The Enchantress

7 - Unveiling

 Once you'd recovered a few minutes after the whole thing went down, Aurora came running into the forest.

"Maleficent!' She spotted the broken vines, and the injured creatures.

"No, am I too late!?" She ran to you, looking at the bruises and dirt on your body.

"Too late for what Beastie?" You asked calmly.

"Philip's mother. She doesn't care for Maleficent, she's done something. Philip said it was a spell of some sort that would make her go mad."

Oh.

"Yeah, then you're a little late, but it's under control now." You realized something, "Wait, how long does the spell last?"

"Not long. He said it was only temporary, but still dangerous for her and the Moors." She looked around, "What happened?"

"Not important." You waved her off.

~~~

You'd made up with your sister, having Aurora and Diaval by your side explaining anything you or her missed.

She allowed Loki to come and go, without sneaking about. As long as he was kind to you, and didn't hurt you. He got that earful several times from her, Diaval, and the Aurora, and probably all the creatures in the kingdom. The ones he could understand at least.

By this time, it was the end of the day again, and you found yourself not wanting to leave his side. As per usual.

"Are you sure you don't need anything? Healing wise? I can get you some-"

"Loki." You said smiling.

"Y/n." He replied, knowing that look.

"I'm fine." You assured him. "Although..." You gave him another look.

" I can't stay darling. My mother will have missing posters plastered on every surface imaginable."

"I know, but I'll miss you." You pecked his cheek and he walked into the cave, but not after returning the gesture at least ten times leaving you a giggling mess.

(Loki POV)

"Loki! I've been worried sick. There was a massive conflict today. We heard about it and saw it from the villages but we couldn't find you and I was so worried you'd gotten yourself into trouble." Frigga spoke into his shoulder, scared to death.

"Mother, I'm fine. It was just a coincidence that I was gone then. I hadn't even noticed." He tried to assure her.

"But it happened earlier this morning, and then there was nothing, and there was no you so I figured-" She spiraled.

"Mother, I was nowhere near the Moors when it happened." She immediately relaxed.

"Thought so." She rolled her eyes, and grabbed his wrists to drag him into the palace.

"What did I do?" He asked, slightly panicked.

"I never said anything about the Moors." She said simply.

Damn.

She pushed him into an empty storage closet and turned the light overhead on.

"I have multiple questions for you young man."

"Before we start, can I just say I'm sorry for lying, and I'm sorry for not telling you-"

"Nope. Anyways, what were you doing in the Moors, and what happened there. Also, where is that girl Y/n. I've been around town all day looking for you, and coincidentally, I couldn't find her either. And so help me Gods if you somehow dragged that sweet girl into this-"
