Hey guys! Man, I haven't been on here in forever. I'm going to be honest here, I'm a bit reluctant to keep continuing on this. I mean, I totally didn't even bother to finish the Christmas special (terribly sorry about that, btw)! But there is a reason that I haven't updated any of my stories for months, and it is NOT because of laziness! ...Okay, laziness was PART of it. But the real huge reason is something else. Have you ever looked back at something that you did, and realized how awful it was? That was me right there. I began to just notice that all of my fanfictions are pieces of CRAP. And don't think that because of that I decided to give up on my dreams just because my writing isn't perfect (yet). It's just that...I'm not entirely sure on continuing now when my writing has improved (it is still far from anything good, but I must say that I have gotten better), and starting off from where I last left. But, despite all of my negative thoughts on this, my best friend has been begging for more of Disney Academy for a while now, and recently she just moved to New York. So I supposed that I might as well get as much done as I can before school starts again. Also FYI, I'm not going to finish that Christmas special. That opportunity has long gone.

You will be missed, Lori- Mischief's Brat...

Another school day was over, and I was heading out the doors to go home.

Home...

Like I even knew what a place like that was. Nearly my whole life, I've been living in the prison cells of Asgard. I used to have more stuff in my cell, but I somehow always managed to use anything and everything as a way to escape.

"Hey Lori!" Nat called out. Behind her, I could see the rest of the Gulag heading towards me. The instant that Nat had reached me, she gave me a crushing hug. For a fairy, that girl is surprisingly very strong. As I gasped for air, Evelyn got the fairy to release her with some persuasion.

"Thanks, Evelyn." I gasped, as the oxygen was coming back into my system.

"Don't mention it." she grinned a cool smile.

"Hey guys," Abtash said with a slightly mischievous grin on his face, "how about we go enter people's minds?"

"Abtash," Amy looked at her brother with an annoyed look, "they're not demons. They can't-" suddenly, the demon girl stopped talking. She just stared off blankly into space.

"You alright, Amy?" I asked her.

"Huh?" Amy snapped out of her weird trance. "Oh. Sorry, I was just...thinking."

I was about to say something about it, but just then I heard a huge yell.

"LORI LAUFEYSON!" And that's my cue to leave.

"Sorry guys, but I need to go." I rushed over to Evelyn and handed my duck tape staff to her.

"Hold on to this for me, please?" I asked. What, did you really think that I could get away with bringing my powerful weapon into Asgard (well...actually, I probably could)? Without any hesitation, Evelyn gladly agreed.

"Absolutely!" she beamed. And with that, I rushed off. The guards don't like it when I keep them waiting. Once I was in the sight of the two men in armor, I started skipping like a good little schoolgirl, with a huge grin on my face. I stopped skipping when I was right in front of them, swaying from side-to-side all innocent-like as I looked up at them with big eyes and a gentle smile.

"Good day, Miss Laufeyson." One of them said with a not-so-friendly tone.

"Isn't it, gentlemen?" I spoke with a super-happy, girly voice. "I've learned so much in this magical place, and I want to be a good girl now!"

"Is that so?" Spoke the same guard. I think the other one is that one guy who never talks and takes his job super seriously.

"Yes indeed!" I nodded. "I'm ready to become a changed person, and leave my cell!"

"It seems that you've inherited a bit of your father's sense of humor." The guard chuckled for a bit. I dropped the act and gave a scowl.

"It was worth a shot." I sneered back. With a heavy sigh, I stood next to the guards as the Bifrost opened up and transported us to Asgard. Once we had arrived, I didn't even give the slightest bit of resistance when the guards grabbed me by the arms to take me back to my prison cell.

"Ah, Lori, I trust that you're day at the academy was no different from the rest?" Heimdall, the gatekeeper of the nine realms, showed no smile on his face, even though you could tell that he was speaking with a bit of humor.

"Yes, it was, thank you very much." I stuck my tongue out at him because I'm so mature like that.

As the guards dragged me down to the dungeons, I couldn't help but notice the two ravens swiftly gliding over to Oden.

"Well they seem to be in much more of a hurry than usual." I muttered to myself. What could it have been this time? Was it my fault? Depends on what they saw...

BAM!

Just like that I was thrown into my prison cell, unaware the whole time due to my own thoughts (that's the third time this week). The guards sealed the prison, and left.

As I lied down on the floor, I began to hear meowing.

"About time, Jinx."

Out of nowhere, my pet cat, Jinx pops up. He slowly walks up to me and gives me permission to gently stroke his back. I found Jinx a couple of years ago on the more lonely parts of Asgard. He was badly injured, lying wounded on the ground. Without hesitation, I took the feline in my care and brought him back good as new-with a couple of scars that are still visible here and there. The odd thing about him, however, is that he seems to have some sort of vanishing ability. It's not that he isn't there, it's just that he's so well-hidden. He can perfectly blend in with the shadows, and not even know that he's there. That's pretty much why nobody has ever noticed the cat inside of my jail cell. Just tricks and illusions. Heh.

I stroke Jinx some more, as he purrs with satisfaction.

"One day, Jinx, we're gonna get out of here, and never return to this prison. I can feel it!"

Suddenly, the lights flickered a bit. How odd. For a second, I swore that I saw some kind of figure that I can't quite make out. It's wasn't even really humanoid. It was like a monster from one of those sick and twisted fairy tales.

"You've come to the right location, if that's the case then." I say to the mysterious figure that had long gone from my vision. Despite the wit that I had, deep down, a gut feeling told me that something was coming, and it wasn't good.

Well hope that it was worth the wait. Just so you all know I'm not going to be updating anything for a whole week starting Friday because that's when I'll be going to Disneyland. Until then, stay sweet, my Friendship Gulag people...or something like that I don't know.
