The Saviour (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 57 Old Enemy, New Ally

Scarletts POV

When I open my eyes, Valhalla wasn't my new destination as I originally thought. Escaping death is becoming a speciality of mine but I didn't think I would escape it this time. I thought I was dead so how the hell am I breathing?

Slowly I sit up and I'm still in Asgard and the palace. I'm in one of the towers of the palace that hasn't been habited in decades. Did the Enchantress bring me here? Why would she of all people save me? Betraying Thanos and risking her life in the process.

I flick my wrist and its glows brightly, I still have my magic. But I feel slightly weaker.

"I had to take some of your magic, to keep up the ruse up, so to speak."

I look up to see The Enchantress herself standing in the room with her usual cockish grin on her face.

She smiles, "Don't worry, I only took enough to keep Thanos in the dark, your magic will restore in hours."

"Ok, I am beyond confused. The last time I saw you, you left me to burn in a cottage and Loki along with it. Now you come back as Thanoss ally, and then what? Fake my death? What are you up to Enchantress?"

She chuckles, "Those were good times and if it helps, I knew Loki would save you." I roll my eyes as she continues, "I am no ally of Thanos. He found me and turned me into his puppet, much like Loki was. But I escaped his hold but not his leash. However, when I finally did break free, he was collecting the stones and I knew it was time."

I nod, "Ok, this still doesn't explain why you saved my life?"

"You are the only one who can stop Thanos and bring the infinity war to an end. And you are right, I could have left you to die and let Thanos rule. I could have even left and taken Loki with me as some sort of trophy." She signs, "I couldn't let him kill you and your unborn child."

"Sorry? What did you just say?" I ask, not believing what she just said.

Her eyes widen, "You didn't know? Well I'm not surprised, she has only just been conceived."

A smile spreads across my face, "I'm pregnant, oh my god I'm having a baby... oh god, Loki he doesn't know. Where is he? And the others?"

"Your friends are imprisoned in the dungeons as for Loki and his brother, they are being held in the throne hall. Loki believes you are dead, everyone does and it has to stay that way." She says with a sad smile.

I sign, "I know I need to become stronger to defeat Thanos and I will. But I need to protect our baby."

She speaks up, "I need your help to be out of Thanos grip for good so I propose a deal. I will help you become stronger, protect you and your child. In return, you end Thanos so I am no longer under his thumb."

I take a breath before I stand up and face my old enemy, now ally, "Alright, I will help you defeat Thanos so you can have your freedom. But you must help me get stronger and protect my unborn baby. And if you even think of betraying me, I will kill you."

She smiles at me, "Thank you Scarlett and I won't. I promise you, I will protect you both and do anything to kill that bastard and have my life back."

I nod, "Watch over my friends, keep Thanos in the dark, I'm going to need years to get stronger. And when I am ready, he will die."
