Chapter 15

My mouth was full of saliva and reason for it were feverish dreams. I was caged like mindless beast and beasts starve for flesh. My hunger didn't help the case and I wanted a bite, maybe an ear of one of the guards. Or cooked brain, that is delicious, so foamy. I understood addictions, but to be addicted to human flesh seemed implausible before. Now cannibalism excited me and it is deranged, but then I start thinking; I want to kill few people here and there so why not treat myself with their remains?

"You whimper in your sleep." I couldn't expect 'good morning' from Loki, right? "You did the same back to Midgard... What are your dreams about?"

I shrugged with my shoulders... He doesn't need to know those things.

"You can not lie to me." I can try. "Neither can I to you." Says the god of lies.

Loki seemed deep in thought after that statement and I wasn't complaining. He was rarely silent and I just woke few minutes ago, so it was too early for his usual mockery. When I looked at him, he wasn't himself I would say, he was nine realms away. What happened inside his cell was a mystery to me, I was thankful for not hearing noises of destruction. Putting thoughts about Loki aside, I looked around, counted how many of the prisoners were back to the cells where they belong.

There was no Lorelei. I didn't care about the rest, but I truly wanted her to remain locked. There is not enough place for both of us. I saw myself as a person with the potential for wicked games, but she was plainly dangerous. We were, I would say alike in some aspect. Volturi ripped out my tongue when I made them say and do what they didn't want to and Lorelei uses her voice for similar thing so she got a collar. Whenever she is, I hope she is as far away as possible.

"Lady Swan." I didn't notice incompetent guard approaching my cell. "Trial for your crimes will be held in one week time. Till then our king wants you to think of your actions."

I would do it again, I would kill them all where they stood if I could, but now I only wanted Odin to eat donkey shit.

"I will convey your message to Allfather."

"What message?" Asked Loki.

"I shall say to Allfather to eat donkey shit."

Loki burst out laughing, but he didn't understand. I clapped my hands together like a child who just got a new toy. Stepping closer to him, I gazed into his eyes and started playing little games. It was just a few blinks at first, then bending head to one side, then raising hands up. He had a sword attached to the belt and I made him raise it to his neck. Asgard needs stronger minds if it plans to continue existing. For now I let him go, I had my fun.

"I salute you." The guard turned to Loki. " Future King." That was my final touch.

Power of anger was greater than I ever imagined. It fueled the stone to extend its power out of my cell. I got a guard's mind and I could have twisted it, but it wasn't yet the time for that. I played with an idea to kill off Odin or Thor, but they were unfortunately more useful alive, at least Odin. I only needed to twist his mind like I did with his dear wife, but there was no need to rush. The first thing was getting out of the cell and eating something. Maybe I should have made that guard slice his ear off and give it to me. I would eat it raw.

"They underestimated little Swan again."

Maybe I shouldn't have done anything in front of Loki, my move must have given him plenty ideas, but he will stay in his cell forever and two hells way from me. Or so I thought. It was silent for a while, but then Thor came and broke Loki out. One day, Thor's stupidity is going to end whole universe and beyond. And during their little talk before freeing him, I learnt that Frigga was killed by Dark Elfs protecting Jane Foster. Now little Janey was wanted and Thoroki were in charge of saving her ass. What could go wrong?

"What will happen to her?" Loki asked, looking at me.

"I do not know."

"Do not tell me it hurt when she slapped you."

"Come, Loki."

Loki of course didn't do it right away. He stood before my cell and stared at me with a smile from ear to ear. This will go wrong. Loki is in for something and it is not revenge for somebody killing his adopted mother. I am not a fool like Thor. Loki betrayed Asgard when everyone was in heaven, he will do it again. Especially now when Asgard is going to hell. Thor started pulling him away to urge him to finally move and Loki walked, but not without turning to me once again.

"I'll see you soon, Isabella."

They left and I waited for news. The guards in prison didn't know anything so I was drowning in ignorance. Still in the midst of crazy, I was brought diner. It was something alike to a fish, but it tasted like shit, maybe it was a donkey shit. Next day more prisoners arrived before I was released and taken to chamber I used before. I wasn't given any explanation, but thankfully I was given more food. And having a bath was lovely before one maid came looking for me.

"Allfather will see you now."

School is starting.
