Steve and I sat inside Tony's loft listening to Thor argue with him about how Loki needs to be taken back to Asgard and be under the control of Odin rather than SHIELD.
"Listen Thor, he's after Annabelle, someone let him free in Asgard he needs to stay here locked somewhere where he will never try to touch her again."
"You are not even comprehending the severity of him being on Earth again, once Loki has set his sights on something or this case our dear friends fair maiden, there is no holding him back." Thor was pacing back and forth as Tony poured himself a glass of scotch.
"Do I get any say here? " Thor, Tony, and Steve looked at me like I had just said the craziest thing.
"He wants me right, then if he escapes again then let me be the bait?"
"Annabelle that's suicide!" A man with glasses interjected.
"Bruce is right Annabelle, Loki will play your darkest fears to get you, trust me you don't want to be bait." Another voice intervened she had short red hair.
"Natasha, always lovely to have you here." Tony hugged her and she sat down across from me.
"Annabelle, we just want to keep you safe from Loki and we will make sure he doesn't get anywhere near you again." I sighed they were all being so kind but it was board line suffocating I had to deal with this freak on my own true he's a god, but he can't be that intimidating can he?
"Later that night after Steve went to bed, I lay there tossing and turning a voice echoing in my head.
"So you think you're safe from me my dear Annie?"
"Get out of my head!" I feel my subconscious scream.
"I know your darkest desires Annabelle how you want to be treated." The voice laughed
"You're not real!" I felt like I was screaming into the darkness and all this was accomplishing was making the voice enjoy my doubt.
"Oh dear, you think I'm not real? My aren't you in for a surprise." I tossed and turned and I could feel someone climbing on top of me. When I opened my eyes I was greeted by Steve his fingers grazed my sides, it was sweet and gentle, then it got rough. His hands grabbed my wrist and held them above my head with one hand while his other hand went under my shirt groping my breasts.
"Steve, what's gotten into you?" I looked up at him with a playful smirk.
"When I first saw you dressed like a common tease I knew I had to make you mine." His voice didn't sound like my Steve, in fact it was laced in arrogance and greed. One of the things I hated most in this world, why was he speaking to me like this?
"Steve, darling are you ok? You never get this rough with me so why the change?"
"Can't I play with you pet? That ring on your hand makes you mine does it not?"
"Wait you're not Steve!" I struggled in his grasp as his hand went lower and lower to my panties.
"I wonder what will happen if I touch you here, will you be fearful for long or will you submit like the whore you are." It was Steve's face, but the voice was Loki's and all I could do was struggle and try to get free.
"Please no, Steve snap out of it! Get out of my fiancé now Loki!"
"My sweet pet, I long to feel your touch, to feel your fingers claw at my chest and back, I know how passionate you are Annabelle and trust me the moment I'm free from this cage you are mine." He kissed me with such passion but this wasn't right his fingers were playing with my curls, as he rested his forehead against mine, an action that conveyed love. What was this, Loki seemed only to possess and claim but his actions reminded me of how two lovers kiss the feeling of warmth and happiness. I was terrified because he had me in a way that would dishonor Steve and would ruin any chance for us. Loki gazed into my eyes he saw the pain and confusion playing on my face.
"You think that this is just me falling for a simple midgurdian, this isn't a fairytale, no what I have planned for you is more erotic than your soldier could ever do to you. I'll have you screaming my name when I'm done with you and all you will want to do is be my little submissive pet, my toy. I know what you want, what you crave; the stories you read in your down time;" he laughed as he pulled my hair tight.
"I can do all that and more Annabelle, and when I return my dear I'll take you whether you come willing or not, you will be mine and mine alone do you understand." After that, the green in his eyes was gone and Steve was looking at me, confused and worried.
"Annie what happened why do you look so frightened?"
"Loki was here…"
"How is that possible I would have heard him come in, I would have stopped him from hurting you."
"He took over your body, I don't know how but he did, he said he was going to come back and take me away from you, Steve I'm scared."
"I'll protect you Annie no matter what he will never touch you again, I'll make it my mission to keep you safe." He pulled me close and even then I didn't feel any safer..
Months and no sign of Loki or any late night visits, I was a happy bride looking for a dress and venue I was very happy. Steve and I were planning our lives together and we decided to get married in the room of stars where we shared our first kiss. Tony was a huge help when came to planning because he only wanted to see us happy so he helped us with the venue and bringing in the people to cater and decorate. I was beginning to forget everything about that night but even I knew my joy was short lived I was trying on dresses and I found this gorgeous lace dress with a corset bodice with buttons down the back. I felt like a princess. Natasha and my friend Senna were sitting out in the lobby waiting for me to come out and show them the dress. The wedding was two months away and I had this dress back ordered and it finally arrived.
"My don't you make a beautiful bride." I turned around in the small room and there he was wearing a black suit with a green tie.
"You're not here, this is all just in my head." I told myself out loud and all he did was laugh.
"Oh Annabelle do you really think I'm not here? Well how about this does this feel real?" He pushed me back against the cold mirror and kissed my neck, only to bite down.
"Please just stop this, why are you even here!" I fought back tears.
"I told you I would be back for you my pet but for now this is just a friendly visit." my neck was hurting from the bite and all I wanted was to punch this cocky pain in the in the face.
"Now I want to make a compromise of sorts with you."
"What makes you think I indulge in your deal Loki?"
"You will if you don't want that stunning white dress covered in the blood of your loved ones. " I felt all the color drain from my face he had to be bluffing he had to be!
"But you can save everyone Annabelle you just have to break his heart." His finger twirled my curls into a tight spiral as he smiled at his ingenious plan.
"Please you can't be doing this Loki, I love him more than life itself, he's my family and my friend. I won't break his heart you'll just have to kill me before I hurt anybody." I looked at him and even though I was terrified I showed determination and courage.
"Has my pet become brave? Well no matter you'll do it anyway and here's how." Before my eyes he changes into me!
"See if you can't hurt the soldier I'll do it then you'll be all mine my sweet pet. Now before I leave let me get you comfortable first." Before I could even protest I was pushed through the mirror into some kind of cell. He returned to his form and pushed me against the wall shackling me into place.
"Oh don't give me that look my dear soon I'll have you a hot mess, but fear not you'll get to see your soldiers heartbreak and then he'll never look for you again." his lips crashed against mine and he back away into the mirror returning to my form. I watched in horror as he walked and smiled in my dress or a duplicate I guess to Natasha and Senna.
"You look so beautiful Annie!" Senna wrapped her arms around 'me' and I wanted to scream.
"You think he'll love it? " he said twirling in my gown. This was my moment I was to be the bride not him.
"Annabelle he will be blown away for sure!" Natasha smiled. I screamed in my prison feeling the bones of the corset dig into my flesh. The pain became to much and I blacked out. When I came to I saw him holding Steve's hand and they were in the room of stars.
"Annie what's wrong?"
"I can't do this anymore Steve..I don't want to see you anymore."
"NO!" I screamed into the darkness I saw the hurt in Steve's eyes.
"Annabelle why the sudden change of heart?" he held "my" hand tight and he was breaking I knew that look.
"Because I can't be with you anymore, you have become everything I hate and I need to focus on my life, it's over soldier." That did it.
"You! Where is she! Where is Annabelle?"
"You caught me." he changed back into his normal green and black leather with those God awful horns.
"My fiancé is not your play thing Loki, where is Annie!"
"Now if I told you where she was then that would ruin all the fun." he smirked and I fought inside that cold room watching helplessly as he taunted Steve.
"Loki tell me where she is now," Steve spoke through his teeth anger seething in his eyes.
"Well since you asked nicely,' he rolled his eyes and with a snap of his finger I was in front of Steve in my wedding dress with shackles and a collar and Loki held the chain.
"Annabelle you look beautiful." Steve was beyond awestruck which is what I wanted. I just wished it was when I walked down the aisle, not in this situation.
"Steve you have to let me go or he's going hurt everyone I care about. You know I love you and I want nothing more than to be Mrs. Captain Rodgers," my voice was cracking from the tears welling up in my eyes.
"My darling please fight it, we can protect everyone and Loki will never prosper, you know we can do it!" Loki was chuckling as he wrapped the chain around his hand slowly pulling me from the one I love.
"Now do you really think that some humanitarian could actually try to defeat a god? This gentle little girl who is beyond naive can't even protect herself from being captured, so tell me then Captain, how hard do you think she'll fight until she finally submits?"
"Annabelle is stronger than you think Loki. She has faced worse terrors than you!"
"Annabelle really? She is just a human, weak, spineless and made to be ruled over." That is it I have had enough of this, I took a breath and turned towards Loki.
"I been talked down to, shot at, stolen from and yes even kidnapped and I have survived it all! And you, think just cause your this 'god' I'll bow to your every whim, no thanks!" Steve was right I was strong, but nothing could prepare for what ensued after my outburst. The chain around my neck tightened making me gasp for air.
"You won't bow, I guess I'll have to make you." The chain pulled tight and my gasps began to splutter even my vision became hazy.
"Annie!"
"Enough of the games soldier, unless you want to see me defile her, you will leave now!"
"S-Steve just go please…"
"You better listen to her Steve, you see she is on the brink of death as it is and I don't want to kill her. Leave if you love her and she'll live, but if you don't I won't be able to control myself." I watched Steve leave as I passed out from lack of air. Steve left me here because he loves me but this might as well be my death sentence.
"Don't worry Annabelle, I'll treasure you more than he ever could." I felt him pick me up in his arms cradling me to his chest and his fingers brushed back my curls.
When I awoke I was laying on this gorgeous bed with satin curtains draping over the four posters of the bed. The sheets were the finest silk and numerous fluffy pillows, if I knew better I would say I was in Heaven, but even that would be a dream. The surrounding room was about the size of my bedroom and living room combined on the far side stood a beautiful ornate wardrobe and to right of that was this huge bathing chamber with a fireplace and a huge tub. To the left was a small study with books and a lounging couch thing I guess but the entire room was beautiful. When I looked down to make sure I was still dressed but to my surprise the wedding dress was gone and replaced with a white gown that reached the floor and clung to my body. My hair was braided and my last memory of Steve; the ring that was on my finger was gone.
"I see you are up and about now? How did you sleep?" that was Loki's voice. Great, he did take me away from my love.
"Where am I?"
"Asgard my darling, which remind me, when you get you to feeling better I would love to show you around. " He walked in and sat down beside me on the bed. He was wearing black pants with a green long sleeve v neck and a black vest. He didn't look like the Loki that captured me, but still this was just too casual.
"Do you like what you see Annabelle?" My face immediately went red and he laughed.
"No! I mean you're not in the armor and reindeer helmet is's just kinda odd."
"How is it odd? It's not like a warrior wears his armor everyday of their life. They do have other wardrobe options." He was mocking me and being playful, is he trying to make me forget Steve?
"I know what you're doing Loki and it won't work. Steve will come for me and when he does you will pay dearly!" I got up from the bed knowing that if I didn't move he would strike and I was not going to let that happen. Before I could even get away I was pushed against the wall, my hands pinned above my head with his leg in-between mine as he stood over me smiling that same mischievous grin.
"I was trying to be a gentleman Annabelle treat you like the rare beauty are but if I hear another word or whimper of that soldiers name then I'll make it my personal goal to make you miserable here. You are living in a palace, not some apartment anymore and you're safe from anyone who wants to hurt you. I could have you in my chambers naked and tied down to my bed at my mercy but instead I am giving you this and so much more than any mere mortal could give you."
"You can't expect me to forget him, he was my friend and the man I love and if you think I'll start to fall for you, well then, you have another thing coming Loki." His grip tightened on my wrists and as one hand wrapped around my neck squeezing oh so gently, enough to make me gasp for air but not enough to make me sputter.
"I own you now slut so you saying my name will be no more unless I request you to say my name is that understood!"
"You will never own me Loki I..' before I could even finish my sentence he slapped me glaring into my eyes.
"It's sir, master or my king to you, pet. Now be a good girl and get dressed," He released and began to leave the room.
"Oh, and if you're not presentable when I come back I'll dress you myself, is that understood my dear?" I didn't answer him, for I was fearing my actions and my very existence here.
"Is that CLEAR pet?!" his voice startled me and as much as it killed me inside I had to answer in a way that would 'please' him.
"Yes, my King…" God even saying that made me want to puke.
"That's my girl." He said as he walked out the door. I still couldn't comply with his demands and I began to search around the room for either a place to hide or even an escape my first place to check was the door to the balcony. I pulled at the door only to be thrown back to the floor by a painful magic blast burning my hand.
"Damn it!" I screamed inside my head as I crawled to the bed. Loki knew I was going to try and escape him and even then my will stayed strong, I had to keep searching and I will not stop till I am back in my sweet Captains arms again!
