A/N: I only own the OC.
Thank you for the reviews!
I opened my eyes and looked around... most of me hurt. I sat up and realized I was at Helga's. I didn't hear anything and found that odd. I was still in my torn and bloodied dress, but I could hear commotion outside. I went to the part that was the shop to look out the window when I saw people running past. I opened the door and peeked out to see fighting at the steps of the palace. I stepped out when I finally could and someone grabbed my arm; I instantly jerked it away. I looked up to see that it was a guard.
"You shouldn't be out here." he said and I shook my head.
"What's going on?" I asked him.
"Malekith is back. He's looking for you." he said and I felt a shiver go down my spine. Why was he looking for me? I got ready to say something when I felt something pull from inside of me that was leading me towards the palace. I looked towards it and it was like it sensed me near. I wasn't sure what was going on, but I felt weird and powerful at the same time. The guard got ready to say something when something exploded out of his chest. I was shocked and screamed at the sight, until I saw Malekith standing behind him. My scream died right then on my lips as he smirked at me.
"I see you are awake... good. I want what's mine." he said and I took a step back as he advanced on me. I had no weapons except the sword that was by another slain guard so I picked it up as I took another step backwards. I wasn't going to go without a fight. I held it in front of me and prayed that any of those times Fandral had showed me something would come back to my memory right now. Malekith wasn't alone though as he had two monsters on either side of him.
"Just leave." I said and he laughed at me.
"No, I accidentally gave something to you and I want it back." he said as my body felt like it wanted to go to him, but I didn't. He held his hand out and I couldn't stop my feet as they began to move towards him without my consent. He chuckled as my face turned from shocked, to confused, and finally terror when I realized that I couldn't stop him.
"You were sent back without a way to return." I said as I got closer to him and he chuckled.
"I was sent back, but there is more than one way to get to Asgard, foolish mortal." he said as I finally got into his grasp. He grabbed my arm and his other hand went to my leg where he had cut me. I felt a searing pain flow from deep inside of me to my leg. I screamed and he pulled me as close as he could get me. The pain was white hot and blinding as I felt my body growing weaker.
"Stop... please." I begged and he smirked at me.
"It will be over soon enough." he said and I groaned as his grip on my leg loosened. I had no idea what he was doing, but it felt as if my body was loosing it's life through his grip.
"Thank you, Parker, but know that no matter where you go now I will always be able to feel you. You won't have a place here anymore because I couldn't take something without leaving something in return." he said and I looked up at him with heavy, tear filled eyes. I managed to nod and he chuckled. I had no idea what he meant, but I was sure at the same time I really didn't want to know. I got ready to say something else when something hit him and I went crumpling to the ground. I looked back to see Thor, Loki, and Volstagg standing behind us. Malekith stood up as Thor's hammer came back to him.
"Malekith!" Thor roared and I tried to move away, but my body was in so much pain.
"Do not worry son of Odin... I am leaving. I got what I needed to get from her." he said as he pointed at me and they all looked surprised. Thor got ready to say something else, but in an instant Malekith just disappeared with his monsters. I tried to sit up, but I didn't have the energy. I wanted so badly to say something, anything, but I couldn't. I was so tired that I let it take over me as Loki came into my sight.
Hours Later...
I woke up and looked around to see that I was back in the room that I had been staying in. I felt weak and sore, but better at the same time. I groaned when I sat up and saw someone move to my side. I quickly looked over and was ready to fight if I had to, but thankfully it was only Fandral. I took a deep breath as he walked over to me, and sat down on the side of the bed.
"Are you alright?" he asked me.
"I... don't know." I finally said and he chuckled. I saw that he had a large bandage down from his chest to his arm, and I reached out to touch it. He looked at my hand and back at my face.
"Are you alright?" I asked him and he nodded.
"I got a scratch from the battle." he said so casually that it was like it was normal to him. I nodded and then looked at the state of my hands and arms. I had bruises everywhere. I went to pull my hand away, but he caught it as he kissed my fingertips. I felt something strange when he did, but I wasn't sure what it was.
"I was worried about you." he said and I nodded.
"I wasn't sure what was going on." I finally admitted and he chuckled.
"Let me tell them you are awake. We were all worried about you." he said and I nodded as I looked down at my bruised hands. I was studying them when the door opened and I heard familiar voices. I looked up to see Frigga, Helga, and Sif. I was thankful it was just the women. Fandral excused himself as they sat next to me on the bed.
"How do you feel?" Sif asked me and I went to say something, but I shut my mouth because honestly I wasn't really sure.
"Let me see your arm?" Helga asked me and I nodded. I held it out as the bruises almost seemed to form a shape. I looked at it closer as Helga began to waver her hand over mine. She did so for a second before gasping in shock. My eyes looked up at her with surprise as Frigga and Sif looked at her as well.
"Parker, I need you to try something... change my hair to blonde." Helga said and I looked at strangely as I though about the question, but as I was thinking about it her hair changed and we all gasped. I had no idea what was going on. I felt my leg pulse as I ripped the furs off the see that my leg was completely healed with only a scar where Malekith had hurt me.
"He marked her... she's was given some of his dark elf powers. He took some of her blood to make his stronger and gave her his powers in return since Elves cant make one sided deals." Helga said and I was shocked. I stumbled to the mirror in surprise. My ears were now slightly pointed, my hair was redder, and my body, while having numerous bruises, looked very toned. What the fuck had happened to me?
