Chapter 7

During the early morning Loki awoke to the sound of his little sister crying. He got up from his chair and he went to his baby sister. "Anji, wake up! Can you hear me little one?" Loki asked.

He hugged her, "What's wrong Anji?" Loki asked.

"A bad dream." Anji said tearfully.

"What was it about?" Loki asked.

"Bad." She whimpered.

"Tell me about it Anji." Loki said. She sat up throwing her arms around his neck.

"Anji, please talk to me little sister, so I can help you." Loki said. Anji sniffed, "Dad threw us out."

"Anji, mother would never let that happen." Loki said.

"I know but...Laowki." Anji said.

"No, buts." Loki said.

"Loki...he would and what are we going to do big brother?" Anji asked.

"Go home to mother." Loki said.

"But what if dad says we have to leave?" Anji asked.

"Then mother will help." Loki said.

"Will Thor help too Laowki?" Anji asked.

"Yes. I am sure." Loki said.

"So Thor is coming with us?" Anji asked.

"I hope." Loki murmured, but he knew that Thor couldn't return home until he regains his hammer. Loki sighed, "This whole thing was a mess.

"What mess Loki?" Anji asked.

"We can't go back home without Thor. Because he needs his hammer." Loki said.

"How can we help Thor get his hammer back?" Anji asked.

"He must...understand to be human." Loki said.

"But he's not a human he's an Asgardian." Anji said.

"He has to learn how to be human." Loki said.

"But why Laowki?" Anji asked.

"Well Anji, he needs to learn how to be worthy and then he can come home." Loki said.

"Really Loki?" Anji asked.

"Yes. Now try and get some more sleep." Loki said.

"Okay." Anji yawned and fell back asleep. Loki brushed her black hair off her face and he kisses her forehead once more before whispering, "I love you so much Anji. We will see each other again I promise." Then he disappeared and he arrived on Jotunheim. Loki hated this realm well he had always hated it, but he hated it even more. For he knew that he and Anji were born on this dark cold realm. Two children of a royal house who were unwanted and unloved. He knew what he had to do, but he didn't have to like it. The plan he came up with was dangerous for he was going to use his little sister as bait to help Thor become worthy again. Loki began walking towards the ice palace. A nervousness settled in his gut. This had to work. "But what if didn't what would he do?" He thought to himself.

A new plan...yes. He always had a plan. But he was alone on the realm of frost giants without his brother. Loki grimaced as the nervousness deepened.

"What if they kill me? I can't leave Anji all alone." He thought.

The thought sent a chill down his spine. "What are you doing here Asgardian?" A voice asked.

"I am here to speak to my true father." Loki said firmly.

"Your father?" The giant asked confused. He brought Loki inside the ice palace and to the throne of king Laufey.

Laufey grumbled and leaned to look down at the puny Asgardian before him, "And just what brings you to my realm?" His was deep and gravely.

"Father, I know where Thor is and the mighty god of thunder is a human now." Loki said.

"Ha!" Laufey laughed, "So the thunderer is nothing more then a mortal."

"Yes. And my half sister is with him." Loki said.

"The child...why should I care." Laufey spat.

"She's your daughter!" Loki snapped.

"We Jotuns need a king. Women are weak." Laufey said.

"Then why did you let the All-Father take me and why did you give Anji to him as a gift?" Loki asked wanting to hear the truth from Laufey.

"You were weak. I don't want a weak heir and she was also weak and I didn't want her." Laufey said.

Hearing this broke Loki's heart, but he kept his face plain for he didn't want anyone to see that he was hurt and upset.

Loki raised his chin, "Do you want to hear my proposition?"

"Yes, what is it?" Laufey asked.

"What?" Loki smirked. Laufey was interested. "Why...I want you to help me kill him." Now this wasn't his true goal. No. His goal was to kick start Thor's humanity.

"What about your half sister?" Laufey asked.

"And what about her?" Loki asked smoothly.

"Where is she?" Laufey asked. Loki started to walk around, seemly uninterested, "Oh...she ran away to Midgard."

"Why and did she take anything important?" Laufey asked.

"Oh nothing much. A stuffed wolf she calls Fen and the casket of ancient winters." Loki said.

"She has the casket ?" Laufey asked surprised. Loki looked up from flicking dust off his tunic, "Isn't that what I said."

"Don't get snippy with me boy." Laufey snapped.

"Well. That is what I said is it not?" Loki asked. Laufey got off his throne and went to his unwanted son and he slapped him hard across his face. Loki spit, then pulled himself together. He wasn't going to give him the satisfaction . Loki's green eyes went hard.

"If he ever did that to Anji I swear by the norns I will kill him." Loki thought.

"No one would hurt her again." He thought.

"Laufey, do we have a deal?" Loki asked. Laufey growled. The chance to have the casket back. Make Jotunheim great, "Tell me on what part of Midgard that little worthless weakling is!" He demanded. Loki fought the urge to attack the frost giant king. "A place called New Mexico." And with that Loki left and he returned to Anji.
