Chapter 1
I woke up to find myself in my bed on Earth, sighing in disappointment. It had already been a few months since I last saw Loki and I was still dreaming about our time together.
"Freya!" I heard a voice calling from the other side of my door as they knocked.
Freya was the name Odin told me to use while on Earth. In Old Norse, it means "lady," or "mistress," which fits because our lives make up Norse mythology on Earth, and I am of noble blood among those who reside in Asgard. I supposed that's why he told me to use that name. My real name is Lifa, which means "life" in Old Norse. Now, the only time anyone ever calls me by that name is when I see Loki. Ironically, while Loki is the god of mischief and lies, I am the goddess of virtue and truth. Some call him the god of evil or deceit, and my alternate name is the goddess of goodness and truth.
"Come in, Jane!" I yelled back, hearing the door open as I started my morning routine.
"Freya! You've got to come with me right now!" she exclaimed, bursting into my room while I finished brushing my teeth.
"What are you so excited about?" I asked her. She had a huge grin on her face when I walked out of the bathroom, and frankly, it was freaking me out.
"Some government agency took all of my equipment!"
"And you're excited about that?" I raised a brow.
"You didn't let me finish," she grabbed my hand, pulling me out the door. I barely managed to lock the front door before she pulled me harder toward her van. Once inside, I asked, "Care to finish explaining why you pulled me out of my house before I even got any breakfast?" As she drove, she explained that she had met someone who could help her with her research. She had only met him the night before, when she hit him with her car, but tonight he had taken her to a "satellite crash site" where he got caught by the government.
"And what does this have to do with me?" I inquired.
"Well, Erik went to go get him and then maybe take him out for drinks. I, on the other hand, really want you to meet this guy, so I took this opportunity to come get you," she told me. I only nodded in response and we spent the next half hour catching up on each others' lives to pass the time on the way to her temporary home.
Important AN: This chapter was mostly to set up my story. I promise Loki will appear in the very near future, and I promise the chapters will get longer.
AN OPPORTUNITY: If anyone's interested, you can PM suggestions to me (about my writing style, not the plot, unless I ask for plot suggestions) whenever I post a new chapter. If I like the ideas, I'll use them to edit that chapter and credit you for helping me out. I'm trying to improve my writing style, so I figure this would be a good idea.
