Hushed (loki fanfiction)

The forest (Chapter 8)

Leana's POV

"How do you suppose we get out of Asgard without anyone catching us?" He said, his voice was smooth and had a heavy British accent.

"Do you know sorcery?" I asked him, he nodded. "Well, I kinda know a bit, and I read about how you have the ability to clone yourself," I explained.

"Ah yes, but I don't have my mouth sewn shut anymore," he murmured. I thought for a moment. "Wait, can you morph into other things and people?" he nodded,  "So, can't you morph into yourself when you did have stitches?" I suggested.

"Yes I can..." he mumbled, he seemed uncomfortable with the idea of morphing back into that. I gave him a small smile and said, "It's okay. We can think of a different way, I'll find a way out of here,"

Suddenly Loki looked up, his demeanour changing. He looked mad, he glared at me.

Jeez, this guy's mood swings are all over the place.

He looked at me, his eyes dark and dangerous. "Loki?" I started to back away. 

"You never told me why you chose to break me out of my cell, mortal. Why are you trying to help me when I could so easily kill you right here, right now." he growled, "I am clearly way more powerful and stronger than you. Your wrists still haven't fully healed since our first encounter." He said glancing down at my bandaged wrists. 

"I am not a mortal! And I-" 

"You are far too small to be a Frost Giant." he interrupted. I glared at him, "Well, you aren't exactly what I would expect a Frost Giant to be either." I shot back. 

He glared at me, "You dare speak to a god like that!" he stood up towering over me, I stood up as well.

 "I will speak to you however I would like to, you're majesty!" I bowed mockingly.

I saw him contemplating whether he would slap me again, but he decided against it. Instead this time he shot his hand out grabbing me by my neck and lifting me off the ground.

 I clawed at his hand and struggled, I tried gasping for air. "As I said before, I could so easily kill you right here, right now." He growled. 

"Well, I'm sorry for t-trying to help!" I managed to choke out. He didn't say anything back. I was nearing unconsciousness when suddenly he let go of me, I collapsed on the ground and coughed. My body was too tired from everything that's been going on, I couldn't help but let sleep take over.

Loki's POV

When she stopped struggling and her eyes began to droop I immediately let go of her as she collapsed to the ground, she coughed and gasped for a few minutes before letting herself fall asleep. I slumped down in front of her and let my eyes study her.

She was very petite, that's why I don't really believe she is a Frost Giant, but then again, I'm not exactly a giant either. I don't understand why but, I felt we had a strong connection. She reminded me of myself, she was a trickster, she has beautiful green eyes and long raven black hair, she is stubborn, and she acts tough when really she is soft inside.

And whenever I look into her eyes it's like she is in pain, but doesn't wanna admit to it, just like me... I looked at her again feeling horrible that I kept hurting her when all she has been doing for me is helping me. I lifted myself up off the ground and began searching for logs to create a fire.

Leana's POV

I finally woke up from my nap, feeling a little better already since I had let my body rest. I looked around, when I didn't see Loki anywhere I began panicking. "Loki?" I whispered. The sun was going down and I didn't doubt that during the night there would be some dangerous creatures.

 I stood up and looked around, suddenly I heard a twig snap from behind me. I bent down and picked up the scissors, I spun around holding out the scissors as a weapon, but no one was there. "You can put the scissors away," Loki walked up behind me holding a bunch of wood and logs, he dropped them on the ground and began setting up a fire.

"You scared me!" I sighed in relief, letting my hands drop to my side. 

"How is it that that scared you, but not the fact that I nearly killed you." Loki hissed.

 "I thought you left me here to die! And why would you care if you killed me? Isn't that what you wanted!?" I fumed.

Loki didn't say anything, he just glared at me and continued to set up the fire pit. "I'm gonna go explore," I told him before storming off into the forest. I wandered into the forest for a while when I came across an abandoned tent, it wasn't too damaged and it was in a big bag. I picked it up and tried finding my way back to Loki before it got too dark outside.

I felt something wet dropping onto my hands, I looked up and saw that It had begun to rain.

"Just my luck," I groaned, I wandered through the forest trying to find my way back. The sun was almost completely down now and I was beginning to panic. I suddenly heard a low growl erupt through the forest. My body shook as I was now on high alert. There was definitely something in the forest with me, and I have no chance against it. 

It had started pouring pretty heavily now and I was getting cold. "L-L-Loki..." I shivered. I heard something run behind me through the bushes. I yelped and spun around, I heard it again but now it was beside me, I kept turning toward the sound and I was now turning in circles. The sound came to a sudden halt and I began crying. I had the bag held close to me but my clothes and hair were soaking. 

I sobbed and prayed quietly that whatever this thing was, would leave me alone. "Loki..." I cried, hoping that in some way he could hear me. "Help me~!" I cried out. I heard a sudden thud from behind me and felt a strong wind blow against my back. 

I froze and slowly turned around to see what was behind me. I turned around and was greeted by a Giant black wolf, it was bearing huge sharp teeth and it had Emerald green eyes. I began hyperventilating as I slowly backed away from the beast. It growled at me causing me to let out a high pitched scream as I turned and ran away.

Loki's POV

Where is she? She should be back by now! It is getting dark fast and who knows what kind of monsters are out there. I shouldn't be worried but I am! 

'Leana, where are you?'  I asked, she didn't answer. Suddenly I heard a high pitched scream echo through the forest, sounding a lot like Leana...

I dropped the wood and made a mad dash in the direction of the scream. 

I could see her footprints a bit so I decided to follow them, I followed the footprints then, of course, either mother nature hates me, or Thor does. The rain had washed them away and now the footprints then came to a stop. I looked around for more clues as to where she was when I spotted something. I walked towards it, It was a tent in a bag. I picked it up and looked around again. I then saw something else. It was moving, I walked over to it and realized that it was Leana.

She was curled up in a ball on the ground, she was covered in mud and she was soaking. She must be freezing. "Leana?" I crouched down. She quickly looked up at me, she was crying. "Leana are you okay?" I worried. She just looked back down and shivered. Her whole body was shaking. It was pouring and cold.

 I put the bag on my back and picked her up, she rested her head on my chest and fell asleep.
