HEY GUYS! So this is my first ever fan fiction: D I would love for some feedback and reviews and stuff that would be great. I consider myself an amateur writer so it probably won't be fantastic but I can at least say I try :) I hope you enjoy it! I will post the next chapter soon so you will get an idea with where I am attempting to go with this!
CHAPTER ONE:
He was cast out, banished, from the realm eternal. Banished by the one he used to call 'father'. He was stripped of most of his powers and strength to live on Midgard as a mere mortal
"You must learn to respect Midgardians, you shall not return until you have proven yourself anew," The all father had told him. Loki shuddered at the memory as he walked down the narrow street. He shoved his hands into his coat pocket
At least I have clothes he thought to himself, and then scoffed 'at least I have clothes' what a petty, mortal thing to say, I am a god! I should not be thinking as such!
Loki was just rounding the corner of a dark street when he heard a scream. He grinned and on impulse began to track the noise. In a nearby alley, a young woman was being held against a wall by a pair of drunken men
"Well, aint she a beauty," The first of the drunken men breathed in her ear, the girl closed her eyes and winced as the man's grip on her arm tightened
"What do you think we should do with her?" The second asked
The first man pulled a knife from his pocket and stroked the blunt edge across the woman's cheek
"I say we break the little thing and then do away with her," He grinned and turned the knife around so that the sharp edge stroked her cheek
"Evening gentlemen," A voice came from the end of the alley. The woman opened one of her eyes to see who was there; she hoped it wasn't another drunk
"On your way mate, this is none of your business," The man holding the woman growled and continued to press the knife into the woman's face, this time drawing a little blood. The woman cried in pain. Suddenly, Loki was right behind the man. He wrenched his arm away from the woman and pulled it so far behind his back that he heard it begin to crack
"You won't want to be doing that," Loki hissed in the man's ear
"Who do you think you are?" The second drunken idiot asked, lunging for Loki. Loki kicked him in the gut in one swift move and the man was on the ground, up against the opposite wall of the alley. The girl took no chances, she pushed away from the wall that she had been held against and was running to the exit of the alley when the man Loki was holding, suddenly lunged the small knife he held, into Loki's shoulder. Loki winced and shoved the man away from him as he pulled the blade from his shoulder. The drunken man then began to stumble out of the alley and after the girl
"Where you going gorgeous?" He called as she ran "There aint no escaping me!"
The girl ran as fast as she could, but the drunken man was faster. She was down on the ground in seconds. The drunk pinned her beneath him
"Get off me!" the woman cried out, but the man slapped a hand over her mouth
"Not until I'm finished with you!" he hissed and reached for his belt
"Help me!" the woman screamed when he drew his hand away, but there was no one around, they would all be in bed considering it was three in the morning
The man suddenly lost his grin when a firm hand pulled him off the girl. She instantly scrambled away, only to find that she had backed into a wall
Great.
Loki turned the drunk to face him and without hesitation, punched him right in the nose. The drunk fell lifeless against the pavement, the woman gasped. Loki let the drunken fall flat on the ground at his feet. He smiled wickedly as the man lay seemingly lifeless
"Is he dead?" Came her sweet little voice, terrified and curious
"He is merely unconscious," Loki replied, looking over to the woman who was still huddled against a wall. He held out his cool pale hand to her, which she took after a moment's hesitation
"Thank you," she breathed, not taking her eyes off the drunk "Thank you so much," she said, looking to the strange man who rescued her
"You are most welcome, I do not like seeing 'men' take advantage of women," Loki said, frowning at the unconscious drunk on the ground
"What is your name?" The woman asked as the simultaneously began to walk down the dim street
"Loki," he said
"I'm Vienna," the woman smiled, pausing to hold out her hand to him. Loki had seen this mortal gesture before. He took her hand in his and they shook
"It is nice to meet you, Loki," Vienna smiled "I haven't seen you around here before," she said, looking to the ground as they walked
"I… just got her today," Loki said
"Wow, first day in town and you have already saved a life," Vienna grinned
"May I escort you home?" Loki asked. Vienna looked at him warily
"How do I know that you aren't like those men? Seeking advantage in a woman?" she asked
"You cannot trust me, as you do not know me, however, I can only promise that I will not harm you… or take advantage of you," Loki said, rather sincerely, considering he was the god of lies
Vienna smiled "I would appreciate your company," she said
"What is a woman such as yourself doing out at such a late hour?" Loki asked, as they continued down the street
"I was coming from a party, the only reason I am not drunk is because I have work in the morning," Vienna sighed
"Where do you work?" Loki asked, cursing himself for asking questions that he didn't really care for. Sentiment
"The local bookshop," Vienna said "It isn't much, but it pays for rent while I'm at Uni," Vienna said
"Uni?" Loki asked, curious
"University," Vienna grinned "Where did you say you came from?" she asked, raising an eyebrow
"I did not," Loki smirked
"Alright, well, may I ask what brings you to this tiny town?" Vienna laughed
"…Family issues, I was… sent away from home," Loki sighed
"Oh," Vienna said, not knowing what to say to that. They walked in silence for the remainder of the trip to her front door
"Well, this is my place," Vienna shrugged. Loki grimaced as Vienna turned to face him, for the entirety of their walk he had not noticed the large cut across her cheek. Without a thought he reached up and touched just under the cut, wiping away some of her blood "You seem to have an injury," he said. Vienna frowned and reached up to touch the left side of her cheek, she winced when her flesh came in contact
"I didn't notice it because the air is so cold," she said, shivering as she unlocked the door to her apartment
"Let me help you" Loki insisted, stepping closer to her as she entered through the door
"I don't think I should let a stranger into my home, even one who saved me," Vienna said, standing in the entrance
Loki rolled his eyes
"Just let me help you, I have already promised you that I won't harm you" he said, he became a little frustrated, he was trying to her a kindness, something that he very rarely does these days
If you want to go home to Asguard then you better start respecting the Midgardians he told himself
Vienna looked at him with hesitation and then sighed "Alright, fine" she said, waving him inside.
