Chapter 6
Loki and I arrived at Odin and Frigga just as they were about to send a guard to fetch us. I walk into the room, admiring the beautiful decorations. They were so exquisite and precise that I wondered how someone could have designed them. Walking up to the throne, Loki motioned for me to kneel, which I did reluctantly.
"It's an honor to meet you!" Frigga said as she came over to me standing up.
Trying my best to be polite, I responded, "It sure is." Loki flinched.
Stepping in front of me, he tried to explain. "Uh, Skylar has lived in the forest most of her life so please excuse her faults. She was not properly brought up." I glared at him at the insult.
"Oh, no worries, dear. I'm sure she'll get used to it," Frigga said, confidently. She turned to me. "I can't wait to show you the palace. You'll love it! It'll be nice to have another girl to talk to."
"Uh, yes. I would like that," I said, awkwardly, trying to hide the lie. By that time, the Allfather had come down to see us as well.
"So, Skylar, is it? Would you tell us a little about yourself? Loki didn't give us much detail," Odin asked.
Me, being a brat, I said, "Not really." Once again, Loki came to my rescue.
"What she means is she's still settling into everything so she's a bit confused but she would love to tell you later. Right, Skylar?" Loki said, gritting his teeth at me. I could tell he was agitated.
"Yes," I growled, equally annoyed at him.
"Perfect! Now, you go enjoy the palace. You may tell us your story later," the Allfather told me. Loki and I bowed to the pair and walked out. As soon as the door had closed behind us, Loki slammed me against a pillar, his arm on my throat.
"What was that?! Huh? That was your one chance to get them on your good side and you blew it!" Loki hissed.
After my feelings of shock disappeared, anger filled my emotions. "Don't ask me to be someone I'm not. I will not change my entire life just for you, got it?" I said yanking his arm from my throat.
"Well, you're going to have to change some of it because now you're in my territory," Loki argued, walking away. Now, I was really angry that he'd used one of my lines against me.
"Don't you walk away from me!" I yelled, throwing a knife into a pillar he was next to. He stopped and turned around. Rage covered his face as he walked back toward me.
"No? Why? Does it hurt your perfect little feelings?" Loki said, taunting me.
Then, I snapped. And things went downhill from there. As soon as he got close enough, I kneed him as hard as I could in his man parts. He doubled over in pain. I walked passed him but I didn't get very far before he had teleported in front of me and slapped me. Hard. It hurt. Holding back my tears, I slowly looked back up at him, now fully recovered.
"You son of a frostgiant," I insulted.
"Exactly," He said, grinning. Getting mad again, I tried once more to irritate him. Using my mind, I felt all the metal in his costume. Grinning as well, I slowly heated it up so it was beyond burning temperature. At first I saw no reaction. Then slowly, his face contorted in pain but it soon went back to its normal smirk when I heard a hissing sound. Looking at the metal, I saw it was softly steaming. Realizing, I saw Loki had turned into his frostgiant state to cool off the metal. He looked quite menacing, but not enough to frighten me. He had won. Again. Not caring anymore, I ran off down the hall to who knows where, hoping Loki wouldn't follow me.
Suddenly, as I turned around a corner, I ran into something big. And hard. Falling on the ground and rubbing my head where a bump was forming, I looked up to see what it was. Standing there was a very muscular man with a short, scraggily beard and long, soft, golden hair that flowed to his shoulders. He was dressed in silver armor with a long red cape and a large hammer hanging on his belt. He tried to help me but I pushed him away as I stood back up.
"I'm terribly sorry, miss. I should not have been standing there," the man said, concerned.
"I'm okay. I shouldn't have been running anyway," I replied, grumpily.
"If I may ask, why were you running in the first place?" he asked.
Feeling weak, I answered. "Oh, it's nothing. I was just trying to get away from someone."
"I see. There is a red mark on your cheek. Did this person hurt you?"
"It was nothing I couldn't deal with," I said, getting annoyed.
"Ah. Well, would you like me to escort you to your room?" This man was persistent.
Thinking about it, I decided it would be a good idea. If I happened to run into Loki, I wanted him to stay away and the easiest way to make him do that is if I was with another man. As we started walking, he kept talking.
"I'm Thor, by the way." He said. I stopped and turned to him.
"Thor? As in prince of Asgard Thor? As in Loki's half-brother Thor?" I questioned.
He stopped as well. "How do you know Loki?"
"He was the one I was running away from," I admitted.
Thor took in a breath. "And he hurt you?"
"Not badly. I can deal with it."
"Ah, you must be the girl he was talking about. The one he met in the forest?" Thor inquired.
"That's me. I'm Skylar." I said, unenthusiastically.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you, Lady Skylar," Thor said as he took my hand and kissed it.
"Uh, yeah, it's nice to meet you too." We continued on our way to my room. I wondered about Thor. Loki had described him to be arrogant and prideful but to me, he seemed kind and respectful. Could Loki have been lying? Well, he may be the god of lies, but there was no way he would lie about that. Thor tried to talk to me on the way but I wasn't in the mood so I didn't answer him very thoroughly. Soon, we arrived at my chambers (and never saw Loki, by the way) and he said goodbye and kissed my hand again.
"I hope we meet again, Miss Skylar," Thor said. I attempted a smile as I walked into my quarters and plopped down on my bed, ready to take a nap.
