Sigyn's betrayal

There are only really a few stories to tell in the end, and betrayal and the failure of love is one of those good stories to tell.

"Loki… I love him", replied a close to tears Sigyn. "A mortal? You love a mortal!" He was beyond pissed, "We are to be married, and you love another." "Our marriage is off, I have a child with him, I am leaving tonight." She said quietly, he face wore a calm composer. "A child?" He had an evil smirk, "If you leave me, Sigyn I will make you a promise to return to your beloved child and it will pay for your betrayal to me." "Loki no!" She cried, it was to late she wasn't on Asgard anymore she was in her baby girl's nursery. She looked down at her baby sleeping soundly in her crib, "I am so sorry, she whispered quietly.

On Asgard Loki looked down on the weeping Sigyn, a smile toyed at the corners of his lips. This was perfect.

"Aire? Are you up? You're going to be late." Arie let off a groan, and slowly got out of bed. She made her way to her counter; Looking into the mirror she let off a small sigh. Looks like she had some work to do, striating her black hair quickly and then she started to put on her make up, black eye shadow made her grey eye stand out. Taking off her she walked to her closet and put on her uniform, then darted down stairs. Arie smiled as she saw her mom, Arie looked nothing like her, she had curly black hair and green eyes. Arie had straight black hair and grey eye. Arie thought she looked more like her dad. "Hey can I borrow the bike?" She gave me a smirk, "Yes just be careful." She said in a warm voice. "Thanks!" Arie called out, as she grabbed the keys and made her way out the apartment door. Talking the elevator down to the parking garage, she hopped on her BMW HP2 sport motorcycle, quickly she put on the helmet and rode off.

Arie arrived at the bookstore, five minutes to spare. Running into the store she saw her boss Megan, "Hey!" Arie called, "Aire, can you take cash?" Megan called from the supply room, "Sure" she said nonchalantly, heading to the cash register, there was no one in the book store, and it was 12:35 thought. This is going to be a very long day, she thought solemnly. Arie was off on summer brake from the University of New Brunswick; She came home to spend time with her parents., and her boyfriend Jimmy. Around 2:12 after serving an old woman, a man came to the cash, "Excuse me, do you have any Shakespeare?" Aire looked at the man, he was a tall, with black hair, and Emerald green eye. "Yes, at the back, by the mythology." He smirked "Thank you", he said in an English accent. Arie watched as he walked very gracefully to the back, after five minutes the man came back. Placing the book Romeo and Juliet on the counter. Arie smiled warmly a the man, ringing the book up, "That will be $13.99, will you be paying in cash or credit?" She asked, looking up at the man. "Cash." He purred, he handed her the money. He accidently brushed his fingers against hers. Arie felt a blush creep up on her cheeks. "Sorry" She said quietly, "No I am the one that is sorry." Arie smiled, as the man grabbed the book and left the store.

"Megan I am going to taking my lunch brake, okay?" "Sure" Arie grabbed her book and jacket, she walked to the park near the book store. It was an amazing spring day, in Toronto. The wind was blowing and the clouds where covering the sun, she loved that type of weather. Finding a spot on a bench, she sat down and started to read Alice in Wonderland.

After thirty minutes, she headed back to work and continued to work till 7:30; Arie quickly clocked off and went to the back of the store. She hopped on the motorcycle, revving off she drove off. She passed Queen Street , turning left she headed to the parking garage. Getting off the bike Arie headed to her family's apartment. I opened our door and went in "Hey mom, I'm home" Arie didn't get a reply, "Mom?" Arie called out again, starting to get a little nervous, "Oh hi, Aire." Her mom said a bit breathless. She let off a sigh of relife, "When does dad get home?" Arie asked curiously . "Your father gets home tomorrow." Arie nodded and walked to her room; putting her long hair in a ponytail she got on a pair of black track pants and a nave blue tee shirt on, she was dying to get out of the uniform all day. Walking down stairs again, she saw her mom with dinner on the table; "Wow you are fast." Arie said to her mom with a smile. "Well I try." He mom said coolly. Arie sat in a chair and began to eat, "So got a boyfriend yet?" Arie chocked on her food, "Ya, me and Jimmy have a date tomorrow at the park." She gave her a sad smile, after dinner Arie finished reading Alice in Wonderland again, Arie slowly headed to the bookshelf, hmmm what to read, she thought questionly. She started to look through the books; Then she came across one about Norse Gods and Goddesses. She wasn't big about God and stuff like that, but She have read every other book in this house so it would be different. The book was big, and old. She opened the book and started to read it.

Loki or Loptr is the god of lies and mischief, known to give birth to the eight- legged horse Sleipnir. Loki is a shape shifter, and usually appears in the form of a mare, seal, fly, magpie, and salmon. Further reading she read about Loki and how he married the Goddess Sigyn. "What are you doing?" My mom looked horrified, Arie shot her a confused look " I am reading." "Don't read suck garbage" she hissed, grabbing the book from her hands. "Okay, mom" she was so confused; she watched as her mom headed back into her bedroom. Shrugging, she headed to her bed room and fell asleep.

The morning was a blur all Arie remember is riding to work, "Aire, hey you alive?" Arie slowly looked over to see her friend Christina, "There you are " she said with a smile. Arie smirked "Whatever" she moaned. "Okay, well I get off at 3, today what about you?" Christina said looking at her dully." I get off at 3:23" Arie replied "Okay, well want to hang out?" "Can't, date with Jimmy." "Yay! You have a date!" Arie gave her a death look, "I don't mean it like that, and you're just to pretty not to date anyone." Arie smirked, "Okay"

She was waiting in the park for Jimmy; she checked her clock 5:45. Letting out a frustrated sigh, she dialed his number went straight to voicemail, "Hey Jimmy, it's me if you don't bother to come, at least call me, so I don't look like a fucking idiot!" she screamed into the phone, she headed home beyond pissed; Arie was at the door when she heard my mom. "No you can't take her, she is only twenty," She sounded very desperate. "Sigyn, I will wait until her twenty-first birthday, then I will come. Till then, savor every moment you have with her, because once I have her you will never see her again." Arie shivered at the voices words, what where they talking about? She thought , her twenty-first birthday was in six months. She opened the door; only her mom was there, no one else. "Mom what was that about?" "Oh nothing sweetie", she gave me a fake smile. "Your lying to me, what is going on?" She let out a sigh, "I am not who I appear to be. I am the Goddess Sigyn." My mind was racing a million miles a minute, "But then why are you here? The book said you where married to the God Loki." "I was to be married to Loki." Arie looked at her in disbelief, "Come sit I will tell you everything."

By the end of the night she found out my mom was a Goddess, and I was a demi- goddess. "So why did that man come?" Aire finally asked, she needed to know. "He came to talk to me, about things you wouldn't under stand." "Okay" She went to my room and slept, she was exhausted, drained, and confused. She laid her head on the pillow and sleep hit her like a wave.

In the morning Arie awoke to her phone going off, Jimmy had sent her a message. "Hey sorry for skipping out, I was attacked by a Magpie." She let out a laugh that was the worst excuse she had ever heard of. She didn't bother to reply. She got out of bed and put on some black eyeliner and eye shadow, and then straitened her hair. Arie headed down stairs, she saw her dad at the table, "Dad!" she ran to him and gave him a hug. "How was, New Jersey?" "Good, good" she smiled and grabbed a bowl of cereal. After she finished my cereal, she got dressed. Arie put on a pair of black leggings, and a red shirt with black stripes on it. Arie didn't have to work today, so she was going to go for a walk in Forest park. When she got there, Arie noticed the sky was gloomy. She would have to make it a quick walk, before it rains.

Arie headed into the forest, the flowers where starting to bloom, and the snow was all gone. She needed to clear my head; She was confused she sat down on a fallen log. Arie took a deep breath in, after a minute she let it out in a huff. Looking at the tall trees and the birds that where flying across the fly. She noticed a Magpie land on the log in front of her. She laughed, "So you're the big scary thing that scared my boyfriend?" She said lamely to the bird "I do believe I am." Arie's eyes widened, she looked at the Magpie, but it wasn't a Magpie any more, it was a man. Her eyes widened and she let off a scream, taking off in a mad dash from the log. She ran off the trail and deeper into the forest, Arie was hiding behind a tree. Taking deep breaths she tried to calm herself , it wasn't real, she just have a lot of stress on her shoulders and she was hallucinating, she thought to herself. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath and then she heard a cruel laugh. Oh god, she though horrified.

Slowly she opened her eyes, hoping this was a dream. Arie saw it was the man from the bookstore; he was wearing some weird outfit. she let off another scream and backed right into the tree. The man smiled, " What is your name?" the kindness in his voice unnerved Arie. She was shacking like a leaf, "A-Aire", her voice a faint whisper. "Such a beautiful name for a very beautiful girl." Arie was looking for a way out of here, she was terrified. "Don't hurt me, please. I will give you my money." she begged. He laughed, "I wouldn't even think about that, why would I hurt such a delicate creature." He came so close to her. "Aire, I am Loki the god of Mischief, I will be seeing you very shortly." He had a smile on his face, in a flash he disappeared; she was left in the forest alone. Once Arie found her way back to the path, she ran back home.

She got to the door; Arie stopped to catch her breath. Entering the apartment she ran to her moms room, "Mom? Are you there?" "Yes", she opened the door and gave Arie a smile. "I met Loki," she said in a quiet voice. Her face went pale, "What did he want?" she said in a shaky voice. "He wanted to know my name." She let out a breath of air, "Okay, don't worry about it dear, it won't happen again." Her words comfort her, but in her heart Arie knew they were lies.

It had been five months since the incident with Loki; Arie's birthday today. She was happy to be back in New Brunswick, it was mid-October and she was into the second month of school. Arie was walking down the busy streets of Fredericton to her flat; She was coming back from school. Her phone buzzed, "Hello?" She said nonchalantly, "Aire, how are you?" "Good dad" "Me and your mother will be arriving in Fredericton Sunday, we could find a earlier flight, sorry Hun." " It's okay, I have to go, see you then." She closed the phone and let out a sigh, that was a day after her birthday. Running up the stairs to her flat, she threw her bag onto her bed. Glancing at the clock by her bedside it read 10: 12. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a bow of instant noodles, putting it into the microwave; She put her IPod on its docking station. It was blasting My Chemical Romance's Famous last words, she grabbed the bowl, starting to dance and eat her noodles.

After three hours of watching TV and listening to music, Arie glanced at the clock it was 1:34, in three minutes she would turn twenty-one, turning the off the TV Arie watched silently as the seconds ticked by. When the clock reached 1:37, she smiled, "Woo who I am twenty-one!" Arie heard some laughing, she looked over to see nothing, starting to get creeped out she got up. "Happy Birthday, Aire." she looked over to see her mom standing there, "Mom, is that you?" Arie asked in disbalif. She nodded with tears in her eyes. "Why are you crying?" Arie asked concerned. She looked to the side, "I am crying because you have to leave" "What are you talking about, I am not going anywhere." Arie said annoyed. "Oh, but you are leaving." She turned to see Loki, standing there, "What the hell is going on?" Arie said quietly. "I don't believe your mother told you the reason I am here." She shook her head, "Sigyn, care to tell her." She shook her head, he smiled. "Say your last goodbyes, Sigyn." "Bye, Aire." She gave me a hug and kissed my on my head, then she disappeared. Arie screamed, tears starting to form in her eyes. Slowly she turned to look at him "What the hell!" she screamed. "Let's go", he said darkly. "I am not going anywhere with you, you psychopath!" Arie started to run to the door, but was stopped by Loki. "You are coming back to Asgard, with me whether you like it or not." She started to cry, he pulled her toward him and curtest Arie's cheek. "Hush, now, relax." "Please don't…" I begged, but my world was going black. "No" was all she could say, before she blacked out.

Her head was spinning, Arie slowly opened her eyes, the bright lights where blinding. She groaned, as she slowly got up. She wasn't in my room; she didn't know where she was. Arie looked around; She could feel her heart racing. Then she heard the door creak open, she looked at Loki, he smiled at her and Arie turned her head. "Where am I?" Tears streaming down her cheeks. "You are where you belong, by my side in Asgard." "I shook my head, "Your wrong, earth is where I belong." He lifted her chin, her eyes met his, he smiled . "Welcome to Asgard."
