"Where are you going?" Kaleria was reaching out to Loki as he walked down the bridge of the Bifrost. The stars above them moving rapidly as though time were speeding up yet they still remained the same. "Loki!" She called to him, but he continued to walk. Kaleria felt as though her body was running in slow motion as she tried to run after him, yet not catching up to him as they walked the rainbow bridge.
When Loki reached the end, Kaleria could hear muffled speaking as she came closer. She discovered it was Loki talking to someone. Kaleria walked closer to see who Loki was talking to; the figure became clearer to her and she was able to see Heimdall. As Kaleria walked closer she was able to make out more of the conversation between the two.
Something was wrong; she was close enough to see the anger in Heimdall's eyes. Heimdall lifted his sword, about to strike Loki. Kaleria reached out, shouting. "Loki, look out!" As Kaleria ran forward to try and stop the attack, she quickly halted in her steps as she stared in horror. A blue frost came from Loki and began to freeze Heimdall's body completely. Heimdall was unable to move as he stood frozen before Loki.
Loki then turned around to face Kaleria, his skin blue and eyes glowing red. Kaleria screamed…
Kaleria woke with a start. Her body covered in a cold sweat as her chest rose and fell rapidly. She was breathing rather harsh as she looked around the dark room. "A dream?" She panted as she put a hand to her chest. "It was only a dream…" She repeated as her eyes fixed across the room to see her wardrobe caught fire. "Oh no!" She hissed as she waved her hand to subdue the flames. The damage was already done however; the wardrobe was now charred completely.
Kaleria just sighed as she placed her head in her hands. She was unsure what her dream meant, if it even meant anything at all. Whatever the case may be… it frightened her. Why and how did Loki freeze Heimdall, and why was Loki's skin blue and eyes red? What did this mean?
Kaleria climbed out of bed, returning to sleep would be impossible for her now. She left her room, and headed to a place she never thought she would ever go to…
She knocked lightly at first, hearing no answer from inside. Her next knock was a little more profound, causing a stir from the other side. She knocked once more, hearing shuffling to the door before the door opened harshly. "You better be on fire to be bothering-"Loki stopped as he realized who was knocking. "Well, you being on fire would most definitely not be anything to worry about." He sighed. "To what do I owe the pleasure of you waking me up so late this evening?"
"I had a nightmare." Kaleria said as her eyes narrowed.
"And this nightmare warranted you to wake me up?"
"It was about you." She continued stiffly as she looked him up and down, realizing he was shirtless. Her eyes immediately focused to something else.
"Well whatever it is, I did not do it." Loki replied, rubbing his temples. "Can't this wait until morning?"
"No." Kaleria replied. "I can't sleep now."
"So now this means I cannot sleep?"
"You don't have ice powers, do you?" She asked abruptly, catching Loki off guard.
"You are out of your mind." Loki just chuckled. "Truly, you are." Kaleria crossed her arms over her chest as she watched Loki carefully. "You should go back to bed."
"I can't now." Kaleria sighed. "It really was an upsetting dream."
Loki sighed as he looked outside his room for any signs of life. He then looked at Kaleria. "Well come in, I'll help you go to sleep."
"Now who is the one out of their mind?" Kaleria replied. "It's not proper."
"I would not mind a few death glares from your sister if it means I can sleep." Loki stepped aside, making room for Kaleria to come in. "Now get in here." Kaleria eyed him suspiciously but found herself entering his chambers anyway. Loki's room was much bigger than hers; the bed was almost double the size of hers. She looked around the room at how neat it was and well kept. "You can stare at it in the morning, get into bed." Loki said as he motioned to the bed.
"Can you at least put a shirt on?" Kaleria asked.
Loki scoffed. "You're bossing me around in my own chambers, how cute." Loki brushed passed Kaleria and lied down on his bed. "You can scold me in the morning for how I decide to dress in my chambers. For now, can we please sleep?" Kaleria hesitated at first before finally climbing into bed with Loki, making sure to stay as far away from him in the bed. Loki just grinned as he moved a little closer to Kaleria, who was practically on the edge of the bed. "You can move closer." Loki added.
"I think we're breaking enough rules as is, Odinson."
Loki just laughed. "Fine then, goodnight Kali."
Kaleria stared at the far most wall in front of her as she curled up slightly. She still was feeling uneasy about her nightmare, and was really unsure why she came to the person that was in her nightmare. What was she thinking? "Loki?" She asked softly.
Loki groaned. "You really are not going to sleep, are you?"
"I ignited my dresser on fire." She stated.
Loki snorted. "The dream was really that disturbing?"
"You froze Heimdall."
"Well I do not have that kind of gift, so do not worry your pretty little mind over it."
Kaleria was silent for a moment before adding. "He tried to kill you… you were going to die…" She breathed a sigh.
"Worried about me dying, Kali?" Loki said half teasing. "I promise you I can handle myself." Kaleria was quiet once more. Was that all she was worried about with this dream? Was she blinded? As her mind began to wander to more unsettling thoughts she felt a hand creep around her stomach. She was completely oblivious to Loki moving closer to her. Before she could protest, she found herself oddly enough at ease as she felt his breath on the back of her neck. He was so closer to her and for the rest of the night… she felt safe… even in the arms of the man she dreamt was a monster…
Kaleria's eyes fluttered open slowly, her mind processing her surroundings. She remembered coming to Loki's chambers last night to yell at him for a dream she had; how ridiculous that sounded to her now. Kaleria then felt Loki move behind her, his arm draped over her stomach lazily, his body flat up against her back. His temperature was cold, but the cold felt wonderful against her.
"Good morning." He said sleepily into her red hair.
Kaleria felt her lips curl into an unwilling smile as she responded. "Morning, Loki."
"I take it as you slept well?" Loki asked with a teasing tone. "Nothing seems to be on fire."
Kaleria shoved her elbow into his stomach, rolling over to look at him as he laughed. "That's not funny."
Loki grinned as he hid the pain in his stomach. "It is quite funny indeed."
Kaleria just rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry for waking you up this morning." Kaleria admitted. "It was stupid of me."
"It is no problem at all, Kali. I must say I enjoyed how things turned out." He winked, arrogance filling his voice.
Kaleria scoffed. "This isn't happening again."
"So you say." Loki shrugged. "Tomorrow night, let's say same time, but this time let's go to your bed."
"Loki!" Kaleria hissed before grabbing her pillow and hitting him with it. "You are so irritating."
Loki grabbed the pillow, forcing it out of Kaleria's hands before rolling on top of her. "Yes, but you clearly enjoy it. Why else would you come to my chambers late in the night?"
"To yell at you." Kaleria glared.
Loki lowered himself closer to Kaleria so that he was only mere centimeters from her lips. "Then why did you stay the night?"
Kaleria swallowed hard. "You weren't awake enough to yell at." She lowered her eyes, remembering that Loki still was shirtless. She quickly returned her attention to his face, narrowing her eyes. "You also didn't put a shirt on!" Kaleria tried to change the subject.
"Why should I? I like how red your face turns when you look at me." Loki laughed as Kaleria pushed him off her. Loki propped himself up on his elbow as he looked Kaleria, she tried to avoid his gaze awkwardly as she sat up in bed. "You try so hard to avoid me, why?"
"I'm next to you now, aren't I?" Kaleria replied.
Loki gave her an unamused look as he sat up, crisscrossing his legs as he looked at her. "You're still uncomfortable with me?"
Kaleria sighed, looking away. "No." She felt her body becomes slightly deflated. "I'm uncomfortable with myself."
"You shouldn't be." He said reassuringly. "You're perfectly fine." She didn't respond. "Well, do you care to tell me more about your dream then?"
"It was dumb." Kaleria began. "Heimdall tried to kill you and you froze him."
"Is that all?" Loki pressed on.
"No." Kaleria sighed. "You turned to me and your skin was blue and your eyes were blood red."
Loki tried to stifle a laugh. "It does sound ridiculous, Kali."
"See?" Kaleria groaned as she grabbed another pillow, covering her face with it and falling backwards onto the bed. "I told you it was dumb." She mumbled into the pillow.
Kaleria felt the bed move as Loki came closer to her, lying down next to her on his side and removing the pillow to look at her. "As silly of a dream it was…" He began as Kaleria looked at him nervously. "I'm glad you chose me for comfort."
Kaleria narrowed her eyes slightly, but smiling as she spoke. "I told you… I came to yell at you."
"And you are doing a marvelous job at it." Loki laughed.
Kaleria rolled over to face him equally now, her eyes wandering slightly as she really looked at him. "We are going to be in so much trouble for last night."
"You assume people will find out." Kaleria rolled her eyes at his signature grin.
"Your mischief will be my demise, Loki."
"Perhaps." He smiled genuinely. "Perhaps your stubbornness will be mine."
Kaleria returned the smile as she shifted closer to Loki, burying her head in his chest and catching him off guard. Loki placed his hand in Kaleria's red locks, brushing through it gently as she snuggled close to him. "Do not let this go to your head…" She began. "But your body feels really nice against mine."
Loki laughed. "And how do you expect that to not go to my head?"
"I mean temperature…" She replied. "Your body is so unbelievably cool."
"And yours is wonderfully warm." Loki then joked. "Maybe I do have ice powers."
Kaleria frowned. "Not funny."
Loki chuckled. "Well, then we are meant for destruction." Kaleria looked up at him in confusion. "Fire and Ice."
Kaleria rolled her eyes. "Then let's enjoy our downward spiral."
Loki just smiled as he leaned forward to kiss Kaleria on the forehead. "I like living in chaos with you."
"It gives me a headache." Kaleria teased.
"It's not meant to be easy." Loki replied with a smirk.
"Then I'm glad you make my life difficult." Kaleria sighed peacefully before laughing as Loki raised a questioning brow. "We are disgusting."
"Very." Loki purred as rolled over on top of Kaleria once more. He looked down at her, her smile fading slightly as she returned the glace. He knew she was his, even though Kaleria could not see it yet. He closed the gap between them, placing gentle yet needy kisses to Kaleria's lips. He would leave her with desire, a desire that would grow and consume her better judgment. All he needed to do was wait. Loki pulled away from Kaleria and slowly rolled off of her, leaving her breathless. "Come, we need to pretend you were never here." Kaleria lied there for a moment before nodding as she rolled out of bed after Loki, eyeing him carefully from across the room. Kaleria felt a fear crawl up her spine as she realized in that very moment, as she eyed her mischievous partner, chaos would consume them. This terrified her.
Final Thoughts: Is Kaleria seeing the future? Is her nightmare a lingering fear? Is she justified in being afraid? Only way to find out is to review! Thanks again for reading!
