It happened the day before thanksgiving. Isabella was trying her hardest to make something somewhat appetizing for the two of us, but we didn't have a stove which made that hard. Ever she persisted, quite a few things had grown in from the garden a few weeks ago, and the things she hasn't reburied in the hopes of a really good Christmas she was using to make thanksgiving. I told her she didn't have to, but she was convinced that as the one of us that actually knew how to cook she could make it happen, and I believed in her. we had grown a good amount of of peas, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, string beans, and teeny tiny celeries. So at we're guessing around 9:30 that morning he showed up with a pop terrifying Isabella. She was already awake and making breakfast for today, and dinner for tomorrow. Loki popped in, yes you heard that right Loki of Jotunheim and Asgard has shown up in the middle of our little living room in the cave we were being held captive.
Upon seeing Isabella there, he said as chivalrous as Thor "why hello little miss"
In his thick accent.
She promptly froze and turned around, I only heard her shriek. I was in the middle of brushing my teeth when I heard it, and the clatter that followed.
"I'm sorry little miss, I swear I didn't mean to frighten you." he said trying to calm her down. Isabella may have been more resilient now, but anything could scare her these days. A God showing up out of nowhere in a cave that we had no way in or out of was no exception.
I walked in seeing him, which was nonsense in my mind.
"Reindeer games, how'd you get here."
Turning around he smiled, as if he was trying to get me to not kill him which is probably how I looked at this point.
"Ah Stark, how good it is to see you." I walked over silently to Isabella not saying another word to him. I whispered to her in a next to nothing tone to go to the bedroom, and she nodded heading there.
When she was going I simply looked at Loki for a few seconds before saying
"What the hell"
"It's good to see you as well man of iron."
He said cheekily
"The last time I saw you, you threw me out my window."
We walked around each other like we were two Jedi's about to duel.
"And we were in your tower, and you were seemingly about forty pounds heavier than now."
I smirked at him "are you complimenting my loosing weight, because if you are I'd offer you a drink if I had one and carefully inform you that I'm happy you noticed the change."
He shook his head "not at all, on the contrary you were already skinny then, how your far too underweight."
I walked over and poured myself a glass of the piss weak orange juice we had.
"Well your majesty, that's what happens
when someone holds you captive."
He looked solemn for a few moments
"I am not unaware stark."
Then it was quiet for a few peaceful seconds.
"And the girl?" He questioned
"Isabella, what about her." I asked in return.
"Why was she so scared when I showed up."
I rolled my eyes "we've been in this cave for three months with no one except each other for company, we don't know who took either of us or why. You tried to take over the world a few years ago, you see where this is leading."
"Is she thinking I'm the one who put you two down in this cave."
I shrugged "I'm not totally sure you haven't."
"Well I wasn't the one that trapped you and that girl down here."
"Good to know."
I cut up a few potatoes putting them in the pot where another few were boiling.
"Why are you here Loki?"
He walked around the living room
"My brother is getting worried, he enlisted the help of your other friends who enlisted me. they're all worried about you, and upon seeing you so am I."
I scoffed "why, most of you have tried to kill me. and once again, you threw me out a window. So why do you care."
He lifted up my shirt looking concerned at what he saw
"I can see a few of your bones, and your far too pale concerning how I last saw you."
I nodded "I told you Rudolph its the captivity thing, you should look at Isabella she's even worse off than I am. Tends to ruin your health."
He groaned in annoyance "I know you do not trust me stark, I wasn't expecting you to in the least. but I am concerned for you and the fawn you are trapped with. Because not only did you spare me, but you stopped me from doing something I would forever regret."
"What?, there's like fifty things in my head but I can't focus on one."
"Everyone is probably correct, but I was prepared to kill my brother, all your former friends, and the way I am the whole universe. but I didn't, instead you went through a portal to another dimension."
I choked on my drink. he patted my back in a comforting way when I started coughing my lungs out.
"What do you mean by that"
He sighed in an almost caring way
"Your worth all the stress. the girl as well from what I've seen."
I looked at him with a glimmer of hope in my eyes.
"Will you get us out."
He shook his head sorrowfully, making my heart sink to temperatures as cold as the cave.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. I barely had enough energy to get enough magic to allow myself to come this far, I won't have enough to bring more than myself out of here."
I patted his back
"It's alright, I just want to see the outside world again is all."
He nodded "I'll work as fast as I can to get you two out."
"You better"
Loki looked in the direction of where the bedroom was in the cave, which wasn't very far
"Will the miss want me to inform my brother and his companions of her."
I shrugged "ask her"
Then calling out "Cupcake, you can come out now. He isn't gonna maim you or anything."
Slowly like a chick emerging in the morning she timidly peeked her head out of the ledge and came out. She was so short, that her stature made her a petite little china doll.
I smiled at her gesturing to the out of this world man in the den
"This is Loki, he's not from anywhere important but he's not from here."
Her round eyes narrowed "didn't you try to take over the world or something."
The god in questioned did his best to look as harmless and friendly as he could for her sake. Would hate for him to scare bells off again.
"I know and he did. but he's okay now alright, he tries to do anything and I swear he's gone."
She nodded as timidly as the way she had walked in. From what she had told me, being social and welcoming and trusting weren't qualities she was the most specializing in.
I gestured to the god who put his hand out
"Hello, I'm Loki"
Looking at him in the eyes with a warm look in her brown round ones that could melt anyone to jelly. She took her small hand out as well, his engulfing hers as I could tell was going to happen often.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Loki, I'm Isabella Swan."
