Chapter 6: News & Frustration & Fear

Knocks came down on the chamber door, waking Loki up. He groaned loudly in my ear to which woke me up. I pried my eyes opened and peeked out from Loki's arm.

"Loki, my son. Are you awake yet?" Frigga's voice said softly from behind the door. I jumped scrambling out the bed.

Loki untangled us from the sheets.

"Just a minute mother!" He called back, before turning towards me.

"Hurry up get your clothes and get in the bathroom." Loki hissed quietly and I scurried.

He didn't want to have his mother to see me in the bed with him and it was the same for me. I got into the bathroom and was about to change when I heard Frigga enter.

"Good morning, mother." Loki said.

"Did I wake you?" She asked.

"Oh no, I was already awake." He replied. I peeked out to see Frigga sitting on the messy bed.

"Did Thor give you the news yet?" Frigga said.

"About the trial? Then yes."

Frigga chuckled, grasping his hand.

"No, Loki. It has nothing to do that. The throne is being handed down to your brother." Frigga said. Coronation. I watched Loki's expression change.

"Great, absolutely amazing." He said, sarcasm dripping in his voice. Frigga grabbed Loki, embracing him.

"Your time will come, my son." Frigga kissed his forehead. "Come and join me for tea today, bring Elizabeth with you."

I smiled when mentioned my name. She got up and left him. I came out after I changed and jumped onto the bed. Loki didn't look at me, cupping his face in my tiny hands and making him look at me.

"I'm sorry, about the throne and Thor." I said.

The green eyes flickered up to me, almost threatening tears to spill. Loki grabbed and held tightly to me, flipping us. I was pressed against pillows, Loki laid in between my legs, his head on my stomach and holding me tightly.

"It was always about him, of course he's going to get the throne. He's the golden son." Loki spat out angrily. I ran my hands through his hair.

"Loki, you do know that the oldest would receive the throne first unless they refused it right?" I asked.

Loki looked confused then shook his head. "No."

"It will be fine, okay. Would you rather have the throne and a lot of duties or be with me and having less?" I questioned. Loki glanced at me, thinking of the correct answer.

"When you put it like that-"

"Pick one."

"Fine, I rather have you." He sighed, not looking at me.

I rolled my eyes at his stubbornness before crawling out of his grasp.

"I am going to get breakfast." I said, and started for the chamber door. The door slammed shut and there was a click, a lock clicking shut. I whipped around to face Loki.

"Loki!" I exclaimed, what came over him? The corner of his lip curled up at my shock before he walked towards me. In 5 large steps, he stood before me and slid his arms around my waist. Loki bent his head down, his lips tickling my ear.

"He is out there, he is waiting for you to come down that hallway so he can seize you when I am not there." He whispered in my ear.

I shivered at the thought. "Tyr."
