Chapter 17

Loki helped Serena to stand up, her knees were still very weak from the blood lost. Serena leaned up against Loki for support. Serena tells Loki, "I don't think I can do this. I'm still too weak." Loki responded, "Ok Serena. I'll put you back in bed." Loki picked Serena up in his strong arms and lay her down on the bed. Serena apologized, "I'm sorry." Loki said, "That's ok, Serena, at least you try to stand." Serena answered, "I really want to go and see the All Father. So, we can talk to him, but I just can't stand on my feet yet." Loki replied, "That's ok, darling. I understand. We'll just wait a little while longer." Serena questioned, "Darling?" Loki answered, "Yes that's what I said, darling." Serena replied, "I'm not used to these sweet names. No one has ever called me that before." Loki said, "I'll make sure I call you those names often, sweetheart." Serena just gave a shy smile. Loki loved Serena's shyness; it was a big turn on for him. It just made him want her even more.

A few more days after Loki's visit, Serena started to get her strength back. She began to stand on her feet and to walk to a chair to sit for a short time. One day Loki came by to see Serena. Loki walked in the room where Serena was sitting. Loki exclaimed, "You're sitting up! That's great! How are you feeling today?" Serena answered, "I feel a lot better than I did. I'm still a little weak but not like before." Loki said, "I'm glad to see you sitting up. Can you stand or walk a lot?" Serena replied, "I stood and walked for a little while but not long." Loki asked Serena, "Do you feel like going to see my father?" Serena answered, "I think I can make it to the throne room and stand long enough to hear his decision." Loki tells Serena, "If you feel like you can't make it, then let me know and I will carry you or hold you up. Deal?" Serena replied, with a big smile, "Deal." Loki told Serena, "I will ask my mother to set up a time to see my father. Is that ok with you?" Serena answered, "Yes that's fine with me." Loki visits with Serena a little while longer than he left to go to see his mother.
