Fear

Notes:

New chapter! It's the longest so far, but I realized I don't have to make super long chapters. It might as easily bore you O.o

This chapter is pretty uneventful, sorry about that. I need to get all these things told so I can start the real thing.

God, I know exactly where to go, just not how xS

Your heart was now beating at a dangerous speed. Had Loki just said that?

I think my heart stopped when I saw you.

"You're so beautiful. Just like your mother", Loki said. You looked at him in disbelief, eyebrows higher than the towers of the palace that towered in the distance.

You were going to tell him that you didn't believe him, but you were interrupted by the sound of hooves on sand. Loki turned his head and his eyes widened.

"Come here", he said sharply, and you obeyed without thinking. Loki swung himself onto his horse and pulled you up, then turned the horse and clicked with his tongue three times rapidly. The horse immediately started galloping and you almost fell off. In shock, you held tightly on to Loki's body.

You turned your head and saw a single horse with a large man upon it following you. The man had long, blonde hair and extremely much muscle. He urged his horse on and Loki grunted as he heard the man's voice calling his name.

Loki turned the horse and you now rode up the hill. Loki muttered something about not being fast enough and told you to stay on the horse before swiftly jumping down and standing in front of you.

The big man rode up the hill and came to a halt before you. His bright, blue eyes scanned you, and you felt almost like he could see into your heart. You looked down into the mane of the horse, unable to speak.

"Brother", began the man.

"What is it?" asked Loki with a worn voice, like he had had to put up with this throughout his entire life. It hit you that he probably had, since the big man seemed to be his brother.

Wait. Brother? Was this... Thor? Loki's brother, Odin's son? They looked so different!

"Why did you run from me?"

"I did not run, I rode."

You held back a giggle.

"Well then, why did you ride from me?"

"Because I do not want to hear what you are going to tell me."

"And what am I going to tell you?"

"That I should not do what I'm about to do, that it is against orders, that I should not act like a fool, that-"

"Brother, I would not keep you from what you think is right. I just wonder why?"

He emphasized the last word like Loki had hurt him. It hit you that maybe he had.

"I will not further discuss this with you", Loki said, and with that he turned around, swung himself onto the horse in front of you and clicked his tongue.

The horse swiftly started moving along the top of the hill at a fast pace. You were about to ask the prince about the meeting with his brother when he answered your question for you.

"I'm sorry about that, my dear, but I just cannot understand why my brother continuously needs to tell me what to do he has done so since we were very little. I have many times acted only to irritate him, because he is so irritatingly right. He always chooses the right thing. He knows you are one of the villagers as well. He thinks I'm not going to get away with this."
