Adopted (A Loki A.U.)

Chapter 6

At 8, the Sherlock theme rang from across the room. I jumped off of my bed and answered my phone.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hi. This is Ezra. Tarron just wanted to say he's home."

"Okay," I smiled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Bye."

"Wait!" I shouted.

"What?"

"How are you?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Cause. I just do," I stumbled. As I finished saying that, I heard a knock at the door. "Hang on, I think someone is at the front door." I walked downstairs and through the kitchen to the front door with Ezra in my hand. Upon reaching the door I see this woman about 6' tall with this long blond hair. I opened the door to question this intruder.

"Uh, hello? Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"Im Ember. Loki sent me. Im from As-"

"Hang on," I cut her off. I put the phone back to my ear. "Hey, Ezra? I will talk to you tomorrow, okay?"

"Yea, okay," he said in a rough tone.

"Thanks," I smiled as if he could see me. I pressed end on my phone and looked but up at Ember. "So Loki sent you. What are you? My babysitter?"

"Actually, since he and Lady Sif were so close he figured that you could use someone to talk to who is about your age."

"Ugh, why does he put his nose where it doesnt belong?"

"I think it's because he is new to this whole dad thing."

"It was a rhetorical question," I said coldly.

"Oh."

"So what are you good at on Asgard? Like are you a killing machine or are you just a kid who whines about everything?"

"Well, if you should know, my sister and Thor taught me hand-to-hand combat, but I well-known for archery and knife throwing," Ember said all proud of herself.

"And your sister is who?" I asked.

"A bitch," she mumbled quietly thinking that I couldn't hear her. Clearing her throat, she said in a normal voice, "Lady Sif."

"Is she really all that bad?"

"She's horrible! She's always talking about how hot Prince Thor is and that Loki should have never been born. She thinks she's so gorgeous and that every guy should be falling to her feet. Lik seriously, come on! She is like super manly and it's gross!" She rambled. "Sorry, I'm sure you didn't want to hear all that."

" On the contrary, that was actually very entertaining, " I giggled.

"Okay then. I guess since I'm here we might as well make your life interesting. Let's see if Loki left you any money." She walked through the front door and into the hall.

"Wait, I thought you guys had to be invited in. Like you would be stuck-" she lifted her hand to cut me off.

"Sweetheart, we are NOT vampires," she said in a southern drawl, causing me to laugh.

"Okay then, lets's head to the kitchen to see if he left a note," I said and made my way to the kitchen. Surely enough, there was one tiny piece of paper with tiny writing all over it and an envelope attached to the back hanging on the fridge door.
I'm sure by now you've met Ember. Since I know how she is, she has 1. Already complained about Sif and 2. Asked for money to teach archery to you.

I chuckled. He really does know her, I thought.

"What's so funny?" Ember questioned.

"Loki knows you so well."

"Yea," she sighed. "I was raised with him and Thor. Since Thor and Sif were always running off, Loki and I always got stuck together. But of course, he was older then me and always complained about being stuck with a baby. Even though I am only 6 years younger then him. When he was 15 he finally decided thay I was okay and decided to teach me how to fight with knives." When she finally finished, we sat there in silence.

"Okay then," I said returning to the letter.
You will be able to find the credit card in the envelope. It already has money loaded on it. This is for you to keep and spend how ever you want. But please do not let Ember have it because she will spend it on everything in sight. And PLEASE DO NOT go near her while she is holding the knife. You may be stabbed. Just warning you!
-Loki

I looked up and saw Ember holding a knife two feet away.
