Chapter 15 : The Escape
All was still. It seemed as if my words had paused time and the only thing I could hear was, the increasing rhythm of my heart. I started to regret my words, suddenly unsure of Loki's reaction. Would he laugh, cry, get angry or just, stare? He had been unpredictable ever since I met him. I slowly retracted my fingers from his, uncertainty filling my mind.
Suddenly, Loki forcefully grabbed my shoulder, with surprising strength, his nails digging into my flesh. I winced at the pain and tried not to flinch back at the wild look in Loki's eyes. His breath blew across my face making me squirm in discomfort. But Loki held me tight. His intense gaze brought beads of sweat on my face, and I swallowed nervously. I opened my mouth to apologize for touching him, but before I could speak, Loki did.
"You would release me?" He asked. "Don't toy with me servant," he added somewhat desperately. I have a name you know, I thought irritably. I slowly licked my dry lips before answering.
"Yes." I answered, looking Loki in the eye (which wasn't an easy task).
Unexpectantly, Loki pulled me even closer so that our noses were practically touching. I swallowed at his close proximity. "If this is a trap, I swear on the nine realms I will kill you in the most unpleasant way possible. Even despite my injuries. Do you understand me?" He growled menacingly. I bobbed my head slowly. He held me for a moment longer, before releasing his hold on me. I rubbed my shoulder and let out a much needed breath.
"If we are to make our escape before anyone notices us, I suggest we leave now." Loki said calmly, as if he hadn't just threatened me. I gaped, unable to find words. "So if you could stop gaping like a fool and help me up, we could escape a lot quicker," he snapped, causing me to snap my mouth shut. I quickly stood up and looked down at him nervously.
"Well?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. I bit my lip and assessed how to go about getting him up. Once I had an idea, I took a deep breath. "Okay, here we go." I whispered, leaning down.
Author's Note: Hey guys! *hides behind Loki* Please don't kill me. I have been meaning to get another chapter up, but I had to get over a bad case of writer's block. I should be posting more chapters soon since I have my own laptop! I'm so happy and I hope this chapter will suffice as a Christmas present for you guys. Thanks for all the support, and please R and R! Bumblewolf out! P.S Before I forget, Disclaimer: I do not own Thor, though I wish I did.
