Enchessa made her way back to her room...of course asking for directions along the way "Enchessa?" She froze in her spot as she slowly turned around to meet "Sif..." the both of them stood there awkwardly as the silence between them was uncomfortable "my apologies for the incident, princess" "no...it is me who should apologize, I haven't been myself as of late and I'm afraid it has affected how I treat my friends and family" she looked down for a brief second before looking into Sif's brown eyes "I apologize" "-it is I who should apologize" 'not him again' she turned around to meet Thor "what do you want Thor, I'm busy" "may we speak-" "no" she answered with venom leaking through her voice "you" she pointed at him "have done enough, now do me one last favor and leave me alone" "but princess, give me a chance to explain-" "you've had one too many chances and I've lost count of how much, you Thor, despise me of Asgard, you disgrace it and it's people, you should be ashamed, I will damned right if I ever marry you" with that she turned on her heel and walked off.

"Princess, wait!" It was Sif "what is it" she didn't mean to snap at her, Thor just made her very irritated "what-what's happening between you and the prince, I don't mean to pry but-" "I don't judge your wondering...I just dislike him, a lot in fact...and what he has done to me, is unforgivable" she paused as she tried to block the tears from falling "the fact that my father doesn't care anymore it hurts me, more than anything I know" she let out a shaky breath as she forced back the tears that threatened to fall "he wasn't always like this, when we were younger, he would always train with me, bring me to the garden to spar and have fun like always...something happened, he's different, he's not the man I once knew" a stray tear was quickly wiped away before any weakness was shown to the warrior staring down at her with soft eyes "you needn't hold your tears" Sif placed a gentle hand on the princesses shoulder "and you needn't care" Enchessa cried out as her tears couldn't be held back anymore, after all she's been through, the celebration of her birth that many centuries ago, it changed something in him that she wished she could take back.

Pulling the princess into a hug would've costed Sif's life for execution, but she would've taken the chance, seeing the princesses' weaken and vulnerable state she couldn't help the need to comfort her "I'm sorry" Enchessa mumbled into her fellow friends shoulder as she pulled away "don't be" "...you have kept it all in haven't you?" Questioned Sif with a small smile matched with worried eyes "will it be a lie if I said no" she smiled sadly as she looked at her feet "I sometimes wish I wasn't royalty, I wish my mother was alive to see the man my father has become, I wish she was here to make sure none of this happened, I wish she was here to comfort me" she cried out as her tears flowed down her pale cheeks as she clutched onto Sif tighter as her soft sobs were heart-aching to hear.

"Enchessa!?"

The queen ran up to the two "what happened dear?" She had no words to speak so she wrapped her arms around Frigga's neck as she cried "oh my, what happened-oh never mind, come with me dear" Frigga wrapped an arm around the princesses waist as Enchessa rested her head on the queens shoulder as they began to walk away "Thank you" she spoke into Sif's thoughts as they turned a corner to walk in the direction the queen was taking her.

"Dear, would you like to talk about it?" Enchessa shook her head as she grabbed the queens hands and placed them on her temples, just because she could read other peoples thoughts and invade their memories doesn't mean that she couldn't let others read her's.

They sat on the queens bed as Frigga read through the whole scene of the breakdown that happened minutes-or hours ago? Enchessa wouldn't know. She sat next to the queen who was facing her as she rested the side of her head on her shoulder as she continued to silently cry her worries away "dear, don't shed your tears" "I can't help it" she sniffled as the queen laced her fingers through Enchessa's raven hair as she held her the same way her own mother did, the same way her own mother helped her calm down "what's wrong with me?" She asked Frigga "what is so desperately wrong with me, that the gods above have proven to make my life as difficult and as painful as they can make it" "my dear, there is nothing wrong with you...it's with my idiotic son, out there with his big-headed thirst for battle, completely forgetting about how it is to love again...after what happened with Jane, he was never the same after that" the queen sighed while looking down at the saddened girl in her arms.

"Do you want to be married?" Enchessa looked up at the queen with a surprised expression "I-I don't know-my father, he...he expects me to marry Thor" she paused as her eyes wandered to the queens balcony, afraid to meet her gaze "do you want to?" "By all means your majesty, I mean no disrespect, but I just can't marry your son, Thor" her eyes met the queens soft ones "I will not force you to do so, as I'm sure your mother will disapprove of my doings, letting you marry someone you wish to not" "thank you, I don't know what to say-...you knew my mother" her smile dropped at the words spoken by the women sitting right next to her "darling, you could say she was my sister, we grew up together because of our parents, always having their meetings and plan-outs" "could you-could you tell me about her?" she asked quietly, testing to see if the queen would comply "I would love to".

~~~~~~~~~~

"Really?!" Smiled Enchessa with the biggest smile she could of ever had "yes, oh how I loved that day, I've never laughed that hard or had been so happy in my life after that day" "I can't believe that was her, I-are we talking about the same person" laughed Enchessa while the queen was losing her breath out of her laughter "yes dear, I believe we are talking about the same person" they doubled in their laughter.

"Thank you Frigga, you were just what I needed to help myself calm down" "don't think anything of it dear, after all, you'll be living here soon enough for me to call you my daughter" the queen smiled before walking away and leaving a bewildered Enchessa standing their like an idiot "come again?" 'I am not marrying that imbecile if that's what she meant'.

[A/N: So this chapter to me is kinda sad and had me tearing up because I was listening to a sad song [don't ask why] and yeah it helped me write this chapter a little (song-Ready when you get here by Bobby Andonov) it's such a sad song if I have a say in anything, and I love it...I'll stop talking now]
