The Unknown

Chapter 2: Not Alone

Authors Note: Loki is older in this story than he is in the movies but not in physical appearance so don't worry if you like Tom Hiddleston. Basically, in the movies he is just over 1000 years old but considering they live for more than 5000 years, he is like a teenager just going through a rebellious stage (saw a head cannon of this and it made sense). 

Chapter 2: Not Alone

Loki shot up in his gold lit cell, to see the noise that had woken him. The four prisoners that were in the cell across from him were fighting, once again. Usually this wouldn't have him but the fight was so severe, that the Asgard prison guards were now involved. If he could leave his cell, he would have killed them all. Make them suffer for what they had taken from him, but as his anger grew, it subsided with the knowledge that his daughter was alive. His precious Dahlia was alive. She was a witch, just like Lily, but she had also inherited his powers, it was the only way that they could have connected across realms but he knew her powers were new and needed to be taught, so that she could control them.

He tried to go back to sleep instantly, in order to return to her, but his heart was beating so fast that he could hear the beat as if it was a drum going off next to him. Even as the cells became quiet, the drums remained and he knew he had to get back to her soon, or she may vanish, not knowing how to use her magic so they could see each other once again.

Dahlia had never felt such as rush of emotions, even after finding out she was a witch and the saviour of the wizarding world, she had never felt emotions like this. She was confused, happy, surprised, and scared all in one. She accepted that Loki was her father but she was still so confused and needed answers, regarding why he was never there, what the threat was to her life. She was happy that her father was alive, that she wasn't alone anymore but at the same time, scared at the revelation that he said he was a god. A god?? What chance did she have of being someone important to a god? That's if he was telling the truth. What chance did she have of him not leaving her? Everyone left her whether that was willingly or not, through death or through their own choices, they left.

Maybe the world around her was now her world. He said that he was waking up, did that mean she would have to wake up to leave or was there another way. She didn't want to think of it for long, as she was tired and couldn't help the sensation of sleep, as she slouched even further against the tree into a comfortable position so that she could close her eyes.

Dahlia couldn't tell how long she was asleep for but she woke up with her head in the grass and someone shouting her name. The setting around her hadn't changed, not even the sun as it was still bright like before. She quickly sat up and looked around as the voice sounded familiar and as the person came over the hill, she recognised it as Loki's. She smiled and said, "you came back?"

Loki smiled back at her and said, "of course I did". He sat down beside her, "I promise to always come back."

She continued to smile but then lost it when she saw the blood dripping down the side of his face, coming from the side of his forehead. She gasped and asked, "what happened?"

She reached to touch but then pulled away as she forgot about touching and how useless it was. Loki continued to give her a calm smile as he reassured her, "I'm fine. I couldn't get back here by getting back to sleep because I was so excited about seeing you again". She couldn't help the small smile. "So, I had to knock , in order to come back. I'll be fine."

He was telling her the truth but what he didn't mention was that he was in an Asgardian prison cell and that he had to throw himself into the golden barriers, in order to knock himself out as he already tried several methods.
