Greetings.
I hope that you like this chapter that I wrote instead of sleeping!
Chapter 13: Choices
The door cracked open. The grating sound of unoiled metal startled Thor out of his sleep.
He moved slightly so he could see the intruder. The rustling his actions created seemed deafening. The Frost Giant must have heard it!
He saw that the child he had seen earlier was leading the goats back into the barn. Once they had all entered safely, it closed the door and walked towards the very hay bale Thor was hiding in.
Curses! What should I do? It's coming closer!
Thor decided that he had three options.
The first, try and go further into the pile of hay and hope that the child didn't find him. Nay, that is not the way of the warrior and it would be too much of a risk if it did see him.
The second, wait until the child looked away and run out of the barn. Not that either, the child was sure to notice an Asgardian man who had infiltrated Jotunheim. And who knew what the Giants would send to finish him?
And the third, jump out and attack.
That is exactly what he wanted to do. But the nagging voice in his head reared up, taking the voice of Loki.
No, you imbecile! Do you want to alert every Jotun in the vicinity to your being here? Do you?
But before his legs could move the hay on top of him was removed and the Jotun child screamed.
Author's Note: Does this count as a cliffhanger?
