Scarlett's POV

I couldn't sleep. I just kept tossing and turning all night. This bedroom feels so foreign to me. I don't even remember sleeping or even being in this room. It feels like a stranger.

When I went to breakfast, Thor's brother Loki wasn't there. To think I've been in Asgard so long and I must wonder, how did I not meet him? Remember him? I should have met him before or maybe I have. Oh I don't know.

And that's not the only things that strange. It's not just the fact I was kidnapped and Thor won't tell me why. Or who? But also, my past is clouded. It's like my memories are not there, or like they are blank. I can't even remember how I came to Asgard or how I escaped Shield and Fury. Every time I try to remember my head hurts. I think whoever kidnapped me, tampered with my memories.

I'm on my way to the gardens, thinking some fresh air could do me some good. When I hear yelling, coming from the library that I just walked past. Hearing my name, I turn back and peak inside, being careful not to be noticed.

Inside, Loki is in the middle of the room and he looks a state. He looked so happy and full of life when I last saw him. But now Loki has bags under his eyes and clearly hasn't slept in days. He looks so sad, so heart broken. What happened to him? Next to him is Thor as he tries to comfort him.

Loki signs, shaking his head, "I just... can't. I can't just go out and pretend everything is alright when the woman I love doesn't remember me and sleeps in the room next door. I can't tell her how much I love her and how much I want to hug her and hold her and protect. Oh... it's all my fault."

"It isn't." Thor interrupts.

"But it is brother. If I performed the spell and not her. She would have never fallen through the Bifrost and then been taken. And then she would be alright and still remember me." He sits down, "It hurts too much to be around her. My dear Scarlett." He wipes away a tear.

I back away from the door as Thor hugs him, "We will find a way to make her remember."

He's in this state because of me. I'm so confused, how did I forget he loves me? do I love him? How did I forget about Loki?

I can just hear Loki say, "All I can do is keep my distance and try and find a way to restore her memories. I have to try."

I forget Loki!!!

Then I just run, as fast as my feet can take me away from the truth and into the garden. I barely reach a bench in the garden when my head begins pounding again. I must remember, I must remember. Oh, my head

Suddenly images flash before my mind, memories. Only a few.

One is me and Loki, we are surrounded by these elves and I'm begging for him to come back to me. He then snaps out of it and then he is saving me from a ship and we kiss. Another is me and him at a feast, I'm watching him reunite with his family. Then there is this last one, I'm being pinned down by Nick and I watch as Loki freezes Nick and saves me.

The memories stop and I gasp for breath, we love each other. Loki, he is the one who saved me from Nick and then I see the ring on my finger. I'm married, we are married. Oh my god.

How did I forget him? Who took my memories away? Will I remember the rest?

Suddenly Sif appears at my side, "Scarlett, calm down, are you ok? What happened?"

I look at her as the headache goes off, "I'm alright... but I saw... is Loki my husband?"

Her jaw drops, "How did you?"

"I heard Loki and Thor talking about it and my head began to pound and I saw us, together in a few memories that flashed before my eyes. And with the wedding ring on my finger, it clicked. But how did I forget him Sif? Will I remember the rest of my memories? What happened to me?"

She signs as she explains, "Thanos attacked and took control of Odin and the guards. He attempted to banish you but you used all your magic to snap them out of it. Loki tried to save you but the guards that were holding you dragging you into the bifrost. You disappeared and then when we finally found you, whoever had you, wiped your memories of Loki."

I nod, "I see."

She takes my hand, and pulls me to my feet, "And he didn't believe it would be possible for you to ever remember. But you are and we must go and tell him!"

She drags me back inside, not letting go of my hand. She finally lets me go when we are outside the library where I had previous seen Loki and Thor inside.

"I don't know if I can do this. What if I don't get any more memories back?"

She signs, "I know Scarlett but you must tell him. He needs hope that you will remember and that he will get you back."

I shake my head, "I don't want to break his heart if I can't remember. And what if my feelings for him don't come back?"

She pushes me closer to the door, "They will, have hope, have faith." And then she pushes me inside.

Inside, my eyes instantly land on Loki, and he's alone. He sits on a desk that is already stacked full of books and he is reading a book which says on the side, the memories of the brain. He's trying to find a way to bring my memories back.

He looks up and his eyes widen when he sees us, when he sees me. Despite his eyes filled with pain, he forces a smile as he puts his book and gets up.

He comes over, "Can I help you?"

Sif nudges me forward, "Tell him, go on."

"Tell me what?" Loki asks, still confused.

I take a breath, "Loki... I know you are my husband. I keep having memories flashes... only a few but I know you are the person I forgot."

His jaw drops, "You're remembering?

I nod slightly and Sif smiles, "I will leave you two alone."

She leaves, shutting the door and leaving me with the man I forgot, the man I love.

He shakes his head, "How? It can't be possible. The spell placed on you... How are you?"

I shrug, "I don't know. I heard you earlier, talking to Thor about me and then I had this overwhelming headache. And then I saw flashbacks of us and I knew straight away.

"Your magic..." Loki mutters, "It must have been your magic. Restoring your memories..."

He turns away from me, wearing a smile on his face. Then I remember his discussion with Thor and take Loki's hand. He turns to face me.

I smile, "Loki.... If you love me, which judging by what I have seen and heard, you do, you will get some rest." He signs so I add, "Do it for me?"

He nods, "Alright."

"Can I come with you? I wish to see our room, it could help."

He smiles, "Sure."

So, keeping a hold of Loki's hand, I follow him back to our room. The moment I enter I recognise it from a memory. I go over to the balcony and trace my finger across the damaged rails.

Loki speaks up, "Are you ok?"

I nod as I turn to him, "Yeah... it's all just so familiar."

He takes my hand and smiles, "I didn't think you would ever remember me."

I smile and then he asks, "There's a grand ball to celebrate your return tomorrow. Will you please come with me? It might help jog your memory."

That sounds perfect, the more time I can spend with him, maybe the more I can and will remember.

"Yes, I would love to go with you." He kisses me on the cheek and I instantly I feel my head begin to pound.

I lose my balance but Loki quickly supports me, "Scarlett, you ok?"

"I feel dizzy.... I just need to rest." I say, "But I will see you tonight at the ball."

He smiles, "Sure."

"Promise me you will rest?"

"I promise you."
