Chapter 14
In a few hours they could see the small village in the distance, Eira started to run but loki caught her by the arm.
"Eira" he started "please don't do this" he said to her
"Do what? Go home?" She asked a little confused "No, please don't take this cure of yours. I can help you learn to control it on your own" she rolled her eyes a little bit "Loki, I've been trying to control it for my whole life. I just can't" she told him firmly "Could your sister control her power? You said she had power like yours" "Well yes but-" she was cut off my loki "Then it is possible for you to learn, and I can help you" she was now starting to get irritated "Listen, I've been trying to control this for my whole life and I just can't. Okay? I can't and I'll never be able to." She continued walking, now irritated at loki. He followed behind her. He caught up to her and up this hand on her shoulder "I'm sorry" he said quietly "I just wanted to help you".
"I know. It's just...." She let out a sigh "I know it's easy for you to come and tell me how you can help me and everything will be great, but you've had help your whole life, you don't know what it's like to grow up alone. But I am, I'm alone, there is no reason for me to try to get this, I know how bad that sounds, but I have enough problems without all this" he only nodded in response "Maybe you don't have to be alone though" he said to her
"What?" She questioned "Well I have to disappear, maybe I could stay with you?" He asked. She raised one eyebrow at his suggestion "You want to stay with me?" She asked "Oh- That's not what I meant. I didn't mean stay /with/ you, I just meant- you said no one else lived in the village, maybe I could take one of the nearby homes" she smiled "Yeah I'd like that" she said. "But I'm still taking the cure, you know that right?" He sighed and nodded "yes, I understand" he said to her. They walked on and all loki could think about was how to talk her out of it, he did not want her to suppress her power anymore, he knew she could learn if she tried. In a short time they arrived at the village.
"So, where are you?" He asked.
"Just follow me" she said with a smile as she went to one of the houses.
"Well, This is it" she said as they came to the house "why don't you come in and I'll make us something to eat. We haven't had a decent meal in three days" she offered.
"Thank you" he said as she went in and he followed. It was a tiny little house, the kitchen was so small that Loki could hardly believe anyone could live there. Eira opened a cabinet and started to prepare a meal. Loki was just walking around and looking at things, he opened a door to a small room that was her bedroom, which was a very small room with a bed and a place to keep her clothes. There was also a small table next to the bed with some books and a small bottle on it. He picked up the small bottle and went out to where Eira was.
"Is this the cure?" He asked as he held it up.
"Yes that's it" she said as she turned to look at him.
"Is this all there is?" He asked. She nodded.
"Yes, but a small bit will last a long time. What's in there will probably, and hopefully last for the rest of my life" she told him as she went back to her cooking.
"Hopefully?" He asked.
"Yes. The man who came up with it for me is now dead, so I can't get anymore" she told him.
"I see..." He mumbled as he looked at it.
"Here you go" she said as she placed a plate of food down on the table for him.
"I'm sorry" Loki said. She looked confused.
"Sorry for what?" He asked, slightly concerned.
"For this" he said as he smashed the bottle on the ground, shattering it into hundreds of pieces and spilling the cure. "But I'm not going to let you do this to yourself anymore" she was shocked and angry.
"How could you do that?! I needed that! How could you do this to me?!" She screamed as she stormed over to him.
"Eira I'm sorry, but I couldn't-" he was cut of by her icy hand grabbing his neck and shoving him against the wall, her grip was tight and he could hardly breath.
"You- You have no idea what you've done" she hissed, her grip was freezing cold and his face was shifting to blue.
"Eira" he said in a small voice. With her free hand she struck his face with ice, causing him to fall to the ground. His vision became blurry, but he could see her storm out of the house. Soon he was laying on the ground unconscious.
