Thorki

A Fatal Accident

There is no trouble from Loki as the guards walk him to the belly of the palace and into the cells. Every now and again Loki would falter in his steps or quiver in their grips, but the guards kept him walking.

All the guards around Asgard have been whispering since Loki's return, just like everyone else. They have heard rumors of what has been going on with him and what had led to him lashing out at Asgard in the first place. It is no surprise to the palace guards what was being said. The AllFather has never been good about hiding his disdain for Loki.

One guard opens the cell door while the other removes Loki's shackles. They both lead Loki into the cell, but before they close the door one says; "We are sorry, our Prince."

Loki just walks further into the cell and sits in the emerald-colored chair. The guards look at each other then close the cell door and return to their posts in a different part of the palace.

Loki hides the pain in his head the best he can. But soon it is too hard to mask. Memory after memory of the AllFather's maltreatment towards him flashes inside his mind.

He stands up from the chair, making it fly back and hit against the cell barrier as he tries to mute the memories and pain. Loki walks all around the cell, with bursts of magic radiating off of him as the pain from him fighting the memories gets more intense. However, it's not until Loki sees a glimpse of his reflection that he loses all control. The icy blue eyes showing Thanos' control over him. That is what makes his magic explode. The yellow barriers ripple like splashing water as his magic collides with them, this makes the siren go off throughout the cells. Then the yellow barrier around Loki seems to break like glass. But as soon as it breaks a guard rushes in to knock Loki out.

. . .

Thor is escorted back to his room, with two guards standing outside of his door. He calls Mjolnir to his hand only to frantically smash everything around him. He then throws Mjolnir at his already broken window causing it to shatter more.

He yells out, hating how much power his Father has over everyone. He throws himself on his bed and stares up at his golden bedroom ceiling. Then his eyes drift to his broken window. 

Thor has thought about sneaking out of the palace many times in the past. In fact, there was one time that Thor successfully snuck out of the palace, but only with the help of Loki. When they were teenagers, Loki had learned how to project himself and had four or five guards chasing after his projection while they snuck out. They went to one of Sif's parties, her father never cared what she did, only that she knew how to fight. When they returned to the palace, they learned quickly that their Father found out what they had done. While Thor had insisted it was his idea, Loki was the one that got in trouble. 

Thor sits up with his hands over his face. 'I just got him back.' Thor thinks to himself.

The door to Thor's room swings open as a guard enters. Thor quickly wipes his face, then stands up from his bed. "Prisoners have escaped from the dungeon, the AllFather has-"

Thor calls Mjolnir back to his hand and quickly runs out of his room. He runs towards the dungeons, worried about what could have happened for prisoners to escape. But the sounds of screams steer him away from that path. 

The scream belongs to Frigga's handmaiden Mary. Thor runs in the direction of Mary's scream and finds himself outside of his Mother's chambers. He stops for a second as he finds Mary's lifeless body leaning against a wall with a chunk of her throat missing, blood still gushing out of it. 

"Let go of me!" Thor's eyes quickly move from Mary's lifeless body to the slightly opened door in front of him as he hears his Mother yell. 

Thor puts Mjolnir against the door and pushes it open to find a Harudheeniskel (dark elf) holding Frigga's own dagger to her throat. The dark elf spots Thor the moment that he walks into the room, and within the next second, Frigga is lying dead on the ground with her own dagger sticking through her neck. 

"NO!" Thor yells, as he sends bolts of lightning into the dark elf, frying it instantly. Thor then rushes to his Mother and falls to his knees beside her. He grabs Frigga and pulls her close to him as tears run down his cheeks.

With Frigga's last gurgling breath, she grabs Thor's hand and telepathically says her last word. 'Loki.'

Moments later Odin comes into the room. "What happened here?" Thor does not answer. But when Odin sees the dark elf that was supposed to be in a cell he turns to a guard. "Why was that thing roaming the palace?" 

Out of the three guards present, only one speaks up. "We do not know, Sir. All of the cells seemed to lose power one after another."

"And which cell did it start with?" Odin asks in a condescending tone.

"The Prince's."

Odin's heart seems to stop. Never in a million years did he think Loki would do something to hurt Frigga. All this time, he had been wrong. "Do you see now Thor, he was never-" Odin turns as he talks, but finds only his wife's body to be found.

. . .

Loki sits up on the bed in his cell, to find five guards surrounding him with their weapons all fixed on him. He moves to lean his back against the cell and puts his hands up.

He opens his mouth to ask a question, but then a bright light comes out of nowhere. When he can finally see again all the guards are on the floor and Thor is standing only inches in front of him. 

"Thor," Loki tries to keep himself from smiling, "what are you doing down here?"

Thor just stares at him for a moment. The question banging around inside his mind doesn't seem to matter at this point. Thor can see that Loki is doing a little better than the last time he saw him, his once crystal eyes are back to the turquoise he came back to Asgard with. So, he reaches his hand out to Loki.

"Come with me, Loki." 

Loki looks all around him. From Thor's hand, to the guards on the floor, to the non-existent barriers, and back to Thor.  He takes a deep breath, then grabs Thor's hand.

(A/N)

I am sorry it has been so long since I last uploaded a chapter. I have recently gone back to school and have had scarce amounts of time to write. 

I hope you picked up on the Thor Dark World reference with the Dark Elf escaping from the cells and killing Frigga, but other than a few choice scenes I can not stand that movie. 

Anyway, I hope you liked the chapter.

All the Love.
