Chapter 10: Clamity
Kalani sat cross legged on her couch, a bottle of tequila pressed against her lips. If the world wasn't at stake she would have put an end to Loki already. But she had no choice. Her mother would enslave humanity and probably kill the male species. Nope for now she was stuck with Loki and his fucking insufferable face. Her outburst at him still played in her mind. She lost control and that was dangerous. She had to be in control, she wasn't a little girl anymore. She was a woman, no she was a warrior now and it was up to her to save the world from her weakness so long ago. She took another deep chug of her bottle has the devil himself walked in.
"cheers," she said sarcastically and took a third chug.
He lifted an eyebrow up, "may I join you?"
She swept her hand out, "free world, do as you please."
He poured himself a drink and took it in one swig, choking on it. "What is that?"
She took the bottle from him, "Baby. Its tequila. What's wrong can't hang with the big girls."
Loki tightened his jaw, "I can handle my liquor just fine."
"Oh sweet cheeks you can't handle my kind of liquor. It burns you, right down to your little black dried up soul, if you even posse one. Which I seriously fucking doubt."
"Tsk tsk my lady I have a soul, its laying around here somewhere."
She quirked her eyebrow up at his attempt of humor. "Oh hardy har har. Why Loki you are so hilarious how do you keep the droves of women off you" She rolled her eyes to emphasize her sarcasm, muttering obscenities into her bottle. ..."fucking egotistic...bet he...whores...drag queens..." she chuckled to herself.
"Something amusing you?" Loki asked, his eyebrow raised.
She slid her eyes over to him, and started laughing. "Nothing that concerns you, Frosty."
They sat in silence for a bit. Until Kalani grew tired of it. "Ever heard of Truth or dare?"
"No."
"Its a mortal game oh great God Loki. Simple self explanatory and you can drink while playing. I rather play then sit here and think of all the ways ima kill you."
"Am I correct in assuming you either chose a Truth to tell or a Dare to do."
She tapped her nose, "Right on. If you do the dare the other person drinks if you pass you drink. If you lie you double drink. Once the round is over both parties drink. So lets start, which will you chose Truth or Dare?" She wiggled her eyebrows and smirked.
Loki pondered for a moment, "Dare." he replied.
"Perfect. Loki I dare you to twirl like a ballerina for 10 seconds."
Loki sneered slightly, But got up and twirled on his toes.
Kalani waved her hand and put a tutu of ice around him. Her giggles erupted forth from her mouth and tears made their way down her cheek. She took a shot between giggles as Loki sat down. "Oh fuck," she breathed, "I thought I had you with that." She wiped her eyes and calmed down.
"Truth or dare."
"Dare" She answered as the words barely passed his lips.
"I dare you to lick my boots."
"The funny thing is I'm not surprised. Plus I aint no bitch."
Kalani bent down in front of Loki and stuck out her tongue so he could see and flicked it across his right shoe. She leaned back on her legs, and turned her head slightly to the side, "Hmm, taste like...disappointment." She got back to her side of the couch. "Don't forget to drink twice. I did the dare and the round is over."
"Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
She smirked, "If you lie, you drink. So Loki what's your biggest fear."
"I fear nothing," he replied quickly
"Ohhh thats a lie, double shot. You may not want to admit it but we all fear something."
Loki made a noise in the back of his throat, and took his drink. "Truth or dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you to give me a kiss." Loki smirked.
Kalani took a triple shot of her drink, "Nice try I rather die." Loki made a tsking sound. She smirked, "well now don't sound to disappointed. Rounds over drink."
"Truth or Dare?"
"Dare.'
"I dare you to finish this bottle." She handled him the bottle they had been drinking out of which was still have full. Loki didn't reach for it. "Whats wrong is the big bad God Of Mischief afraid of some alcohol." She pouted in a mocking baby tone eyebrows drawn together.
His eyes narrowed slightly and he took the bottle from her. "Take your time." She smirked. She flicked her fingers turning the bottle cold in his hands, "mazel tov."
He look distastefully at the bottle before tipping it to his lips and chugging as fast as he could. Kalani tried to hide her surprise she had 'forgot' to tell Loki that her liquor wasn't regular liquor. Because of her fast metabolism that allowed her to heal faster she couldn't get drunk quite as easily as the average human so she had some extra strong stuff made for her. Then again a drunk Loki might be a funny one or angry one, maybe he was a cry baby. Whatever the case it was sure to be funny.
He slammed the bottle down and let out a loud burp. Kalani stifled her laughter. "That was repulsive." He was sure to feel it soon. She went to the bar and got a bottle of wine. She popped it open and poured a drink. "You'll live, your highness." she gave a sarcastic bow.
"Truth or Dare."
"Dare."
He smirked, "I dare you to stay immobile for 60 seconds, if you move you start over."
Her eyes narrowed as he feign innocence. "Okay. Time me."
Loki produced an illusion of a stop watch in mid air. "Ready?" she nodded, "3...2...1...start." The stop watch starting counting.
He watched her a gleam in his eyes and before she could react his lips where pressing softly against her's. She force herself to stay still to not react, be as frozen as her ice. He pulled back a smirk on his lips. He went in again except this time his lips ghosted her collarbone and traveled up her neck to press against her jaw under her ear. His light kisses traveled back to her collarbone. She flicked her eyes to the watch 30 seconds had pass. Half way over. She let her mind wonder, if Loki thought he was going to get a reaction out of her he was delusional. 30 seconds pass and the watch beeped loudly before disappearing.
Kalani pulled herself away immediately. Loki smirked, his cheeks slightly red. "Aw, but i wasn't done my lady."
The bottle was definitely starting to his him. He pouted, actually pouted his eyes turning sad. Of all the looks he ever shot her way this one struck her, puppy eyed Loki
"To bad, your free groping session is over." She got up and refilled her wine glass taking a moment to herself. This was stupid, Loki was a villain. He tried to enslave humanity, cause of his actions thousands of New Yorkers died. Maybe there was more to him, maybe he had some humanity or compassion in him. Maybe he acted the villain to keep other away. Maybe's didn't do anything he was this way and nothing might ever change that.
"So truth or dare." She turned back and looked at Loki, passed out on the couch. She stifled her giggle, that bottle got him. She threw a blanket over him and retired to her chambers glad their game was over. She hadn't learn much from him, but she hadn't given him much either.
The breeze carried the scent of the ocean across a button nose. She closed her golden almond shape eyes which sat under long eyelashes. She turned her head toward the sun smiling with thick pale pink lips, and sucked in the salty scent of her true home, the Sea. The sun cracked down on her honey caramel colored skin, a thin sheet of ice covered parts of her keeping her skin from burning. She wore a green floral skirt with a high slit in his and a white bandeau. She cracked her eyes open slightly and slid them over to the other body that occupied this ship.
His pitch black hair, no doubt the same color as his soul, shone in the sunlight. Designer sunglasses hide those piercing blue eyes, but not his prominent cheekbones, full lips, and a jaw line that looked to be sculpted by the gods. He held himself high and straight making him look as regale as he thought he was. He was a god among men and he knew it. Arrogance steamed from every perfect angular shape of his face and chiseled body. He's white French linen shirt was loose and open on the top revealing his pale chest, navy blue pants fit long legs and plump ass perfectly, dark brown leather shoes donned his feet. He looked like a male socialite out for a day on his yachted not a super evil Norse God that tried to enslave humanity.
He was evil though make no mistake. He did try to take over New York and bring an alien race to destroy and enslave her kind. Thankfully her team mates and her, known to the world as The Avengers, defeated him. Thor, his brother, took him back to their homeland of Asgard where he had been sitting in a cell for a year. That was until Thor broke him out to help avenge their mother who was slain by Dark Elves. Now here he was on her boat. After they were defeated her tattoo started to show, meaning her crazy mother was about to break out of her prison. Kalani couldn't believe she enlisted this maniacs help, but here they were. Drawing ever closer, her tattoo becoming bigger every passing day and now monsters of Lalotai where out to try and stop them.
Loki played his role of helpful ally well, but a snake was still a snake. Bound to bite and poison you when you least expect it. The betrayal would come it was in his nature. Luckily for her she had an insurance policy. It would be foolish to climb into a snake pit without the proper tools. After all she been through she was no fool. Her body on the other hand was. There was no denying since the first time her lips met his something in her as been longing. He made a fire in her belly that was hard to ignore. She would be stupid to act on such impulses all the way. Infact she already hated herself for the stolen kisses and touches she already allowed. Then again it wasn't real to Loki, she knew what he was doing. Trying to woe her, to make her lose her senses and lull her into a fall sense. He thought himself to be succeeding it, but she was no longer a doe eye romantic. Let him believe he was undoing her, she would take his trap and turn it into her own.
Suddenly the boat rocked, almost capsizing, throwing Kalanis thoughts and body aside. Her and Loki collided falling into a heap on the floor as sea water washed over them. The boat rocked back and forth, as water continued to wash over them. She coughed up water, "What the fuck!" She slid her eyes over to Loki, their bodies were tangled together. Drips of water fell to her face as Loki looked down on her. His hair looked longer wet,
"You alright?" he asked.
"What ever hit us is going to die!" Her eyes burned in anger. She untangled herself from Loki, pushing him away. "Get off! Its coming back."
Slowly armor formed around her body, two double edge also formed around her hands, and her hair lifted up into a bun. "Better equip yourself well, every monster is more vile then the last. This one i sense a thirst for blood."
The sea was deadly calm. Loki stood tense in his armor and daggers in either had. He too sense something under the sea, something more powerful then the others. his creature was circling, waiting. He turned his attention to Kalani. Her battle stance was perfect. Her lean muscles flexed under her armor, her face set in intense focus. She was so tiny more then a foot shorter then him, but size wasn't everything even Sif would lose to her. This one was fierce, passionate, fire. Maybe in another life she would have made a fine strong queen and they could have ruled the nine realms together. Yet reality was she hated him. First impressions were everything and his probably wasn't the best, she was only using him now as he was her. Maybe in another time line.
A long sea-green colored tentacle broke the surface of the water. It was a centimeter away from Kalani before one of Loki's daggers cut it in half. Her face dropped for a moment as she eyed the tentacle before she regain her composure.
"Do you know what creature we have before us?"
"It's called Pua Tu Tani." Her face harden, "This isn't good. The other monsters were killable. This one, this one might not be. You can cut a tentacle but it will regenerate. Also its shell is to my knowledge is impenetrable. Honestly we might not stand a chance."
"isn't that just comforting."
"Well looks like we are going to die. Any last words?"
"Do not allow Thor to speak at my services."
She smirked, "Oh how can i resist now." Her smile dropped. "This really isn't good, Loki. We are going to need a plan..." More tentacles shot up and went for them. They dodged and weaved cutting all that came into view. yet more came and it was as Kalani said, each one they cut regenerated.
"Come on!" She yelled five tentacles reached for her she cut each one down. "Show yourself beast!"
"perhaps if its imperishable you should not provoke it."
"Well now where is the fun in that?"
"I find staying alive fun."
Kalani scoffed and continued to fight the tentacles. "Its just playing with us trying to tire us out so we are easier to kill. We're just wasting energy at this point."
"What kind of creature is it?"
"Like a monstrous clam. We cannot cut through the shell and it regenerates; we might need to get off sea and unto land."
Kalani continued to fight. They were fucked. That bitch let loose a good one this time. Forcing her onto land, that would delay them badly. The only way to her mothers prison island was by boat, any other way was impossible. The island held a barrier, which is why they couldn't just flash there with Loki's powers. The only way in was by boat and only one who carried her mothers blood could open the barrier to allow passage. Her boat held a similar smaller barrier which was why Loki couldn't just flash off her boat, well fuck that was another problem. Did he know about her barrier or did he assume she had something that hindered his ability to leave. The first night on her boat he tried to leave but the barrier prevented him. If they landed on land would he try again? Damn she was backed into a corner.
"Loki?" She yelled as she sliced her way through more slimy tentacles. "Use your magic, steer south west we need to find land, fast!"
Loki made a copy of himself at the wheel. The boat started moving quickly, knocking Kalani off her feet. She shot dozen of icicles as the tentacles reached for her. Her and Loki met in the middle of the boat as hundreds of tentacles came up from the water, waving to and fro dropping large droplets of water on them. They made no move to attack. Suddenly the boat stopped knocking Loki and Kalani into each other once more. It rocked back and forth and they could hear water falling.
"shit, shit, shit...I think the fucking thing is picking us up."
They rushed over to the side of the boat, and indeed they were being lifted from the ocean. She had to think of something fast.
"Can you hide our presence from the creature?"
Loki looked at her questionably, "yes why."
She grabbed his hand, "Cuz we need to abandon ship. Leave a copy of me and you on here." She pulled him off the boat and jumped unto her ice slide. She didn't look back until they were far enough, to see her boat being swallowed up by all the tentacles. The ride to land was silent, it was a welcome sign as a port came into view. She lead them to the side away from people. Finally on land she collapse. It was a hot on this island and she had over done her powers.
"That fucking bitch!" Kalani huffed out between breaths. Her breathing was harder she felt warm. "I will..." The last thing she seen was Loki' amused face before the darkness over took her.
