course not. Why kind of question is that? She deserves to be banged up in prison where she can't touch any other kids ever again. She's a Pedo. People like that don't deserve Second Chances"
Soma nodded, tucking the paper into the file neatly. "That is it. You can go now. Thank you for your time, Villi"
Villi left shaking his head in disbelief at the situation.
For another few days, nothing further happened until Oswald got a text message from Soma.
Hey Oswald,
I have tried all I can to help Eivor but based on the information we have, she is guilty. She is due for a Court hearing at the magistrate's later in the afternoon. You can come if you want. Although I wouldn't advise on it. There is nothing else no one can do, except for her lawyer. We can only hope her Lawyer can get her out of this. Else it's likely Miss Varinsdottir will end up going to Prison.
Once again I'm sorry Oswald, I truly am,
Soma
Oswald stared at the phone, lost for words. He felt panic and terror rising inside of him.
Prison? Eivor's going to prison? They're going to kill her in there! That's what they do to the rapists and the paedophiles in there! I'll never see her again.
He threw the phone down on the bed, pacing back and forth in worry. Before he picked it up again, with a shaking hand he clicked on his web browser and went to google doing a search.
With a shaking hand, he typed: How long does someone go to prison for Child grooming?
In cases where the Child is under the age of 13, maximum prison sentence is 14 years. Causing a child to engage in sexual activity - up to 6 months imprisonment or a fine.
Communication sexually with a child - 2 years imprisonment. Causing a Child to watch an act sexually - 10 years, Meeting a child after grooming them sexually - 10 years imprisonment - Causing a Child to engage in sexual activity - 14 years.
Oswald gasped as he felt tears rolling down his cheeks and he placed the phone down. He couldn't bear scrolling further anymore.
I'm not under 13, I'm 16. So she shouldn't get 14 years. But she did make me have sex with her. Does that mean she will get at least 6 months, worst case she will be locked up for 14 years. I hope not. I don't want to lose her.
14 years? I'll be 30 then. I really hope she only gets 6 months or best being fined.
Before he could stop himself, he wiped away his tears, throwing on a tracksuit before slamming open the door and storming down the stairs, skipping lunch in the process.
"Where are you going?" His mum asked after him
"To court. I have to watch her trial."
"You are not watching anything. Over my dead body. I hope she gets punished and locked up for good, that disgusting wrench. I swear if she ever comes near me" His Mother started only to get cut off
"She's not a Wrench. She's my girlfriend. Leave her alone!" he shouted
His mum had to hold in a snicker. "Oswald, How many times do I have to tell you, She is not your girlfriend. She is a teacher, or was a teacher, an adult. She was never your girlfriend. Please don't go"
"Shut up. You don't know anything. Not at all. Why can't people just leave us alone? Why does the world have to be against us? She did nothing wrong. Her crime was being in love and the world had to punish her for it. Punish us. God, I hate everyone!" he screamed
"She groomed you. Your a child. For god's sake, that isn't love Oswald" His mum said
"I don't care. You can't stop me, You can't Stop us. I'll never give up until I have her back" before she could further retort, he slammed the door.
Oswald walked out of the door, wiping his tears away as he zipped up his tracksuit hoodie and put the hood on. Putting some music on to match his angsty mood, he got on the bus silently - heading to court once more.
Oswald sat at the court nervously. He had never been in court before, only seen it on snapchat reels on a little episodic snippet called "Courtcam". It looked so different in real life.
It was empty mostly except for the Jury who sat opposite him in a wooden box. Oswald stared at the strangers opposite him, a mixture of middle aged men and women of different ages. They were going to be the various ones deciding on Eivor's fate today.
He looked at the other side of the box, where Eivor's family were supposed to sit. And he saw no one. He wasn't surprised, Eivor didn't have much family except for an estranged brother in Norway, who wasn't her real brother, since she was adopted at a young age.
And with the current situation, Oswald wouldn't be surprised if Sigurd decided to cut ties with his adopted sister since everyone in the world hated Eivor right now, Which he couldn't understand why.
Soon enough, he spotted Eivor. She came in Cuffed. Followed by a man who looked muslim behind her. He was dressed in a suit.
Must be her Lawyer. Here to save the day. I hope he's a good one and can convince the judge to drop the charges.
Finally, the Judge appeared. A fat, middle aged man wearing what looked to be those old fashioned wig came in.
Oswald watched as Eivor sat down along with the lawyer next to her, facing the Judge.
"Eivor!" he called trying to get her attention.
Eivor looked up at him for a second, before turning guiltily away from him not meeting his gaze.
Why is she not looking at me? He thought hurt. Does she feel guilty for what she's done? She doesn't need to. I so want to hug her and wrap my arms around her, to tell her that everything is ok. It's not her fault. It's the World's. Fuck the World, Splitting us up like that.
"All rise!" The judge spoke up gathering everyone's attention
Everyone stood up except for Oswald who was confused, by the time he realised everyone had already sat back down.
"Today we are here on the case of Eivor Varinsdottir Vs the People of Ravensthorpe Academy. The charges being Child Grooming, Sexual activity between a person of trust and a minor, Sexual Activity between a adult and a minor under the age of 18, An illegal relationship between a teacher and a child"
"Miss Varinsdottir" The Judge pointed to Eivor "Miss Varinsdottir over the course of six months between September 2022 to March 2023, abused one of her students illegally- enticing him in a relationship behind closed doors, where she had sex with him once the doors were closed"
"Your Honour may I say something?" Hytham interrupted
"Yes, Hytham you may" The Judge beckoned for Hytham to continue
"Your Honour, I would like to argue against this accusation. The student that you mentioned, said in his victim statement during questioning that he didn't feel like my client abused him. He said it was mutual between both of them. I have the paper right here"
Eivor smirked at Hytham's intervention. He was a good lawyer after all with his negotiating skills and wit, she was glad to have hired him with the money she had left.
Oswald felt a sense of hope brimming in his heart. Perhaps if Hytham can prove that it was consensual maybe the charges would drop?
He had a naive hope in his heart. As his heart beated in anticipation looking at Hytham and the judge.
"Hmmm" The Judge hummed looking at the paper.
"Not good enough" Oswald's heart sunk at his sudden words. "Unless the Victim is here to confirm this, this means nothing. I can't take that as evidence, I need to hear from the victim himself"
Hytham hesitated. "Um, one moment please. I would like to discuss with my client as what to do next, just give me a second"
Hytham went over to Eivor, ready to consult with her what the next move was. But he didn't need to.
"You don't need to," Oswald spoke. "I will speak in his stead"
Eivor's eyes widened as she looked up to Oswald who was standing at the dock behind. Oswald gave her a reassuring smile, before she once again turned away from him in shame.
"I'm Sorry, Who are you?" The Judge questioned, eyes narrowed at Oswald
"I'm the Victim. I'm the Child and the Student she abused. I would like to speak, in defence of Eivor."
Everyone in the jury gasped, except for Eivor, Hytham and the Judge.
"Go on then. You may speak." he beckoned for Oswald to talk.
"You said Eivor, or Miss Varinsdottir if we aren't using first names, abused me over the course of six months. That is not true. She never enticed me to any sex at all. It was all agreed. She never coerced or forced me to do anything. Yes I am slightly underage, but I am 16, and any activity we had was legal. It was also consented as well. It was mutual. We were just a couple in love. Think about it. If it was outside of the school grounds, nobody would be saying anything"
"Oswald is right. 16 is the age of consent in the UK, so my client didn't do anything wrong and plus he said it was Consensual. So Where is the problem Your honour?"
Oswald smiled at Hytham's tone. They had more leverage now. If they kept it up, maybe Eivor would even walk free or at the very least have the lowest sentence.
"The problem is she is a teacher, and he is a student. By law she is also over 18 and he is a minor under 18. Oswald you are 16 am I correct?" The Judge asked Oswald
"Yes" Oswald confirmed
"I don't understand. Where are you going with this?" Hytham asked, trying to challenge the judge.
"It may have been consensual, so that drops the possibility of a rape charge. But I still believe she Coerced him in other manners. Miss Varinsdottir as a adult, knew what she was doing, she abused him deliberately and maliciously"
Oswald had to refrain from standing up, from shouting in anger. Coerced me? What is this bullshit? He knew he had to hold his tongue or else the bailiffs would kick him out like he saw on snapchat.
"And do you have any evidence to show the Jury and prove what you are saying?" Hytham spoke, interrupting Oswald's thoughts.
"I do, right here" The Judge flicked on the monitor in the courtroom for everyone to see.
"In this video, this was earlier on in class. One of the students sitting behind the victim, caught Miss Varinsdottir placing her hands on the victim's thighs. For the whole two minutes you can see her rubbing her hands on his legs."
Oswald cringed as he saw the video for the first time. He had heard about it from Villi, but never seen it up close for real.
Fuck. It was that obvious? We really are done for. He felt teror and horror as he looked back at the jury, who were scrutinizing the video in front of them.
The Judge turned the video off. "This was the beginning of a series of incidents on Friday 13th March 2023. Miss Varinsdottir proceeded to place the victim in a detention, secluding him from the rest of the students for an hour after school. During the detention, she was caught cuddling and kissing him. I have the photos to show this"
The Judge flicked on the monitor once again. "These are the photos taken by the student who saw them. This was 10 minutes after the main class finished, and you can see that there are no other students in the room. It is just those two. Proving Miss Varinsdottir knew what she was doing, and proceeded to entice him sexually after"
"What does this prove? You can only prove that they cuddled and snogged a bit. That's only six months or a fine. You can't prove they had sex." Hytham pointed out
"You are right there, Hytham. The evidence shows them cuddling and kissing and Miss Varinsdottir touching his thigh once. But the victim also said in his statement, that he and Miss Varinsdottir had sex several times and that she flirted with him"
Oswald gasped. The victim statement. Soma said it would help Eivor. I've just made things worse didn't I. I shouldn't have trusted her. How naive of me. He sat back down on the chair. Lost and defeated.
"Come on. You can't use that as Evidence. I take it back. We never had sex ok!" Oswald protested weakly as Eivor looked at the floor, guilty once more.
"Too late. Once it's on paper, evidence is evidence. If you take it back now you could be charged for perjury of the court. I know you don't want Miss Varinsdottir to go to prison Oswald, but the law is the law. I suggest you keep quiet now young man before you land yourself in further trouble" The Judge advised
"You can't prove the sex through a statement. I get the photographs and all, but through a statement? Your being unreasonable here Judge" Hytham said
"Let the Jury decide." He replied quietly back to Hytham
"Ladies and Gentleman. Time to make your decision. Should Miss Varinsdottir be charged here for her crimes? Or Should she walk free? Make your decision and place it in the ballot box here"
Oswald looked up to the sky, hands clasped. He never was a religious one, but for Eivor he would pray. For her, he would do anything.
"Thank you. Thank you for coming everyone. You may now go. Your work is done here" The judge thanked the Jury as the various strangers left the room
Oswald watched the last man leaving, feeling nervous. As the wooden door of the courthouse slammed, he looked back at reality.
Crossing his sweating fingers behind his back, he looked up as the Judge continued the various votes as everyone stared at him, including Eivor.
Please Please Please, let Eivor walk free. Let her get a fine or 6 months, or nothing at all.
The Judge put down the last slip of paper, as he read out the verdict.
"The Jury have voted 8 counts to 1, that you should be charged, and that you are guilty. As the majority of the Jury have decided to vote against you. I have no choice but to pronounce you, Eivor Varinsdottir, guilty of One count of Sexual activity with a Child under the age of 18, One count of Causing a child to engage in sexual activity and one count of Child Grooming. You are hereby sentenced to 14 years in prison. Case Dismissed"
"NOOOOOO!" Oswald screamed as the Police officers headed towards Eivor, escorting her away
"You can't do that. You can't. Say Something, Eivor Say something!" he cried
Eivor looked back at him once more before staring at the ground, unable to meet his eye as she was escorted away.
"Eivor" he cried brokenly. "Eivor I love you ok? I'll wait for you, even if I have to for the rest of my life, I'm not ever going to let you go. EIVOR!"
Eivor walked away, not turning around. It took her every willpower not to break and to turn around to look at his face.
No. I can't turn around and face him. I can't. There is too much at stake. I hope he moves on and forgets about me. It's for his own good. I was selfish. He's still young and has a whole life ahead of him. I won't ruin that. I'm not selfish.
"Eivor!" He tried to run after her, only to be grabbed and stopped by two bailiffs.
"Calm down, young man!" they gritted as they gripped him tight
Oswald squirmed under their grip. "I didn't even get to say Goodbye to her. Eivor" he reached out with his hand, sobbing brokenly while in the distance she continued to get escorted out, to the prison van.
6 months later.
Oswald looked around him, having just took an one and a half hour bus.
Tamworth Women's Institution I'm in the right place. He stepped towards the barbed wire, as the gate opened up and he walked through.
He walked to the Prison's desk where a guard was sitting on the desk. A woman with a shaved haircut was sitting down on the desk, with her feet up, She saw Oswald approach the desk.
"How can I help you Sunshine?" she beamed
Oswald looked at the name tag, he didn't expect Prison guards to be so friendly, after watching prison documentaries on TV, this was the last thing he expected.
He had been watching "World's toughest prisons" to prepare himself for this mentally so he could learn about the prison environment and see what it was like before making this plan.
Birna The name tag read.
"Um Yeah. I'm looking for Eivor Varinsdottir. I'm her family. I came here to visit. I'm her brother, Sigurd" Oswald lied
Oswald had worked out to use this lie after all; it had been months since the incident, and this place was 20 miles away from Ravensthorpe, and it had been long enough the spotlight had faded from him so people would forget who he was.
The age difference was big enough that he could pass for a younger sibling. In reality, Sigurd had been 9 years older than Eivor, being a teenager by the time she was adopted or like he told her. After all, he could use that to his advantage. Not that they would know.
"Ah you came just on time" Birna smiled looking at her watch. "Visiting time is just about now. She'll be pleased to see you, she hasn't had any visitors the past 6 months she's been incarcerated here. Poor soul"
"Has she not?" Oswald asked back, trying to make small talk. "Well I hope I can cheer her up then!" he grinned
He smiled at the thought of seeing her again after so long. It had been half a year since he had seen her last and he had missed her everyday since.
As soon as he found out which prison she was holed up in, Oswald had set foot on the bus trying to find her. He lied to his Mum saying he was going to Villi's house for games night.
"Here we are," Birna said, taking Oswald to the main visitor area where tables and chairs were lined up, all filled with Prisoners and their families and friends talking to each other.
In the middle, with her head down was Eivor. She sat and fidgeted on the table. Looking much worse for wear.
Oswald's heart beat and soured at the sight. Eivor looked thin and pale, and had lost a lot of weight and was bordering on sick with how frail she looked.
"Eivor" Birna greeted, prompting Eivor to look up at Birna then Oswald who was hovering behind her.
What is he doing here? Is he nuts? I guess he didn't give up on me after all. I was hoping he would forget about me, move on find another girl. But he just won't let go.
"You have a Visitor. Your brother, Sigurd. He came down from Norway to see you!" Birna chimed with that bright smile of hers
"Thank you Birna. You may go now" Eivor grunted dismissing her.
Birna walked away, leaving only Oswald left with Eivor.
"Oswald. What are you doing here?" Eivor hissed
Oswald sat down. "To see you. I've missed you darling. I missed you so much. How have you been?"
Eivor glanced down on the table in front of her, looking away.
"Not well" she replied averting his gaze
Oswald reached in, stroking her cheek with his hand. "Baby. Look at me. What's Wrong? You can tell me"
Eivor was about to push his hand away from her cheek before he removed it so she didn't need to.
"The prisoners. They beat me. The moment they found out what I did to you, They hurt me. One woman even stabbed me saying I should die. Child Predators aren't welcome here. I was taken to solitary confinement for my own safety"
Oswald gasped staring at the bruises on her cheek as Eivor briefly lifted up her prison tracksuit so he could see the scar of the cut where the angry inmate had stabbed her before putting it down again.
"I'm sorry Eivor, I totally am" Oswald said, lost for words. "It's my fault that you're here. If I didn't say those things you wouldn't be here"
"No" Eivor shook her head, surprising him with her tone. "Don't you dare blame yourself, Oswald. I deserve it. Every bit of it. I broke your trust, made you do things that you didn't want to do. I ruined your life"
"Don't say that. You didn't break my trust. Don't listen to what they said. Forever and always right? That's always what you said to me" he reached up to her stroking her cheek once more
Eivor pushed his hand away, startling him. She didn't want to do this, but she had to. The second she saw him she had this plan. She always planned mentally in case he did come back for her like he said he would, what she would do. Now it was time to put it in action.
"I lied." Eivor murmured
"Sorry I couldn't quite here that. Could you say it again?" he frowned unsure looking at her.
"I lied" Eivor said this time with more ferocity. "I lied. I never loved you. I just wanted a shag from you and you were an easy target. I never loved you"
"What?" Oswald gasped, taken aback. "You don't mean that, do you. Eivor, look at me- tell me you don't mean what you just said"
"I do. I used you. You were little more than a Sex tool for me. Nothing more, nothing less." She gritted facing him
"No. You don't mean that. Why are you doing this? Why wait until now to hurt me?" Oswald croaked as he could hardly form the words, tears taking over his eyes
"Because I love you!" Eivor shouted as everyone else turned around to look at them, silence filling the room. Before she said more quietly "Because I love you Oswald. And I want the best for you, you have a whole life ahead of you, even if it hurts me. We can't be together anymore"
"What did I say in that courtroom? I said I would wait years for you even if I had to. I don't want anyone else Eivor. I just want you. When you come out, We're both adults anyway. 14 years is a long time" Oswald spoke crying
"14 years is a long time. You can move on Oswald, get a job, find another woman, get married and have kids. Why wait for an old hag like me? I heard Valdis helped with reporting me. She's pretty, young and your age. Forget about me, Oswald. Please"
"I don't want Valdis, I want you." He trailed off "I love no one else except for you"
"Well. I don't want you. I never did. You were an annoying little shit that I had to get rid of. I hate you" Eivor spat with Venom
"Eivor stop saying that. Please. I know you don't mean it. We can make this work me and you" Oswald pleaded
"No we can't, and if I ever see you one more time in here, I'm telling the guards who you really are. I haven't foiled you yet as I'm giving you a chance but if you ever show your ass in here again. I'll expose you" Eivor threatened
"Fine if that's how you want it to be, Eivor. I love you and yet you throw it back in my face like this. Goodbye" Oswald seethed back at her
"Well I don't fucking care whether you love me or not. I want you out of my fucking sight!" Eivor screamed as everyone stared at them watching them quarrel
"You know what, Gladly. Fuck you Eivor, Fuck you!" Oswald cursed as he stormed out of the prison's visiting room as he felt everyone's eyes burning on him.
"What?" Eivor snapped as everyone stared at her. "The fuck are you looking at?" she squared up to them , in an intimidating tone before going back to her cell.
(If it was one thing prison had taught her, was to be hard, in order to survive).
Once she was inside the cell away from prying eyes, Eivor slammed the door shut behind her, sinking to the cell's floor, letting out a broken sob and scream.
Oswald meanwhile was outside the prison's gates. Once he was out of sight of everyone and the CCTV, he proceeded to angrily punch the bus shelter's wall, denting it with his knuckles.
"FUCKKKK!" he screamed, before he slumped down sobbing, clutching his bruised hand in pain.
I'm never going to see her again. She doesn't want me there and even threatened to expose me. It's over between us two. The worId's won, I've lost her. Forever.
He continued to sob, until the bus came half an hour later to pick him up home, back to a normal life.
Author's Note: And after hours of research and typing, I am done. No more student/teacher or Eivor and Oswald now that she's been nicked. Yes, Nicked. English slang for being arrested. I used a bit of English slang in this and made Villi and Oswald use it as modern day English men they would use it (Living in England and all). I also added more Valhalla along with OC characters - Sergeant, Bus Driver, (unnamed people, Judge, Jury) They are OC as well.
This was written using the laws in my country, Eivor would be charged and arrested with that. The stuff Oswald reads in google actually came from my research. I did make up some of the Court scenes a little bit, but tried my best to stick to how it would run (apologise for the inaccuracy) . My knowledge is limited to TV shows and all of that.
Yes so there's a lot less smut in this, (besides the odd mention of it) and Eivor also gets punished for her Pedophelic behaviour which makes it all the more realistic. Those TV shows Oswald watches, I as the author have watched them as well so thought I would add that in as well as part of the modern day feature. So to all those people who didn't like the underage, well you should be happy now - Eivor got a hefty sentence of 14 years! So she won't be anywhere near kids now for a long time after that and they broke up as well. So no more Underage.
If this was a movie, the Song that would be playing right now would be "Greedy" by Tate Mcrae as part of the credits. I was listening to it while writing this and realised how much the lyrics relate to the story, especially if you listen to the Chorus part. It's a really good song and the unofficial theme song of this fic. I recommend you listen to it after reading- it will hit harder. Of course, all credit goes to her!
Anyway hope you enjoyed this fic even if it was a little fucked up. See you next time.
