please listen to 'all we are' by matt nathanson while reading this chapter, that is all.
*Three months later*
Loki hadn't left the hospital area in three months, that was how long Terra had been asleep, the doctor said she was in a temporary coma, Samantha had begun to feel regret for what she had done and had locked herself away in her room only coming out to eat.
"How is she doing brother?" It was Thor, he had come to visit everyday since the accident.
"She is not getting any better brother, I am truly worried, what if she never comes out of this?" Thor placed a comforting hand on the younger siblings shoulder "The doctors are doing all they can for her right now, you must have some faith. She will awaken some day"
Loki cast a spell and a bouquet of white roses appeared, he changed the flowers in the vase and sat back down tossing the old ones in the garbage.
"I know you are right, but seeing her like this reminds me of when I first met her, she looks so helpless." he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and then A knock came from behind the door.
"Enter" it was the last person he expected to see, Samantha. Loki was enraged "How dare you show your face here, you did this to her, you're the reason she won't wake up"his voice was filled with accusation, Samantha just took the abuse with tears in her eyes.
"I came to see if I can fix her" her tone was quite, she had spent every day crying until she could cry no more. She advanced towards her sisters bed side cautiously, and she was right to do so Id Loki had been any more angry he would have done to her what she had done to his beloved Terra.
Samantha placed a hand over her sisters heart and focused her energy to the palm of her hand.
"I will transfer some of my life into her, but she will have to decided weather or not to wake up" her hand glowed blue and within seconds she pulled her hand away.
"I'm afraid its all I can do" and with that she turned and disappeared out the door.
it was now late and Loki was about to fall asleep when one of the doctors came in, he got up and stood in front of her protectively "Do not touch her you swine" the doctor stopped in his tracks and backed away, he knew not to anger the god of mischief.
"I only need to check her vitals" his voice was calm and collected as Loki dropped his arms and stepped to the side.
The doctor did his job and was gone as fast as he had arrived.
A tune had popped into Loki's head, it was a song he had heard during their time on earth he began to sing as he stroked his loved ones hair:
"I tasted, tasted love so sweet
And all of it was lost on me
Bought and sold like property
Sugar on my tongue
I kept falling over
I kept looking backward
I went broke believing
That the simple should be hard
All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful
I wasted, wasted love for you
Traded out for something new
Well, it's hard to change the way you lose
If you think you never won
'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful
And in the end the words won't matter
Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain.
'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, something real.
All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, beautiful."
he finished the song and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead then drifted off himself.
the next morning he awoke to see something he had not expected, his mother and father had come to visit "Mother, Father why are you here?" Odin spoke "My son is it that unusual for me to want to visit my soon to be family?" Loki looked between happy and sad as his mother gave him a comforting hug.
"Loki,, do not be to disheartened she will awake, I have seen it, in fact she may awake sooner than you think" Loki looked back to the bed and noticed she seemed in pain, he went to reposition her by changing the beds position to an upright placement, her look changed as strands of hair kept falling in her face.
Frigga went to move them but Loki had beat her to it "I wish she would wake up, I hate seeing her in this state" she stirred and rolled onto her side which freaked the poor prince out but at the same time filled him to the brim with happiness.
"Perhaps you should try talking to her" Frigga instructed, he leaned over and whispered words into her ear, she moved again, Loki smiled and kept talking to her until he got what he wanted she had subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
Then that's when it happened, her green eyes shot open and darted around the room in a panic "W-Where am I?"
"You are in the hospital love, you have been for the last few months" Terra looked confused "Where is Samantha, I wish to speak with her" "I will send for her right away" Frigga left the room to find the older sibling.
Samantha had appeared in the room suddenly it had actually scared Terra and that's when the fight started.
"HOW DARE YOU! DID YOU WISH FOR MY DEATH!" Samantha flinched but took what she had coming to her.
"Terra...I'm truly sorry I didn't mean to..." her voice was hoarse as if she had been crying again "It wouldn't have been so bad if you hadn't attacked me in the first place, I've wasted months of my life that I will never get back because of your reckless act!" she looked at Brenna who had walked in with Frigga.
"I know I'm-" Terra stopped her "Get out, just get out of my sight right now, I can't stand to look at you" the older siblings eyes welled up again as she turned and walked away.
"I truly am sorry." and with that she was gone.
"Love lets get you out of here." Loki had brought her a change of clothes for when she woke up, though now that he had looked at her he was not sure they would fit. She had lost a considerable amount of weight.
He had grabbed a wheelchair from the corner of the room, placed her in it after helping her dress and wheeled her out.
"Have I ever told you I love you?"
Loki just smiled and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.
"I love you too."
