Loki rushed past the path, crackling sounds produced with every little step, the cold breeze gently ruffling his shoulder length, midnight-black hair. He ran behind the two hooligans, as he called them. They couldn't hear him, for he was a God; he could make them see and hear what he wanted them to see. Yes , he was invisible to them, for now.
He spotted them near the side of a huge wooden house at the edge of the forest, beneath the windows, that seemed only few feet above their heads. They were two boys, seemingly young children, could be the same age as him.
He could take a closer look at them now, for he was standing merely a feet behind them. They wore clothes he had never seen before.
One was a little shorter than the other, but still taller than Loki himself.
He had messy brown hair, sky-blue upper garments and muddy lower ones, and had wheat-cloured skin. The taller one had lighter, golden blonde hair , just like Thor;
He thought despicably. Him and his elder brother never got along, competition was always brewing between the boys; even as children.He remembered that he would play with his brother when they were younger, along the mounysins, the forest, the grassy plains; playing with balls and retiring to hide and seek; and taking turns being the sly "it".
until that fateful day their Lord father decided to trigger enemity by announcing a heir would be chosen on their 13 th birthday, by a fighting competition; and the display of their godly abilities. His father always favored thor a tad bit more. His father was unaware of his treatment to his own sons, for he did it subconsciously.
This partiality was deeply imprinted into the mind of the young boy, always making him aware he was the inferior one, that he had to to be the best to win Odin's approval. Outshine Thor.
The blonde boy wore dark blue upper garments and dark brown lower ones. He had a fairer skin tone.The two boys started hooting and howling , making eerie noises; chanting fake spells with strange "haunted" voices. throwing stones up the windows; pulling Loki out of his thoughts. A shrill, high pitched screech came out the windows , and the sound of furniture being tossed about. A hand pulled apart the curtains;
" OH MY GOD! WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE NORTHERN STAR WAS THAT! You idiotic street urchins! You Good for nothing boys! You dared to disrupt my peaceful slumber! Snitches! Monkeys! " said the ear-splitting high pitched voice. The two boys tried their best not to laugh, but uttered muffled laughter , ever so subtle.
Loki was baffled, but his eyes shone with a hint of dozens of mischievous ideas.He made an illusion of a giant white dragon, with fiery , ruby red eyes; and then he made it roooaaaar!
They froze, including the one inside the house. Their faces were struck with horror. The boys screamed and ran away as fast as their legs would carry them. The lady in the house, who was just yelling at them, threw all sorts of thimgs; pillows, blankets, plates, a bed ... all the while screaming as if she had seen the scariest thing In the world.
Loki burst with laughter and then ran on the path the boys had taken; to find them near his favorite banyan tree, panting, catching their breaths. Their faces where white with shock, and laced with fright.
"What in the world was that?" Asked the brunette. "How am I supposed to know? White, fiery, scary thingy with fancy , sparkly, glittery , scary ruby eye balls appears out of nowhere, scares us to near death!" said the blonde.
"Do you think it will come after us?" Asked the brunette haired boy."Nope, I think we lost it for good"
"We shall never go back there again. Ever."
"No we shall never"
"On second thoughts, how about we go check it out tomorrow night? Investigate more about the great mysterious white monsta"
"Are you crazy Edmund?! That ghostly thing can kill us!"Ah, so the brunette's name was Edmund.
"But isn't it intriguing? Ghostly white monster appearing out of thin air, fiery, ruby eyes, oh, we've GOT to know more about this ghostly thing or whatever that white buffer is!"
"Get your head out of that imagination of yours, it's not good up there "
"Oh please Charlie!"
"Nope, you seem eager to get us killed""We'll be extra careful! We won't let the thing see us! We'll be hiding in the shadows of the large trees!"
"Let's leave this to tomorrow, miss Umbridge will tell everyone about this tomorrow, and we need to get home before mother discovers we're not in bed"
"Right. But we're coming back
Tomorrow , right?"
"No.""Please?!! Please, please, please, please, please.....etcetera.."
"Alright alright shut up eddy we're coming back, but just for five minutes "
"YESSSSSSSSSSS!"Loki chuckled to himself, they had more cheerful things waiting for them tomorrow.
