Scars(15)

Chapter 15: somewhere else

Warning: fluff

Loki knew what he was about to do would no doubt get him sent back to Asgard and his cell if someone were to catch him. And Alice would be sent back to her cage if her Father were to find out. That is to say, his following action, if caught, would have dire consequences for both of them. If it came down to it, he would say her brainwashed her and freed her from consequences.

He left his room and headed toward the stairs suddenly, all the lights went off, and then they flickered back on. Taking that as his cue, he ran up the stairs to Alice's floors. The door to her floor had a special lock, but thanks to a bit of magic, it was unlocked. Coming inside, he went straight to her room. Taking a deep breath, he knocks.

The door swings open to reveal a surprised Alice " What are you doing here?" she whispers shouts, looking down both ends of the hall as if someone else was there.

"would you like to go somewhere else?" he asks, ignoring her first question.

"What?!"

"would you like to go somewhere with me?"

"...okay," although she still seemed confused.

"do you trust me?"

She nods "Yes, of course"

He takes her hands in his and smiles. And in a blink, they were on a beach. Alice gasped, looking around, she was no longer in her room. She looks around to see grass and trees behind her and sand and water in front of her. She feels the sand under her toes and the wind in her hair, something she thought she'd never feel.

She takes a deep breath. "this, this, this -"

"This is a beach"

"Beach, Beach... ha ha ha, It's the beach, it's real," she started to laugh "It's the beach."

Still holding her hands, he begins to lead her toward the water. He gasps as the water runs over her bare feet." It's cold." Her grin was so big he was sure it hurt.

Letting go of Loki's hand's hand she began to wade further in the water coming past her knees and soaking her pants.

"I point I didn't think they were real," he looked at her, confused " Beaches When I was little, I didn't think they were real. I only read about them and saw them on tv. I never saw them myself."

"What made you think they were real?"

"One day, my father came home with sea shells and pictures. Telling me stories about the beach, disclosing that he lived not too far from a beach but owned and preferred his pool... I've never seen his house, he says a bad guy leveled it. He says I was born there."

Apparently, Alice had been an at-home birth. She had spent all her infancy there and that time with her mother there. She didn't remember anything of it. She barely remembered her mother. Faded memories here and there. But that house was their beginning, and now it was gone along with her mother.

"Thank you," she said, coming closer to the shore where Loki stood dry aside from his boots, " For bringing me here and being my friend. My first Friend."

Loki said nothing and wrapped his arms around her. And pulled her close and squeezed her tight. " and you mine."

They sat down on the sand and watched the sunset. As the orange light shined off the rippling water lowered, and the moon arose glimmering over the water in a way that outdid all the diamonds Alice had.

"it's beautiful"

With two fingers under her chin, he tilted her head back and showed her the sky. To show that the diamonds in the water were actually the stars in the sky.

She gasped, and Loki pretended not to see her tears.

Loki returned them to the tower sometime later. Teleporting them into her room, he wishes her a well rest and leaves her to change out of her damp and sandy clothes and ready for bed.

It isn't until Loki makes it to his floor that he allows himself cripple legs buckling under the exhaust. Due to his magical restraints, it was far more difficult to teleport long distances. Although teleporting from one realm to the next always tired him to some extent it never brought him to his knees and this was a shorter distance than that, more of a walk. He cursed his father for this punishment.

Standing up, Loki leaned on the wall for support as he struggled to his room, his bracelets burning and weighing him down as punishment for his use of magic.

But as much as he cursed his father, as much as it pained him. It was all worth it as long as she got to see somewhere else.
