"Princess, you have been requested in the throne room." A guard's booming voice woke her up. A guard, covered in full Asgardian armor, just walked right into her room. Asgardians are taught to respect privacy and knock. Not barge right into a royal woman's room.

"My God, do you guys know how to knock?! I was asleep!" The princess groaned in her bed, rubbing her face. She was still in Magni's coat. The scent of the coat made her feel slightly less annoyed. Slightly.

"My dearest apologizes princess, but the Allfather is requesting you there now. I am to escort you." Escort me? Sera thought, getting an extremely bad feeling. Seraphina analyzed the guard and did not recognize him. His light brown hair and dark blue eyes did make the princess feel uneasy. He could not be new to the palace because Odin does not work with the new guards. She noticed the nervousness in the guard's eyes and the annoying tapping of his hand. 'Oddly impatient?'

"Escort me? I have never been escorted before." She spoke cautiously, looking at him.

"It is the king's orders."

"Tell the king to fuck off."

"Princess, if you do not come then I am authorized to take you against your will." 'Against my will?' Seraphina thought, getting scared. She just wanted Thor. The idea of wanting her father disappeared.

"Don't you dare touch me." She spat.

"Will you come willingly?"He asked, trying his hardest to keep his cool.

"Who are you?" She asked him, raising her eyebrow. The guard began to panic and grab her, pulling her out of her bed. Seraphina let out a scream while tumbling. The man was much stronger than her and aggressively slammed her body while taking her through the halls. 'Where is everyone!?' She thought not spotting a single maid or guard through the halls.

"THOR!MAGNI! FRIGGA! HELP ME PLEASE! HELPP!" Her piercing screams echoed through the halls. Seraphina saw other men dressed in Asgardian armor running to her. The men grabbed her arms and legs pinning her down. "HELP! SOMEONE HELP!" But no one heard her.

"Tape her mouth and hold her down!" One of the men called out and the other men followed the orders. She heard the click of a switchblade, making her eyes widened. She needed to think and think fast. She tried to focus but it was broken when she felt the knife go into her skin. They weren't stabbing her, they were carving something on her. She bit down on her lip to help with the pain but it only caused her lips to bleed. 'Focus.' Seraphina tried to keep her mind focused, trying to contact someone. Loki tried to teach her this but there was too much stress in Sera's mind that it did not work. She felt herself starting to lose consciousness. She knew that she would not be able to use magic. Her eyes grew heavy, only letting her get out one last scream before everything went dark.

Thor walked through the halls, feeling guilty about lying to Seraphina. He felt like he failed her, he wanted her to forgive him. Thor walked through the odd and empty hall, getting a bad feeling. He turned his head to see Seraphina's wide-open door. Thor walked inside and saw her bed sheet half on the bed and half on the floor as if she rolled out of it. Furniture was knocked down and the mirror was shattered.

"Sera?" Thor called out, fearing where his niece could be. He gripped his hammer tighter as he walked around the room. A sudden sharp and loud scream was heard through the halls, the scream was Sera's. "SERA!" Thor yelled bolting to the noise. He ran through the hall, spotting her unconscious body on the floor. A pool of blood surrounding her body. Thor felt tears in his eyes and he dropped down next to her. He saw the carving on her stomach reading 'Just Like Her Mother.'

"Where is she?!" Loki stormed into the room but was quickly held back by Thor. Thor's and Frigga's eyes were red and puffy due to crying. Odin stood there, looking down at his feet. Loki was the last to get the news about the incident. Thor did not inform Magni of the news, knowing how destroyed he be. So Thor decided that he will tell Magni after.

"Brother, please-"

"What has happened to her? Thor, tell me!" Loki yelled. Before the second prince arrived, he was getting things done and thinking about how he could make it up to Seraphina. Then a servant came rushing in, telling him that his daughter was sent to the healers due to an incident. You could just imagine the thoughts a father would think.

"I...I heard her scream...Then I found her on the floor, in a pool of her own blood." Thor's manly voice cracked, not able to look into his brother's eyes.

"Is she...Is she going to make it?"

"Yes, she will be okay," Thor answered. Loki gave a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall. "Brother, there is something I must tell you. It is about when I found Seraphina." Thor started, making Loki nod his had cautiously. "The men who had done this carved something on her stomach. Th-They carved it with a knife. It said 'Just like your mother.'

Seraphina opened her eyes, groaning at the bright light. 'Where am I?' She thought to herself, trying to blink. She felt incredibly weak and strained as if a doctor took too much blood. "Sera?" She heard Thor's voice speak. She tried to lift her hand to signal an answer, but it dropped after a tiny rise."Sera, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you." She responded after a minute. The princess' voice cracked and sounded dry. "T-Thor, where a-am I?"

"You are with the healers."

"Thor, I was really mad at you before...I...you lied to me and I trusted you." She said and Thor sighed, holding her hand. She felt guilty thinking that if she died Thor would think she hated him.

"I wanted to tell you Seraphina but I did not want you to turn out like him. My father ordered against it so you could be safer." Thor answered, feeling an enormous amount of guilt. "Sera, do you have the place in your heart to forgive me? You still are my favorite niece."

"Aren't I your only niece?"

"Actually, you are not."

"Hmm."

"Do you remember who did this to you?"

"Wh-What did they do to me, Thor?" She asked, fear in her voice. Thor cupped her cheek with his hand and used his thumb to wipe her tear away. "They were carving something on me.."

"What did they look like?"

"I only remember one, I did not get a clear view of the other men."

"How many men in total?"

"Uhmm.. six." She said, trying to lift herself up a little. "But only one man took me from my room...He's the only one I remember."

"What does he look like?"

"He was tall but shorter than you, maybe 5'8. He had light brown hair and it was short. He did not have any facial hair and his eyes were dark blue. He was buff, I think ...He had so much Asgardian armor on that it was hard to tell." The princess spoke, trying to recall everything. Loki walked in, seeing her awake. Once she looked up and saw who it was, her face twisted. "I..his voice was deep but he sounded very nervous when he talked. He was oddly impatient and tried to hurry me."

"Sera, it is okay if you do not remember everything. We know they are guards-"

"No, I did not recognize him. He couldn't have been a guard, or a new guard starting today. I am confident about this." She said and Thor nodded.

"Seraphina, my love, how are you feeling?" Loki asked quickly

"Like shit." She answered, "Do you two know what they carved on me?" Thor looked at Loki who was trying to ignore the question. "I'm going to find out so might as well tell me."

"These men had written 'Just like her mother.'" Thor spoke, while Loki kept his head down.

"My mother? But I don't even remember her.."

"Do not fret, we will find them," Thor spoke

"And when we do I will torture them and make them wish for death!" Loki snarled, getting up and leaving.

"I'm sorry for your father's behavior, he cares a lot about you," Thor said, making her feel off. It felt weird for Thor to say her father. She felt so different but it was a familiar feeling...It did not make sense.

"He is not my father."

Seraphina sat on the bed, her eyes feeling heavy. Frigga spent the afternoon with her, and it was relaxing. They talked, they ate and they even joked around. Frigga is the grandmother and female figure that Seraphina needed badly. Although Seraphina always saw Natasha like a female figure, she started seeing Frigga as one as well. Once Frigga left, Seraphina called the Avengers. She told them what was going on and that she is okay. Of course, they all were furious and upset, but Seraphina knew they couldn't do anything. They talked for a while and they joked. Once Tony noticed her getting tired, he decided to call it a night. Loki listened lightly to their conversation, knowing they talked about silly Midgardian things. The prince felt a pang of guilt in his stomach for treating his daughter the way he did, he should've been here the whole day. "I...I have come to apologize to you. " Loki stuttered, looking into his little girl's eyes. She looked so fragile. Seraphina jumped, she didn't even hear him walk in.

"For what?" She asked

"I had stormed out earlier, I was angry." He spoke, sitting by the bed. Seraphina nodded, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "How are you feeling?" He questioned, noticing how tired she looked.

"I'm alright... He took me out of my own room." She said. She saw Loki clench his jaw in anger and he sighed. I should have been stronger. She thought to herself.

"I should have heard you scream. I should have gotten a feeling...I should have known-"

"Loki-"

"Do not, Seraphina. It is my fault."

"And how would you know that it was going to happen? Did you know they were going to harm me? Everything else is your fault not this. " She said. She felt full of anger, so unlike herself. She began to think that this will be how she will feel forever. "Will Odin send you back?"

"I do not know. Whatever his choice may be, I will always look after you. I will make sure those men will rue the day they harmed you. When you have more strength I will help heal your wounds, I do not want you to be too weak." He saw her eyes grow heavier and she tried so hard to keep them open.

"You don't have to-"

"Nonsense, you should sleep."

"Will you be here when I wake up?"

"Do you wish me to be?"

"No"

Hey this is me from 2020 I am changing the story a bit because of the ideas I have now. I am sorry that it probably will never go how I intended it to be years ago. I do want to thank you guys for asking me to finish this and reminded me of this. I wrote this story in a bad place in my life and now I am finishing it in a better place. I am not 100% but I am getting there and it was nice seeing what I had created then and what i possibly will create now.

A good bit of me wanted to delete this story and start over. I read some chapters with cringe but I realized that you guys wanted this story and I want to give you guys that. You deserve it especially with staying with me for so long. I truly am grateful that you all cared enough to see that I finish this. I might actually write a love story for LOKI who knows. I am unsure where I am going with this story it was been so long but I will try my best. I love you guys.
