You Are My Destruction

Prologue

I was running... Running as fast as I could through the forest. The further I ran the less I remembered- and suddenly, it all vanished. Nothing but name remained in my mind as I looked around at the dark trees surrounding me. I fell to the ground as I sobbed. Where was I?

I could hear horse galloping in the distance. I quickly leaned my back against a tree, sobbing louder. I couldn't remember where I was, or what had happened to me. Everything was a blur all the memories I could think of were blurs in my mind- I had no recollection of any of my life. The galloping stopped as three horses stopped a few feet away from me. I couldn't control the sobbing as three people walked over to me.

"Are you alright?" An older man asked, he was suited in armor. I shook my head, looking at my hands which were dug into the dirt. "What's your name?" The man asked as he put his hand on my shoulder delicately.

"T-Tasha." I stuttered, trying to wrack my brains, attempting to force myself to remember anything.

"Why are you out here all alone?"

I looked up at the man. Behind him a few feet away were two younger men, maybe a few years older than me. The one had dirty blonde hair and had an arrogance about his stance, but the other had raven black hair. As I stared at the boy, he stared back at me. His green eyes met mine and I couldn't help but stare.

"I don't know..." I replied honestly. "I can't remember anything but my name."

The man stood up, putting out his hand. "Come, we shall take you somewhere safe."

I wearily looked from the two boys then back at him. "You can trust us. I am King Odin. These are my two sons- Thor and Loki." I looked back at the two boys and nodded. I took Odin's hand, having him lift me up onto Loki's horse behind him. I felt nauseous, like I was about to pass out. I leaned my head against Loki's back as everything went dark.

I heard muffled voices as I began to regain consciousness. I slowly opened my eyes, being blinded by the light coming from the open windows. I sat up slowly, seeing the two boys leaning against a wall while their father walked over to me. I shouldn't call them boys, they were teenagers just as I- except I was fifteen, while they must have been two years older.

"How are you feeling?" Odin asked me, a small smile on his face.

"Better. Thank you." I looked around at the room in a daze.

"Have you remembered anything?"

I shook my head. "The last thing I remember was being alone in that forest. Nothing else comes, no matter how hard I try."

"It'll be alright." Odin smiled at me.

"Why are you so nice to me?" I asked him as I ran my fingers through my long, curly hair.

"You're a lost child." Odin smiled at me as he put his hand on mine. "You deserve a family. If you remember and want to leave you have that choice but my wife and I would like to adopt you."

I looked from Odin to his two sons who seemed to already know this. Loki wouldn't look at me, his gaze fixed on the ground. Thor grinned at me. "Would that mean that I...I would be a princess?" I asked, astonished.

"After you're coronation, yes. This is a lot for one day. Have some rest. If you need anything there are guards outside your room that you can ask for." Odin smiled, patting my hand before leaving the room with Loki and Thor. Before they vanished from my sight I could see Loki staring at me.

Hours went by and I remained in my bed, trying to remember whatever I could. The most I could remember was my first name and my age, everything else was just a blur in my mind. I stood up off the bed, walking over to the window. I saw a beautiful ocean, gardens and many people in the courtyard. A knock came to the door as Thor entered the room.

"My father has asked me to escort you to dinner." He smiled at me, leaning against the door frame.

"With the King and Queen of Asguard, and the Princes." I muttered softly as I walked over to him. "I'm Thor. We were not properly introduced." He shook my hand roughly.

I smiled. "I'm Tasha."

As we walked along the corridor I began to ask Thor questions. "How old are you and your brother?"

"I am turning eighteen while Loki is turning seventeen."

"Really?"

"Does that surprise you?" Thor smiled at me.

"You just seem older." I smiled, noticing Thor was wearing very formal clothing. I looked down and noticed I was still wearing a simple grey dress. I frowned. "I'm underdressed."

Thor smiled as we entered the dining hall through a large door. "You look fine, besides you'll have a whole new wardrobe tomorrow."

Odin was standing with who I assumed to be his wife. Thor motioned for me to walk over to them and I did so slowly. Odin smiled at me as I walked up to them. The woman turned and smiled at me, she was wearing a beautiful gold dress. Yep. I was SO underdressed.

"Tasha, this is my wife, Frigga." I curtsied the best I could without a skirt. Frigga chuckled. "There's no need for that, child. Soon you will be a princess." She smiled at me as the motioned for us to walk to the table.

I noticed as I walked over to the table with them that Loki was standing at the table next to Thor. Loki wore a black and green outfit, and I couldn't help but stare a few seconds too long as I took a seat at the table. While everyone began to eat I just pushed the food around my plate, frowning.

"Is the food not good?" Frigga asked, pointing to all the food on my plate.

"No- it's amazing. And I am so grateful for everything you have done." I paused as I stared at my plate. "I just wish I could remember something- anything." I took a small bite of the meat on my plate.

"I'm sure one day you will remember." Frigga insisted while we finished our meal.

I sat out on a bench in the garden, staring at the beautiful sunset over the ocean. I looked at the flowers that surrounded me- roses, tulips, orchids. I had never been anywhere with such beauty.

"Roses are my favorite." A voice said from behind me. I turned my head to see Loki standing a few feet away. He slowly walked over to the bench and sat beside me. "They're dangerous, yet so beautiful."

I smiled as I stared at the red and white roses. "They're my favorite too."

"I never had a chance to properly introduce myself." I turned to face him, shaking his hand slowly. "I am Loki."

"I'm Tasha, but I'm sure you knew that already." I smiled, leaning my back against the bench. I noticed Loki staring at me from the corner of my eye, but I tried to ignore it. "Tomorrow you shall be my adopted sister. And I promise I will keep you safe with my life." Loki looked into my eyes with a seriousness I never thought possible.

"Thank you, Loki. But I will fight alongside you and Thor. I may seem weak, but I assure you I am not."

Loki chuckled, touching my cheek with his cold hand. "I believe you. But it is my duty to protect you."

I smiled, standing up as the sky went dark. "I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye, Loki."
