My mood is low once we get back to the palace and Thor can tell because I haven't said a single word the entire time. Shortly after, we cross paths with an elegant looking older woman.
I feel like I know her somehow, there's just something about her that feels so familiar.
"Lady Krystal, I would like to finally introduce you to my mother, Queen Frigga".
"It's really nice to meet you".
"My dear, we have already met. Do you not remember?" she smiles like she knows something I don't.
"We have?"
She summons magic into her right hand and it's the same green magic that had come to my rescue earlier that day.
"You're the one that saved me?"
"When my son returned to the palace alone to gather the soldiers, I knew you would need your magic to fight the beast".
"Thank you so much".
"You should have seen her out there today, mother. She was rather incredible".
"I wasn't that great. I'm a little out of practice so I'm pretty worn out".
"Perhaps you should take her to get some much needed rest, my son".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he returns me to the cells, I instantly sit on my bed, but Thor follows me inside and sits down next to me.
"You were truly incredible today".
"You didn't have to defend me in front of your soldiers though. I can stand up for myself".
"They should not slander all witches simply because there are those who would use magic for evil".
"Thank you, Thor".
With that, he gently traces the outline of my jaw and slowly tilts my gaze up to meet his. I feel hesitant as his lips slowly approach mine, but once they meet I feel myself burn with desire and I get caught up in the moment.
"May I see you again tomorrow?" he questions.
"As long as promise not to almost get me killed again" I giggle like a shy nervous school girl.
"You have my word".
Once he's gone I lay down, feeling absolutely exhausted after the days events when Loki decides to start quizzing me.
"So I see the big oaf is falling for your charms?"
"Loki, I'm really tired. I nearly died today so can I take a nap before you start asking me twenty questions?"
"You nearly died? At least tell me how that came about?"
"The woman I'm after sent a monster here to attack the kingdom and Thor went to get help while I hid. Your mother used magic to unlock my collar, big giant monster threw a tree at me, it missed, thanks to my magic, soldiers came, Thor threw his hammer at it, I froze it, soldier killed it. Happy now?"
"There is something you aren't telling me?"
"She was watching through the monster's eyes and she knows I'm here now" I sigh, just wanting to get some sleep.
"Does that mean you are in danger?"
"Most likely" I say before I drift off to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I must've been asleep for a long time, because it's nearing nightfall when I finally open my eyes again. Loki is sat reading in his chair when I get up.
"I was beginning to wonder if you were still alive in there" he jokes.
"I just used a lot of magic today, that's all" I yawn.
"How did your excursion with my brother go before the attack?"
"It was fine. We went swimming in a lake".
"Together?"
"And naked. I wasn't going to risk ruining this pretty dress" I laugh.
"So my brother finally got to see your scar then?"
"Believe me, he wasn't looking at my scar".
"I am hardly surprised he could no longer resist kissing you if he got to witness you in a state of undress" he smiles wickedly.
"Well you've resisted plenty of times before so clearly I'm not that irresistible".
Two guards walk past, with one of them clearly shooting me a look of utter contempt.
"What's your problem?" I ask him.
"We know your games, witch. You have the Prince under some type of spell".
"Once the people of the kingdom hear that you were without your collar outside of the palace when that beast arrived, they will demand your head" the other adds.
"Come in here and say that to my face" I dare them and they approach closer.
They draw their swords before opening up my cell like the ignorant fools they are.
"We should save the King the bother and behead her ourselves here and now?" one suggests to the other.
"Thor will have your heads himself if you lay a finger on her" Loki tells them.
"It's okay, Loki. I don't think either of them actually have the balls to touch me".
I practically challenge them to come in here, but I know the second I step foot outside of this cell, they could insinuate that I attempted to escape to justify whatever they were going to do.
I realise my mistake quickly when the larger of the two guards steps inside, grabbing me by the throat before lifting me up and slamming me down onto the floor.
My magic was still too drained from earlier, so I couldn't use it to stop him no matter how hard I tried. The other guard grabs my ankles and drags me from my cell and out onto the hard stone floor of the dungeon.
"Oh look here. We have caught the prisoner attempting to flee. What do you think should we do with her?"
"I have always wondered what a Midgardian witch tasted like" the larger one laughs.
"Get your hands off of her!" I hear Loki yelling while they continue to pull me further away from my cell and lift me up onto my feet.
