Everything was silent in my room that morning. I rather enjoyed it as I woke up. It greeted me, with its glorious solitude. I stretched and sat up, smiling. I still had memories of last night, which nibbled at my brain. It was a good kind of feeling though. I enjoyed it. I was about to stand up and begin my daily routine, when a knock sounded at my door. I didn't get a chance to answer it, for a figure had barged into my room. It was Fury. His face was sweating from anxiety and fear as he stared at me.336Please respect copyright.PENANA3FemXduTxg
"We need to evacuate the ship, now!" he said, grabbing my arm to pull me outside.
"Why?" I asked, worried. Fury looked at me, curiously.
"One of the ships turbines has been stopped, and another one will surely be broken," he stated, urgently. "Head to the back side of the ship. It will tip the opposite way and you prop yourself up, you hear me?" He shoved me away, running back to the control room. I quickly ran in the direction he had pointed to, feeling the wires crack beneath my steps. I heard rumbling downstairs. I wondered what it was, probably the engines failing. I kept running passed the control rooms, which had anxious people in each square room. As I looked at the walls, I noticed the prisoners block. I saw Thor inside of the glass cage, looking quite frightened. I gasped as he disappeared, along with the cage. I threw the door open, running inside. What I was going to see next would change my mind, my life, and my soul. I saw a figure, slouched on the ground with a blade through its stomach. I squinted my eyes, then very girlishly, I screamed. The figure was Phil, and blood was pouring out of his wound. His lips were caked in crimson as his eyelids flickered. He tried to turn his head towards me, but he groaned with pain. I ran to his side, kneeling and trying to stop the blood from coming out of his open wound. My eyes were leaking tears as I watched Phil cringe with never ending pain.
"A-Amelia," he croaked, his eyes rolling backwards. He looked down at the gun in his lap, then at the hole in the wall. I titled my head, but stayed by my cousin. "R-run..he's…he-e…" He coughed lastingly. I stood up, staring at the hole. I walked over to it, ignoring Phil's orders to come back. I looked through and gasped, lying on the ground was Loki. His eyes fluttered open at the sound of my gasp and lifted his head. He gave me a crooked smile and sat up.336Please respect copyright.PENANABuAueYPru4
"Hello," he said, brushing the gravel from his hair. "I was just leaving." He stood up quickly, walking out of the hole. He gave Phil a nasty look, which made me clench my fists in anger. "Pity. Pity I killed him."
"YOU PROMISED!" I exploded, grabbing a hold of my dagger. "YOU PROMISED PHIL WOULDN'T DIE!" Loki stared at me, occasionally glancing at my dagger. He bit his lip, almost speaking. His face was sad, but full of darkness.
"…I don't keep promises," Loki stated, looking at me, pitifully. I clenched my teeth, holding up the dagger, menacingly.
"Everyone keeps their promise," I hissed. "You'll see! One day you'll get what you deserve, you rat! I could kill you because of this!" Suddenly without any warning, Loki grabbed me around the waist and he did the unusual, especially for this time. He kissed me, lightly. I pulled away, giving him the weirdest look I could. He just smirked, holding me for a second.336Please respect copyright.PENANAbY6ySVsBEl
"That's all I need. A girl, whom I dearly love, to tell me that she is going to kill me…wow. I am surprised," Loki whispered, smiling gently. "You are mine, by the way." He slung me over his shoulder, grabbing the dagger and placing it in his belt. I fisted his back, hard. He didn't budge. He kept walking. Phil was moving, trying to move the gun to point it at Loki again. Sadly, I waved at Phil, knowing that this would be the last time I saw my dear cousin. Tears flooded my eyes as Loki walked down the hall, which was free from people, and out onto the deck. There was a helicopter waiting for him, and whatever else was with him. I was placed on a chair, immobilized from seeing my cousin dying. I was done for. I didn't want anything else in the world, unless it was death. I crossed my arms over my chest and pulled my knees up to my chin. Tears gently rolled down my cheeks as the liftoff began. I didn't watch outside, or inside.336Please respect copyright.PENANAooMChtIgze
I stared at nothing, only feeling emptiness inside. Loki had betrayed me, and I bet he couldn't help it. He was evil, and nothing could change that. I stopped, thinking about the last thing I had just considered. Maybe I could change it, and stop this war before it got bad. It would be impossible, but I had to do it for Phil. He was the only thing that would keep me from doing this. Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice Loki sit down next to me. He watched me, and then sighed. That's what got my attention that he was there, but I still pretended he wasn't there. Loki gently reached for my cheek, swiping a tear from my cheek. I turned my head to him, watching him stare oddly at it. He looked back at me, his eyes narrowing in confusion.336Please respect copyright.PENANADCfjYuPQnz
"Why do you cry?" he asked, softly. I turned away, trying not to get lost at staring at him. I couldn't help it though. His voice was so kind and caring, but still had that seductive purr to it.
"I cry because you killed my cousin," I replied, biting my lip with anxiety. He scooted closer to me, so that our bodies touched. I watched out the window, pretending that outside was much more entertaining than him.
"Can you at least look at me?" Loki asked, leaning forward so that I saw his beautiful face. I closed my eyes, and couldn't help but smirk. He grinned, placing his arm around my shoulders. "You are so stubborn." I raised an eyebrow, gently pushing his arm away. I still wasn't ready for his affection.
"Not yet," I murmured, shaking my head. He looked sad, and then quietly placed his hands in his lap. I looked at him again, frowning slightly. I did want his love, badly. I threw my arms around him without thinking. Loki laughed gently, hugging me to him.
"I knew you'd come around," he smirked, stroking my hair back as I buried my face into his chest. I didn't know what had gotten into me, but I felt protected and loved with him. No one else was safe around him, but I felt I was. I decided to bring this subject up, since my mind was wondering.
"Loki?" I asked, pulling myself into his lap. "..Will you protect me? Do you really love me?" Loki smiled at me, taking in a deep breath.
"I will protect you with my own life," Loki answered. "And yes, I really, really, really do love you." I smiled brightly, leaning my head into the crook of his neck. I never wanted to forget this moment, but then, Phil's dead face flashed through my mind. I cringed, my eyes watering for a second. Loki seemed to notice, for he had begun to stroke my hand with his thin fingers.
"Why did you have to kill Phil though?" I wondered out loud, sighing deeply from the pain I was witnessing. Loki paused for a second, staring out the window.
"..He…I really don't know," Loki admitted, shaking his head. "I don't know why. I felt an urge…I never wanted to hurt you. I would kill myself to learn if you have died." I looked at him, oddly.
"But…you did hurt me," I mumbled, shaking my head as I found this confusing.
"…Oh…I'm so sorry," Loki muttered. I leaned my head against him, letting out a sigh.336Please respect copyright.PENANAuDOpnyd9b7
"I'm sorry," I muttered.336Please respect copyright.PENANAulidtRXJWY
"You have no reason to be sorry, dear," Loki said, smiling gently. "It's my entire fault." I sighed deeply, deciding to stop talking and just to enjoy this moment as long as it was going to last. I closed my eyes, dreaming about Phil and me sharing a last, wonderful moment again before he'd disappear. I wasn't prepared to loose him, but I had to let the dead go. He'd remain in my heart, forever.336Please respect copyright.PENANACOxCPW7qXQ
