Welcome to my second chapter. Just so you know, I like foreshadowing and I try to squeeze it in when I'm able to. I try to hint towards things such as, I don't know, pairings with them… Just a random bit of info. I also can't figure out what my second pairing should be. One OC will get with Loki but I don't know whether the other OC should get with Heimdall (Whom I must introduce soon) or Narugami… Feel free to give me your input! Please R&R! Also, sorry to those who haven't seen this series for the references I make to the anime.

Alysha: Thank you so much! I'm so glad I can reach out to those who have never even heard of this series!

Chapter II

"This is where they live?" Mita looked at the large mansion in front of them.

"Yes, their other mansion was slightly bigger but it was destroyed."

"Really? How was it destroyed?"

"Yet another long story for another day." Loki smirked to himself as they walked up to the ornate door.

Mita sighed, tired of secrets being kept from her, and rung the bell. After a few moments the door opened on its own.

"Shall we?" Loki gestured towards the door.

"Uhhh, s…sure." Mita smiled slightly as they walked in and the door slammed behind them. "I really don't like eerie stuff."

Loki laughed. "Don't worry, there's nothing to fret about. It's not like some zombie is going to jump out and attack us. Even if one did, I could easily shoot it down."

Mita looked at him, realizing there was yet another thing that she had missed. Eventually, the two arrived at a door and Loki entered, Mita not far behind him.

The place wasn't actually a room but a large, exquisite field. In front of them was a large, white arc and farther ahead was a table surrounded by three girls drinking tea. They all wore similar outfits that had two colored stripes on the white base. One girl had blonde hair with a short boyish cut, another had long black, straight hair and the last had long, blonde hair that was held up in high pigtails.

Suddenly two chairs and teacups appeared at the table. Loki walked through the large archway and transformed into his normal, older, extremely handsome form. (What do you expect, he is the best-looking god!) A slight blush was splayed upon Mita's cheeks.

She followed and also transformed to her true form. She had a long, lacy, white dress and her hair was in a bun with a few loose strands hanging in front of her face. She also lacked shoes and appeared to be about Loki's age. (If they actually had ages, that is)

"Welcome Master Loki, and this is Mita, correct?" said the girl with short hair. "My name is Urd." She pointed to the other two girls. "These are my sisters Verdandi…" she motioned towards the girl with black hair, "and Skuld." She motioned towards the girl with pigtails.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Norns." Mita smiled as she sat next to Loki.

"What is it that brings you two here?" asked Verdandi as she took a sip of tea.

Loki held his cup in his hands. "We wanted to ask if you three happen to know where Suzume is, or if you know anything about what happened while she spoke with Odin."

Verdandi looked down into her teacup. "We don't know what happened while she spoke with Odin."

"But when she came out, something about her was different." Skuld, too, peered down into her cup.

Urd was also looking intently into her cup, as if searching for something. "We don't know her exact location, but she is nearby. A place that is filled with paintings." She peered back at the two. "I'm sorry, that is all we know."

Mita peered over at Loki who had set his teacup down. "Well, thank you very much ladies." He smiled as he stood and turned around. "Let's go Mita, I believe I know where to go."

Mita stood up and bowed to the three Norns. "Thank you very much for the information and the tea." She turned around and ran towards Loki who had already passed through the archway and reverted back to his childlike form. As she passed through the arch she also reverted to her younger form.

Mita followed Loki out of the house and they stopped outside. Mita looked at Loki and said, "So where are we going?"

"There is a popular art gallery near here. I believe Suzume is there."

Mita nodded and put on a large smile. "Perfect!"

Loki looked back at her with a serious expression. "Don't let her guard down, Skuld said there was something different about her."

They continued walking until finally they reached a large building with many small paintings painted around the doorframe and windows.

"It's spectacular…" Her eyes sparkled as she turned back to Loki who now had Laevateinn (his staff) out.

"Ready?"

Mita nodded and walked behind Loki as they entered the extravagant building. Empty. There was not a single creature in there but there were many pictures on the walls and on easels that were spread around the many rooms of the buildings.

Mita looked around. "Perhaps they're closed today."

Loki also examined his surroundings. "This must be some trap from Odin." He walked to the center of the room. "Let's split up, Suzume is somewhere in here."

Mita nodded as she headed to another room. She wandered around for quite some time, getting distracted by paintings every so often.

"Ugh, I'm never going to find anything." She sighed while taking in her surroundings. She was about to leave when she heard her name being called.

"Mita…"

The voice continued to echo around the room. It wasn't eerie, but it was strangely familiar. Following the voice, Mita went through the door farthest from her. In the center of the room there was a girl appearing to be about twenty with hair that was pulled up into a high ponytail and reached to her mid-back. Her hair was a purple that faded to silver at the ends and she had lovely hazel eyes. She was wearing a yellow sundress that reached her knees and she was busy painting a picture.

When Mita saw her, she gasped. "S…Suzume!" Her eyes threatened to drop tears as she ran up and hugged her older sister. "I missed you so much!"

"Where is that trickster Loki?" Suzume's voice sounded, accompanied by another.

Mita's eyes widened. This was not her sister. She gulped and quickly turned to run. As she ran from room to room she called out for Loki. Finally she tripped and fell to her knees. "Where could he be?"

"Mita? What's wrong?" Loki stood in a nearby doorway that she was facing.

"It's Suzume! Odin possessed her!"

"I knew it. Come on, let's hurry up and get this over with!" Loki began to run out of another door.

Mita sighed as she got back up. "I swear, this place must be a maze."

The two wandered until they heard a strange double voice.

"Mita… Why is it that you have allied with Loki?"

"I want my sister back!"

Loki raised his arm to stop Mita from charging. "I'll take care of it."

He held out his Laevateinn. "You know Odin, this is low, even for you." He raised his staff and hit Suzume over the head.

"What the hell are you doing!" Mita ran up, concerned for her sister.

"Don't worry, it was just a shock, she'll be fine." Then Loki turned his attention to a red mist that had come out of Suzume. He raised up his staff and pointed it at the mist and yelled out, "Veil Lubadrock! Cuerios!"

The mist was encased in what looked like a piece of glass and then disappeared after breaking into many pieces.

Mita's eyes widened. "Loki, that was amazing!" She then ran up and tried to awaken her older sister.

Suzume's eyes slowly opened. "Mita…Loki?" She sat up. "What are you doing here and… and how long have you known each other?"

"We came here to save you and me and your sister met a few hours ago."

"Suzume, are you feeling okay? I was so worried about you!" Mita tightly embraced her sister.

Suzume laughed slightly. "I'm fine, don't worry so much! All I know is I'm not planning on heading back to Asgard."

Loki sighed knowing what was about to happen.

Mita laughed. "Well then, you can stay with Loki like I am! He has more than enough room."

Suzume stood and brushed off her dress. "That sounds wonderful, I can't wait to see it!" The two girls began to walk out without Loki while laughing about this and that.

Loki sighed. "How is it that I only know her for a few hours and she is already inviting others to live with me… Maybe I am too kind…"
