Make It Right

Ch.28

(Tom's POV)

That may have been one of the worst experiences to happen to me, outside of getting kidnapped by Loki in the first place!

I'm unsure of where my feelings lie. With sky though, how could she just turn on me, her "supposed" friend?

The answer is of course clear, Loki! He's clearly a bad influence on her, and she lets him be, because she love him, and wants to please him.

I knew as soon as he left me hanging there, what his plan was, and who'd it involve.

The pain- I don't even want to talk about! I'd thought she was bad, until Loki's blows came. That's how I figured out it wasn't her in control anymore.

I started to black out. I remember may back feeling like a fire raged upon it. I fell sideways clutching myself, gathering my breath. I just wanted to be unconscious and not give a fuck, and that's what I did.

Next thing I knew I'd been taken to the healers, feeling a million times better, better than even before.

I knew Zach was next, and he probably was in for it much worse than I.

In the end I'm still team Sky and Loki, despite this little hiccup.

I know Sky's sorry, sick, and feels horrible for what she had to do. And well Loki is Loki. I've been trying to stand in his shoes for literally years now, and I'm not one more step closer to understanding him, than the first time I played him in Thor. Still, I cannot help - but love him.

(Zach's POV)

Are they coming? The guards, Loki? or am I to sit here for my "unaswered crimes" for eternity?

What's that...I listen in the silence, and faint footsteps finally fill my ears. Time to play.

That's when I saw him, but I was caught off guard seeing Sky standing behind him with a whip in her hand.

"So...this is what it's come down to I suppose? I figured this much." I said, giving a half grin.

"Oh, I wouldn't be to  shocked Zach, you're been out for my blood ever since I've met Sky!"

Loki started to charge at me and I took a couple paces back from him. Still fists were up and ready. Sky moved in between us. "Loki". She whispered. And he looked down at her with, love?" That was the first time I'd actually noticed that he did care for someone other than himself, and for that brief flitter of a second, that pleased me to know end.

Deep down I'd always loved Sky, and I just didn't realize it until it was to late. Before this I'd always been the one to comfort her, and to care for her. Now, I'm going to be whipped by her man? For what? Protecting her, for him? Typical Loki, to play the "woe is me" card.

"Well, Loki od Ass-gard. I'm not running, or cowering to you anymore. All I want is what was mine from the beginning."

"And what's that?" Loki mocked.

"Her." I pointed my finger directly at Sky.

"Me!?" She gasped! "Zach what are you talking about?"

"Her." Loki laughed. "Don't be ridiculous. She's going to be the one who whips you! You pathetic excusse for a Midgardian." Loki kicked me, but not literaly. He kicked me emotionally. Sky was going to hurt me?

"Don't act so shocked Zach. You did threaten to hurt her if she got in the way, did you not?"

"Yes, but..."

"Well, then whey don't we start? Looks like we beat you to it. No put intended." Loki surpressed a laugh.

(Sky's POV)

"Sky?" He looked at me painfully, but I knew what had to be done. Loki and I could never live in peace as long as Zach tried to come between us. We would never be happy.

I thought back to all the times we'd laughed and joked. "My best friend." Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I knew this wouldn't be just a punishment. It'd be permanent. I thought back to the beginning before Loki, how excited we were to come to London for the first time to see the knew Loki movie, for it only to be a trap. Our lifes changed.

The whip fell. "I can't do this. This isn't who I am." I ran to Zach and lifted his face up to meet my gaze. "You will always be my friend, but I can't change all this, or how I feel for Loki now." And before I could finish, Loki had hit him with the whip from behind. Zach, pushed me back and I flew into the wall. I heard a "Sky No!!!" coming from both sides, as Tom came running towards me.  I was trying to avoid being unconscious, but I'd hit my head hard. "Tom, my head...it hurts."

"I know, I know. Shh, you'll be alright." Tom's voice became farther and farther away and before I knew it, I was out.
