The Saviour (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 41 True Intentions Part 2

Scarlett's POV

They place a helmet on my head which is linked to some sort of machine that will drain me dry and kill me. I hate my parents and I can never forgive them for this. Everything has been a lie and now I will die. With Loki thinking I have ran away and left him.

They remove my gag as Jackson aka my ex father powers up the machine, "This will drain you of your magic and it's going to hurt."

My ex mother Cecilla smirks, "Enjoy your death. Begin."

I scream as I feel my magic being sucked out of me and slowly I get weaker and weaker. So much I can't scream no more or move. I feel so weak...

Cecilla cheers, "It's working, a few minutes longer and she will be dead."

Suddenly I hear a crash and I barely turn my head to see Loki storm though the door. I sign in relief and then a pain hits my chest.

"Kill him!!"

They charge towards him and begin fighting him as I struggle to breath. It hurts, it hurts. I see Thor whack my ex parents to the ground with his hammer.

"I've got them, save Scarlett."

I gasp for breath, feeling my chest tighten as Loki rushes over to me and smashes the machine. Before removing the helmet thing as I take deep breaths, my strength slowing returning.

"Loki...." I whisper.

He undoes the straps, "Shh, save your strength, I've got you."

He picks me up bridal style as I rest my head against his chest and then I see Thor, holding my knocked-out parents.

"Let's bring them back to Asgard, they must pay for this." Loki tells Thor and he nods.

I feel so tired and then I close my eyes, as I try to rest and full into a peaceful sleep.

Loki's POV

After Scarlett fell asleep in my arms, we came back to Asgard and I took her to our room, tucking her in bed. Before going down with Thor to lock up her parents.

Odin appears as Thor locks them inside the glass cells, keeping them apart.

"I should have known they hadn't changed." He states before asking, "How's Scarlett?"

I look at my father, "If we had been a few seconds later, she would be dead. It was too close this time. I lost my child and I can't lose Scarlett too."

"And yet you refuse to let her in? And tell her your feeling?" He states.

I turn away from him, "I'm going to check on Scarlett."

Then I teleport to our room to see Scarlett beginning to stir. He's right, I do need to connect again with Scarlett. I'm just not ready yet.

I sit down beside her as she opens her eyes and smiles, "Loki."

"How are you feeling?"

She sits up, "Where are they?"

"The dungeons, to be sentenced tomorrow. I expect they will be sentenced to death, for nearly killing a princess,"

She nods, "Good. I can't believe they tried to... to think, if Nick never took me, I would be dead."

I take her hand and then she says, "I'm sorry for losing the baby."

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

"But if I had stayed...."

I shake my head, "Then Thanos would have found you anyway, I'm just glad you are alive. Just rest, and we can talk properly about it later."

"What about us?"

"I don't know Scarlett, I don't know. I need to... I need space for a bit.... But we can work things out, I promise."

I lay down next to her and she snuggles up next to me and falls a sleep.

I don't blame you Scarlett, I blame myself.
