Helena | Loki's Daughter |

The hatch

I immediately shot up in bed. I climbed out of bed and ran over to the window. It had been open to leave some fresh air into the muffy bedroom. I closed and locked it. Then I also pulled the curtains shut. I ran over to the door and pulled it open. Nearly pulling it out of the handles. Steve was still sitting on the couch watching TV. He looked up a bit surprised as I ran to the front door and locked it with the keys that were laying on the table.

"What are you doing?" He asked confused. I walked over to the next window and closed the curtains.

"My dad told me that it isn't safe here" I quickly said and closed another window.

"Loki is here?" He asked and walked to the bedroom.

"No not here" I said "He is on his way"

"Helena" He spoke and grabbed my arm. "You dreamed it. He wasn't actually there"

"It was not a dream. It was real" I answered sharply and tried getting my arm back. But he didn't budge.

"Can you calm down for a second? Please" He said and now also held my other arm.

"Didn't you hear me it's not safe here!" I shouted and tried wiggling my wrists loose.

"Helena. Tell me what happened" He whispered. I groaned in frustration and told him everything. He was quiet for a second and then sighed.

"It was a dream" He stated.

"Would it hurt to just lock everything and lay low?" I said trying to calm myself down. He just let go of my wrists and nodded me to go on. I locked the last window and closed the curtains. I took a few steps back and was gonna say something to Steve when I heared something. And I saw that steve did too. It was not a loud sound but we knew it was meant for us to hear. It was a small rock thrown against a window.

Steve quietly grabbed my arm and walked passed me into the small hallway that let to the bedroom. the floor was carpet but steve pulled it loose. Underneath it was a hatch. I tried opening it quietly as I heard another sound from outside. This time closer. My hands started to shake and I couldn't get it to open. Steve put one of his hands over mine and looked at me. He slowly removed my hand and got it open himself. It was a small space down there. Hardly high enough to stand in. I lowered myself in it and Steve came after me. He pulled the carpet back over us and then closed the hatch. We were consumed by darkness.

The front door opened with a loud bang.

I was terrified. The darkness all around me and the small cramped space reminded me of the ship. I pressed myself closer to Steve and put my head on his chest. I heard his heart pound loudly and fast. My arms found their way around him and I hugged him closely. He put his arms around my waist. They started talking above us but the sounds were too muffled to hear.

"Shh" Steve whispered in my ear. He was quiet for a few seconds and I felt him push me back a bit. Then I felt two lips softly pressed against mine.

WHAT.

Not really knowing what to do, since this was my first kiss ever. I mimiced his actions. His hand travelled down to my ass as I wrapped my hands around his neck. I smiled against his lips and pulled him a little bit closer.

What the fickity fuck am I doing?

Lets just roll with it.

Steve pushed me back a bit until my back hit the wall. I felt something stick out and reached for it. A door handle? I pulled myself away from him and turned around. I grabbed Steves hand and laid it on the door handle to let him know what I was thinking.

Upstairs someone started stamping on the floor. It now only became a matter of time before they found us. Steve opened the door within a second and closed it after we went through. We walked through a dark underground hallway.

"Run" Steve whispered and started jogging, which was running speed for me. I started seeing a light that became bigger and bigger until finally we reached the end of the tunnel. I heard in a distance the sound of the hatch opening. We walked into the woods and without a word headed away from the house.

I heard a sound next to me and before I could do anything I felt a cold hand go over my mouth to keep me from screaming. Thankfully Steve wasn't far ahead from me and turned around. His expression changed from surprised to pissed off.

"What are you doing here?" He hissed.

"Saving my daughter" Loki answered.
