Chapter 10
The stupid grin on Thor's face annoyed Loki "Why are you here Thor?" he asked in a strained voice. He wasn't really in the mood to entertain him; seeing that he was probably the main reason that Sif had left his room… "Settle down… Now Loki?" Thor asked as if he was taking the register "Yes" Loki mumbled and Thor just grinned stupidly nodding his head up and down and pretending to cross off his name on an imaginary clipboard. "Sorry I have always wanted to try that ever since my visit to Midgard!" Thor exclaimed happily as he reminisced about his trip. "Anyway I have taken it on as my responsibility to try to cure your amnesia Loki!" he said as if he was being honored the greatest pleasure in the world. "And why in your right mind would you do that?" Loki asked suspiciously. "It was either that or you would be observed by a room full of healers day in day out and shown images from your past every day for about 8 months". "Touché, Thor" Loki grumbled and he made himself comfortable on his bed so that Thor could talk to him. "So how are we planning to do this exactly?" Loki asked curiously. "Well if I cannot make you remember your memories I can make you relive them!" Thor chanted happily. "Wow that little motto must have taken you ages to come up with Thor." Loki said sarcastically "Brother I still find it strange how you cannot remember the past but you still now how to insult me" Thor frowned. "Yes well let's just say I am a quick learner…" And with that Thor gripped Loki's arm and sped off. Loki allowed Thor to lead him through the many corridors, as he had no clue where he was going! They passed many courtyards and a few beautiful gardens, which blossomed with vibrant flowers and contained trees that bore heavy fruits. And also for the first time Loki got to proper look at Asgard, beside from those sketches in the books he had studied earlier.
It was quite stunning as tall metal buildings glinted off the roofs of the little cottages below. Which were buzzing with people and markets, they all looked like scurrying ants from where he stood and it made him laugh. Although he couldn't maintain his laughter for much longer or else he would run out of breath while Thor dragged him along. Never did he lessen his pace or his grip and when they finally stopped Loki thought his legs were going to drop off. "Brother" he panted and after he regained himself he looked up. Before him lay a colossus hall scattered with targets, skill stations and weaponry as far as the eye could see. It was intriguing to his eyes and Thor's eyes glimmered in anticipation but he allowed himself to stay put for Loki's sake. "Well here we are Loki, I present to you the training room…" Thor indicated with his arms. "It, its amazing" Loki said and his green eyes flooded with vibrant colours as he stared into similar eagerness of Thor's blue eyes.
For the first time Loki felt alive, his green eyes pulsed in determination as he tried to take out a far away target. But a spear impaled it before he got the chance to throw. A deep chuckle echoed around the hall and Loki turned to see Thor empty handed. He made a copy of himself for Thor to get distracted by and crept behind him, he tickled Thor and his double ganger vanished. Leaving Thor giggling and pleading for mercy. "Surrender?" Loki smirked "I…I…I Sur-render" Thor spluttered out and Loki stopped tickling him. Thor held his sides, as they were sore from laughing so much. Then he lunged at Loki's feet, this caught him off-guard and they both went flying onto a mat. They brawled and it reminded Thor of those times when they were kids. Always fighting and always getting into trouble… Thor stopped fighting "What is wrong Thor, you finally had enough of losing" Loki teased. "No" Thor replied and then he grinned, I have an even better idea!
One hour later Loki and Thor stood behind a pillar whilst badly covering up their giggles. They stood facing a door, which they knew two unfortunate guards stood behind. Attached to both handles were tubes with nozzles that Loki had been able to stick on using a binding spell. Tony Stark, who always was one for parties, had given the tubes to Thor in the aftermath of battle as a souvenir to spend wisely in Asgard. It was string of silly and horn fog or something along those lines…
They stood further back and Loki cast an invisibility spell over both of them and they nodded to each other. Thor let out a high-pitched girly scream and two guards rushed in, the door had been hit so hard it had banged against the walls and triggered the perfectly placed tubes… All hell broke loose as multicolored strings bounced off and covered the guards while a shrieking boom sounded throughout the corridor. One of the guards had slipped over in confusion and had brought the other guard down with him. And they both squirmed on the floor covered in goo while trying to protect their ears. Loki and Thor were hysterical with laughter and Loki felt warmth inside him that he hadn't felt before. But his laughter died down when the booming stopped and he saw the guards sending a death glare right at them. It was impossible; he looked down and saw his clothing, ok it was possible. They looked ready to pounce but in a swirl Loki grabbed his laughing brother and he focused his mind on the Training Centre. He felt a pulling sensation and then his body collapsed on a mat. Thor was not so lucky; he had landed on the floor…
Thor's sides still felt as if they were about to split and it worsened when he had made contact with the floor. He looked up at his surroundings and found he was yet again in the Training Centre. He searched for Loki and found him on the mat they had been fighting on earlier. Loki also turned to see Thor's face and they once again burst out laughing. Thor felt as if his brother had retuned by the way mischief shimmered in his bright green eyes but it eventually faded to a duller green. And he stopped laughing, Thor didn't realize but right behind him stood Sif with her hands on her hips.
She looked as stunning as ever but she wore a weary expression "You guys will be in so much trouble when Odin finds out, you could hear it from the other side of the realm"! She said shaking her head, "Oh come on Sif" Thor pleaded and Sif replied with another shake of her head but she was literally swept off her feet by Thor. She fell on top of him and they both started laughing but Thor went in and placed his mouth on hers and they embraced completely forgetting Loki was there. Loki sat gob smacked, did she? Did he? He asked himself but in a fit of anger he shouted, "Don't let me ruin your moment of intimacy!" And with that he stormed out of the Training Centre. He didn't have a clue were he was going but eventually he found a cozy storage room filled with beddings. He curled up into a ball and let his tears fall freely, but he didn't even know why. He didn't exactly love Sif he just hoped that maybe… "No" Loki said how could he compare with his brother in this? He was a nobody and he didn't even know who he was and there was his supposed 'brother' bulky and handsome, running away with the one thing that had made him feel wanted in a different sense. Sif had seemed so kind when she had walked in yesterday, yet now he found out that Thor loved her and supposedly Sif loved him back. It wasn't as if he had been betrayed; it was just Sif had been one of the only other people besides Thor who had bothered to visit him. She had presented herself to him in a kind friendly manner… This then shook a ridiculous thought in Loki's head. What if in his previous life she had been his lover? But now she had chosen Thor over him? A violent sob racked Loki's body at the thought and he lay crumpled in the beddings as he fell into a disturbed slumber.
A figure cast away in shadows and always looked down on. A man wanting to be equal but instead being punished. A broken shackled body condemned to pain. A vivid green swallowed by the darkness but then cold blues washing it out…
A monster with green eyes that turned to blood red…
A gentle hand shook Loki awake, he stared upwards into the eyes of his mother? He didn't know what was fact or fiction as he gazed into the blue eyes; they weren't the blue that sent shivers up his back like they had in his dream. No they were caring and soft, they were small pools of emotions. Set against her beautiful face and luscious blond curls that fell softly over the top of her dress. It was a white dress with a golden belt in the middle, such a beautiful dress for such a beautiful woman.
"Loki, we searched everywhere for you, Thor said you ran away after your little prank". Loki felt ashamed and scared that she had identified his crime, his eyes filled with regret. Frigga gazed into those eyes, as they looked the same as before. Every time Loki did something wrong when he was younger he would give these puppy eyes whenever he got caught. "You like the same little guilty boy as before" Frigga giggled and Loki felt some pressure lift off him. "Now what is the matter Loki?" she asked caringly but Loki just shook his head, as he didn't want to answer. A warm hand caressed his cheek and a tear dribbled down his face.
"Mother am I a monster?"
AN: So Thor is trying to take the amnesia away and hide up his problem by instead trying to entertain Loki. Loki has noticed something is wrong and after the prank he discovers that Thor and Sif are lovers. He also has a dream and now he believes he is the monster from his dreams.
So you like? I will probably take a break from Loki's emotions and return to Frigga fighting against Odin and I'll maybe write a bit about Thor and Sif and how they feel in the next chapter. Hopefully should post my Wednesday at the latest and PLEASE REVIEW! I wanna know what you guys think, thanks and Robin out!
