My greatest hero

chapter 39

Loki sat in the dungeon, trying not to think about the pain he was in, it had been only a week since he'd been taken, but it seemed like an eternity, very day was long and torturous, there was never a moment when he wasn't mentally screaming in agony. He rested his head against the wall and shut his eyes, trying to rest. "Loki" he heard a voice call his name, he opened his eyes and saw a figure standing in the doorway.
"Who are you?" He asked, her voice sounded familiar. "It's me, Eira" she said taking off her hood. He felt a rush of joy take over.
"Eira! You- how did-" he couldn't find words to speak, he was so happy to see her.
"Is Thor with you?" He asked.
"Why would he be?" She said back, with no emotion in her voice it face.
"Well, I thought- will you unshackle me?" He requested, seeing that she had a key in her hand. She laughed and shook her head.
"Why would I do that?" He looked at her in confusion.
"So we can go back to asgard" he said "You think this is a rescue" she said looking at the floor. "You're so foolish" she laughed, looking back at him, His heart sank.
"What are you talking about?" He said holding back the tears filling his eyes.
"Did you really think I loved you?" She asked.
"Eira, what is going on?" He questioned. She rolled her eyes at him.
"I played you, loki. I never cared about you, our whole relationship was a setup to get you here" she told him.
"But I love you" he said back "I know, that's what made you easy. You were so desperate for love that you couldn't see what was right in front of you. You know, when Embrey sent me to deceive you-" she was cut off by loki
"Embrey sent you?" He asked, his heart being torn to pieces.
"Yes, she sent me to distract you" she said "and I honestly thought it would be difficult, people are always talking about how smart you are" she started, coming over to him and kneeling next to him. "And my plan was just to get captured my the king and talk to you, keep you busy for a few days, but you practically threw yourself on me. You helped me escape, you told me your life story, you even asked me to marry you.
And then you wouldn't leave me alone, you were so clingy, I just couldn't get away from you. But you were so desperate that you never saw my lie. I only wanted to distract you, so that Embrey could send spies into Asgard." she told him harshly, he felt a lump in his throat. Just then Embrey entered the room.
"Ah, I see you are finally getting the truth out" she laughed "and I'm glad, watching the two of you was sickening." She said with a disgusted tone.
"Try being the one doing it, trust me, it's far worse" Eira said, standing up, and walking over to Embrey. Loki didn't know what to think.
"Go tell Thor we're ready to move in" Embrey told Eira.
"Of course" Eira said as she left the room. "Thor is in on this?" Loki asked in shock.
"Who do you think is the one torturing you everyday? He said he wouldn't let anyone but him have that pleasure" she said with a wicked grin.
"What are you planing?" He asked
"We are going to take over Asgard. Thor and I are engaged, after I have Eira murder the king, Thor will step up to take the throne, I'll be queen of muspelhiem and asgard, and Eira will be made queen on niflehiem, with the forces of the three realms, we can easily take over the other six." She said, feeling all to pleased with their plan "And Thor wants you as his personal servant" she added as she left. She slammed the door, and right as she did, Loki's eyes shot open, he was back outside, shackled to the pillar, panting for breath.
"It was a dream" she said to himself, breathing harder. He started talking to himself, trying to calm down, he then saw a guard coming towards him. The guard came over, unshackled his wrists, and dragged him back into the dungeon, throwing him against the wall. three more men came in, which always meant the same thing. They all started kicking, and pounding him and the chest and face. After a few minutes of this, one if them grabbed his hair, and slammed his head against the stone floor, causing him to pass out.
