Loki's POV
She hasn't moved.
'oh god
She's not okay.
'im a monster'
Im not sorry.
'im so sorry
The voice in my head wont shut up. And yet, it is so overpowering. I leave my pride behind for a second. For a second.
I find my eyes are filled with a tear. Stop crying, fool. Her beautiful eyes close and panic envelopes me.
'you've killed her'
"No i haven't."
'you're a monster
"No i'm not."
'you didn't even know her name
"Shut up."
'odin's going to find out'
"Shut up." I pick her limp body up and place it gently on the bed.
"SHUT UP FOR THE LOVE OF THE GODS SHUT UP." My voice echoes on the walls of my room and i shock myself. That voice isnt real. Its in my head. Why am i speaking to it out loud? It's so soft and is filled with life. And it wont shut up. It's like it's trying to escape.
'her eyes are opening. she's okay.
A smile flicks across my face for a second. For a second. She looks up at me. Her eyes are filled with fear and something else. Her mouth has seemed to master the mysterious smile of the mortal painting, the 'mona lisa'.
'she's beautiful
Shut up. I help her up. She resists. I can tell the she is drowsy. She cant think straight. When i look into her mind everything is fuzzy. She isn't making sense.
"What is your name?" I ask her. She stares at me.
"Loki..." She says drowsily. I chuckle.
"No. That is my name. What is yours?" I ask again. Did i really just chuckle. I am the god, Loki. I dont chuckle. She thinks for a moment.
"Your so beautiful Loki" she says as she dozes off. She touches my cheek as she says this. The heat of her touch is almost abnormal. It is abnormal. Think about it later. I gently tap her cheek so she stays awake. Her eyes flutter open once again. Beautiful? Me? Lies. I am a monster. She is so small. So naive. So beautiful. She has much to learn. I know she is in a fragile state so im trying to be as gentle as possible.
"Your name?" I ask again softly. I feel the sudden urge to know everything about her. Shut up
"My name? Allie. Alexia." She says softly. She falls into a gentle sleep. I put her in my bed. She will stay there for now..
Alexia POV
I wake up to a note next to me and my left hip at the back stinging. Nevermind that. I read the note.
"Had business to attend to. Order food if you're hungry. Bathe in my personal bathroom. Do not leave my room, okay? Try not to get up to too much mischief. Im sorry about last night.
-Loki
P.S. Wear a gown. I have a surprise for you
tonight.
A gown? His slave? If that meant free food im cool with it. I giggle. I decide to go and take a bath.
I enter his bathroom. This bath is fucking huge. I run the water. All hot no cold. Im weird like that. I step in and feel my muscles relax. I start swimming around. A melody comes to my mind and i start to hum. The humming turns to singing softly. The singing softly turns to singing fully.
"Sometime's I don't wanna be happy,
Don't hold it against me,
If I'm down just leave me there
Let me be sad."
"You sing beautifully." A voice says. I nearly jump out of my skin.
"FUCK! Oh sorry...hi. Pardon my language i was jus--"
"What song was that?" Loki asks. He's leaning against the door frame smiling mischievously.
"Umm.. happy" I reply. God he looks cute. Shut up..
"It's a beautiful song, Allie." He says. I smile meekly. He walks towards the bath and i cover myself. He hands me a towel. I accept it and wrap it around myself stepping out of the bath. He puts a finger in the bath and jumps back.
"Fuck. Shit. How do you bathe in that?" He exclaims, clutching his finger. For a second i see a twinge of blue in his skin. But it disappears quickly. His eyes are so green today. When he hit me they were an icy blue. Strange.
I get dressed quickly while he turns away. Im not in a gown yet. Suddenly someone bursts through the door panting.
"Brother! The castle is under attack! You must come quickly!" He is dressed in armour with a red cape holding a rather thick stone hammer. Loki is suddenly concerned. He runs out quickly. I follow.
Large blue things are running out of the golden orb at the end of the rainbow bridge and have approached the castle. Honestly, nothing can surprise me right now. They are running and attacking people. There is about 20 of these things in total. They are running at me. Some are attacking that man in armour. Some are attacking the staff. Some are attacking Loki. One pushes me. A cold sting goes through me. It keeps pushing me, amused. Im pissed. Heat flows through me and suddenly my skin is red. Flames erupt from my hands. I let out a scream so loud it echoes off the walls and i leap at this thing. Within minutes, i have killed them. My skin fades to normal and i look around. The man with the armour is shocked. Loki is shocked. The staff are shocked. And then i get a question asked of me that even i dont know: "What are you?" Asks the man in the armour. Loki shoots a look of daggers at him.
"Thor. Dont be rude." He says simply. A man with a patch over one eye walks to me. He examines me and says mostly to himself: "She is a fire giant."
"Father. Is it true?" Thor asks surprised. Loki is grinning.
"What is your name child i must know. Please." Asks 'father' urgently.
"Odin. Why must you know so badly? She is a fire giant. Is that not enough?" Says Loki. Im so confused.
"Alexia. Allie. My name is Alexia." I say quickly. Odin looks like he has just been slapped
"Loki, Alexia, i have to tell you something that will shock you both. Come." Odin says. And we follow.
