Chapter 2

Loki's POV

How long have I been here? When will it end?

I stared defiantly back at the Other. Waiting for the next strike. He wouldn't get any information out of me no matter how much I was tortured.

"Now let's do this once more. Where are you hiding?" The Other's voice sickeningly cold and gleeful.

He's enjoying my pain.

I didn't answer and he just nodded, plunging the dagger into my body once again. There was a burning pain and the feel of wet blood dripping from the wound. The dagger was white hot and seared my flesh. I wouldn't scream. I bit my tongue till I could taste blood, and as the dagger was ripped from my arm I grit my teeth together through the newly made hole in my tongue. I held back the tears welling up behind my eyes and glared at the Other with unfiltered hatred and malice. I waited till he got close enough, almost gagging as his breath wafted out of his decaying, blood coated mouth.

"I warned you. I told you that he would find you and make you pay. You should have heeded my words trickster, you're a dead man now. Pathetic, weak, like a mortal." The Other snarled in my face and I took a deep breath of the foul smelling air and spit my mouthful of blood into the Other's eyes. He let out a cry of outrage and turned to the rock outcropping behind him. I felt a smirk make its way to my face, but it was dispelled instantly as the Other emerged, holding a new weapon. One that I was very familiar with. The scepter. I struggled against the chains as he approached me.

No. No! I won't serve you or him again. Get away from me! I screamed inside my head, yet I made sure my face betrayed nothing. I stared at him defiantly and was surprised with what happened next. The Other walked over to the fire pit next to me and thrust the scepter into the white hot coals. As he brought it out I saw the golden metal had turned a deep red like that of the blood that I knelt on. The normally blue orb that usually crackled with electricity was now a dark black and flaming sphere.

"You should never have done that, Trickster. I don't think he'll mind if I kill you early." With those last words he thrust the scepter into my chest just barely missing my heart. The heat was unbearable, the metal seared my skin on contact, while the sphere set my blood aflame. I couldn't hold back the scream of pain. The scepters presence retreated and then stuck my back like a whip, spilling my blood and burning the rags I wore. The Other slashed and stabbed anywhere he saw fit to maim. The white hot fire burned my blood till it turned white like ash. My tears evaporated as soon as they escaped my eyes. There was no comfort, no help, and no mercy.

When will the pain end? When can I finally die?

I screamed my agony to the heavens as yet another searing cut appeared on my back.

"lo...ki..."

Another slice. One above my eye causing the blood to drip into my eye and turn the world red.

"...loki..."

What? Who? But there's no one here besides the Other and me. Who would

Pain flared in my right shoulder, then a another stab to my abdomen. Again I heard the voice.

"Loki!"

Father? What? No It can't be. Father put me in a cell, took away my magic. Now I'm trapped here in the void, with the Other and, HIM.

The world around me started to go fuzzy and the pain from the next slice was lessened. I had to believe it was all a dream. Dreams can't harm you. There fake, alternate realms of illusion. The next stab felt like a pinprick.

"No! No! You will not escape. I will find you...trickster...die...everyone...peace." the Other's voice faded till it was just another memory.

I opened my eyes to a bright golden room with an electric blue eye looking down at me with worry clearly written upon the face.

"Fa..th..er..?" My voice cracked like I hadn't used it in years.

"It's Okay Loki. Everything will be fine." Odin's voice was gentle and soothing compared to the Other's scalding rasp. I let my heavy eyelids fall as I drifted into the darkness of a dreamless sleep.

Okay I know it was kind of short but I tried. Also, if anyone has any ideas please tell me, either in a review, PM or both. I don't care. I LOVE you guys your all amazing! ^-^ Oh I almost forgot.
