on the run from the God of misschief (Loki x reader)

IX

"aaaaaaaaah!" I screamed.

I looked around me and saw that i was just in my room. Another nightmare, but this time it was different. This time Loki killed me instead of Tess.

The door of my room opened and Loki ran in.

"What happened?!" He said, rushing towards me to check if i was hurt.

How did he get here so fast? His room is all the way down the hall.

"Y/n, are you okay? Please say something."

I wanted to say that i'm fine but i couldn't. My whole body was petrified. I looked at him, trying to hold back tears. He noticed and without another word he hugged me.

Somehow i felt save in his arms, yet he was the villian in my dreams. I let go and tears flooded down my cheeks. We stayed like that for a while, untill he suddenly let go.

I was still crying but most of my tears were used up. He wiped my cheek with his thumb to dry it.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked gently.

To be honest i didn't want to talk about it, but he was probably going to stay here until i'd talk. But how was i supposed to tell him that i have nightmares about him?

"I- " i started, but couldn't finish my sentence.

"It's okay, you can tell me anything."

I wasn't sure what to say.

"Do you remember the day i escaped?"

He looked terrified of what i was about to say.

"Do you remember the girl you killed in front of my eyes?"

He stayed quiet, so i just went on.

"She was my bestfriend." I said, trying not to think about that moment. "She was the only person in the world that cared about me."

I paused for a second and looked at Loki. His face was full of guilt. I felt bad for making him feel bad, but he had to know. So i skipped straight to the point of my story.

"Ever since i lost her i have these awful nightmares. They're always the same and end up with you killing her." I said.

"You mean Tess?" He asked.

"How do you know her name?" I asked completely thrown off.

"I know the names of every single one of my victims." He said kind of proud but soon realised this was not something to be proud of.

He quickly gestured me to go on with my story.

"So i've had this nightmares ever since my escape and they always stayed the same except for now."

"What was different now?" He asked.

"Instead of killing Tess..." I paused for a second. "you killed me..."

He was startled. Loki didn't know what to say at first. Then he eventually spoke:

"I would never hurt you..."

"How can i be sure? You've killed so many people without remorse. Why would i be any different?"

Loki's pov

"How can i be sure? You've killed so many people without remorse. Why would i be any different?" She said.

I was startled at her words. Mostly because i would never hurt her but also because they were true. I have indeed killed many people, but i didn't want her to know me like that.

I tried to think of a way to fix this, when i got one. It was my worst idea ever, but it was the only thing that could help me.

I have to make her forget. All i have to do is touch her forehead with my hand and all of this will be over and we can finally be together.

"Loki, i'm sorry but i have to. You understand, right?" She said, taking me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, what did you say?" I asked her.

"I asked if you understand that i have to leave."

Wait, what! Was she leaving? I can't let this happen.

"I'm sorry y/n, but i can't let you do that." I said.

I quickly touched her forehead, taking away all her memories of Tess. She fell backwards onto the bed and i just watched her. She looked so peacefull. I did feel guilty though. What if it didn't work? What if she will still remember?

I didn't want to leave her like this, so vulnerable, but i had to go. I left the room and told the guards to watch her.

"Guard her with your life. If i come back here and there is anything wrong with her, i will kill your family in front of you and then torture you to death!" I said, making sure that she would be save.

The guard gave me a quick nod and got into his position in front of her door.
