Hey, just to clarify, Loki is not human. He's just living as a human for the time being. :) Thanks for reading, and commenting. I hope you like this chapter.

No one's POV

Loki got ready, throwing on some clothes, (he favored darker clothes, almost being able to pass for goth.) and fixing up his hair a bit. He checked the clock. 7:24. He had time. He sat on his couch, sprawling out a bit, and Mika lept to his lap. He smiled softly at her, and stroked along the lean back of his little kitten. She purred and leaned into his touch. So much love he thought to himself. From one little creature, for nothing in return but a home and food. He picked her up, carrying her to his kitchen. He set her down on the counter, and opened the pantry, pulling out a bag of treats he had bought earlier that day. he grabbed one, and held it out to her in his palm with a gentle look on his face. She stalked up to him, and sniffed it, gobbling it up, then purring as she nuzzled into his hand. He chuckled softly, and fed her another one.

?? POV

I watched him, with a smile on my lips. He seemed happy, who would have thought Loki would be one to get a pet? I shook my head at him. It indeed was an impressive bit of magic he worked here, wiping everyone memory, records, everything. But, he had forgotten a few little details, One: me. No bit of magic could hide anything from me. And two: well, I'll let you figure that one out on your own.

Loki's POV

I walked the hall until i found the source of the blaring music. I rang the bell, and Liela answered, smiling widely. She gestured for me to come in. Right, i think sarcastically 'little' party. There were tons of people, I wouldn't be surprised if she had invited the entire building. Somewhere in the back f my mind I realized Liela was talking to me, but I couldn't here anything she was saying. I look back to her, and realize she was waiting for an answer. i open my mouth to try and respond, but my lips just curl into a smile, and I give a chuckle. "I'm sorry?" She laughs, and gestures for me to follow her. I hesitantly trail behind her, weaving through the mass of people, all shouting and laughing. She leads me out to the balcony, where it's significantly quieter, I turn to her, not nearing the edge. "what was that?" I ask again. She rolls her eyes with a soft smile. "I just asked how your day had been." I totally didn't blush. Nope. Except for the fact that I did. "it's gone fairly well, I just returned from a visit to some relatives in England." I say, giving my cover story . Her eyes seemed to light up. "really? I've always wanted to go but. well, you know, money issues." She said with a shrug. "what's it like? Where do they live?" I shrug. "wet. rainy, but beautiful." I say, literally reciting it from something I had read 'online'. "and they live in Westminster." She nodded, sitting in one of the lawn chairs. Identical, I realized, to the one's atop the Stark Tower. I sat as well, "what about you? How have you been?" She gave a casual shrug. "Fine, same old same old ya know?" I nodded, taking a moment to really look at her. She had Blond hair, and small, somewhat awkward features, but they suited her. She was thin, and somewhat short, but again, it suited her. "So..are you from there? Westminster I mean? I couldn't help but notice the accent." Liela says, with a slight blush crawling up her cheeks. I fought the smirk, and replied. "yes, I moved here a few years ago." I continue with my cover up. She seems even more captivated. by this /fact/.

Lilly POV

I worked my way around my small house, picking up the random pieces of glass that were strewn across my floor. I felt tear stream my face as i saw the broken necklace laying on the floor. I picked it up, holding it close. If I was honest, I could't remember when I had gotten it, or who gave it to me, but it was special. Just another thing destroyed.
