"Elizabeth, how many times must I tell you not to stay out late?" Gloria WhenScee, Elizabeth's grandmother, asks while tapping her shoe on the rug.

Elizabeth meekly shrugs with a smile and her hands up.

"Ten?" Elizabeth suggests.

Elizabeth is a eight year old. A messy eight year old who loved to go out and have some adventure in the forest.

"You're here for the summer." Gloria said. "I do not want you to get  sick. Because if you get sick, I get sick."

Elizabeth's shoulder's sulk.

"I was gonna wash up." Elizabeth said.

"No, little girl, I had to go into the forest while your grandpa was sleeping and pick you up, then take your home." Gloria said.  "It is 9:15 PM. How many times do I have to tell you: get a watch."

"It felt like 8:22 to me, Grandma." Elizabeth said.

Gloria points to the bathroom.

"Get washed, young lady!" Gloria said. "Your Pajamas is on the stool."

Elizabeth shamefully shuffles away leaving dirt on the ground. Gloria stood by the door for more than half an hour, with her arms folded, and waited until a wet Elizabeth came out in pajamas with her dirty clothes in a big zip bag.Gloria pinches her forehead shaking her head  that is lowered towards the floor.

"Liz." Gloria said, taking her hand off her forehead and looks towards Elizabeth. "You do not have to put your dirty clothes into zip bags."

"But then you'll get sick!" Elizabeth said. "Grandpa told me if I wanted to help you; put my dirty clothes into the zip bag."

Gloria smiles, and then takes the bag from Elizabeth.

"Go to bed, Liz." Gloria said.

"Okay." Elizabeth said, then walks to the bedroom. Elizabeth closes the door behind herself. Then Elizabeth collapses falling asleep on the comfy warm floor. 

Gloria had heard Elizabeth's body collapse.Gloria shook her head muttering 'girl and her sleep.' heading towards the laundry basket.When Elizabeth falls asleep; she sleeps that way,and, will wake up when someone tries to put  her somewhere else that is better for her neck or head.Gloria learned the hard way if she wanted Elizabeth to sleep then don't mess with her.Elizabeth wouldn't go back to sleep after being moved from where she decided to fall asleep.

...June 3rd, 2011...

...It's a Friday...6:40 AM....

A large boom erupted from the backyard right as something crashed landed.Elizabeth shot up straight, gets up quickly,she grabs a 'Aurora' Princess Barbie on the pink dresser drawer,then opens the bedroom door and hurries down the hallway straight towards the kitchen.When she came to the doorway leading into the kitchen; Elizabeth takes a turn to the right where the cabinets are pressed against the wall, ran straight towards the screen door, pressed the handle down, and ran out the door into the backyard. Then Elizabeth rushes past the screen door that allowed it to smack against the white wall and then quietly shut when she wasn't there.

There is a big dark crater with a man lying in the middle. That is no other than Loki.

Elizabeth stood at the first ridge to the crater.

Grandma, can we help Loki?Where stories live. Discover now
