HOLA! Thank you for deciding to give my story a chance. Please read and leave constructive criticism! This is a story about my OC Anna Gray, and what happens when she meets Loki of Asgard!
Rated T for language and violence, plus a thoughts of suicide. I don't own the Avengers, if I did, much would change. Please review and read! Hoping to add new chapters every week or so. Thanks!
Loki stood at the foot of the golden throne in the Asgardian castle. His adoptive father, kidnapper, whatever he was sat on the elaborate throne with his staff Gungir at his side. Loki looked at his restraints, and knew that escape was hopeless. The handcuffs were designed to cancel out all Asgardian abilities, magical or physical. Loki was lacking in the latter, but he made up for it with his illusion abilities. As if the cuffs weren't enough, they also had chains extending from the cuffs to be held by trusted guards, and a metal collar around his neck, which was also connected to the cuffs by chains.
"Well, I don't think you have enough restraints, personally I would-"
"LOKI! YOU HAVE BEEN BROUGHT HERE TO RECEIVE JUDGEMENT ON YOUR ACTIONS ON MIDGARD!" Odin interrupted.
"Do you mean the destruction of New York, or attempting to enslave all of humankind and become their king?" Loki asked condescendingly.
"Your actions are punishable by banishment or imprisonment! Make your choice, Laufeys-son!" Odin commanded.
"Such a tough decision really, I mean I could go for imprisonment, or eternal banishment. I think, however I will go with the banishment so I don't have to look at those god-awful outfits. I mean, the circles are a bit much." Loki chuckled.
"As you have chosen. LOKI LAUFEYS-SON OF JOTENHEIM, I ODIN, KING OF ASGARD, HEREBY BANISH YOU TO MIDGARD. TO THE TOWN OF DESERT FALLS. YOU SHALL LIVE UNSEEN AND UNHEARD BY THE MIDGARDIANS, NOR WILL YOU RETAIN ANY OF YOUR ABILITIES! YOU SHALL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR DAYS ON THE PLANET YOU SOUGHT TO ENSLAVE! AS I DECREE, SO SHALL IT BE DONE! I HEREBY BANISH YOU, LOKI LAUFEYS-SON OF JOTENHEIM!"
"Midguard? Earth? No! Please!" Loki pleaded.
"Take him to the Bifrost, and have him delivered to Midguard." Odin said, not even looking at Loki. Loki struggled and pleaded not to be sent to Earth, but Odin ignored him. The dozen guards escorted him to the bifrost and snapped a bracelet made from the same materials as the cuffs before they removed his restraints.
"What's this? I can't even use magic! How am I to survive!" Loke exclaimed. The guards ignored him, and Heimdall placed his sword into the slot that started the bifrost. Realizing that it was hopeless to fight, Loki stopped talking and just stood at the edge of the round chamber. He turned to face the Bifrost, and closed his eyes as he fell through the portal.
Kill. Kill. DESTROY! Anna jerked awake, panting and covered in sweat. All she could remember from her dream was death and rivers of blood. She got up and wobbled to the bathroom, her legs shaking. Anna splashed cold water on her face and the back of her neck. She rubbed her eyes and looked into the mirror. There she saw the source of her torment. Her burgundy colored eyes. She hated her eyes with a passion. Anna supposed that her eyes were the reason her mother had abandoned her to an orphanage, and eventual foster care. Her eyes were the reason she had been tossed from house to house, each one becoming more awful with each change. Her eyes contrasted with her pale skin, and ink black hair, making Anna stand out.
Anna quickly showered-the water was luke-warm at best, and dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. Hoping her foster parents were still asleep, Anna quietly grabbed a pop tart from the pantry. She heard the floorboards creak and knew that it wasn't her lucky day.
"What the hell d'ya think yer doin'?" a female voice asked.
"Getting breakfast." Anna replied coldly. She was in no mood to deal with her crap guardians this morning.
"And who said you could steal our food?" Ruth demanded. Anna turned around to face her foster mother. Ruth Good, the last name was definitely a misnomer, was standing between Anna and escape through the front door. Ruth was wearing a messy nightdress and had curlers in her bleached blonde hair.
"It's not stealing, Mrs. Ruth. You are required to feed me three times a day, remember?"
"Hmph. Ya need to ask, ya little bitch. Don't look at me like that! God, yer eyes are truly disturbing. Get out of mah sight." Ruth turned and shuffled back to her room. Sighing, Anna grabbed her backpack and walked out of the small one story house. Pulling her hair into a messy ponytail, Anna trudged to the bus stop in the humid Texas heat. Desert Falls was her most recent place of residence, and it was a tiny speck of a town on the Texas coast. The town didn't even have a beach, only cliffs.
Anna looked up and noticed the dark brooding clouds. With Texas's ever-changing weather, it could rain for five minutes, or get to a major thunderstorm. Only time would tell. As she waited at the bus stop, Anna wished she had packed her umbrella just in case. Ruth would yell at her if she came in wet and dripped in her house. By the time she arrived at Desert Falls High School, Anna already wished for the day to be over. Even though she had been attending DFHS for almost a year, she still received strange looks and rude comments on her eyes.
A feeling of hopelessness overtook her as she noticed her main bully strutting up the front steps. Monica Farrington was the queen bee and the mayor's daughter. She got away with almost everything and anything, from drinking to assaulting. Anna looked at the ground and tried to get past Monica and her bitch crew without them noticing her. Of course, her attempt failed miserably.
"Hey, vampire bitch! Hey, I'm talking to you, devil spawn. What do you think you're doing? Did you think you could get past me? Get over here." Monica called.
Anna looked over at Monica and her group of jocks and slutty cheerleaders, the ultimate stereotype. Monica was wearing a dress that barely covered her butt, and was probably supposed to be a shirt, and stripper heels. How she walked all day in those, Anna never knew. Anna kept moving forward into the school and blended with the crowd of students heading to class. Anna could hear Monica calling for her, and knew that she would pay for her actions later. Right about lunch time, to be specific.
The bell that ended third period sounded and Anna picked up her bag and headed for the cafeteria. While she was walking in the halls, she felt a burning pain on the back of her head, and then everything went black.
Anna woke up in a dingy classroom. Her heart sank when she noticed Monica and her two closest allies standing in front of her. Anna tried to sit up, but she felt too dizzy and her head was pounding too hard for her to move. She touched the back of her head and felt a warm liquid. She looked at her hand and saw that it was covered in blood.
"Hello vamp. How's your day been? Murder anyone yet?" Monica sniggered. Her clique giggled along with their queen.
"What do you want Monica?" Anna asked dazedly.
"Well, you were quite rude to me this morning. I only want you to pay for ignoring me." Monica smiled.
"What, did I embarrass you in front of your little group of followers? Did they abandon you just because a nobody like me ignored you? You poor thing." Anna stated, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Shut up, you bitch!" Monica screamed and stomped on Anna's chest, making her lose her breath.
"I…never thought…that the queen…Monica would stoop so low to beat her own defenseless prey." Anna gasped.
"You're right. It would be a pity to ruin these new shoes. They are Louboutin after all." Monica motioned to her minions. They strode forward and began kicking Anna. Anna tried to curl into a defensive position, but she was yanked up by someone and held up. She could tell it was a guy keeping her up based on his strong grip. Suddenly, she became equivalent to a punching bag as Monica and her lackeys began beating her. After what seemed like forever, Anna was released and she fell to the floor. She gasped for breath and coughed up blood. She wiped her mouth and looked up to see that the group had left. Relieved, she allowed herself to succumb to unconciousness.
When she woke, Anna could tell that the school day was over because she could not hear any footsteps, and it was almost dark outside. Anna knew she was covered in bruises, and she knew that this would be the last straw for Ruth. Being late and injured would cause Ruth to call her handler, and send her to another home. Anna was sick of moving and sick of being bullied all day. Wiping tears from her eyes, Anna limped out of the school. Everybody had left, even the janitors. She walked into the nearby woods, determined to walk all the way to the cliffs.
Anna stumbled through the dark, falling more than once, bruising her already beaten body even more. It took her about an hour to reach the cliffs. It was hard to tell time since her bag and her phone had been taken to god knows where. Anna looked down at the rolling sea. She sat at the edge of the cliff, her legs dangling off the sheer edge. Anna recalled her crap life, from growing up at an orphanage and never being adopted, to being beaten like a dog, only hours ago. She knew that jumping would be a gift to everyone. People probably wouldn't even notice her absence. Deciding her fate, Anna stood up and looked down into the tumbling sea. Tears streamed down her face and Anna was sad that she didn't do more with her life. It was her god damn eyes fault, she thought.
Anna looked up at the night sky for what would be the last time, when she saw the blinding rainbow of light fall from the sky behind her. Anna winced and covered her eyes until the brightness faded. When her eyes adjusted, she noticed the dark-haired man standing where the light had been. Around him was a circle of strange symbols, and he was clothed in strange green and black leather. Anna backed up from the man, and stumbled on a rock. She saw him look back at her, his eyes widening as he saw her begin to fall. Weightlessness overtook her, and Anna fell from the cliff edge, down into the cold sea.
