River holding his hunt knife and his friend Alo next to him with his bow and arrows walking through the woods slowly scanning their eyes carefully waiting, watching, and listening for anything. They both have done this before as children as this was taught by everyone in the tribe to survive for they have to now teach Uchoa who was told to hide and fight like she trained by Zephyr. Nothing seemed off even looking up in the trees as Uchoa enjoyed climbing as high as she can without any troubles passing by a very large fallen tree covered in nature by the dirt piled up with leaves and plants growing around it aside the moss. Opening her eyes making her disguise which is her entire body and clothes covered in mud, dry leaves and moss from the tree behind her revealed watching the two walk away enough to walk out to slowly crawling all fours not making a sound going to the tree across from her and hid. Alo was the first to turn around ready to shoot then turned back catching up to River covering his back hearing a long yet whistle that was close to a bird. He turned fast to fire his shot where Uchoa is who quickly lifted her foot up to pick a thick branch up to her hands using it to block it from hitting her in the left eye as it pierce right through it. Uchoa used her own knife to slice off the thin sticks before charging at the men while dodging the swinging from River attempting to throw a punch at her but instead got knock flat on his back with Uchoa swiping his legs under him by the branch. She twirled it around to slam it to the group to giver her a quick boost up to kick Alo's bow away form his hand with her left foot and did a quick spin to send the other to hit his upper jaw then ran off. "She's getting better than last time." said Alo rubbing his jaw. They went to go find her again while Zephyr and Arrow stayed in the camp to look after the baby hawk in case the mother was searching for him. It has been three hours as Uchoa started hiding again this time behind some rocks not far from the water staying still after hearing someone coming. "Alright im taking a piss. Stay where you are Ivar." said the teen setting the boy down on the rocks next Uchoa. "Like the cripple is going any where." said another voice scoffing. "Fuck off." said Ivar rolling his eyes when he saw Uchoa's face through the dried mud. He thought he was imagining it until she opened her eyes to look back him waiting for him to do something.
"Ivar?" said one of the teens looking at him. "What Hvitserk?" said Ivar looking away to look at his brother. "Whats going on with you?" said Hvitserk. "Just thinking is all?" said Ivar then heard their brother shouting. "We got savages." said the teen. "What are we waiting for lets kill them, Ubbe?" said Hvitserk looking out his sword. Hearing this Uchoa opened her eyes snapping her head at Hvitserk looking at him in anger then Ivar looked her way but was suddenly in a choke hold by her stick with a knife pointed at his throat. "Whoa. Where she come from?" said Ubbe approaching her but Uchoa dragged Ivar with her. "Put down your weapons and leave us alone." said Uchoa. "WHat are you idiots waiting for?!" said Ivar holding himself by grabbing a hold Uchoas arm and her wrist that was holding the knife. Hvitserk and Ubbe looked at each other then at Ivar before dropping her knife and sword having Uchoa put Ivar on the ground before running away to find River and Alo while looking back to make sure she wasnt followed. Uchoa climbed up in the trees to get better covering jump across the trees landing on the other branches to follow Alo and River's voices back to the shelter. She soon enough jump down having the three man look at her direction looking relieved to see her safe. "What happened" said Zephyr looking at the three. "We were looking for Uchoa after her little sneak attack until one of those young vikings spotted us not and went to get the others but stopped." said Alo. "That's because i threatened to kill the son with twisted legs if they killed them. The boy was the first to discover my hiding spot and didnt give me away." said Uchoa. "Uchoa? Have you lost it? They wouldve killed you!" said River. "Enough. We must leave now. Go wash." said Zephyr. Uchoa walked into the river and took a dive in the deeper part to clen herself while the men started gathering their thigs quickly. She soon enough got out wring out water off her shirt and pants and picked up the baby hawk and her bag after they got everything and started walking back to where they from.
Its been four days of their long walk towards the mountains with Uchoa beside her father looking ahead with Alo, Arrow, and River watching out for the vikings until they stopped to hear the sound of horses having them stop to surround Uchoa readying their weapons. "Well looks like we caught up with you Skraelings." said Hvitserk look down at them while steadying his horse. "this is the girl that tried to kill Ivar?" said the men with Ivar on the wagon that he was pulling. "Yes. Sneaky little bitch isnt she?" saidHvitserk. "We dont want trouble." said Zephyr. "Too late for thta." said Ubbe. "If you dont want blood to be shed. We take her off your hands." said the man looking at him. "NO!" said Arrow pointing his spear to have his chest slashed by Ubbe when he tried to lounge at them. "Papa? I have to go. Its my fault. I dont want to lose you like Mama." said Uchoa as Zephyr hold River back with Alos help. "Remember your place and dont let them or anyone break you." said Zephyr knowing he has no other choice. "Trust me i wont. And i will find a way back home." said Uchoa walking to the wagon. "Let leave them. Got a very very long way back. We got Ivar his own slave." said the man turning the wagon around with Ubbe and Hvitserk following him. Uchoa looked at the baby hawk on her lap petting him to help her relax not looking at the men who now own her. She felt Ivar looking at her every so often not saying anything until they got the ship getting off to get in with Ivar using her to support him as he tried to walk on board while holding the baby hawk in one arm. They sat down while the man and Ivars brother loaded the ship to go on their way to a land that Uchoa wont know much about but has to adjust to her new life even if it is going to be Hell for her. "Lil Bitch. Listen very carefully. You are owned by our brother. Meaning you do what he says and if you so much has hurt him. We hurt you, kill you, or sell like a whore to be someone elses problem. Understand?" said Hvitserk sitting next to Ivar to face her. "Yes. I know very well about slavery from my tribe. But i have conditions." said Uchoa making him scoff. "Like what be nice to you?" said Ubbe beside them. Uchoa looked at him while keeping the hawk on her lap as they started sailing across the sea with the man known as Ragnar was steering the sails towards their home.
