A/N: I only own Hylda and Eir.
This chapter's kinda slow and short, but it needs to happen.
Let it Go-Dragonette
We get a little faded the colours go
Running out of all our clothes
And the flash don't light when the battery's slow
Sif and the men wandered all around the odd town. They started at all the human in their odd clothing. They all looked so small compared to the Asgardians. They looked at every face and in every window. Thor had to be here somewhere. They were about to reach the end of the road when they saw a familiar blonde blurr pass by a window. Pressing themselves against the glass they saw Thor, moving around a kitchen with three humans. They couldn't have been happier.
"Found you!" Volstagg called, smiling widely as he knocked. The friends couldn't hide their large grins.
Thor turned to the window and his friends could see the obvious shock in his face. The three humans were frozen, one even dropped their mug. Thor hurried to the group as they pulled the doors open.
"My friends!" Thor's voice boomed, as him and Volstagg shared a manly embrace. Thor pulled back, resting his hand on Volstagg's shoulders.
"This is good."
"I don't believe it" the male human muttered. Volstagg approached him as Thor hugged his other friends.
"Oh excuse me, Lady Sif and the Warriors Three." He said proudly. The other's straightened and smiled at the humans. One of the women couldn't help but smile slightly.
Thor's brows knotted in confusion suddenly. He looked over the group, thinking.
"Where is Hylda?" he asked. A thick tension arose, and Fandral visibly stiffened at her name. Thor noticed and raised an eyebrow at him. Sif cut in before Thor could question Fandral.
"She had to do something" she said, trying not to think about the argument she had had with her friend. "She wanted to come…"
Thor seemed to accept this answer, he knew Hylda. If she didn't come, it was for a good reason.
We don't need a cure for the weight of the world
Cause it's floating round in the universe
Just swinging like it's tied by a string that you own
Let it go
"Even so, my friends" Thor began as he placed a hand on Hogun's shoulder," never have I been happier to see someone. But you should not have come."
All the smiles fell. What did Thor mean by that? They had risked everything to come for him.
Fandral laughed awkwardly, "We're here to take you home."
Thor's face fell even more, "You know I can't go home. My father is… dead because of me."
The last part was barely more than a whisper. Thor's eyes locked with one of the human's briefly before looking to the ground.
"I must remain in exile." He finished.
Sif fixed him with a hard look. She knew this was Loki's doing.
"Thor, you're father still lives."
His eyes darkened.
"There's more" Sif said. "Loki… he is now King. You're father sleeps, but is not dead. Loki has taken the throne."
Thor knew Sif was telling the truth. The grave looks on his friends faces showed it. Thor thought back to his visit from Loki. How could his brother have lied to him like that! He looked so sincere in his words, but Thor should have known better. His brother was known for his silver tongue after all.
"Hylda went to distract Loki while we came to get you" Hogun explained. The warriors once again let an awkward pause settle in. Did something happen with Hylda? From the corner of his eye Thor saw Fandral's face twist into a look of disgust. He turned his attention to the man.
"Fandral, this is the second time I have caught your discomfort at our friends name. Last I saw you, you were quite fond of her. Almost too much at times."
Fandral couldn't help but blush slightly at the mention of his crush for Hylda. His face did not change from its contortion however.
"That feeling has long since passed" Fandral spat, looking down. Volstagg elbowed Fandral roughly, his eyes telling the man to shut up.
"You're hiding something from me" Thor said in a low voice. "First Hylda is not with you, now you're trying to hide the fact that the man that was once madly in love with her is appalled by her very name. What is going on?" He turned to look at Sif. He knew she would cave to him.
He was right.
Sif sighed, staring into Thor's eyes. She couldn't lie to him. He deserved to know anyways, it was his friend and his brother.
"We think Hylda and Loki… we think Hylda has fallen for him." She said, sadly.
Thor realized now why Fandral acted the way he did. The woman he loved had fallen for another man. Sif continued.
"Should that not be glorious news? Hylda deserves happiness" Thor said.
Fandral couldn't hold his tongue, "not from someone like that! She betrayed us, all of us."
"He is still my brother, Fandral. Mine how you speak of him."
"We didn't have a choice Thor" Sif pleaded, "we weren't sure if we could trust her. I mean, we haven't seen them together, it's just been obvious that there is something going on between them. You haven't seen the way they look at each other, never have I seen Loki show such admiration."
"Have you even though about how Hylda feeling?" Thor said angrily. Hylda had not chosen not to come, she hadn't been allowed. "I do not know the whole story, but I am ashamed at what you have done so far. We all know Hylda. She would do anything for her friends, and you turned your backs on her-"
"She turned her back on us!" Fandral cut in. His eyes were filled wit hanger and hurt. "She fell for that evil swine! She abandoned all of us for something, someone, better!"
"Do not speak of my brother in such a manner again Fandral!" Thor yelled back. "No matter what he has done, he is still my brother."
"We didn't turn out backs on her Thor" Sif began, "Loki could be using her for all we know. Trust me Thor, I fear for my friend. However we had to get you back first."
And we could carve a tunnel under
And find out just how low it goes, it goes
And we run out of dirt on the other side when we see the light
Thor seemed to be mulling the idea around in his head. In any other circumstance he would have been thrilled. Loki needed someone like Hylda. HE knew his brother was trouble, and Hylda could be the light that he needed. Thor still refused to believe that Hylda had abandoned her friends. She was probably just as scared and confused as they were. Given the situation, he knew she could see the outcome of admitting to having feeling for Loki.
He opened his mouth to speak, but the sound of crashing explosions flooded the room. They all turned to see the townsfolk running around. Something was happening.
And if i were you, i'd look up
And find a place there in the sky where there's room enough
To spread it out, above ground
To wait it in when you come down
No Hylda or Loki, sorry :(
This chapter needed to happen though, Thor had to get caught up.
Also, I don't know if this is true or not but in my story time goes quicker in Asgard.
Don't complain, because this means more Loki for you guys ;)
PS: the next few chapters aren't going to be from the movie because we're still up on Asgard(in the movie it's the whole battle thingie)
So yeah… hopefully this is okay with ya'll :)
Reviews please! :)
