If Fantasies Fell From the Sky

Chapter One

I was tending to my garden in the afternoon since it was a hot day in Orion, Iowa. I continued to do the same process over and over weed, feed, then water the plants. My garden is literally the closest thing to family I have considering my parents got a divorce, Mom moved to LA and Dad going to a small fishing town in Maine.

Weed, feed, water. Weed, feed, water. I thought to myself, after one garden bed I went onto the next one, by the time I got to the last one, it was dark outside with the light of the stars, I put all the weeds into the bag I had in the shed, plant feed in the shed, and hose hanging up behind the house. All of the sudden there's a bright light behind me, I turn around to see some kind of design in the sky before a man is forcefully thrown out of it, groaning as he hits the ground.

Oh my. How does that happen? What happened?

I ran down the small slope in front of me.

"Are you okay? Well, of course you aren't, you fell out of the sky," I took a deep breathe, "are you okay?"

"Away midgardian fool!" The man yelled in a British accent.

"No, I asked you a question, now you answer."

He sighed. "I am lovely."

"You just fell out of the sky, how are you fine?" I squeaked.

He chuckled, dusting himself off as he stood.

In the darkness you could only see an outline of him, he was pale, with dark hair and dark clothes.

"Let's get you inside, I don't believe you are fine after that fall."

"Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?"

"A person trying to make sure you're okay, who do you think you are?"

"I know I am Loki, of Asgard and who are you?" He snapped.

My eyes grew large, "Loki?"

"Oh, so you've heard of my brilliance?"

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms, "You don't happen to be blue, are you?"

He gasped, "How did you know?" He stepped closer, not breaking eye contact.

"Loki, it's me. Olive, you know the girl who found you in the woods," his eyes flickered with recognition, "where did you go? What happened to you?"

He sighs and rubs his face, "My father discovered that I was sneaking out to Earth to see you. He had assigned guards to watch me everyday."

We stood there for a while, no one said anything. I lead him to the bathroom to tend to his "wounds."

"Sit down," I point to my toilet.

He sits, he had raven hair and an emerald outfit with gold trimming and eyes to match it. On his lip and right eyebrow there were cuts. I grab my cleaning supplies from the medicine cabinet and clean my hands.

"This might sting," I warn as I wet a paper towel at the sink, I slowly dab the wound on his lip first, he hissed in pain grabbing my wrist, "I told you it's going to hurt, but if I don't do this it could get infected." He let go of my wrist hesitantly and I continued.

"So Loki, why did you fall out of the sky? Or how?" I say pouring a little peroxide on a cotton ball.

"My brother," he mumbled as I grabbed his chin before he moved back and put the cotton ball on his lip,"Thor, he and I only had a little fight." As I dressed his cuts he tells me how his brother and him never really get along.

As we walk out of the bathroom the time is 9:46, "So is this your disguise?" I gesture towards all of him.

"Yes, isn't nicer than the blue person that you were introduced to? I learned how to disguise myself."

"Honestly, I thought you were imaginary because you never came back after that, so I didn't know if you were gonna be blue or anything," he's silent, we stand there for a few minutes. I decide to break the silent,"let me show you where you're staying tonight." I lead him to the small guest room next to my computer room, "I know it's not much, but I'm the only living in this house. If you're cold blankets are in there, if you're hot the fan is there just pull the string and it will come on, there should be pajamas from when my brother forgot to take them with him in the dresser in the closet and if there's anything else, knock on my door. I have work tomorrow so I'll be getting up early."

I smiled as I walk out of the room to do my nightly routine and I climbed in bed after changing into pajamas.

In the morning, I woke up to see Loki was not out of bed. As soon as I got up I made my coffee and started to watch the news where there was a bunch of accidents and a few bombings or shootings in the world.

After eating I get up to get dressed and brush my teeth, I decide to write Loki a note to say that I was off to work and not to worry that I will come back home in the afternoon.
