The Saviour (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 30 Promise Me

Scarlett's POV

The Honeymoon was brilliant and I think it was what we really needed, some sense of normality. Some sense of freedom and it was perfect. We arrive back in Asgard and Loki carries me inside and up to our room. He kicks the door open and I chuckle as he lowers me down next to the bed.

I smile, turning to face him, "Thank you my darling husband."

"No, thank you my darling wife." He says smirking away.

I roll my eyes as I lean in and kiss him. Suddenly, there is a surging pain in my back and I fall forward into his chest. He lowers me to the floor as I collapse, the pain getting worse. It's like a surge of unbearable pain running through my veins.

"Scarlett!!!" Loki yells as he pulls out something out of my back.

He holds it up and then I see it, a dart. A poisoned dart.

"Poison?!!!!" He lifts my head as I feel it, the poison flowing in my veins, "Scarlett stay with me!!"

I look into his eyes as tears roll down his cheek, "It's too late Loki...I can feel it...ahh...killing me from the inside."

Loki screams out, "Someone!!!! Help!!!" He yells out in desperation as tears escape my eyes.

I don't want to die. We have only just started. No...I don't want to go.

"Loki..." I whisper, struggling to breath.

He turns to look at me, "Promise me Loki...promise me Loki that you won't do anything rash. Don't go to the darkness.... promise me."

He lifts me up so I'm his arms, "I promise."

I smile, feeling my body shutting down, "I will always love you."

He leans in and kisses me. I kiss him back and then I take my last breath. Looking at my love for what could be the last time. It is the last time. His memorising green eyes look at me with so much pain and sorrow. There are no words to describe his pain. I don't want to go, to leave him, but the poison in my veins is killing me. And then I close my eyes.

Loki's POV

There are no words to say as she shuts her eyes, her last breath taken. Tears are flooding down my eyes as my body shakes violently. She's dead, she's dead. No!!!

I pull her close to my chest, cradling her. Tears roll down my cheek uncontrollably. She's gone ... No I don't want to her to go. She can't be gone, she can't be.

Then I hear the doors open and I turn my head, it's Odin, Frigga and Thor. They see her...dead...in my arms and the dart next to us.

I take a breath, trying desperately not to breath down, "Thanos...he...he... he shot her with a poisoned dart. She's...she's dead."

I hear then gasp but I just turn back to look at Scarlett, dead in my arms.

It's like my heart has broken in two.

Time Skip

I always hated funerals. The horrible silence and the breaking of hearts as the boat floats to sea about to be burned. I always hoped that it would never be me feeling the emotions. But it is.

Frigga has dressed Scarlett in the dress I first gave her, back on earth. My beloved, once full of life, now is still, laid in the boat. Her body at rest. I try my best to hold it together, the tears threatening to spill any second. My body feels numb. I keep thinking, Scarlett must have felt like this, when she thought I was dead. I just want her to breath and jump out the boat, but she is still. She will always be still.

Silently, I take the bow and arrow from my brother. I light the end of the arrow as the boat drifts of further over the water, getting closer to the edge. I release the arrow and it lands on the boat, the boat lighting up in flames. Odin stomps his staff and the boat floats, and her soul goes up into the sky, to be amongst the stars.

Goodbye Scarlett.

2 hours later, time skip

After the funeral I go straight to the throne room. The old Loki, would want to get revenge for what they did to her and a part of me, still does. But I made Scarlett a promise, I will keep that vow.

As I enter, I see Odin is on his throne, hanging his head in mourning.

"Father." I address him.

He sees me and steps down from his throne, "Son...are you alright? What can I do to help?"

"I need you to do me a favour." I take a breath, "Before when Scarlett was...dying...I promised her that I wouldn't go after Thanos or the Other for revenge and to not go into the darkness. And I fear I will. So, I need to ask you... can I be locked in a private cell until I can control myself?"

He stares at me, "You want me to lock you in the dungeons son?"

I nod, "Yes, I don't want to break the promise I made her."

"I understand...I shall sort it out immediately. It will be private so no one will know." My father tells me.

"Thank you."
