Chapter 11: Returning to the cell
I waited until it close to eleven o clock, before I left my room to visit Loki. "Time to go," I whispered as I opened my door, as I balanced the clothing and porridge in one hand. I locked my door with my skeleton key and walked cautiously down the darkened hallway, trying not to trip on my own feet. I snuck past any servants or guards I passed, hiding behind pillars or against the wall. Usually most of the servants most of the servants are asleep, except for those who have the night shift, which I know isn't a lot of us. I thought, after another encounter which left me pressed against the wall.
By the time I reached Loki's cell my heart was racing and I was nervously darting my eyes left to right. I leaned against the door for a second to regain my composure. Once my breathing had slowed, I stood on shaky knees, facing the door that inside held torture and maybe death. My eyes widened at the thought. Without thinking I shoved my key into the lock and unlocked it. Please don't be dead. Please don't be dead. I begged in my mind as I fumbled with the doorhandle. Hundreds of situations flashed through my mind. What if they came back to finish the job? What if the medicine didn't work? What if the medicine killed him? Did I kill him? Frantic thoughts plagued my mind, my lips too dry to move. I threw open the door and ran inside, my heart immediately stopping.
The door shut behind me with a bang but I barely heard it. I was too busy looking at the unmoving chains without any sign of its prisoner. My heart seized in my chest, as I hastily searched the room for Loki. Where are you? Was I too late? Did they take him away? Dispose of his lifeless body? Oh no! No! My mind screamed, giving me a headache.
"Loki." I whispered, my throat catching in my throat, the echo showing my pain. I fell to my knees and placed the porridge bowl on the floor. I hugged his clothing to my chest and let a silent tear fall, as I realized he would never get to wear them.
Author's Note: What up Guys!? I'm on a roll with these chapter updates! But sadly this will be the only chapter I'll be posting for a while. I need time to find my muse and add to my story. On a cooler note, anyone hear that Adam Lambert is going to be on Glee! I'm super excited! I'm definitely going to be watching Glee now! Another thing that's exciting, at least to me, I've reached 30 followers! Omg, you guys are amazing, thanks so much for the support! A special thanks goes out to IWillNeverStopFangirling, for being my 30th follower! Thanks so much! Sorry for the short chapter, but I needed to leave a cliffhanger. Ha-ha, I'm so evil... P.s Anyone feel like doing fanart? I'm thinking of doing it myself, but it would be great to see your fanart and impression of Althaia, since I haven't explained much of her look. That comes later. Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed and please r/r! Glamberts forever! Bumblewolf out!
