Loki looked at this woman in front of him. She looked like Amelia yet it was very clear that she was not. He reached for his dagger and held it in his hand. She stood up and tsked at him.

"Really Loki? Could you really do it? Could you kill you own wife?" she said.

Loki knew that even if this was not his wife he could not kill someone who looked just like her. Amelia stalked towards him. Loki was too frozen to back up. She came to stand right in front of him. Being this close to her was even harder for Loki. His body recognized hers even though he did not want it to. His arms ached to hold her against him and his lips longed to kiss hers. She pulled back her gown, revealing the top of the breasts that Loki knew so well.

"Go ahead then husband. Right here in the heart." She said.

Loki's palm ached to touch her breasts and the weight of the dagger felt heavy in his hand. He dropped it to the floor and backed up. Amelia laughed. It was not Amelia's lighthearted laugh. This was a laugh of malice and cruelty.

"That is what I thought." She said.

She walked around the room touching little things. Loki stood by the door trying to wrap his head around this creature. She stopped and picked up a little dress that lay across a chair. She touched the silk fabric and brought it up to her face. She smelled the silk and closed her eyes. When she did that Loki could almost see Amelia again. But then the black orbs were back and the illusion of his wife gone again. She smiled at him and it froze him to the core.

"Tell me Loki, where are my children?" she said.

Those words had broken Loki out of the stupor he was in. His children. He grabbed his dagger again and crossed the room to her. He held it against her throat and pulled the dress out of her hand.

"Those are my children." He said.

She gave him a blank stare then slowly turned the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"Oh my dear Loki." She said touching his cheek. "They are also my children."

She vanished right out of his arms. Loki looked around the room and saw she was not there. His children, she was going after his children. Loki ran for the door. He was too frantic to think about using his powers to transport himself there. He ran as fast as he could to his mother's room where his children were. He burst through the doors like a madman making his mother jump. She put down Rowyn and came over to him.

"Loki what is wrong?" she asked.

Loki looked at his children. Addy was playing with her dolls while trying to get Tristan to laugh at her. His twins were sleeping peacefully in the cradle. He didn't feel her presence around the room so he calmed for a moment.

"She is here." He said not looking away from his children.

"Who is here?" Frigga asked.

Loki looked at her. "Amelia, well not Amelia. Something is in her body."

Frigga didn't know what to say.

"Loki, tell me what happened."

"I went into our bedroom and I could feel a presence, familiar but dark. When I opened the door she was there. Mother, it was Amelia but it was not her. This thing has her body but it is not her. Her eyes were black and her hair was as white as snow. Something is inside of her, something dark." Loki said.

Frigga turned to look at the children.

"Do you think she is coming for them?" she asked.

Loki looked at his children and wanted nothing more than to protect them. He wanted to hold all of them in his arms and protect them to his last breath.

"I don't know mother. I don't know what she wants but she said something about them."

They were interrupted with the sound of a thunderous explosion. The whole palace shook. Addy screamed and the twins woke up. Loki took Addy in his arms while Frigga soothed the twins.

"Loki you must go." Frigga said.

Just then Thor burst into the room.

"Brother I need your help. There has been destruction in the city. Some unknown force is wreaking havoc on our people." He said.

Loki kissed Addy's forehead and set her down. He looked at Frigga with conflict in his eyes.

"Go my son. I shall protect your children. They are safe with me." She said.

Loki felt Frigga's magic in the room and he knew she was right. She could put a spell and glamour on the room to protect it from anything. Loki gave another look to his children and raced out of the room with Thor.

"Loki, do you have any idea what this force could be? It has great magic and power." Thor said.

Loki swallowed the lump in his throat.

"Yes Thor I know exactly what it is. It is Amelia." He replied.
