Some kinda graphic not really, torture at the end. So just a heads up

She was there when he woke up.

" Eva?" She smiled brightly, her eyes again watery.

"It's me."

Her younger sibling wrapped his arms tight around his sister. " You are alive."

" I am."

Her younger brother leaned back.

" How? The man with the green eyes told me you died. On earth."

Evangeline pressed her lips together.

" What man with green eyes?"

Levian snapped his fingers. " Um, L, l something. Um. Lucky? No. Loki. Yeah him."

Her eyes widened. " When did you see him?"

His grey eyes narrowed. " Just a few days before you came. Why? What's wrong?"

Evangeline's hands fell in her lap. " He was my husband. And he was supposed to be dead."

Evangeline sat on the balcony of her room. She had left her brother to be taken care of by the nurses, who came in shortly after fussing over him.

Her black hair whipped around in the slight breeze. It was still spring, cherry blossoms were just now falling off the trees.

Her gray eyes followed the leaves as they blew around. Goosebumps crawled along her skin but she hardly paid them any mind.

Could Loki really be alive?

He cried out as the whip came in contact with his bare skin. Heat surrounded him seeming to bake his skin.

Blood poured from the open wounds, staining his trousers. His tunic was long since shredded.

" Take him to his cell."

The whip stopped coming down on his back, and two large hands clamped down on his biceps.

His shackles clanked along on the floor as he was drug to the dark room.

He was tossed against the wall, he landed with an oomph.

His breath was rattled by his shattered ribs. He painted to regain his air.

" Too hot you filthy frost giant?" A guard taunted.

He didn't dare look their way. He kept focusing on regaining his breath.

"Why don't you cool down."

Scalding water was tossed on his form causing him to cry out. He could feel his skin blister slightly.

A grovelly laugh and heavy footsteps was what he heard as he collapsed onto the ground.

He let his eyes roll back into his head as he fell into a fitful sleep.
