Loki Laufeyson Imagines

At All Costs: Part 2

Switching up timelines, you and Loki have been dating for about 3 years, and you dated Nick 5 years ago.  You are 25 years old.

~Loki's POV~

My blood is boiling as I run through all the ways I could murder this man slowly and carefully as painfully as possible.  The ways I could kill him and torture him how he fears most.

"I will not ask you again!! Who are you and what are you doing?!" I seethe, pulling out knife, and pressing it against his throat.  He smiles, and laughs like a maniac.

"What?  Has my pretty Y/n never told you about me?" he laughs, and it clicks.  This was Nick.  This makes my blood boil more, and I can feel a coldness rush over me, my eyes glowing red.  The fear finally comes into Nick's eyes.

"Woah, woah, man calm down!! I-I d-didn't mean a-any harm!!" he stutters, and I just smile savoring all his fear.

"I am going to kill you.  I am going to kill you slowly.  But before I do that I am going to torture you.  You will beg for mercy, and I will bring you so close to death you can almost smell the gates of Hell, but I will rip you from it, tear you away from the only release of the pain, again and again, before I finally, slowly snuff out the mere light you call life you pathetic mortal," I threaten, a grin spreading across my face, as I relish in the feeling of threatening mortals again.  Instilling the fear in them, almost being able to taste it.

"Loki, stop this!!" I hear someone call.  I turn to see Y/n, fear filled in her eyes.  My whole demeanor softens at her fear, the red retracting from my eyes, the coldness fading from my skin.  I had never seen her look so fearful, and the thought that I was the one instilling this fear in her.

All of the sudden, I feel a sharp pain slash across my face, and Y/n screams.  I stumble back, putting a hand to my cheek, and removing it, a dark liquid covering my hand.  I realize Nick is gone from my grasp, and I whip around, just in time to see him throw open the balcony. 

I rush over there, but he's already gone.  My heart is pounding as my eyes scan across the darkness and honking of cars below.  Where could he have gone?!  I curse under my breath, slamming my hand on the railing.  How could I have let him get away?  How did he even get in here!?  I leave for two minutes to get water, and Y/n is almost killed!!

Oh my gosh.  Y/n!! I rush back inside, seeing her taking deep breaths, fiddling with the bracelet I got her two years back.  I slowly approach, quite worried I had scared her.  I crouch down, balancing on my feet, and trying to not get too close.

"Y/n... " I whisper, not really knowing what to say.  When she does not respond, lost in her own world, I slowly reach out, letting my fingers brush against her shoulder.  Y/n jumps, backing up a bit, and everything in me sinks.  I had scared her.  I did not mean to scare her.  The one person I thought would never fear me... feared me.

"Y/n, darling I am so - " I begin, but I cannot finish, when she bursts into tears, making her way towards me, and wrapping her arms tightly around me.  I am surprised by the gesture, but I move into a sitting postition, as I pull her into my arms.  She sobs into my shoulder, as I stroke her hair.

"Shh, it is all over eskala, he is gone now," I whisper to her, but she continues to cry.  I want to cry myself, which does not happen often.

"I am so sorry eskala.  I promised to protect you... and look I failed at that," I mumble, my heart sinking.  Y/n sniffles, pulling away, to look at me.

"Loki... i-it's... you did p-protect me.  I-I... that just scared me that's all.  It... it was a shock to see him," Y/n manages to say, but it brings me no comfort.  I look up at her, to see the big bruise on the side of her face.

"Oh Y/n.  I am so sorry,"I sigh, gently cupping the side of her face.
