Divine Mischief / Loki Love story

.15. Madcap

Thor ripped open Mercy's tent and barged in enraged, but was shocked not to find her there. Last night they had fought and he thought it would have been a good idea to leave her to herself to get over her anger, but with the sunrise, when Thor was getting his warriors ready to attack the enemy, Th messenger came, who claimed the Leader Of Naga'ari had captured Crown Prince's fiancée and if Thor wanted to see her again he was to follow all the demands the Tyrant sent him.

Fear washed over him when he realized that she had been absent the whole night and guilt started scratching at his heart... He shouted at her and almost accused her of cheating on him, with his brother... She must have been so hurt and offended... She ran and got captured by those monsters... He felt like punching himself, for being so stupid...

What if they were hurting her?!

She was still a mortal... What if she could not survive?!

It would be his fault if she dies...

He turned around and stormed off, shouting orders...

"Get ready! Faster! Move! Move!" he was shouting, but Sif stopped him.

"Thor if we move, they will kill her... we need to leave this realm and get help because we are outnumbered and we are in no condition for a perishing attack. We came here believing it was a minor problem, we are not ready, we need to regroup and get back up..." Thor did not want to listen to her but knew, he had to. Sif had always been on his side, supporting his every whim and the fact, that she was trying to talk some sense in him, meant that he was really wrong.

He hung his head in defeat...

"Tell the messenger we agree... for now, all we can do is make sure they don't hurt her... Get everyone ready, we are returning to Asgard... I need to talk with father. Only he can help..." he said and was ready to go back to his own tent when a thought struck his mind. Loki could help him. His brother was a great spy and if he wished, could get in any fortress and for him getting Mercy out would not have been a problem. It would cost Thor a lot, but now was not the time to think about the price when it came to life.

He had not seen Loki since last night and when Thor entered Loki's tent, he realized why...

Loki was gone too. His armor was nowhere to see and his bedding was untouched. Looking around, He saw a little piece of paper on the box, that was on his bedding, taking it in his hand and closer to his eyes, Thor lost his footing and almost fell on the ground.

"Sorry"

Was all that was written on the paper, with Loki's fine handwriting... Thor had been making fun of them for their whole childhood... It was too pretty... Even prettier and elegant than Frigga's... Thor never thought that this calligraphy would be able to give him such a horrible feeling, ever...

At that moment It was all clear, Loki had taken Mercy and handed her over to those monsters...

His own brother, Had stolen his beloved and given her to his enemies...

Enraged, Thor kicked the box where he found the latter, but instead of falling over and sitting on the side, the box rolled over like a ball, The magic veil fell off and in seconds, the box changed into a long cylinder and then when it stopped moving, on the floor ley Mercy, unconscious...

"Mercy..." screamed Thor and kneeled next to her, she was breathing but the fact that she was not waking up bothered him a lot... She had a wound and dried blood to the side of her head and was limp...

"Help... I need a healer!" Screamed and people run to his voice, his warriors recognized his voice too well to mistake... they run to him to help...

It was a really horrible situation, but it ended soon when the girl opened her eyes.

But instead of being happy to wake up in her lover's arms, she got scared and concerned... She tried to get away from him, thinking it was some kind of a trick, but when she realized that she was in the safety of Asgard's camp, her expression froze... Then her eyes ran around the room and when she could not see a certain face, her eyes widened...

"Where is Loki?!" she asked bluntly, not even realizing that it was not the right thing to wake up and ask your future husband about his brother...

"He betrayed..." Thor instinctively answered but stopped in midway just realizing that in this situation, all she cared about was his brother's whereabouts...

"What?! You have been attacked, you were unconscious, bleeding, I bet this is at fault and All you do is get concerned that he is not here?! Unbelievable!!!" Thor screamed and left the tent. Mercy just sighed and lied back... she was too weak to go after him and explain anything.

Soon one of the warriors walked in and handed her a healing potion.

It was the worst tasting thing Mercy had ever felt but she needed to get better and find out what was going on and what went wrong...

The moment she felt like she could stand on her own, she went to find Thor... And found him in his own tent.

"What is going on Thor?" She asked, her voice weak and shaking... Thor looked at her and was going to tell everything as he saw it, but the moment their eyes met, he realized that she needed only facts and not his point of view. He shook his head at his own hopelessness and shrugged.

"In the early morning a messenger came to claim that Naga'ari had you captive and if I wanted you to breathe, I had to follow their rules, But then I went to Loki for advice and found him gone. At first, I thought He took you too but you were masked as a box and turned out he just left you there for me to find... Then you woke up..." Then he stood up and walked up to her.

"I don't know what's going on between you two, but this better stops here... Go get ready we are leaving this damned place in five minutes..." His voice sounded like it was an order. He was angry and Mercy did not want to anger him more but she could not help it...

"What about Loki?! Aren't we going to get him back?!" She asked and hearing Loki's name flared Thor's anger...

"I told you this stops here! We are leaving, that traitor will mend to himself!" he growled and Mercy had no other choice but to nod.

Thor was not usually like that but it seemed like He had reached his limits...

Loki had teased Thor about taking her from him... He had been pushing her in Thor's heart and arms all the time and then threatening to steal her.

Mercy could tell that Thor was beyond turning point, He was not just jealous, he was angry and agitated... His mind was poisoned and she knew who and how he did it... she saw it every day, but never even tried to stop it and now Thor was acting like a vicious dog and Mercy felt like it was her fault too...

Of course, it was.... She lowered her head in shame and Thor left her there...

In a short time, everyone was ready to leave and they were standing close to each other, Thor had been holding her wrist in a death grip, keeping her close to him... When he looked around and decided it was the time, he looked up and almost barked...

"Heimdall... Open the bridge!!!" He was on the edge of his nerves and had no control left over his tone...

Mercy saw thousands of colorful rays reaching towards them and at that moment, Her mind had shut down and her body acted instinctively on its own. Punching Thor in the gut, ripping herself out of his grip, she ran and leaped forth...

The rays of Bifrost landed behind her and when she turned around they were already gone... So was everyone else...

The laughter of disbelief escaped her lips and she covered her open mouth with her palm... Looking around was not needed to know that she was alone and in trouble...

"What did I just do?!" She whispered to herself dumbfounded... She had always been a daredevil when it came to survival, but right now she risked the single thing, she had been fighting so furiously to keep... Life...

She just risked her own life... For what?! Even she did not want to know the answer to that...
