"What are you going to do to me?" Hela asked.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to help you with your powers. If you cooperate, nothing bad will happen to you. If you don't, you will suffer the consequences and your father will never see you again." Malekith replied.

"But, you can't unleash my power. It's too dangerous. I don't want to kill people." Hela said shakily.

"You will obey my orders, Hela. You are in my possession now and what I say goes. You will learn to control it with my help and then I shall go wage darkness over the nine realms using you and the aether." Malekith explained.

"What if I don't want to?" Hela asked.

"That's not an option because you will do this for me." Malekith replied.

Heal was then picked up by Kurse and he pushed Hela to follow Malekith.

"Now, we shall begin your lesson." Malekith said.

Hours passed and Hela was still not able to unleash her power. Malekith even used his own methods to try and get it out of her.

"Maybe, since I never learned it at a young age, my body kind of, just forgot about it." Hela said softly.

"Nonsense! You will do it and I don't care if you will try until the day you die." Malekith exclaimed.

Hela inhaled sharply and knew that if she didn't do this, she would die at his hand. She couldn't let him do that and she wanted to see Loki again. More hours passed and Malekith was growing restless. Kurse brought out a small plant and handed it to Hela.

"Touch one of the leaves and concentrate, Hela. I am getting impatient. The nine realms will all be in line tomorrow and I need you ready  by tomorrow." Malekith told her.

Hela put her finger on one leaf and closed her eyes. She channeled all her energy into making the plant die, but only to make Malekith stop. Minutes passed and Hela knew Malekith was angry. Then, she felt a slight prick on her finger and opened her eyes. She looked down at the plant and gasped. She found that it was wilting away. Malekith slowly clapped and Hela looked at her hands.

"Now, to ensure that you can do it again, Kurse, bring one of them in." Malekith said.

"Them? As in a person?" Hela asked.

Malekith didn't reply and Hela started to cry.

"Don't cry Hela. It will all be over soon." Malekith told her.

Hela wiped her tears away and almost screamed when she saw a Dark Elf enter the room.

"I can't kill him." Hela said.

"It will be quick and painless. He is dying for a great cause." Malekith told her.
