27. Small Frustrations
Hel was getting angry now, and she was feeling it even when not next to him. She was angry at how difficult he was, and she was angry that she couldn’t figure this how to feel thing out. What exactly did she have to do to get what she wanted from him? Second she was tired of Surt hunting for them, sending demonic creatures to track them down. Clearly they could sense her rather easy, and it was getting in the way of her concentrating on the task of getting Max. She was considering doing something drastic to remind those creatures just who they really answered too, but she didn’t want Surt to show suddenly. Then she’d have her hands full. She was still bound by rules at the moment.
“I will be back in a few minutes.” She told him because she was hungry, and didn’t have to take from him yet. But she really wanted to. In the next few days she was going to have to. Though she

Mortal's choice 27. Understanding Another
Hel followed him looking at the town and it started to grow into more of a city. She had to say that these mortals were very good at inventing things to help them when they weren’t like Max or others with gifts. But they were losing touch. They were losing their connection to it all and the part of her that was destructive watched closely. If it wasn’t good for the balance, it was fair game to destroy. Maybe that was her greatest role, destroy what is to make room for what could be. “This way.” He said turning down a path that was between a couple buildings. It had an archway that had plants growing everywhere. Just a few feet in it felt like you left the city and walked into a forest. The building that was tucked away here had vines growing up it. The sound of nature was real here. Looking left and right she couldn’t see the other buildings. Just a few large ponds and it seemed to extend quite a ways. Sh
Mortal's choice 29. Being A Friend
“At least we’ve had time to rest.” Max said. Which he needed the sleep more than she did but they hadn’t been bothered yet. The potion and charm he and his grandfather made were working great. It felt nice to not have to worry at the moment in his opinion. Several days had passed and he was trying to decide the best course of action. Hel was being rather quiet the past couple days. He was trying to figure out why to be honest. She wasn’t pestering him, and he felt like something was off.“You have needed it.” She commented glancing around the street. A dark look back on her face.“Is there something wrong? I don’t feel anything off at the moment toward us. You look like there might be.” She looked up at him as they walked around the city, she shrugged and pointed.
Mortal's choice 30. Pain In Your Heart
“You okay?” He asked her where they were crouched behind a car. They had to take cover like everyone else on the street. It was utter chaos, a random act of violence. Max again thought the world cruel. “Yeah, a bullet just grazed my arm.” She said and Max was looking over at an older man on the ground who wasn’t moving. Max moved slightly toward him and Hel grabbed his arm. “He’s gone Max, you can’t help him.” Sirens were sounding, and there was shouting from the masked armed men. More explosions that sounded like they were throwing grenades. Max went to lean back to take cover and this odd dizziness came over him. He shook his head and sat back hard. “Max?” Hel said and as he sat back she saw the blood pooling on his shirt from his chest. He was blinking rather rapidly and seemed confused.
Mortal's choice 31. So Close, Yet So Far
“Max, I’m going to move you okay?” He heard Hel’s voice and she sounded off, kind of worried which was weird to hear. He felt groggy, he felt like he couldn’t open his eyes and he mumbled something even he couldn’t understand. What was he even trying to say? What was that weird taste in his mouth? Was he drugged? “I have to move you or they are coming back to take you. They noticed that your blood type is different, and that you are healing pushing out the sutures they put in you. I’m taking you from here before they can do that okay?” He tried to open his eyes again, but everything was a bright blur and his eyes hurt. They felt sensitive and so did his hearing. Was she shouting at him? Where was she taking him from? He however felt himself being lifted off the bed, and there were a lot of sounds, reminding him of a hospital. Hel had stood in the room unnotic
Mortal's choice 32. Potions and Talks
Max opened his eyes and was staring up at a white ceiling. He turned his head already knowing that she was there. The bed he was on was reasonably comfortable and the room was on the smaller side painted a light brown. It was dark out now but he could see well in the room and met her dark gaze. “You are awake, I was starting to worry.” She commented and he was surprised she said that. She was worried? Her expression said it wasn’t a lie and he touched his chest where the bright pink spot was. He could still feel that it was sore, but whomever had stitched it up had done a great job. He was healing rather well. “No need I’m here.” He said with a smile. “Apparently it’s going to take more than that to stop me.” She leaned up. “You nearly died, if I hadn’t been there the wraiths would have taken you. I warned them n
Mortal's choice 33. Feeling the Effects
“Thanks, I really need this.” Max said about the food, noting her odd shifting again. She cleared her throat. “Did you need more?” She asked and he shrugged. “Yeah I will, but this stopped my body from cannibalizing itself for energy. I’m surprised you got so much.” He said and she shrugged. “Easy when you are invisible.” He just smiled a bit. “I guess that helps.” He sighed and leaned against the counter there, she was more by the phone a few feet from him as she had been the one to hang up. She looked a little odd to him, he’d say almost fidgety but wasn’t sure if that was the right word. “Do you think your elder brother is going to show sooner rather than later?” He asked her and she met his gaze.
Mortal's choice 34. Truth and Bonding
Max shifted coming more on the bed and took a hold of her, she’d never felt such a rush. She felt breathless and like the blood surged through her body making her feel far too hot. She moaned at the rush that went through her right then. To her it was all new. Her womb clenched and this felt amazing, feeling so turned on and wanting someone. It felt like every nerve ending of her body was on fire. His hands shoved the shirt she wore up, she felt a shiver at how his hands moved over her skin feeling her, and she really wished she was wearing a dress. That would have been so much easier to get off. However he shoved the shirt off of her, and she immediately went back to kissing him. Loving how he tasted, that he was kissing her back. She tore at his clothes wanting them off, the bare skin contact a moment later was incredible. He felt so real to her right now. This felt real. It really did not matter to her
Mortal's choice Jormungand
Fenrir was the first to feel it. He stopped dead in his tracks, he’d been outside with Tamara. They were trying to decide about removing the blade or not. He still didn’t really share how with her, because if she was going to do it, it was going to have to be in a brave act. How could you do it, if you already knew it was safe? Not a very brave act in his opinion, but he feared Surt knowing the moment he grew to size. However that wasn’t what he felt now. That wasn’t what made him pause. Fenrir looked down there was a shift to the ground. His head turned toward the west, it was just barely light out. He could feel it, Jormungand was coming. He was going to enter this world and all the hair on his body went on end. He and his brother were deeply connected. As it was Jormungand should be the one to wake Fenrir shaking the world and destroying the tomb Fenrir had been in.
