18 White crystal
I was walking in indefinite direction with my bag. I called to my old friend, Laura, and asked for permission to come to her and stay a couple of weeks. She was living in Colchester and I decided to take a train.
Soon I was sitting in train and just stared at window but couldn't see anything. Soon I was on the last station, exactly mine. There was 9.30 pm. And absolutely nobody on the platform. I walked slowly in almost complete darkness. As I noticed lonely figure was approaching me. I couldn't see the face. But when he went closer…
It was Loki. My heart cracked in pain. I was just silently standing still, peering on him. Tears unwittingly appeared into my eyes. He said nothing and tried to take my hand. I pulled my hand away.
"Why?" he asked. "Ella, why did you leave?"
I was shaken: "And you do not understand?" tears was running down my face.
"Ella, how did I offend you???" Loki had disoriented look.
"You lied to me!" I yelled at him.
"but how?" he still was acting as if he didn't understand.
I couldn't stand it any longer. I loved him so much but all this was lie. He was the God of mischief, after all. And I was finished fool.
I tossed my bag away and soared in the sky. Loki instantly followed me.
I didn't want to see him.
I increased my speed. Tears covered my eyes. I so wished to escape him! To forget him, to forget how I was happy with him. But he somehow managed to reach me.
"Ella, please, stop!" he screamed behind me.
But I didn't listen to him. I just tried to fly faster. But after few seconds he overtook me and began parallel flight slightly ahead. After that he managed to catch me up by my wrists.
"Ella, listen to me!" Loki pleaded. Tears in his eyes.
"Why should I Loki? Why?" I tried to release my hands, but he was holding me tight.
"But I love you! With all of my heart!" Loki looked into my eyes but I turned away.
I silently sobbed. I was so tired and I became so weak.
We were silent for a minute or so. I wiped my tears and regained ability to speak. I turned my face to Loki and stared right into his eyes:
"I read one of your ancient books. And it all became clear to me. Because you used me, all of this time. You played all this spectacle with me only for one purpose: that I fell in love with you! Thus all emeralds would gain maximum power and White crystal would gain infinite power!" I was screaming now.
"All you need was power!"
I tore the chain with crystals from my neck and threw it to Loki.
"Here it is!" I yelled at him. Tears were running down my face. And I flew away.
"Wait!!!" was just what I heard.
Loki was again chasing me. He reached me a few seconds late and tried to hold me again. Now I grew angry.
"Leave me alone!" I concentrated all my powers and shoot huge lightning towards him.
He escaped my attack.
"Ella, you are wrong!" he cried out. "I don't want to fight with you! Listen please."
I didn't listen. I was throwing lightnings and ice-blades towards him. I was so extremely angry for him and for myself that I was such foolish! Such foolish… Tears again run down my face. Only this morning I really wanted to be happy with him! We could be happy! I was harbouring one little secret for him, for both of us. But now it didn't have matter…
I was throwing stuff to Loki I do not know how long. But I didn't know if I hit him or not. I was so exhausted.
I began lose control and started falling down… My conscious faded away… But now it doesn't matter… Now I was so serene…
I felt how somebody embraced me tight. I didn't see much but we still were falling…
I recollected my consciousness back. Loki was holding me in his arms. We were hanging in the air. I instantly tried to release myself. But I didn't succeed.
Loki was looking into my eyes, caressing my hairs.
"Ella, it wasn't my goal to cheat you or smth. The powers of crystals were more than enough in activated state without any love between custodians. You just haven't read till the end. Let me show you this book and you will see all with your own eyes!"
"But how can I trust you? Maybe you altered texts with your magic?"
"Ella! Gods, I love you, just really love you!" Loki was like in panic. "Don't you see that? Didn't you see that through all our journey?"
I was silent.
"Damn you Loki!" I screamed at him. "I loved you! I trusted you!" Tears, oh this treacherous tears.
"Ella, scream at me, hit me, take all my powers, kill me if you want." he took out a dagger and handed it to me exposing his chest. "But please do not ever leave me again."
I took the dagger watching him. He was very serious. His green eyes were piersing my soul. What should I say, what could I do?
"Darn you, Loki!" I said hardly audible.
I dropped the knife and looked away.
He gently took my chin in his hand and gently turned my face to his.
"Ella, marry me."
I was shocked: "What?"
He silently took the small box out of his jeans and opened it. There was a golden ring in it.
"Ella, I just love you without any emeralds, powers and so on. But I am so happy that we lived our little adventure together. And now we can be together." he looked at me pleadingly. "Do not leave me, please! Stay with me! I want to be with you, forever. Ella, marry me!"
I was just silent. Heavens, I love Loki sooooo much! Maybe I was wrong? I can't ruin it.
I was silent. I just want to be silent a few moments.
"Damn you Loki! I will."
He kissed me so tenderly with his such sweet kiss. All my body was shivering. He pulled me closer to him.
"I love you Ella, oh God!" he was moaning into my ear. He was kissing me again and again, embracing with such fire and passion. I returned the kiss, locking him in my hugs, leaning closer. We were melting in each other. Again. And it was exactly what I wanted. And I will not ruin it. Loki will not let it happen. I knew it. I was finally in his loving, caring and secure hands.
"You know Loki, I have something to say to you."
He kissed me and looked questioningly.
"Loki, I'm pregnant." I said simply.
Loki was shocked. It was a view I should say. :-P
"What?" pause,long,long,long pause... "It's the best news ever!!!"
