Burden - A Loki Fan Fiction

Chapter 19

Eira had called both me and Sif to a drink out in town.

She sat down and took a long gulp of her wine.

"Girls, I have called you here for a very important task. Let's get drunk, as drunk as possible. We shall drink till we forget even who we are".

"What happened?". I asked.

"Erik happened... I caught him cheating. He cheated on me with the girl from over at the second squad of the guards".

"I'll beat the crap out of him and make him apologise!".

Sif had jumped up, holding her palms on the table. Eira placed her palm on hers.

"Don't, not now. Now all I want is for us to drink".

"Understood... Barkeep, keep the drinks flowing tonight!". Sif called out.

"Sure thing!".

---

I was holding up my head with my hand. The world was spinning around, or was it me that was spinning... I'm not sure. Eira was sitting straight, with her eyes closed and bobbing her head to the rhythm of the music. While Sif was blabbering on about something something 'men are pigs', sometimes sometimes 'girl power'.

"Do you girls need help?".

"No. Just keep the drinks coming!".

Sif answered at an incredible speed. Or was it just me that was in slow motion?

---

I have reached a new level of consciousness. I was able to hear the barkeep talking from way over there.

"Do you know who this girls are? Can you call somebody to pick them up?".

Sif took my hand and placed the cup in my hand.

"Come on, let's drink".

---

"Freya... Freya... Freya, come on, wake up".

I felt my body being shaken. I opened my eyes and saw Loki.

"Oh, hi. Did you come to join us? But you can't... It's girls night, no boys allowed".

Sif got woken up suddenly and she stood up violently.

"No boys allowed!". She yelled and threw her cup on the ground, right next to Loki.

"What happened?".

Eira got her head up from the table and looked at the situation.

"No boys allowed". Sif repeated.

"You should all go home...". Loki replied in his sweet, smooth voice.

"Don't speak, or I'll shoot". Sif said, holding up another cup.

"Stop!". Eira also yelled and then burst out into tears.

"Stop this. Let's go, I want to go home... I want to go to Erik".

"Yes, I'll go and kill him with my own two hands". Sif agreed.

"What happe-...".

I placed my finger over Loki's mouth before he could finish.

"No, don't kill him. I love him!".

As the two argue I pull on Loki's sleeve so he would lower his head for me to whisper in his ear.
