REMEMBER ME (Loki x Alina x Fandral)

Bruises

*Alina*

I have been waiting for Loki to pick me up as usual for the meeting. Since he hasn't
come yet, I eventually decide to walk around the garden. The fresh air in the
morning feels so good filling my lungs. I admired the roses blooming so beautifully. My thought's dwelling when I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"You're here".I say, feeling a soft smile spread on my lips.

"Of course. I would never miss an opportunity to see your beautiful face". Fandral
say as he takes my hand in his own and kisses it.

"Always the gentleman, aren't you?"

"You deserve only the best after all". He send me a charming grin.
then ask. "So you have any spare timetoday ?"

"I have no idea, since Loki hasn't picked me up yet". I explain. "But, I guess,
I do now. At least till Loki shows up".

"You do ?"

We lean in towards each other, but as we are about to go for the 'Disney kiss,' Loki rush over, clearing his throat, making Fandral groan and me blush.

"Fandral, Thor is waiting for you on the courtyard". Loki say in a flat tone.

"Fine". Fandral mutters and press a light kiss onto my lips. "I love you". He
wink. "And stay alive". Fandral wink once more, making me giggle and blush.

I watch him walk away before finally turning to the Prince, looking at him. "Can I help you, my prince ?" I ask rather sharply, though not forgetting the formalities - he is royalty after all.

"You two have been acting like nauseating 'love birds.' Loki say.

"Just get straight to the point, Loki". I glare at him.

Loki starts tugging at my hand like a small child. Then he grabs my wrist and pin me against the wall. His grip is very tight on my wrist, it is going to bruise so much.

"I care for you..I love you". His face is so close to mine that I can feel his
moist and hot breath against my lips. My gaze locking with his and then travelling
down to his thin lips

"You can't love me...". I say.

"If I can't love you, neither can he". He snarl.
his voice threatening. "I could take your life. All it would take is a flick of the wrist".

I still have my eyes locked at him. "You wouldn't dare". I say in a low tone. I feel his breath along my neck and he leans in to nipple gently.

"If you wanted to kill me, you've done it already". I add, making Loki chuckle. He won't get any fear from me.

"I was just being mild". He defend.

He keeps up his attempt to seduce me. "You can take my body, but you will never
have my soul". I try to stabilize my breathing. I wince in pain "Let me go. You're killing my wrists".

He slowly lifts one hand toward my throat.

"Let her go". Sif say firmly, she is glaring at Loki from his back, pointing her sword
at him.

Loki pulls back and I collapse on my knees. My hands subconsciously starts
rubbing my wrist, trying to soothe the aching pain there.

I feel Loki's eyes gazing down on me, he must notice the bruises. Loki is
about to reach for me when Sif blocks his way with her sword.

"Leave her alone". Sif said sternly to Loki.

His eye filled with emotions, I felt like i could read his mind. 'I did that to her.. I have hurt her'. Loki looks heartbroken and he leaves.

Sif helps me to my feet. "Thank you, Sif". I say softly.

"Are you sure you're alright ?" Sif sounds concerned.

"I'm fine".

She walks me to my chamber. "Sif, could you do me a favor ? Please don't tell Fandral".

"Why? Loki has hurt you. I can't promise you that". She looks torn.

"They will end up killing each other". I say pleading with her.

"But Loki might do that to you again". Sif is fretting.

"Next time I will be more careful". I say, assuring her.

I get in my chamber, and go to pour some cold waters on my wrists. I can feel it
cool down. I wonder how long it will take for them to fade.

How can Loki just turn totally to be like that ? Two days ago, he was just fine and soft towards me. But now he just looked like wanted to kill me.

I picked out a top with long sleeves to and change into it.

There's a knock on my door. And I call out. "Who is it ?"

"The King demands your presence". A guard answers.

"I'm on my way". I call back.

In the throne room, the two sons of Odin is already standing before a few diplomats. "All-father". I greet and bow my head. I keep my gaze low trying not to make eye-contact with the princes.

The king begin talking. "We have achieved the peace agreement between our three realms, Asgard, Vanaheim and Jotunheim. More unnecessary war can be denied. Gratefulness goes to Lady Alina who has come here with her brilliant idea. I am proud
of you, my child". The King smiles at me.

"I believe I was just doing my duty as an advisor and I do not expect any reward
for doing so". I tell him truthfully.

The king nods and everybody looks pleased. Thor smiles at me. I smile back at him. While Loki is just standing there stiffly.

I give the king a small curtsy before leaving. Thor follows me, Loki is trailing behind. Thor pats my shoulder. "I'm also proud of you. You're my brilliant little sister".

He grin as he pulls me into hug. "Thor, I need... to breath". I mumble.

"Whoops , I'm sorry". Thor pulls back.

"She's a Goddess after all." Loki mutters sarcastically from behind him.

"She's what ?" Thor looks at Loki.

I frown at Loki asking. "Who told you ?"

"Frigga" Loki answer, avoiding my eyes.
