Chapter 6

Blue eyes

Aadya woke with a start and momentarily confused. She hadn't meant to fall asleep but after Loki had let her be she started thinking deeply and soon fell into a fitful slumber.

Loki watched from the shadow of a nearby pillar as the girl woke suddenly. He watched her as she looked around seemingly for him but she soon gave up, she obviously did not care whether he was safe or not. Of course, he didn't care about her, but still he was the one who got her out of Asgard a little concern might have been nice. He wouldn't have minded a little concern on her part after all she did owe him.

Loki walked over to their camp and sat down by the fire. The girl had since fallen asleep once more. He glanced over at her sleeping form once again—probably creepily—to observe her when she was more peaceful and not in a mood to potentially kill him. Not for the first time he noticed how she was always tense even in her sleep, but her face was so rested and peaceful while she was in deep slumber.

Aadya wasn't a heavy sleeper. She could faintly hear someone—even in her sleep—move over in front of the small fire. She assumed it was Loki who had sat down at the fire, but still she thought somewhere deep in her subconscious that she should make sure that is was the spoiled and crazy prince. When she rolled over and opened her eyes her assumption was proven correct. Loki was indeed sitting by the fire, but was most uncomfortable was how he was staring at her. So in order to not be unnerved with this she rolled her eyes and rolled back over to fall asleep.

Loki smirked at her eye roll; he liked the fact that he could unnerve her. It was a talent of his to make people uncomfortable, but this was like wining a trophy just for the fact that he could physically see the discomfort in her. Loki resituated into a more relaxed position and closed his eyes for a moment of rest.

Loki woke up a few hours later and made the decision to inform Aadya that he would be moving on from the Dark World. He moved to go wake her up but saw that she was not in her sleeping space.

"Oh well," he thought "Might as well get an even earlier start on leaving this dismal place."

Loki started getting his things together for his journey to the portal that would take him off this world.

"Were you planning on telling me of your departure before you actually left?" A quiet yet strong voice asked him from the shadows to His Left.

"Of course I was, do you think me so rude that I would leave you to the dangerous atmosphere of this world? No my fair maiden I would not think of leaving said damsel in distress." Loki replied to her.

Suddenly Aadya rushed forward quick as lightning and pressed a dagger to his throat.

"Call me a maiden or damsel in distress again and I will slit your throat." Aadya Said with a calm and collected, yet dark and menacing tone.

"Oh so you are not a maiden. I wonder who the unlucky fellow was that had the displeasure of…."

"Enough" Aadya growled making the knife point break the skin on his neck.

Loki just smiled at her and held his hands up in mock surrender.
