Chapter 4
"NO! Loki, would never hurt me. He loves me." Kelda said trying hard not to start crying. Odin sighed again. "He almost condemned you and the child to death in a fit of rage against Thor. That is a crime here as well. Weather intentions are for good or evil or he simple did not see you he endangered a mother and his own child. He is forbidden to see you and the child. And you are also forbidden to seeing him." Hearing this Kelda ran out of the throne room crying and she ran into Thor. "Kelda, what's wrong my sister?" He asked full of concern. She through her arms around her older brother and she cries into his chest. Thor hugged her, "What is it Kelda?" He asked. "It's Loki, I have lost him. Odin through him in the dungeon and he said that he is forbidden to see me and our son and I am forbidden to see him as well." Kelda said through her tears. Thor sighed, "I thought that would happen." Kelda looked up at him and then smacked his chest, "Why didn't you do something then." She said. "Kelda, Loki needed to be punished for what he did to me and on Midgard." Thor said.
"But he has a child! A very young one! Haiden Loki will never know is father and Loki will never know his son. She whimpered. "Thor, we made a mistake on Asgard. But he had no choice, but to do what they want if he failed they would kill me and our son." Kelda said. Thor looked confused, "They? You speak of. They…who is it?" He asked. She looked at him, "Thor it's Thanos."
Thor frozen his muscles were tense, "That name should never be uttered again." He whispered, "If he is after Loki and if Loki did not do as he said…the dungeons are the safest place in the universe for him." He said. "Thor, I don't feel safe without my Loki. He is the only one who can keep me and little Haiden Loki safe from him." Kelda said. Thor looked hurt, "What about me? Or mother? We would protect you and little Haiden." He said. Kelda smiled at him, "I know you and Mother would, but Loki is a Father now and he takes that role very seriously." She said. "Yes, but where he is…he cannot hurt him. He would do far worse things to Loki now than before."
"Thor, you are not listening. He said that he would kill me and little Haiden Loki if Loki failed him." Kelda said again. "He will kill Loki as well…I just do not wish your son to grow up knowing of only four walls." Thor said. Kelda knew that he was right, but she also knew that she had to say this as well. "So you want my son to grow up not knowing his father then is that it?" Thor shook his head he did not mean that at all, "No. I will make sure he can see his father as often as I can make it happen. I and my friends will smuggle you and little Haiden down. Mother I am sure will help. Loki cannot have this taken from him. He has lost so much already." Kelda kisses Thor's cheek, "Thank you so much Thor, that means a lot to me and to Loki." She said. Thor gave her one last hug. "I need to go speak to Father now. I will do what I can." He said before heading off the way she came. Kelda watched him go. Her heart stuck between light and darker then she had ever thought on could be. She walked back to Frigga's chambers feeling numb. She slipped in through the doors and made her way to the couch. She sat down everything felt off. The queen looked up and made her way over to the girl wrapping her arms around her whispering encouragements and rocking the crying girl till she fell asleep.
