Cursed [Loki fanfiction]

17. Odin

Looking over Loki's shoulder, Crypt froze.

Odin landed on the nose of the plane and began to run towards her with his staff. He was going to kill Loki and kill her at the same time. Crypt pulled Loki closer to her holding his head to her shoulder. She knew what she had to do.

"I'm sorry" she whispered in his ear.

Loki tensed. "What is going on?"

"I love you"

Crypt pushed Loki as hard as she could directing him off to the right. Off the edge of the plane.

Time seemed to slow as Loki fell but in a blink Thor had Loki in his arms and flew to the jet. Odin was closing in and Crypt's strength was almost gone.

Odin leapt holding his staff, ready to strike. She felt something weighty in her hand and struck Odin across the face with it. Mjolnir.

Odin fell backwards and landed heavily on the shell, dropping his staff and it fell off the plane. Mjolnir flew from her hand and returned to Thor who was looking at her in shock whilst restraining Loki in tight grip. Crypt didn't have time to think about what Thor was doing as Odin got to his feet.

Crypt was reminded of her exhaustion as a series of punches came at her and she sloppily dodged them, her muscles refusing to work. The plane started to fall and spiral as it no longer had a wing and a tail.

Odin grabbed her jacket and began to punch Crypt in the face repeatedly as her muscles gave up on defending her.

Blood started to trickle down her face from her temple and Odin picked her up and held her in front of his face.

"I will kill the last Scinlæce and wipe you abominations from the universe" he spat.

Crypt's head lolled and her eyes landed on the jet with the back still open. Loki was trying to wriggle out of Thor's hold and Nat was standing beside them trying to calm Loki down. Crypt's head lolled back towards Odin and she closed her eyes.

A figure of Frigga appeared in her mind. "Don't give in Crypt. You are stronger and more powerful than any Scinlæce before you."

Frigga knelt down towards her mind's eye.

"Loki needs you more than you know". Frigga disappeared.

Crypt opened her eyes and stared Odin in the face. "I will finish the job I started 1000 years ago!" he screamed as he bought a ceremonial dagger up and aimed it at her.

"You will not kill the last Scinlæce" she said firmly.

Rage contorted Odin's features and began to bring down the knife.

The only way to live, the only way to win, was to use her magic, her own blood.

"Who is in control?"

Crypt felt her blood gather in her chest and she let it go. A shard of blood erupted from her chest and when through Odin coming out the other side. More and more blood spears erupted from her torso and tore through Odin. She could have sworn she heard someone scream.

He dropped her jacket and she stood on the plane. The life faded from Odin's eye and the shards of blood broke off leaving him to fall off the plane.

All magic that had been keeping Crypt up left and she crumpled to the shell, her jacket snagged on a tear in the metal so she was not blown off the plane as it spiralled towards the ground. She stared at the sky which was still a stormy grey and closed her now blue eyes.
