Chapter One

Welcome to Asgard Mortal

"Casey!" A young college girl runs through the campus after her friend with the evening breeze running through her hair. "Casey! Oh my god don't run that way! The zombies are gathering over there!"

"No they're not Lauren!" Casey ran faster towards the quad. "Oh Shit!" She slid into the bushes to hide from the zombie team that was meeting up. The university was in the middle of a university wide zombie outbreak. Football season was over and most people didn't know what to do during the weekends.

"See I told you," Lauren whispered to Casey.

"Live a little," Casey grinned back, "Hey look theres our drum major! Don't you still have a huge crush on him?" Lauren blushed.

"No!"

"Well maybe you can let him bite you tonight." Casey gave a wink at Lauren before standing up catching the opposing teams attention. "HEY GUYS I HAVE A VICTIM RIPE FOR THE BITING!" Casey pointed at Lauren before running off.

"CASEY!" Lauren began running until she was caught off guard by the drum major himself.

"Gotcha! I knew clarinet players couldn't run very fast… well with the exception of Casey…" He threw a wicked smile at Lauren and she instantly blushed.

Casey ran as fast as she could not looking back. She was sure those two would disappear from the game soon. With her success at getting her friend and her crush in the same breathing room pleased her and she headed back to the band hall to get to her car. The closer she got the building the lighter her head got. She slowed down until she fell to the ground feeling the cool grass hitting her cheek.

That was the last thing she remembered was a blistering headache. She slowly opened her eyes praying she was in bed, but as her luck would have it she was still laying on grass. She slowly sat up taking in her surroundings. "Where the hell am I?" Her eyes widened when she realized she wasn't on campus anymore. "Holy Shit! Where am I?" She began to get up quickly quickly looking around. She was surrounded by a forest with the richest colors that she had only seen in movies.

"Hello? Anybody out there?" She yelled. Silence answered her. "I guess I should start walking." Casey began walking through the forest wondering where she even was. Did she get kidnapped? If she did she knew this was a bad kidnapping job.

After hours and hours of walking Casey began to give it up for the night. However, with the darkness came clarity. Once the sun faded away she could see the flickering of lights. Lights of a very large city. "There is a God!" She continued to walk and walk faster. Eventually she began to run towards the light source. She ran harder until she ran into what seemed like a wall.

"Who are you? What business do you have here?" Casey looked up to find herself faced to face with an armed guard clad in bronze and golden armor. "Speak woman!" Casey jumped.

"Look, I'm lost, I have no idea where I am and I'm frightened and cold and I don't even know if this is Earth anymore." The guard gave her a puzzled look.

"Do you mean, Midgard?" Casey nodded her head.

"Oh hell no…." She suddenly had flashbacks to her high school mythology class. The armor, forest, calling Earth Midgard. "Am I in Asgard?"

"Yes, just on the outskirts, now tell me what business do you have here and how did you get here?"

"I told you I do not know! I was running then suddenly BOOM! I'm here!" The guard stood for a moment.

"Come with me." He pulled her up by her arm and pretty much dragged her off to the shining city.

"You will wait here to speak to her majesty," the guard commanded.

"Her...Her majesty?" The guard did not answer back to Casey. He simply just left her as he disappeared through the grand golden doors. She stood and waited confused and nervous. She felt like she had been standing there for ever until the guard reappeared From behind the door.

"The queen with see you now." The guard opened the door wider and lead her inside.

"I do apologize for my husband's absent young one." Casey looked up to a grand room covered in gold and silk tapestries. "But I am here in hi stead to welcome you to Asgard." Casey looked to the woman with confusion.

"So this is Asgard…"

"Yes and I am its queen." Casey looked to here with such disbelief. 'The Queen Frigga?' She couldn't believe this was all real.

'BOW! Midguardian!" Casey shook as the guard bellowed at her.

"Stand down guard. Can you not see she is in shock? Leave us, I wish to speak with her alone," and with that everyone but her and Frigga had left. "Come my dear, tell me your name," Frigga outstretched her hand and gestured for Casey to come closer. Slowly, Casey approached and took her hand.

"Now child, tell me your name for starters."

"Casey… um Casey Marie Thorington."

"Casey," Frigga smiled, "How did you come to Asgard?"

"I… I do not know. I was running then I started to get light headed and then suddenly everything went white and I fell. Then I woke up in the forest just outside the city walls."

"Are you frightened child?" Frigga looked to Casey with concern.

"I don't know is frightened is the word…" Casey sensed someone else was with them in the room. She looked around to see no one.

"You sense him too don't you?" Frigga said. Casey whipped her head back to look at the queen. She had a smirk on her face. "My dear son if you're going to lurk in the shadows you'll have to do better than this. If a mortal can sense you than anyone can."

"Oh mother come now I am still only learning," Casey turned to see a tall man clad in green and gold armor with black as night hair tucked behind his ears, "And besides, you're the one who taught me all I know." He wore a wicked grin as he approached Casey.

"Casey, meet my youngest son Prince Loki."

"Umm.. uh… Hi." She immediately regretted her greeting and the prince could plainly see it on her face. He deeply chuckled as he walked past her to stand by his mother.

"It would seem our guest has found a secret passage to Asgard, one that Heimdall could not see. How… interesting," Loki stared at Casey making her feel uncomfortable.

"That is possible…" Frigga looked at Casey with kind eyes, "Well it is decided! You shall stay as my guest until we find out why you are here."

"Wait you think that I have a purpose here?" Casey was confused and bewildered, "Can I not go home? Is there no way for me to go home?" Tears began to build up in her eyes.

"My dear," Frigga began, "No mortal comes to Asgard by chance."

"But my friends and amy family! They will wonder!"

"Silence child, you will be able to visit them, but for now your place is here." Frigga's voice became stern.

"Welcome to Asgard mortal," Loki chimed.

Thank you so much for reading the first chapter! I will have the next one up soon since this was kind of short and not much Loki. Please remember to leave feedback! I feed off of it so that I can make a better product for you to enjoy!
