Another Love - An Untold Story [completed]

Chapter Three - Settling in Slightly

Later that day, Loki walked in and offered to show me the palace gardens; he thought I might be that kind of person to like gardens. I agreed and he politely opened the rather large, heavy door for me.

We got to the gardens and he sat down on a concrete ledge of a fountain and tapped his hand next to him, asking me to sit next to him. We sat together for a few minutes in silence until this blonde, long haired man possibly the same age as Loki walked towards us and asked in a rather middle-class voice "well, who have we here, brother?" I got very shy and looked down to the white floor that seemed to have a Pearl-like finish. Loki replied noticing how uncomfortable I was "brother, do not assume anything. She had nothing so I took her in."

Later on I was lead back to my chamber where there was some fresh clothes on my bed. I thought maybe I should tell Loki about where I'm from? But no I can't trust him fully just yet. I got dressed and sat on my bed wearing an oversized shirt and some baggy trousers. Looked like Midgard clothes, though it was better than a long white vest. I picked up the book I had started to read the night before and resumed where I left off.

"Excuse me, miss?" It was Loki's brother again. I hesitated "oh- hi- yeah come in." He walked over to me in a very royal way and sat on the edge of my bed. "Excuse me miss, may I ask why you're here? It's just very sudden maybe we can get to know each other."

"Oh I'm so sorry if I feel like an intruder, I come from a very poor background and I was asking my shop lady for some food since I had no money to buy some and she declined. However Loki walked over and gave her some of his money to pay for a decent meal for the night and then offered to take me back here, of course I couldn't decline a son of Odin. So here I am. Happy?" I answered in a very worried way.

"Right, so how long do you intend to stay?". My anxiety was playing up and my foot was tapping the floor when suddenly a heard a voice "now now darling, don't go asking all of these questions I'm sure she doesn't need it right now." As a beautiful lady with her hair pinned up in this beautiful way wearing a long dress was standing with her hands behind her back just in front of the door. "Hello my dear, I'm so glad you are here to stay with us. Feel free to stay however long you want." She was very humble and a royal for sure "my name is Freyja Freyrdottir but you can call me Frigga." I could not believe my eyes that such a beautiful woman has come upon me. "Thank you, Frigga. I promise not to cause any trouble."

Later on that night, I was reading my book imagining all of the scenes when Loki walked in once again to check on me. "Hello again, just came to check if you were going to be okay for the night?" I felt rather calm and told him I was going to be fine. Everyone headed off to bed and so did i, of course I had to read my book before going to sleep.

In the early hours of the morning I had that exact same dream only the image was a lot clearer. I must have been sleep talking or something before I woke up screaming again. This time Loki was already there standing just in front of the doors with his arms crossed "bad dream again?"

"Mhm, sorry to wake you"

"It's okay, I knew it would happen again." He sat next to me but allowed me to put my head on his shoulder.

We heard screaming from outside and I started to panic. He put his hands on both my shoulders and told me "wait here, I'll see if everything is okay."
