"Well?" he stands there looking down at us, becoming impatient.
"The barriers came down while we were returning to our cells from the baths. All of the prisoners escaped and appeared to be coming for Krystal".
"The prisoners that arrived here today from Hel?"
"The very same. The servants had just removed her collar when the barriers fell, so she compelled all of the servants and the guards to leave. She saved their lives".
"How did she do this?" he asks, looking around at the dozens of bodies scattered on the ground.
"With her magic father. She saved everyone here including myself".
"Is this true, Lady Krystal?"
"Yes" I answer back weakly.
"Come now, both of you. We cannot have you remaining down here with the stench of death lingering in the air".
Loki carries me the whole way until we reach a room where we're both instructed to wait. Loki soon pours me a glass of water and passes it to me.
"How do you feel now?"
"Tired, but I'll be fine".
"You are truly insane, do you know that?"
"I thought that was what you liked about me, Mr Mischief?"
"Well at least I did not have to save you this time".
"Sorry to disappoint you. I know you like playing the hero".
"I am hardly what you would call a hero, Krystal".
"You're my hero, Loki" I joke, punching him weakly in the arm in an attempt to lighten the mood.
"I now see why you hate your mother so much".
"Delightful isn't she? She sure thought you were handsome, you must be positively flushed".
"I do not believe that type of madness is the one for me".
"Listen, about what she said..."
"I know".
He cuts me off, knowing I was about to talk to him about my mother's taunting behaviour.
"You know what?"
"I saw the way you reacted when she questioned your feelings towards me".
"You were right. She was just trying to antagonise me. It's something she's always been good at".
We remain silent for a while, but Loki clearly has something to say about it.
"Since the first day I met you, I have never felt this angered, annoyed or generally confused by one person in my entire life".
"The feelings mutual" I laugh.
"I know you want nothing more than to believe you feel nothing for me, but that is a lie".
What? Why would he say that?
"I don't feel anything for you, Loki".
The very idea of what he'd just said terrified me to my core.
"It fills me with fear, as I feel the same, yet I know that I cannot ever express these emotions without hurting you".
I get up and turn away from him, unable to look him in the eye for a moment longer.
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Your mother was right about how I feel".
"That's not true, you can't" I say with my eyes now filling with tears.
"The very thought of you marrying Thor is eating me away inside and I have to say something before it is too late. You are making a mistake".
"Please stop!" I beg him and try to leave the room only to find that it's locked from the outside.
"Then tell me you do not feel for me what I feel for you".
"I'm marrying your brother!"
"He cannot make you happy and he does not deserve you!" he shouts with such a passion that I can't help but turn back and face him.
"And you think you do? Do you honestly believe that you can make me happy?"
"Yes".
"Never saying how we truly feel or being able to have children together doesn't sound like happiness, Loki".
"So you would rather have false affection and children with a man you feel nothing for?"
"Loki, please stop this now".
I place my hand on his cheek when tears begin to fall from his own eyes in defeat.
"Then do what needs to be done. Make me forget how I feel for you and spare me from this pain. Do it now, Krystal".
I wipe his tears away and ready myself, even in my weakened state, to take it all away from him just like I'd done to many men before.
When I look into his eyes I'm reminded of my husband and how he would look at me the exact same way he does.
"I can't".
"Do it now before it is too late".
"It's already too late, Loki".
He leans in close and I'm already shaking with fear. I hated him so much for making me feel this way when I'd not felt anything but loneliness for so long.
I wanted to push him away, but I needed to have his kiss even if it was only just this one time. Our lips soon caress in a slow battle that neither of us could hope to win.
Kissing Thor felt like fire, but Loki's love was an all consuming, ice cold embrace that I wanted to be imprisoned inside forever.
"Run away with me?" he pleads.
"I can't do that, not when I'm this close to finishing this".
"You are still going ahead with the marriage, aren't you?"
"I'm so sorry, but I have to".
