Long story short. My plan worked. I'm currently sitting in the plane headed to shield. Sure I'm hand cuffed, but she's there. Like on the plane. She looks about twelve. That's the age she was when I met her.
       "Introducing sir Milan beconson and his daughter lady Aunreinn." The palace guard announced. Father once again is making us sit through his meetings. Thor and I keep goofing off until father made us stop.
"My grace, me and my family are very poor." The man starts. My eyes flash to the young girl. I knew what was going to be asked by the look on the young girls face and the fact that it happened often in the palace. "Please sir. I offer you my oldest daughter if you just help provide for my family."
I see a tear slip down Aunreinn's cheek. She still keeps a smile on her face and her head high though, despite the fact her father is selling her. She's dressed in what must be her mothers wedding dress, if what the father said was true. She was about my age, which is twelve.
"We have more then enough servants in our palace at the moment sir. Thank you for your offer but there is nothing I can have her do." My father tells the poor man.
At this moment I do something unexpected. I stand up and say, "I can use her father. Mother has been saying I need a playmate and I was old enough for a servant of my own."
Father gives me a blank stare for a moment then nods and turns to the man. They settle something out so she can work to feed her family then father tells me to take her to my room. Since we don't have a place in the servants' houses she will have to stay there.
"Thank you." The brown haired girl says to me as we walk to my quarters. "You are saving my family."
"I'm Loki. Aunreinn right?" She nods. "I saw the tear. You're the bravest girl I've seen that's been brought. I'm sorry you have to leave your family, but I hope one day you can see me as family."
She smiles faintly and we reach my room. I show her around and where she will sleep.

Years pass and she works for me, All can say is the chocolate brown eyes find a way to reach my heart and I fall in love. By the time we are 15 she admits she feels the same. I'll never forget how happy it made me.
I'm pulled from my memory by a clap of thunder. I look up nervously when the red head I recognize as Natasha speaks. "What? Afraid of a little lightning?"
"I'm not particularly fawned of what comes after." I reply. Thunder hits again and this time a loud thump is heard on the roof. Of great! My amazing brother coming to ruin my plans.
The back hatch flys open and the next thing I know he grabs me. I do the first thing that comes to my head and grab the closest thing to me which happens to be Aunreinn.

We fly through the air and land on a rock. "Glad to see you too, brother" I say after I catch my breath.
"What the heck!" Aunreinn yells. I guess I should say Emma. "Who are you?" She questions Thor.
"Aunreinn? Loki you can not possibly be trying what I think you are?" Thor says to me then looks at the young girl.
Another long story short me and Thor fight it out.
"Listen well brother!" Thor shouts at me, then he's gone.
"I'm listening." I say with a smirk then turn to Emma. "Hello. I suppose you don't know me."
"You're the guy who kidnapped my best friend and is now mind controlling him. I don't need to know much to know I hate you." She spits. My heart breaks when she says 'hate'.
"Well, I suppose that's true. Loki. I wish we could have met under better circumstances."
"Save it douche bag." She spits then does something Aunreinn never would have. Punched me right in the nose.
"I guess I deserved that." I mutter holding my nose.
She rolls her eyes at me. Then starts looking around. I can see Thor fighting with the two men who fought me.
"I need to get down there." She growls looking for a place to get off this rock.
"Ever hear the name Aunreinn?" I question. Why? I have no idea, it just happened.
Emma freezes in her tracks and turns to me shock, fear, and sadness all in her eyes. That's the last thing I see before a blur flies at me, which I later realized was her, and I'm knocked out.
*****[Emma's POV]*****
"Ever hear the name Aunreinn?" The jerk questions. My mother used to call me that when she thought I was asleep. The pain of those few years with her flash through my mind and I lose it. The next thing I know I'm attacking Loki and he's passed out. Tears flood in my eyes as I think back to those 4 years of my life and I collapse to the ground. Captain America, iron man, and I'm guessing Thor, come and find me with my legs to my chest rocking back and forth trying to get the memories gone. How can one name trigger stuff I locked away for a purpose?
"Emma are you ok?" Steve asks.
"What did my brother do?" The god booms.
"I'm fine, it was me. I just need Natasha." I say. The guys grab Loki and Nat lands the bird.
I tell Nat in quite tones what happened on the way back. She gives a funny look at the unconscious god then pats my back and tells me to try and get sleep myself. I willingly obey.
