Hushed (loki fanfiction)

Is This Love? (Chapter 9)

Leana's POV

I woke up feeling warm and comfortable, I sat up and looked around. I was in a nice cozy tent. This was the tent I had found before I got lost, the last thing I remember was Loki picking me up and feeling safe and warm being close to him.

I tried sitting up, "Please, you need rest." I didn't even notice Loki was laying down on a bed a few feet beside me. "What happened?"

"You went to explore the forest, It started raining, you hadn't come back for a while so I went to look for you, I then found you on the forest ground crying." He explained, suddenly my memories came crashing in and I remembered about the wolf incident. I sat there staring at Loki as if I had seen a ghost. "Are you alright?" He asked softly, I nodded my head slowly. 

"May I ask why I heard your scream echo through the forest?" he asked me, I blinked and snapped back into reality. I swallowed and began explaining, "I was searching around for anything useful when I saw this tent in a bag, It started getting dark and I was trying to find my way back. Then it started raining... That's all I remember," I lied. He narrowed his eyes at me, "What else happened," He asked in an icy tone. "I told you, that's all I remember," I lied again.

"You cannot lie to me, Leana. I know that there are creatures that lurk in this forest, there is no way you went out there and came back unharmed. Now tell me the truth," he demanded. I sighed, "I was getting cold and I couldn't find my way back, that was when I heard something growling. I went on for a few more minutes until the creature that was growling decided to finally show itself," I explained, "It was some kind of giant wolf... It had huge sharp vangs and Green eyes. That was when I screamed and began running, but the beast was really fast..." I shifted uncomfortably and winced in pain when I turned my torso.

Loki's eyes glanced down at my stomach then back at me, his eyes still narrowed. "Do you mind showing me your stomach?" he asked curiously. I was still laying down on the bed since he wouldn't allow me to sit up yet. "Why?" I quipped, narrowing my eyes at him. "Leana, just do as I say." He said in a stern voice. I sighed and reached down, lifting up my shirt halfway letting it reveal my stomach. I winced as the fabric rubbed against my stomach. Loki stood up and walked over to me, his eyes searching my stomach. He could see that I had been bitten by the beast to the left of my belly button. 

Loki came over to my side to inspect the bite, "I'll be right back, don't move," he said as he left the tent. A few minutes later Loki came back with a bowl of water, "Where did you get the bowl?" I asked, "I used my magic to make it, just like I used my magic to make this bed," he said pointing to the bed I was laying on, I nodded. He walked over and set the bowl down next to me. He flicked his wrist, quickly making a small cloth appear in his hand. "This might sting a bit," He warned me, but before I got to say anything he dipped the cloth in the water and then pressed it on the bite wound.

I cried out in pain and tried to move away from the cloth but he put his hand on my stomach, pushing me back down and making it so I couldn't escape. "Loki, stop!" I pled, but he ignored me and continued. He finished cleaning the blood up and then made the cloth disappear. I sighed with relief now that the pain was over. 

 "I need you to close your eyes and relax for me," he told me, I gave him a puzzled look but did it anyway. I closed my eyes and tried to let my body relax. "This is probably going to hurt a bit," He said, my eyes shot open and I was about to protest but it was too late as he pressed down on the wound with the palm of his hand. "Ouch! Loki why are you doing that!?" I exclaimed. "Just relax," He hissed. I swallowed and tried my hardest to relax and ignore the pain. I watched as a gold light appeared under Loki's hand. 

He pulled away a few seconds later, I sighed and looked down to see my wound, except this time It was no longer there anymore. I let my hands feel around my stomach, searching for any kind of wound. I looked at Loki with awe. "How did you..." "I know magic, remember?" he said.
