16- Go to sleep

A/N- Hi again, sorry for another note so soon after the last! I've nearly finished writing all of the Thor movie now, just need to finish the last chapter and from there it will be some small possible filler chapters and then the amazing avengers movie. So since its 2am I should probably take the advice of the chapter title and go to sleep, but the finishing of this chapter should be up by the end of the day and then Avengers will be tomorrows work! I love you all so much for reading this, the voting means the world, so once again thank you!

Both guards rushed to my side and I remained sprawled across the floor, perfectly still, with my eyes still closed. One guard hastily removed my left armlet and wrapped his hand around my wrist and stretched two fingers out checking for my pulse. Perfect.

My eyes bolted open and before either of the guards to react I pulled my left arm across so that it lay on my right arm. The guard still had my wrist firmly in his grasp so he was flung along on the ride too, but before he could fall on top of me I sent my right knee straight for his face.

He pulled away and fell back clutching his nose with both hands. Still lying down I pulled my right arm across to my left now and flung my elbow back into the guards gut. However instead of the guard doubling over in pain, I was the one that was cursing this time, "DAMN ARMOUR!" I screamed.

I rolled forwards over myself and began running further into the walkway. I then stood up so that I was now on the right of the walkway. The guard charged at me and at the very last second using his own momentum against him I pushed him to the right as I spun to the left behind him. I then grabbed his foot so that he wouldn't fall off the walkway and in one fluid motion I jumped to his right side.

My right foot was on the floor and my left on his neck. I then reached over and grabbed his head and pushed it into the water that was along the sides of the walkway, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep" I repeated but he still struggled, finally the struggling stopped and three large air bubbles floated to the surface, I held his head under for an extra five seconds to make sure he was not faking it but still not enough to kill him.

Once I was sure he was unconscious I flung his large form so that he was now lying on his back. I then ran back towards the door but found my way blocked by the first guard to find the lower half of his nose twisted at a horrible angle. I then cast an illusion of myself standing as the real me crept up the stairs past him. I then watched as he leapt forwards to tackle illusion me to the floor but instead flew right though the illusion.

By the time he realised what had happened it was far too late for him. I slammed the doors shut and cast a simple incantation Loki had taught me to lock the door closed without a key. Normally we simply used it on Thor to lock him in his chambers but desperate times call for desperate measures, and right now I certainly was desperate.

Once I was sure the door was secure I ran, I ran up to the main palace levels, I then ran out the gates and left the palace walls. I ran, my mind completely clear and simply focused on running towards the bifrost. I finally came to the edge of the bridge and in the distance saw both of my brothers fighting like savages in the middle of the golden observatory.

As I ran closer there was a large blast, I immediately stopped and dropped down to my knees and covered my head, I only stayed like that for around fifteen seconds before I stood back up again. But the sight I was met with was truly something else.

What looked to be around one hundred clones of Loki surrounded Thor, as I ran closer there was then a huge blast of lightning that knocked myself and my brother back. I lay around three feet behind my brother and heard him groaning in pain. When I stood up and took a proper look at him I saw that Mjolnir lay on his chest. He screamed as he tried to lift it, his head then spun round to me standing beside him.

"Sister, please" I loudly scoffed at that, "You truly think I would be able to lift that? Neither of us ever will, the person who lifts that has to be worthy in the eyes of Father, that has never applied to either of us and I doubt it ever will" I knelt down by his side and to further prove my point tried to lift the hammer. "See? Useless. Always will be, always has been"

His eyes filled with sympathy, not just for me but for himself too. We never would be good enough for Father. Thor would always trumped us there, then his expression turned to one of anger. He opened his mouth to speak but then instead turned his attention back to Thor. "Look at you, the Mighty Thor, with all your strength, what good does it do you now, huh? Do you hear me brother? There's nothing you can do!"

Clearly the objective was to shut down the bifrost but none of us could get near it, the gears turned in my head looking for an option but there was nothing. The whistling sound of Mjolnir moving into my eldest brother's hand pulled me from my thoughts.

Of corse, destroy the bridge. I stood up with a sombre smile. The objective would be complete, but I knew what this cost for my brother, in truth I hadn't really become attached to anyone on Midguard, but this certainly wasn't the case for Thor and I was not naive enough to hope otherwise.

"What are you doing?" Loki sounded desperate now, he then told Thor, "If you destroy the bridge you'll never see her again!" As if he didn't already know that. Loki then looked at me and grabbed Gungnir and charged at Thor, then I found myself charging at Loki.

As Loki flew into the air to stab Thor, I flew into the air to tackle Loki off target and away from Thor, but neither of us could succeed before Thor brought Mjolnir down to the bridge once more and let off a great explosion.

All of us were blown back and we sailed through the air I grabbed onto Gungnir, simply looking for something to cling to as we plummeted down to our deaths. But suddenly the light feeling in my stomach was stopped, we had stopped. I looked down to see Loki also clinging onto Gungnir, his hands slightly below mine, Thor was holding onto the spear and Father was holding onto Thor's foot.

That was the second time in my life I was relieved to see Father, the first being that day upon Jotunheim which seemed like a century ago despite it simply being last week.

"I could have done it Father! I could have done it! For you, for all of us!" As I looked down at my brother he now did nothing to hide the fact how broken he was. "No Loki" Fathers calculated words came and Loki's face hardened. I sent down a weak smile at him not quite sure what else to do until I realised what he was doing.

"Loki no" Thor had caught on too and then I was left with those stupid instincts of mine, Loki's hand slipped off but I could still reach it. For some reason I let go too, reaching out for Loki, I felt myself begin to
plummet, but before anything could really sink in I was tugged up, Thor's other hand around my foot.

He screamed as Loki fell away from us, his arm out stretched towards us. And then just like that my brother was gone.
