Intro
Asgard: a beautiful place of peace and prosperity. A home to gods and goddesses. Asgard was my home. I was born and raised in Asgard till that one faithful day. Before I can get into what happened I must give a back round on how things went wrong.
Chapter One
I was not like all the other girls in Asgard. Being a girl you were expected to learn to be polite and responsible. Do what ever you were told and when you were told. You had to dress nice and wear dresses. But that was not my style. I liked running around and being loud. Having fun fighting other kids pretending to be warriors off to battle the frost giants. Many gods and goddesses did not approve of this but that's just how I was and I was not alone. There were a few other girls that were like me. We often joined forces against the boys when we would pretend battle. Once we reached the age of five we were sent to Battle lessons. I was one of three girls their, the rest were boys. The teacher would give us the basics and then lets us spar. I was always with the same group: Me, Siff, and Freja. We were the only girls and well we had to stick together. One day during battle practice a boy kept making snide remarks about girls not being able to fight.
"If you asked me girls should be kept at home and away from battle." said the boy. "Good thing nobody asked you Goldie locks!" I shouted at him. I had a very short temper for a ten year old and everyone knew to fear it. All the boys burst out laughing and the yellow haired boy began to blush. "Do you know who I am?' he asked "I am an Odin son." That honestly didn't make a difference to me. "Are you I thought you were a girl with all that hair." The boys face turned beat read and he started to run at me. I never back down from a challenge so I ran at him too. We were about to collide when a hand grabbed us. There was Odin smiling down at us. He put some distance from me and the boy and turned to me. "Hello there. I see your enjoying your practice a little too much." I blushed. I didn't want to get in trouble by Odin. He smirked and asked "What is your name child?" "My name is Loviisa." I said. He smiled and said "Loviisa you must learn to control your temper. It is not good for a young one to have so much anger." I nodded to show I understood. Odin then turned and looked down at the boy with a frown on his face. "I thought I raised you better than to attack a girl? You must never do so again. Do you understand Thor?" Thor looked up at his father and nodded his head. Practice was over and I walked off with Siff and Freja. We walked for a while and finaly someone spoke. Siff turned and said "Why did you do that? Why did you have to attack Thor?" I stopped walking and looked at her. "Because he insulted us. He had to be corrected." "He didn't mean anything by it. He was just joking." I turned and looked at her. She looked upset. "Why does it matter? You have never said anything before when we yell at the boys." Her face started to get pink "I never yell anything at the boys its you who always says something! You need to control your self or else your going to get us in trouble!" " Control myself! How can you say that? I've always defended you Siff and now you choose to yell at me about my temper!" I could tell I was starting to loose my temper. Freja had a nervous look on her face. "Come on guys. Stop fighting." I looked at Siff, she looked angrier than I've ever seen her. I decided to walk away before I really lost it. "You're just jealous! You wish you were more like a boy so you could fight and not be looked down upon!" I turned around and looked at Siff. "You think I'm jealous of Thor and the boys? Wow Siff and I thought you were smart. I'm not jealous of anyone! I'm proud to be a girl warrior, there's not many of us and I like that I'm one of a rare kind." Siff's eyes started to mist. She looked at Freja. "What do you think? Do you think she's just jealous and needs to control her temper?" Freja looked torn. She was friends with both of us and didn't want to insult the other. I couldn't wait any longer for Freja to answer. "You know what Siff? I think you like Thor. I see the way you look at him. It's obvious." Siff blushed and I saw Freja stiffen and give Siff a dirty look. "If you care more about that boy then our friendship then leave I don't want to be bothered with you anymore!" Siff started to cry "Fine! You won't have to be bothered with me anymore! I'm leaving!" I watched Siff run away crying. I turned around and looked at Freja. "What?" She looked at me and said "You do realize you made a big mistake. You just lost one of your best friends." " She's no friend of mine. If you want to talk to her go ahead I won't stop you." Freja turned and walked away, "I wasn't asking permission." With that I watched my friend walk away and things were never the same since.
Chapter Two
Years went by. I soon got what I wanted. To be known as warrior but not in a good way. People feared me. I would fight people for just looking at me the wrong way. I was seventeen and very angry. Odin was starting to grow tired of my antics. He would often speak to me and I would pretend to listen and leave and get into a fight an hour later. I started to seclude my self. Going to the forest to be alone and read my books. But for some reason I would always feel like I was being watched.
One day while I was a book I heard a load crack and a yelp. I jumped up looking around for what made the noise. I saw two feet in front of me a boy getting up and dusting himself off. He looked up at me and gave me a nervous grin. I smiled and sat back down and began to read my book again. I was about to read a good part when I heard a "Hello." I looked up to see the boy looking at me smiling. I decided to ignore him and hope that he would go away. I continued to read when he spoke again. "I know this will sound odd but I've been watching you and I would like to talk to you." I answered back without looking up from my book. "You're right that does sound odd and I can't say I would like to talk to you." I looked up to find him frowning and looking at me with sad eyes. "I didn't mean to upset you. I only wish to be friends." I rolled my eyes. I've heard that line before and didn't care to hear it again. "Fine if you wish me to leave I shall." And with that last remark he disappeared. I was a little curious to how he left so quickly. I wondered aloud "how did he do that?" "It's quite simple actually. I just disappear. It comes naturally" I jumped what felt like six feet in the air and looked up to see the boy in the tree laughing at my surprise. "I thought you said you were going to leave?" I sneered at him. I didn't like company anymore. I liked being alone. He looked shocked that I wasn't smiling. "I'm sorry. I didn't think you actually wanted me to leave. I shall go." He hoped down from the tree and looked at me again with those sad eyes. I was looking into them and noticed they were green. They were quite beautiful. Like they wanted to tell me a story. But I quickly snapped out of it and sat down to read my book in peace. That night I dreamt about those eyes.
Chapter Three
The next day I went for a swim in the lake. I felt like I was being watched again. I came to the surface expecting to see the boy again but found Thor and a few friends looking at me. "What do you want Thor?" I yelled to him. He smiled he always liked to bother me. "I just wish to swim. Is that a problem?" "It is if your girlfriend doesn't know." Thor has been dating Siff for quite some time. He was always the flirt and even thought me and Siff separated on bad terms I still cared for her. Thor looked at me and frowned. "You're no fun Loviisa. I just wish to swim with you and maybe get to know you." Thor was about to get into the water when a hand pulled him back. It was the boy. He looked at Thor with a dark look on his face. "Thor get away from her. When a maiden asks you to leave her alone you do so." Thor smirked and looked at the boy. "Loki leave me be. I shall do what I want when I want." Loki looked even more serious, "Have you forgotten about Siff or should I mention the other girl you have been watching." Thor seemed to be angry with the fact that Loki had known about the other girl. "Leave Thor before this matter turns for the worst." Thor looked at Loki and then looked at me. "Pardon me maiden but I seem to be needed else were." With that Thor walked away, bumping into Loki while leaving with his friends. Loki was looking down at ground for a few minutes. I was waiting for him to say something. "Are you ok?" I said. I couldn't take the silence anymore. He smiled still looking down, "Yes. I'm fine." "Then why are you looking down?" He smirked again and said "I do not wish to stare and make you uncomfortable. I do believe you do not like my company." I blushed realizing he was quoting me. "I'm sorry that I said that. You seem to be very nice. You didn't deserve my rudeness." He smiled again but did not respond. "Well are you going to come in the water or just look at the dirt all day?" He looked up and smiled again. "I would love to join you but I'm not much of a swimmer." I smiled at him, "ok then ill come out and join you." I swam to the shallow part and walked out. He continued to look down again. I started to laugh. "What's so funny?" he asked. "Well you are. You keep looking down and hiding those beautiful green eyes from me." His face shot up and flashed a shocking smile at me. "Would you like to join me on a walk through the woods." He asked smiling. "Of course I would." We walked through the woods for hours. Laughing and talking about each other. He seemed so different from what I heard people say about Thor's brother. They always warned me about him but he was always so kind and friendly. We became close in the last week we spent together. We often sat in the forest reading books to each other. I was reading a book out loud when turned to me and said "What do you like most about me?" I looked at him, "You do realize I was up to a great part and you interrupted it." He looked at me completely serious. His were staring at me as if they were searching my soul. "Seriously Loviisa, what do you like most about me?" I could tell he was serious. "Why does it matter I like all of you." He continued to stare at me. "Ok ok. I like your eyes. They're so beautiful." His face lit up. "I'm glad you like them." I smiled glad to get back to the book. I started to read again when I felt his hand on my cheek. I felt my face get hot and turned and looked at him. "Loki what are you…" that's all I could get out before he brought his face close to mine and kissed me. It was great. He was so gentle and warm. He pulled away smiling at me. We started to laugh and I laid my head on his shoulder. "So does this make us a couple?" Loki asked. I wasn't sure if I wanted a relationship. I liked being alone but I did enjoy Loki's company. I looked up and smiled at him. "Yeah I guess you can say that." He smiled and pulled me closer. "What do you say we finish this book?" I started to laugh and let him continue the story.
Chapter Four
The next few months were great. I began to socialize more with Loki's assistance. I didn't need much help. I knew how to talk to people but the problem was people didn't want to talk to me. I had quite the reputation as a loose cannon. Many people were cautious around me but I soon started gaining peoples trust. I no longer resided in the forest and went to events in Asgard. I was often found in the library and in the dinning hall. Even though people started accepting me again, there were two individuals I had not spoken to.
I was sitting in the Library one evening enjoying a book when someone pulled up a chair in front of me. I looked up expecting to see Loki when I saw Siff looking right at me. "Hello." She smiled at me and said "Is that all you have to say?" I smirked what was she expecting a full apology? "Yeah I think that's how people start conversations but if you know a different way go ahead." She rolled her eyes. "Same old Loviisa, always being sarcastic. What I meant are you going to apologize?" Of course she wanted an apology. The same old Siff always demanding things. "I'll apologize when you apologize, Siff." She looked completely taken back by what I said. "You think I need to apologize? Are you serious Loviisa?" I smirked "Please lower your voice Siff I don't wish to get kicked out of the library." I returned to my book ignoring the dirty look she was giving me. Next thing I knew my book was out of my hand and soaring through the air. "What the hell Siff? I really liked that book!" "Of course you care more about the book then your friends!" I was surprised she still considered us friends, it through me off. I started tripping over my words when Siff interrupted me. "I know we haven't spoken in years but I've always considered you to be a great friend." I was so confused. She always avoided me and now she chooses to talk to me. "If were such great friends then why have you ignored me? You always look in the opposite direction when I come by." She looked down at the desk. "I don't like that you're with Loki. He's no good; you do realize he's the god of mischief?" I smirked. "Why do you care who I'm with? You don't have the right to make judgments' Siff. You're with a man who can't keep his eyes off other women." Her face was no longer friendly. She jumped out of her chair and started shouting, "You have no right to say that about Thor! He's a great man and a great warrior! He's ten times the god Loki is!" Why did she have to bring Loki into this? "Loki is good to me. I don't know if you can say the same about Thor but if you have faith in him then that's great. I'm going to leave now before I loose my temper." I got out of my chair and picked up my book. I looked at Siff and saw the same face I looked at the day we stopped talking.
Chapter Five
After my argument with Siff people started talking again. Everyone doubted that I changed for the better. I ignored the looks and continued living my life. Loki and my relationship was growing stronger daily. He supported me no matter what people said. He turned and looked at me one day in the library. "Are you going to talk to Freja or avoid her like your avoiding Siff?" I couldn't believe he asked that. "I'm not avoiding anyone. Siff and I had a disagreement and now we're keeping are distance, that is perfectly fine." He gave me that classic Loki look, like he knew there was more to the story. Which there was; I was avoiding Siff. I didn't want to argue again, I respected Siff even though she annoyed the hell out of me that day. "You know Loviisa I can tell you're lieing. Please talk to Freja, you two were good friends and now you have the opportunity to talk again." He gave me a smile that always melted my heart. "Fine I'll talk to her but I'm going to talk to Siff for a good long time." He chuckled "That's all I can ask."
I honestly didn't know how I was going to talk to Freja. We didn't leave on bad terms, well we did but she could have chosen to still be my friend. I decided I would just walk up to her and say hello. The problem was where ever Siff was Freja was not far behind.
