The burning came and this time it wouldn't stop. It spread from tattoos to all over my body like wildfire. I cried out in agony. Loki said something, but I couldn't make it out. The pain blinded everything; my eye sight, my hearing, my sense of smell.
I curled up and cradled my burning hand to my chest. It hurt. I wished it would stop. What was wrong with me?
"Help...please..." I whispered. I felt Loki trying to get me to uncurl. I refused to but he was stronger than me and I had no energy. I gingerly took my hand but even though it was gentle, it still hurt. Badly. Why wouldn't it stop?

Eventually the pain became so blinding, I passed out. Everything went black behind the fire of pain. Ouch.

Hours later I woke up. But rather than a burning sensation, I was frozen. I blinked and then tried to move, but I couldn't. I growled a little and before I realized I was shackled, or something, down.

"She's spiking." Said an unfamiliar voice and then a discussion followed. I stopped struggling and looked around. I was in an unfamiliar place, I knew that much. Not Earth most defiantly. And then panic knotted in my stomach. Where was Loki? Where was I?

"Where am I?" I hissed and struggled some more.

"Miss Astrid, you are in Asgard." The guy said. My eyes widened.

"W-what?" I stuttered very shocked.
