Prophecy of the Woods

Chapter 8

I woke up in the morning, his arms wrapped me. I could tell he was awake by the sound of his breathing.

"Morning." He whispered into my ear.

"Morning," I replied. Last nights' events replayed in my head and I smiled. He might've been thinking something similar because he smirked and kissed my neck.

"I believe I have found a pet." He whispered jokingly. I laughed and he smirked. I suddenly realized that we were both naked and the only thing covering us was the sheets. I blushed and then he laughed.

I started to sit up, but he just pulled me down again.

"Hey!" I called and he grinned.

"I do what I want..." He murmured. His grip was strong and there was no way I was getting out. Unless....

I focused my energy on my tattoos. They began to glow.

"What the..." He started before my tattoos let off a blinding light, stunning him. I jumped up.

"Get back here!" He called as I started to quickly put I clothes on. He jumped up and pulled in his boxers and trousers on.Then he jumped at me and tackled me to the ground. I laughed and he kissed me neck, jaw, and lips.

"Now why would you want to put your clothes back on?" He whined playfully.

I shrugged. "I was getting cold." I answered.

He laughed. "Well you should've said something!" He whispered before kissing me again. I pressed my hands against his bare chest.

"Now you have all your clothes on and I am here in just my boxers and trousers...I feel lonely." He pouted jokingly. We laughed. Suddenly there was a thud from the living room and then loud footsteps coming down the hallway. They stopped at the door to my bedroom.

"Loki, what was that...?" I whispered. He looked at the door but did not move from his position on top of me. The door creaked open. Loki covered me protectively. I was scared. Who was opening the door?

"Brother..." Who ever was behind the door said. "I have to take her back to Asgard." he said. Although Loki was blocking whoever was in the door way from my view, I knew it was Thor. I could feel his eyes watching me, making me slightly uncomfortable.

"Loki, what have you done?" Thor asked quietly.

"What, Thor, are you surprised your brother has feelings?" Loki hissed. "You will not take her from me." he growler. I hid my face. I had a feeling Thor was going to have to force Loki away from me. My prediction was correct. Thor lunged at Loki. I looked away but then heard someone hit the wall. I peeked to see what happened. I looked just in time to see a blue force field fading away, the sourse of energy being my tattoos. Loki looked at me in disbelief. That was not something he had taught me. I looked at Thor groaning against the wall.

"I'm sorry...I-I didn't know I could do that....I'm sorry...." I whispered as I sat up and started to shake. Loki sat up and pulled me close, stroking my hair.

"This is why we train, you are just learning..." he murmured. I nodded shakily and he helped me stand up.

"That can't be comfortable..." I murmured as I looked at the unconcious Thor. I turned to Loki. "Should we bring him to the couch...?" I asked quietly. Loki nodded. He probably didn't want to but, we couldn't just leave him there. We walked over to him and tried to move him. He was pretty heavy. I bit my lip. This wouldn't be easy. Suddenly, an idea came to me. I closed my eyes and focused on strengthening myself. It worked. I lifted Thor up easily, Loki did have to help because Thor was much bigger than I was.

We finally got him to the couch. It was defiantly not easy. Damn Thor was heavy.

I trudged into the kitchen and started to make my self a snack. I was hungry and my burning tattoos were not helping. I heard Loki sigh from behind me. I looked at him, he still didn't have a shirt on.

"They're burning again aren't they?" He asked quietly. I nodded and looked away. I heard him sigh again.

"You have to tell when they do burn. I need to know...okay?" He said. I nodded.

"It's getting worse...I can't sleep..." I whispered. It hurt and it kept me up. I tried to take pain killers, but they don't work. Not on this. He folded his arms around me and I hugged him back.

"It's going to be okay..." He whispered as I buried my face into his chest. Suddenly, we hear a loud groaning come from the living room. I let go of Loki and peeked into the living room. Thor was trying to push himself up. He sat up and before I could duck into the kitchen he spotted me.

"What did you do? How?" Thor asked as he stood up and walked briskly toward me. Loki stepped in between me and him.

"Brother move, this must be done." Thor said seriously.

"No. She did not know what she was doing. We are training." Loki stated and I hid behind him. Thor growled and looked like he would attack Thor.

"Stop. I am going no-where, so deal with it." I said glaring at Thor and moving so I was no longer behind Loki.

"Fine. But, brother I am telling you this. We will come for her. Do not think that you can keep her from us." Thor said before stepping on to the terrace and disappearing into a beam of light.
