Chapter Fourteen

***Loki's POV***

As she dashed into her room I smiled to myself, touching my cheek. But as I heard another crash my smile quickly faded and I raced towards the sound, fearing the worst. As I turned a hall I came face to face with the one person I was dreading would find me. My brother. Thor glared at me and roared "WHERE IS SHE LOKI? WHERE IS THE WOMAN YOU STOLE" I smirked and hid my fear, saying "Well that's not a very polite way of saying hello Thor, you should really learn some manners". He glowered at me and spat "Now you listen here brother..." but before he could finish Langridge caught both of us by surprise and knocked him into the wall. "I'm listening...." I said as I walked towards the broken wall where Thor and Langridge were. This scene seemed familiar, I had said the same thing to him back in Midgard... No. I wasn't going to think about that. Langridge was soon out of the rubble and by my side. I nodded at him in approval and he nodded back. I didn't want him here when I was fighting Thor so I told him to leave and let us be. Langridge nodded and left. "If I hear you in trouble though I will come again" he called as he sped away.

The pile of crumbled wall moved and Thor emerged, his face red with anger. I stopped a few feet away from him and with my magic changed into my formal Asgardian suit, with my scepter grasped in my hand. Thor stood in front of me and spat "Loki you must end this foolishness. I will not tell father of your whereabouts if you give me the girl. Her family and friends are grieving for her. Loki if you have any compassion left in you, any of the brother that I knew from my childhood, please let her go" My smirk faded as I let Thor's words pierce my heart. I glared at him and shock my head saying "No. I won't let you. She might actually be the only person who has ever given a damn about me. Amy is happy here Thor don't you understand? She's.. happy here." Thor stared at me as I faltered on the last words. "Loki... It doesn't matter if she seems happy here, she doesn't belong here. She belongs in Midgard. She may seem like she cares about you but she will never truly be happy living a life imprisoned." Thor was stepping closer to me, his voice softening. "No... No you're wrong Thor. You're wrong." I felt as though all the air was slowly seeping out of my lungs, leaving me breathless. My throat closed in fear, Thor's words sinking in. "Thor I can't. Thor I... I love her" I whispered, closing my eyes. Thor's eyes widened as he walked towards me. He slapped an arm on my shoulder as my body tensed. I looked up at him and met his sympathetic eyes. I felt tears threatening to show but I wouldn't let them fall. Especially not in front of my brother. "Loki. If you truly love her, then you must let her go. And if she loves you, she will come back to you." I backed away from him as a single tear fell from my lashes. I sighed in frustration and wiped it away but it was too late, Thor saw it. Damn.

Thor started to walk past me toward Amy's room, but I grabbed his arm to stop him. "Brother please. Let me just have one last day with her. I need one last day to say goodbye. I will send her back tonight I promise." I wasn't usually the type to get on my knees and beg but for this I was willing to. Thor sighed saying "Loki you must swear to send her back tonight. If she is not back in Midgard by midnight I will come and take her away." I nodded "I swear Thor. She will be gone by midnight." Thor nodded and turned away and walked through the rubble and called "Oh by the way Loki, I'm sorry for breaking your door. It was locked and i really wasn't in the mood for knocking" I sighed in frustration and glared as he walked away. 'That's what all the crashing was then I guess' I thought to myself. I changed back into my regular clothes from before and slowly walked back towards her room. How am I going to say goodbye to the women I love? My throat hurt from holding back the tears as I stopped to lean against the wall. I sunk to the ground, holding my head in my hands. It's all her fault. If she hadn't even been there when I landed she wouldn't have volunteered and made the deal with me. She wouldn't have gotten hurt, she wouldn't have come back here with me and I wouldn't have fallen in love with her. Did I really say that? Yes... I did. I'm in love with Amy Clark. I'm in love with her and I have to send her away tonight, never to see me again.

I stood and punched the wall behind me, making a hole. I leaned my forehead against the cold wall and sighed. She'll probably be overjoyed when she leaves. When she wakes up in her own bed, safe and sound and away from me. Will she mourn my absence? No of course not. Why would she? My Amy will have her life back, she won't even think about the monster who locked her up. My Amy... I will always watch over her, making sure shes safe. I will always love her even if she doesn't love me back. As I made my way towards her door I practiced a smile to hide my sadness. I couldn't let her know she's leaving until the last possible moment. I am the God of Mischief for Odins sake, I will have the last trick into making her think she has eternity with me... Instead of just a few small hours.
