Sarcastic Love Pt. 1

She slowly came back to reality. She was groaning, as she gained back her consciousness. When her eyes adjusted to sudden light above her, she observed her new surroundings. She was restrained in a chair, in an empty room, with a large window looking out. How did I get here? She thought to herself.

She forced herself to remember the events that lead up to this. She remembered she was walking with her boyfriend, they were laughing. All of sudden people who they had problems with before showed up, and demanded a fight.

Her boyfriend kept declining, but the more he declined the more aggressive they became. They started started messing with her, just to get a reaction out of him, and it worked. They fought. But they knocked him out cold with a medal pole.

She ran to his side, and kept crying his name. "Loki." She said out loud. Panic began to kick in as she didn't know if he was somewhere safe, or somewhere dead. When she realized she wasn't making any progress she grew frustrated.

She hung her head down, and closed her eyes. *tap tap* She opened her eyes thinking the sound was only in her head. *tap tap* When she heard it a second time she looked up at the window and saw him standing on the other side with his hand pressed against the glass.

"Loki." She whispered to herself in disbelief. That happy feeling didn't last long when she saw a man coming out behind him. He looked to be holding something in his hand that was shiny, and if she learned anything from Loki, shiny never meant good.

She tried to warn him, and yell to him to turn around, but when he finally understood it was too late. Whatever that man was holding he used it, and she watched helplessly from the other side of the glass as he slid down to the floor.

With panic and adrenaline coursing through her, she knew what she had to do, it was painful, but it was worth it. She stood up as much as she could, and slammed the chair and herself on the floor causing the chair to break into pieces. She was in pain, but she was free.

She sat on the ground, and slid the small pocket knife she had hidden in her sleeve and began to cut the tape around her hands as fast as she could. And in less than a minute her hands were free, and within 20 seconds so were her legs.

She stood up for the first time, and tried to find something anything to get out of the there. With the only chair broken, and no signs of a door anywhere she was on her own in this room with nothing but her imagination, which wasn't helping.

Her eyes filled with tears, as panic set in, but she had to quickly remind herself of the training given by her boyfriend. "If there is a way in, there is a way out." He said on one lesson. "A way in, a way out. A way in, a way out."

She began to use her hands, and rub the walls up and down looking for a piece of the wall to feel different. She was in a corner by the window, when she could feel the difference between the walls. She eventually found the doorknob, and ran out the door.

She found Loki laying on the ground, with his hand on his stomach, and she quickly went to his aid. "Bout time you showed up." He teased. "Shut up Loki." She said, and examined his stomach to see how bad the scar was.

"Am I dying doctor?" He asked dramatically. She rolled her eyes. "It won't be by this, but by me instead." He kept his mouth closed, and let her work her magic, literally. She placed her hand gently on his stomach, causing him to flinch.

She closed her eyes, and thought about how she wanted the wound to heal, and how she wanted him to feel afterwards. She could feel the wound patching itself up, and when she no longer felt the scar but his skin she removed her hand.

The whole scar including the blood was gone. She looked at Loki, Loki looked his stomach and then back at her. "You're welcome." She said. He sat up, and pulled down his shirt. "Thank you." He said with a forced smile.

She looked down the hallways, but each side looked the same. "Do you know a way out of here?" She asked. "Oh yes, because it's not like we got kidnapped by the same people, and forced in this random building at the same time. But I do think it's time to wake up."

She scrunched her eyebrows at him. "What?" She asked. "Wake up." Everything around her began to get pulled away from her, like a black hole was sucking everything out. There was nothing she could do. She was faced with blackness all around her, but then she hear a familiar voice say. "Enjoy the simulation?"

She took the simulation goggles off, and saw Loki standing in front of her. "Ha! You have no idea." She smirked.
