The Peacekeeper of Asgard(Malekith/OC)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The next day Malekith, Odin and Frigga were in the halls of healing, waiting as Rebecca was being awakened by the healer Eir.

Rebecca's eyelids felt heavy, she struggled to open them up. She expected to feel pain all over her body, instead she found a few dull aches here and there.

"What's taking so long?", Rebecca heard Malekith ask.

'Malekith!?', she thinks, 'Why is he here? What happened?'

Hearing his voice was enough to fight through her heavy eyelids and open up her eyes.

She looked around wildly, trying to find her husband. She saw she was in the halls of healing, and next to her she found not only her husband, but her mother and father as well.

"How are you feeling?", a voice from her other side asks. 'My healer', she thinks.

"I feel fine. What happened?", she asks, turning to her father.

"My daughter, after the battle, the adrenaline in your body stopped and your injuries were severe, you were bleeding profusely. So we brought you here to the halls of healing, where Eir had placed you in a healing coma. It's been about four days since the end of the battle.

"Oh", she says dumbly, and turns to her husband.

"Your mother sent for me, I was told of your injuries. I arrived yesterday", he says matter-of-factly.

"Darling, we are so happy that you are alright", her mother tells her.

Frigga grabs her husband's hand and drags him out of the hall, saying, "We'll see you later sweetheart".

Odin had no choice but to follow, leaving Rebecca alone with Malekith.

"Will you tell me what happened when you arrived here?", Malekith asks his wife, who looked deep in thought.

"Didn't they tell you?", she asks, referring to her parents.

"They did. But I would like to hear it from your side", he responds.

"It was just as I told you before I left. Hela was waiting for me at the gate. She greeted me and when we were on horseback, she asked of my decision and I told her. A moment later she...she...", Rebecca tries to say, but her heart aches at the betrayal of her sister.

Malekith grabs her hand in a soothing matter, encouraging her to continue.

"She then attacked me. She plunged her sword into my abdomen. But I fought her off. I then travelled to the palace and told my father of Hela's betrayal. My father fought with my sister until he got injured. I then proceeded with my attack, until the Valkyrie as well as my father arrived. Every time a warrior couldn't continue fighting, I would take over", she told Malekith.

He nods sombrely.

"I'm glad that you are alive, wife", he responds.

She smiles and says, "Well, I did make a promise to my husband".

"And you have kept it".

Not long after that, did the healer dismiss the Princess of Asgard, along with her husband, out of the halls of healing, with the express instructions that Rebecca must have bed rest for the next few days.

"King Malekith, I urge you to keep her in bed for the next three days, so that her recovery will be swift", the healer told Malekith.

"Eir, why aren't you telling me all of this?", she asks, knowing the answer.

"Because, little princess. You are just as stubborn as your father. You will not heed my instructions. The way I know you, is that you will start training again the very same day I release you. I am sure your husband will heed my instructions".
