~Chapter Six~

Analia reached the bifrost. She had managed to escape through the window of her chambers, taking some belongings with her. Mostly clothes and items she couldn't bear to part with, like the Midgardian books her mother had left her. She climbed through the window of Thor's chambers to say goodbye, but of course found him sleeping soundly, so she left him a letter and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead before exiting quickly so she didn't tear up.
She took one final look behind her before she dismounted from her horse, making sure she was not followed.

"Lady Analia." Heimdall's voice echoed through the golden dome of the bifrost.

"Hello Heimdall. I presume you know why I am here." She uttered softly as she walked into the centre of the room.

He nodded.

"The Allfather would not appreciate my helping you, however if I were to briefly step away from my post, I may be too late to stop you." He said, a smirk forming on his lips.

She smiled at him sincerely. Staring out into the universe, preparing herself to leave everything she's ever known. Amidst her rush to get away, she hadn't actually decided where she was going.

"Thankyou Heimdall." She exclaimed.  Inhaling deeply, she walked up to the sword and placed her hands around it. Giving him one final glance, she gripped the sword to twist it in order to open the bifrost.

"Stop!" A voice shouted which she identified instantly as her father's. She let go of the sword and guards on horses came rushing into the golden room, she was surrounded. Behind the guards emerged Odin and Felix.

"What do you hope to achieve by this foolishness Lady Analia?" Odin questioned, she opened her mouth to reply. She was instantly left speechless as she saw a familiar face hiding in the mass of guards.

It was Loki.

Her brows furrowed as she shook her head. She felt as though a knife had just pierced through her heart. She'd only felt this betrayed once in her life, the night her father announced her betrothal to Cassius.

"Well?" Odin asked, his voice echoing throughout the room.

Analia's gaze fell from Loki and moved to Odin, before returning to Loki again.

"I.....I." She muttered, it was all she could manage to get out. For the first time in her life she was speechless.

"Thank the Norns he notified us of your little plan, daughter." Felix said, eyeing the way she looked at the prince.
She had almost forgotten her father was here.

"Is this what makes you happy? Forcing the hand of your only daughter?" She spoke sternly.

"This alliance will bring peace, child. I cannot trust that you won't run."
Felix replied. Gesturing to the guards, they began walking towards her.

Analia stepped back, increasing the distance between her and the guards. She turned to Odin.
"Allfather please." She pleaded.

"Your father's arrangement will benefit Asgard." He exclaimed. Nodding to the guards to continue.

Her heart fell. Her gaze dropped to the floor once more as guards seized her. Chaining her hands behind her back. They began walking her out of the bifrost. As she passed Loki, she made sure to look him in the eye. She wanted to make sure he knew how much he had hurt her.
The one person she thought would never hurt her.
