Darcy was sat in the dank cave; she was still fighting for control of her body. No matter how much it hurt she wouldn't give up. She wouldn't do this, she had to fight through it. If she could re-gain full control then she could do something. She could try and ruin Thanos's plans.
"No use" he laughed.
She couldn't reply to him, she wanted to make some facial expression but her mouth remained in a neutral position.
"I left a channel open for Loki" Thanos said. Darcy had no idea what a channel was so she didn't have a clue what he meant. "A channel is something I invented. It will able Loki to return to this place with no other means of transport. Im telling you this because the channel is being used"
No, no he wasn't. He couldn't be. "No" she forced out.
Thanos clapped his hands. "Still fighting for control you pathetic little creature." He laughed. "I seem to be having a change of heart. I know what im going to do to make him suffer"
He stopped talking after that, so she was gathering he wasn't going to elaborate. A few minutes later there was a flash of light and Loki appeared. She wanted to scream at him to leave, to get away. Why did he come here? Why? He knew it was a trap and yet he did anyway.
"Give them back" Loki spat, eyes half crazed. Darcy was fighting harder than ever. She had to get through to him.
Thanos clicked his fingers and manacles appeared on Loki's wrists. Loki did what she gathered was a spell of some sort. And nothing happened. He did it again and still nothing.
"I had those made especially for you." Thanos said. "No magic will work now. So rare, I had to do a lot of torture to get those made"
Loki hissed. And at that moment Darcy wanted nothing more than to stab him. He was a fool. Why did he come here? What was wrong with him? "Let them go. You have me. Do as you will with me now, just let them go" he pleaded. Thanos met his request with a cold hard laugh.
"Make me" he taunted. "Oh wait, you can't."
"Let them go"
"See I had a plan. But just recently I had a change of plan. I know exactly what to do now." Thanos approached Darcy, and she wanted to step away but still her feet stayed planted to the ground. She fought harder, picturing Loki's face. She took one step back, but it was only an inch or so. Thanos laughed again, such a cruel and hard laugh, it made chills run up her spine. "You fight so hard for control. I am impressed"
Then in a second he punched her in the abdomen. Loki screamed and fought against the chains. When Thanos drew his hand away, there was a knife in his hands, with a thick film of red on the blade. It didn't make sense. What had happened. She couldn't feel anything.
Did he stab her?
"I relinquish my control of you Darcy." And in less than a second she screamed. Her hands went to her stomach and she fell to her knees. Her hands came away red. Loki was screaming something but she couldn't hear him. She had been stabbed and it hurt. Oh god it hurt. More than anything.
She knew one thing; she had to keep pressure on the wound. All the hospital shows she had watched taught her that. She tried to press the wound but she couldn't. Oh god the pain, oh god it hurt.
The initial shock was wearing off now, and she could hear again. Thanos was speaking. "I will leave you to watch her die, slowly and painfully. Then when I come back, I have some other newly formed plans"
Then in an instant he was gone.
"Darcy" Loki said, moving towards her, chains rattling.
She opened he mouth to reply but only a strangled cry came from her.
"Darcy say something." He was by her now. Manacles stopping any magic. It was strange what you notice when you are dying. For some reason she paid attention to the fact the cuffs of the manacles were searing his skin.
"You fucking.." she trailed off, trying to focus on her breathing. "Idiot" she finished a few seconds later.
"Darcy I'm sorry" he cried. She looked up at him, and she had never seen someone look so sad. Why did he look sad? Why did her stomach hurt? What was going on? She felt fuzzy. "I thought if there was just a chance he would let you go then it was worth it. I was wrong. I didn't think…"
"N-n-no you a-ass" she stuttered. "You d-d-didn't thi-nk. N-now we're b-both gonna d-die"
"No, we are not going to die."
Loki knew it was the wrong choice to go there. To walk right into his trap. But if there was a chance he would let Darcy and Frigga go. Then he had to take it. Even if it was such a small chance. He had to try. In his anger and pure panic and desperation he didn't think it through. He was too afraid what would happen to Darcy.
Now here she was bleeding out in front of him.
"I a-am" Darcy spluttered. A dibble of blood ran down her pale chin. He tried to reach out to her but the manacles seared into him and wouldn't let him. He couldn't part his hands enough. They were too strong. "You are not. Y-ou will e-e-e-escape" she stuttered through her words.
"Darcy shush" he pleaded. Edging closer, so their bodies were in contact. She fell into him.
"Y-y-ou are. Going to g-get free. W-w-when you d-do. T-ell Jane and p-p-people I say bye"
"Darcy you are not going to die. You are never going to leave me. You promised me"
"Loki I love you" she whispered, finding the strength in her to not stumble through her words.
He could tell she was getting weaker. "Darcy I love you with my whole heart and you are NOT going to die." Loki wasn't sure if she heard him, as her eyes closed and she seemingly lost consciousness.
Loki's scream rang out on the cave walls. This was where he was tortured before and then he agreed to help Thanos and he here was again. Facing a worse form of torture than anything he ever experienced. "Darcy" He screamed. But there was no answer from her. Instead her name rung out on the cave walls. The echo taunting him.
Ta da! I had a lovely review that made me write this faster and I was thinking "yes I can update in a few days" but then I had a social life for a few days so it still comes later than I wanted.
But the "social life" I had was really fun so … sorry :D
Its really weird to think that this is now 29 chapters, when i was expecting to either delete this story when no one liked it, or to make it short because ... yeah. But here i am with loads of reviews and follows and favs and i just, THANK YOU!
And to the reviewer "mohawkbaby" I would like to say thank you, because it was a great review and like … yeah.
Till the next time, BYE! :D
