Childs of North - Modern Ragnarök
prefer to stay home tomorrow?" I stood slowly up and back down again. "Oh nonsense. Maybe I just drank too little today or something." "Well my dear, then you will drink a lot tomorrow." When I got to the kitchen the package of the sausage was completely torn and the sausage was gone. I raised my eyebrows and looked at the two black beings as they were cleaning themselves.
“You sound like Nanda.” He gave a short laugh. “I'll take that as a compliment, thank you very much.” I sat back at the table and smiled. “You don't know her at all.” “I don't, but you. And she seems to mean a lot to you. So I mean something to you too.” He emphasized the last sentence extremely, which made me laugh. "As far as I know you, I like you. I can't say more than that." "But that's a good start, isn't it?" I smiled again. "A very good start. Tell me ..." "Yes?" I paused. My courage suddenly disappeared again. Until a few minutes ago I wanted to ask him if he would keep me company. Now I just felt stupid.
Suddenly the two began to croak, pecking at each other over and over again. "Are those .. ravens?" "Eh ... Yes? I have a visit ... from them." "I beg your pardon?" "Yes .. They suddenly sat at my window and then I let them in and now eat they my sausage."Suddenly there was silence. When he suddenly started laughing, I pouted with a smile." Hello? Do not laugh! This is serious! "The laughing increased, it took some time until he slowly stopped, he sniffed briefly and then laughed a little again." If you need company please just say it, I would have come over too. No, you'd rather bring strangers into your house. "He had to laugh again, but now it infected me and I had to laugh myself." Yes, sorry, they were just there! "He laughed slightly, then sighed relaxed." Heaven, heaven. Suddenly she lets strangers into the house. I have to take care of you more. "
I had to smile a bit. “Maybe.” I watched the ravens briefly as they hopped off the table and flew to the door in front of which they then sat down. I got up slowly, swayed again briefly. However, after holding onto the table for a moment, I went to the door to open it. The two tipped quietly outside before they rose into the air and disappeared into the darkness. I looked briefly at the place where I could last see the two before I quietly closed the door.
There was a moment of silence between us before I spoke a little more quietly. "The two are gone .. Will you come over and keep me company?" I heard the snort I had by now known. “I'll be right over there.” I had to smile a little. "Thank you. See you soon .." "See you soon." He hung up and I slowly sat down again at the kitchen table. I pulled my legs up and wrapped my arms around them while resting my head on one of my knees.
The minutes seemed endless and I had to admit that I was getting terribly tired again. At least my body. My own thoughts were wide awake. When my cell phone vibrated, I silently took it and read the message. "And? Are you still on the phone ???" I had to smile. "Yep, he'll be over soon;): P" It didn't take a minute until I got my answer, which is why I had to grin a bit.
"Whaaaaas? You rascal!: D"
"Bullshit! He's just keeping me company so I don't sit here alone."
"Okay, I'll let that go. But woe betide me I'll hear tomorrow that he did something that you didn't want."
"Why tomorrow? I thought I should write to you afterwards?"
"Yes, no, let's go. You will need a little longer, I guess I won't be able to stay awake that long."
"Either you can't sleep at all or you wake up around 3 am. Don't tell me anything."
"That was an indirect" corporate trier you only get on your stallion! "
I stared at my phone for a moment.
"My stallion?"
"Yes, it was in the movie I watched earlier. You have to watch it too!"
"When it comes to calling your lover a stallion, I don't mind, thank you: P"
"So his lover? <3"
I rolled my eyes and put the cell phone aside when there was a knock on the door, I got up slowly and walked calmly to the door. The dizziness was gone so far, but I didn't want to risk anything. When I opened the door, I stood petrified. "Hey Aenna .." "Iwan ..? What are you doing here?" He smiled slightly. "I just wanted to see if you were better. You fell over earlier." I nodded slightly and leaned against the door which I was still holding. "I'm fine, thanks for asking." He nodded slightly, then put on a much more charming smile, lowering his eyelids slightly. His eyes sparkled a little. Again I felt nausea and everything began to spin a little again. But I stood firm. "You shouldn't hang out with someone like Kjell. He's dangerous." I tensed up. "I mean, strange that he's so overly friendly, isn't it? I guess you didn't know each other before?"
I took a deep breath, glanced past him, hoping that Kjell might appear right now. Although I had to say that Iwan wasn't wrong if you looked at it logically."Funny, Kjell said the same thing about you. Besides ..." For a moment a thought crossed my mind. "I passed out because I looked you in the eye. I still have this poisonous green in my head ..." It was like Connor's. Those green eyes that I saw before I suddenly felt so bad.
Ivan said nothing. He just looked at me. He shook his head and when he opened his mouth to answer me, I cut him off. “What about your eyes?” I had to think briefly of Kjell's words that I couldn't always read eyes correctly. The only thing his eyes told me was that I was right. When the twinkle in his eyes wore off, my body also stopped rebelling. It was really related to his eyes. Before he or I could say anything, Kjell pushed past him and stood in front of me and stood up in front of him.
Kjell suddenly seemed much wider, but I felt more comfortable again. I put my hand carefully on his back for a moment. He looked over my shoulder at me and smiled briefly. I smiled too, then he looked ahead again.
“Weren't you about to go, Ivan?” I didn't really see anything behind Kjell, but afterwards I heard the crunch when Ivan disappeared. Kjell turned to me and gave me a quick look. "You're still pretty pale, don't you want to go to bed?" I shook my head. "I'm doing pretty well so far ... would you like something to drink?" He shook his head, put his hands on my upper arms, turned me gently and quietly pushed me further inside. I walked slowly into the living room and sat on the sofa. Kjell took off her coat and shoes and sat quietly next to me.
I crossed my legs and looked at him calmly. “What did he want?” He looked at me calmly, the happiness I had just heard on the phone had disappeared. I shrugged my shoulders. “Know how I'm doing.” He nodded calmly. For a moment I thought about asking him about those poison green eyes. Maybe he knows what? However, I quickly dismissed the idea. His mood wasn't the right one for that. I took the blanket from the armchair, which was next to the sofa. I spread it out and put it over my legs, first to him and then to me. He looked at her briefly, then looked at me and smiled.
I punched him lightly in the arm. I realized that it wasn't the jacket that made his arm look so tight, but his arm itself. "Now don't be so ..." He raised an eyebrow in amusement. “So?” I nodded and leaned back. “You're grim.” He gave a short laugh. “Grim, then?” “Yes, I preferred Kjell on the phone.” He smiled and rubbed his hair calmly before resting his head on the back of the sofa with this arm.
"Tell me little, this Melinda ... how close were you?" I looked at him confused and shook my head slightly. "Actually not at all. You greet each other sometimes when you met, but otherwise I never had anything to do with her. Why do you ask?" He sighed. Connor's friend works for the police. Nanda was right earlier, the body parts were really ... torn apart. And runes were carved into the skin of every part. "" The script of the ancient Vikings? "He nodded." Right. Connor can decipher these runes. There are some that he doesn't know, but he knows most of them. That's why Connor should translate them. "" What does this have to do with me? "" The runes stood for 'Aenna' "I looked at him for a moment, then bit my lip and shook my head.
"I have nothing to do with it. I swear to you ..." He lifted his hands slightly. "I know. And Connor too. He translated it wrong for you. He told you something else." My stomach felt sick again and let me sink further into the sofa. "But why was my name there ..?" He shrugged. "Can mean a lot.The police don't assume an animal, but ... something else. Animals do not scratch runes on any part of their body. Connor says it can mean a lot that your name is there. Either you are supposed to be your next victim or it is a message for you. Or someone tries to put the blame on. "
I just sat quietly for a moment before slowly turning my gaze back to Kjell who was looking at me calmly, then he smiled encouragingly at me. "Hey ... we'll find out who it was, okay? I'll take care of you until then." "Why?" His smile slowly faded. "Why do you want to take care of me? You don't know me at all, and it can't just be because we both have the feeling that we have known each other forever. And why does Iwan tell me about him, like you, that I stay away from you that you are dangerous? "I felt that this day was slowly becoming too much for me.
It all seemed so unrealistic to me. The day was cruel and I felt bad. Damn bad. Then this murder is supposed to have something to do with me? I didn't really know Melinda and now my name is on the remains of her body. I felt sick again and felt this tingling on my face, I would soon start crying. Kjell said nothing for a long time. I was shivering and tears ran down my cheeks. Immediately I wiped them away again.
"Because I like you. And yes, also because I have this feeling. I want to be there for you and help you through the whole
