Hey guys, so you get a double update today! I was in a writing mood, so I thought I'd update twice. So here is the next chapter! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I only own my OC
"Sorry to interrupt." He didn't sound sorry in the slightest, "but-" he seemed to finally notice our glares, "never mind."
I turned to Loki and slapped him across the face. I was dimly aware of Thor warning everyone to get out of the room, which they did, but stayed on the other side of the clear wall so they could see. Thor knew what was going to happen, and for once was smart enough to just let it happen.
"What was that for?" Loki yelled, anger blazing in his eyes.
"Why did you let go, huh? Why did you let yourself fall into the Void like that, I thought you were dead!" I yelled.
"You thought I was dead? I thought you were dead for twenty years! After what happened to Tyr-"
"Nothing happened to Tyr! Not what you thought had happened to him! I killed him!"
This seemed to confuse him. "You killed Tyr? But why?"
Something inside me snapped, releasing all of my pent up rage. "Because he lied to me my whole life! He didn't tell me who I was, or what I was, and made me believe my whole life that I belonged in Asgard, when I belong nowhere! My whole life was a lie because of what he did, so I killed him! I killed him when he finally told me the truth! And I don't regret it! Because I'm a monster, Loki, and I had to leave Asgard before you found that out. I couldn't live with myself if you hated me."
This only fuelled his rage. "You think you're a monster? I am a monster! You weren't there when I found out what I was because you had run away from your problems, like you always do, and left me there alone to face the truth. I'm not who you thought I was, Nyx, and I never was!"
"And neither was I! You think just because you're a Frost Giant that you're automatically a monster? What you are doesn't make you a monster, it's what you do! There are far worse races than the Jotun, and I am one of them! Can't you understand that? I had to leave before the whole Realm, and you, turned against me and wanted me dead!" He opened his mouth to speak, but it cut him off. "I am a Demon of the Void, Loki! Remember those? The race that was wiped out by the Aesir, the darkest and most evil race to ever inhabit Yggdrasil? Yeah! Tyr brought me back to Asgard as the last of my kind, as a trophy for the realm, but instead chose to lie to me and brought me up as his daughter! I am the last of my kind, Loki, I belong nowhere. I am the true definition of a monster, after all that I have done, so don't you dare call yourself one!"
There was a pregnant pause, where I struggled to regain my composure and he just stared at me incredulously.
"And what" he said in a measured voice "have you done?"
I sighed, and spoke quietly. I was sick of yelling. "You must know of the disturbances throughout the realms, specifically in Vanaheim. The attacks? The murders? They were all me. After you died I took it out on the universe. On any realm I could, I reigned as much destruction as I could. Eventually I got caught by Aesir, tortured in the dungeons for months, but it was millennia down there. I escaped to Midgard, hiding from Aesir, Vanir and Heimdall for twenty years, and last year I saw you attack New York with the Chitauri, and get sent back to Asgard. I thought you were dead until then, Loki, and when I finally find out you're alive you're getting sent back to Asgard for what could have been the same punishment as mine!" My voice steadily rose.
"That was all you?" He asked quietly. I nodded. "Well what about what I did!? I killed Laufey, tried to destroy Jotunheim, almost killed Thor, almost took over Midgard, and you say that doesn't make me a monster? You weren't there for me when I needed you the most! What happened to the oaths? Staying by each other even through the most trying times? Did you forget about all of that?"
"I never forgot. I told you I needed to get away before you found out what I was! So I killed Tyr and hid in the Void, but I had spies. I knew of everything that happened in Asgard, and I never strayed too far from it! I didn't leave you. I only started attacking Realms after Heimdall confirmed your death. What you did on Asgard was justified, it doesn't make you a monster."
"So you hid away, scared to face your fears, is that right? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, you always were hiding. You know what, you turning up now is the worst thing you could have done! I wish you were dead! At least then I wouldn't have to go through all of this, just because you got yourself caught!"
I couldn't stop the hurt from spreading across my face. He wishes I was dead. He wishes I was dead. Just as his face softened and he opened his mouth to apologise, the hurt on my face transformed into anger and I lunged at him, my magic swirling around me like vipers.
I lunged and knocked him to the floor. Baring my teeth, I brought my fist down and punched him in the face hard enough to break his nose if he were mortal. Since he wasn't, he growled and rolled us over so he was on top. I smirked and teleported, kicking him in the head from behind. He brought himself up to his knees, then shot a burst of magic at me too fast for me to dodge. I ended up crashing against the far wall of the room and landing crouched on the floor.
He laughed. "I have grown in power since you last saw me. It is unwise to pick a fight with me."
I stood and stared him down. "I sincerely doubt you have grown more than I have, Laufeyson. You have no idea what I have been through."
Release the demon within. Your power will increase tenfold.
He shot a burst of magic at me, but I teleported to his left side and unleashed my magic. He seemed surprised that it was black now instead of green, and was smart enough to keep his distance. Tendrils of black magic crawled their way through the air around me, surrounding me, all poised to spring like cobras. I knew my eyes had turned black, black like the void, and black like my Sister in arms' own eyes. I grinned wickedly and blasted my magic at Loki. He managed to dodge most of them, but one got him in the chest and he was thrown against the far wall. I continued to pelt him with magical fireballs until he stopped resisting and just lay there on the floor. Letting my magic recede back into my core, I started walking forwards.
"You have no idea how much power I have now. The void has given me more than I could have ever imagined. You are no match for me, Liesmith. All those years you thought I was dead when really I was becoming more powerful day by day." I was standing right in front of Loki now, who was still on the floor but looking up at me with rage and -was this possible?- fear. I smiled.
And he swung his leg out, knocking me to the floor, but I grabbed his arm and dragged him down with me. I punched him in the gut as he rolled over me, and he grabbed my wrist and twisted it. I screamed in pain and launched another punch at his face, hearing the crack as this time I broke his nose. Blood streaming down his face, he grabbed me and threw me across the room into one of the tables. The impact shattered the table and bruised my shoulder. I teleported behind him and swung a punch at the back of his neck, sending him reeling forwards. He spun at the last second and sent a blow to my chest that cracked at least two ribs. I snarled and swung a roundhouse kick at his side, sending him to the floor, coughing up blood. His nose streaming blood, and with more dripping out of his mouth, he grabbed my neck and pulled me upwards, so my feet were dangling off the ground. Fractured wrist and cracked ribs screaming in protest, I swung myself backwards, then forwards, and kicked him in the stomach with both feet. Landing on the ground in a crouch, I spat blood.
We stood face to face, both bleeding and with broken bones. We just eyed each other, not angrily, but warily. After what seemed like an eternity of this, Loki finally sighed.
"I wouldn't have turned against you if you had told me what you were." He winced and clutched his side. "We're both monsters."
"I should have been there when you found out. I'm sorry." Breathing hurt and my ribs felt like they were on fire. I pushed down the pain.
"Truce?" He stretched out his arm.
"Truce." We grasped forearms.
Where I had locked it up before, I finally let my magic free to heal my wounds. Loki did the same, and within seconds the only evidence of our fight were the bloody clothes and the people still standing dumbstruck outside.
I sighed as they slowly re-entered the room, Thor in front, looking as pissed as ever. The man with the eyepatch looked considering, and the others all had poker faces. I exchanged a wary glance with Loki.
This can't be good.
Has anyone seen the new Marvel film yet? Guardians of the Galaxy? I went to see it a few days ago, and it was AMAZING! The next Marvel film is Avengers 2 though, and that is gonna be the best film ever, even though Loki won't be in it :'(
Please review, let me know what you think.
