Hey. ;)

A little short chapter - hope you'll like. More is being written, but it's time for school again and yeeeeah ... you know how it is. ^_O/

Chapter 5.

Baldur had almost reacted the same as Loki; "What! You came back! it's not save …", so she had had to give him the same speech, about; how Loki was hurt and couldn't keep her in their world for too long.

Lucy was now sitting in the room after strict orders. It was here she had woken up for the first time and it already felt familiar. Baldur was downstairs and cooking lunch. He had told her not to move.

"8 hours," Lucy mumbled and looked at a little blue clock on the wall. She pulled her legs up on the bed and buried her head in her knees. She wasn't scared, she wasn't even concerned about her safety, she was just SO unbelievably BORED! And that was worse than any fear.

"44, 43, 42, 41," she counted the seconds. She sighed of herself, she couldn't stay here. She loved her room, and Baldurs little house, but she had to get out. Now. If she had had her keys she could have summoned Plue. She jumped out of the bed and hurried to the door and pulled down the (old-fashioned) doorknob. She made an unsatisfied groan when she found out it was locked.

"Baldur!" she yelled down.

"What?" he yelled back.

"The door is locked," she complained.

"That's kind of the point," he yelled back and she could hear the amusement in his voice.

"Well, open it, I need some fresh air," Lucy said and tried to control her voice.

"You can get all the air you want in …" there was a short pause, "7 hours and 57 minutes."

"Baldur!" Lucy yelled and kicked the door in anger. She heard him laugh, and just got even angrier. She turned around to the window and pulled the curtains away. ´He had forgot all about the window, ´ she thought satisfied and opened it. The cool air rushed in and she inhaled gladly.

She looked down and bit her lip. She hadn't realized how far down the ground was, and the wall didn't have anything to grab, now she knew why Baldur hadn't secured the window, only a fool would try to climb down here. She shook her head of herself.

"Lucy, you are crazy," she told herself and opened the window wider to climb out. Her hands held tightly around the window, while she swung her legs out and looked back one last time. She almost felt bad for Baldur, but something else inside her was excited to sneak out - and she only got the change to be a spirit once (she didn't expect Loki to let her ´Switch´ again), why waste it here.

´Please don't slip. Please don't slip. Please don't slip,´ Her head screamed of her and her hands tighten around the window. She lowered her body out of the window, so she hung in her arms. Her legs swung up and down to find something to stand on, but the wall was completely flat. Maybe this wasn't a good of an idea. She tried to pull herself up again, but suddenly her hand slipped.

She opened her mouth, but before she could scream, a hand covered her mouth and wrapped the other hand around her waist to support her. She widen her eyes. She hung in the air. Lucy was too surprised that gravity had stopped working that she didn't struggle when her savior lowered her gently to the ground.

"So clumsy," she heard the familiar voice mumble. She turned on her heel.

"Ares?" she said breathless. She must have looked very terrified, because his eyebrows pulled together in a mix of anger and pain. He crossed his arm and raised an eyebrow.

"Don't worry, I wont kill you … for now," he said and turned around to leave.

"W-wait!" Lucy said. Her voice sounded different, panicking. Why did she even care what he did? He was the reason Loki was so worried, and he had almost killed her! Why didn't she turn around and ran away while yelling, "Stay away monster!"

"What do you want?" he said without turning.

"I have no idea," she said. It was true. A rush of wind sounded and before Lucy knew it Ares had her pressed up against the wall. His hand was behind her head so she didn't got hurt, but the air was still punched out of her and she exclaimed a surprised ´ugh! ´.

"You have no idea," he repeated her words. He placed each of his hands on each side of her and made it impossible to escape, "I could kill you, right now. My master asked me to do it, he would be very pleased with me – he would even reward me."

"And yet you didn't make me fall," Lucy snapped back.

"Maybe I wanted to kill you myself," he argued. His eyes shone with amusement.

"But you haven't done it yet," Lucy said and Ares seemed to get annoyed with her calmness. His dark eyes dug into Lucys, but she didn't blink. "Why do you want me dead?"

"I don't," he admitted, "my master wants it, and I will obey."

"But why?" Lucy asked.

"More golden keys," Ares said matter-of-factly, "he wants Loki and all the others."

"Loki?" Lucy said and for the first time her face changed into concern.

"Yeah," Ares said and let his arms drop down the sides, "he wants all the golden keys – you have a lot of them, you know."

"That's a lousy reason, your master is …"

"Don't!" Ares said furious, "if you talk bad about him, I really will kill you."

"But can't you see that he is doing something wrong? He should earn them," she tried to explain, but Ares eyes just turned darker.

"He do," Ares insisted, "you don't know anything."

"Then tell me," Lucy said and stepped closer to him, but he just stepped two steps back. His eyes had become serious and it looked like he actually thought about telling it.

"Lucy!" Baldurs voice yelled from the window. Both Ares and Lucy looked up. Baldurs head was looking out the window, when he saw them his features stiffen.

"What are you doing here, you traitor! Didn't I tell you to stay away?" Baldur yelled at Ares. Lucy looked at Ares with surprise. She had been so sure that they were friends. Ares always came to Baldurs house to eat and sleep. Had she just ruined their friendship?

"Didn't you hear me?" Baldur yelled again and now his eyes narrowed. Ares eyes were big in shock, but then he lowered his head. His hair fell down and covered his eyes.

"You were lucky that he came," Ares whispered, Lucy looked at him with sad eyes, "if he hadn't come I would have surely killed you, right?"

"Ares-" Lucy was cut off by his wings folding out in full length and with a huge stroke of his wings he disappeared with incredible speed.

Lucy's hair blew back and she looked after him with a hand over her heart. 7 hours and 30 minuets left.
