~Second night~

I awoke in my body like I've always done but without my eyes. I felt my body unlike the first time I woke up where I had no connection at all. Cold was not a thought to me for I was somewhat warm. It felt as though life had returned to me.

I opened my eyes to take in my surroundings. I was in a room the color of chrome silver with black pieces of furniture all around it. I was right when I thought I was in a bed. It was a four poster canopy bed all in silver, only the covers were black.

"Where am I in Asgard?" I asked myself as I got out of bed and started to walk around the room. Noticing a mirror I walked over to it. My reflection was the same as it's always been. Except that my hair had grown out more and was longer in the back. Still the same onyx black I preferred it to be. My royal robes were gone and put over a chair. I wore nothing except black sleeping pants

Just then I heard a lock on the door click. Someone was coming in. having no time to go back to the bed I just stood there. A boy entered. He locked eyes with me as soon as he came in. expecting a fight all my muscles tightened. Instead of a fight he smiled and said "good morning or... err night I should you like me to get you the lady of the house."

'Could the lady of the house be the same one who talked to me yesterday?' I thought to myself

"Might as well find out." said the boy. "Come. I'll take you to her instead."

He walked out of the door. Not saying anything I followed. 'I believe he just read my mind.'

"As a matter of fact I did." He said without turning around. Staying silent I walked down the hall with the boy. Looking at him he couldn't be more then 18. His black hair was messy with one white streak going through it. He wore a loose white top and black pants. A silver bracelet rested on his wrist with a tiny silver moon hanging from it. Continuing down the hall I got curious.

"who are you?" I asked

"I'm my lady's right hand servant. I accompany her everywhere. My names Jackal."

"Who's you lady?"

"You will find out soon enough. We're almost there." He said

He carried a tiny dagger on his belt which he never took his hand off it. "Oh sorry." He said taking his hand off of it. "It's a habit I picked up while protecting my lady."

"How do you do that?"I asked

"Are you referring to the mind reading" he asked

"Yes."

"It was a gift from my lady." He stated

'Impossible.' I thought. How is that possi-?

"Here we are." Jackal said as he stopped in front of two black doors with full moons on them. "Go on in." he said. "Shes waiting." As he held the door open I walked in while he closed the door silently. There was a fire roaring in the room. It was silent in the room and was filled with book cases floor to ceiling length. Different plants decorated the room all over. In the middle of it all was a large black desk and a chair that faced away from me.

"hello?" I said.

"Loki." A voice whispered behind me. I turned quickly to find nothing behind me.

"Over here." It was the same girl's voice from before. "Who are you ?" I asked without turning around.

"An old friend." The voice said. I turned and saw a girl about the age of 17 and recognized her immediately. "Nótt." I breathed. "And here I was thinking you'd forgotten about me." She said as she sat down on the desk folding her long legs. I remembered I stopped being friends with her when I was taking out of school by Odin. She looked almost the same except her brown hair now reached her mid back and it had a golden shine to it. Her tan skin had taken an olive tone and her eyes were the same ice blue. Of course her body had matured too.

"Hello Loki." She said with a smile on her face. "Are you feeling well?"

"I'm fine for the moment. Where am I?" I asked.

Isn't it obvious you're here with me in this room." She stated teasingly

Slightly annoyed I walked up to her and stared into her eyes and asked again. Sighing she looked away and said "you at the bottom of Asgard. When you fell off the bifrost you landed right in front of my home. I had jackal and I take care of you wounds. Thor really beat you up this time. None the less you're close to perfect. She got off the desk and started to walk away but I gripped her wrist tightly. "Does my father know I'm still on Asgard?"

"Yes and no. our dear king has a feeling that when you fell off the bifrost you fell to the bottom of sent Thor down here many times to search for any evidence of you being here. I have hid you well. "She said.

"Why? Why have you hid me from them!" I yelled. "Because you're an outlaw Loki!" she yelled back. "Think about it you may not have the wisdom of vor but you're still smart. Your father and Thor know everything that you have done. If your found banishment is the least of your worries." she said clearly distressed. "Loki the god of mischief is to valuable to lose." She said softly. "if you excuse me I have… things to attend to." She walked away from me. I let her get to the door before stopping her. "nótt have you been appointed to be a goddess yet?". This stopped her. She turned with a smile on her face. "Yes, three years ago I was appointed by Odin when I came of age. I am the goddess of night and the darker side of things." She said as she walked out. I was left alone in a dark study the only light coming from the fire place. I walked out of the room and ran straight into jackal. "my lady wishes for you to return to your chambers, dinner will be brought to your room. Will you abide by her demands?"

"For tonight I will." I said.

Great, my lady said you wouldn't be much trouble." He said as we walked back down the hall to my room. "How long have you known Nótt?" I asked. "Three years, my family serves the gods and goddesses of Asgard. When my lady was appointed I was given to her as a servant. Most of my family works for the gods and goddesses. They say that their masters are cruel and arrogant but, Nótt is =nt. Shes nice, gentle and even gave me a room in her home for me when I'm tired to stay. She has her bad moment just like everyone else, hers are just worse."

I've never seen her mad." I state.

It's something you never want to see. I've never seen a goddess so consumed by anger before in my life. It's like it's not even her." He shuddered. "Not something you'd like to go through again?" I asked with a smile on my face. We reached the door to my room. Opening the door he said with the upmost serious face. "never." And closed the door to the room with me in it.
