Chapter 3:
New York:
Two weeks ago:
"Hello, Cynthia! Yoo Hoo! Are you there?!" said Annabelle.
Cynthia jumped as she got out of her trance. She felt like someone had flicked on the light and scared away that darkness the submerged her and apparently only she could see.
"Oh my! I am so sorry I dozed off for a moment." said Cynthia apologizing to Annabelle's parents.
"It's because you hardly take a break, girl!" Scolded Annabelle.
"No need to apologize dear, but for once my daughter is right, You need to take time for yourself, we wouldn't want to see you with a Burn out!" said Annabelle's father.
"I understand that sir, but I can't stay put for a long time, I need to pass these classes, I have been offered a job after I finish college and it's the chance of a life time" Said Cynthia
"She's hopeless…" said Annabelle twisting her lips and throwing a piece of bread back in the basket.
"Annie respect your friends' life decisions!" said Annabelle's mother with a smile on her face.
Annabelle looked like her mother, with red hair and green eyes, though her freckles weren't shown so much for the makeup she was wearing. After that Conversation they Dined, Annabelle ate roasted quale with season vegetables and Cynthia was enjoying a medium rare, rib eye steak with a Portobello mushroom risotto on the side, it was succulent, Cynthia hadn't had a decent dinner for a few months, every time she got home from work or school the only thing she could eat was T.V. Dinners, quick and easy, sometimes she would vary, eating instant Ramen noodles, or canned soup. This was a nice change for her at least for this once. After finishing Dinner it was time for dessert and Annabelle's father had a surprise for both of them, He produced two gift bags and gave each one.
"This is for your hard work and dedication to your studies, I think you girls deserve it" Annabelle's father said.
When Cynthia opened her bag to look what was inside, she produced a box with an MP3 player, It was an IPod Classic in black, Cynthia felt overwhelmed but she couldn't accept the gift she thought, but somehow Mr. Anderson Knew she was going to reply in such a way and said,
"I will accept no refusal! I did this because I wanted to and because you deserve it!" Cynthia felt defeated and accepted the gift with much gratitude.
Later that night…
After returning home from the restaurant Annabelle retired to her room to chat with her boyfriend through Skype, Cynthia went over to her room. She couldn't help but think of that scary moment in the restaurant, but quickly discarded it, perhaps she WAS very tired, and she needed a break, thank god her intense course would end two weeks before her regular classes started, and she could go to buffalo one week and spend it with her mother, she missed her "Mutsi" very much, she was going to ask for a weeks' vacation in her job, for she had enough hours accumulated to do so. As she was thinking on how she was going to spend her one week vacation and relax, she dozed off and fell asleep…
Asgard
Present time:
Two weeks ago…
"Amora, what is it that you wish to tell me? How come it needs to be in private? Asked Loki ill mannered.
"Because it only matters to you my dear friend! What I am about to tell you is a little delicate to say!" answered Amora.
"Then… SAY IT!" said Loki losing patience.
"Anxious are we not?!" Said Amora with a smirk that gave Loki the urge to hit her across the face but he contained himself, perhaps the information was of a certain importance that he could make good use of it.
He sat down in the chair behind his desk and said "Go on" in an arrogant manner, crossing his arms.
"Prepare yourself my friend, for the next words that come out of my mouth will shock you, I have found out through my connections that your beloved wife Sigyn is alive and kicking!" Said Amora, but she feared that he might take it as a mockery and do harm to her.
Loki felt light headed, his eyes widened but in that instance he thought Amora was mocking him and in a blink of an Eye he was next to her grabbing her neck and choking her, Amora could not feel the floor Anymore, for Loki had lifted her off the ground, her fearful eyes met Loki's which were full of Anger and hatred towards her.
"You dare mock me in my own house! You dare say such preposterous allegations! I will not have it! My wife is dead! I saw her die in front of me that wretched night!" said Loki wile tightening harder around her neck.
"NO-YOU-WRONG- SHE… LIVES!" said Amora between chokes.
"No! You lie! YOU LIE!" Said Loki his face possessed by madness and choking her even harder.
Amora was losing consciousness and the only words she could say were "…me… show… you"
Loki looked at her pulled her closer and said with intensive eyes "So be it, show me!" then he released her.
Amora fell on the floor coughing and gasping for air a release most reviving knowing she was in the brink of death just a few moments ago. She quickly recovered and got to her feet, Loki stared at her with disgust. Amora in that instant got in the center of the room and did an Incantation with a simple wave of her hands and a powder she produced from her pocket,
"Oh guardian of time and space and the ages of old and of the present show me who I desire to see show me SIGYN!"
A cloud of smoke began to form a circle and a window opened, showing the realm of Midgard and a city all too familiar to Loki.
"Midgard?! What does Filthy Midgard have to do with all of this?!" Loki Asked, remembering how he was defeated and humiliated by his brother Thor and those pathetic mortals that call themselves "The Avengers" someday he will make them pay; But now was not the right time, not for what he had planned.
The vision settled in a room, the kind Loki knew mortals lived in, very small for what he was used to. The vision came to that of a young woman, she got out of another room full of mist, with a towel in her hand drying her dark hair, it was wet, so it looked darker than normally might look, as she removed the towel and placed it on a pole to dry, Loki saw the unthinkable, It was her, it was Sigyn, His eyes widened.
"No, it's not possible, it can't be! This is sorcery!" said Loki his voice reflected surprise while his breath was shortening.
"I can sure you, it is not sorcery, well… yes, there is some sort of sorcery involved, dark magic, yes, but not the one you are thinking of. That young woman is Sigyn!" Answered Amora.
Loki broke from his trance watching this young woman who looked just like Sigyn when she was younger, and looked back Amora.
"How sure are you?!"Loki asked.
"This magic never lies! I had spies investigate her, she goes by the name of Cynthia Waldotir, and she is currently twenty five, the exact age when she committed suicide. Loki, she is not dead, this was a trick forged by her mother and Sigyn. She fooled us all!" answered Amora.
In the magical window you could see the young woman, sitting and working on what the Midgardians called a computer in that moment another person entered the room where she was in, she was shorter than Sigyn and had red hair. They were both talking something and when he heard the dark haired woman's voice indeed it was Sigyn he recognized that voice strong yet sweet anywhere, a Voice he thought he would never hear. They were planning on going to a dinner party, he watched as Sigyn finished on her Midgardian machine, got up and left for what seemed to be her bed chamber. Loki could not help but sit on a nearby chair. Amora closed the magical window and looked at Loki.
"Now do you believe me?" asked Amora.
"Amora, I need you to leave, now." Said Loki who seemed to be in a state of shock.
"And these are the thanks I get" Amora said.
Loki gave her a killer look and said, "Leave now! I shall summon you when I need you"
Amora got the message and left . Loki couldn't stop staring at the wall and heard a whisper in the distance say "She lives…" as he stared at the wall in shock his mind drifted to that dreaded afternoon twenty five years ago…
Asgard: 25 years ago…
Sigyn walked through the halls of the royal palace and headed towards the exit. As she went out she encountered one of her handmaidens who was headed towards Sigyn's chambers.
"My Lady where are you headed?" asked the handmaiden noticing the way Sigyn was dressed.
"Nowhere important just for a stroll my dear Ylandra" Answered Sigyn.
In that moment a tear escaped Sigyn's eyes and Ylandra noticed.
"My lady are you well, why do you weep?" asked the handmaiden.
"Nothing important dear, go on with your duties I shan't be long" said Sigyn.
Ylandra bowed to her in obedience and left to do her chores.
Sigyn exited the palace, went to the stables and asked for a mount, she then headed towards the shores of Asgard were her mother Freya was to meet her.
"I was beginning to think you changed your mind!" said Freya.
"You being the goddess of fidelity and all, deciding to stay with that monster you have for a husband" continued Freya.
"I always keep my word mother!" answered Sigyn while taking off her hood.
"It is nearly twilight, and we must act fast! Your husband has been informed of your intentions and he is headed this way as we speak!" said Freya, using her foresight to know what was going on in the royal palace.
"He is not alone! His brother is with him!" continued Freya.
Of coarse she was referring to Prince Thor the Heir to the Asgardian throne the god of thunder, whom Loki envied since she could remember.
"What is this potion I am about to drink mother?" asked Sigyn.
Her mother sighed and answered,
"It is called a CATALEPSERUM, It will provoke a catalepsy and will make you look as if you were dead, only for a short time, now you must hurry he is almost here!" She said.
Freya Hid in the bushes nearby were Sigyn was standing, Sigyn looked at the Catalepserum when she was going to drink it she heard a very familiar voice call out her name.
"SIGYN!" it was Loki, who was getting of his horse and was running towards her to stop her she looked back at him, he looked scared and surprised and said,
"Sigyn… Sigyn my Love please don't do this, this is madness!"
She looked at Loki who was walking slowly towards her and said,
"Why madness? You do not love me Loki, You should have never done what you did. You should have let me marry Theoric in the first place, I have nothing to live for anymore, our children are dead!"
Loki got closer to Sigyn slowly and said "Give me that vile, I beg of you! This is not like you, please my lov-"
"Don't Say that Loki, you Boar! I HATE YOU! YOU TURNED ME IN TO THE MOST MISERABLE WOMAN IN ASGARD, DO NOT LIE TO ME!" Sigyn shouted.
"Very well I won't say that word which is repulsive to you, But I do not believe you hate me, your letter said otherwise please Sigyn do not do this!" Begged Loki.
"Please Sister do not do this! Think of your loved ones" Said another voice, who was none other than Thor.
Sigyn shook her head and said "I am so sorry, Big brother" then she looked at Loki and with tears in her eyes said "I am sorry Loki" she drank the potion in one shot.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Loki screamed as Sigyn collapsed on the floor.
Loki ran to catch her shouting "NO! Why!? Please Sigyn I LOVE YOU! FORGIVE ME! DON'T LEAVE ME"
Loki was sobbing on his dead wife's body when the all father accompanied by some of his guards came to see the situation and noticed the scenery.
He saw his youngest son sobbing on top of his dead wife and Thor on his knees sobbing, while hugging Mjolnir saying, "Sister! Why did you do this?!"
The guards took of their helmets as a sign of respect for the dead body present, the all looked sad and very shocked. Loki said in between sobs "My Sigyn… why?" …
New York City:
Present:
Cynthia's P.O.V.
Cynthia woke up in her room full of fog, the door of her room was opened wide. She couldn't help it and got up from her bed and headed towards the light outside the living room, damn it Annabelle! You left the light on again? And why is there so much fog in the apartment? She thought. When she reached the living room she saw the figure of a man his back facing her.
"Hello, Cynthia" Said the man.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" asked Cynthia.
"Those are two questions my dear, which I have chosen not to answer" Said the man, still facing his back towards her.
His hair was black as a raven, slicked and combed back with an odd looking black leather and green attire, he had metal armor on his shoulder and arms.
"Show yourself, please" Cynthia Begged.
The man was happy to oblige and turned to face her. Cynthia's eyes widened.
"You again!?" She said.
"Again? So you have seen me before have you?" Said the man with anger in is deep masculine voice.
Cynthia felt a fear she could not comprehend. She began backing up, as he began stepping forward. She stumbles to the floor and knocked her head very hard. She was in shock as the man stepped in front of her, bent down and grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up. He began pressing harder his face looking like that of a mad man when Cynthia asked him between breaths,
"What did I ever do to you, to be so enraged by me?"
The man looked at her surprised, for her gaze demonstrated ignorance for his actions, he let go of her and backed away.
"No, you did nothing; it was I who did you wrong" Said the man, as he spoke a tear escaped his right eye. Cynthia looked at him confused.
"For so long I have longed for your touch, and this is how I react, forgive me!" He said.
Something came over Cynthia and she walked towards him, was it compassion? She didn't know the answer either, it was an urge that took over her. The man hesitated and backed away from her but she grabbed his hand and he stopped at his tracks. He looked at her with sad eyes and Cynthia got closer, she didn't understand why, but she wanted, no, she desired that man, his touch, his everything. But Why? The man with his pale and masculine hands touched her cheeks, her rosy cheeks, cheeks that got even redder by his grace. Quite inexplicably tears escaped Cynthia's eyes, and he wiped them of as they slid her cheeks. Cynthia didn't want him to stop, she looked at him and said,
"I feel like I know you! But from where?" The man in front of her shushed her softly and tenderly with his finger over her lips.
Their faces began pulling closer, and closer like a magnet until each other's lips met. He kissed her softly yet demanding, he pulled her closer and she didn't resist, their desires began to be more demanding, they kissed desperately and passionately, no one could stop them, she wanted more than just a kiss she wanted to feel him entirely, and she felt his desire demanding as well. But Somehow Cynthia felt being pulled by a vortex and she lost sense of his touch or his lips that she so desperately needed.
Cynthia Opened He eyes and realized it was only a dream, a very erotic dream, she was sweating and panting, but relieved that she was in the comfort of her room. She looked at her clock and it was only 2:00 AM. She turned in her own bed and said,
"Annie is right, I do need help!" her eyes wide opened in surprise looking at the roof, she then turned, buried her head on the pillow and made a muffled growl noise on it.
Loki's P.O.V
Present time
Two weeks ago:
As Loki kissed Sigyn or Cynthia as she is called now, he felt a deep passion and desire that awoke in him, a desire that had been asleep since before she pulled that stunt 25 years ago. As they both kissed with a desire that felt infinite, he wanted more than just a kiss and he knew she did to. Out of nowhere a gush of wind blew their surroundings, he felt Cynthia being pulled and disappeared. He groan escaped his mouth as painful blast in the head woke Loki from his magic trance, he invaded Sigyn's dreams. His vision cleared and was back in reality, in his chambers in Asgard, sitting on the floor, his eyes shone a deep blue light that faded slowly returning to their original emerald green color. He sighed and said to himself in a possessive tone,
"You will be mine again, that I swear!"
