Walking Nightmare

Chapter 21

---Few weeks Later...I'm feeling so lazy right now.

"Enchessa!" She could hear the yelling from Loki as she hid in the stables, seeking some alone time as the people wouldn't leave her alone. And by people she meant Sif and Frigga, if she wasn't with one of them she was with the other and she was stressing herself about everything and everyone.

And it's not like she didn't want to be around Loki or anyone else, she did, but she wanted some time to herself "oh God, please go away" she pleaded softly as she shut her eyes tightly while squishing herself into the corner of Aljana's stall "I know you're here, Enchessa, just save me the trouble and come out" he laughed as she heard the crunching of hay from his foot steps coming closer to where she sat.

"Enchessa" He sang as he stood directing in front of her, only the wooden gate standing in between them as she tried her hardest to quiet down her breathing, as it was loud in her ears "darling, I know you're here, just come out" Aljana jumped on his hind legs as Loki took a few steps back from shock "calm down...calm down" his brow was raised, he was beyond confused as it is, and now his beloved horse almost kicked him in the face, for no reason.

Her breathing increased when she heard him finally open the stall gates "Oh please go away, oh please go away" she pleaded with her eyes closed as she leaned against the hay bales "Oh heavens where are you" Loki mumbled with his hands on his hips, eyes scanning the stall, as everything looked suspicious. To the way his horse was acting, the stall keeper being strange, the way the hay bales were arranged in an odd formation, the dress fabric visible behind the-"What in the heavens" Loki mumbled as he smirked when he noticed the familiar violet dress.

"Oh where could she be" he spoke aloud as he neared closer to her hiding spot "Where could she-BE!" He shouted as she jumped up from fright, holding her hand to her heaving chest "You scared me" she mumbled while scooting away from him. "What's wrong darling, you seem...distant" he pondered with a hand on his chin as he stared at her with a strange curiosity "I just wanted to be alone, or just be away from place life or people, even if it's just for a little while" she rested the side of her head on her knees as he kneeled down in front of her, gently lifting her chin as he stared softly in her grey eyes "You need only ask, darling" he smiled as he held her hand.

"Are you sure about this, Loki?" Frigga asks, feeling concerned as she saw the two engaged couple packing their things "I am sure mother, you have nothing to worry about" "It's not me that's worrying" she eyed her son seriously "You know nothing will happen" "I know, my son, but I still worry-" "I have no reason to do anything wrong, I assure you, I...we, we will be fine" he looked away, as he began to walk in the opposite direction from which he came. His mother trailing close behind.

He quickened his pace when he realized his mother was walking with him "Loki, slow down please" but he only sped up before concentrating a spell in his mind, then in the span of a second he vanished.

Loki had reappeared in his room, only to see beloved wife sitting in the corner of the room on one of the the armchairs, fast asleep with soft snores leaving her slightly parted lips. His eyes scanned her face as her ebony locks curled softly over her shoulders "Fast asleep already" he murmured while walking closer to her quietly.

Sitting across from her he leaned forward and tucked away a small strand of her hair, delicately placing it behind her shoulder while tilting his head to the side, his cool breath softly fanning her face while he admired her facial features "Beautiful" he mumbled while a smile stretched on his cold lips, causing his eyes to shine with adoration for the young women before him.

He smiled once more before standing up to leave and call the maids to finish up packing their belongings for the long trip ahead of them. Making his way to the throne room, he thought about...Him. Yes him. The one that you could say ruined his life, the so-called king of Asgard, the murderer of billions and yet, he still lives after all he has done. But what was Loki to say, he himself has killed. What's his word against the king?
