Illuminated.(A Loki Love Story)

Chapter 15

Do you have any idea how annoying to sense a pressence looming over you when you are trying to sleep? Very. my bruises didn hurt me very much. not while i was laying like this, i shifted a little bit more when i felt loki actually get into bed with me. i rolled over on my stomach and cracked an eye to see it was dark except for a lit candle in the corner of the room,i felt him nearer to me. he pulled back some hair gently from my ear, i swear to god if he tried some stuff even while he thought i was sleeping i- ''I apologize for the physical pain i've inflicted on you.'' is what he said. my heart lept a bit, no it was actually beginning to do a few backflips. and speaking of hearts it was actually good to know he had one. he moved away from me and shifted. he was laying most likely on his back now. i could have said thank you, but why ruin the moment? i ate breafast with siti in the mainhall we sat by an open erm, window? i guess. ''How're you feeling?'' she asked me. sounded less like siti with every word. ''I'm ok. these bruises will heal.-'' ''Bruises?'' she asked.

i nodded. she sniffed and looked down. ''Ora.'' she began. ''Sorry to come between yet another short renunion but i have i'm afraid i have to steal your cousin for the remainder of the day.'' Loki said behind us. i pat siti's shoulder, i couldnt put my finger on the look in her eyes. she pursed her lips and squinted her eyes. i couldnt tell but i think this is the first time i'd ever seen siti look at someone with...Hate. i'd never seen her look at someone like that. i followed loki, siti walked off towards thor. ''Where are we going?'' i ask him suspiciously, ''Around the kingdom where else.'' he says with a scoff in his voice. i flushed in annoyance. ''Like i was supposed to know that. you keep me locked in that room everyday.'' i said. he looked back at me. ''Is that where you would like to go as of now?'' he asked. i shook my head. ''Then be quiet and greatful.'' he snapped. ok not even I acted this bi-polar, not even when i PMS. i shook my head ''i give up!'' i say. past the gaurds we headed outside. i could see the full golden city of asgard, i didnt get to enjoy it much before loki turned my attention to him, ''You give up on what?'' he asked. i looked up at his face. ''on you right now, the only thing i know about you is what i've read from books ugh. you make me feel like crap and i barely know you.'' i said folding my arms, ''they dont have any books on you in our libraries.'' he said looking down, ''i-wait,what?'' i asked. so he wanted to know about me huh? i sighed as we kept walking i was intrigued by the sights and smells, these were'nt things you got in books, i sighed again. ''Fine.'' i said sharply.~

"what do you want to know?'' she asked me, her face smooth ''How do you know so much about us asgardians, and why didnt you try and run away, ever?'' she raised an eyebrow. ''gosh i hope you have a high attention span, because you're about to get most of my life story.'' i nodded slowly. strange these midgardians are, she twiddled her fingers. ''um. ok my dad was in love with Norse myth-history, my mom, greek. i dont know why, but i always leaned towards norse for some reason, something about the nine realms and i always liked the famous city of asgard.'' she took a breath, was she really that much in love with this place? '' she nodded. ''my side of the family grew up on all of this,siti couldnt care less, my parents were uh-hippies i guess, geeks, they met in college,married,and had me TADA!'' she said with fake enthusiasm,she ran her fingers through her head, ''they started telling me stories as soon as i could walk, Marla,my momma likes greek mythology, i can recite the stories of all the gods and goddesses in my head.

without difficulty.'' i nodded to show i was listening.''We settled down of course,my mom opened her book/inscent shop and dad worked at our town museum.'' ''And your father, he loves the norse?'' her smile faded and she fiddled with her thumbs, ''My mom dad brother and i went to scandanavia to visit the temple of Odin,the allfather. i remember the look on his face, it was so happy,'' she closed her eyes for a brief second. ''i was always a daddy's girl, i loved my dad, when my brother turned three, his department,Which consisted of siti's parents,my dad two supervisors and their boss, were heading to Nova Scotia to retrieve a rare artifact for a new exibit,and the-there was a storm. and the plane crashed, there were no survivors.'' she put her hand on her heart. i started at her. this was probably why she was so hard shelled,stubborn.

''i'm so sorry'' i said, i stared at her. ah, this midgardian girl, there at first,was nothing really special about her, her flushed cheeks, perfect green eyes, almost like mine but somehow brighter, her graceful movements, Damn her! i was a god. why am i thinking about her like this? a human?! ''dad taught me to be who i am, as well as my mom. our family is built strong. i got this-'' she gestured to all of herself, ''from my parents.'' she smiled triumphantly, I adored her dazzling smile. ''so there you have it, you know most of me.'' she said in satisfactory. we walked on into the city
