Life's Downfall (a Loki story)

Chapter 7

~chapter 7!! Yay! Sorry it took so long, it's been really busy at my house lately so I had no time to keep writing. But I'm back now so lets get on with the story! :)~

(Athena's P.O.V)

As I sat there on the bed after Loki left I cried for what felt like hours, when I finally stopped crying I started to think, I have been here for who knows how long and I'm starting to wonder, will anyone ever find me? Are they even looking for me? I wish I knew but sadly I don't.

So being bored, I decided to play around with some magic tricks that my mother taught me and Ellah when we were younger. I began to make illusions of people on the walls of the room. I saw my mother and father standing by our house with younger versions of me and Ellah chasing each other around as my parents laughed and watched us run around in circles.
Another tear slid down my cheek as I watched them. How I missed my parents and Ellah, I hope that someone would find me soon. Then as the illusions faded I thought about Loki.

Loki has been.....interesting lately, occasionally he is nasty and evil but I will sometimes see a look of sadness or pity flash across his face almost as if he wishes he did not do this. I'm not sure about my feelings towards him as he is selfish, conceited, evil, and quite annoying at times but, I find that I do not hate him as I did before. Although I am still quite terrified of him.

But I have found he is quite handsome with his pale ivory skin and longish ebony hair that is slightly curled outwards at the end which I have never realized before and he has very intriguingly deep emerald green eyes that whenever he looks at me I just seem to melt. Wait what am I saying! I hate Loki! He's evil and cruel and...and I think I'm falling for him. This is not good.

Suddenly I heard the door start to open. Oh no, that's got to be Loki, what do I do?? I can't let him know that I think I'm falling for him! I have to act like I still hate him, oh dear Odin help me.

As Loki walked into the room I turned around and faced the wall looking away from him, as to hid my face.

"Hello dear, have you missed me?" Loki said in a haughty voice as I heard him walk towards me. Oh great, I thought, here he is. But yet I couldn't help but feel a little happy.

"It depends," I said

"On what?" he asked as he walked closer looking interested.

"On if I actually cared if you were around but as you are an evil, conceited, bildgesnipe then no I did not miss you and I wish you had never come back," I said forcing out the words still facing the wall. That defiantly hurt to say but I have to keep my feelings a secret, why knows what he would do if he found out?

(Loki's P.O.V)

Well that hurt, I'm not really that mean am I? Since she was facing the wall she missed the look of hurt that flashed across my face, but I quickly changing it back to a look of disdain as she turned around to face me.
Her face was blotchy and covered with tear stains and her eyes where red and puffy. Did I cause that? I thought.

I quickly got rid of that thought. Of course I didn't, its not like she cares about anything I say. Or does she?
No, focus Loki! It's not like she'll ever care about you! What I did next would wreck any chances of it anyways.

"Oh but my dear, I thought we had something special, we have become quite good friends have we not?" I said teasingly while smirking.

"Ha! You wish, you lying little snake!" she spat.

"Well then I guess we might have to fix your manners then little one." I said as I leaned in closer to her face and whispered in her ear.

"And teach you how to act around a prince you little brat!" I yelled as I moved my face from hers and slapped her across the face.

She gasped and held her cheek as more tears flowed down her face.

"Wh-y-y did you do that?" she asked shakily as she cowered on her bed.

"Well "darling" sometimes people have to be taught a lesson and learn when to hold their tongue!" I shouted, "especially in the presence of the future king of Asgard!"

What have I done. I shouldn't have slapped her, I was just overcome by all the emotions that where running through me that I couldn't contain it. Now I have ruined everything.

(Athena's P.O.V)

I quickly wiped my eyes from the tears that were still falling, goodness that man has a good slap, I thought. Anyways back to the point. Pfft him? A king? That would ever happen. I may be falling for him but I'm not stupid, I know that the people of Asgard would never want him on the throne, not after all he's done. So I decided to tell him that, but that might have not been such a good idea.

"You? The king of Asgard? That would be a horrible decision for someone to make. Your not even of Asgard! They would NEVER want a Frost Giant sitting on the throne of Asgard!" I spat while standing up from the bed and going face to face with him even if he was a good foot taller then I was.

A look of shock from my outburst and hurt flashed across his face as he took a step away from me and lowered his head, mumbling something.

"What?" I asked

"I said you are right. They would never want a monster like me on the throne. I was just another stolen relic, lied to and put away until there was a use for me." he said lifting his head slightly as a tear slid down his face.

"Loki.....I'm..sorry, I didn't mean it," I said as I stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder.

I was shocked at myself, wasn't this the horrible monster that I had always heard stories about? He wasn't much older than me but he had done so many horrible things in his life. Many which where probably unforgivable. So why was I showing him compassion?

Maybe it was because I felt bad for him, to be lied to and mislead your whole life would have been a horrible way to live. I might not have had a life like his but maybe with the hope of my perfect life I could help him change his life into something good, something almost...perfect.

~Omg I have feels! Is it weird to have feels from a story that you wrote?? Eh I don't care I still have them!! lol anyways ignore me and my weirdness and please tell me what you thought of it! thx <3~
