Mischief's Heir

Leave

  The day went by slowly followed by another sleepless night, and questions filling my mind.

  "Am I more like Loki than I thought? Why do I feel so connected to him? Why is he being so nice to me? Is Tony really the reason mom left?" I couldn't stop thinking and so I just walked around the castle, eventually making my way to a large hill in the gardens where I laid and watched the stars.

  "Oh, I'm sorry I can leave princess," a maiden who looked around my age said as I shook my head.

  "It's alright, I was just looking at the stars," I said as she sat down next to me.

  "Yes, this is the best spot for that," she smiled as I nodded.

  "My uncle, he used to bring me to the roof of our house, and we would watch the stars until I fell asleep, it's always been my comfort," I admitted as she laughed.

  "Odin took me in after my father died in a war, and my mother when I was born, so I grew up here."

  " Why are you a servant then?"

  "It's what Allfather said," she shrugged. We talked for hours before I ended up drifting off, the stars my only sight.

  "Princess, princess wake up," Kiana, the servant girl smiled as she woke me up still laying on the grass.

  "Wow, I actually got sleep," I laughed as she smiled, pulling me off the ground as we walked inside together.

  "You should come to Midgard with me, I'm sure you'd love it, and my family there," I suggested, my hands in my pajama pants pockets.

  "I'd love to but Allfather-"

  "Has made you serve him long enough, come with me," I smiled as she nodded.

  "By the way, how old are you," I asked as she smiled again.

  "One thousand and one," she said as my eyes widened.

  "That's I believe sixteen to you," she said with deep thought as I nodded.

  "Meet me at my chambers in an hour with your things and we'll go," I said as she nodded, and went to her quarters.

  "Jessica, can I speak to you please," Odin's voice boomed from behind me, startling me slightly.

  "Did I do something wrong grandfather?"

  "Why did you ever come here if you're just going to leave," he asked as we walked through the halls.

  "I wanted to learn about my past, and I actually care about family," I spat as his eye locked on mine.

  "I know punishment, trust me I do, but Loki didn't deserve what punishment you gave him," I said as he sighed.

  "You know nothing about your father."

  "But I do, I've been in his head, I've seen his past and you raised him to fear and hate his own kind, and by doing that you twisted the most innocent mind into someone who only wished to please you."

  "Are you challenging my choices mortal," he spat as I felt myself fighting for control of my magic.

  "I am, because your choices are unfair and cruel," I said as I went to walk away, but was held where I was.

  "Guards take her down to her father," he yelled as men clad in gold armor walked towards me, and I wanted to fight them off, but I knew it would make things worse.

  "I've done nothing wrong, just spoken my mind and this is what you do after killing my mother, some king you are," I spat as one guard threw me to the floor as Odin walked away.

  "Let go of me," I growled as they continued trying to drag me to the dungeons.

  "Let go of me now," I yelled as I heard familiar footsteps, and could feel the armor of the guards cutting into my skin from the tight grip.

  "Unhand her," Sif's voice boomed loudly as I saw her, the warriors three, and Thor standing just a few feet from us.

  "Allfather said to put her with Loki in the dungeons," one of the guards said as I tasted the blood from my nose in my mouth.

  "Why?"

  "I spoke my mind and he didn't like it," I seethed as I pulled my arms again, and was pinned to the floor roughly.

  "You do realize that is the Princess of Asgard you're doing that to," Fandral said as I decided now was the time to teleport, but when I did I instantly fell to the floor, my leg shooting pain up my body as I groaned.

  "Jessica," Thor said as he knelt next to me.

  "I'm fine," I groaned as I stood up, limping my way to my chambers. I used my magic to pack everything, and headed down to Loki to say goodbye.

  "Are you ever coming back," was the last thing he asked with tears in his eyes as I shook my head.

  "This isn't my home," I sighed as he nodded, and I ran back upstairs. I couldn't find Kiana anywhere so I waited until sundown when I finally said I had to go. I grabbed my bags and boxes before walking the long distance to the bifrost and I was back on earth in a matter of seconds.

  "Home," I said to myself as I looked at the house I grew up in blown to bits below my feet.

  "What the hell, Quinn call Tony," I said worriedly as I jumped down, leaving my stuff on the roof.

  "I can't get through to him," she said as worry clouded my brain.

  "Call Nat," I said as I flew to the triskelion.

  "Hey kid what's up?"

  "Where's Tony?"

  "At home, wait I thought you were in Asgard," she said as I heard worried voices behind her.

  "No, I was only there for like a week, but-"

  "You were there for three months Jess," she said as I landed in front of the doors of the triskelion, walking straight inside.

  "Wait, where are you right now," she asked as I walked into the elevator to see the broken walls.

  "The triskelion, why where are you?"

  "Jessie get out of there now," she said as I became confused.

  "Nat what's going on," I asked as the doors opened, and I was faced directly with a gun, so I dropped my phone, and put my hands up in surrender.

  "Get her in the truck," Rumlow said as two agents grabbed me, putting a bracelet on me as I felt weaker, and a sharp pain emmited through my arm before everything went black.
