It was the day before the wedding and Loki was going a little mad. He had combed through the entire castle at least twice each day. He was so very tired but he could not and would not give up. He decided to go eat in hopes some nourishment would give him strength. Much to his chagrin Eowyn sat in the great hall. Just when he thought about turning around Eowyn spotted him. "Ahh Prince Loki I have not seen you in days. Please join me. After all tomorrow is our wedding. Loki reluctantly took a seat across from from her. He had not the strength to put up with her so he began to eat. "Well everything is set for tomorrow. Hard to believe this day has finally arrived." That he could not argue so he nodded his head in agreement. Even after eating Loki still felt exhausted so he decided to take a cat nap. Just an hour of sleep is all I need. So he excused himself and was glad Eowyn wasn't more eager for his attention. One hour he thought. Then I will find my love.
Loki awoke to the sun glaring through his window. He panicked when he realized that if the sun was shining through the window that meant it was mid afternoon. He had to of slept for fourteen straight hours. Loki dug his fingers into his head he was so angry with himself. But he refused to give up even at this point. He knew he had to try one last time to get Eowyn to give up. So he rushed himself to her bedchamber. He knocked upon her door and eagerly waited for her to answer. "Your highness it is most inappropriate for you to be here. Not only because we are not married but today is our wedding day and there is tradition!" Loki was growing very tired of her stupidity. "Tradition means nothing at this point. Please let us call off this wedding. Neither one of us wants this." Eowyn stopped with her back to Loki. She was growing very tired of his infatuation with Emma Taylor. "Your highness I do believe your infatuation with Emma must cease. Lust is no reason to call off our wedding. Tradition says you and your brother must marry an Asgardian of your parents choosing." "Well it's a rather stupid tradition. To expect us to marry and mate with women we do not have any interest in." Eowyn decide to stop biting her tongue about Emma. "Your highness you have not even tried to get to know me. So how can you know you can't love me? Just because Emma pleases your body means nothing. Marriage is about so much more." Loki turned to look at her. "I have tried to get to know you. I really tried to like you. But it is utterly impossible. You are so boring and timid. You know I bedded Emma for weeks and yet you still want to marry me." "How would you know if I'm boring or timid?" Loki stepped closer and the tone of his voice became a little more aggressive. "When you would talk to me you hardly said anything. Why try when you just wanted to sit in silence? And let me remind you that when I did try to kiss you you immediately pushed me away! If you where attracted to me even in the slightest you would have reciprocated! But no you were afraid to even kiss your fiancee!" Eowyn could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She was afraid of love. Her parents never were affectionate. "Excuse me that it is difficult to love for me! My parents never cared. As you can see I'm just a chess piece in their game of power. But I have tried to get you to like me!" Loki pitied her for a second but then something clicked in his head. "That's why you are so eager to marry me. You want freedom from your parents! But Eowyn I am sorry I am not that path to freedom. You do nothing for me but cause me stress. You're an annoyance. I'm sorry but I will never be able to love you. Even if Emma wasn't around I still wouldn't want you." Tears flooded down Eowyn's face. She took her face in her hands and tried to gain control of her emotions. "I wanted to be royalty so bad. To be free from everyone. I rather enjoyed the entitlement." "Eowyn that is utterly sad. You would endure a loveless marriage just to be away from your parents? Don't you want your own happiness?" "I do but I don't know how." "I am truly sorry I was cruel with my words." "No I needed that. I want love I really do. But I want to to be natural and consume me." "You will find that one day." Eowyn stood there and knew she had to tell him. But she was afraid with this progress he would truly hate her. "Loki I must tell u something. But please do not be angry. What I did was out of spite and desperation." "What is it?" Although he had an idea where this was going. "I...I told your father about you and Emma. So he charged her with prostitution and locked her in the dungeons." Loki froze with anger. A part of him wanted to strangle her but he let that go. He pitied her jealousy and pathetic desire for power. "Then I must go get her!" As he turned to go Eowyn caught his arm. "Prince Loki you cannot go down there. Your father has guards and they are under orders not to let you, Thor or your mother in there." Loki stopped and tried to think of a way down there. "What will you do?" Loki smiled when he realized what he was going to do. "Dont worry I know how to get down there." He turned and left her room quickly making his way to the dungeons.
