Loki's Angel (Loki Fan fic)

Chapter 6 Caught

Less than ten minutes since Loki was freed, Fall was separated from him again.

The brothers were walking fast, and she had to maintain a near-run to get through every automatic door that closed behind them. In a startling moment, Loki's green cape had caught her throat as she tried to follow the asgardians, before the clasps went flying off her neck. Fall ended up falling face-first to the ground with a loud, noticeable 'wham!'

The cape fluttered down, stuck in the door behind Fall.

"What was that?" Thor questioned, raising his hammer and his voice, turning around. "Is someone there?"

"That sounded like someone dropped something or fell over here...." Loki observed, walking towards Fall. The angel frantically sat up and made an attempt to quickly free Loki's cape from the doorway before the fabric became visible again, her loss of concentration causing the illusion of invisibility to fade.

While Fall was on her knees, Loki came two inches away from her, looking around. Fall scooted to one side of the hallway, tugging at the cape, struggling to free the tough fabric from the locked doors.

Don't turn visible, don't turn visible! Fall internally begged, feeling her influence on the object fading. With one last tug, the cape started turning visible, as if color was being poured onto the once-empty space, forming into a majesty of craftsmanship, thread by thread. Fall dropped the cape, and bit her lip as she scooted away.

Loki picked up one end of the cape, a clearly shocked look on his face.

Fall crawled backwards, too scared to turn around, and shoved herself towards the corner, hoping nothing would happen. Miki's eyes bore into her skin and Fall could not let Loki know of her existence- not this way.

"Loki, is that not your cape?" Thor asked, walking over. The man seemed confused enough for both Asguardians. Miki, the only one who knew what was happening besides Fall, looked towards the brunette with dagger eyes.

"Yes, this is, it just appeared from the door here. I thought I had left it on the barbaric plane." Loki scoffed with disbelief, opening the door with Thor's key and pulling the troublesome corner out.

"That is odd. How did such a thing end up here?" Thor asked in his deep voice, looking around. "Who could have brought it?"

In the corner, Fall hid her head in her arms as she waited for them to move on. Loki put the cape fully down again, looking over the fabric. He tugged the cape gently towards him, and with horror Fall realized something- she was stepping on a corner!

She lifted her foot quickly, hoping Loki didn't notice, but no such luck was found.

The Asgardian prince smirked, picked up his cape from the floor, and sassily walked over to the corner that Fall was pressed into. The angel held her breath and looked around frantically for a way out of the situation, finding no escape without sounding alarms.

"The person who brought my cape is right here." Loki told his brother with a triumphant smirk. Then the man tossed his cape over Fall.

The angel didn't dare to move as she was surrounded by the dark green cape, and heard an amused snicker from Miki. Fall was found out.

Fall was found out, she was going to die, she could already picture it in her head- the pathetic funeral, her only three friends, the complete darkness- Ah! Why couldn't she just have just left the cape? A known angel was a dead angel!

"By Odin, there is a person right there!" Thor stated the obvious disbelievingly. Fall could not see him, and clenched her eyes shut, as if no one could see her if she could not see them.
