A.N. Hey guys! Thank you all so much for your support I'm so thankful for your kind reviews. Here's a new chapter before I get ready for my homecoming and then Halloween.

"I have to go" I bolted passed him and started walking to the door

"Kida wait"

I ignored his calls and walked back to my horse, I got on and rode back to the palace. The sun was already down the stars started to shine. When I made it there I walked down the halls to my room. There I saw Thor walk out of my room,

"Where have you been?" He asked "I said return by sunset"

"I know I'm sorry, I lost track of time" I said "but don't worry I'll get ready fast and while I'm there I want to talk to Odin about visiting my parents."

"Kida that's what we have to talk about." He put his large hand on my shoulder. "Something has happened"

"What?" I felt my heart skip when I saw the grim expression on his face.

"Heimdal the gatekeeper saw your house in Malibu, it was hit by some weapon. The house was completely destroyed by an explosion and fell into the water." My heart dropped and I felt like everything stopped. "I'm sorry Kida, your home is gone and Heimdal said your father is in serious danger."

"If he's in danger you have to let me help him." I insisted. "I know Frigga planned this party for a long time but can't you postpone it?"

"Postpone?" He didn't understand

"Can't she just have the party in three days?" I asked "I need time to go down to Midgard help my dad and I'll be back as soon as possible."

"All the time you need is to get ready for the party tonight. The All-Father has ordered Heimdal to not let you pass the bridge." He said his voice becoming more serious. "And I agree with him, you're not fit for battle."

"Not fit?" I asked "I've been training for two years and you gave me armor and weapons."

"We will not let you fight your father's battles."

"Why?" I asked feeling more furious with every heart beat "Sif went into battle long before she was my age."

"Sif is different"

"How?!" I yelled

"You wouldn't understand" He turned around to walk away and I followed him.

"Try me Thor" I said sharply "You let me train and fight yet you, Odin, and Frigga can't stand the thought of me leaving the palace or going into battle. What is it that makes the three of you so worried over nothing? Tell me!"

"We can't lose you again!" Thor turned around suddenly and gripped my shoulders tightly, when he calmed down he loosened his grip and lowered his head. "That night, was a living nightmare for all of us, I remember staying awake every night with Loki looking for you in the woods. My mother having to comfort me when I feared you were hurt. And the nightmares were I relived that night for centuries. You are like the sister I never had Kida, and I promised Odin to protect you and I couldn't."

"Thor" I grabbed his hands and held them "We are not children anymore, we can fight the battles we choose. And I choose to fight alongside my dad where I belong."

"I hope you understand" In one quick swoop he grabbed me around the waist and started dragging me to my room.

"Thor you fucking bastard let me go!" I screamed "LET ME GO!"

"I can't let you die because of your father's quarrels." He kicked my door open and threw me into the room. "You will stay here while the palace prepares for the party, start getting ready."

"Fuck you" I hissed through my teeth like an angered snake. "If you were my friend you would help me."

"I'm helping you stay alive."

And with that he closed the doors and locked them, I grabbed the empty vase and threw it against the wall to let out the burning rage in the pit of my stomach. I must look like a child throwing a temper tantrum. But my toy wasn't taken away and I didn't throw a hissy fit when I didn't want to eat my vegetables. My father was in danger and I needed to help him, and they lock me up in a palace.

"Don't you have a party to go to?" I jumped and looked up to see Loki walk out of the shadows.

"How did you get out of your cell?" I asked

"I'm still in my cell, this is an illusion." He said "What happened?"

"My dad…" I took a deep breathe calming myself down. "he's in trouble"

"And you want to help him?" He sat casually on my couch making the flower vase levitate above the table.

"Of course I do he's my dad, I would give anything to see him." This apparently caught his attention, he put the vase down and stood up.

"Kida, would you be happy if someone were to take you to Midgard?"

"Absolutely" I said as I leaned against the column "but Thor said I'm not allowed to go, Heimdal won't let me pass."

"I know many pathways in and out of Asgard, I could help you go to Midgard without being spotted by Heimdal." He walked closer to me. "All you have to do is get me out of my cell."

"Are you crazy?" I hissed "I can't help you escape"

"I'll be by your side the whole time."

"Do you swear on my life to return to your cell when we return and to never tell anyone of this plan?"

"I swear"

I felt absolutely uncomfortable with this plan, I was practically selling my soul to the devil. But my father was in danger and I had to help him. I was there for him when Ivan and Hammer attacked us and I'll be there when this knew enemy attacks. I pushed the screaming voice in my head to cancel the deal and try to escape to the back of my mind until it was a faint whisper.

"Deal"

He smiled before disappearing in a flash of green light, as I walked to my cloak I heard the locks click. I stopped, thinking Thor or Odin was going to walk in but no one did. I walked to the door and sneaked out of the palace. I was extremely careful to avoid the guards and any servants. I sneaked into the stables and rode Gunnar out of the gate. The gate was open letting the river of guests flow into it. I rode to the prison, knocking the guards unconscious, and grabbed the keys. I ran down the stairs and unlocked the door were Loki was waiting in his armor.

"Get up" I unlocked the door and walked inside "we're leaving now"

"Oh fun" He quickly got up and started walking to the door. "let's go"

"There's one more thing" A gold whip wrapped around his ankle and knocked him to the ground before I slammed my foot onto his chest. "If you dare try to hurt my family I will not hesitate to kill you."

"Oh Kida did you forget I'm the one who taught you your tricks." He laughed a little, I suddenly felt his hand slide up my leg and pulled me off my balance. I fell next to him and he rolled over to be on top of me. "I expected you to be more balanced,"

"I expected you to be less annoying" I said propping myself up on my elbows. He smiled and looked at my lips then back to my eyes. "We should go"

I pushed myself up and he followed me, he tossed the guards into his cell so they wouldn't run off to tell Odin. We got onto my horse with Loki sitting behind me.

"Hang onto my waist" I said and felt his hand go down my backside, I jumped as he laughed. "I said my waist Loki"

"Fine"

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I followed his directions into the forest to a small cave.

"What is this Loki?" I asked while he jumped off

"This cave is one of the many hidden passageways I've found that goes in and out of Asgard." He lit a large branch of fire to give us some light. "Come on"

I jumped off and tied Gunnar to a low tree branch, his head shook and he tried stepping back but I pulled him close.

"I don't like the looks of this" Gunnar said

"I don't like it either but trust me, I'll be fine" I replied

"I better get a bag of apples when we get back." I smiled before walking into the cave with Loki in uncomfortable silence.

"How did you find this cave?" I asked breaking the silence

"After you were taken, I used to explore these woods for days looking for these hidden passageways out of Asgard to try and find you." He said

"Frigga told me you took the kidnapping pretty hard." I said "I was surprised that you looked so hard for me."

"Of course I did" He stopped in his tracks making me stop to stay close to the light. "You were my best friend Kida, and without you…I thought I couldn't survive. And when I finally did find you, you were so happy with a new family and a good life. I didn't want to ruin it, but I still wanted to be a part of it."

"So that's why you hid your identity from me, and didn't tell me about my past?"

"Yes" He took a step towards me as the flame started to die down. "Even though you don't believe me I truly care about you Kida. Nothing will ever change how I feel about you."

"Oh...my…God, he likes me" I thought "he actually likes me"

As the fire died down he stepped closer until we were inches apart. Out of instinct I gripped the handle of my dagger. As the last few sparks faded I felt warm lips press against mine as the darkness surrounded us. Then he wrapped his arms tightly around me as I felt a force pull me off my feet and I was surrounded by bright colorful lights.

Chapter Song

And I let you reach me one more time

But that's enough

Your love is breaking the law

But I needed a witness

So pick me up when it's over

It don't make any difference
