What if the dragons of Asgard weren't actually large scaly beasts like what the legends say? What if they looked just like regular Asgardians but with greater power than even the king himself? What if they were even more beautiful than gods and godd...
The invitation said to wear formal attire, mostly gowns for women and suits for men. I already bougth a dress that I thought would be fine but once I put it on I felt a little shy. The gown was long and it was a turquoise color with gems decorating the waist. I put my purple hair up in an elegant bun with braids on the side and I put on some light make up just to make sure I didn't look like a zombie. After everything was on, I started to second guess myself.

I didn't have time to change so I just had to deal with it. *Knock Knock* "I'm coming!" I said as I tried to walk to the door in heels. When I opened the door, I saw Loki wearing an all black suit with a sharp green tie. "Wow...where did you get that suit so fast?" I asked as I stared at him from head to toe, he even slicked his hair back. "You look...beautiful" he whispered as I then noticed that he was staring back at me. I felt a little embarassed and I absentmindedly tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear. What the hell is wrong with me?!
"R-really? I-I think this dress is too long and I think my hair is a mess and- Woah!" he grabbed my hand then began to twirl me around, he caught me by my waist then we started to sway from side to side, his hand was intertwined with mine, his other hand was around my waist and my other hand was resting on his shoulder. I tried desperately not to trip. "These stupid heels..." I mumbled as I looked at the ground to make sure I didn't step on his foot. He briefly let go of my waist to lift my chin up then he stared into my eyes with a weird look in his. "You look perfect in my eyes. Don't worry, all you need to do is focus on me" he whispered and I felt tingles go down my spine. There's definitely something wrong with me.
"Shall we go to the ball, my princess?" he said and I nodded with a warm feeling in my cheeks. "You better be home before curfew!" Tony said before we boarded the car Jackson sent. "We'll try!" I yelled back as the car sped away. "Hey! Wait a minute! Come back!" I heard Tony yell before he was too far away to hear. We dorve for a while until we were at the hotel the party was held in. Small company party my foot, since when did his father ever organise something small?
It was being held at the famous Plaza Hotel. The driver dropped us off at the main entrance and we were escorted to the event hall. It was a beautiful and elegant looking event with several of the companies employees wearing formal attire. Even Jackson was wearing a suit with a white shirt underneath and a red tie and he had his hair tied. I felt really nervous, I've never been in a room with so many people before. I felt Loki wrap his arm around my waist which made me flinch. "Remember what I told you...all you have to do is focus on me" he whispered and it calmed me down. I looped my arm around his and we walked into the event. All eyes were on us when we walked in and I felt myself shrink under the many gazes. I could hear them whispering amongst themselves.
"Don't worry...I'm right here" he whispered to my ear again and I let out a shaky breath to try and calm myself down. "Champagne madame?" a waiter offered and I politely declined "I-I don't drink" I said and the waiter nodded then left. We both sat at a table and the party eventually started. There were a couple of speeches from the owner of the company then speeches from all of the managers of all of the branches then it was finally time to dance. "Alright men, now is the time for you to ask your lucky lady to dance" the DJ yelled. "Andrea, Will you be my lucky lady and give me the honor of having this dance with you?" Loki said, standing up from the table and stretching his hand out to me. I giggled but I eventually took it. "I'm glad you asked" I smiled. He pulled me closer then the music started.
(Play Song)
We danced like how we did back at the tower. I didn't feel nervous at all despite all the stares we got from the other people. "See...you're doing great. Just focus on me" Loki said with a gentle smile as he took the lead. We twirled and swirled and it felt like we were the only people in the room. I felt all of my anxiety melt away as he spun me around then caught me and even if I stumbled, he didn't seem to care and we both just laughed, not caring about the others. All throughout the whole dance, I never stepped on his foot, not even once and the heels didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore because I wasn't afraid to fall. I wasn't afraid to fall anymore because I knew something now. I knew that he would always catch me.
The song eventually ended, which kind of made me sad and we returned to our table. "Stay here and wait for me...I'll go get us some food" he said then he did something unexpected. He kissed my forehead and I felt myself blush madly. That sly guy, he knows just how to annoy me. I tried to hide my blushing face so that people wouldn't notice. "Wow...is that blush for me, honey? You shouldn't have, I'm quite flattered" an unfamiliar voice said. A guy had taken his seat across from me and he had a disgusting smile on his face while the scent of alcohol remained in his breath. He was drunk.
"S-sir...you are in the wrong table" I mumbled as he moved closer to me. I felt uncomfortable, he wasn't an enemy that I could just get rid off with brute force. He was simply just another human. I stood up and tried to walk away but he grabbed my wrist and spun me around. "Where are you going sweetheart? I'm not done with you..." the smell of his breath disgusted me. His other hand was on my back and it slowly slid down to my butt. I felt shivers creep up my spine and it wasn't in a good way. "Let go of me you creep!" I screamed and I struggled. He looked annoyed then he pulled me closer and forced his lips on mine.
I pushed him off as I felt my eyes turn red under my glasses and I could feel my claws threatening to appear. I wanted to tear this lowly human apart but I knew that I couldn't reveal my true identity to these humans or to Loki. "Hehehe...your lips tasted delicious~" he licked his lips and I shivered in disgust. A flash of black passed by my eyes and before I even knew it, Loki was throwing punches at the guy. "How dare you do that to her! You lowly human! How dare you touch what is mine!" he kept screaming as he kept throwing punches at the guy. He's going to kill him, I have to stop him. I grabbed Loki's arm and I tried to pull him away. "Loki! Stop!" his skin started to turn blue and I could hear him growling. "Loki! Stop, please. Don't kill him!" I yelled and he finally stopped. The guy was unconcious and Loki looked at me with both anger and sadness in his now red eyes.
"Loki..." I mumbled. "Why did you stop me?" he said. "Why did you stop me? Did you actually care for this man? He deserved it. If I'm not mistaken, you actually liked it"
"Loki...that's not it. I just didn't want you to..."
"To what? Kill him? Hah! That man deserved far worse than what I gave him because of what he did to you. Maybe you didn't want me to interfere after all. I'm sorry I got in between the two of you. You two should go back to what you were doing" he said before storming out of the room. "Loki! Wait!" I yelled after him, trying to run faster to catch up to him but I was stopped by Jackson holding my arm. "Let me go! I have to go after him!" I yelled as I struggled to break free of Jackson's strong grip. "Andrea, he's dangerous. Let him be, you might get hurt!" Jackson reasoned but I managed to break free of his grip. "You're wrong about him" I said before I left the room. The whole time I was running, the words he spoke kept replaying in my ears. No...you're wrong. I just didn't want you to hurt yourself. I just didn't want you to add another death to your already heavy burdens. Please...don't go. I'm sorry.
I ran out of the hotel and before I descended the steps, I threw my heels away so that I could run faster. I looked everywhere for him but I eventually collapsed from exhaustion. I sat on a curb, feeling warm tears flow out of my eyes. "I'm sorry...please don't hate me. Loki~" I whispered to myself as I cried my eyes out. "Please...don't leave me all alone..." then suddenly everything began to spin, my vision began to get blurry and I felt my body go numb. I was soon consumed by the darkness.
