The Asgardian Witch - Series (book 1 - 4)

chapter twenty

Aria was almost at the end of her pregnancy. Her bump was large and uncomfortable. Bringing with her, erratic powers. She was having strange visions now, of her and Loki living down on Midgard. Many times she would see herself there, at Tonys cabin in Georgia, with Loki and her children. Other times she found herself lying in a pool of blood, screaming uncontrollably.

Aria had been clever, she had managed to get a message to Tony, in case they did need somewhere to hide. Because from her visions before she was going to need it.

Aria couldn't sleep, she heard Loki's heavy breathing beside her. They were still staying in the palace until there baby was born. Slowly, she walked through the hallways. It was late, but she realised that there was no guards. Movement in the throne room caught her attention, causing her to stop.

It took Aria a few moments to see what she was looking at.

Sif, standing over the body of Odin.

Aria didn't hesitate, she quickly produced knives in her hands, then threw them, using her magic to propel them through the air. Sif looked up when it was too late to do anything, as they both slammed into her chest, pinning her up against the pillar she had been standing in front of.

Aria ran as quickly as possible, stopping at the body on the floor. She screamed as she dropped to her knees, her hands fumbling as they attempted to stop the blood from pouring. But even she knew, she was too late.

"You killed him" She screamed.

Aria heard footsteps behind her, as the guards all came running in.

"GUARDS" Sif shouted. "MURDERER. SHES KILLED THE KING"

Aria was shaking her head.

The guards all paused at the scene, Aria looked around, finding they were all just starring. She got up from the floor, her hands all blood stained.

"I didnt do this" She whimpered.

"Where is the king?" One of them asked.

Aria looked around, finding Odin was gone, and so was Sif.

Moments later, Frigga and Odin appeared, both seeing the scene of Aria standing over the top of a body.

Aria looked again, finding this time it was Friggas lady. Rose.

Aria gasped, finding herself panicking.

"I didnt do this" She pleaded.

"Come with me Aria" Frigga insisted, escorting her to there private chambers.

Aria was shaking, as Frigga cleaned her hands. Asking her what happened, but she was in shock and found she couldnt speak.

Loki rushed through the doors, pausing when he saw blood on his wifes clothes.

Frigga hurried over to him.

"Shes fine, just in shock" Frigga explained.

"Has she explained what happened?"

"Shes said nothing. I can use magic"

Loki shook his head, going over to her. He touched her hand, then searched her scattered memories. Where he found the visions of her stopping Villi and Sif from killing the king. Sacrificing herself. Then it changed, she has to leave Asgard, as she was wrongly accused of murder. Sif had pointed the finger at her. Rose is dead.

None of this was making any sense to Loki as he tells his mother what he saw, not realising that Aria was hearing everything they were saying.

"It was Lady Sif who had told us about Aria and Rose, that they were arguing" Frigga said.

"Can you make a potion, maybe help Aria to sleep?" He quizzed.

"Certainly, but can you get me a few things from the garden"

Aria heard them both leaving the room. She quickly got up and headed out to where she knew Sif was.

Aria walked into Sifs chambers, finding her standing there kissing a man. As he slowly looked over, Aria could feel his magic. She quickly used hers and hit him with an energy ball, hitting him in the chest and causing him to go be thrown out of the open balcony window.

Sif looked over, seeing him lying there in the middle of the garden.

Dead.

"No" She started sobbing.

"All this time Sif, and you were working for him, how could you?" Aria asked.

Sif grabbed her sword, ready to fight her, but she was quicker. She tied her up with her magic.

"You wont win Sif" sobbed.

"I already have" Aria replied.

"If you kill me, they will execute you"

Aria smirked.

"Good job I have plans in place"

They looked at each other, she knew Sif was thinking Aria didnt have the guts to do this She went to scream, but Aria quickly slit her throat with the dagger that she held in her hand. Watching as she slowly died. Before she quickly summoned the Bifrost for herself.

Loki stepped out into the garden as he heard and felt his magic. Seconds later, Villi landed in the middle of the grass.

Dead.

He looked up at the palace, wondering how this had happened. Then he quickly connected his mind to Aria. He could feel everything and sense everything of what she was about to do. And what it would cost her.

Loki dropped everything and ran as fast as he could up to Sifs room. Thor ran with him, when he saw his panicked face.

Eventually they burst through to the doors, finding Sif lying dead in the middle and the Bifrost just vanishing before there eyes.

"ARIA" Loki screamed.

Thor couldnt believe what he was seeing.

"Why would she do this?"

"Because she was working with Villi. Hes dead in mothers herb garden Thor" Loki hurried out of the room.

He quickly headed to tell his mother what had happened, then find Heimdall, to help find his wife. He could feel his daughter was on her way.
