If today I woke up with you right beside me

Like all of this was just some twisted dream

I'd hold you closer than I ever did before

And you'd never slip away

Five Seconds of Summer- "Amniesa"

Months had passed and Loki had been alive. Sigrun wasn't sure if the raging emotion in her head was relief or anger; relief that he was alive, or anger that he hadn't come back to her. With a deep breath, she picked herself up and began to walk to Heimdall. He was at his post where the bridge was still severed. He looked down at her when she stood next to him, his eyes boring into her.

"I don't think you truly want to know the answer." He said slowly before Sigrun had the chance to ask her question.

"I need to know."

"Since Loki as appeared on earth, death and chaos have followed him hand in hand." His eyes moved back to look into the oblivion. "Even as we speak he is spreading terror like a plague."

Sigrun took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Wondering if she had a chance to reach her Loki, if he still existed, no matter how small of a piece she had to try. Concentrating on Loki, she opened her eyes.

Suddenly, she was surrounded by people, people running and screaming from all different directions. Sigrun walked against the current of bodies, going unnoticed. She saw Loki at a distance and her heart sped up. He shimmered as his changed form into his armor and helmet. He walked calmly after the scrambling humans, conjuring copies of himself to corral them into place. A crash rang out as he used the odd scepter he was holding to destroyed some kind of Midgardian transport.

More death, she thought.

"Kneel." He commanded the crowd. A few knelt, most stayed on their feet unsure of the order.

"KNEEL!" Loki screamed into the night air. Sigrun trembled and looked around her. Slowly the Midgarains obeyed. Loki smiled, whether at himself or as a reassuring gesture to the crowd, Sigrun wasn't sure. She too kneeled to hide herself in the mesh of bodies.

"Is this not better?"He asked the crowd, "To be in your natural state? Would it not be simpler, to give up your mad dash for power and identity? As humans, you were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel."

Blood pounded in Sigrun's ears as Loki walked through the crowd, a few feet shy of where she knelt. She kept her head down low.

"Not to men like you." An old man had stood to stare Loki down.

"There are no men like me." He replied with a sneer.

"There are always men like you." The old man replied strongly. Sigrun's heart leapt into her throat.

"Look to your elder people," Loki said, pointing at the man with his weapon, "Let him be an example." His eyes flashed with a malice that made her breath catch in her throat, and her cells freeze.

"Loki!" She screamed a sound for no one but him. He looked around wildly, wondering if he had actually heard his name, carried by a voice he had no hope of ever hearing again. Caught off guard, he was cut unawares as a streak of blue rushed toward him knocking him back. Screaming and the mad crush of bodies dispersed and Sigrun was back in Asgard.

"A battle starts."Heimdall said, as Sigrun opened her eyes.

"Who is winning?"

"I am unsure."

"How are you unsure?" Sigrun asked in a sharp voice. Orange eyes turned to her.

"Because Loki, just gave up way to easily."

Sigrun was horrified by what she had seen when she visited earth, she wondered if any part of the Loki she loved was left, and if she could be anything but horrified by what was left in his place.

"Thor has reached his brother." Heimdall's voice shook her to her core.

Once again she directed all of her thought toward Loki.

This time she seemed to be on a mountain side, and the dust hadn't yet begun to settle.

"Where is the tesseract?" Sigrun heard her brother, and then a chuckle.

"Oh, I missed you too." Loki's voice sounded breathless.

" Do I look to be in a gaming mood?"

"Oh, you should thank me! With the Bifrost destroyed how much dark energy did your father have to conjure to get you here?" She heard Loki get up, and then a scuffle.

"I thought you dead." Thor rumbled in a low voice.

"Did you morn?"

"We all did. Our father-"

"Your father." Footsteps now, Sigrun could tell Loki's steps without seeing him, she inched from her hiding place to see them better. "He did tell you of my true parentage did he not?" Walking away from Thor, limping slightly. Loki paused, "What of Sigrun?" His tongue caressed her name, Sigrun's body purred at the sound.

Thor seemed taken aback by the question.

"A part of her fell with you." He said slowly, "She is not the girl she was; jubilant and beautiful. She has wasted away; I have not heard nor seen her smile in such a long time."

Loki groaned, Sigrun wondered if he was remembering their stolen hours in dark corners of the palace.

"Brother-"

"Don't call me that!" Loki snarled, his face covered by shadow.

"You are my brother! We were raised together, we played and fought together! Do you remember none of that?"

"I remember being stuck in your shadow! Always overlooked by your greatness." Loki spat the last word.

"So you take this world that is under my protection? The world that I love, as recompense for your imagined slights?"

"Your protection?" Loki laughed at the words, "You do such a fine of protecting these worthless creatures while they slaughter themselves in immeasurable numbers."

"You mean to rule them?"

"Well, yes."

"Then you miss the point of ruling! A throne would not suit you." Loki let out a snarl and pushed Thor aside, and walked dangerously close to Sigrun's hiding place. She froze, scarcely drawing breath incase Loki should hear her.

"I have seen places and been to worlds you have never known about! I have grown strong in my exile, Odinson," He sneered the word, "I have seen the power of the tesseract, and when I wield it-"

"Who has shown you this power?" Thor asked, stepping toward Loki, "Who controls the would be king?"

"I am a king!" Loki screamed.

"No! You give up this pointless dream, the tesseract, and you come home!"

Loki shook his head, "I don't have it. You need the cube to bring me home, and ive sent it off I know not where."

"You listen well brother-" Thor pointed his hammer at Loki, and then a flash of red and fire; Thor was gone. Loki's eyes followed the direction Thor disappeared.

"Im listening." He mocked.

Loki's eyes moved back to where Thor stood a second before, and locked eyes met Sigrun's blue, he opened his mouth to speak.

A shimmer and then she was gone.

This was by far my worst chapter yet, I apologize.
