Immortality

Chapter 6: Answers

The whole room stared down the odd two. Elsa seemed to look like a surprised deer caught in head lights well Loki scowled. The two seemed like nothing alike but they may have been because Loki was becoming colder towards others. Elsa was warm and caring, always worrying about the safety of others because of her powers.

The room began to whisper about the two, about the child born to the son of Odin. Loki stared back at the group before Thor walked towards them with question. "You are…?" Thor whispered.

Elsa looked over at Thor before glancing at Loki. "I came here for answers. I came here to find out if I had a family here."

Frigga stepped away from her husband who seemed to be staring with his one good eye. Loki looked at Elsa for a moment longer before turning on his heels and making his way out of the room. Elsa sighed quietly, thinking she had lost the only tie to her mother, the one thing her mother might have actually wanted in this world. But, she allowed for him to go.

"Loki is…strange, he needs time to think this through," Frigga whispered to Elsa, "He will come around soon, sweet Elsa."

Elsa nodded and took the chance by trusting the older woman. "Thank you."

-O-

It was three days later when Elsa finally found Loki and got the chance to speak to him. She had taken quite a liking to Thor, who took her right under his wing and took care of her. Frigga loved her and even Odin had taken a liking to the girl.

She stood in a golden dress that hugged her body and her golden hair running down her back in waves. She didn't bother with shoes and she looked just like a princess. "Loki!" She called to the lean man. "Can we talk?"

She caught up with him and Loki looked at her. He seemed to be thinking. "Why would you like to talk to me?"

Elsa huffed. "Why wouldn't I want to talk to you? You're the last tie I have of my mother."

Loki took that to heart. "Who was your mother, child?" He spit to her.

"Christianna," Elsa replied standing tall. "She died along with my sister's father in a shipwreck. I found out soon after gaining powers a note. It said that I wasn't William's daughter, but another."

"My own," Loki whispered. "Christianna is dead?"

Elsa nodded with a soft sigh as she pushed her hair from her face. "Yes, she's…gone." She said carefully, as she didn't know much about this man. He could be a masked axe murder for all she knew. "They never found her body; you know… she was just kinda gone."

Loki raised an eyebrow at the girl. "Christianna was a special woman even if I only knew her for two days."

"You only knew my mom for two days?!" Elsa gasped, her mouth falling open as her eyes widen. "And you two had me?!"

He chuckled but nodded, smiling sadly at the thought as he looked deep in thought— or at least a little. "Yes, we only knew each other for two days. But it was like we knew each other from another life. She was so kind, unsure of her and naïve. She was curious yet well mannered. Christianna wasn't like any other mortal I had come across; she was smart and untouched by the darkest parts of all the nine realms." He sounded as if Christianna had been a long lost lover he had had so long ago. Elsa had known her mother as well her mother— not a person before having children or before her father. She only knew of her mother as the Queen.

Loki shined a new light on the name Christianna and Elsa was ready to hear it all.

"So how did you two meet?" Elsa asked.

Loki turned his eyes onto her, and Elsa gasped quietly. Those eyes were the ones Elsa seen whenever she looked into a mirror. "If I am to retell the tall of the two days I was with Christianna, I am going to need to retell it from the beginning. Are you up for that?"

She nodded quickly. "Yes! I need to know about my mom!"

"Did she not speak with you?" Loki asked her, eyeing her warily. Elsa shook her head. Loki seemed deep in thought for a moment, retelling the tale that came to having the young princess born. "You may want to get comfy; the tale is not always a happy one."

Elsa looked confused— very actually and pulled a face Loki could only say was his own. Loki pulled them into the old library, remembering fond memories of it as he looked at her. Elsa sat down at the table Loki had sat down as well, and their eyes met. It was time for Elsa to find out the truth behind her mother's eyes.

"You have met Thor, have you not?" Loki asked, and when she nodded, he mumbled, 'good'. "Many years ago— you mortal years I believe— Thor had convinced Odin and Frigga that it would be wise to allow him to bring me to earth. I had no choice but to go, and I was no in a happy mood. Sadly, Sif and my brother's oaf friends left me the moment they could, Thor rushing after them forgetting about me. I was left alone standing there, in the cold. I felt angry and upset when I heard someone weeping. So if by chance, I thought I should tell the person to quiet down, that everyone had their problems. And you can guess who I met."

"Mom…" Elsa whispered.

Loki nodded, "Yes. I met Christianna. She was weeping for she could not get pregnant with the king's child. She seemed so helpless, and when she looked to me for comfort, I did not say no." He explained.

Elsa stared at him. "Didn't you know she was married?"

"Of course I did," Loki said rolling his eyes. "I also knew she could not get pregnant, which is a big part of the tale. If I had of known, I do not think I would have engaged with the activity we did."

She blushed but nodded. "Go on, please?"

He nodded to her, rethinking his words because this was his daughter— what kind of parent would tell their child the activity of sin? She did seem young but then again, he was a God. She was a demigod. "We spoke for hours before we did anything. We learned more about each other than most would know about their souse for years. I found out that she did in fact love her husband, but was falling out of love with him the longer she was with him. She found out a great deal about me, as well and some things are left unsaid." Loki started, remembering the soft sound of Christianna's voice. Gods he missed her.

"She was falling out of love with da— Will?" Elsa asked, remembering that William was not her father. The man before her was.

Loki nodded, "She was thinking of ways to leave him. She knew that she never could do it, but she said she dreamt of meeting the right man and marrying him, not just marrying the first man her parents saw fit."

Elsa remembered her mother's parents, how old school they were. She blinked, looking at Loki with question. "She didn't love him?"

"Did you not hear me?" Loki asked her, narrowing his eyes. "She was in love with her husband, Will. But he did not know how to touch a woman, did not know how to love a woman— how to make her feel like the Queen of the world. She longed for someone who could make her feel loved, beautiful— sexy."

Elsa felt her cheeks grow warm. "O-oh…"

"But that is another tale for another time," Loki claimed. "Christianna came to me, looking to know how a real man should touch a woman. She looked to me for love and passion. This William clearly could not give it to her."

The blond nodded, taking in the info carefully. "So then why did mom have Anna?"

Loki thought about this for a moment before looking Elsa in the eye. "She loved him, Elsa. She may have felt something towards me, but it was not love. Passion. Lust. Need. She did not love me." Loki explained. "She needed me to show her that there were men who could give her what she wanted."

"Oh…okay? But—"

"Do I not finish the story, mortal?" Loki asked her, causing Elsa to fall quiet. "That's what I thought." He mused. "We went to a cabin we rented with Christianna's money. We stayed there two days, talking for the first little while till we went to bed, and that is all I'm going to say. She did not love me, Elsa. But she gave me hope that I would find love."

"You loved her." Elsa whispered causing Loki to shift uncomfortably. "Is that a yes or no?"

Loki nodded. "But I would not call it love. It was the longing for affection."

She didn't go against his word, but soon the Asgardian left her standing there.

-O-

Elsa and Loki became closer over the next few days, speaking quietly about their time apart. Elsa learned more about the woman she had called mother than she thought could ever be. Her mother was not the woman that Elsa had known. Loki learned that Elsa's mother Christianna never truly was ever close with William, bringing a smile to his face.

So at the moment, the light blond was out in a soft baby blue dress that hugged her body well. It was like a second skin, leaving very little to imagination. Her hair was curled and up in a messy bun. Her eyes stared off and out the window she stood before, right as Fandral walked over towards her. "Lady Elsa," His voice was almost like honey.

Elsa looked at him, blushed as her body shivered a little at his voice. Fandral really was a sex God. "Good afternoon, Fandral."

"What are you doing all alone?" Fandral asked, joining her side.

She shrugged. "Just thinking, I guess. There's so much I've learned over the past few days and it's a lot to take in." She paused. "My mother never loved my so called father, you know."

"Many parents start out in love, you know. She may have fallen out of love." Fandral reassured her.

Elsa looked at him with a frown gracing her face. "No, if she had it her way she would have never married William. She would have kept moving from man to man—"

"Did she not take Loki on?" Fandral reminded her, raising one sexy eyebrow at her causing Elsa to feel as if her dress was too hot.

She nodded. "She took him to her bed and then had me." And if by chance, Loki was walking by at this time. He could hear the way the spoke of her mother and how broken Elsa sounded. "What am I to do, Fandral?" Elsa whispered brokenly.

She fell into his arms and wept. Loki felt as if it was his job to comfort Elsa but he also did not know the girl with long blond hair— he never allowed anyone close. Why was she different?
