Chapter 7

A/N: Hahahaha Evil Loki.

Recap: Steve remembers his and Darcy's first meeting, and arrives at SHIELD HQ with quite moodiness, but at the end of the day, he has to wait there for the rest of the Avengers before they can commence looking for Darcy

***Darcy's P.O.V***

Shit. Who knew how long I'd been down here in this cage? Right now, I was STARVING with nothing to eat but a gold apple... it was probably poisoned.

The creep that kidnapped me was staring at me, sometimes I'd glare back, but I couldn't look at him for too long… there was something about him that I found appealing which really disturbed me considering that he KIDNAPPED ME.

The weird thing is, is that I somehow felt drawn to him… not like just oh; he's hot, but different. It was something I'd never felt, but it didn't feel like hatred. Still, I forced myself to glare at him because this was a psychopath that has kidnapped me on Steve-my boyfriend's birthday.

"Are you angry?" Loki asked me, his voice sent chills down my back…

"No," I said in a shaky voice-I was trying my hardest to sound mean, sarcastic and uninviting, "I was just about to suggest that we had a party."

"Are you thirsty?" Loki asked.

"Kind of…" I muttered.

Smiling, Loki walked away. He seemed dazed this entire time, was he stupid? Now that his back was turned to me, I looked at him. His hair was deadly black, and his height and posture hot… his hands clenched at random moments, and he'd randomly push his hair back; a cute mannerism.

He left the room for the first time since he magiced out to get me an apple, and I got up and ran to the gate. I touched it, and felt a small zap in my fingers, then I pressed my fingers to it harder, and ignored the vibrating; it was a hard field outside the cage…

Quickly, I paced around the perimeter, but I tripped on my heels and fell flat on the floor my phone slid out of my pocket and hit the field, then bounced back to me… my phone! My eyes flew to the door where Loki left from to make sure that he was still gone, and then I dialed Steve's number.

"Hello? Darcy? Oh gosh… are you okay?" Steve's frantic voice answered.

"I'm fine, I'm in a cage, I'm starving, but I'm very much alive and he hasn't hurt me or anything," I announced.

"Thor's brother's got you," Steve whispered, "Where are you?"

"I don't know. It looks like a ware house," I murmured.

"Oh my- okay, stay on the line we're going to try and track-"

A door creaked open, and I turned to see the door opening, and Loki beginning to make his way through.

"Do not say a word; I'm going to leave the phone on, but hidden he's here!" I hissed into the phone before stuffing it into my jacket pocket.

Our eyes met and I glared at him as he came to me with a cup. My heart was pounding uncontrollably, and I felt a bit shy which irritated me completely.

"Here," Loki murmured, handing me a cup.

Moodily, I snatched the cup which gave him a vague smile that I wanted to slap off, yet that made me want to smile as well. Cautiously, I sniffed the drink-apple juice.

"Hahaha," I laughed sarcastically, "You turned the apple into juice."

"No, I should have, but I thought it would be amusing if I served you the juice from an apple after you so harshly rejected my apple," Loki said with a devious smile.

"Prove it, show me the yellow apple," I glared.

"It's a golden apple, and here it is," Loki said.

He brought out the apple and showed it to me. After giving him a curt nod, I hesitantly sipped the apple juice to find that it tasted very good. It was so sweet, and it tasted like no other apple juice I'd ever tasted. My hungry stomach leapt for joy and I chugged it down in a minute. When I was done, I looked up at him, and he was gazing at me worried.

"What?" I asked.

Quickly, he ran to the cage and unlocked it- why? Suddenly, I felt my throat start closing; I couldn't breathe! Loki was kneeling before me, and he held my head in his laps, and grabbed my hand which I was squeezing for some feel at life.

"Help me-"I chocked.

And I felt everything start to change colors, to gold for a minute before the world turned black.
