Loki's P.O.V (Oh yes I did!)

I looked at her with a smile; this couldn't have been any better. I have never intended to actually make another bet with her, but it was so perfectly planned out, I could help myself. Now if only she agreed, the deed would be done. She let out a sigh, "Have we come to a decision?" I asked my voice like velvet, I saw here visibly shutter, "Yes." She said in one huff, "Yes, what?" I said with a smile. "Yes, I will take your deal, and the risks that come with it." She said "Perfect" I purred in her ear, she shivered again. I let out a laugh, "What is your riddle?" I smirked; this is the one I told her mother so long ago…

"I am just two and two I am warm, I am cold, I am lawful, unlawful. A duty, a fault I am often sold dear, good for nothing when bought; An extraordinary boon, and a matter of course and yielding with pleasure when take by force." I said my voice like deep velvet. She looked up at me, "Dam." I laughed.

Arie's P.O.V

Oh dear god, this is what making a deal with the devil, must feel like. I was nervous as hell. What cane be taken by force, cold, and warm… I thought aimlessly. Ok clear your head, what can be taken by force? Your virginity could be take by force, but it can't be that, because it is not warm, or cold. Or was it, I wouldn't know, I was still a virgin. Dam… I heard Loki laugh, "Give up?" "No!" I hissed. Think, it involves love, what are things that have love? People love, they kiss to show that love. To kiss they need to love… a kiss! I smiled, "The answer to your riddle Loki, is a kiss." His smile faded away, "Correct." I smiled, "so I can see him, then?" "Yes, you can." He purred in my ear. By now the sun, or whatever it was, had risen. The light shown into the room, I blinked a couple of times to get my eyes adjusted. I had done it, I had beat the devil… I mean Loki.

Loki's P.O.V

She did it, she won. I wasn't mad; just slightly annoyed that she won. It gave me an idea of what I had to do, to persuade her to marry me. It would just have to take more time, "Well we should get going if you want to see you father." I said in a dull voice. She threw me a glare. "Ok." I grabbed her and pulled her to me, closing my eyes I felt that familiar pulling take us.

I opened my eyes, we where in the streets of Toronto. By the looks of it was nighttime, I looked down at her, and she was smiling. I hate it here, I thought bitterly. Then she saw her father, this will be fun.

I disappeared, and found a spot to watch the excitement unfold. I followed him

Arie's P.O.V

I saw his hair first, I ran to him. "Dad!" I called out, he turned around. "I am right here! Look at me!" I called, "Hello?" He called out, "Dad?" He shrugged and carried on his way. I followed him; he was in a black tuxedo, carrying flowers. What was he doing? I thought. He turned into a building, I followed him. Then it dawned on me; there was a casket in the center. "Arie? If you can hear me, I want you to know I love you, and I always was proud of you. You where my little girl, my pride and joy…" I saw tears start to trickle down his cheeks. "Dad I am right here!" I screamed, "Look I am here, I am ok. Just please look at me." I touched him, but my hand went right threw him. "I brought you Calla Lilies, your favorite, I love you so much. If only that driver, watched where he was going." He kissed the casket, and then he placed the flowers on the casket. I watched him turn and leave, the last time I would ever see him, and he was walking away in front of my very eyes.

I sat in a near by chair and cried my heart out. I knew he was hear, I could feel him, "I wish I lost." "I could of guessed." I looked up at him, whipping the tears from my eyes. "He thinks I am dead." "Its only for the best…" "The best of what?" I snapped, "It was only for revenge, hate, and your damaged pride." I hissed. He grabbed my throat, and gently squeezed it. "Do it, I have nothing to live for anymore!" I hissed. I saw the look of sorrow that crossed his face, "I am sorry." His hand left my throat, he placed a kiss on top of my head, I looked at him. "Lets go." He said quietly, I protested then, taking one last look at the casket. I let out a sigh, he was right, I needed to go. I hurt my dad enough, I needed to let go of this old life. Feeling a familiar pull, then we where in the room again. I was exhausted, I felt my eyes close o their own. The dark was taking over me; eventually I gave in and passed out.

Loki looked down at the girl that was now passed out in his arms; she had been sleeping for hours. He wasn't proud that he lost his temper on her. He shouldn't have let his anger, get the better of him. His mother's words are again coming back to haunt him. He brushed the hair out of her face, she was beautiful. "Loki." Loki looked up at his mother. Her face showed a mixture of sorrow and anger. "Please, don't hurt her anymore." "That was a mistake." "I know, I fear for her, what if it happens again? Maybe you snap, then all you have left of her is a lifeless corps. I know Sigyn hurt you, but is this what you really want to do?" Loki turned to face his mother "I love her." "Its not love Loki it is an obsession, you are obsessed with her. Love is a mutual feeling shared by both, you are trying to make up for Sigyn by using her."

She said quietly, "Loki, learn to love her for who she is. Not what Sigyn was. Please for her sake." Loki was shocked, but he knew she was right. "I will mother." Frigga smiled, "She will make a wonderful companion for you Loki. You should take her out more, I do fear she might try escape" Loki smiled at Arie, "I think I will" "Excellent " Frigga had a sad smile lingering on her face. "I believe Odin would love too see her." "Indeed I would love to see her." Replied a hushed voice from behind Frigga. "Father, this is Arie, the child of Sigyn." "She is absolutely breath taking." Loki curtest her cheek, "Loki I haven't seen your smile this big in years." Odin said with a smile, "Indeed." Frigga said kissing Odin on the cheek. "Now lets go, I am sure Loki has to play healer for a while." Frigga said with a small smile.

Loki's P.O.V

I watched as they closed the door quietly, Odin loves her. Drifting on mother's words mhh playing healer, I will keep that in mind. I thought gleefully, she started to shift. Slowly her eyes fluttered open, looking at me blankly. "Good to see your up." I said with a smile, as I curtest her cheek. "Ya", she quietly, she got up now. Stretching her arms up into the sky, I saw a bit of her pale stomach. Oh Odin, she was attractive. She glanced at me, "Please don't." She said annoyed, "I am sorry." "Sure you are." She said with a smirk. "I would never look at a maiden with out her consent." I said in an honest tone. "I don't believe you, after all you are the God of Lies, no?" I smiled, "Yes, and you forgot Mischief." "Oh I am sorry." She replied in a mock tone. I laughed, Odin was right, I was happiest I have been for a while.

Arie's P.O.V

He did look at me, I knew it. It was kind of perverted, and kind of cute. In a small innocent boy kind of way. I brushed the hair out of my face, I missed home, but I needed to let go now… forever. "Lets play a game." Loki blurted out. I looked at him, "I think I have had enough of your games to last me a lifetime." "I promise this one is simple, and there is no wager between the two of us." "What kind of game are you proposing then?" I asked slowly growing more interested. Do I ever learn, I asked myself insidiously. "The one you humans call 21 Questions." I laughed, "You could have just asked me about myself, but ok I will play. You can go first." "What is your favorite color?" I looked at him, "Well my favorite color is Purple." "Favorite animal?" "Bird" "Favorite song?" "Whatshername, by Green day." "What is your favorite flower?" "I absolutely love Calla Lilies." He smiled, "What are you most afraid of?" I looked at him, "I thought you knew that. I am afraid of horses." He laughed; I felt a blush creep up on my cheeks. After the rest of Loki's question, it was my turn. I let out a breath, and then I said, "Did you really fuck a horse?" He looked at me like I was crazy. "I read it in a book." I said quickly, "No, I wonder what else you have to ask me." I smiled sinerstly, "Waite and see, Loki."

My final question was simple, "Why did the sew your lips shut?" He smiled, "Me and the dwarf king made a bet, my head. I lost the bet, but I told the king he couldn't have my head, without my neck. So he sewed my lips shut." I was left dumbstruck; I had stiches in my knee, when I fell along time ago. "That must have been painful." "Very." Cautiously, I brushed my fingers across his upper lip. I didn't feel any scars or bumps across his lips, but I heard him suck his breath in. I smirked "No scars?" I pulled my fingers away. "I am a god." I laughed; I could learn to love Loki. Right?

"Sigyn, I have a riddle for you." Sigyn looked at the shy little boy. "Ok" the young Sigyn smiled. "I am just two and two I am warm, I am cold, I am lawful, unlawful. A duty, a fault I am often sold dear, good for nothing when bought; An extraordinary boon, and a matter of course and yielding with pleasure when take by force." Sigyn smiled, "It is a kiss." Sigyn announced proudly, "Perhaps you could show me?" Sigyn smiled, as she leaned in and kissed Loki quickly. She blushed a bright red that was her first kiss! She knew that one day she would marry Loki, like in the fairy tales.

So what did you think? I own nothing, and please read and review.
