Chapter 21

A/N: Wow, the story got so dark... It will get a bit happier, then a bit rougher but don't worry- I hate torturing characters. It hurts, in here(motions towards heart) I love you all so much and am exceedingly grateful for your reviews/favorites/follows. It really warms my heart. Thank you all soo much!

Recap: Loki is going after Darcy. He is going to save her, he has to! He has his weapons sharpens and some Thor quotes come up. I hope you saw what I did there.

***Darcy's P.O.V***

…Loki was next to me, he was holding my hand. I smiled to him and wrapped my arms around him; it felt like I hadn't seen him in years. He looked at me in my eyes sadly, I gave him a sad smile and my eyes got all teary, so I began to cry.

"Please don't cry," Loki whispered.

"It was horrible," I whimpered.

"I know, I know my darling. You are so strong to have endured that, I don't know what I would have done if-"his voice cracked and next thing I knew, he was weeping too.

My heart shattered into a million pieces to see all this sadness in his eyes, and I did the only thing I could think of; I smashed my lips onto his. Loki's hands pulled me closer, crushing my body into his. Next thing I knew, we were on the bed; I was on his laps.

"I love you Darcy," he whispered staring into my eyes.

Unable to look away from his forest green eyes, I studied them for any hint of a lie. I smiled when I saw none; this was my Loki and I kissed him once again before responding.

"I love you too," I whispered back.

He took my hand and I snuggled into his chest with my eyes closed. He was with me, I had him and he had me. Everything seemed perfect, fine, whole. When he pulled away, we were in the garden of Asgard. I looked around; it looked weird, distorted.

Loki splashed me with water, but I didn't feel it's coolness like I had the last time. I giggled and splashed him and he pulled me close and kissed me once more.

"Sif is coming," Loki said suddenly, demolishing our moment.

He got up and kissed me one more time. Sadly, I watched him leave and Lady Sif, twenty feet taller than me walked over to me. I stared up at her giant face and watched her features turn blue, into Adrianice.

"Loki only used you," Adrianice spat.

"No, go away!" I screamed, throwing myself on the floor.

…Loki glared at me, we were in the sand and I had just hit him with my car. His eyes were menacing and evil, I was terrified. How hadn't I noticed the wild, tortured look in his eyes from the moment I met him?!

"Um… are you Asgardian?" I blurted out.

He turned quickly and his green eyes flashed anger at me. He glared and said, "I asked you a question! How dare you respond to me with such, such disrespect?"

Shocked at his tone, I glared back. It was a natural defense; I couldn't control my sudden fits of anger. But, as he glowered at me and I could feel myself growing weak.

"Loki-"I started whimpering.

"Prince Loki! How dare a mewling quim such as yourself address me in such a tone?!" Loki hissed.

"I- I love you," I whispered.

"Y- You love me?! What do you want me to respond? That I love you? Of course I don't you stupid Migardian, I have no need to put up with your stupidity- why I should just destroy you on the spot," Loki glared.

Wide eyed, I stepped back a few steps. I was crying in the next second, Loki's death threat completely forgotten. The only part that stayed with me was the part when he said that he didn't love me. Then, I remembered something; Adrianice's attempts to turn me against Loki.

My hands flew to my ears and I began screaming as I shut my eyes and felt a burning sensation in my arms…

Painfully, my eyes flew open. I looked around. I was in a frozen jail cell in Joutenheim. It was all just a dream. Because of the cold, I wrapped my arms around myself and tried to stop the shivering.

Loki, he didn't need me, how could he? I was just a stupid Migardian. But all those kisses we shared, all those pledges of love… they couldn't have meant nothing. He loved me and I loved him- I thought.
