Alrighty! Here is chapter 3, technically because I don't want to include the prologue as a chapter. Warning –spoiler alert – here also, just warning those that have not yet seen Thor: The Dark World. Review, message and comment. I would love the feedback!
The fighting that ensued was more deprived of space than anything else, rebel prisoners weren't a problem for the warriors. It was the apparent invasion of the apparent now - existing Dark Elves. Fandral made his way through the fight, alongside Volstagg. The wisp of his ridicoulsy perfect moustache moving with every slash of his sword. Thunder cracked through prison walls as Thor and Evalith arrived. Shoving one rebel to the wall, Fandral turn another with his arm, "A little bit late don't you think?" Thor slammed Mjlonir into the ground, the noise bellowed through the hall. "Return to your cells and no further harm will come to you." One daring rebel smacked Thor with his mace, and without a flinch Thor retorted, "And now you do not have my word." And the fighting continued. Volstagg bowled over a few prisoners with one swipe and Evalith flung them back into cells with a wave of her hand. One grunt of a man took Evalith by her hair and slammed her into the golden wall of one of the cells. Twisting her hip, one kick to the man's knee cap caused a snap and sent him rolling to the floor. Wiping the sweat off her head Evalith looked up, to see Loki hitting the surface of the cell. "Loki! What's happened, what is going on?" And before an unusually frantic Loki could reply, Evalith was pulled away by Volstagg shouting something about her mother.
Frigga hastily walked and Jane struggled to keep up. "Listen to me carefully, you will do as I say exactly as I say it understood? Odin has never been a good liar" Jane continued to follow Frigga to a chamber, "Yes ma'am" She answered. Upon arriving to the chamber, Malekith and Algrim, now a Kursed were standing by the open cascade. Frigga paced toward him with a blade in her hand, steering Jane back behind her. "If you leave now creature, you may survive this." The city crumbled around them, explosions rang in the air, and fire swam through Asgard. Malekith stepped to the queen, "I have sensed the Aether and you will not stop me." Frigga grinned ever so slightly before lunging toward the Dark Elf, slashing his shoulder and forearm. Frigga spun and was caught by Algrim, who had her throat holding the knife to her back. Satisfied, Malekith turned to Jane, his hand outreached and it went straight through her. An illusion. Cursing, Malekith stormed to Frigga, "Where is she witch?!" Struggling against Algrim she stood her ground, "I'll never tell you''. The Dark Elf's death white eyes agreed, and Algrim plunged the knife into Frigga's back. Blood trickling down her back, her face became ghostly white. The crack of Mjlonir made contact, burning half of Malekith's face before he retreated. And the Queen of Asgard fell.
The Allfather stood on the steps in front of his throne. The creases in his forehead deep with sadness, his one good eye bloodshot. Evalith tried hard to block the energy in the throne room. All she wanted was Loki, seeing him in his cell broke her heart, not being able to hear his voice hurt. And now her mother was gone, she tried to not let the energy from her father and brother affect her. "You're saying we should do nothing?" Thor was beside himself with anger. Odin rubbed his forehead, "We have the Aether and they will come to us!" Evalith couldn't stay quiet, not this time, "And by that time father, the Dark Elves will lay waste to us." Her watery lilac eyes travelled from Thor to the Allfather. Odin turned to his guards, "Keep the mortal under constant watch at all times. There will be no further discussion."
Thor, his warrior three and Evalith sat around the table while Heimdallr placed himself against the brick. The Bifrost was closed on the decree of the Allfather, so there was no need for the guardian to be present on the Bifrost. "You are asking us to commit the highest of treason" Sif was the first to reply after hearing the outlandish idea. Volstagg spoke next, "And, how would you leave Asgard? The Bifrost is closed is it not?" Heimdallr stepped toward the table next to Fandral, "There is one other way, known only to a few." Thor clasped his hands together "It is known only to one to be exact" Volstagg coughed on his grog in disbelief. "You're joking! He wouldn't help you" Fandral brushed his beard with his fingertips. "Thor, please, you know he will betray you" Sif pleaded to Thor whilst receiving a glare that would leave a frost giant petrified from Evalith. "He will try. But this is what we must do" As Thor stood, they all did, in agreement.
"Did she suffer?" Loki sat bloodied due to the destruction of his prison cell. "I'm not here to play these games Loki. We need your secret way out of Asgard." Loki propped his head up from the white wall, trying hard to not look at Evalith for too long. He sneered, "You must be truly desperate, coming to me for help." Thor leaned in close to the force field that contained his brother, "You betray me, and I will kill you" It took all of Evalith's strength not to belt Thor over the head. A grin spread over Loki's face, "When do we start?"
Sif smashed the faces of the guards on the door before kicking it open, "Are you ready?" the jealousy hissed from her lips. Jane sat up from the cushion, feeling relief seeing Thor behind the lady Sif. "Okay, what is going on? Thor where are we going?" Jane walked quickly beside her God of Thunder before they stopped. Loki and Evalith appeared around one of the corners.
"Damn you Loki, why must you be so foolish?" Evalith punched Loki on the arm. Yes she was angry he let go of the Bifrost, leaving her. But no, she couldn't blame him. She loved the God of Mischief after all. He brushed her auburn hair behind her ear, "I'm here now and that's all that matters". Only Evalith knew Loki for what he really was. And by that, she was upset and grateful at the same time. Gently, Loki kissed her on the cheek, "Better make my presence known." Refraining from laughing at his smugness, she followed Loki around the corner.
As they left Sif to deal with the guards, Jane was livid at the fact Loki was joining them. And Evalith tried to keep the atmosphere as calm as possible. "You betray him and I will kill you" Sif reminded the trickster as he merely smiled at her, "Nice to see you to Sif". Thor lead them to the grand hall, were the Dark Elves had crashed one of their ships. Volstagg walked over to Thor, "I will try my best to buy you as much time as possible." Jane bowed her head as she followed Thor and Evalith into the ship. But before Loki could join them, Volstagg placed a heavy hand on the God's chest, "You even think of betraying them and I'll-"Loki shrugged, "What? You'll kill me? Evidently there is a line up." The interior of the ship was cold and harsh and Thor was slamming blindly on different buttons. Outside the guards caught up with them, so Volstagg ensued, swinging his entire body weight and knocking over three guards at time. "Thor, press the buttons gently!" Evalith stood next to her brother, "I am pressing them gently Evalith. See? Gently!" One slam of a button and the ship lifted from the ground, Thor bellowed in triumph while Loki just sighed in embarrassment.
It was of course not the cleanest exit from the castle, "I think you missed a column back there" Loki said sarcastically. "Shut up Loki", Thor swayed as he piloted the ship, knocking over towers as they went. Hands placed outward on either side, Thor concentrated trying not to hit anymore structures. The constant swaying sent Jane fainting, "She's fine I have her!" Evalith caught her just in time. The guards of Asgard, on the orders of Odin, entered into flight pursuit of Thor, Loki, Evalith and the mortal. "You should let me fly the ship, I am clearly the best pilot!" Evalith rolled her eyes at Loki as she held onto Jane. She certainly hadn't missed the arguments between Loki and Thor. "You know they are after us now. And now they are shooting at us!" Thor turned to his brother, "Yes thank you Loki, the commentary is indeed not distracting at all!" Rushing above the water, sky blurred around them.
Evalith joined Loki's side, "Is now okay?" And he knew exactly what his girl was talking about. He thought it was be quite humorous to spring such information on his oaf of a brother now, so he went along with it.
Thor glanced over to the two, standing quite close to each other. Confused at the least.
"Darling, are you sure you wish to share with your dear brother now? Are you sure it is appropriate in this situation?" Loki's grin was pure evil and Thor still stood confused, trying to maintain the centre of the ship.
"What are you both talking about!?" Thor now saw the hand around Evalith's waist. And in that moment, Loki could have sworn the mighty God of Thunder was to faint. "You must be joking!" Thor leaned to the right, hitting the side of the bridge.
Evalith couldn't help but giggle at her only brother. "This is no joke Thor. And technically, he isn't my brother, so it isn't anything to cringe about"
But Thor still cringed in disbelief, "Does that mean you both are… does it mean you have – "
"No you damn oaf! Despite the madness of my flaws, I'm still a gentleman" Was the last thing Loki said before Thor pushed him from the ship. Evalith just stared at her big brother, "Really Thor? Did you have to throw him out?" Content with his actions, Thor picked up Jane who was still unconscious, "We are discussing this later my little sister." Evalith groaned and followed Thor out of the ship. Landing on the small vessel piloted by Fandral, Loki lifted himself up, "Never were graceful were you Loki?" Fandral laughed as he veered the ship to the left toward the mountain range. Thor carefully placed Jane down onto the ship before joining Fandral. "Are you ready my friend?" Fandral nodded hesitantly and grabbed the rope, "For Asgard!" Then he disappeared, swinging underneath the vessel, ploughing onto another full of guards.
"Now Loki, show us your way out of here" Thor moved Loki to the back of the ship. Grasping the wheel, Loki sent them straight into the direction of the mountain. "Are you mad!?" Thor held Jane closely, not believing what his brother was about to do. Loki took Evalith by the waist, "A little bit" His mischievous smile directed toward the gap in the mountain.
