I'll Fight for You

Ch 7

The glass was shattered, tiny shards scattered out on the floor and sheets. Her sketch book was flopped on the ground with her current work. Loki sat on the page reading his book with a smile playing on his lips. Two droplets of blood on the corner of the page....and they were fresh.

"TABITHA!" He screeched out throwing his head out the window trying to find any trace of her. Two pairs of food steps led out from the side of the house and into the street. "No...no no no.." The nord ran outside following the foot prints as far as the trailed led him. The prints became tracks that led off into the street and into the city. "TABITHA!" he yelled out again knowing she was not there to respond.

"Loki!" He snapped his head finding his mother materializing before him.

"Mother who has her!? Who took Tabitha!?"

"Hush my son, I saw all with my foresight." she held his face in her hands. The emotions were mixed of anger, sorrow, and worry."It was two men, one who looks of your brother with cut hair and the other was pale and overly muscled. The pale one wore colors of tan and green the other man wore all black. I can lead you to her but it will be dangerous without your magic." He shook his head.

"No I'm going to use it."

"Odin will find you."

“If I need my magic to keep her safe than so be it. No one will hurt her." his attire mist and changed into his Asgardian garb. "Show me were they are." Frigga looked into his eyes, his mind was set. Her golden hand touched his pale forehead and the visions past through his sight. The men she saw was none other than Matt and the man she knew as father. He was dead wasn't he? And Matt.....they were friends they worked together? Why? Why was he doing this? What do they want with Tabitha? The raven haired woman appeared with them acting as if they did no wrong. The vision blurred and he saw a building in the middle of a circle of trees. It was broken down and the windows were covered with wood. Everything was engulfed in snow but the doorway itself.

He closed his eyes deeply in hailing the freezing air and when they opened he was standing before the building. Three pairs of footsteps now lead from a car into the fixture. Loki looked around then into the sky.

'thank you for your help mother.' He listened intently for voices. Silence. They must of sound proof the place he thought. Cloaking himself he advanced inward praying he would find her and be on his way. Sadly he knew that it wasn't going to play out that way. The door was offset from its hinges making it easy for him to enter silently. It was completely empty, not a single warm body was here. Snow had crept in behind him as he continued. Still not a sound but the wind from outside, what was he missing?

"Fucker" With a sharp turn he saw the ebony girl behind him with a hammer. Then a sharp pain crept over his skull then blackness began to envelop his sight. The floor was coming closer and closer until he hit it hard with a thud; the nord was knocked out cold. She laughed as two more men appeared from the shadows.

A bright light hit his face causing him to wake. A splitting headache caused him to groan in pain, it felt foggy and heavy. His eyes wavered around trying to remember where he was again. A bald man sat in front of him watching or waiting for something. Those eyes so angry looking....HIM! The nord pulled up straining the ropes around his wrists and ankles trying to lung and strangle the man. He wasn't getting out that way; he was tied secured into the chair. The man smiled as he struggled to be released he.

"No use getting out pal" he said between chuckles "you really thought you could save the bitch?" He jabbed a thumb back pointing to a body hung in the air. Loki's green eyes looked at the figure.

"TABITHA!" she hung by her wrist dangling as her blood ran down her arms and legs and into a pool bellow her. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" The gods body shook with rage it was almost clouding his mind.

"Nothing yet." The ebony girl chirped in. "we plan to make her suffer for killing mother." So that was her sister. Weren't they all dead from the collapsed building? "We know you know exactly who we are. We know everything about dear sister, kale, and of course you Loki.” her smile was just as bad if not worse than her fathers.

"So you know who I am? The one who destroyed your home?"

"Oh we don't care about that! We just want her. Sadly,” the girl strutted her way up to the god caressing his face. “We have to kill a handsome man like you." Loki twisted his face away from her touch. "Oh come come now I’m better than her anyways."

"Iza, stop it we have more important matters to attend to." The father stood up playing with a knife in hand twisting and twirling it. He placed the point to Tabitha's collar bone keeping his eyes with the god. He then dragged it down leaving a thick red line oozing down her length. Her body tensed and her jaw clenched, not a sound came from her. Loki watched in anger as he withdrew the blade. "Does that not anger you?" he brought it to the other side and repeated his trail. "Come on I know you want to save her. Do something. c'mere and stop me!"

A body lurched from the dark tackling the father to the ground and away from her draining body. The body in the chair vanished before Iza's eyes.

"Magic!? Matt you never said he knew magic!!" Iza flew back in a fighting stance, the same as Tabitha's fighting stance. She put a hand to her ear then began to murmur under hear breath. Shots began to fire from above them, bullets riddled the nord then it also vanished.

"I had no idea! I only boxed him I didn't see any magic!" Matt fell from the raptures above wielding pistols. "I told you all that I knew! Wanted more info you should have paid me more!"

"That wasn't part of the deal Mathew!" The girl yelled back.

"Shut up you too! We’ll just have to make this quick then!" The bald man stood up stabbing Tabitha in her chest carving out her heart. Then she faded into the darkness. "Her too!?"

"I am the god of lies and mischief! Did you really think you could beat me mortals!?" Loki stood before all of them with his love gasping for breath in his arms. One arm cradled her bleeding form and the other wielded fire, "Burn for what you have done." Flames irrupted from every corner of the building they touched the ceiling dancing about. Matt fired at his body, with a flick of the wrist the bullets shattered. Iza screamed trying to find an escape out as the father stood in front of him. His eyes were killing the god over and over again.

CREEEEECRACK

A beam fell between the two cutting his line of vision off. The nord had disappeared into the night with his bleeding love. He stood in the snow trying to stop her bleeding; it came rushing out of her tiny body.

"Tabitha come on, you’re a fighter you can't die." She was silent her body was growing colder with each passing moment. He grazed his hands around her emitting light flames to keep her warm. The sky grew darker and thunder erupted. The nord didn't care he continued on with her. With a loud clap ten men in golden armor appeared around him. He paid no mind to them as he continued his nurturing.

"Let’s go Loki, we have found you." a guard said. He didn't stop; he kept his eyes on Tabitha begging that she would stir. "Let's go we have no time to waist." The men behind him reached over slapping the restraints on him stopping his magic in the process.

"No you idiots!" he scooped her up bridal style in an attempt to hold her close. "Heimdall!!!" A light surrounded them all sending them back into the sky. Colors, stars, and planets circled them as they ascended into the golden palace. There, more guards waiting for Loki's return. He fell to his knees with her in his arms. "Lock me up but please heal her!" the guards looked at one another. Loki was covered in her blood from head to toe. "Please! This is the only thing I beg! Heal her and lock me away!" His voice was pleading and became more and more choked as her body grew colder.

"Take her." Heimdall spoke. "Stop her bleeding." with the gate keepers word they took Tabitha from his arms. Four men stood around the god as he stood to be taken. His eyes never left her as she was being ran down the hall. A trail of crimson was left behind them. He turned once she was out of sight and began walking to his cell. It didn't matter if he was caught now....she was safe now.
