A.N Hello everyone thank you so much for the reviews you're all amazing and thanks to grapejuice101 for making a poster for this story the link to see it is in her bio. Enjoy,
The three of us climbed out and walked to the edge, we could see Malekith and his soldiers walk out of their ship.
"Are you ready?" Thor asked with his arm protectively around Jane.
"I am" Loki said earning an annoyed glare from me, Thor and Loki stood up and looked down at Malekith. Loki held his chained hands up to Thor. "You still don't trust me brother?"
"Would you?" With that Thor unlocked the chains releasing Loki. That's when I noticed the hidden dagger.
"No I wouldn't…" Before I could react Loki stabbed Thor and pushed him down the hill.
"Thor!" Jane yelled
I practically jumped down the hill until I reached the bottom. Gold arrows appeared around me and began to fly towards Loki. Loki raised his hand and a wall of green light surrounded him before it moved towards me. His magic began to drain the air around me, as I choked and coughed for fresh air I could see Loki toss Jane to the ground. I collapsed as I felt lightheaded while Jane floated in the air. The Aether began to flow out of her in a strange fluid form. When Jane collapsed the green light around me disappeared and I felt the air return.
"Loki now!" Thor yelled
In a matter of seconds Loki shielded Jane with his body while Thor stood under the Aether and began to shoot lightning into it. I turned away and raised my shield, when it was silent I could see the Aether float around me in crystalized pieces.
"No…no this wasn't supposed to happen" I thought
"Kida take Jane to the ship!"
I grabbed Jane and took her back to the ship while Thor and Loki fought Malekith. When I set Jane down I turned my back to fight with them.
"Kida where are you going?" She said "Please stay with me"
"Jane I know you care about me" I turned back to her and placed my hands on her shoulders. "But I'm no longer that scared little girl you met in New Mexico. Ok…and I know how strong you are and I know you trust me. Please, stay here."
She nodded her head and I took off, I jumped from a large boulder and landed in a group of elves. A band of gold light shot out and knocked them all out. But the quiet ended when I heard a loud BOOM. I looked a few yards away to see a massive beast attack Thor, I snuck up behind him and slammed my sword into his back. But instead of falling the beast grabbed my hair and pulled me over his shoulder and onto the ground. My sword that stuck out of his armor was pulled out and he slammed his foot onto my shoulder. I let out a loud cry of pain as I felt the bones cracking, but when I opened my eyes I saw him holding my sword high above him. The blade aimed at my throat.
"KIIIDDAAAAA!" Thor screamed
The sword fell inches away from my cheek and was impaled into the ground. I could see a large shard of metal stick out of his chest. When the beast turned around I saw Loki, and strangely enough, I smiled. But it disappeared when the beast grabbed him and impaled him.
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Thor cried
When Loki fell I immediately ran to his side and began to heal him. But my weakened magic worked slower. The beast disappeared in a black hole and Thor ran over to us as Loki's skin turned grey. He held Loki's head and held him up.
"You damn fool you didn't listen."
"I know…I'm a fool…I'm a fool…" His breathing became short and shallow. As his wound faded it appeared on my body. As the pain grew too much I pulled my hands away and fell next to him.
"Thor…" I said with tears building in my eyes "I'm so sorry…the magic is too strong."
"Stay with me"
"I'm sorry…I'm sorry"
"Ssh it's ok, it's alright…I'll tell Father what you did here today."
"I didn't do it for him."
In that moment Thor and I glanced at each other before I looked back at Loki. I could see the vibrant green color in his eyes fade. And in that moment I didn't see Loki…I saw Luke. The first man I ever loved. His hand moved towards me and I grabbed it to comfort him, he felt cold as ice. His head slowly rolled back as his eyes closed. The dark magic completely took control of his body leaving it pale.
"NNOOOO!" Thor screamed as he held Loki closer. I looked over his shoulder to see Jane walk towards us.
She stayed back as she let us mourn over him, I was surprised at how much I cried over him. Jane walked over and placed a hand on our shoulders.
"Guys we have to find shelter, there's a storm coming."
Thor and I hurried to find some rocks and made a quick above ground tomb. We wondered around the desolate wasteland until we found a cave. Jane and I sat down while Thor paced.
"Kida" Jane stood up and sat down next to me "will you be ok?"
"I really don't know Jane… the first man I ever loved is gone." I said "I couldn't save Phil, I couldn't save Phil, and I couldn't save Loki. I've become useless…I can't save anyone."
"Kida look at me" Jane moved in front of me and raised my head to look at her. "You are not useless, do you understand? You are the most important person in the world. You keep everyone together, you help bring us together. Yes you cannot save everyone…but that doesn't make you a bad hero."
I nodded my head and wiped the remaining tears from my cheeks. Suddenly music rang out in the cave. We all looked at each other confused, Jane reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.
"You have service here?!" I snapped "My phone died after two days of being in Asgard."
She answered the phone and talked to some man, Thor had a surprised and confused look on his face. Jane looked at the ground and picked up some keys. That's when Thor and I noticed the pile of shoes scattered on the ground. Jane grabbed Thor's hand and I followed them.
"Why are there so many shoes in here?" Thor asked
I felt a strong cold breeze and we suddenly stood in a parking lot, there was nothing expect an abandoned car. I looked around and remembered the building.
"Oh my god…we're in London." I smiled and covered my mouth. "We're on Earth!"
"Kida we got to go!" Jane yelled from the car.
Thor squeezed into the front seat while I relaxed in the back.
"So who's Peter?" Thor asked
"Shut up" Jane said slightly teasingly
She drove us through the city and I stared out the shattered window with a smile on my face. I never felt so happy seeing a street in London. The car stopped and we walked into a large apartment building. We went to the top one where I saw Darcy and Erik.
"Jane!" Darcy said "KIDA!"
"Darcy!" We ran to each other and hugged each other tightly before Erik walked towards us and hugged me and Jane together.
"Ok I'm just going to point out the elephant in the room. Erik…you're not wearing" I said
"Helps me think." He answered
"Of course it does" Jane said
"Erik, are you well?" Thor asked
"Never better, your brother isn't coming is he?"
"No…he's dead"
"Oh thank god" I turned around quickly at his response but Jane grabbed my arm and held me back. "I mean, I'm so sorry."
"Kida how about you take a shower and you can put on some Earth clothes." Jane said "To help relax."
"Thank you Jane."
I went into Jane's bathroom and took a warm shower, scrubbing off all the dirt and dust from earlier. My muscles relaxed and I felt tired and weak, I knew Malekith was still out there but all I wanted to do was fly to New York and go to sleep in my bed. Jane gave me a long sleeved black shirt and jeans, when I got out I sat on the edge of the bed facing the city. My head turned and I noticed the house phone, I needed to make that call. I reached over and began to dial the number for my dad's phone.
Chapter Song
Then another one bites the dust
It's hard to lose a chosen one
You did not break me
I'm still fighting for peace
