"Surround them! Give them no escape and then we'll kill every last one of the bastards!" Hæsten shouts as his men cheer. "Give up Uhtred and the rest of you will live. All I want is the Dane-slayer!" Sigyn panicked as his men circled Uhtred and his men, Skade reached out to grab her wrist with a warning look.

"You will die, sister. The monk is not worth dying for." Skade muttered to her as Hæsten continued to shout.

"You don't know what it is to care for someone. I do not wish for him to die." Sigyn snapped and ripped her sister's hand off her, she hissed in pain when Skade's nails cut her.

"What you will get Hæsten, is my sword up your hairy arse!" Finan shouts making Hæsten chuckle.

"As you wish. You will die on your knees. I want the head of Uhtred Ragnarsson!" Hæsten shouts as they close in.

"Turn the fields red with Saxon blood and flesh!" Skade shouts bloodthirsty and even Hæsten looks terrified. Sigyn fought the urge to kick her sister off the horse, but she feared it would do her no good.

"Stand! Every man is to stand! Dagfinn! Everyman is to stand!" Hæsten shouts with worry as an army emerges from the trees. Sigyn smiled at the sight, her monk would not die today.

"It's Alfred, he lives." Skade says as she grows tense.

"Stand! Everyman is to stand! Stand!" Skade inhaled sharply when she and Uhtred locked eyes, Skade looked at Hæsten before attempting to escape, but it did her no good as Hæsten knocked her out. Sigyn sighed in disappointment, she followed the man seeing as she liked being conscious.

Once they get to camp she smiles when Hæsten pulls Skade off her horse and into the mud. Hæsten holds his hand out for her to gently help her off, she smiles mockingly at Skade.

"Lord Hæsten, my friend," Cnut looked over at her in curiosity. "Lady Sigyn, as beautiful as ever." She recoiled in disgust.

"Cnut," Hæsten walks to the table for some ale. "Point your cock somewhere else, Bloodhair. The woman is mine, make no mistake. And as for the sister, she belongs to Uhtred's monk." Hæsten threatened Bloodhair and Sigyn blushed at the comment. She would very much like to belong to Osferth.

"What has happened?" Cnut asked.

"I have lost everything, bar what you see."

"You've lost more than half your men." Bloodhair stated.

"And my man, Dagfinn."

"How?"

"His pride. Uhtred threatened it and he had fallen for the trap." Sigyn said and watched as Cnut walked to her, she tensed when his hand caressed her face. Skade hissed at the man in anger and Cnut pulled away, she for once was grateful for her sister's possessiveness.
