This is the last chapter in the story, sad I know. But, I am currently working on an Avengers fic. I am not gonna spoil it though.

Chapter 5

When we landed, we saw that Heimdall collapsed next to the activation point. The Warriors Three and Lady Sif rushed to help Heimdall,

"Get him to the healing room!" Thor ordered as he hurried to exit the Bifrost. "Leave my brother to me"

I rushed to his side. He looked down at me but allowed me to cling to him as we shot up into the sky. It was scary how fast he was zipping down the Rainbow Bridge. And to think he did this every day. He stopped at the entrance of the castle and let me go once we landed.

"We need to go to Father's chambers" I commanded when I set off to the direction of Odin's chambers.

Our running footsteps echoed through the hall as we ran to stop Loki's plans. We heard familiar voices coming from the Odinsleep room so we went to investigate.

"Loki." Thor growled when we stopped at the doors.

"Thor!" Queen Frigga gasped and ran to hug him. "I knew you would return to us.

She released him and went to hug me too. We all looked at Loki as he backed away from us walking down the steps.

"Why don't you tell her how you sent the Destroyer to kill our friends, to kill me?" Thor suggested as the duo circled each other, readying for battle.

"What?" Queen Frigga asked as she looked at Loki. I summoned my spear and stood protectively in front of her.

"Why, it must have been enforcing Father's last command." Loki answered innocently, his weariness poking into my head.

"You're a talented liar, Brother. Always have been." Thor commented. Loki put a hand to his chest as if he was offended.

"It's good to have you back. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to destroy Jotunheim." Loki concluded before he blasted Thor out of the room. I gasped in horror as Thor broke through the wall and fell. I made ready for battle and allowed Queen Frigga to run from the fight. She wasn't a coward, I think she wanted to get everyone else to help.

I charged at Loki and dodged a blast from Odin's spear, Gungnir. I slashed at Loki, but he blocked it. A kick from me sent him flying across the room. He quickly recuperated and jumped up with Gungnir in his hands. Before I could react, he shot me through the wall. I landed with a grunt and couldn't move properly. I saw his feet fly past my vision, but I couldn't do anything to stop him. I groaned in pain as I tried to stand up.

I looked up at Odin in his bed. I growled in anger as my limbs disobeyed me and let me fall back down.

"Please… let me stop Loki…" I whispered to myself, letting the tears finally flow now. "I don't want him to go down this path…"

I roared and forced myself to stand. I wobbled a little bit, but I ignored it and started running. I ran out the exit of the castle and prepared to jump. My legs were still a bit wobbly, but I still jumped. My strength wasn't limited to my arms. I hopped rather high considering my weakened legs. My body flew over the decorative "Hall of Guardians" and I landed a few kilometres away from their fight. I collapsed onto my knees when I landed, the force was little too much for my legs to absorb.

I felt the bridge vibrate under me, so I looked up and saw that Thor was breaking the Bridge. Another feeling filled me, it was the feeling of Odin awaking from the Odinsleep. I looked up to see Thor bringing down Mjolnir on the Bridge. Again I struggled to stand up and the vibrating Bridge didn't help at all. A growl escaped my lips as I forced myself to stand again. But the Bridge finally broke and released a massive shockwave that barely missed me. However, it still blew me a little bit. I saw Thor and Loki fall at the end of the bridge so I forced myself to run as fast as I could. I saw Odin rush next to me, but we both made it to catch Thor's foot.

A sigh escaped me as I held on. I looked down to see Loki dangling off Gungnir. Loki looked up at us while his pride seeped into my body. This caused my vision to blur from the tears.

"I could have done it, Father!" Loki exclaimed to Odin. "I could have done it! For you! For all of us"

I could feel Loki's determination mix with his pride. I allowed the tears to fall down my cheek.

"No, Loki" Odin answered, his sadness swirling into my heart. I gasped as I could feel Loki's anger start to rise in my throat.

"Loki! Don't! I don't want to lose you too!" I tried, not caring if my voice was shaky from all my emotions.

"Loki, no." Thor lamented, his realization causing me to cry even more.

My heart stopped when I saw Loki's hand release Gungnir. I screamed out to him, but holding firmly onto Thor. I was afraid that I would drop him too.

"Loki!" I cried while I watched him fall into the abyss. He looked down and before he was gone, his acceptance of death shot through my heart and brain.

I helped Odin pull up Thor after a few moments of us looking at the place of where the Void swallowed Loki. Thor's arms wrapped around me and Odin. I couldn't bear it anymore, I burrowed my head into his chest and cried too… I had just lost another part of my dearest family…

I didn't want to go to the party that was arranged a few days after the incident. The only thing I did was sit next to Heimdall on the broken Bridge and look to where Loki had fell. I don't know what I was hoping would happen, but I sat there waiting for all this to be a horrible nightmare. And that I would wake up and rush to Loki's room to shake him awake. Of course, none of this came true… and I had to face the harsh reality of being without Loki.

His voice still echoed through my head. It was the words he had spoken when he comforted me on Jotunheim.

"It is alright Kari… I will protect you"

The last sentence continued to echo inside my heart. And made a tear roll down my cheek. I took a deep breath and stood up. I looked to Heimdall and smiled,

"Thank you for bearing my tears"

"Your tears will never cause me to hate you, Kari" Heimdall replied as he looked at me. "your sadness is not a burden to bear"

I nodded and started to walk towards the castle. I entered it and made my trek to the Royal Gardens. I sat on the grass while closing my eyes. All the memories I had with Loki and Thor here, started flowing into my mind. I allowed a smile to cross my face. Loki may be gone… but he will never leave my heart.
