The Servant Series (Loki fanfic)

Chapter 2 -Servant or Friend?

Within minutes, Loki went into his room to gather his dagger and a few other supplies. He simply smiled at me as I glared at him, silently telling him to burn himself alive in a pit of snakes.

“You seem happy.” He told me.

“Damn you. Damn you to hell. I don’t know what you’re planning, but I know it’s not good.”

He looked offended as he placed a hand on his heart. “You dare speak to me that way?”

“Cut the crap, Loki.”

He sighed and gave me a sympathetic smile. “Can’t have you telling anyone, darling. Not yet.” With a wave of his hand, I was pushed onto the bed with no mobility and my lips were shut tight.

“Loh-gee! Loh-gee! Le ee gloh!” I yelled the best I could. I was trying to say “Loki! Loki! Let me go!”

He walked over and gently brushed my cheek. He sincerely looked apologetic. “I promise you, things will be better.” He lifted my hand and kissed my fingers, his version of apologizing. My glare still held its hardness, however. “Here. For while we still lay in Asgard, I shall have a projection sent to your mind so it’s like you’re there.” With that, he was gone.

It was several minutes before I was seeing anything. I always hated this magic; it felt like some out-of-body experience (which I suppose it is, but I still don’t like it). I had hands, legs, and everything in between but I passed through people and no one saw me except Loki since he was the one who placed the spell. I looked around to see everyone getting onto their horses. I had to admit…Loki on that horse looked quite…attractive, which caused a light blush to creep to my ears. Based on the look he sent me, he knew.

It’d taken about forty minutes to ride all the way across the long rainbow bridge, and to say they were surprised to see Heimdall was an understatement. They all got off their horses and walked toward the guardian, who held no hint of conforming.

“Leave this to me.” Loki told Thor cockily. “Good Heimdall-”

“You’re not dressed warmly enough.”

Loki looked surprised and a bit afraid. “I’m sorry?”

“You think that you can deceive me? Tell me, how is that maidservant Astrid?” Heimdall looked to where “I” stood.

Loki laughed “I’m sorry? You must be mistaken…”

“Enough.” Thor ordered before stepping in front of Loki. Loki’s eyes turned to me as I smirked with my arms crossed over my chest.

“Good job. Handled that so well.” I told him arrogantly, which caused him to narrow his eyes at me.

“Heimdall, may we pass?” Thor asked impatiently.

“Never has an enemy slipped my watch until this day… I wish to know how that happened.”

“Then tell no one where we have gone until we’ve returned. Understand?” He stalked past the guardian along with the others. Loki was still frozen, though.

“What happened? Silver tongue turned to lead?” Volstagg teased. Loki glanced up at him, still shocked still a bit, before beginning to follow.

“Release the girl.” Heimdall said warningly.

Loki glared. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He hissed before walking off.

After the first phase of the Bifrost was done, Heimdall held one more thing. “Be warned, I will honor my sworn oath to protect this realm as its gatekeeper. If your return threatens the safety of Asgard the Bifrost will remain closed, and you’ll be left to die in the cold wastes of Jotunheim.”
