Ok so there is murder in this chapter you have been warned! I want to thank Shadow Realm Triforce for all the reviews! :D

It was getting late. Rai had played the piano for most of the night with people stopping by and complementing her here and there. Thor kept trying to get her attention or talk to her but girls kept swarming him and he didn't get a chance to. Loki and Angrboda seemed to be having a wonderful time but Rai didn't mind. She knew it was just him getting her comfortable for her imminent demise later tonight.

Finally, when the guests had left and the maids were cleaning up, King Odin and Frigga dismissed themselves as the party died out. 'Well this is it…' Rai thought as she looked over to Loki. He was kissing Angrboda. She was happily giggling and hugged him. This made Rai furious but she chose not to show it. She kept reminding herself that she was just a guard, a maid, a poor girl. Loki was the prince. He was able to do whatever he wanted. Though the night they shared would not be forgotten, she decided to just ignore them. Rai walked right past them and made sure Loki saw her. That was her signal for Loki to take Angrboda out to the gardens. Loki did in fact see Rai and he stopped kissing Angrboda. As he saw Rai head to her chambers, he asked Angrboda to accompany him out. She happily agreed and followed.

The night was cold, dark and quiet. The only thing Loki could hear were crickets singing and Angrboda's footsteps beside him. Loki came across a white rose-bush and stopped. They were well inside the vast palace gardens and he figured this was far enough, that no one would hear or see anything. Angrboda looked at him a little confused and said, "Loki I didn't take you for the romantic type. This is a nice surprise." She got closer to him and he backed away a bit. "Yes well…I'm full of surprises my dear…" Loki's eyes darkened and Angrboda became a bit suspicious. "Loki why have you brought me here?" she asked him with slight worry in her tone.

"To ask you to leave and never return Angrboda." Rai appeared from one of the neighboring trees and replied before Loki could say anything. She was wearing her usual training outfit of Leather boots, leggings, and a simple plated, armored top. Angrboda glared at her. "How dare you try to come between my prince and me!" Angrboda looked over at Loki but he was no longer next to her.

"Prince Loki is not your property Angrboda. He does not wish to marry you. Leave now or you will be dealt with." Rai was growing impatient. If she was going to kill Angrboda she needed to do it quickly so she would have time to get rid of the body.

"Excuse me? You are nothing but a guard and a maid. Don't tell me you actually think YOU will 'deal' with me? Don't make me laugh!" she was walking closer to Rai menacingly, but Rai held her ground.

"You are a threat to the prince. As his personal guard it is my duty to dispose of trash like you." Angrboda was now inches away from Rai. Her glare dripping with venom. "I will ask you once more," Rai held a strong, warning tone, "Will you leave the prince forever, or risk dying at my hands?" Angrboda scoffed and quickly took hold of Rai's neck squeezing it. Rai did not look away nor did she stop glaring at Angrboda. She would not show fear.

"Loki WILL marry me! I have bore him three children! He cannot and will not abandon me! Once we are married I will dispose of Thor and become Queen of Asgard when Odin sleeps!" she hissed. "You will not get in the way of my plans! Loki's personal guard or not you will NOT destroy what I have carefully planned for so long!" She started to squeeze Rai's neck harder now. "Let me guess…you are perhaps in love with the prince? Ha! What makes you think he would ever look at you? Just so you know, if he had ever lain with you he was always thinking of me! I have my ways of controlling him and you will not stop me. Loki is mine. Any hope you thought you had being at his side is ridiculous. If Loki ever looked at you with longing it was simply infatuation my dear, nothing more. You will just be his WHORE and I his WIFE!" She was burning with rage but Rai gave her a bored uncaring stare.

"You don't scare me witch." It was Rai's words that dripped venom now. Angrboda pushed Rai away fiercely and said, "Well then, how about I get rid of you?" She pulled out a small dagger and lunged herself at Rai. Rai quickly grabbed her arm and twisted it behind Angrboda's back, causing her to squeal in pain. She held onto Angrboda tightly, and took her dagger.

"You are so very pathetic Angrboda…really I thought you had more fight in you…" Rai whispered in her ear. Before Angrboda could reply, Rai had slit her throat with her very dagger. Angrboda let out some gurgling sounds of drowning in her own blood. The way Rai had slit her throat caused blood to squirt all over Rai's training outfit and on the white roses. Loki was now standing beside her in shock. Never did he think Rai was capable of doing such a thing. He knew she was no stranger to death. Rai had accompanied him and Thor to battle and had seen many people die however; he never thought she would kill so willingly. It was a darker side Loki had never seen before. It somehow…pleased him.

"Loki help me carry the body out to the back." She said in a hushed tone as she grabbed a nearby bucket filled with water. She proceeded to wash the blood off herself and the roses. Loki took hold of Angrboda's body and carried her bridal style. Rai told him to carry her so she wouldn't leave a trail of blood if they would have just dragged her. They took her to the furthest corner of the palace gardens. There, Rai had created an opening so they could easily escape unnoticed. Once outside, she quickly patched up the opening and told Loki to head towards the lake. Upon reaching it, Loki dropped Angrboda's body with a loud 'Thud.'

"SHH!" Rai hissed at him and proceeded to place dried twigs and branches around Angrboda's body. She then started to light the dried foliage and set Angrboda's body aflame. The smell was horrid, yet brought back memories that Rai wished to forget.

"This is just like before…" she said quietly staring at Angrboda's body turning black like charcoal. Loki looked over at her. Rai's face held a dark, hard stare. The light of the fire made her honey brown eyes seem so innocent, so delicate. But her stare showed her darker side. She didn't flinch when she had killed her he noticed. She didn't think twice about it or hesitate at all. Before, Rai would have cried at the thought of killing. For the longest time, she couldn't get over the fire that devoured her mother and sisters. She had always blamed herself for that day. For their deaths. He knew it was an accident. She knew it as well, but this time she had willingly taken a life. She was burning the body, she was well aware of what she was doing.

"Looks like I'll have to keep another secret for you." Loki whispered as the fire started to die out. She didn't look at him but replied, "No Loki. I shall tell the All-Father I have killed Angrboda." He looked at her in shock. "You cannot! Father will have you executed!" she looked over at him and held a serious face. "He won't. I will tell him she attacked me and I had to defend myself. Isn't that what happened?" He thought about it for a second. Technically that is what happened.

"I shall be with you." he placed his hand on her shoulder and she looked back at the body. All that was left were her ashes and a few of her bones in the dead fire. "This is eerily familiar." She whispered. Loki nodded but said nothing. "Let's get this cleaned up and go to bed. Are the children asleep?" she started put on some leather gloves and grabbed a bag she kept at her side. As she was picking up the remains, Loki replied, "Yes they are sound asleep in my chambers." Rai stood up, placed a large rock inside the bag, tied it tightly and chucked the bag into the lake.

"Good. Tomorrow they will know I was their mother's killer. I will take full responsibility for anything the All-Father may do and for the children." She looked at Loki with a stern face. "Loki, do not abandon them…they will need you now more than ever…"

"I know…" he whispered as they started to make their way back to the palace.

I'll try to add more fluff in he following chapters but we will see how Rai fairs with Loki's children and what kind of father will Loki be?
