My Asgardian Prince (A Thor Fanfic)

Chapter 4: I am Esmeralda

Delia's P.O.V

(I can't sleep, London is too beautiful to miss! I wrote this on my phone if you guys don't mind.)

"No! I need to go back!" I hissed to my older sister, who was trying to drag me back out.

"NOO!" She snarled back,"This is why I did it! So you can get noticed more!"

"I don't want to get notice!" I screamed at her. But my older sisters iron grip pulled me through the door and out again. I stumbled back and fell onto my knees. I growled and pushed myself back up. I was too focused on the invisible dirt on my red dress to see that everyone was staring at me.

I stood up and blushed deeply when so many people were staring at me. In the distance, it parted to let someone important through. I swallowed loudly, hoping with all of my heart that it wasn't Thor. But a woman who looked like me stepped through forcefully.

"Levana!" Mother forcefully said with her incredibly soft voice. "Who is this?! Did she not know that it is all white!?" Mother stepped up to me, towering over my quivering frame. Her lightening yellow eye flashed with anger. "Who. Are you?" She snarled to me.

I swallowed loudly and was about to say something until older sister stepped in front of mother. "M-mother! Don't mind-mind. . . Uh-uh. . ."

"I am Esmeralda!" I quickly said.

Mother glared down to me with thoughtful eyes, her beautiful slim features were stern and cold. "Well, Esmeralda. Did you not know that this was an all white party? Who's family are you from? Why do you have hair much like my daught-"

"Mother!" Levana interrupted,"She's from where Hogun is from! She is the-the cousin of Hogun!"

Mother glared to Levana, then softened when she looked to me. She held out a peaceful hand and I hesitantly took it in,"I apologize, Esmeralda. I am just a bit agitated, my younger daughter is not here for the celebration. I was in hopes that she would attend, but she isn't feeling well. Being the mother I am, I must worry."

I smiled to her and felt a tingle of guilt in my chest. "Then you have to be such a caring mother." I said, trying to change my accent to fit Hogun's. I think I got it right, because mothers soft smile widen.

"Levana!" Mother barked to my older sister, causing her to flinch. "Go check on your little sister, bring her medication if you might. I will watch over Esmeralda."

"If," I interjected,"if you do not mind, I am going to talk to Hogun and the rest."

Mother twitched, then smiled again,"That is okay with me, just beware, a woman as beautiful as you will be followed by all men. And your dress. . ." she examined me a bit, astonished by it. "It looks like nothing that I would let my daughter would wear. But it does look magnificent on you."

I smiled nervously to her and tried to cover myself. Mother swatted at my hands slightly,"Don't! I want to see your style! It's pretty!"

I pulled away my arms and sheepishly blushed,"My thanks, Moth- I mean Miss."

"Lady Faro." Mother regally said, holding out her hand upwards to either kiss or shake. I shook it instead of kissing, leaving her disappointed. "Lady Esmeralda, go, enjoy yourself, Levana will join you later."

I nodded respectfully to my Mother, then rushed away. That was way too close then what I had expected. But at least she did not see that I was her own little daughter. She bought that I was Hogun's cousin! I really hope that I don't run into her again any time soon. She will have my head if she figures out that I'm her daughter.
