"Frost giants? Are you serious?!" Christie exclaimed, suddenly feeling very scared. Loki sighed deeply.
"Annerledes, you need to promise me something," he said softly, his hands cupping her cheeks so she was looking directly into his deep green eyes.
"What?"
"You need to help me fight this," he asked desperately.
"Fight what?" Christie asked in confusion. Then she realised. "OH MY GOD I KNEW THIS WASN'T YOU! Something's possessing you, and when it fades in your eyes are blue and when you're back to yourself the eyes are green, I knew it, that wasn't you sending me to jail, it was whatever was in you oh god oh god oh god how are we gonna get it-" Loki cut Christie off with a kiss, deep and loving, his hands supported behind her head. They broke apart.
"I've got to play along," he whispered, his lips still against hers. Christie shook her head, tears spilling out of her eyes.
"Please don't, what if it kills you, I can't live without you," Christie sobbed. It was the first time in a long time that she was actually crying and Loki could tell. He looked heartbroken to see her so upset. He wiped her tears away with his thumbs.
"Please don't cry," he said softly, not too sure how to handle this. He stroked Christie's long white hair until she calmed down a little. "Are you ready to talk about this?" he asked her gently. Christie looked up from his lap and nodded slowly, eyes rimmed red.
"Fine."
"You, need to make sure you fight this with me. It's taking over me, half the things I say I don't even know I'm saying," Loki told her truthfully. Christie nodded, feeling the tears well up again. Before they could continue, the doors opened and all three of the girls ran in. Loki suddenly disappeared and the girls gasped.
"Where did he go?!" Jen asked in shock. Suddenly Loki reappeared again, his eyes scared.
"They're here, I just...I don't know, I let them in, I can't control this," he groaned, looking frustrated and taking short, sharp breaths. Christie held his face close to hers.
"Come on, fight it," she muttered under her breath.
"I'm trying," Loki promised her, his voice beginning to crack.
"Oh god they're here," Delilah whispered, as distant screams and bangs rang through the air.
"Annerledes what do we do?!" Ren asked in a panic.
"Okay I'm going to find Lady Frigga, she's gonna send you down to Midgard," Christie said, turning round to face her terrified looking friends.
"Annerledes, I have to go and deal with this. I don't know if I'm ever gonna come back out of this but try and fight it, for us," Loki begged, making Christie turn back around. "I'll be able to contact you through our minds. So as long as you don't block me out, that will be the real me talking, always." Christie nodded and kissed him slowly.
"Stay safe, good luck, please come back to me," she asked as they broke apart. Loki kissed the top of her nose softly and nodded.
"I'll try. I love you," he mumbled, before disappearing. Christie stood there at the empty space, swaying slightly in shock before springing into action. The girls ran over and gave her a hug.
"Come on, Annerledes, he'll be back soon," Jen sniffed. Christie nodded and wiped her eyes and began to make a beeline to find Frigga.
