Loki ached all over, especially his head. He slowly opened his eyes to find himself lying in the healing room. He felt something tight and warm on one of his hands and he looked down to find his father sat beside him holding his hand.

'Father?' he managed to say, his voice croaky.

'Yes. Your alright, your safe now' Odin replied smiling down at his son

'What happened?' asked Loki

'You don't remember?'

'I remember being in the garden and then darkness, all around me. I couldn't escape; it was like it was suffocating me, draining me'

'Well it's gone now don't worry' Odin said hiding the fear in his voice.

'What was it?' asked Loki attempting to sit up,

'It was a spirit. An evil one that possessed you' Loki looked horrified,

'A…spirit? What…'

'Calm down it's ok' Odin tightened his grip on Loki's hand 'I got rid of it, it's not coming back' Odin said planning out his words, he knew Loki was clever and he feared he couldn't handle knowing the truth for the time being. He was child after all.

'Why? Why did it possess me?' asked Loki calming down

'It was attracted to your magic. It saw you out in the garden and possessed you'

'But how did it get here? In the palace?' wondered Loki managing to sit up.

'Your brother and the others brought it back from their adventure to the runes. They didn't mean to of course, they didn't even know it was following them' Loki swallowed as he processed the new information

'Did Thor get hurt?' he eventually said

'No no he's fine my son. Bit battered and bruised but I believe that to be his own fault' Odin smiled and Loki smiled back.

'When can I leave?' Loki asked gesturing to the healing room

'Well the matron wants to keep you for a few days' Loki groaned

'But I'm fine! Honestly!'

'It's just a precaution!' said Frigga coming into the room. She walked over to him and gave him a hug.

'Hello mother' he said hugging her back.

'Hello Loki' she said smiling 'Odin dear I think Heimdall wanted to speak to you about something' Odin nodded and stood up.

'I shall return later my son' and with that he exited the room.

'Don't ask because I don't know' Frigga said smiling at him.

'I wasn't going to say anything' he said smiling back at her.

'I can read you like a book Loki. Don't think I don't know when my son is lying' she said grabbing his hand and squeezing it.

'I never doubted you' he said smiling back

'Now are you sure you're feeling better? And don't lie because I have my motherly sensors to tell me if you are!'

'I ache a little, mainly my head. I think that's mainly due to me been used a puppet but I'll be fine' he said smiling.

'Well I think you should get some sleep then. Let that brain of yours rest for a while'

'But…'

'No buts! You do as your told' she smiled at him again. Loki was actually glad his mother brought up the subject of sleep because to be honest he was exhausted which to him seemed unusual, as he'd just woken up. He rested his head against the pillow and slowly closed his eyes, drifting off into a deep slumber.

Few days later

Thor was sat down in front of the fire, his friends: Sif, Hogan, Volstagg and Fandral were all sitting around him. They were in the living room, the place they usually all hang out.

'What do we all want to do today then?' asked Volstagg scoffing down some food – as usual. Thor turned his head towards his friends and said

'I don't think I'm up to having an adventure today my friends'

'Still thinking about Loki?' asked Fandral. Thor nodded

'It wasn't your fault Thor. You should stop blaming yourself for what happened' said Sif

'But…'

'There was nothing you could have done to stop it. It's over now and you should be grateful Loki is alright' she said folding her arms.

'I know' Thor said 'I just wish he was here. He shouldn't be on his own; he should be here with us. Having fun as we do'

'Your wish is granted' said Loki walking into the room.

'Loki!' Thor jumped up and ran towards his little brother giving him the biggest hug he had ever thought he had given. Thor placed his brother back on the ground but still clung onto his shoulders 'Are you alright?' Loki smiled back,

'Of course I am, now do you mind getting off me? I've just left the healing room and I don't want to be back there 10 minutes after I've left' Thor let go of him then put his arm round his shoulder

'It is good to see you well brother' Thor said hugging him again. Loki smiled. Just then a guard came through the door

'My princes' he said bowing 'Prince Thor. The Allfather has requested your presence' Thor nodded

'I will be back shortly my friends. In the meantime try not to kill each other' he smiled then followed the guard out. When the door banged shut, Loki immediately felt eyes at the back of his head.

'It's rude to stare' he said, his voice cold and crisp.

'How are you?' said Sif awkwardly

'A lot better now, no thanks to you lot. Although I should thank you Sif for as you say broadening my mind' he turned back around to leave

'What do you mean?' said Sif standing up. Loki laughed and turned back around, his eyes glowing red.

'For freeing me of course' he put his hand up and sent them all crashing into the wall. They all started to glow a red colour and soon they were hovering in the air unable to move.

'Loki?' asked Hogan. Loki hovered in the air then came towards them.

'My name is Alexander. I am Loki. Well not really. Well sort of'

'What do you want?' asked Sif trying to move

'Me? Well I want revenge but at the moment I'm having a bit of fun' he smiled at them

'What do you mean by that?' asked Fandral

'What I mean by that is… I've accessed Loki's deepest and I mean deepest, darkest desires. He doesn't even know they exist, then again he'd probably be driven insane if he did know they existed'

'And what are Loki's deepest, darkest desires?' asked Sif still struggling to move

'Oh I think you already know what his are' he smiled at them all 'now lets have some fun! How about hide and seek? Yeah, that sounds fun!' Loki well Alexander put his hand up and they all dropped to the floor. Loki looked down at them 'Better start hiding or better yet running. Oh I do love it when they run!' he smiled and with a red flash he was gone.

'He's coming after us isn't he?' asked Sif standing up, stretching out her arm

'For the record, I blame you' said Hogan turning around to face her

'What? Why me?' she shouted

'Well it is your fault. If we hadn't have left him out then we wouldn't be in this mess and Loki wouldn't be like this!' shouted Hogan. Hogan never shouted, he was a more relaxed type of person and this made all the group feel on edge.

'Better start running my pets, the clocks ticking! Tick tock tick tock! Ha-ha!' the voice echoed through the room making them all jump.

'What do we do then?' asked Volstagg

'We should take him down when we have the chance!' said Sif

'Are you mad? What if we kill him!' shouted Fandral. Sif shrugged

'We have to protect Asgard!' she shouted

'What by killing one its princes?' he shouted back,

'It's the only way!'

'No!' shouted Hogan making them all fall silent 'arguing isn't going to get us anywhere'

'And you have a better idea?' asked Sif folding her arms.

'Yes in fact I do. We go to Thor, tell him what has happened. Then he can tell the King and let him deal with him. It has nothing to do with us!' he said sternly looking at them all especially Sif.

'Fine by me' said Volstagg, Fandral nodded and Sif still just stood there with her arms crossed. They all left the room and headed straight towards the throne room.

'Don't be in such a mood Sif!' said Fandral noticing her face 'just because we're talking orders from Hogan instead of you!' he smiled as she just glared at him.

'Where do you think you are going?' came a voice echoing down the hall. The group of friends stood frozen to the spot. A red cloud appeared in front of them like a tornado and Alexander emerged.

'We, we… err we were hiding!' said Sif. Alexander laughed,

'You think me stupid? I am as old as Odin and have the mind and abilities of the God of mischief! I know when you are lying!'

'Run?' asked Fandral

'Run!' said Sif and with that they all turned around and ran for their lives, literally. Alexander landed on the floor and turned round the corner where Odin this boy's so called 'father' and Thor, his so called 'brother' had come out of the throne room.

'What happened brother?' asked Thor running up to him.

'Nothing' he said smiling 'our friends and me were just playing'

'It is good you have finally decided to join in with us' Thor said putting his hand on his shoulder 'and I admit I should have invited you more'

'It is alright brother! We have all made mistakes' he smiled 'would you like to play with us?'

'Of course! What are we playing?' asked Thor

'Hide and seek'

'Let me guess are you it?' asked Thor.

'Yes but I volunteered this time! Go, I'll give you extra time seen as if you have just joined in' he smiled at this

'Thank-you. Father, may I?' wondered Thor turning to Odin.

'Of course, you go have fun. I think you all need it after what has happened over the last few days' and with that he smiled and re-entered the throne room.

'You better give me extra time brother! I know what you are like!' said Thor running off down the corridor. Alexander smiled. As do I 'brother' and now your playing the game is on! He laughed and clicked his fingers and disappeared in a puff of red smoke.
