Chapter fifteen: Preping for the best

SIFS VEIW;
"Wake up! Up, up, up!" I yell as I bust into Ashlee's chambers. "UGHHHH!" She complained. It was now Tuesday and we had to get ready for the ball tomorrow. The weekend was dull and so was Monday.
After I managed to drag Ashlee out of bed and get her ready we went to wake up Becca. "WAKE UP!" Ashlee yelled as she threw a pillow at Becca's head. "Fiiiineeee." Becca said as she pulled herself out of bed. We waited outside her chambers until she got dressed. "Becca go get Loki." Ashlee said to her then she winked. Becca rolled her eyes and went to Loki's chambers quietly. Becca was wearing a green dress that went down to her knees me and Ashlee where wearing dresses too.
Me and Ashlee peeked into Loki's chambers. We saw Becca back up from Loki's bed where he lay asleep. She then ran and threw herself on top of Loki. "WAKE UP!" She laughed. Loki screamed then hit her with a pillow. He was wearing black pants and he was shirtless.... and I have to say... not to bad for the God of mischief. Becca laughed then said, "We will be in the ball room."
BECCAS VEIW;
I have never been to the ball room. It was a golden room with a small stage for the band. It also had a beautiful, giant glass chandelier that hung from the ceiling. "So let's get to work." Ashlee said as she cracked her fingers. Suddenly a tall woman with dark curly hair rushed over to us. She was wearing a blue dress that was also down to her knees. I guess we where wearing "work dresses" today. She was skinny and pretty. "My name is Emily." She said as she shook all of our hands. She spoke fast. "The ball is tomorrow so we don't have much time. YOU!" She said as she pointed to Sif. "You go help get the band set up. YOU!" She said again but this time she pointed to Ashlee. "You go help with the food." Ashlee rolled her eyes, but did as she was told. The woman looked about thirty. "And you." She said as she pointed to me. "You will-"
"She will help me." A cool voice cut in. It was Loki. He was wearing his usual armor. "Oh.... well... you two go help with the decorations." She said quickly, then she turned on her heel and walked away. "OKAY EVERY ONE GET BUSY!" We heard her yell across the giant room. I rolled my eyes. I clapped my hands, "Ok. so where do we start?" Loki smiled at me. "Well we need to get the ice statue out first." He said. "Uh I don't think I should be the one handling the ice." I laughed. Loki just smiled. "Ok. Then you go get the chocolate fountain." He gave me a small smirk before walking away.
"NO NO NO!" I heard a man yell as I entered the kitchen. "To the right! No!" I looked around and saw that man and some other chefs holding the fountain. "Need some help?" I asked.d "Yes! Yes please!" The chef yelled.
The chocolate fountain was on a cart in the crowded kitchen. I got beside the chef and started to push the cart. "Ok. To the.....left. To the left!" So we pushed the cart to the left.
We finally got out of the kitchen, down the long hall, and to the ball room. Loki was nowhere to be seen. We slowly put the fountain next to a long table with a golden, Silk, table cloth. Before we walked away I quickly stuck my finger into the chocolate and put it in my mouth. It was delicious.
"Becca! Come here!" Sif yelled to me. I quickly went over to her. She looked worried. "What's wrong?" I asked. She was over by herself her words quiet. "Look." She slowly pointed to a letter laying on the floor. I opened the letter..... In red ink written On a yellow paper..... y͞͞O͞͞U͞͞ W͞͞I͞͞L͞͞L͞͞ B͞͞E͞͞ D͞͞E͞͞F͞͞E͞͞A͞͞T͞͞E͞͞D͞͞. B͞͞A͞͞L͞͞L͞͞ T͞͞O͞͞M͞͞O͞͞R͞͞R͞͞O͞͞W͞͞.
My hands stared to sweat. "You must tell Loki... or Odin.." Sif whispered. "No...." I said. "I won't burden anyone with my problems. They are coming for me..." Sif looked at me. She was so worried. "I-it's ok, Sif... do NOT be worried." I said as I put my hand on her shoulder. "What's going on?" I quickly turned around and who was standing there? Loki. "It's nothing." I said quickly and tried to walk away. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him. Sif quickly left. "Tell me." He said. I hid the letter behind my back. Loki noticed and quickly grabbed it from me. He read it.
Loki looked at me. His eyes full of worry. "Someone is out to get you." He told me. "Who? I don't- I just want to be happy. And you don't have to worry about me. I've got my powers." I smiled at him... he frowned. He reached out and touched my arm. I winced in pain, my arm was still sore from the torture. "I love you." He whispered to me and lightly kissed my cheek. "You've changed... in the good way." He whispered again. "I know...." I replied as I kissed his cheek and walked away to continue my work.
We all got done around five in the afternoon. It looked beautiful. But I went to me chambers shortly after I saw how we did on the decorating.
I read in my chambers for about fifteen minutes then I heard a knock at my door. I got up and opened the door. "Loki... look. I'm ok. I swear." I said as I saw loki. "No... it's not that." He said. He sounded happy. I sighed. "What?" I asked. He just smiled, took my hand and dragged me down the long golden hallway.
