CONTINUATION OF LOKI'S P.O.V.

I RAN AND RAN AND TRIED to tread through the snow, only Sigynn's knife and jar slowed me down. Though, there was no way I would drop these. I don't know what she needed them for, but she'd have to get through my dead body before she got them back.

I wwas quite happy that Thelion wasn't there, because it would've slowed me down. My posion doesn't last a long time, but long enough for me to have an advantage at their weakened state.

Although, I should have stabbed Sigyn with her knife, I don't know why I didn't.

Maybe because it looks like she needs it for something, and I don't want her blood mixing with mine because it could be some type of ritual thing or something.

I don't want to put my life in danger, or much more Azeli's.

Ah, Azeli.

I haven't seen her in God knows when, and I miss her.

God, do I miss her.

I will finally accept it, that I have found out that I do care deeply for her. I don't want her to get hurt, she doesn't deserve it.

She doesn't deeserve this life she's been given.

She deserves to be mortal and enjoy her life, not be caught up in the universe's problems.

Sigyn was still screaming, but I could block her out with my thoughts.

I quickly evaported and landed a few steps ahead of me, out of the thickest part of the snow, but it felt as if there was a blizzard going on around me.

Which there was.

"LOKI!" Someone screamed at the top of their lungs.

I couldn't tell if it was a man or woman, but honestly, I didn't care.

All I know is I need to get away from them...now.

"Loki!" The same voice called, only it sounded a lot closer, and like a man's.

Is it Thor?

"Loki," I heard them say, and I turned around for Thor to be standing there, Azeli in his arms. He looked tired, like he'd drop her any moment, so I walked over and held out my hands.

"I am completely capable of holding her myself!" Thor yelled over the snow.

I'm guessing they made Mother Nature angry because it was starting to snow so hard that I couldn't see Thor.

"What on Earth have you done?!" I yelled at Thor, but he only gave Azeli to me.

Fortunately, she was pretty light, so it woldn't be that hard to carry her.

I held her close, and felt hheat radiate off of her body. I pulled her cape closer to her and held her to my chest, mentally apologizing over and over again.

Will she hate me when she wakes up? What if she runs off again?

No, I can't let that happen. I put a hand on her head and whispered a spell. One that when she wakes up, she won't be able ot hurt me. I guess you could call it a protection spell for myself, although it would wear off in about an hour, so hopefully she wakes up in that amount of time.

"We should find shelter!" I yelled to Thor, and started walking in a random direction, evaporating every few seconds so we could warm up.

Honestly, I liked having Azeli to my chest. It made me feel happy, like she wanted to be close to me, but physically.
