Loki's Child

Chapter 10: Esmond

*HARPER'S POV*

My eyes slowly fluttered open, I was in a soft bed, the covers were a redy- pink the air was cool and I was in some for of a bed room- A child's bed room. I carefully climbed out of the bed an looked around the room, pictures were nailed to the wall, a load of ink and quills were sat on a small desk and in the corner of the room was a chest over flowing with musical instruments. I opened the wardrobe and looked at the small dresses that were hung up, all different colour's but all silky soft.

Who's room is this?

*KNOCK**KNOCK*

Someone knocked the door softly.

I hesitated for a moment just a moment then I looked to the balcony; BINGO!

I ran to the balcony and climbed out of it and changed into a small blue bird, I flew up to the top of the palace. I changed back into myself, I gasped at the sight before me... Asgard was a big place, beautiful but there was no way of leaving, I was trapped her, alone, afraid and helpless.

"I have no one," I whispered to myself.

"Princess Hela you are a hard lady to find," I voice said from behind me.

I jumped and span round, I came face to face with a rather handsome boy; He looked around my age, he had dark hair, brown doe eyes and he was tanned.

"Who are you?" I demanded.

"Princess Hela I am Esmond, I have been sent by the All father to protect you and help you," He told me softly. "The All Father and the Prince's wish to see you soon."

I sighed. "Do you know why I am here?" I asked. "Please I have so many unanswered questions!"

Esmond sighed. "Princess I only know that you are in line for the throne, that is all," He told me. "Please let me escort you back so you can prepare to see the All Father again."

"Fine!" I mumbled.

I followed Esmond off the roof and into the palace, as we walked non of the maids would make eye contact with me and all the guards bowed when I walked past... This was too weird!

Esmond led me back to the room I was once in. "Who's room am I in?" I asked looking at the pictures of a small girl and a man.

"Princess this is your room," Esmond told me and handed me a small Harp. "Do you not remember?"

I frowned and held the Harp in my hand. "No, not really," I told him honestly and sat on the edge of the bed. "Why do you call me princess?"

"You are the Princess of Asgard and Jotunheim," Esmond told me. "I have to address you like that."

I press my lips into a thin line. "Okay, I order you to call me Harper," I ordered him.

Esmond smiled. "As you wish Harper," He told me and bowed slightly.

*KNOCK**KNOCK*
Someone tapped the door. Esmond opened the door to reveal a maid holding a dress.

"A dress for Princess Hela," The maid said and bowed at me. "Would you like some help?"

"Yes," I told her.

Esmond left and stood outside, I slipped out of my clothes and changed into the dress, it was MASSIVE! The maid pulled the corset tight, and placed a tiara on my head... Great.

I looked at my reflection, the dress was way to puffy and way to long. I liked the top but the bottom was horrible!

"Is that all Princess Hela?" The maid asked.
