I Will Hunt You Down

Loki's Revenge

The back story:

Set long before the truth about Loki's parentage was revealed. Back when he was at the old age of 16.

A time when Thor and the warriors three wereLoki's only friends…or at least the only friends Thor and Odin knew about…

The maid:

"Prince Loki's room needs cleaning…again!" Soothy complained to her assistant Desiree. Soothy was an old woman, with a hard shell but a heart as loyal and kind as any Asgardian. She was approaching the age for her to retire and so the head lady in waiting had asked her to take on an apprentice and so she hired Desiree to help her look after the two Princes'.

Desiree just shook her head. She was a plain thing at first glance, but when one took the time to look below the surface they would appreciate her uniquely shaped eyes, modest but full lips, and a petite nose. Her hair was long, straight and as dark as night with white strips at its tips. Her eyes were a deep chocolate brown colour but, in the right light, they held flecks of gold.

"Your too hard on him, he doesn't do it on purpose, his been practicing his sorcery again, and I don't think his been sleeping properly of late."

"Humph" Soothy huffed, "simple fix, practice outside and drink sleeping potions like the rest of us." She said in her matter of fact voice.

Although Desiree knew better, she found herself leaping to the princes' defence. "He tried taking a sleeping potion the other night, but it had no effect."

"Oh and why would he tell you, hmmm?" Soothy asked with a sly smile, she knew that Loki had taken a liking to her young apprentice and though the girl would never admit it Desiree liked him too. Desiree just sighed and turned away. Soothy smiled broadly.
