Myself & Mischief

1:19 - Sabotage

"What? I-I was in a coma for 2 months?" I asked with fear. What had happened that had done that to me. Loki sighed. "I-I don't know" I looked at him. He knew what happened. "Loki, Tell me?" I asked. He shook his head. "I-I can't" His eyes starting to fill with tears. "Loki...please" I asked gently as I placed my hand on his cheek. He took a deep breath. "We suspect that someone .... drugged you... at the party" I froze. "Have you any idea who?" I asked. He shook his head. "Nothing's come up but someone must've got in here and we think it could've been someone that was hired. The bartender for example" He dropped his head. "I should've stayed with you all night. If I hadn't of left your side none of this would've..." He choked on his words and tears began to roll down his cheeks. "hey, Loki, you listen to me. This is not your fault." I said, my voice still weak. He looked up at me again. "Loki, please don't blame yourself" I hated when he took blame for everything. I lay there and closed my eyes for a second trying to fight off the tears. "If anything I should apologise for .... telling you who I really was." I felt the tears start to fall down my face. Loki placed his hand on my cheek. "Look. Your past is not going to make me fall out of love with you. I love you regardless of your imperfections" He looked deep into my eyes. "You're perfect. Your eyes, Your hair, Your laugh, Your smile and how adorable you look when you sleep. Nothing could change the way I feel about you" He slowly leant forward and kissed me softly. He broke the kiss and then he gently sat on the side of my bed and let me lean on him. My body hurt and ached all over. I felt sick to the stomach that someone would try to drug me. 

"Loki! We need to go. Now!" Thor spoke as he came to the door. "Why, brother?" He asked "It's Hela" He spoke. Loki was speechless. "It's been discovered that for some reason she is after Madison" Fear struck Loki's face. "I'm staying here with Madison, Brother. I Will not leave her side!" He stated. I could hear the fear in his voice but also the anger from deep inside. Who was this Hela? Was she really that dangerous? Did she have the ability to shape-shift? "Madison, Do not fear, Hela will not touch you. Me and Loki won't let her. The avengers compound is the safest place for you." Thor reassured me. He then went to go and warn the rest of the compound of her. 

Security had significantly increased since everyone was warned about Hela. Hela was the Goddess of Death, Loki and Thor's Sister. Odin tried to keep her away but she found a way of breaking free from captivity while Odin was still alive. He didn't know how but she must've somehow got out when Odin was in Odin-sleep when Thor was originally banished to Midgard. I was terrified but at the same time knew I was safe. I now had to keep my eyes and ears open. There was always a saying on Asgard. 'Where there are Wolf's teeth, Wolf's ears are near'. Luckily since knowing Loki, My ears were very sharp. 

Loki stayed by my side as I was in the hospital wing of the avengers compound. He came back into the room with a tray of tea. "Thank-you Loki" I smiled weakly. I still didn't have any energy to move or stand. "Anything for you, Darling" He smiled as he handed me my cup of tea. There was nothing more satisfying that a nice cup of herbal tea. "Loki, do you think that Hela will get to me?" I asked as I stared into my cup. I was so scared of her. No one was strong enough to face her. The Valkyrie all died gruesome deaths because of her. "As long as I am around, She won't touch you" He smiled as he squeezed my shoulder with comfort. I sighed. "Why does she want me though?" I asked. he sat in thought. "Probably because, she knows about me and you and she knows that would mean one day you being the Queen of Asgard. She desires the throne more than anyone" He spoke softly. I could tell he was worried too but I think we all were, but my mind flashed to what he just said, "Queen of Asgard?" I said. He nodded at me smiling. "Well when we officially wed, you'll be a Princess of Asgard as I am a Prince of Asgard. You will also be able to take my name if you wish to and become Madison Odinson" He smiled. "I would like that" I smiled. Anything to get rid of my name. I didn't want any association with my family. Not after learning the history of my so-called family. I didn't want to be Magnhildt Steffansdottir anymore. I would rather be Magnhildt Odinsdottir. 

A few days had passed and Loki was still helping me get to grips with walking around again as I was still really weak. I had tests over the past few days to work out what was in my system to cause all this, because the tests that were done while I was in a coma came up with nothing, but then one of the medical team who specialised in magical effects came over and handed me the test results: 

------------ TEST RESULTS FOR MAGNHILDT STEFFANSDOTTIR ------------

Poisonous Substance: UNDETECTED

Unknown Poisonous Magic: DETECTED

There were traces of an unknown magic in your bloodstream that is believed to be some magic specialising in the effects of poison. These are known to cause: Comas, Heart attacks, Death and Amnesia along side many other unknown symptoms. The Medical Team at the Avengers Compound are working hard on researching this and are bringing in specialists who know everything that needs to be known about this sort of magic known only to Asgard and especially to the Goddess of Death, Hela.

I read the test results and looked at Loki. "She was here... In the compound" I said, my voice shaking and tears beginning to appear in my eyes. Loki instantly pulled me into a loving embrace. "She won't harm you. I will not let her get you. She will have to go through me"
