Alive Or Dead

As we sat down Loki started to make a small fire as the night started to draw in. I was still wondering how I could find out what was going on in his head. I know the reason why people hide stuff it's to either protect them or the ones they care about. I felt sympathy for him after the life he had to go through. Finding out about his true self, I know myself how tough that is and can be, especially when you don't have parents to guide you.

Before we knew it the night was here. I lay on my back and looked up at the stars. I watched them as they sparkled I was completely drawn in by then and there beauty.

"I need to check up on Myles" I replied sitting up
"I'm sure he's fine" Loki spoke back
"How can you be so sure?" I questioned him
"Because he's a big boy and I'm sure he can take care of himself"
"Loki what aren't you telling me?"
"I can't tell you" he spoke softly
"I have the right to know. What has happened? I swear if you don't tell me now there will be consequences" I hissed at him
"I'm doing this to protect you, don't you understand" he spat
"Loki he's the one person I love I need to tell him that everything is okay and that I'm okay too" I hissed frantically looking for my phone
"You won't be able to call him, he won't answer" Loki replied sitting up

I looked up at him confused and my mind jumped to the worst case possible that he was dead. Panic started to set in, this is why I needed to stay home I would have been able to protect him.

"Loki tell me he isn't!" I spoke as my voice cracked
Loki looked up at me "I'm sorry Clair" he said softly

I hung my head down low in sadness as I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. It was as if someone had just ripped out my heart and crushed it right in front of me. The tears streamed down my face as I got up and walked over to him.

"Show me" I turned to Loki
"I don't think you want to see it" he paused "I won't show you" Loki added

Of course he wouldn't show me that's why I took it in my own hands instead. As I walked over to Loki I touched the side of his head. Loki was fighting hard to stop me from diving into his mind but I couldn't give up fighting I needed to see if he was telling the truth.

Through Loki's thoughts

I saw Myles playing with shadow they were so happy together. He loved that dog so much and she loved him. That's when three loud bangs could be heard from outside the door. A few guys came bursting through the door. I looked over at both of them, Shadows tail went up and she started to snarl at the men that walked in.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Myles hissed
"We are here for this person" the man replied holding up a photo of me
"She hasn't been here in decades"

Decades? I have only been gone a few months.

"Do you know where she is now?" Another man asked
"Of course I don't we lost contact she's probably dead" Myles spat
"Really you believe that?" The man mocked him

The one man started to lean over him then punched Myles while asking him questions about me and who I could be with. But Myles was loyal he didn't let any information slip. He kept looking at Shadow as if to tell her to run but she was also loyal to him.

"Shut that damn dog up!" The man hissed
"No don't!" Myles screamed as he saw the man hold a gun up to Shadow.

Just before the man pulled the trigger Loki managed to get me out of his head. I screamed and punched the floor in anger. "I should have been there if I didn't leave I could have saved them" I said to myself. Loki came over to me and put his arms around me.

"Clair whether you were there or not they still would have killed them" he spoke

I knew he was right but I could have tried to protect them. Shadow was family she was my life line. She helped me through so much and I never even got to see her again. I never felt so sick in all my life, I turned away from Loki and threw up. I was so angry and heartbroken. I couldn't stop crying.
