Chapter 24

I DON'T OWN GIF

Ivy open the door and walk in bedroom. Loki is laying on couch. She frown. "What are you doing?" She ask confuse. "I will sleep in here." He answer without looking at her. "Don't be ridiculous." She scoff while walking next to couch. "You can sleep in bed too. It is big enough for both of us. I won't bite." She tease him and smirk to him while leaning on backrest. He roll his eyes before looking at her. He frown. "Is that my shirt?" She chuckle and nod. "It is either this or naked." She chuckle and lean closer. "Which one you prefer Your Highness?" She purr with low voice. She see how he swallow and blink slowly her eyes. 

Then Loki smirk seductively. "Well... If I can choose I would prefer naked, little fairy." He answer huskily. Ivy feel how light blush come to her cheeks and chuckle to hide it. "Unfortunately you can't choose this time prince." She tease and pull back. "Come on, I want to get some sleep before morning." She usher him. He sigh and stand up. She lean to grab his hand and pull him after her toward bed. She let go and walk to slip under blanket on her side. She feel how he come in bed too. She use her magic to shut the lights and pull curtains down. "Good night Loki." She say in darkness. "Night little fairy." He mumble. She sigh to nickname and close her eyes. It didn't take long before sleep come.

Ivy stir awake for quiet whimpers and someone tossing around on other side of bed. She rub her eyes and move to sitting position. She blink couple times before her eyes adjust to darkness. She gasp when she see Loki. He has sweat all over him, his face is crunched like in pain and quiet whimpers come from his lips. "Loki!" She say and grab his shoulder. He yank himself from her hand with pained whimper. She get even more worried and move to kneel next to him. "Loki!" She say again and grab his shoulders. "Loki! Wake up!" She command while shaking him gently. Finally his eyes open. She sigh in relief. Then he move fast. 

Next thing Ivy realize is that she is on her back, Loki straddling her. He has managed to grab her hands above her head by wrists while his other hand hold dagger in her throat. He sneer dangerously to her. She feel panic and fear swim inside her. Then she notice color of his eyes, they are bright blue instead of usual emerald green. "Loki?" She ask quietly. His grip tighten around her wrists and dagger push harder against her skin. "Don't come in my way mortal!" He growl. She swallow and force her body limp. "I said I will trust you and I will." She whisper, close her eyes and lean her head back, showing her throat better. She feel how blade cut her skin a little and blood slide down her neck. 

"Ivy?" Ivy hear Loki ask quietly after a moment. "Shit!" Then he jump away from her. She open her eyes and touch gently the cut. It is small and already healing. She look around and see Loki standing on other side of room, staring the bloody dagger on his hand. "Loki?" She ask worried and move to stand on floor. He raise his head to look at her. She slowly approach him, going around bed. "Don't come near me!" He order and throw the dagger on floor. She didn't listen. She continue to walk slowly while showing her hands, that they are empty. "Stop!" He growl and back away. She frown and stop next to dagger. He grab his head on hands. She take the dagger and lick away little trail of blood from it. "It is in good condition." She murmur quietly while examining the dagger. 

Ivy turn to look at Loki, who has backed away as far as he can. "Loki?" She ask softly and start to approach again. "Stay back!" He command with thick voice. She shake her head and continue her walk. "STAY BACK!" He yell and finally look at her. She see shame, fear and self-hatred in his eyes. She smile gently to him and stop in arms reach front of him. "Everything is fine Loki. I am okay." She assure. "Don't.." He try to stop her weakly. She hold her smile and reach toward his hand. She grab it and pull it down, then she pull back other one. "Everything is fine Loki." She assure him again and squeeze his hand. He yank his hand away and sneer. "I almost killed you! How you can be so calm?!" He ask angrily. "You didn't kill me." "I hold that dagger on your throat!" He spat voice full of self-hatred. 

Ivy sigh and raise the dagger's blade on her throat. "If you feel the need to kill me then go ahead. I won't resist." She say and open her fist, to show hilt to Loki. He stare at her. "Go on, I give you free hands." She usher. He start to shake his head and try to back away. She throw the dagger on bed next to them. "You didn't kill me Loki. I am here, I am fine." She tell softly. He didn't answer and face down. She pout and make decision. She quickly move to hug him tightly. She feel how he stiffen but ignore it and snuggle her head against side of his chin. "I'm fine Loki, it was a nightmare." She murmur. Slowly he start to relax and finally hug her back. He hide his face in her hair. They stay in each others embrace for long time. 

"I was back with Chitauries." Loki suddenly admit quietly. She didn't answer, just squeeze him quickly. "They used that scepter on me.... I had to attack Midgard, to obey them." He mumble in her hair. She sense that they did much more to him but didn't push. "I'm sorry Loki." She mumble against his chest. He didn't answer. After a moment he pull back and push her gently further from him. She frown confuse and worried. "You really shouldn't trust me little fairy, I am a monster." He say sadly. "You're not." He snort sadly. "I am." He answer and drop his hands from her shoulders. "Loki, yo-" He put his index finger over her lips to shut her. She obey, for once. "I am." He say lastly while taking his finger from her lips and drop Odin's spell. She gasp, his skin has turn blue.
