The Saviour (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 23 The Secret Weapon

Scarlett's POV

4 months later

I watch the sun as it slowly begins to set on another Asgardian day. The sky is glowing orange with red and yellow swirls floating amongst. It makes me smile for the first time in ages. Loki's death hit us all hard, especially me. I still refuse to remove Loki's engagement ring; I wouldn't have any other man. Only him.

During the past few months I went back to earth to visit my friends. Stark helped me make a hover board so I could watch the sun set in Asgard. Up in the sky where no one can bother me. So that's what I'm doing, watching the sky as the world below prepares for war.

Malekith somehow survived the battle on earth and is preparing an army to attack Asgard. We have been on red alert for days but there's been no sight of them. Apparently, they have a new secret weapon but no one has a clue what that could be.

Loki's funeral was the hardest day of my life, even the first day I was tortured didn't even come close to the pain I felt inside. I had to set an empty boat alight as they couldn't find his body. I cried in Frigga arms as we honoured the dead as we honoured him. Even his old friends shed a tear as we mourned him. Thor went to see Jane for a while and only came back when we found out about Malekith.

Odin named me the God of Survival, because I managed to cope with so much and keep going. The name didn't make me feel any better, considering he is gone.

Suddenly an alarm goes off and I quickly stand up on my board and fly back to the entrance of my balcony. I jump in and run out my room. I run to the front of the palace and I can see no sign of the army. Then out of thin air, the army of elves appear outside the palace with their ship behind him.

I'm grabbed from behind and a blade is pressed to my throat, "Use your magic and I will kill you."

I nod and I'm forced to the side, my arms are tied behind me before I have the chance to fight back. The blade is still pressed to my neck. Thor and Odin along with their army come out the palace and stand before the army with me trapped on the right-hand side in the middle of the two armies.

Malekith comes forward as I try to burn the ropes but the rope is laced with magic. I can't break free, I'm defenceless.

Malekith then yells to Odin, "I have a surprise for you Allfather, our new weapon!!!!"

A man comes forward and I stare at him in shock. He is dressed in green, black and gold and his hair is black just the way I remember it. But his eyes are dark black not green, he is under a spell.

Loki.

My jaw feels like its dropped to the floor. It's Loki, it's him. I can't believe it. And Malekith has had him this whole time. That thought alone makes my blood boil.

Malekith smirks increases as Odin and Thor also stare at him in shock.

"We found him barely alive and turned him into our perfect weapon."

How?... He was dead?

Odin speaks up, "Release him from the spell at once Malekith!!!"

Malekith chuckles, "No, he is ours to control now. And we shall use him to destroy Asgard. But first... we need a guarantee that he stays this way."

All eyes focus on me as Malekith approaches me and lifts my head up so I look at him, "And only the beautiful Scarlett here could ever release him from the spell. You shall die, princess Scarlett."

He moves away and strolls back to stand in front of his army.

He then turns back to me, "His last words before he finally gave in to my magic was your name, Scarlett." He looks at Loki who stares at him, "Kill her."

My eyes widen, he's ordering Loki to kill me. I try to struggle but the Elve is holding me tight with the blade now being held behind my back. Loki comes towards me as he pulls out his sword. I need to snap him out the spell, it could be my only chance. Our only chance.

Thor yells, "Brother, snap out of it!!!"

I look at Thor and yell, "Shut up Thor, I know what to do."

He shuts up as Loki finally stands before me.

I begin to say, which could be my last words, to Loki, "Oh Loki, what has he done to you? Please Loki listen, this isn't you, you are not evil!!!! Malekith is manipulating you to do this. I know you would never hurt me so I know you can't do this. And if you do let him do this, you will never be able to forgive yourself. Loki I love you and there is no way I'm going to lose you to evil again. Please Loki snap the hell out of it!!!!" I yell but there seems to be no response.

I close my eyes and he brings the blade forward and stabs me. But there's no pain. I open my eyes and see the blade has gone into the Elve, the one that is holding me with the blade. I fall to the floor as the Elve lets me go and dies behind me. I still can't break free of the bonds, but I don't care about that.

I look up at Loki as his eyes turn back to green. The eyes I have been praying to see once again.

Loki's POV

I couldn't take the pain anymore and soon I was swept into darkness. I felt like I was stuck in it for months. Then suddenly I hear her voice, Scarlett's voice calling from the light at the end of the darkness.

Using all my strength, I crawl towards the light and suddenly I have control of my body and I can see everything. I am standing before Scarlett, she is tied and being held by an Elve with a blade to her back. He must have wanted me to kill her. Her eyes are closed. I stab the Elve holding her and she falls to the ground but she is ok and the Elve is dead.

She looks up at me and I smile as relief spreads across her face.

"Kill her Loki!!!" Malekith yells.

I turn back to Malekith and toss the blade to the ground, "I don't think so. I think I would rather kill you."

Odin and Thor smile at me as I pull out my blades, "You tried to make me kill my fiancé, you are gonna wish you didn't do that."
