The Saviour (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 17 The Aether

I'm surrounded in darkness and I can't see anything. What's going on? Is anyone here?

"You are not who you think you are." A voice echoes from the darkness.

Who's there? Where am I?

Suddenly I can't move my legs or my hands. Whats going on? Why can't I move? Let me go.

The voice echoes again, "You will destroy everything, you must die."

What?!!!

I keep struggling as I feel a cold blade run up and down my arms. "Please let me go, I don't want to die!!!!!"

Finally, I see a figure in the darkness next to me as it raises the knife and brings it down on me.

Please! No!!!!

My eyes suddenly fly open as I sit up and gasp for breath. Its just a nightmare, calm down. I look and see Loki sleeping peacefully beside me.

Carefully, I slip out of bed not waking Loki and run into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. Quickly I wash my face as I try to calm down. What was that crazy dream about? Its like nothing Ive ever experienced before. Normally its about the experiments Nick did to me but this time it was different. Who was the man?

You know what, its just a dream. Forget about it.

I dry my face as I hear a voice calling for me, "Scarlett?"

Loki.

I smile as I reenter the bedroom to see Loki laid on the bed. He signs in relief when he sees me and crawls out of bed.

"Are you alright?" He asks as he pulls me closer to him, his bare chest against mine.

"Yeah, just a nightmare." I reassure him.

"Would you like me to show you the palace today?" He asks as he quickly kisses me on the cheek and goes over to the closet.

I nod, "I would love to."

I quickly change into a green Asgardian dress as Loki changes into his usual outfit before we leave the room. We walk around the palace, his hands in mine and my head resting on his shoulder as he points out the many rooms of the palace. It's so amazing, its like being in a fairytale castle.

He leads me over to a room but stops at the door.

"This is one of my favorite rooms when I was growing up. Would you like to see?"

I nod and he pushes open the doors. My eyes widen as I walk into the room. This is amazing. The walls are stacked with books and in the corner is a desk that is green. Loki's I guess. This is the biggest library I have ever seen.

I stroll over to the fireplace as Loki shuts the doors behind us. He comes to stand beside me as I admire the room.

"I used to spend most of my time in here, when I was child, practicing and learning about magic."

I smile as I imagine Loki as a child practicing magic.

"Will you teach me?" I ask as I turn to face him.

He looks at me slightly confused and looking shocked at the same time, "What?"

"Can you teach me to improve my magic? I want to be able to control it so I can defend myself better."

Loki's about to speak when we hear shouting coming from down the hall. We quickly dash out the room and run down the hall way. We reach the end of the hall and we hear voices yelling, that I recognize as Thor's and Odin's.

What happening now?

"It's coming from the healers." He says and we push open the door.

In the centre is a bed and theres a girl on it. Thor is beside her and Odin is going towards her. She looks unwell. Who is she?
