INTRO

"Wait! Put your axe down you idiot. These one are good. We shouldn't waste good meat. We can sell them to Kattegat as slaves. They're young and pretty and there are so many things they can be used for" : Ivar grinned at a giant Viking warrior that bowed to his order in fear.

"Tie them up with some ropes and take them to the ships with the rest of the loot".

There wasn't much loot this time.

They went to England just to avenge King Ragnar's death, and so they did.

They didn't remain a lot, just some time to restore the warriors and to fix the ships and they were off again.

Bjorn modestly helped him on the boat, and he immediately crawled in a corner far form the rest.

He was superior to them, if he wanted to stay alone no one should have cared, not that they would be brave enough to complain anyway.

He closed his eyes intending to rest a bit.

They sailed.

"Let me go, you stupid asshole. You're just a savage, a pagan, let me go".

Ivar opened one eye clearly bothered form the high pitch scream that came from one of the slaves.

He saw the giant Viking trying to touch one of the youngest girl and this one fighting back as best as she could.

She somehow managed to bite the man until he bled.

He crawled to them annoyed.

The giant pulled back with great discomfort in his eyes.

Ivar stood on his elbows and then leaned of the edge of the boat to take balance.

He stared intensely at her and then backhanded her hard across her cheek making her scream in pain and surprise.

"You think we don't understand you mmh?
You think you can fight us? You think you could win uhn?"

He pressed his arm on her back until she sticked out of the boat with half her body almost losing her balance.

"You know, a little bit of more pressure and you fall into the water. And we're close to where we live. You see, here the ocean is cold as ice. You wouldn't resist a day. Do you know how much painful is to freeze to death uhn? Do you wanna try?"

She just startled in silence.

"ANSWER ME!": he yelled as he pushed her down some more. "Do you wanna try?".

The girl shook her head no trembling in fear.

Better being captive and alive then free and dead, she thought.

Ivar let her go with an indelicate tug and she immediately fell to her knees.

"Don't try a stupid move again, slave. Next time I might not be so merciful.'

And with a disgusted look he returned in his corner closing his eyes again confident that he had scared her enough to keep her on her place.

She hugged her knees and remain silent and motionless the entire journey.

The Vikings fed them with some bread and fish and gave them a little amount of water once a day.

No other problems occurred until they reached Kattegat.
