As always, i am a Saxon princess. Not a princess fully, i am a Bastard Princess. My mother is Lady Aethelfaed, whome i love truly. But i am not her,

My father was Erik whome i am most like. He was a full dane, I am force to be a Saxon, because of Aethelfaed Husband and her, herself. I should do whatever i want sense i am not able to go on the throne. To me it does not make sense, Though during a huge battle we had nearly a few days ago. We might lose the King of Merica..

As Aethelfaed came to me, She wanted me to say my last talks to Aetherlred,Which i tend to try and stay away from. But for Aethelfaed sake, i'll go talk to him. I started going into a small room, And i see Aetherlred, His head was almost cut off. If not it is then, I sat close to him. "Husband.." Aethelfaed said nervously to Aetherlred, As i feel my mom never liked her Husband. She just wanted kids for heir's, "You must know that, They think you are Aethelhid father" Aetherlred coughs in pain towards my mother. "

Then so be it, she is fair to be Merica" Aethelfaed shakes her head. " She is a bastard child you know that, I have another child" Aethelfaed says softly. "They could kill my child, for the throne. They'll do anything" As i was hearing the whole conversation, i just didn't even seem to care.

"What is it you want?" Aethelfaed sighs softly. "I want you to claim her as your child-" She got cut off. "I am a Daughter of Erik! I do not want to be claimed by Aetherlred!" I said madly. I do not want this, i do not want to be on the throne. I do not want some husband to whore me around, My mother was a whore to this man. And i do not want to be just like my mother. "Aethelhid, calm down..", Aethelfaed had say calmly to me. "You want to be Queen right?" I heard him said to me, I shaked my head;No. I just want to be normal, i do not care if i am a bastard Child.

"I do not care! If i die, Are other child, can not be Queen yet because she is young. so you are next! So i am calming you-" I shook my head and stand up. "I'm done here, can i leave Mom?" I asked, While i faced her. "Yes you can my child..." Aethelfaed said softly. As i started to move out of the room i saw more people coming in and saying goodbye, Sense danes were here. Known as Uhtred, Son of Uhtred. And his childern, i usually play with them sense my sister is young. I started walking towards everybody that was waitting in the throne room.

Uhtred had looked towards me, he could tell i was easily upset.

"What have happend?" I heard Uhtred asked me, I sightly looked up towards Uhtred,"Nothing, J-Just the same as usual stuff.." Uhtred sighs, "Go and play with the other kids, Aethelhid." Uhtred said to me soflty, as i noded i got up and hugged Uhtred. He hugged me back;Nervously. "Thank you" I quickly ran out of the throne room, Where we were. I started walking in the halls, as i heard names people were calling me. "Whore" I kept hearing that word. For some reason i do not know why?, I guess they know i'm a bastard Child.

I started walking outside where i have saw, Young Uhtred standing. I walked towards him, As he smiled towards me."Hi, Aethelhid" I was a bit okder then Uhtred kids, But i was just like them in a way. I was just 2 years older. I may look old, but that is how we are in my family. We look older then we look, I smiled towards Young Uhtred. "Hi, I have came outside because it's so pack inside" I sightly giggle towards him, "I was just in the church, praying for Alfred death" I noded. "It was a sad day i heard for people.." I looked down, "I'm sorry for whatever is happen to you.." I heard Young Uhtred said to me.

All i did, was smile. "It is not your fault.." I have said with a sightly smile. I saw Uhtred running towards me, "Lady, I mean you no harm. But you need to come with us, Men want you." I was confused? "This is my home, Uhtred." I sigh, "I can't leave-" A men of Uhtred pick's me up,"Put me down!" I was grabbing his arm, "She is kicking me!" I heard an irish men spoke, I laughed. He then put me down,"Do not run away" He had told me, I want to.

"Where are you taking me?" I said madly, "With us. You are not safe in Merica, they want you killed" I sigh and crossed my arms,"Who are eveyone?" I asked looking around. "My kids and my men, Finan, Sihtric, and Osferth, and Uhtred and, Stiorra" I have Noded my head slowly."My mother-" Uhtred comes close to me,"She told me to take you, Lady." I sigh, in defeat. As for now we kept on walking, Uhtred had gotten an message from some random person walking, saying their's a army seaking for me. I started shaking, "We need to go somewhere else Lord!" I heard that guy Finan spoke up.

"We go to a building for now, you guys take her! I have to go somewhere" Finan had pulled me into his arms, tightly so i won't runaway. "Ugh!" I had said loudly for him to hear. "We are all Tired" Sihtric had said, "Even me!" I heard a voice spoke up,"Yes Osferth we know" Young uhtred had said, "I need Sleep!" I have said, once more. Nobody had said anything towards me, As we kept on walking we found a place to stay.

"For now we haveto stay in here" Finan had told me,"And keep you safe"I noded, I didn't want to say anything. Not anymore.

As we all just kinda sat around, I was playing with my birds i have kepted with me sense it was always there with me. I was outside playing, i feel like a child. I am no child, But i wish soemtimes to be. As i saw Storria looking at me by a window, I smile and waved. I wonder what she could be talking about, By a few minutes went by i heard Storria spoke to me,"Aethelhid, Come inside now!" I put my birds down quickly, and saw an group of men coming. I was running inside, As the door closes. Finan was shaking,"What do we do?" Sittora had a plan perhaps, it'll work.

A group of people started to come in,"What do you want?" Sihtric had asked the men, "We need aethelhid, to return back" Sittora was sitting on a box they had me in. "She already left with somebody". Another man spoke i heard,"Who?" Sittora spoke once again,"He called himself then lord Uhtred" I could tell she was nervous to say some things. I heard the men footsteps moving, The men spoke again. "We leave" I heard footsteps moving, Sittora got out of the box; and opened it so i could get out. "You did it" Sihtric had said whilst everyone was laughing,"I did" I started to smile. We all saw Uhtred running towards us, We all got outisde."What is it?" We all asked, "We need to leave now, Take Aethelhid"

I was then put in on a carriage. I sigh and we were all sitting down, I was next to Young Uhtred. He had given me a book to reed on the way," It's the saxon chronicle's" He had said to me. I smile,"Thank you" I started flipping throw the pages. As i was trying not to cry, because i do miss my home. I heard voices saying'Stop it' So i slowly cryed to myself and forcing me to sleep.

As me and the other teens started to eat some food we have found, I heard the irish men said something. "I have already asked, they all said no. This food is stale" I started laur quietly. but i started eating again, i was so hungry. I heard Uhtred said something, "Finan leave the food for the childern, For god sake" I looked up towards them, Uhtred men was riding horses while we were sitting.

"Sorry Aethelhid, My men are like dogs." I also started laughing at that, And noded my head slowly.

"That is very true!" I heard a men spoke, "Osferth" Sihtric had said, laughing. We all ran into people, "Stay back! This road is closed" I havr turned my head to face the people, I saw Uhtred running towards us as he was touching us. "Do not touch me!" I said smacking them, I keep hearing, stop and don't move. We all got out the carriage real fast and steped on the floor, "Father what can do do?" I heard yoong Uhtred said, " We can't defeat, Edward men.. We need to leave. " Let's find another place" As Uhtred said we all got up.

as we all started walking, We were all getting already tired from hours of walking. As i was walking, We were all soo tired. "I need rest Lord" We all heard Finan said. "Well'll take a break then" We all sat immediately down once we heard Uhtred said that. I started laying in the grass,"You have already come a long way hmm" I heard Osferth said to me. I smile,"I guess so" I sightly frowned.

It's been a few days now, and so Uhtred had us standing up. "We move!" We all heard Uhtred said, We then started getting up. It has been days and we are still walking, I just want to see my mom. I have been walking and my legs hurt. So we all took a break, Finan was laying down, Osferth was reading and so was i. Sittora and Uhtred was by a lake.Uhtred had told us all to quickly get up,"Let's find a town now"

As we all started to walk, We have been on nothing but grass to keep in my mind. We have finally found a path, Sittora had spoken. "Wow, A path Finally" She had said it with attitude. "We need to find a town now, and get more horses" As we started walking. "Keep moving, let's go" Uhtred said to us. I had got up to Uhtred in the front, "This is all-" We heard an army walking. "Protect Aethelhid! somebody!" Sihtric had walked in front of me. We all started running,"Quickly" I heard Finan said to me.The army had came all around us, we just stood there. "We need Aethelhid." The man had said, I stood in the back but spoke. "I do not need you!" I powerd throw and said it. "I do not" The man laughs,"Well'll kill everyone here." and he spoke again. "i'll kill Aethelfaed to" I was about to tear up, but i didn't. i'm stronger then that. Me, Osferth, and Sittora were all in a little group. "We got this" I heard Osferth said i noded.I moved away from Sihtric sense he leted me.

"You'll leave" I heard Uhtred said. "She needs to be married" Uhtred went in front. "He is lying, you all are believing a liar!" Uhtred said once more. "My men won't believe you Uhtred son of uhtred" he said rolling his eyes.

The men all looked at the other men, "He's right" We heard one said. They all left him, And so he did as well. As i started walking, I was left behide a few minutes because i wanted to go and see something.
