Author's Note - The last chapter and it gave me a hell of a fight to get written, sorry about that :/. You'll see why as you read. I really liked writing this story, even with all the ups and downs it caused. It was fun and gave me a chance to write from the "bad guys" POV which I quite enjoy doing. Thank you to all those that enjoyed along with me, I could be writing to an empty room but you let me know that I'm not and that means the world to me. So a few shout outs before the chapter are in order:

I woke up and heard the red headed woman speaking to Loki. I was groggy but made out, "Thank you for your cooperation," before the door slid open and she left. Loki looked somewhat shocked. I sat up searching his expression; the god turned to me and put a finger to his lips as a smile crept across his beautiful face. Something was about to happen to shake the hold these people had on us. Loki let them think they had the upper hand. My body relaxed, trusting completely in his plans.
The Asgardian put an arm around me holding me close, "Did I frighten you earlier?" his hand caressing my face.
"No," I shook my head then shivered. Staring into his bright and deep eyes, "They did, and I don't want to leave you," I slowly confessed turning from him, embarrassed at my childish feelings revealing themselves, but it was true I wouldn't know what to do if I was torn from him.
Pulling my face back to his, "Darling girl I do not want to be parted from you either." His soft and entrancing lips covered mine drawing in my breath leaving me panting when his mouth left mine. As I stared at Loki there was something in his touch and intense eyes that made me understand, finally believe him. My doubts vanished as he flashed a dashing smile at me. The soft look in his green eyes shifted slightly to concern, "There is something coming soon," he warned me. The god's eyes then burned into mine, "I implore you to stay close to me and do exactly as I say." His voice was harsh, hard and dry, it startled me. I had never heard him sound like that before.
I solemnly turned from him, nervous and a bit scared as I wrung my hands together. I nodded as I forced myself to say, "I will not leave your side Master," my voice was meek and quiet, barely above a whisper.
The Asgardian pulled my eyes back to his, "Apologies my love, I did not mean to alarm you." He gave a slight but charming smile as he held my hands still.
The moment we shared was silent and impassioned; I reveled in every second of it. The time I shared with Loki may have been brief but it was the most real thing I had ever experienced and I wouldn't have given that up for anything my parents could have offered. My gazed moved over his perfect features, studying them when my eyes met his. The god moved in to kiss me and just as our lips were about to touch an explosion hit the vessel and knocked me to the floor.
Loud alarms started to screech and several voices over the loud speaker shouted orders. Loki picked me up, pulling me close to his body. I gave him a questioning look and he nodded in response as he wrapped his arms around me. Minutes later there was a loud animal like growl heard over the alarms that echoed through the ship. I cowered into the Asgardian's chest, I was certain that what I heard was what Loki had come aboard for.
More and more I was starting to regret my decision to come with him. I pulled back slightly and looked at the god and it was then the realization hit me that I did not have a choice in the matter. It was just as Loki had told Agent Barton, my fate was tied to him wherever that led me. My fear dissipated as I accepted that my destiny was sealed and I listened to the divine sound of the Asgardian humming in my ear as he stroked my hair.
Something else happened to the ship that made it start to tilt and the door to the cell opened. Loki turned to me, "Chastity, stay close." He led me out of the cell and hid me behind the wall panel. "Stay here until I say, understand?" I nodded as the door slid open and Loki's brother ran in, screaming at an illusion of the god stepping out of the clear cage. The blonde Asgardian grabbed for Loki but fell through the image and onto the floor and the doors closed. "Are you ever not going to fall for that?"
I watched the two intensely as the ship regained its equilibrium. Loki's brother smashed his hammer into the wall of the cage so hard that it shook the whole ship but only made a minor crack in the cell. I was so focused I didn't notice someone behind me until he yanked me up. I yelped as Agent Coulson pushed me forward, "I'm sorry about this, but he needs to be stopped." Coulson's voice was quiet and calm but stern as he moved me forward. "I don't want to hurt her but I will do what I have to. Step away please."
Loki turned grinning like a madman, "This is how humanity negotiates?" He gestured to Coulson looking at his brother, "Threatening the one thing on Midgard that I've found to love? This is what you protect?! Pathetic," he turned to me, "Chastity when I say move," he trailed off as I nodded.
"Brother, you love this girl?" the blonde Asgardian asked.
Both Loki and I looked at each other and he smiled at me as he gave the silent order, "Move."
I broke away from the agent and his grip loosened as I heard Loki's brother cry out in terror. I turned to see my Master pull his spear from Coulson's chest and the man slid down the wall; dark red blood pooling on his white shirt still holding the strange weapon. I had seen Loki kill before and I found it fascinating almost graceful, but this brutality he just showed me, I was unsure if I was frightened or excited. There was a gust of cold air and I saw the cell fall. I sat frozen staring at the dying Agent Coulson as he spoke to Loki but his eyes were fixed on me and never left mine. I couldn't hear anything in my stunned state but I saw his hand make a minuscule move towards the trigger and before I could think to stop myself I pounced on him.
I saw a bright yellow light then felt a sharp burning sensation in my stomach as I was flung backwards. I hit the Asgardian and together we flew through a wall. We landed in a crumpled heap of debris and flesh. The burning sensation had started to creep upwards into my chest and down into my hips, leaving me shaking almost uncontrollably. Tears streamed down my face as I struggled to open my eyes.
Loki was holding my broken body, pleading with me to stay. I tried to smile but gasped in pain. "What were you thinking you stupid girl?! I would have survived," he whispered to me the wetness from his eyes falling on my cheeks.
"I love you," I managed to say to him, my voice choking and fighting out of my mouth.
The god kissed my mouth, "You will always be mine," he whispered into my lips.
The pain became more than I could silently bear and I let out a scream. The god pulled my focus to him our pain filled eyes fixed on each other. I stared at him until the features of his perfect face became hazy and dull. I saw rage replace sadness in his eyes and I could feel it seep into his body. Loki would not stop until I was avenged. The god let out a howl of pain that rivaled the animal like cry I had heard earlier. He held me closer and his scent comforted me even if it was faint as he whispered, "I love you." That was the last thing I ever remember hearing.
