Fear & Desire - Legacies (book 2)

Death

The last thing you saw before drifting out of consciousness was Loki. You swayed in and out of a state of unconsciousness as he held you. You felt yourself slipping whilst he begged you to hold on but the loss of blood was too much. You had always imagined what dying felt like. Was it just a transition or was there an angel wearing black that'd ask you if you were ready to go before kissing you on the lips, severing your connection to this realm? Or perhaps a light. Whatever you had imagined, it didn't really feel like that. For you, it was an unfamiliar yet comforting voice.

"Y/N." You heard someone call. Opening your eyes, you were met by someone who looked familiar. Trying to work out who she was, you gasped when you remembered the time you delved into Loki's mind and saw his childhood.

"You—you're Frigga." You stuttered.

"Yes dear." She smiled.

You almost felt relieved until the realisation hit you.

"I—oh—I've died." You winced as you tried to stop the tears that were welling in your eyes realising you'd never be able to hold Seven again.

"Not yet dear" Frigga assured as she put a hand on your shoulder "I want to thank you."

"For what?" You questioned confused.

"For loving Loki. sometimes he says things out of anger and desperation that he doesn't mean. You are an amazing mother y/n." She simpered "and for that little angel." She grinned, pinching your cheek.

"You see us?" You gasped.

"Yes, I visit when he calls to me." She replied.

"He loves you so much. He regrets not telling you enough." You smiled sadly.

"Loki never needed words, his actions were always enough." She assured.

"So if I'm not dead, what's going on?" You inquired as you took in your surroundings.

"You have a decision to make my sweet girl. You can either stay or you can go back." She explained "and do me a favour please y/n."

"Anything" you nodded.

"Tell my sons I love them." She nodded.

"How do you know I'm going back?"

"Because I know you." She chuckled.

Suddenly, you felt a sharp pain in your leg as Frigga disappeared along with the surroundings. The silence that once surrounded you had transformed into panicked shouts exchanged between whoever was standing over you. Opening your eyes, you were met by Stephen who was looking down at you with a smile.

"Y/n, you're alright." He affirmed. From the corner of your eye, you could see Loki but before you were able to call out to him, your vision blurred as you closed your eyes.

The next time you woke up, you felt a lot less drowsy. Opening your eyes, you saw Loki sitting next to you in the medbay. His eyes widened when he saw yours opening.

"Y/n." He said excitedly.

"I'm a really good fucking mother you bastard." You choked as Loki leaned down to you.

"The best." He said before kissing you.
