A Changed Man (A Loki fan fiction)

The Prison (2)

Loki's POV:

"Father, hang on!" he kept pounding on the door. 

"It wont work... You need the.." I pointed to the guards, not being able to remember the name of whatever was required. 

Chris looked at the guard and pulled him up and shoved him against the door. "Where!? The keys!?" he yelled. 

"Around his neck... a dagger like structure, smash the glass with that!" Sigyn shouted. "Quick!"

Chris took it and smashed the glass. It didnt crack or fall, just disappeared. "Father! We have to get out of here, before they raise the alarm!" his panicked voice only confused me. He picked me up easily and draped my left hand on his shoulder and put his right arm on my waist to keep me up. "Can you walk at all?"

"I can help...!" Sigyn waved from her cell. 

"Who is that?" Chris asked while helping me down the stairs. 

"Sigyn. I suppose you could help her too."

She smiled brightly. Chris, with his left hand, hit the dagger on the glass and it disappeared. She ran down and caught me on the other side. "I know another way..." she said. She led us to the back and down some slippery stairs, but we out in the open. The cold hit my cuts and I lost the strenght in my knees. 

"HEIMDALL!" 

The bifrost opened up and we were sucked through it... It felt like a million pins jabbed every one of my cuts over and over again. I never travelled like this before. After reaching the other side, I dropped to the floor...

*****

I woke up in the warmth of my room, my cuts almost invisible and the pain gone. But it was still hard to sit up. 

"Dont try..!" 

I looked around the room and saw Sigyn. "I was left to take care of you." she said.

"Take care how!? You killed your brother."

"I was a healer."

I shifted uncomfortably in my bed. "Were you offered a post in the palace?"

"Yes, My Lord!" she smiled.

"Im not your Lord..." I frowned. Only Danielle called me that. In bed.

"What am to call you?"

"Prince. And I wish to be left alone...."

"My instructions are to remain here, Prince." 

I sighed. This wasnt going to work. 

"You were calling your wife's name in your sleep." she said. I stared at her. "No, not in.. that way... it was as if you're trying to save her. It sounded like you were crying." 

"She's with Thor in Midgard."

"I know, you said that too."

The doors flew open and Mimir walked in. Sigyn bowed. 

"Leave us alone, Sigyn."

She walked out and closed the doors gently behind her. "Well, she listens to you."

"I do hope you know what your actions could have done if you hadnt escaped. They could use you as ransom in return for all nine realms."

"That's all I am, God of Knowledge." I said mockingly. "Ransom, going back and forth."

"You could have asked their whereabouts to me. Or Heimdall."

"Im back safe now... And I need to know about Danielle and Thor."

"They are alive and well." 

I sighed and put my head back. 

"And Chris is back in Valhalla."

I shot up straight. "YOU got him out!?"

"It was needed. Now.. Rest." he walked out. 

"I have to go to Midgard! I have to see Danielle!" 

He was already out. Sigyn entered with water. 

"Oh leave me be..." I buried my head in my pillow. She set the tray down with a thud and I heard her hum softly and open the balcony doors. 

Obviously she was keeping to her orders not from me.
