Chapter 40

July's view

I was getting closer and closer to the scene. It frightened me very much. What had happened here while I was away? I was still very badly injured and limping on and on. A building was burning very badly. So the fire department would have to arrive here soon. A lot of smoke was coming towards me and blocked my view ahead. I had to hold my arm out in front of me so that I could keep my eyes open to some extent. I couldn't see anything or anyone. And hear not to mention.

I then arrived at a place where it was very bad to direction. It seemed as if a fight had taken place here. A rather monstrous fight. I was breathing heavily and it was difficult for me to stay on my feet all the time. I just ached all over.

"Hello? Is there anyone here? Dad?" I then asked around the area, but without getting an answer. Are they out looking for me? Or has the fight moved to another place? I couldn't think of anything else to say. I then suddenly lost consciousness from the intense pain and fell limply to the floor. Almost on the floor. Because someone or something caught me. I heard someone call my name, but I couldn't hear the voices. I heard everything silently and my ears felt numb. Unfortunately, I could no longer keep my eyes open to find out who it might have been.

Loki's view

"Hello? Is there anyone here? Dad?" I heard a female voice call out.

"Did you hear that?" I then asked around the room. Half hadn't listened to me, were busy with their problems, while Tony looked at me questioningly.

"What's Loki?" he finally asked.

"Someone is calling" I whispered and started running in the appropriate direction. Yes I ran. A glimmer of hope lit me up and when I saw Juli losing consciousness, everything burned brightly around me. I ran to her and caught her. I called out her name.

Tony called her name too as he followed me and spotted her. I wrapped her tightly around my arms and never wanted to let her go. I had never had a feeling like that before. I had to be in love. With time and now especially, I allowed this feeling. It was a very beautiful and meaningful feeling. A feeling that does not disappear so quickly.

2 days later

We were in the hospital. I sat in front of Juli's bed and held her hand. Her wounds were taken care of, stitched up and bandaged. I got a quick order from Tony to watch her for a minute. After all, she had been watching me for a long time.

Julis moved. I startled and opened my eyes wide. Juli had been in a coma for 2 days and the doctors guessed that she wouldn't wake up for at least a week. By then her wounds should have healed for the most part and she would have recovered very well.

She opened her eyes and when she saw me, she was astonished.

"You of all people are sitting on the edge of my bed?" she then asked jokingly. I nodded just a little shyly. After all, she didn't really know that I had feelings for her. And I didn't know what she had for me.

"Who won the fight?" she then asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"You... Um I mean me" I then said a little embarrassed. Was I about to say something nice to her?

"You, how? Did you see that weird guy with the stick too?"

"Adrik. An ally at the time. He was a traitor."

"You know him?" she asked, confused.

"Yes. We fought together, so to speak. Unfortunately, he already had other plans and he doesn't care for old acquaintances" I paused for a moment and then asked further "How do you know him. Have you already made his acquaintance?" She laughed
