Chapter Ten
Darkness flooded my mind as I was awoken from my sleep by loud noises around me. Loki was standing by the cell wall and I knew he must have done something. "What did you do now?" I asked, annoyed as I stood, walking over to him. Loki chuckled. "I, did nothing." He smirked as men controlled by the Tesseract came into the room. "No!" A deep voice yelled as Loki stepped out of the cell. I ran past Loki and past Thor, who jumped into Loki, who happened to be no more than a illusion. Thor was trapped in the cell now, causing Loki to laugh. "You let him control you!" Thor yelled at me, causing me to look back at my older brother. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes as I turned away. "No... I make my own decisions." I mumbled as I put my hand over Loki's pushing down on the red button. An agent had been pointing some sort of weapon at me. I wasn't afraid of dying, I was afraid of losing Loki once again. I stared in shock as Loki stabbed the man from behind as the cell Thor was in fell down into the sky.
I ran to the Agent, sadly staring down at him. He managed to hit Loki with the weapon in his hands, surprising me. He looked at me curiously as I sat in front of him, my hands shaking. "What can I do?" I asked quietly, looking at the blood pouring from his wound. The agent smiled slightly, grimacing as he touched my hand. "Don't let him change you."
I stared at my hands which were covered in blood. We had escaped and we were alive. I was angry at Loki for killing Agent Coulson. He was a kind man and didn't deserve to die. My head began to spin as I wiped the blood off my hands, staring at them as Loki walked towards me. "What's the plan now, oh royal highness?"
Loki sighed. "I know you are upset, but-"
"Upset?! I was upset when you wouldn't tell me the plan, now I am furious." I looked up at him with a glare. "You have killed many innocent people, Loki... And you expect me to be okay with that?!"
"I've merely done what has been needed for the greater good."
I scoffed. "And what is this 'greater good'?" I asked as I stood up in the aircraft, holding onto the wall. "YOU becoming king?!"
"Yes!" Loki's eyes pierced mine. "Oh, of course! Why wouldn't it be?!" I asked sarcastically. "Have you ever once thought about what I wanted? Have you once even thought about asking me?! All you've done since you've come back is push me aside and I am fucking sick of it!"
I sat back down on the seat, staring forward numbly. I was sick and tired of him pushing me aside for his ego. I did not agree with his methods, but maybe if he actually explained to me and allowed me to help I would understand. Loki slowly walked over to me, kneeling down so I had to look at him. He reached his hand up slowly, touching my cheek."Do you still love me?" He asked softly, for once showing the vulnerability from within.
I sighed deeply whilst looking into his green eyes. I thought deeply for a moment before leaning my forehead against his. "Of course I do." Loki pulled me into a tight embrace. "Then trust me."
I was beginning to realize that Loki was no longer the man I once knew. Perhaps to me he was but to everyone else... He was an evil person. He killed mercilessly- he killed for fun! For sport like... Like father had taught us all never to do. Loki was changing and I knew if I let him fulfill his plan he would get himself killed, or worse. I knew I would have to do the right thing, and in doing so lose Loki's trust. But he had to know who I was... He knew I was against murder of the innocent- I am the goddess of Mercy! I took a deep breath as I stared across at Loki. Could I find it in me to betray the love of my life? Or would I bow down to him? I knew it would be a last minute decision either way, but I knew I had to choose; love or what was right. Morals; or love. I had always thought both came together but as I stared at Loki I knew he would never be the innocent boy I once knew. Though he had turned "evil" I still had hope he could change... Maybe I didn't even want him to... Maybe I just wanted to be involved and have him have faith in me... Only time would tell the truth of all my questions.. Only time would tell if my love for Loki would be enough to keep us both alive.
