Hey people! Sorry this chapter has been so delayed! BUT HERE IT IS so thanks for reading and reviewing! I love you all! Now this is when things get really odd for Emily and Loki. So enjoy!
Loki quickly climbed out of Emily's room and onto the tree branch. He jumped from the branch, his magic softening his fall. Looking around in the darkness, he heard a rustling coming from the bushes. Frowning, Loki whispered a spell and shut his eyes. This particular spell let him see for miles on end, seeing any enemy or threat. Groaning, he knew exactly what was in the bushes.
"Thor." He sighed, opening his tired eyes. "Get out from the bushes, brother." And Thor revealed himself from the bushes, a few leaves clinging onto his muscley biceps. He grinned.
"Why are you here, Loki?" Thor boomed in his naturally loud voice. Loki shushed him and looked round at the sleeping house. Thor raised an eyebrow. "Why do I have to be quiet, brother?" He queried in a hushed tone
"Because everyone's sleeping, Thor. That's what people do when its night-time." Loki said slowly, as if Thor was a child. Grumbling, Loki stormed off down the street. Suddenly, something hit him. Why was he even here? He looked round at Thor. "Thor, why are we here?"
"For a holiday!" Thor grinned, wrapping an arm around Loki's neck and ruffled his jet black hair. Loki moaned and tried to squirm away. Loki knew Thor was lying. Afterall, who could lie to the master of lies? The God of Lies? The guy who invented lies?
"Do not try to lie to me!" Loki yelled breaking free. Thor shushed him. "No, I won't shhhhh!"
"But Loki, people are slee-"
"Thor! Just tell me!"
Thor stared, uncertain whether to say. "There is a...I cant tell you.."
Loki pressed his hand to his head, sighing and stormed off down an alleyway, shoving his hands into his pockets. Why was Thor so annoying? Why didn't he just not lie to him? Like everyone else. Sighing, Loki put his head against the wall, groaning. He wanted to go home. He wanted to read his books and practise his magic. But, instead, he was on Earth. Godforsaken Earth. WHY WAS HE EVEN HERE
In the shadows of the alleyway, there was a pair of red, glowing eyes watching him. It bared its teeth, hissing ever so quietly. It wasn't here to get Loki. It was here for another reason. But for now, it needed food. And a lone mortal was the perfect prey. Bounding out of the shadows and jumping up, striking Loki in the back. Screaming in pain, Loki looked round and round, trying to find his attacker. Grabbing it by its neck, Loki smashed it against the wall. It screeched loudly and hissed at Loki. Loki gripped its cold black fur and stared into its eyes. Blood dripped down his back, weakening him with every breath he took, but Loki needed to get rid of this...creature. Before he could blink though, the creature struck against Loki's face, biting his skin and trying to tear away the flesh. Loki screamed in pain and struggled to stay on his feet.
"GET OFF ME!" He shouted, but it was futile as the creature grew in height and completely covered Loki's body. The weight of the creature resulted in Loki falling back to the ground. Suddenly his vision went black, and he was gone.
Loki was sent into complete darkness. He could see nothing. He could feel the ground he was laid on but heard nothing. Trying to sit up, he instantly felt vomit crawling up his throat and there was a thudding feeling in his head. He slumped against the nearest wall and looked around, but all he saw was darkness.
"Loki." A voice hissed in the distance. Loki stuttered, and blinked his eyes.
"Wh-Who's there?" He looked around frantically. The voice chuckled darkly.
"It is too early for names, God of Mischief." The voice replied, footsteps coming closer to Loki. Loki frowned and tried to use his spell. "Dont try to use your spells here. They will only weaken you."
"Where am I? I demand to know!" Loki shouted, but he felt something grip his throat. Gagging, Loki struggled and grabbed the hands which had hold of his neck. They were ice cold.
"I...am your death. But you know what?" The voice said softly. Loki could sense it was smiling. The stranger let go of Loki. "Your time is not up yet." It walked away.
"Wh...What do you mean?" Loki stuttered, desperately searching for answers. The voice gave no reply. "Come back!" He shouted into the darkness. "Come back and TELL ME!"
