A week has passed and no incidents from Sera. The princess sometimes wished she had them so she could go back home. Or Midgard, whatever you want to call it. If they would even allow her to go back. The snow began to fall occasionally, but that didn't stop Sif from training Sera until she couldn't feel anymore. Loki hated seeing her walking with those sores and aches. When he tried to consult Sif about it, they just spent an hour arguing and threatening each other.
"Are you ready?" Loki asked as they stood outside. It was chilly but Sera always wore long sleeves anyway. Today she happily wore pants, instead of the dresses she began to hate. Loki was in a horrible mood, unlike the princess who was humming some Midgardian song. But he couldn't get angry around Sera. He never allowed himself.
"I personally think that we should just start decorating for Christmas." She said, trying to ignore training. She usually did that, but it never bothered Loki. He liked it when she just talked to him instead of shooting random ices at him.
"What is this Christmas you keep talking about?" Loki questioned. In the week he learned very little about her. She is so reserved, but yet has such a big character. He noticed similarities between them though. How they both get so impatient with themselves, how they both can be so quiet, and the same sad look in their eyes. She didn't notice any of this of course.
"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" She gave a light sang and a huge smile. Possibly the first time Loki has ever seen her smile that big. "Sorry, sometimes I forget that you have no idea what I'm talking about." She shrugged. Loki had to admit he loved the happy version of her. Where she joked constantly and laughed loudly.
"It is perfectly fine." He smiled at her, waiting for her to continue.
"Christmas is a season of giving. You get a tree and put it in your house, usually the living room or biggest area you have. You tell stories about Santa and Reindeers...You guys don't celebrate Christmas here?"
"No, we do not." He said and her face lost the extra happy touch to it.
"Oh."
"But I think that a new tradition is worth it." He said, smiling at her. She gave a smile back. 'For you, it is worth it.'
"You know, for a guy who was in prison, you're not that bad." She smiled, making him chuckle.
"Thank you, I try." He joked back. "Now back to training, do not think you are getting off that easy."
"Ugh, can't we just like talking about stuff today. I don't know anything about my amazing mentor." She tried to butter him up. He didn't detect a lie when she said amazing, and he had a feeling she has positive feelings about him. At least he hopes she does.
"You need to get your powers under control."
"Well, you and I both know that we need the day off."
"I am perfectly fine. I do not mind training you at all."
"Seriously? I don't ever get on your nerves?"
"No, not at all. You are one of my favorite people here."
"Awh, that's actually the nicest thing you've ever said to me." He noticed the playfulness in her voice and smiled. She was quite a character to him. "Are you and Thor close?"
"Yes, we are actually. He is the closest person I have."
"It must be nice to have someone."
"You do not have? You are a likable person, why do you not make friends?"
"I don't know, it's hard when you really can't relate to anyone. Gus has asked me to come and hang out with his friends tomorrow at noon. He really wants me to come for some odd reason but I just..I don't know."
"You should go, it will be good for you. Do you not want friends?" He asked her
"I don't know...No one really understands and once you meet someone who does it's like they will hurt you or you can't even-"
"Trust them?" He finished her sentence.
"Exactly. " She said, making him smile. "I begin to notice that you and I are more alike than I thought. Well besides the whole prison thing."
"Hmm...I guess we are." He smiled, ignoring her comment about prison.
"How come you rarely ever stick around?"
"What do you mean?"
"When breakfast comes, you eat little and then you go off to God knows where. And you aren't seen for like the whole day until we train."
"I have things to take care of.." He lied.
"Hmm..something tells me that you're lying." She smiled at him, "You don't need to lie to me. I kept your secret before-"
"What secret?"
"I wasn't supposed to know that you were in prison, but I do know. And I think you can get in serious trouble if I just accidentally slipped that information to Thor or Frigga or Odin." She said, smiling mischievously. If there was a time to judge if she was his daughter, now would've been a perfect time.
"You are a sneaky one." He joked. He remembers all the childish sneaky games she use to play as a child. It broke his heart seeing her all grown into a teenager and never experiencing the full years. He has had children before but she was different.
"You should hang out more."
"Uh, hang out with whom?" He asked, trying to use the Midgardian slang. This only made her laugh at him but he did not care.
"With me, Thor, help me get away from Sif when she tries to train me. I don't think she likes me very much. But then again, trying to kill me when we train could actually be her showing she really does love me." She said, making Loki chuckle.
"Sounds like Sif to me."
"I have a feeling you and me are going to get close." She said
"Do you mind that?"
"Of course not."
"Good, now tomorrow at noon you will be going and getting some friends. That is an order." Of course, Loki didn't like Gus, but he needed to use him. Gus could lead to more friends and a better temporary situation for Sera. Of course, he wished Hal to protect her from any emotional damage and Magni to protect her from any physical damage. 'If only.'
"Ugh yes, you annoying little-"
"Sera, I am not a little anything. In fact, I am much taller than you. So do you prefer to call yourself an elf or do you prefer a dwarf?"
"You know for a guy who just got out of prison, you're really mean." She joked and he laughed, going into conversation about something else.
The next day Sera got up extra early to get ready for today. She needed extra time to actually trying to look nice today because she is seeing Gus. She wanted Magni to tag along, but he is training today. She would ask Hal but he is working with his father. He was so happy about it, so she couldn't ask him. If she asked he would drop everything and go. She didn't want that. Her hair fell naturally and her skin looked better today. She looked gorgeous, not the old tired hag she was becoming. She pulled on a pair of boots, and headed out the room for breakfast.
She walked in, seeing only Loki there, eating his breakfast and reading. "Someone is up early." He spoke, not looking up. She gave a big smile and sat across from him.
"Well, you did tell me to try to make some friends. I thought I had to look somewhat decent."
"You do not have to look extra good for that Gustavo boy." He said. Sera opened her mouth to say something defensive but he cut in. "Any man worthy of your heart should think that you are beautiful every single moment of every single day. If he does not, you can do without him."
"You don't have to be worried, Gus is a great guy. We grew up together, he would never hurt me." Loki felt an instant bang in his heart for her not knowing how much Gus has lied to her. He knew telling her now will only make her hate him. She would obviously believe her long time friend than a person she met about a month ago.
"I am just saying, men are men. Please, be careful and do not do anything you shall regret."
"I won't." She said, taking a bite out of her food. "Thank you, Loki."
"For what?" He asked, slightly confused.
"I don't know, you always been caring about me. Even when you creeped me out in prison..You never told me how you knew that song.."
"Yes, I did. I asked you who do you think sang it to you. I was implying that I was the one who taught it to you."
"I guess we were really close." She said, more to herself than him.
"You have no idea." He replied in a sad tone, but fixing himself up.
"I'm sorry that I left."
"Do not be sorry for something that was not your fault." He said, "Are you done eating?"
"Yeah, anything over one or two bites gets me sick. I guess I'll see you later." She got up, beaming with excitement. Loki sighed as she left, wishing she could only see.
"Hello, Princess of Asgard." Gus smiled at her. Her heart skipped a beat when seeing him.
"Shut up, and stop calling me that. Princess or not, I still can kick your ass."
"Believe what you will, Serphi." He smiled, holding his hand out for her. She gladly took it, truly feeling like a princess with him. "We will be meeting everyone in a bit."
"This will be fun, right?" She asked and he faked a gasp.
"I cannot believe my ears. The great Seraphina, scared of making friends? Has Asgard changed you, where is the fearless 'I don't give a fuck' girl I knew?"
"Well, she has kinda been hiding out ever since she realized she has to socialize with aliens."
"You're an alien too, in case you forgot."
"I always forget." She said and sighed, squeezing his hand. He gave a squeeze back and smiled.
"I miss you." He said and she blushed.
"I missed you too, Gus."
"WOAH WOAH WOAH GUS!" She heard a boy scream. "You cannot just claim the princess! The princess claims us. Now step aside." A young dirty blonde haired teenager playfully pushed Gus and took Sera's hand. He kissed it, giving her a goofy smile. "My beautiful princess, I am Cal Polson." Sera gave a giggle at the funny boy, which only boosted his ego.
"Nice to meet you, Cal."
"HA! She said nice to meet you! She probably does not wish to want to meet any of you guys!" He joked, making her smile even more. Now he was a funny character.
"You're funny." She said to him.
"Thank you, princess, more jokes are on the way." He boasted.
"Do not mind him. I'm surprised you two have not met, he's Magni's best friend." A light brown-haired boy butted in. "I'm Asger and this is my brother, Asmund." pointing to the boy next to him. They looked practically identical. Asger had green eyes while Asmund had blue, which was basically the only difference.
"Nice to meet you both." She smiled at the boys, turning her head to Cal. "You and Magni are close?"
"Yeah, since toddler ages. We grew up together." He said. Sera has to admit that all the boys there were highly attractive. 'It has to be an alien thing.' She thought, walking with them. They started to walk together, talking and joking a bit. Cal joked the most, of course. 'For aliens, it's actually going well.' She thought, so use to Midgardian movies about Extraterrestrial life. "Gus, please tell me you didn't invite Asta," Cal questioned.
"Why would I not?" Gus answered, making The boys groan. "She is a nice girl."
"No, you only bring her along because she is the only female to ever want you." Asger said, completely annoyed and angry.
"Who's Asta?" Sera asked them.
"The most annoying thing on all of Asgard. She thinks every boy wants her and all she does is try to get boys. She is a little-"
"Asmund, watch your language around the Princess." Cal cut in, making Sera smile. "Asta is not the type of girl you want to meet."
"Then, Gus, why did you invite her?" Sera asked, crossing her arms.
"Because you need a friend and she is a good friend."
"She tried chopping of Eira's hair when people thought it looked prettier than hers. She is going to hate Sera." Asmund said, smiling at the princess.
"I agree with Asmund. Serphi over here is too good. We should get her out before our ears bleed because of her annoying voice. Don't you agree?" Cal said.
"Hello, boys!" A feminine voice called out.
"For Odin's sake, it is too late," Cal mumbled and turned around. Asta was a tall, blonde, skinny, and curvy girl. Her hair was pin-straight and it looked naturally like that. Her eyes were an ugly blue but fit her sun-kissed skin. Sera hated her once she saw her, feeling jealousy instantly.
"Hello, Gus." Asta winked at him, ignoring the Princess. "Asger, Asmund, and oh look it's Cal." Annoyance dripping from her voice when she said Cal.
"Wow, Asta, you have gotten even more hideous by the days. " Cal fake gasped. Sera bit the inside of her cheek trying hard not to laugh at the situation.
"Oh Cal, at least I get some lovers. Last I recall, you are still the lone friend of Magni."
"Last I recall, you were crying because Magni wanted nothing to do with prostitutes like you." Cal smiled at her and then turned to Sera, "We are classy men."
"You boys know that I am the best woman you laid eyes on," Asta said, looking at Gus. It was like she was undressing him with her eyes. And the worst part was, Gus liked it. "Who are you?" Asta questioned her in a rude tone.
"Watch the way you speak to the Princess of Asgard, prostitute. You would not wish for your tongue cut off...Even though we all would appreciate it." Cal said with a big smile on his face to the thought.
"Ah, you're the lost princess. I thought you to be taller. "
"Cal, you were right about her," Sera called out, making Magni's best friend laugh obnoxiously.
"Is that your natural hair? The color is awful." Asta asked picking a strand up, staring at it like it was diseased. "I thought that the famously lost princess was supposed to be a beauty. Not a beast." A group of girls laughed in the back.
"Oh in the name of bloody Asgard, IT brought her friends too." Cal hissed. "Okay, we are leaving." Asta rolled her eyes and grabbed Gus.
"Come on, Gus, let's go." She said walking
"Uhm Gus, where do you think you're going?" Sera stepped in.
"This is not going to end well. " Asger and Asmund mumbled at the same time.
"Listen, Princess" Asta mocked " He is going with a real woman."
"I don't see how a girl who tries to get with everything that has a penis is a real woman." Sera shot back
"Oh, you better watch yourself. You may be the Princess but that doesn't mean-"
"Doesn't mean what? Watch yourself there, threatening a royal will not be good on you or your family." Seraphina tried to speak in her higher tone. But Asta rolled her eyes.
"Oh please, your mother couldn't even love you. But then again, with that kind of face...Who would?" Asta said "Everyone in Asgard knows about how your family hated you so much. They even left you! Tell me, princess, how come your daddy is not here yet? Want to know why? It's because he does not wish to see the pathetic thing that ruined his life." The blonde laughed and mocked, making Sera feel as if she just got shot. She felt a sharp pain in her head and the temperature instantly dropped. Tear's brink in her eyes but the princess held them back. In the corner of her eye, she spotted Gus stiffen a laugh. 'He planned this, didn't he?' her heart started to break. Sera walked up to Asta and punched her. It was the strongest punch Sera has ever thrown, knocking Asta to the ground. Blood oozing out of the blonde's nose and bruising all over her perfect face. The princess quickly walked away, going back to the palace. She felt like her head was going to explode, she felt like letting the rage out. She felt like she was going to have an incident. And she didn't want it. Not anymore.
She ran into her room, slamming the door shut behind her. "Oh God, please no." She cried out in pain. She tried to push the pain back but she failed.
Her powers took over her.
'Mommy! Mommy! Why must you hate me so!?' Sera screamed but her mother just slapped her and slammed the child against the furniture
'Mother, today we are having a mother- daughter at-"
'Get out you annoying child.'
'Please Mommy-'
'STOP CALLING ME THAT!' Her mother yelled
'You are a no good. The definition of waste!'
'You are my biggest mistake. A mistake I will one day fix.'
'When will someone take you away!?'
'JUST DIE!'
'I will never love you!'
"Princess!? Princess Sera!?" Cal yelled throughout the castle, "Magni!?" He yelled, fear all over him. Him and Magni will take care of Gus later, but nothing will change the damage Asta caused. "Please Seraphina! Where are you!?" He yelled out. It was incredibly chilly throughout the castle and ice was falling from the sky. "Allfather! Queen Frigga! Prince Thor!"
"You better give a good excuse to why it is that are you yelling. Or I will make sure you could never be able to yell again." Loki's annoyed voice spoke. Loki wanted to think in peace , do anything without anyone bothering him. But of course not. Someone must always try to bother him.
"Your Highness! Oh finally! Please you must help me!" Cal called. Loki remembered who the boy was. He was Magni's close friend. But his behavior was different. He remembers Cal to always had a funny tone, he rarely ever saw him serious. He mainly saw him serious when the young boy was training. "You must help me find the princess."
"Why? What has happened?"
"Se-Sera.." He stuttered "She is not well! Her powers- Heavy ice is falling from the sky! Asta, she triggered-Please-"
"Where is she?"
"I-I do not kn-"
"AHHH!" They heard a piecing female shriek coming from Seraphina's bedroom.
"This is not going to be good. You go fetch the queen, understand?" Cal nodded and ran, following the order. Loki felt his chest tighten, as he came closer to the screams. Nothing prepared him for what he found behind those doors.
OKAY HEY GUYS! #Sorrynotsorry for that cliff hanger. Well I got a chapter in! I hope you like it! And things have been going alright. Doctors don't know what it is but there are more cases like mine out there. So I guess I'm not alone here. Well I been feeling better lately. And I thank you guys so much. And I love you guys a lot. Thank you for reading and commenting. It literally makes my day like no joke. I get so happy when you guys do that.
So I have an idea. I wanna work on two stories. Like idk I don't like doing one story at a time. So tell me what ideas you prefer. The iron man daughter one (btw I been thinking of the name Scarlett for her), a typical loki falls for slave story, or (okay this one I really like but I'm not spoiling it) there this princess and her kingdom like something happens so she goes in hiding in Asgard as a slave. And there is tons of Loki love. I really like the last one and I like the first one. So tell me what you guys want. Maybe later on I'll work on three at a time but rn I wanna work on two.
So read, review, give me opinions. I always read and take note of them. I love you guys! Thankyou!
