"Got it?" I asked, TJ nodded.

"Hopefully this works." He said as we walked out of my room. It was about time for dinner. We were discussing this for hours. Now finally we could...'ow' I thought as I slammed into someone coming out of the room next to Halfborn. I look up and see a guy about seven feet tall, red hair, and startling red eyes, he was pretty buff too. I looked over at TJ who looked at me like I just signed a Valhalla death warrant. I met the boys eyes and calmed down his face was calm and cold, but his eyes were filled with curiosity like he wondered what I would do next. I did have to admit I was intimated. "Sorry." I said like it was no big deal.

He gave a slight smiled like he was pleasantly surprised. "No problem."

TJ and I walked over to the elevator. TJ finally looked less scared he would be murdered and never resurrect. "I think you just signed your death warrant." He said shakily

I raised an eyebrow "Dude, we die in battle every day."

TJ shook his head "That was Cole, one of the scariest people here." He bought his voice down to a whisper  "You'll be lucky if he doesn't kill you before battle."

I had an awful feeling...yea no it was worse then awful, it was like trying to breathe through your mouth with a thick gagge in it. I let TJ off at the floor where the dining hall is I went back up to get throwing daggers I kept in a bag I would strap to my belt. Lora wouldn't come to practice battles with me anymore because Jack convinced her it was beneath them. So I was mostly alone except I did have daggers and a few years of fighting expect. Being an author you have some fights along the way.

I went back to the dining hall and went to find my friends. I was walking and someone triped me which happened often.(mostly because im a child of Frey a not very intimating nature god.) When I hit the floor I hear someone walk over. I looked up to see the same guy I bumped into in the hall. He snarled at the people at the table and alot fall out of their seats.

I didnt like to have people fight my battles. I was debating wether to say that or just thank him. As much as I bend realitys things can still get in the way. "Thank you." I said with the sweatiest expression I could.

"Yea." he said "I dont like bullies." He smiled slightly. That made me feel better. Although this guy could be a very real threat. For a split second I studied him his eyes were mixed with excitement and surprise. Im honestly not sure if most people would dare speak to this guy without a filter on. It looked like he could kill you with a pencil. Actually a few people could do that in Vahalla.

"I may or may not see you in battle." I smile "Depends on how long I last." I walk away calmly as people stare at me like I was Wonder Woman. 'Please dont look at me' I prayed. I found my friends and sat down.

"You met Cole." Halfborn said stuffing food in his mouth.

"Yea, I did and I have to say Im terrified." I sighing.

"Dont be." TJ spoke up. "I said that to scare you." I looked at him completely un amused 'wow' I thought to myself. TJ laughed.

TIME SKIP TO BATTLE

So only a few more hours until we have enough free time to act on plans. TJ got Halfborn and Mallory in on the plan and now all we have to do is reserect after battle and meet in Mallory's room.

Battle was going good until we all got ganged up on. There must have been what 10. We took care of most of them but most of us got hurt. Magnus said he would heal the group while TJ and I stood guard (I healed TJ so we could work out some details). The axe came out of nowhere along with the phrase "TAKE THAT VANIR SCUM!" most likely from some over exaggerated strong guy who really only has one line in this story. (He doesn't even get a name.) I let out a squeak you would hear from a mouse 'OK NOT MY PROUDEST MOMENT' I had to admit. I put my hands over my face and braced myself. Nothing happened I looked up to see the seven foot redhead holding the axe like he just caught it. He looked at me eyes wide looking like he was supressing a laugh. I turn to TJ who was laughing.

"We do not speak of this." I said covering mt face. That only made TJ laugh harder.

TJ pov

First she yelps in her room as she sees me there now she squeaks on the battlefield. This is the most hilarious thing ever. Does Magnus act like that when he gets surprised? I have to find that out.

"Okay," I said calming down, "we will not speak of this." I looked over at Cole who looks like he was about to lose it and start laughing too.

"Hey Cole." I said smiling.

"Hi TJ." he said. Then he slashed Amanda leg with the axe.

"What the!?" she yelled "what was that for?" her leg started to heal and she got to her feet.

"What dosent kill you makes you stronger...except spiders. Spiders will kill you." he said

There was silence for a moment "that was a little extreme." I said.

Cole fought with us in batte we did pretty well. Until our healers were dead, then things went down hill. I died a while after a group of 20 people came along. No idea what happened after that.

I reincarnated to someone banging on my door I put a shirt and jeans on and went to check . It was Amanda she pulle me out of my room "you go get Alex and I'll get Magnus." She grinned "Its show time." she rushes to her brothers door. I knock on Alex's door she opened up and I told her to go to Mallorys room. I was surprised she followed me.

Everyone was sitting on the floor. "Hi Alex." Mallory said with a smirk.

"Lets start." said Halfborn. "Alex truth or dare." Truth or dare isn't very original but it will work.

"Dare." she replied

"Ok." Halfborn born looked at Mallory who had an evil grin on. "I dare you to...." he pretended to think. "Sit in Magnus's lap." both Alex and Magnus glared at Amanda like it was her idea....which it was. Amanda just smirked. Then Alex went over and sat on Magnus's lap. A scarlet red on both of their faces. Both glaring at Amanda like she was the number one enemy.

Amanda just smiled until Alex said "Amanda truth or dare?" Amanda though for a second as if she was scanning over the possibilitys.

"Umm....truth?" she said unsure of herself.

"Ok!" Alex said getting too excited. I could see Amanda mentally curse herself. "Who was your first kiss?" she asked Amanda with a smirk.

Amanda smiled as if she had won "Haven't had one."

"Aw man." Alex seemed disappointed "I wanted to see you squirm."

"Oh well." Amanda smiled and shrugged. "Magnus," Mallory said and he tensed. "Truth or dare." He looked over at Amanda who was grinning ear to ear.

"Dare?" he said uneasily. Amanda's smile grew bigger...if that was possible.

"I dare you to kiss the most attractive person in the room." Mallory smiled. Magnus was speechless he looked at his sister who was smirking eyes gleaming with pride in her plan.

Magnus's face was red he leaned over to kiss Alex on the cheek. Alex turned her head to look back at Magnus. Magnus's lips were on Alex's. He pulled away and hid his face in his hands. Alex was smiling although blushing she said "I like you too Magnus."

Then Amanda shot up from were she was sitting "My job here is done." she smiled walking out.
