Unlike Loki

Chapter 48

(Loki)

I woke up before she did.

She looked so peaceful, so beautiful when she slept. It was as if she was finally free of the burdens she carried. I never wanted her to wake, for if she did, that weight would slam back down on her again.

I carefully moved her arm off of me and placed it on her side. Then, I slid my hand under her head, my fingers entangled in her soft hair, and moved her so that she was laying on a soft pillow instead of my cold heart.

I slowly got up, so that I didn't disturb her in her slumber. I quietly walked over to my wardrobe and changed clothes for the day. Then I walked out, leaving Anna behind locked doors.

(Anna)

When I woke up, he was gone.

I sat up and stretched. Then, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and headed towards the large doors. Once I reached them, I pushed hard agains their surface. They didn't budge. So he was telling the truth. This was my new, but extremely comfortable prison. 

But it was just as boring as any other cell I had been in. 

It was lightly furnished and not much to snoop through. Although I did notice a large wardrobe that hadn't been there before. I slowly walked over to it, as if someone might catch me in the act of looking around. When I opened the heavy doors, I found dresses and scarfs and jackets and shoes. All for a lady. All for me, considering the size of them. They were too small, and too short to be for an Asgardian woman, who usually ran about 6 feet tall. I was a mere 5'5", 5'6" tops. I chose a shimmering sky blue dress and hung it against me. It was simple and soft. There was a shaw type cloth that went with it and boots that were new, but flexible. I decided to go to the washroom to bath extememly quickly and to change into my new clothes, just in case someone came in. 

The water felt wonderful, and I never wanted to get out, but I knew I had to. There was only one towel in the room and I was pretty sure it was the same one Loki had used the night before, which was gross and intriguing at the same time. But it was the only thing to dry off with, so I grabbed it and quickly wiped the water off my body and changed into the impossibly soft clothes. I decided to leave my hair down; it was one of those days. I felt refreshed and good about myselft. I felt a more free than I had in a long time, even if I was still under lock and key. Then, out in the bedroom, I heard a lound noise. It sounded like the doors. I peaked out. Someone was here. 

And it wasn't Loki.
