Call Brandybuck

Wrecker Radioactive

Also a big thank you to those who favorite and are following. Nothing much to say except, give me feedback on what I can improve on or how to make this story more interesting. As a side note, Odin and Frigga still don't know about Odette, yet. YET! Probably in the next chapter or two they'll meet. Haven't decided on what circumstance yet.

With that said, enjoy the read!

~oOo~

As days went by I noticed that I wasn't feeling that hollow along feeling I used to feel whenever I came home from school, tired and exhausted from being picked on. Now I come home with a smile on my face, eager to see my friends that would make me smile and laugh. My parents have also noticed too and they questioned me one day about it at the dinner table a month after I had met Thor and Loki.

"I've made new friends." I told them, stuffing a piece of pizza into my mouth.

"Do they go to your school?" My mom questioned, the look she gave me made me think she didn't believe in the fact that I have friends.

"Yeah but they live out of town so I can only play with them at school." I lied and for some reason it felt good to lie. It was my own secret and besides, they wouldn't believe me anyway.

"Well, that's…that's good to hear Odette. See, we told you you'll have friends in no time." My dad said with a smile on his face.

It felt good to see my dad smile at me because that was a real smile on his face. The three of us continued to eat our dinner, actually talking like a family, moving into desert with smiles and laughter. I never felt so normal in my whole life up till this point. The feeling, this weightless warm feeling building in my chest made my smile turn so large my face started to hurt! I went to bed with my parent tucking me in and kissing me good-night.

I closed my eyes and right away I felt and saw the rush of rainbow colors and swirls. Excitement ran through my veins as I felt the soft covers of the bed I always woke up in. I felt the heat of the sun coming through the window, shinning down on me as I opened my eyes. I pushed back the covered and welcomed the cold feeling of the stone floor against my feet. I straightened out my pajama bottoms and t-shirt, brushing my long blond hair away from my eyes before rushing out of the room.

I ran down the hallways, the large ones made of smooth stone with paintings and rugs hanging from the walls. Every now and then I passed by a group of soldiers patrolling or just simply standing guard and I would wave to them, a smile on my face. The first time I did it they looked at me strange but now, that they've seen me every day for the past month the give their heads a slight bow towards me. Sometimes they even give me a smile!

The one thing I love about this place is the weird, sweet smelling, strange looking plants that line the palace with. It fills the air with such a sweet scent that it makes my head feel light and fluffy like cotton candy! I feel so warm and calm here Thor explained to me that it meant to have that effect on people.

It's meant to feel like a warm welcoming home.

I smiled and continued to run down the halls towards Thor and Loki's shared bedroom. They won't get their own until they are a little bit older and as soon as they do, my fun of waking them up from their nap comes to an end. I slowly opened the door and closed it softly behind me. Thor and Loki were sleeping soundly on their bed. Loki slept on the right, his face calm with a slight smile on his face. Thor lay on the left, his arms above his head with his mouth open, drool coming from the corner of his mouth. Such a big tough guy. I moved softly towards the bed and crawled onto the bottom of the bed. I smiled an evil smile and started to jump in between them.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I chanted and I jumped up and down. Both boys gave a shout, knocking their heads together before falling out of the bed. I laughed as they got off the ground rubbing their heads. "Wakey, wakey boys." Thor and Loki looked at each other before they growled, jumping on the bed, tackling me onto the covers. Their fingers danced across my sides, hips, feet, neck, and stomach making me cry out laughing. Loki held me down as Thor continued to tickle me.

"Surrender!" Thor growled and I shook my head.

"It would be best if you surrender, unless you like to pass out laughing." Loki said his smile wicked as his green eyes glowed.

"Okay, okay! I surrender!" I gasped out and Thor stopped tickling me with Loki letting me go. The three of us lay back down and stared up at the ceiling. We just laid there for a few moment s before our stomachs growled. I always seemed to get hungry while I'm here.

"Food?" I asked.

"Food." The answered and we got up, heading towards the kitchen. On our way there we heard the voices of a woman and a man coming towards our way. "Mother! Father!" Loki hissed and started to look around for a place to hide me. They haven't told their mom and dad yet because they fear they would make Loki and Thor stop playing with me.

"Hide her!" Thor said and shoved me behind a plant with large leafs.

"Hey! A little nicer would be better!" I whispered at them as I crouched down to hide better.

"Hush!" They said and stood straight and tall as a beautiful woman with long golden hair, pinned in curls and jewels with a long flowing light blue dress with something white wrapped around her shoulders. The man beside her wore some type of weird armor with an eye patch over his left eye. He stood tall and proud as he looked at the two boys in front of him.

"Oh, my beautiful boys!" Thor and Loki's mother bent down to pinch their cheeks with a smile. "I thought you two were napping from today's training?" She asked them and I softly giggled as they rubbed their sore cheeks.

"We were but…"Thor looked over at Loki to put his silver tongue to use.

"We woke up and our stomachs growled. Training with a nap made use growing warriors hungry." Loki said and wrapped his arm around Thor's shoulders with a smile. I crossed my fingers and hoped that they believe half of that white lie. Thor and Loki's dad looked at the two of them and he looked up.

Looking at me, directly at me, looking deep into my eyes and I knew he saw me. That man is starting to creep me out.

"Well, run along then. Your mother and I are going for a walk in the gardens. We will be there should you two like to join us.

"Thank you father. We will think about it." They smiled and watched as their mother and father walked arm and arm away from them. Thor and Loki let out a sigh and dragged me back out from behind the plant.

"I think your dad saw me." I said to them, brushing the invisible dust off my nightgown.

"Why didn't he say anything?" Thor asked.

"I believe father knows from Heimdall. He would've seen you come into Asgard and told father." Loki said as we walked towards the kitchens.

"Who's Heimdall?"

"He is the watchman of the gods. He sees all and reports to my father should he see anything that threatens our home." Loki explained to me, pushing open the door for me.

"So he sees everything?" I asked them.

"Yes. He is probably watching us right now, making sure nothing happens to us. We are princes after all." Thor said, pushing out his chest with a thump of his fist. Loki and I looked at each other, rolling our eyes and shaking our heads at the blond prince in front of us.

"And that would make you, my lady, a princess." Loki took my hand to lightly press a kiss to the back of it. A smirk on his lips made his green eyes glow in mischief. I giggled and looked at Thor who was watching us with some type of emotion but then turned towards the chef to ask for some food for us. "Isn't that right brother?"

"The most beautiful princess that Asgard will ever see." Thor said then walked out the door towards the great hall with a tray of food. My face was feeling so warm when he said that can I couldn't bring myself to look at Loki. One day when I arrived early I got a chance to talk with Loki alone. He admitted the one thing I thought I wouldn't ever hear from a prince with a family like his.

He hated being Thor's brother.

He always left the outcast one, the one always hiding in the shadow of his brother. People look at him strange whenever there are parties, gatherings, family outings where he is present. He doesn't share his parents blue eyes or blond hair but he has dark night black hair and green eyes that give off mischief and untrustworthy feeling when people look directly into them. I told him that other may believe what they wish but I see a loving, fun going person who just wants to be seen. He said I was lying and I smacked his arm. He laughed and then asked if I was telling the truth. I replied yes and he said that he could tell when people were lying but not me. I'm 'immune' to his so called lying test.

"Are you two coming?" Thor asked and we got out of whatever thoughts we were in and followed him out the door.

~oOo~

I woke up back in my room; the kitty clock next to me read 3:30 A.M. I felt so full from the food and drink and tried from the running I did chasing down Thor and Loki. Not to mention all the running I did to get away from them. I stretched and sat up in my bed, only to gasp and freeze at the man standing in my bed room.

A tall man, dressed in armor with golden red eyes staring at me with an impassive emotion. He stood tall with a large sword in his hands, his eyes not leaving me for a second.

"Hello sir." I said in a soft tone, sitting up straight in my bed.

"Hello young one. I have been watching you." He spoke, his tone even and deep.

"I know sir. Loki told me about you and how you see everything." I patted the spot next to my bed. "Would you like to sit?" Heimdall looked at me then at the spot where I patted then moved his sword so he could sit down.

"You are very polite and innocent for a child your age and yet you have such sorrows and pain." He spoke and my fear was replaced with guilt and sadness. "I can see more than the world I protect little one. I have seen your pain ever since you stepped foot into Asgard."

"Can you see the future?" I asked him, looking down at my hands.

"Yes."

"Can you…see when they come out?" I asked. I hated them, those things that grow bigger and bigger every time they come out. It's so painful and I have no one to help me through it. I've always had to go through it by myself.

"Yes, I have seen it happen."

"When will it happen?" I looked up at him and saw his impassive face still looking at me.

"Two days time." He answered me and I sighed. "You are frightened." I nodded my head.

"I don't understand why I'm the only one that has these things. Thor and Loki don't know and I don't want them to hate me, like the other kids at my school. They're the only friends I have." I said and looked at the man sitting on my bed.

"You fear something that you cannot control and yet you listen to those who do you harm. Take comfort in your gift young one, do not fear it." He said and I wiped away a stray tear the fell.

"It's so hard not to. They hurt and no one is there for me or to help me." I said to the man I felt a hand being placed on my head.

"They will. I have seen it young one. Be patient." He said and I thought I saw a smile on his face but it quickly passed as he stood. "Close your eyes young one and sleep. Rest your head and dream not of the days ahead. Welcome them, with courage and bravery." His hand passed over my eyes and I felt them close the moment his hand passed over. I felt my covers being pulled over me more and welcome the endless sleep. "Sleep well, little one."

Two days…those wings come in two days…
