Before His Fall

13

I sat on the floor with Loki and the boys while Micheal and Thor sat on the other side if the room.

Odin walks in with Queen Louisa who is carrying my mother's crown. I smile as I see it. I stand up and walk over. Odin takes it and places it upon my head as I smile wide.

"Queen Rocky of Volkheim. I do hope we have the chance to merge the kingdoms one day," Odin says. I blush knowing that means me marrying Loki. We all walk to the planning room. Narfi and Vali sit on the table in front of me. Loki sits directly on my left with Micheal across from him. Odin takes opposite to me. I smile as I slip into the royal seat. Queen Louisa is beside Micheal and Thor is beside Loki. The puppies are sitting under the corner of the table between Loki and I. While Odin and Queen Louisa discuss what should happen Narfi and Vali notice mine and Loki's necklaces.

"Why do you two have matching necklaces?" Narfi asks.

I smile, "Because we are together."

"What tha mean?" Vali says. I smile at his childish manner pronunciation. His three year old mind make me smile too much.

"It means we hug and kiss. And stuff like that," I say. Loki smiles as I talk to them.

"Ew! Cooties!" they yell making me groan and giggle. I pull Vali into my arms and kiss his face over and over again. He yells for help acting like it torture. I giggle as Narfi tries and pull him out of my grip but I just pull him in as well.

Micheal looks over at Loki then back at me. Then back to Loki. "Why?" he asks Loki.

"Hm?" Loki says.

"You are a prince of Asgard. And yet you chose Rocky?" he says. I act like I'm not listening even though I totally am.

"She is fun. She doesn't care what anyone thinks yet still is able to build off what they think. She knows how to fight yet she prefers to read or draw instead of stab everything. She is trapped in a royal life...yet so free," Loki says. I smile and blush while playing with the princes.

Micheal smiles. "You should see how she is when she is out of the palace. In the woods nearby... you never would think she is a princess. In her cave place... she is just amazing. She is the only family I have. And yet... I am so comfortable with letting you take her away from here. Just because of her smile."

"Her smile?" Loki asks.

"She never smiled like she does now. She never wore flowers in her hair. Never walked through town without crying. But yet... her smile is the most noticeable part of her. She doesn't even notice when she starts smiling. She just does. I have barely seen her for a two hours now and she has been smiling the whole time."

Loki looks proud as I look up at him. Narfi and Vali climb back on the table. "Rocky! Can I do your hair?" Narfi says. I nod and slip the flower out, let down my hair and scoot forward so he can stand in the chair behind me. He starts doing my hair.

"Queen Rocky. We should throw a ball!" Queen Louisa says. I squeal. "Do you know anyone who ca help plan it? You kids should be able to run around for now?"

I think for a second, "My uncle and aunt plan the parties for Volkheim. If told to by a higher authority," I look at Odin slightly, "they will do it." Micheal groans at the mention of them.

"Bad idea," Micheal says. "They are control freaks. And perfectionist."

"Ignore him. He's just mad because they hate his boyfriend," I say. Micheal has been dating a village boy named Robert for two years. Robert's sister is my best friend, Lisa. Their cousin, Donna is my only other friend. She is dating my ex-boyfriend Lucas. Who still is around us and has a mutual agreement of hate with me. "I can run down to the village and send him up to the castle while also running off to go have fun with my friends," I say. They nod. I glance back at Narfi who nods and I hand him the flower which he slips in my hair. I motion for everyone to follow. Odin and Queen Louisa go back to planning.

I pull my brothers to a huge wardrobe and pull out two outfits to get them out of those trashy rags. I point to a vacant room then to another and both boys run off. Loki smiles at me, "You're so adorable when you're with them," he says.

I smile, "I missed having little brothers to tease and play around with. Being a goddess of chaos means causing chaos. Having little brothers makes it fun." They run out looking like the princes they are. I pick up Vali and he smiles.

We all walk to the door and start to the village. Micheal is trying not to run off to Robert's. Vali and Narfi are playing with the dogs as we walk. I adjust my crown as we make it to the village. Loki wraps his arm around me. There are gasps as they see the crown on me knowing it means I'm queen. We make it to my uncles.

Micheal opens the door to his hateful home, "Mother?! Father?!" he calls as he enters. They walk out and look disgusted at all of us. They see Loki's arm around me and looks judgmental over everything. They look repulsed by their own son.

"What do you want?" my aunt says.

I smirk, "Don't you know to kneel to your queen, the princes of Volkheim, and the princes of Asgard? Wouldn't want the Alfather to hear you disrespected his sons and his youngest son's girlfriend," I say coldly. I hate them. But... they do have sense. The kneel to us. I smirk and soon allow them to rise. "Head to the castle. You have a job," I say and turn and leave.

I smile the widest small as the run off to the castle. Loki was out and looks at me," That... was incredible," he says. I smile and Micheal runs off. I follow him wanting to see Lisa and Donna. Everyone follows us. I see Robert, Donna, Lisa, and even Lucas sitting on a bench. I grab Micheal's hand and point to them. Then run and hug the girls.

"Hey, loser," Lucas says. Loki glares.

"Hey, jerk," I reply as I pull away from the hug. "Guess who has a boyfriend," I whisper to the girls then glance over at Loki. They squeal. Loki looks at me confused and weirded out.

Donna looks him up and down, "So... You're dating our girl?" Lucas looks surprised when Loki nods.

Lucas looks at me, "You went from me to the prince of Asgard?" he says.

"You went from the princess and now Queen of Volkheim to a normal citizen of Volkheim," I say then look at Donna, "No offense." I say. She nods.

Loki looks slightly uncomfortable with my ex seating so close by. "Well, I'm Lisa. Rocky's best friend," Lisa says.

"I'm Donna. Her actual best friend," Donna says. They always argue over this.

"I'm Lucas. Her ex and most hated citizen. I'm Donna's boyfriend" Lucas says. Loki nods.

Robert and Micheal join the real world again and I explain everything. Robert starts, "So... Rocky is queen now?" I nod, "And is princess of Muspel?" I nod again. "And is dating Loki?" I nod a third time. "And the Alfather is here?" I nod a forth time. "And Loki has said he loves you?" I nod a fifth time. "And you said you love him?" A sixth time. "And Thor knows this?" Me and Thor both nod. "An-"

"And Thor is single?" Lisa says. I giggle at my friend.

"Lisa! He's a god and a prince!" Micheal yells to her.

"So? Rocky is a goddess and a queen. She still loves me!" I am practically dying of laughter as I look at her.

"You are not allowed to date, Lisa! Especially not Thor!" I say. She huffs in anger. Thor is laughing with me. We are very protective over her. She is an angel. We can't have her getting hurt.

"Back to the topic at hand," Robert say. "And Loki has kissed you... In front of the Alfather?" Loki kisses me before I can nod. Making my friends go crazy. I end up hugging up to him hiding my blush.
