Twelve Days Do Us Part

Why... What... How... Who... L-Loke...

Your POV

I wake up to a lot of screaming and the sound of something smashing. I peek out of the window. Oh my gosh... Why are they... What happened to the... No... The zodiac spirits... What's wrong with them!? They're destroying everything!! Except for their houses... Wait, why isn't my house being destroyed!? Wait... Loke and I both live here...

"Where's that stupid hunter!?"

"I don't know. We've destroyed every house except for ours!"

"Ugh, maybe she's out serving one of those abusive 'masters' of ours!" So... I'm safe? No, that's not it... I better get all of my valuable things, just in case. I grab the blanket off of the bed and head to closet, grabbing one of Loke's suit jackets and a few of my belts. I head to my special room and grab my journal and it's key.

"I better hurry... Maybe I can find Lyra..." I jump out of the window and attempt to run to Lyra's house, but I'm grabbed by the back of my shirt.

"There you are, you worthless silver key!" Those words are an arrow to my heart, especially coming from Loke. What happened to him? Why is he being so mean to me?

"Go with the others, or I'll have Virgo punish you!" I nod and run to the place where the screams are. All of the silver key spirits are hiding inside a few fallen columns. I see Lyra, Horologium, Pyxis, and Plue sitting together with Grandpa Cross getting tortured by Virgo. What happened to all of the zodiac spirits?

"Psst! (Y/n)! Hurry! Before you get punished!" I nod and slip under one of the columns, sitting between Lyra and Horologium. Plue waddles over to me and sits in my lap, shaking.

"Lyra? What... What happened to all of the zodiac spirits...? What happened... What happened to Loke?"

"I don't know, (Y/n)... They keep calling us 'Worthless silver keys' and saying how they're going to get true freedom..." Tears fill my eyes as I run my finger over the golden ring on my finger. Loke... What happened to you...? You said you would always love me, but... Now, you don't...

"At least you weren't beaten..." They were beaten!? What... How could they... Why would they... Who did...

"Alright! You better not go to Earthland, you worthless bunch of powerless spirits! Or else!" I shiver in fear. Loke... Why would he start acting like this all of a sudden...? Did I... Did I do something wrong...?

"I miss the old Loke..." I whimper and wrap Plue and myself in the blanket I had grabbed. It's really big, so Lyra, Horologium, and Grandpa Cross were able to share, also. Tears run down my cheeks as I clutch Loke's suit jacket.

"It's alright, (Y/n)! I'm sure Lucy will find a way to help!"

"I hope so..." I mutter. I silently sob and curl up between the rest of my friends. Well, the friends that aren't trashing the Spirit World... Pyxis walks up to me and I let him into the blanket, also. More tears escape my eyes as I see Loke... Wait, Corrupted Loke, talk to the other zodiac spirits.

"Erm... Horologium...? May... May I... Erm..." I stutter out but Lyra only sighs, opening Horologium's door. She pushes me inside of him with Loke's suit jacket and my journal, along with Plue. He shakily hugs me, and I hug him back. Wrapping the both of us in Loke's suit jacket, I continue to sob.

"Erm... Horologium? Please don't repeat what I say to myself... If you don't mind..." I mutter. I stare out of the window and cry even more at other spirits being beaten by Virgo. L-Loke... Why...?
