Gods and Mortals

Chapter 3

Sally

I needed to know, what this thing was. I let my instincts take over a little and got in. The smell of wolf was in the air and the growl went louder, the more I neared myself to it. There were two emerald eyes with many golden sparkles in them, shining slightly in the shadows. I heard Loki calling me again, but ignored him. This was more interesting.

The eyes watched my every movement and went higher, as it got up. The eyes went higher and higher, soon they were about two times higher than I was tall. It came closer and I now recognized that it was a giant wolf. The wolf looked at me, deeply growling. I smirked innocently > the wolf stopped growling and looked at me now kinda curiously.

> I heard Loki saying angrily, as he got in the dark part as well. I rolled my eyes at him, muttering << Drama queen...>> and turned with a roll of my eyes. I heard the wolf yelp and before I could react, he trampled me onto the ground as he ran toward Loki. I heard him gasping, as the wolf pinned him onto the ground and licking all over his face.

It was a deep, melodious laugh interspersed with many small melodies.

I silently got up and kept my distance.

The wolf, Fenrir, finally let go of Loki and sat down in front of him. I watched them curiously, standing under one of the trees like a statue. I thought smirking.

Loki got up as well, all over with the wolf's slobber. I can't but chuckle slightly. His emerald eyes darted over to me and a devilish smile appeared on his face, as he said > Wait... What!? I looked at him shocked and quickly climbed up the tree, I was standing under. Unfortunately, Fenrir picked me of it and started to 'greet' me his own way. I tried to get free, but the giant wolf pinned me, like Loki before, onto the ground. I snorted loudly and clawed out for his nose, not reaching it. I heard Loki's loud laughing and finally managed to squirm myself free of Fenrir's fondling. I growled, looking down disgusted at me, my arms half lifted and covered in slobber. Loki was still laughing and I made a grimace, shaking of the slobber. Loki helped himself with magic and widely grinned mischievously at me. I rolled my eyes and continued shaking the slobber of and of course in Loki's direction. He let out a yawn and snarled > I thought about his words, avoiding eye contact. I asked myself. > I winced a bit, as I realized, that I had said my thoughts out loud. I felt, how I got red and blushed a bit. He chuckled sarcastically, muttering something about 'pathetic mortals'. I rolled my eyes again and looked to Fenrir. He only let out a small sigh, as if he wanted to say .

Loki

This mortal is driving me insane. Upset I went back to the glade, huffing out loudly. I heard her slightly chuckle, resisted to look back though. I heard a slumping noise and her jokingly whining << Fenrir, your squeezing me >> I was surprised, she was not afraid of him. I turned around and got back, calmer than before. I found Fenrir laying on the ground and a red haired something with arms popping out through his black fur. She had buried her face onto the ground, giggling. I chuckled. It just looked so hilarious. They looked up to me. Sally smiling widely and Fenrir's eyes sparkled in amusement. > She asked shoring her head on her now crossed arms. I slightly shook my head as I replied << I thought we were up to get to my cabbage >> Fenrir whined a little > I told him. His tail began to wag hardly and he got on his paws, releasing Sally. She stood up and peened the dirt off. I turned and led the way. I smirked, as I heard Fenrir's paws lumber over the ground. The mortal moved completely silent. I quickly watched back, seeing her besides my wolf-like son. How was she able to be that quiet while walking? She defiantly could not be a real mortal.

We came to the small glade, where my cabbage stood. It looked old ... untouched for many years ...

There was only one problem. Thor stood in front of my house, waiting stubborn for me. Sally seemed to be foolish enough to just walk further, out of the forests hiding.

Sally

I hadn't realized, Loki and Fenrir freezing and just walked onto the glade. Too late I saw the blonde jerk, Thor I think. He was standing in front of a small wooden building, looking to the other side. I froze and shortly after, I was pulled back, by my shoulders. In the copse I angrily turned around to face Loki.

I just wanted to start to rant and rave, as he shut my mouth, covering it with his hand. He put his skinny, long finger on his thin lips and then slightly nodded to Thor.

<I speak when I want to!! > I yelled in thoughts and Loki slightly winced, as he'd had heard my thoughts.

He took his hand slowly away. I'd like to yell at him to not touch one more time, but instead of I only gave him a dirty look which he answered with an annoyed gaze. I wanted to slap him so damn hard right now, but unfortunately he's more powerful than I am, not to mention he's a GOD.

I heard footsteps taken behind of me and quickly watched back. I then silently walked to the next tree, which I meant to scale. I felt my hand been taken by a surprisingly cold one and softly been pulled away from the tree. Before I turned, I heard him saying > But he hasn't said it out loud. I heard his voice loud and clearly in my head. Like thoughts. I remembered him wincing earlier, right after I yelled in thoughts. Did this mean, he was reading my mind?! I turned around hectically. His expression was blank, only his extremely vivid emerald eyes watched me closely with an entertained look. I thought for a moment about what to do now. As I got an idea, I couldn't help but grin a little.

I concentrated on Loki and thought, what I was up to say. An amused grin appeared on his face and before I knew what happened, I was in his arms. My eyes widened. A GOD was hugging ME! An unworthy mortal girl. He silently muttered something in a language, I've never heard. His cool breath slightly running over my skin. I didn't know why, but somehow it just felt right.

Loki

I felt kind of uncomfortable, being so close to her. Luckily, she did not move, so it was easier for me to execute the spell. As I finished the spell, I just hoped it would work. Behind us I heard Fenrir growling in deep anger. Was it not Thor, who locked him up so long? I used my magic to send him my thoughts I heard his rough, deep voice in my head, as he answered. He jumped over us and out onto the glade. There was a surprised scream not in fear tough. > Thor yelled >

I thought in anger, but did not move though. It sounded, like they were fighting. It was veering away tough, like Fenrir was leading him away from my house. Hopefully he will not be locked again.

As soon they were out of ear shot, I let go of Sally and took a few steps back. All I knew about her, was, that she is very furious, if she would like to be. She blinked a few times and tautened her shoulders then. She turned around in sudden movement and went into the deeper woods.
