Manipulating Hearts - A Loki Love Story

~Chapter Six~Need a Distraction

I would be lying if I didn't say I was still muddled by my whole flashback, memory kerfuffle. I definitely wasn't getting much sleep since I saw that. How could I not remember that? I mean I remember everything up to the point when I ran to the door and I always believed that I had left the room and went and cried in my own for the rest of the night. It was the smashing of the vase over my father's head that I don't recall at all. I wonder if Loki had done that, just to amuse himself to see how I would react. Or did I actually do that?

It's been two days since the whole ordeal and I haven't seen Loki since. Not that I was complaining, it's been peacefully without his presence. I mean yeah, I felt myself going madder everyday being stuck in here, but if he ever tried to do, what ever it was he did to me days ago, I was going to lose my shit. The entire time, my head felt like it was spinning so fast that I was going to vomit. It was definitely not something I wanted to feel again ever...

I really needed to find a way out of here. I leaned back against the bars of the cage, scanning the area I could see. I noticed more guards and white coats had been brought in. I wonder where he managed to find all these willing bodies. Probably Barton, he couldn't seem to keep that mouth of his shut. They were all working on the tesseract. Night and day. None of them seemed to have the need for rest, including Loki. Great, that wasn't going to make it easy for me in trying to attempt to escape from here if none of them took breaks.

Loki walked by my cage, only glancing at me for a second, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth. I narrowed my eyes at him, not really sure what he was grinning about. People only did that when they knew more than what they let on. He looked away, and I watched him until he was out of my line of sight. I knew my plan. I didn't know if it was going to work, but I at least had to try and I waited patiently.

I was sitting, staring at the ground in deep thought when I looked up to see Loki sitting in the middle of the lab, on the ground, holding his stick and it glows. Which was odd, I thought. What was more odd is that even though I could see him, he seemed like he was somewhere else. He was still for a very long time when he suddenly flinched, like he was in pain and his eyes shot opened and he looked incredibly mad. He got up from the ground and disappeared again.

A couple hours went by and the scrawny god himself finally made an appearance. I got up from ground and darted over to the cage door. "Hey!" I shouted. I knew Loki had to have heard me, but decided to ignore me anyways. Probably to see how angry I would get, to grab his attention. The God of Mischief had finished speaking to the white coat and continued on his way. " Hey! I'm talking to you!" I yelled even louder at him. He laughed quietly to himself as he came over, taking his time I might add in coming over.

"What do you want? I'm quite busy as you can see. I don't have time to listen to your whinny voice every five minutes." He said arrogantly.

Rude. I said in my head. Get over Rose, you don't have time to correct him on his politeness right now. "I need to go to the washroom." I said quickly, forcing a grin on my face.

Loki looked over my shoulder inside my cage and then returned his full attention back on me. " I believe Barton supplied you with a bucket." Loki pointed out, raising an eyebrow.

I looked behind me and then looked back at Loki unimpressed. " Really? I'm a girl. I can't go in a bucket. I need more privacy then that." I pressed.

"Do you think I'm stupid?" He challenged

"I don't know, do you want me to lie or answer that honestly?" I retorted back.

"I like you." He snickered.

"Eww, why?" I muttered, and he suddenly grabbed the bars of the cage, causing it to make a rattle sound and I jumped back startled. I didn't expect that at all.
