Chapter 6: Serpents and sneaking out

Loki paced his room. There was hardly any room to pace any more. All of his stuff lay over the floor completely obscured from view. He had read every spell book and still he could not get these stupid threads off of him. He wanted to see Elsa badly but he couldn't with these stupid things on him. He knew they were more than to keep him quiet he knew that if he went to Arrendelle Odin would have his answer. These threads were being used as a method of tracking him. However he had spent the past few months studying them reading everything he could about the magic. Every night now he would cut the string and watched as it pulled away only to repair itself and see his mouth shut again. He had tried luring the threads to attach to something els but nothing seemed to work it only wanted him. He had tried creating a double and it would have worked if it wasn't for the fact that as soon as the thread touched it the double would disappear. He would have to put more concentration and energy into the double for it to stay solid. Loki focused all his energy into creating a double and it easily formed in front of him. He then cut the threads and pulled them from his lips wincing in pain as he did so. He concentrated hard as he watched the threads move towards the double. He could feel part of his conscience had moved to the double. The threads approached the doubles mouth and started to see themselves in place. The double stayed solid as the threads stopped moving. Loki let out a sigh of relief as he let the double fade. He wipes the sweat from his brow and gasped for air. That had taken more out of him than he had anticipated. The threads slowly made their way to Loki and moved once again as his mouth was seen shut. Loki collapsed on his bed out of exhaustion. He didn't even have the energy to put out the candles as he closed his eyes.
Loki awoke in a thin layer of sweat. He had been having the same dream everyday since his birthday. The dream had gotten more intense and the last words he always heard seemed closer than ever.
He heard a knock on the door. Loki rolled over ignoring it as he had done many times before. He knew it was either Thor or his mother but he still wasn't in the mood to see either. The knocking continued and Loki stared at the door irritated.
"Open this door right now or I'll knock it down!" Loki sat up as he heard the response on the other side of the door.
Loki made his way to the door and hesitated before finally opening it. He saw Sif standing on the other side. Her hair was in her usual ponytail while she was dressed in her armor. She walked into his room and sat on his bed.
"You missed my ceremony." Sif said bluntly as she stared at Loki. He shrugged his shoulders as he busied himself picking up the books he had laying on the floor.
"No need to tidy up Loki I'm here on business." Sif said standing in front of him. Loki frowned and pushed her towards the door not wanting to hear any more. He knew business meant she was here doing something for his father.
"Listen to me for once!" Sif said holding her arms holding herself firmly in the doorway so he couldn't shut the door. Even though he couldn't say anything she could practically hear his snarky remarks with the looks he have her.
"I know your angry I am too. What the Allfather did wasn't right. But you have no right to be mad at Thor or your mother. Your mother was completely innocent. And Thor was just so worries when he couldn't find you he went to the only person he thought could help. He didn't rat you out the Allfather asked hiemdall for your location and even he reluctantly told Odin. From there it was a short bifrost trip to Arrendelle." Sif stuck her hand out as Loki tired to close the door on her.
"The Allfather has requested an audience with you and I strongly suggest you go." Sif let the door close at her final words. She hoped he would take her advice and go.
Loki made his way back to the window in his room. He placed his hands on the windowsill. He held it so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He knew he should go see his father but he didn't want to. He had already refused to see him twice already but before his father hadn't cared enough to send Sif. Before he had just sent a guard to tell him. He knew Odin had known he wasn't coming when he had sent the guard screaming down the hall with snakes crawling all over them. He couldn't help but smile at the memory. He sighed as he heard pacing outside his door. He knew that if he didn't leave soon that Sif would knock down the door and drag him to the audience chamber. Loki opened the door and Sif turned to face him smiling.
"It's about time! I thought I was going to have to break down the door." Sif said as she walked with Loki towards the audience chamber. His face was completely neutral showing no emotion whatsoever. Sif sighed. She knew he must truly care for the girl. She couldn't imagine how she'd feel if someone had taken her away from Thor. She suddenly felt such pity for him. She had never gotten along with Loki very well but they were there for each other when it mattered most.
Sif stopped outside the audience chamber. She started to straighten his armor and his hair but he grabbed her hands. She stepped back in shock as she heard his voice in her mind.
"I want him to see what he's done to me." Sif watched as Loki made his way inside. She was still unsure if she had actually heard him or she just knew what he was trying to say.
Loki smirked as he left Sif standing there dumbfounded. He had learned many new tricks during his time in his room. He saw his mother standing with one hand on his fathers shoulder and he knew that whatever was going to happen was because of her.
Frigga gasped as she saw Loki enter. His hair was sticking up in all directions which he usually took his time to fix. His armor was crooked and his clothing wrinkled. What worried Frigga the most was the way it hung on his body. It was too loose when just a few months ago it had fit him perfectly. His face was thinner than it had been. Dark circles had formed under his eyes and his face held no emotion. Friggas eyes filled with tears.
"This has to stop Odin." Frigga whispered to Odin. He simply nodded but Frigga could see the distress on his face.
Loki stopped in front of the golden steps. He nodded his head at his mother but refused to acknowledge his father. He stayed standing instead of bowing like he knew he should.
Odin simply sighed. He said nothing as he used his magic to call the threads away from Loki.
Loki winced in pain as the threads undid themselves and disappeared. He kept his face neutral as he continued to stare at his parents.
Frigga couldn't contain her tears as she saw the blood slowly trickle down Lokis chin.
"Your punishment is over." Odin said as he turned to leave.
"Punishment for what!" Loki spat his voice hoarse from not being used in a while.
"For disobeying my orders." Odin said simply trying not to get mad.
"Well then thank you father for your generosity when we both know fully well you never said that we couldn't go back to Arrendelle just that you never would!" Lokis words were laced with sarcasm and poison as he spoke.
"I could have easily put you underneath the serpent! You should be grateful boy!" Odin was furious. Frigga hoped that Loki wouldn't push it any further.
"I'd like to see you try." Loki knew Odin would never go through with the threat. He didn't even sentence the most cruel people to the serpent. They said that it's venom was so poisonous that it would kill a mortal with one drop.
"Guards!" Odin yelled. Frigga fell to the ground her tears flowing freely now.
"Odin please! He's just a boy!" Frigga begged.
"Then it's time he learned his actions will not go without consequences!" Odin said as the guards grabbed Lokis arms.
"Father please!" Thor burst through the side door. He had been listening and he had enough.
"Thor mind your own business!" Odin yelled.
"Yes Thor please mind your own business. It was after all you that has sentenced me to this." Loki said a sick smile plastered on his face.
"Take him to the serpent. But be sure he only has to suffer one drop. Any more and I'll have your heads." Odin commanded as Thor and Frigga shouted their protests.
Sif looked to the door for what seemed to be the hundredth time. It shouldn't have taken this long. She jumped back in shock as the doors swung open guards held Lokis arms and pulled him through the hall. Sif hit her head against the wall in annoyance.
"It went well I can see!" She called as Loki was led down the hall.
"It could have been worse." Loki commented flatly.
Sif turned to see Thor standing beside her a look of terror on his face.
"Where are they taking him?" Sif asked.
"To the serpent." Thor answered simply. Sifs eyes went wide.
"They can't do that!" She yelled. Thor shook his head.
"It was fathers orders." Thor said sadly. He saw the flash of rage in sifs eyes as she turned towards the audience chamber. Thor quickly grabbed onto her pulling back into the hall and holding her to him. She hit his chest continually.
"Let me go! He can't do that! He's done nothing wrong!" Sif yelled still hitting Thor.
"I know Sif. But I can't have you go in there and be sent to the serpent as well." Thor continued to hold her until he was positive she had calmed down.
"You could've done something." Sif said as she buried her face in thors cape.
"Sif father wouldn't have listened to me. Not when he's that angry." Thor said.
"You didn't even try!" Sif yelled as she took off down the hall. She fell to the floor as a scream echoed through the walls shaking the castle. Thor had to steady himself to keep from falling as well. Once it stopped Thor stormed into the audience chamber. His father was still there as he bent to pick his mother off the floor. Frigga swatted odins hands away as she continued to cry.
"Is this what you wanted father? Are you satisfied now?" Thor yelled bitterly at his father.
"I did what had to be done Thor! He was getting out of hand!" Odin yelled back at Thor.
Thor was about to respond when the doors flew open. The guards held Loki in between them and were practically dragging him on the floor struggling to keep him up. Lokis head hung limply and his eyes barely stayed open.
"Have you learned your lesson now?" Odin said as he stared at Loki. Loki didn't even look up. He was too weak to answer. He was barely able to stay on his feet.
"Good. Now I forbid you from ever going back to that cursed land or it will be a week with the serpents venom dripping on you." Odin turned an left the room. The guards roughly dropped Loki to the floor and both Frigga and Thor ran up to him. Thor put his brothers arm around his shoulder while Frigga did the same with the other.
"Help me get him to the healers." Frigga said as they slowly made their way out the door.
"No... Take me to my chambers." Loki said his voice quiet and shaky. Frigga and Thor did as they were told and took him back to his room. Thor opened the door and they gently placed him on his bed. Frigga kissed his forehead as her and Thor walked out of the room.
Loki walked out of the shadows of his room as he made his double disappear. He flopped down on his bed completely exhausted. He was still in shock that he had been able to pull it off. He had sent a double in his place and now he was glad he had. He was thankful he hadn't felt the whole extent of the serpents venom. He had felt enough of the pain because he had to give some of his conscience to the double to keep it solid. He didn't think he could handle it when he felt the venom but somehow he managed to stay focused and keep the double solid. He lay on his bed trying to regain his energy. As he felt his strength build back up he decided he'd go see Elsa today. He focused his energy and concentrated. He had no idea if the spell had worked but he was willing to risk it. Loki then teleported himself to the river and dove in.
Thor stood at the bifrost. He still felt guilty for going to his parents. He should have known better than to go to them he should have just checked Arrendelle himself first. He stood next to hiemdall as he looked out at the stars.
"How is Loki doing?" Thor asked the guardian of the bifrost.
"He looks well. He has recovered quickly." Hiemdall said his voice deep and indifferent.
"I'm glad to hear it. I can only hope he will forgive me." Thor said his feet dangled over the edge of the bridge.
"All in good time Thor." Hiemdall squinted his eyes slightly.
"What's wrong hiemdall?" Thor asked noticing his expression.
"Your brother I can't see him." Thor leapt to his feet and ran back to the castle. He pushed open the door to Lokis room and noticed he was not there. Thor ran his hands through his hair. He knew exactly where Loki had gone. He wouldn't make the same mistake as last time though. He just hoped Loki was smart enough to make it back in time for supper.
Loki wasted no time as he broke through the surface of the water. As soon as he was on land he teleported himself into Elsa's room. He was stunned as he looked around the room. The room was completely covered in snow and ice. The water that still clung to him instantly froze.
"Elsa?" Loki called looking for any sign of her but all he could see was the snow and ice.
"Loki?" He heard her say but he still couldn't see her.
"Yes I'm here. Come out." Loki said wanting to see her again.
"No. I can't. I can't let you see me like this." Elsa said.
"Elsa please. I need to see you. I can guarantee I'm in worse shape than you." Loki watched as Elsa slowly walked out of the shadows. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. Her skin was paler than usual and the light makeup she wore was runny.
She felt bad as she took in Lokis appearance. She had been so concerned that he wouldn't want to see he like this but she realized he was in much worse shape than her. She walked up to him and ran her fingers across the cuts on his lips. She pulled her hand back in shock. She hadn't thought he was really there she had thought she was dreaming but as she pulled her hand away and saw a small speck of blood on her finger she knew he was real.
She wrapped her arms tightly around him as she cried into his shoulder. Loki hugged her back his face buried in her hair.
"I've missed you so much." Elsa said as she continued to cry.
"I've missed you too Elsa. You have no idea." Loki said pulling away from her so he could look at her face.
Elsa stared into Lokis green eyes and she couldn't help herself. She pressed her lips to his hastily fearful that he'd be taken from her again.
Loki was stunned at first but he began to kiss her back. He lightly bit her lip and she opened her mouth. He moved his tongue into her mouth as he explored her. His hands moved to waist as her hands found their way to his hair. Elsa pushed her body up against Lokis as he traces circles on the roof of her mouth. Elsa pushed Lokis tongue out of her mouth as she shoved hers in his wanting to explore. Her hands found their way out of his hair and she gently pushed him up against the door for better support. She pushed her body closer to his. They separated for a moment to catch their breath before Loki moved his lips towards hers again. Elsa roughly but Lokis lip. He moved his head away as the pain shot through his mouth. His lips were still sensitive from the threads. Elsa ignored him as she shoved her tongue back in his mouth.
Loki was a bit stunned he had seen a hunger in her eyes he had never seen before. When they had started kissing she genuinely was happy that he was there but now he saw she didn't really seem to care. She was using him as a way to escape from whatever it was that had caused her to freeze her room. He didn't like it at all.
"Elsa." Loki said pulling away slightly trying to get her to stop. She misread the way he said her name and continued to deepen the kiss. Loki was mad he did not like to be used. He grabbed her shoulders and roughly pushed her against the door. He pushed himself as close to her as possible trapping her between him and the door. The movement surprised Elsa as she gasped Loki shoved his tongue roughly into her mouth.
Elsa didn't know what to do. She had never seen such anger in his eyes. She knew that she had been using him as an escape but she hadn't expected him to figure it put and be so angry at her. She tired to pull away as he continued to kiss her roughly. For the first time since she had met him she was genuinely frightened by his behavior.
"Loki please." Elsa said begging him to stop. He shoved his tongue back in her mouth one last time before he pulled away from her breathing heavily. He rested his head on her shoulder and placed small delicate kisses along her neck.
"Don't ever do that again." Loki said as he looked at her.
"As long as you never behave like that again as well." Elsa said fear still obvious in her eyes.
"I'm sorry but what did you expect when you tease me so." Loki said as he let a small smile form on his face. Elsa couldn't help but smile as well.
"Now why don't you tell me what's got you all worked up." Loki said as he led her away from the door. Elsa dusted some of the snow off her bed clearing enough space for them to sit on. Loki sat down pulling her close to him as he wrapped his arms around her. Elsa rested her head on his shoulder and he gently placed his chin on top of her head. Elsa sighed she couldn't believe how drastically he had changed from a few moments ago. She relaxed into his arms as she started to talk.
"A few days after you we're taken from me my parents went on a short business trip to the southern isles. We got word shortly after that they had died in a storm at sea completely destroying their ship. I didn't even go to their funeral Loki. I stayed here while Anna was left to mourn on her own. I miss them so much. I felt as if I had nothing left. I started dreaming of you. But every time you ended up dying in my arms. I couldn't handle it. My powers started getting more and more out of control and I dreamt I killed you. Anna came by everyday saying she could hear me screaming throughout the night. I wanted to let her in. I wanted someone to comfort me. But I couldn't. Not if I wanted to keep her safe. Then you came and I thought I was dreaming again. And when we kissed I felt comforted I felt like everything was fine and I never wanted it to stop. So yes I used you but I just couldn't stop myself. I've spent so long locked in here that I needed to escape even if I didn't actually leave. I'm sorry." Elsa cried as she finished her story. Loki rubbed her back comforting her. He felt a twinge of guilt as he took in her explanation. He had no right to get so upset with her.
"I'm sorry Elsa. I should have known that you would have a good reason. Your too kind to actually mean any harm to anyone. Your too good to me." Loki said as he kissed the top of her head. Elsa lifted her head off his shoulder and looked him in the eyes.
"Run away with me Loki." Elsa said her eyes begging him to say yes.
"We can't the walls will stop us." Loki said. He saw her lower her head as she gently pushed away from him. Loki lifted her chin so that she was looking at him.
"Let me find a way for you to keep your immortality outside the walls then we will go." Loki said. He saw her eyes light up as he spoke.
"Deal. Now you should get going before you get in trouble again." Elsa said as she took in his words.
"Til next time." Loki said repeating the words she said to him when he was taken from her. He placed a soft kiss on her lips before leaving.
Elsa smiled. She gently played with the necklace that Loki had given her. She wore it everyday since he had given it to her. As he left she noticed that he still wore the bracelet that she had made him. She flopped down on her bed full of excitement. She didn't even notice as the snow and ice started to clear her room.
Loki quickly teleported himself back to his room as he returned to Asgard. He stumbled slightly as he saw Thor sitting on his bed.
"Where were you brother?" Thor asked though he knew the answer.
"That is none of your concern. If I told you you'd only run and tell father." Loki replied.
"Hiemdall wasn't able to see you." Thor said bluntly as he stood. Despite the circumstances Loki let himself smile.
"I know where you were. And I do apologize for telling father the other day. I didn't know you and Elsa were so close. She's a nice girl Loki try not to hurt her." Thor walked out of the room before Loki could respond.
Loki sighed as he climbed into his bed. He wasn't in the mood to go to supper. He knew odin would be suspicious if he walked into the dining hall as happy as he was. He took a quick drink of wine as he closed his eyes. He learned that if he drank before going to sleep the dreams he had been having were less vivid. Tomorrow he would start searching for a way for Elsa to be immortal even beyond the walls.
