;3 CHAPTER START C:

Kira stood quietly before them and Laufey cackles loudly.
"Did you really think that such a precious jewel would just so happen to drop into your hands? You never even wondered why you felt so attached to her did you?" Laufey continues to laugh and places a hand on Kira's shoulder. Slowly her skin starts to turn blue and the raised designs of a Jötun show. Kira now has her eyes to the ground as the color and designs continue to spread until they cover her entirely. Loki takes a step back.
"No... no..." His voice is a cracked whisper and betrayal shines in his eyes. Laufey chuckles more and releases Kira's shoulder letting her skin return to peach.
"Oh don't look so betrayed boy, she was only your sister by blood to begin with." Laufey laughs more sinisterly and Loki's eyes widen and he trips over his own feet, stumbling back onto his rump. Kira takes a worried step forward and reaches out a hand in worry but Loki snarls at her.
"Stay away from me!" Loki's words cut deeply in Kira's heart and she takes back her step as she retracts her hand to her chest.
"I-I'm sorry..." Kira mumbles and Loki continues to glare at her and Laufey.
"I should have known better from the start..." Loki growls out hurtfully and stands back up raising his head. "Unfortunately, this gift wasn't hers to give so we'll be taking it back now." His voice is icey and his gaze is like staring into a knife point. Thor readies his hammer and Loki steps forward, moving a bit of magic behind his back. The Jötuns that had brought in Odin now create icey swords over their hands and glare at the Asgardians. Laufey leans back and smirks darkly.
"By all means, try." Laufey chuckles and Kira's eyes widen as she realizes something and steps forward only to have another guard hold her back and cover her mouth. Her now red eyes plead for Loki to take his friends and leave. He seems to ignore her as he continues to walk forward to the AlFather with the others of his group following behind him. More Jötuns step in to block their way out and Loki takes a step more to put him a few feet away from Odin before the Jötuns run forward and the fight begins. Thor smashes several into walls and Loki takes out his daggers and begins to fight off the two that come at him. Sif screams out in pain as one of the Jötuns burns her shoulder with his hand and Hogun manages to beat it off of her but more come and the battle continues to get worse. Loki suddenly finds himself face to face with Laufey and he strikes out at him but gains a jagged cut on his cheek in return. For every swipe Loki takes towards Laufey he only manages to gain a new cut and nothing on Laufey who chuckles and knocks Loki against the wall he'd cornered him to. Loki grits his teeth in pain and he glares up at Laufey as he stands again. Laufey smiles and his ice dagger manifests itself in his hand.
Suddenly, times seems to slow and minutes seem to stretch into hours. Long golden hair appear into Loki's sight between himself and Laufey as a pair of blue orbs stare into his. Laufey and Loki's eyes widen but it's already to late and she gasps out in light pain. Laufey retracts his dagger as he steps back and all of the fighting in the cave has stopped. Loki catches her small body as her legs collapse and he kneels down to carefully cradle her. He painfully tries to reject the warm liquid that is sliding over his hand from her back and tears come to his eyes.
"Wh-Why?" He sobs lightly and she smiles at him weakly raising a hand to wipe away his tears.
"B-Because, you are my m-my N-Nii-chan." Kira continues to smile up at him even though a small stream of blood begins to leak from the corner of her mouth and down her chin. Loki gently takes her small hand on his cheek into his own.
"Y-you are g-going to be alright..." Loki is pleading the words more to himself then to her and she giggles softly even though it seems to hurt.
"I-I thought y-you w-wouldn't l-lie t-to m-me..." Her words are quiet and they seem to slip away as her eyes close and her hand slips from his. A small smile still remains on her face and Loki stares in terror at it.
"P-please, n-no..." He takes her delicate shoulder in his hand and shakes her lightly. "K-Kira? P-Please y-you h-have t-to k-keep y-your e-eyes o-open! P-Please!" Loki sobs as his head bends down and rests on her chest in defeat. His voice carrying pain and desperation. "please... y-you can't l-leave m-me n-now..." Laufey stands back and watches the display quietly until Loki finally raises his head and wipes the blood from Kira's face. His skin starts to turn blue and his eyes red as he starts to show his Jötun form. His eyes then look to Laufey with a deadly glare. "You..." Loki carefully lays Kira down and stands to glare at Laufey who steps back. "I will make you pay. For everything." Loki growls and his magic starts to shake the very mountain itself.
"Loki..." Thor's voice is somewhere between warning and fear as he watches the icicles above them.
"I will make him pay." Loki ignores Thor's warning and manifests a huge amount of his magic into his hand. "I'll obliterate him so that he may NEVER come back again." Loki raises his hand but someone else grabs his arm to stop him.
"A father who has struck down his favored child knows more pain than anyone else and to live with that knowledge is more painful than being destroyed. Come Loki, and let us take your sister and ourselves home where we belong..." Odin's voice is raspy and he releases Loki's hand just as he lets the magic dissipate and his skin return to it's usual pale color. The Jötuns part and leave a path for the asgardians to walk through with Loki walking slower behind them carrying the now limp body of Kira in his arms. Laufey stands watching them and Loki glances back at him with a glare that could melt steel and curdle milk.
"I hope you will rue the day that our paths will meet again." Loki threatens lowly and Thor carefully pulls him back to their group walking with him until they get the the site where Heimdal opens the Bifrost and returns them home.
