Chapter 15
6 months, that's how long it would take for them to fix the bifrost; as for Loki, he had been placed on temporary house arrest until a date could be set for the trial that would decided his fate. I had been here for over a week, and Chloe was already bugging me to get out and explore while I was here; to the point that she had nearly gotten us both in trouble when she had been caught in the vault under the palace.
" Is it physically impossible for you stay out of trouble?" I asked as we made our way down the hallway of the palace.
" Well I am your rebellious persona, so yes, yes it is." Was her response and I let out a sigh. " Why can't you go bug Loki, nothings stopping you?" I said turning on her, and she rolled her eyes. " I may be my own separate person now, but I still need your presence to fully manifest."
" Doesn't seem to stop you during your late night schemes." I pointed out, before pushing open the nearest door, entering my room. " After 5 years of watching you drool all night, it gets kind of boring having no one to talk to."
" I do not drool." I said plopping down on the edge of a seat.
" Yes you do, and you snore too." She said and I gave her a look. The door opened to reveal the queen of Asgard, Frigga, and Chloe vanished. " I hope I didn't interrupt anything."
" No, no, Chloe was just-" I was cut off as a random vase came flying toward me, and hit the wall over the fireplace, which was followed by a round of laughter. " CHLOE." I cried, and she went quite. This hadn't been the first one she had broken,
" At least the potters are keeping busy." Frigga said with a smile, and I smiled back in response. When I had first met her, I could tell right away where Loki got his personality from; the side he hid from everyone. " Lunch is about to be served, would you walk me?" She asked and I nodded before hurrying after her, as she disappeared out the door. " Have you visited the library?" she asked and I shook my head. " No, I've been to busy trying to keep Chloe out of trouble." I admitted.
" Would you mind joining me after lunch then?" She asked as we reached the door to the dining area, but my answer caught in my throat at the sight of Loki eating alone. " I'm sorry, but I forgot something." I said before I turned and started back down the hall. Chloe appeared as I turned the corner, blocking my path. " What are you doing?" she asked in confusion.
" I wasn't hungry." I lied before trying to go around her, only to have her step back in my way. " You've been avoiding him since we got here, why?"
" Your in my head all day long; why can't you just give me five minutes of peace."
She gave me a look before disappearing, and I let out a sigh before I started back down the corridor.

" Can't we do something else?" Chloe asked as I looked through the shelves of books around us, while she sat on a chair at the center of the room with her legs thrown over the arm. " What are you looking for anyway?"
A way to get rid of you
" Now that was just rude." Chloe said and I rolled my eyes, before looking between two book when I heard the door of the library open. Chloe teleported next to me, and we shared a look. " I think the queen set us up." Chloe whispered as we watched Loki look around the library with a frown. " Yep." I mumbled
" I can hear you, you know." Loki called out and I made a face before stepping out from behind the shelf, my eyes scanning over the books that lined the nearest shelf. " And no, I was not aware that you were in here." He added and I rolled my eyes but before I could walk away, Chloe appeared on the opposite side of the shelf with an annoyed look on her face. " Stop being stubborn." She told me. Obviously not seeing her, Loki started to walk along the shelves of books on the other side. " Tell him." She said and I gave her a look before letting out a sigh.
" Thank you." I told him and he stiffened before turning to look at me in confusion. " For pointing me in the right direction, I guess."
" As I told you before Aria, we are not so different." He smiled. " Were things different, we really might have been friends." He told me before he disappeared around the shelf.
