I'm sorry about the late update. Things were really rough last month and now with school starting up once again I will try and work on chapters whenever I can.
So, the happy times are now over. For the next two chapters things will be really really dark and on the their one, we will skip to a month before the movie begins so there will be a time skip. I am warning my reviews now, if you have any problems with dark themes such as torture or anything of the sort, I would wait until the third chapter. Like I said, it's gonna get sad and depressing in the next two chapters.
You have been warned.
Enjoy!

It's Thor's 18th birthday.
The day he truly becomes a man both in my world and his.
And it is the day I tell him how I really feel about him.
How he makes my heart jump every time I see him, I get this feeling of butterflies in my stomach, and how I can always feel safe and wanted when I'm near him. Our...first kiss was nothing but a small promise, a gift from me to him, but I want to tell him how much he means to me in every since way so that's why on this day I will take his hand, look him in the eyes and say three simple words that mean to most to me.
I love him.
I love Thor.
He's the only one I want.
The day started out right, going to school with a smile that no one can take away from me. I ignored all the children who looked at me funny as I held my head high in school. I pushed aside all of their comments and smart remarks. At the end of the day someone stood in my way to going home and I smirked at them, looked up at them under my full eyelashes that had grown over the summer, and simple said the words move with as much confidence and power as I could muster.
He did.
With a very scared look on his face as I walked past. When I got home I threw my books in my room, took a shower, ate dinner with my parents, then went to bed early. I got these butterfly feeling in my stomach as I woke in my room in Asgard. My dress Frigga gave me was already hanging up and waiting for me to put on. I threw off the covers and went to work.
I took care of applying a small amount of make-up that sat on my dresser, then getting dressed. Just as I finished I heard a knock. Frigga entered with a smile and helped me with my hair. We put it up beautifully, adding golden arm bands and my necklace to go with it. Frigga rested her hands on my shoulders, smiling at me in the mirror, saying I will be the most beautiful girl in the ball room. I smiled and thanked her. We left a short while later, making sure everything was perfect and I couldn't trip over my dress. We walked towards the room and my heart began beating loudly in my chest. I could hear the music, the people talking, and the sounds of laughter. The doors opened opened for us and all heads turned. They bowed for the queen but I don't know if they were bowing for me as well. I can't tell. I looked forward and saw Thor and Loki standing with their father near the back on the top of the small staircase. I smiled as we walked across the floor towards them.
"You look beautiful Odette." Loki said and gave me a kiss on the cheek like he usually does.
"You don't look too bad yourself Loki." I said and we laughed. Thor walked over to me, look my hand, and gave me a kiss on my knuckles.
"I have to agree with my brother my lady. You look stunning." He said and I felt my face heat up. I took my hand back and gave Thor's arm a good punch.
"None of that nonsense mister. I know your dirty tricks." I said to him and he smiled, rubbing his arm like it actually hurts.
"Come now my lady, I would never do such a thing." He said and we all started to laugh. Loki asked me to dance and I said yes. He twirled me around and around when suddenly I was spun into Thor was laughed. Loki was smiling as well, laughing to see my confused face when I switched partners. "Hello again."
"You are trying to make me look like a fool aren't you?" I asked him and Thor chuckled a deep laugh that sent shivers down my spine. Thor saw and leaned in close, whispering in my ear.
"If I wanted to make you a fool you wouldn't be wearing that dress. Something more colorful with bells." He said and I laughed.
"Let not get ahead of ourselves. Besides, you have the rest of your party to be entertained. I for one, will not be one of them." I said just as the danced ended.
We clapped and we walked towards the table loaded with food. Loki joined us and we all sat at a table and ate, laughing and guessing what Thor's gifts would be. We laughed at a few and joked about some others. When we it was time for cake my jaw dropped.
I have never seen a cake so large in my whole life.
Unlike in my world where we sing a small tune and the birthday person blows out the candles, they don't do that here. They just skip right to eating it but Loki was nice enough to conjure up a candle to stick in Thor's slice. Loki let it on fire and Thor closed his eyes, making a wish before blowing it out.
"What did you wish for brother?" Loki asked but Thor shook his head.
"I cannot tell you or my wish will not come true." He replied and we laughed.
"Odette, will we do this on my name day?" Loki asked and I nodded.
"Of course! It's going to be amazing Loki!" I said to him and he smiled.
After cake then it was time for presents. Thor opened all of them, getting weapons, clothing, and anything you can think of getting for a prince. He even got a horse! A horse when already has three of them! When he asked for mine I told him he would be getting it after the party. It's special and he smiled at me, saying he was looking forward to it.
We talked to some people, ate some more, and went through his gifts deciding which ones were better than the rest. Near the end of the party I pulled Thor over to the side near the window where the sun was setting on this world and took a deep breath.
"Thor, I need to tell you something. It's part of your birthday present actually." I said with a smile and Thor returned it.
"And what would that be?" He asked.
"Thor, I-"
"Ahhh!" We heard somebody scream. Our heads turned to see this dark warriors run into the room, weapons drawn. People started to scramble as the castle guards took action. Thor grabbed my hand and led me to where his mother was standing.
"Stay here." He said and Frigga held me close to her as Thor took off.
"Thor!" I shouted but Frigga reassured me that he would be alright. Between the people running around screaming and the guards fighting along with Odin, I couldn't see Loki or Thor anywhere.
I didn't until everything slowed down, there was a gap in people, and I saw Thor fighting one of the warriors with one raising a spear behind him.
No...no...
My feet moved on my own. Frigga called to me but I couldn't hear as I ran towards the boy I loved so much. I was so close to telling him...to letting him know how much he meant to me...
"No!" I cried as I moved in front of Thor just as the dark warrior released the spear.
Then...
Then I felt someone lodge itself in my stomach.
I looked down, looking at where the weapon pierced my body, blood slowly coming from the wound.
"Odette!" Thor screamed, taking take of the warrior he was with before catching me as I fell to the floor. The dark warriors fled then, retreating as the guards chased them out. Odin boomed as people ran out of the room. The remaining people in the room were Frigga, Odin, and Loki. Loki ran towards us, coming to the floor where Thor cradled me in his arms. "Odette look at me!" Thor said and I looked at him. His face looked so worried with his eyes watering.
"It hurts to breathe." I said, my voice horse.
"Mother! Father!" Loki called. Odin and Frigga came running, the woman I've called the closest thing to a mother coming to her knees as well, Odin standing behind her.
"Loki, run to the healers, begin them here." Odin said and Loki didn't question, he went running. Frigga patted my hair and Odin looked over where the spear was lodged. His face looked grim and I had to laugh.
"It's bad isn't?" I asked and Odin came over, Thor bracing me as Odin snapped the spear so it wouldn't cause me any more discomfort than I'm already in. "It hurts!" I cried. Frigga looked at her husband who came down to his knees next to her.
"We must do something! There must be a way to save her!" She cried, tears steaming down her face.
"By the time the healers come it may be too late. I sent Loki away because he does not need to see this." Odin looked at Thor with a grim face. "I would send you away son but I know you will not let her go for a second." He said and Thor nodded his head.
"You are correct father. I will not leave her side." He said and looked at me. I smiled and rested my hand on his face.
"I'm sorry I ruined your party. I didn't even give you your birthday gift." I said and he rested his hand on mine.
"You did no such thing Odette. You can give me your gift when you are better. I have something planned for us when you get better. A whole day doing whatever you want." He said and I felt one of his tears land on my face.
"I would like that Thor. But, I need to tell you something." I said and Thor shook his head.
"You can tell me later, just try and keep your strength up. The healers are coming." He said and I took hold of his shirt and brought him closer to my face.
"No, I need to tell you!" I coughed and Thor held me closer. "For years I've looked up to you and have stood by you as your best friend in the entire world. Over the years my feelings have changed how I felt about you Thor." I said to him and more tears ran from his eyes. He smiled a weak sad smile, kissing my palm. "I want to tell you that I've managed to fall in love with you Thor. So much it makes these butterflies appear in my stomach and I just want to be around you always." I said. The pain got worse as I coughed again, blood coming from my mouth. My head began to spin and my vision began to blur.
"That's funny Odette. I've felt the same way for a long time." He said and my heart began to beat hard inside my chest. My own tears started to pour from my eyes as I saw his bright smile look down at me. "And I want to tell you that I've managed to fall in love with you too. To hold you and say that you'll be with me forever. You're the only one I want Odette." He said and he kissed the top of my head. I coughed again and smiled.
"You're the only one I want too." I said and my coughing got worse as did the pain. "I'm so sorry." I said and I felt my legs go numb and it got harder to breathe.
"Stay with me Odette! You hear me! You have to stay here with me! You can't leave me now that I've told you how much I love you!" He cried and I used what was left of my strength to rise myself up to kiss him on the lips. It was quick and sweet but I did it.
"I love you too." With that I felt my eyes close and the world began to spin.
"Odette!" I heard Thor cry out and I felt myself slip away. I saw the familiar swirl of the portal that took me home but when I woke up...
I woke up screaming...
My parents rushed in, dressed in their pj's to see their child bleeding on the bed. I was rushed to the hospital, muttering of how I saved my friend from getting stabbed and what happened. They looked at me funny, they were thinking I was crazy. I was put to sleep, going into operation to see if they could save me.
When I woke up my parents where there, frowns on their faces, holding hands.
"Sweetie, everything is going to be alright. We're going to send you someplace nice where you'll get better okay?" My mom said and I didn't know what she was talking about. She began to cry as they stepped aside and a man dressed in black stepped close to me. I didn't like the way he looked or was looking at me.
"Hello little one. My name is Doctor Mark. Once you're all better you'll be going to a special place where we'll be able to get to know each other better. I'll be able to help you get much better and we'll get rid of those nonexistent delusions." He said with a sick smile and he looked over at my parents. "You're doing the right thing. Sending her to get help is what's best. Children by this age who still believe in imaginary friend will only harm themselves in the future." He said and my parents nodded their heads.
"Please take good care of her. We should've spoken up sooner but we didn't know she would go so far as harming herself." My mom said and I tried to speak but my voice came out wrong.
"I'm not lying..." said and my mom came towards me.
"But this is all in your head sweetie. You have no friends and there is no such thing as Asgard. It's all just made up. You need help sweetheart and we're getting you help." She said and I watched as my parents left, no good-bye, no kiss, not even staying to allow me to talk from what I can. The man standing besides me trailed his hand up my leg to where it rest on my chest, over my heart. I wanted this man off of me. He's sick and what he was doing was making me sick.
"Don't worry Odette. I'll take good care of you." He said and I watched his eyes turn black as night and this dark energy pour out of him. "We'll have so much fun together. I can wait to get my hands on you." He purred and I wanted to cry, to scream, to kick him but I couldn't move by body.
What I didn't know was in the next few years I would be living a life in hell...
My mind will shatter into a thousand pieces...
My childhood would be no more...
My life ripped away from me...
My voice silenced...
My family...
Gone...
All of them...
Gone...
"Welcome to the dark priestess..."
