Tenebris Angelus

Chapter 25

I washed and got changed into one of the dresses, I look at my reflection and sigh changing into another dress. I look around for something to cover my back with, all the dresses have low backs meaning my scars could be seen. I find some material in a box with sewing stuff, I grabbed a green dress and attach the fabric to the back to make a cape type thing.

I change into it and examine my reflection, “lady- I mean Angel are you dressed?” Thor asked through the door. “yes I am” he opens the door and looks over the dress “I like your improvements”. I smile at him and we walk down some corridors.

I get given confused and disgusted looks from people we pass by, I bring my arms over my chest covering myself. We get to a busy room with people eating food, a lot of them stop to look at me. I follow Thor silently until we get to a large table, we sit down and I keep my hands tucked in my lap.

“Are you not going to eat?” Thor glances at my empty plate, I slowly move my hands to grab some food. I hear gasps and whispers, I ignore them and start eating my food. After a while I excuse myself and walk to the balcony, I look at the view.

I turn at the sound of someone behind me “hey”, “are you ok?” Thor walks to stand next to me. I nod looking back to the view, “if you will excuse me I need to go back to my room” he nods and I walk back through the hall.

I get to the dungeons but stop before walking in, I breathe in deeply to calm myself. I carry on walking until I get to his cell I walk in and he looks me over, “ignore their whispers, they fear what they don't know”. I shrug “I don't care of their thoughts anyway”, he smirks a bit.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” He asks sitting down on the floor, I sit down in front of him “shut up and pass me your hand”. He puts his hand out “from what I know it should be 3am on earth meaning they should be asleep” I say and Loki chuckles, I raise my eyebrow “what?”. He stops laughing “sorry it's just you know that's the devil's time right? It's a bit ironic” I roll my eyes and smile “and here I was thinking you were the mature brother”.

I close my eyes and focus on Bucky.

Bucky's PoV

I open my eyes to darkness. Oh no not another nightmare. I wait knowing hydra agents and scientists will appear soon like always but dim lights turn on to reveal a large ballroom. I look around and my eyes stop on a figure in the distance, they are in all black with a big hood over their face.

They step forwards and I want to run but I can't, the figure stops and slowly lowers their hood. I gasp “Angel?” her hair is pure black and her eyes are a bright orange with dark eye makeup surrounding them.

I go to say something but she speaks first “I know you don't want to see me right now and you're all sick of me but I had to say goodbye” her voice is soft, my eyes widen but she talks before me again “don't say anything… I'm on asgard with Thor so I'm safe. Please tell the others I'm sorry and I will never forget any of you and this is a dream so keep this to know this actually happened” she places a golden necklace in my hand with a dragon pattern. “... goodbye Bucky”.

I put my hand out but she vanishes before I reach her “NO wait Angel please” I wake up and look around seeing that I'm back in my room, I open my hand and see the necklace. It was real. She's gone.

I let tears fall down my cheeks silently “I will never forget you” I whisper bringing the necklace closer to me.

Angel's PoV

I open my eyes tears falling down my face, Loki smiles sadly at me and brings me into a hug. I'm shocked at first but hug him back, he waves his hand. After while we pull apart, I smile at him “I'm going to tell someone you hugged me” he smirks “there's an illusion around us so no one saw, you have no proof”.

He looks down my clothing and I look down to see what he was looking at, I gasp seeing that my green dress is now pitch black and I have large hood on my back.

“What the- I have to talk to Odin” I stand up and Loki stands up with me “good luck”. I run to the throne room not caring about looking like a maniac, I need answers. I swing the doors open and bow down quickly, “What happened child?” Odin asks looking at my clothing.

“I spoke to someone in their dream and when I opened my eyes I was wearing this” I stand back up, “your heart has more darkness in it which means you will end up turning to your father's side”. My eyes widen “you can stop it, try to avoid dark actions or anything that could turn you” Odin says and I bow my head.

While I'm leaving Odin speaks “don't give into the darkness”.

“don’t let the darkness consume you, I love you my child and we will meet again in the next life”  I smile sadly remembering my father's words before he died and walk down the hallway.

I walk not paying attention to where I was walking, I was too lost in thought about my father. I bump into someone “sorry” I mumble before walking again with my head down. “Hera my dear are you ok?” I stop at the voice and look up realising I walked to the dungeon, Loki raises an eyebrow “something bad must be on your mind for you not to snap at me using your real name”.

I sigh “I can't give into darkness which means I'm doomed”, “you're stronger than you know” he says reassuringly. I shrug “hey! You can't be down here” a guard shouts making his way over, “wait! Stop you fool” Loki snaps but the guard ignores him and grabs me with force.

Without even thinking I wrapped my hand around his neck and hold him up against the wall, “Angel listen to me, let him go… listen to my voice” Loki says calmly. I drop the guy and step back looking at my hands, I look at Loki and he smiles sadly “you didn't kill him”.

I shake my head and run to my room. I can't avoid the darkness, it's within me.
