Anja Odindittor Pov

A tall, lanky palace servant pulled out my chair as i sat down at the grand dinner table. "Thank you," I said softly and gently to him as I took my place. The table was emptier than usual. In the past it would be my brothers, Thor and Loki, on one side, me on the other side, and my parents at the opposite ends of the table. However, Thor was late tonight, doing whatever the future king of Asgard did. Then Loki was... in prison. I still did not understand how my Father could have just left him there, and my Mother not to fight it, Loki was always her favorite. I know what he did was wrong, but he was still family, at least to me.

"Anja are you listening?" I turned to see my mother giving me a disapproving look. She then sighed and motioned for one of her servants to fill up her glass of Asgardian wine. She took a delicate sip before speaking again, "I was telling you about the details of the gala we're throwing in your honor tomorrow night."

I closed my eyes trying not to think about it, it was no honor, it was her way of forcing me to be like the successful Asgardian Lady she was in her day, by finding a eligible suitor to settle down with.

I opened my eyes, "Mother, i want no part in this. Marriage...it does not," i struggled to find the word, "interest me yet. Inviting the eligible men, or should i say wealthy men of Asgard will do you no good."

It was tradition for the first born son of the All Father to become ruler one day. The other sons usually married wealthy famailies, either way they stayed in the castle or left to a nearby property with a bride of their choosing, as next in line for the throne. It prevented chaos if one king was to suddenly die. However in my case, the girl was always married off in a way that benefited the family. As guess it wasn't as bad as it could be, my mother was giving me a group to pick from, but I still wanted no part in it.

"Father, would you please tell Mother to be reasonable?" I pleaded with him. He took a sip of the finest Asgardian wine, "Frigga, she's just a child still, there is no need to think of marriage for many years."

"Odin, you don't understand like I do," Frigga started, "As you taught Thor how he would one day rule this kingdom, which I could not do. But Anja is not Thor, and my only daughter, I can teach her. I was her age once, and If I had waited for marriage I wouldn't have met you, I wouldn't have made my family proud," she turned to me, "Anja, you will be attending the celebration tomorrow, and that is final."

I stabbed the meat on my plate with a fork. She was always hard on me, compared to Loki and Thor. Maybe because i was always weaker, even for a Asgardian woman. I could never run as fast when I played with the other noble children, i remember catching my mother telling all the children to match my speed. I'm still not strong as i should be, and frame is still small compared to everyone else. My parents say it because i was born early...something about barely surviving, i never really knew the whole story.

"My apologies for being late," Thor said as he walked in to the dinning room. He tried to always come so often, but between splitting his time between Asgard and Earth it was difficult. I had always wanted to go to Earth, but I knew that both my father and mother would never allow it.

"Thor will you be attending your sister's celebration tomorrow?" Frigga asked him.

"Of course I will, and I'll be their on time time dear Anja," he told me.

"Thor, my boy, are you bringing a special friend tomorrow night?" The All Father questioned curiously.

Thor shook his head, "Unfortunately Jane can not make it to Asgard, she's working on to many projects back on Midgard."

"Maybe you could spend some time with Sif?" My mother suggested, there she was pushing again, couldn't approve of anyone.

"Sif is but a mer friend," Thor explained, "Jane is the only person I hope to keep in my heart."

Frigga smiled, "Well you know You chose Love, and if you chose Jane I hope you bring her to meet us." Then she was acting like Thor was the child of her dreams. I just wanted to marry the Asgardian of my choice, but I couldn't. Thor was in love with a mortal, and it was perfectly ok, of course.

I brushed the ice blonde hair out of my face, "Excuse me," I announced as I sat up and left the table. I couldn't stay any longer, and I wasn't just talking about the dinner, I needed to leave. As I left I could see Thor out of the corner of my eye staring at me, he knew something was up, but hopefully he wouldn't say anything.

I returned to my chambers and put on my night robe, I needed a plan. If I was gonna leave Asgard where would I go? My first thought was Midgard, it's a place I've always wanted to see and it would be the easiest to survive there.

I called over my own personal servant, Marianne, "I need you to go to the castle vault, you have clearance, and I need you to grab some jewels, just a handful. Don't tell anyone what you're doing and you'll be rewarded. Go now."

Another servant knocked on the door. "You may come in," I tell them.

The servant bowed before saying, "Your mother told me to come get you for a dress fitting."

I sigh, "I'll be right there," the servant then left and returned to her other work. Another benefit of leaving was having no one wait on you, you can actually have your own personal space.

I headed to the fitting room where they alter your dress, to make sure it's perfect, a rather boring process that was usually worth it. The dress my mom picked for tomorrow was a gold floor length one. It shimmered when it caught the light the right way, it was beautiful. "Thank you," I told the seamstress, "You always do a stunning job."

The seamstress laughed, "I'm glad you like it princess Anja"

Suddenly the door to the room opened, Thor came in, "May I have a moment with my sister?" He asked, but was more of a command. The seamstress nodded and left the room in a blush. "Anja I just caught your servant in the vault," he told me.

I was so screwed, "I do not know what you speak of."

He cleared his throat, "I think you do, I don't know why you would have to steal from your own family." He then threw a brown bag at my feet, diamonds and sapphires poured out of it.

"What of Marianne?" i asked urgently.

"She escapes punishment, as this was conducted by you," Thor stated.

I turned around to face Thor, "Take me with you, I beg you."

He raised a eyebrow, "To Midgard?"

I nodded, "Please."

"Anja, Midgard isn't your home. Asgard is our home," he told me.

"So you won't take me?" I asked taken back by his refusal.

"No, I won't bring my little sister to a world i barely understand myself. Also our parents would in deed kill me if I took you out of Asgard," he explained.

I walked over to grab my clothes, "Loki would have taken me."
