Hey Everyone! Sorry about the delay and the long wait after a cliffhanger! The end of the semester is always a little crazy! Only one more week and then I'm on summer break so I will update more!
Loki and Thor landed on the frozen wasteland of Jotunheim. Loki could sense his children near but he could not sense Amelia. They looked around and saw no one around. Loki was not messing around this time and headed straight for the palace. It was time to find out just what the hell was going on. There was darkness here, a great evil. They walked through the frozen wasteland to the palace made of ice. They did not hesitate to stride straight through the doors. They were greeted by a group of Frost Giants. No one moved or attacked first. They just watched as Loki and Thor continued to the throne room. Loki blasted open the doors as they came to them. The sight inside the room made Loki sick. Bergelmir was on his throne and Amelia was chained to the side of it. She had on her bloodstained dress. With only one glance Loki could see that she was not pregnant.
"Ah princes of Asgard. What can I do for you?" Bergelmir said
"You will give me back my wife and my children." Loki demanded
Amelia had hot wet tears running down her face. Her husband was here for her but she feared for him. The giants had still yet to tell her where her children were. She had awoken chained to the throne. She looked at Loki and could see the sadness in his eyes. Bergelmir stepped down off of the throne.
"I tell you what Asgardians, how about we play a game. I will give you a choice. You can save your sons who are currently cast out into the frozen wild, where anything or anyone could get to them, or you can stay here and fight and try to save your wife. It is your decision."
Loki stepped forward his hands raging with magic.
"You will give me my family." He said
"A part of it yes. You can stay here and argue with me and choose your wife but I do not think your newborn sons can wait that long. Do you?" Bergelmir said with a smirk
Loki looked at Amelia. Her eyes were telling him to go and get his children. Silent tears rolled down her face. She had a gag in her mouth so she could not speak but her face said it all. She wanted him to leave her here and save their children.
"Have you made your decision Asgardian?"
Loki looked at Thor. Thor nodded knowing his plan. Thor twirled his hammer and blasted off to find the twins. Loki turned to face the Frost Giants. As he glanced around the room he saw that there were dozens of them now enveloping the room. Bergelmir sneered at him.
"That was cheating." He said
Loki smirked. "You must not know me at all."
Amelia watched as the Frost Giants attacked Loki. He fought off every single one that came at him. Ever since whatever the Frost Giants did to her in the throne room her powers had felt off. She had tried again and again to summon them to try to escape but nothing worked. They had blocked them somehow. Bergelmir sat next to her on his throne watching the fight. Mimir stood on the other side of her itching for his chance at Loki. She closed her eyes and dug deep. She summoned all of the power she could find in herself. Her fingers started to glow and the chains started to melt. Loki was tearing through the Frost Giants. There were only a few left. Mimir glanced at Bergelmir and Bergelmir gave him the nod. Mimir strode towards Loki who was fighting off 3 other giants. Amelia wanted to scream for Loki but her mouth was still gagged. She concentrated a little harder and the rest of the chain melted.
Mimir was headed straight for Loki's back. He had a broad sword and a dagger. He was about to swing it when he was hit from behind. Amelia had gotten free and stalked towards him. She ripped off her gag.
"Loki behind you." She yelled.
Loki turned and saw Mimir behind him. There were still giants advancing from the other side. Loki stood between them waiting to see who would attack first. Amelia summoned a fireball and threw it towards Mimir. It hit him square in the back and he turned to her. Loki used this opportunity to turn back towards the other advancing giants. Amelia threw magic at Mimir but her magic was not strong enough. Nothing could stop his advances. She had nowhere else to run because he had backed her into the corner. He grabbed her by the neck and held her against the wall.
"Did you really think you could harm me?" he said sneering at her.
She kicked out at him and he moved out of the way. Loki had finished off the Frost Giants and he turned to see that Bergelmir had gone. Coward, Loki thought to himself. He saw Amelia struggling against Mimir in the corner of the room.
"Amelia." He yelled as he ran towards her.
Mimir turned and gave him an evil smirk before taking his dagger and burying it to the hilt into Amelia's abdomen.
…
Thor searched the frozen rocks for any signs of his nephews. He stopped and listened. He could faintly hear the cries of an infant. He ran towards the sound. There in the same spot that Loki was left to die as a baby were his nephews. They were both naked and blue and screaming. He picked them up, one in each arm, and cradled them against him. He wrapped them in his cape for extra warmth. These babies were so tiny Thor did not know if they would survive. He knew he needed to get them back to Asgard as quickly as possible or they would not survive.
"Heimdall bring me back now." Thor yelled.
He held onto the screaming boys as he shot through the bifrost.
…
Mimir pulled the dagger out and ran. Amelia sputtered; she could taste blood in her mouth. She could feel her knees giving out from under her. They gave way right as Loki got to her. He grabbed onto her and lowered her to the ground.
"Amelia, come on baby stay with me." He said
Loki put his hand over the wound in Amelia's abdomen. His hand was covered in blood. There was way too much blood and it was coming out too fast. Amelia's already pale face was growing paler. There was a slow trickle of blood coming out of the side of her mouth. She reached up with her blood stained hand and put it on Loki's cheek.
"Take care of our children Loki." She said tears running down her face.
"No damn it don't say that. We are going to take care of our children Amelia. Both of us together. Come on just hold on for me." He said
Amelia wiped the tear from his face, smearing her blood across his cheek.
"Just promise to tell them about me." She said
He took her hand and kissed it. He bent down and kissed her bloodstained lips.
"I promise." He whispered
She smiled at him. "I love you so much."
He held her hand tight and pulled her head into his lap. "I love you too."
He held her hand until he felt it go limp. Her eyes fluttered closed and her chest stopped moving. Loki pulled Amelia's limp body against him. He cried out in anguish. Even the harsh winds of the frozen wasteland could not drown out the sound of his scream. He pulled Amelia's body into his arms and stood up.
"Heimdall bring us home." He said
