Alright, so I'm writing this fic mainly for my really good friend who is equally as obsessed about Loki as I am. I am really apprehensive to write his character though since he goes through such a vast change between Thor and The Avengers, so here's a little run down of how his character development is going to go.
At first, before things from the Thor movie happen, he will be how I would think Loki would act. He hasn't lost his sanity or gone to desperate measures to be in control of something. He is not lost yet. I plan on going through the transition of how he becomes the Dark Loki we have all grown to love. However, if you have input on how I am portraying him, good or bad please let me know, I just stress that right now, he won't be like the Loki from Thor, yet. With that I really hope you enjoy the Fic :) Also, this fic will be starling Pre-Thor and going until Post-Avengers. It will be awhile till I get there but still thought it would be noteworthy :)Chapter One
I had been summoned by Odin to appear before him on a private meeting. I had no idea what it was to be about, but no demi-god, or even a god for that matter, would refuse council with Odin. I heard the noise my shoes made on the golden floor as I walked towards Odin sitting on his throne. "All-father." I said to him before I bowed down on my knee. "Please stand Vayle, Daughter of Vor." I stood at his command, but still kept my gaze from his. Something about this meeting put me on edge. "Please look at me child. I wanted you here in hopes we could become allies." Well at least I know he isn't lying. There was bitterness to that thought though. "What have I done to be given such honor, my king?" Oh the formality of this place drives me insane! He smiled brimly at me; it was obvious to anyone that he assumed I was on board with whatever he had planned for me by now; not like I had much choice in the matter. "As you may know, my son Loki can be a…bit troublesome." That's the understatement of the millennium. I thought in between sentences. "I need someone to keep him out of trouble. I love my children Vayle; I do not want to see them thrown out of their home." There was a sense of sadness if what he said and I felt my heart hurt slightly for him. He truly did love his children, I didn't see why though. Thor was an ogre, strong but stupid. He acted like the bully in the playground, rushing into battle and winning arguments with wars. Loki on the other hand was cunning, smart but very mischievous and dangerous. You could never trust him, even when he was kind, because everyone knew he was really just manipulating you to get something he wanted. Neither of them was fit to be king for when Odin would step down, all of Asgard knew it, they were just too afraid to think it. How would I spy on Loki though? Before I could put more thought into it, Odin spoke and caused me to lose my train of thought. "I will have you brought in to live among the royal ladies of court. You will live here until you are close enough to Loki that he will be willing to travel to see you. I have a room ready with more…" Odin looked me over; I had to hide the fact that it made me feel slightly uncomfortable. "…suitable for court." I nodded and gave him my thanks. He pointed at two guards to escort me to my room but before I left he called out to me. "Oh and Vayle, we will be having more friendly chats I hope. I would love to hear what my son is up to." I heard the smile in his voice but I could feel the venom behind every word. He was lying and I knew it. We walked more golden halls, and more and then some more golden halls after that. You would think they would at least have an accent color besides MORE gold. I'm going to go blind in this place before I even see Loki, or worse! I won't be able to feast on their delicious food. We arrived to our destination, my room, which was far more than I expected. I was hoping for what I had at home. A plain room with paintings of great wars, soft sheets and a dresser to hold clothes, but this room was grander than my old home put together. The room we walked into was a sitting room; it was decorated with lavish couches and tables. Gold accessories were placed on any surface you could find; it would be obvious to a blind man how much these people love gold. I thanked the guards for escorting me here. They returned my thanks with a polite bow and they left me to discover my new place of refuge. Past the sitting room, there was a bedroom that was only parted by a thin sheet of silk. Running it through my hands, I felt how soft it truly was… I could only hope that my bed had the same fabric on it as well. "May we assist you Miss?" I jumped at the sweet voice behind me. I turned to face the origin of the sound. I looked down at a girl who was about 3 inches shorter than myself; she had blonde hair and was seemed too bubbly for her own good. I didn't notice that I was staring at her until she spoke again. "May we assist you Miss?" this time the question was more drawn out, she was talking to me as if I was stupid. Her question was genuine though…I could only assume the half-witted people they had staying in these chambers. I cleared my throat. "Who are you?" They looked perplexed by this question, as if the answer was obvious. "We're your hand-maiden, miss. We were summoned here by Odin to help you adapt to court life." I scoffed at the idea. I have been taking care of myself since I could remember! I didn't need people at my hand and foot, making sure I looked pretty and presentable. "We're sorry if we offended you miss, we just want to help you." This was the other handmaiden I was given, I felt the lies behind what she said; there was nothing that I hated more than liars. "Don't lie to me, you stupid child. Do you not know who I am? I am a daughter of Vor, the all-knowing goddess. I can tell when people lie or try to deceive me, so if you are to be in my service you better learn that quickly." My words were like venom to her innocence, slowing eating away at it. When I finished speaking she looked like she would cry or hit me; either way I did not care. "Leave me. " I spat as I turned my back on her. I heard them both leave but I stopped them before that. "No, one of you stays." Thankfully the girl that I yelled at earlier knew she wasn't the one I wanted to have in my company. Turning around to look over my new handmaiden, I found a sense of relief. At least I won't have to act like a high-end prick on my own. I have someone I can be myself with. I let out a sigh. "What's your name?" I asked with no emotion behind it. She seemed startled by my voice; I obviously scared her…poor thing. "My name is Mira, Miss." I nodded, looking her over one last time. She was average height for a woman but there wasn't much to her. Her hair was blonde and she had sky blue eyes…a true hidden beauty. "Did Odin inform you of anything?" I heard her swallow. She shook her head; I was tired of this meek attitude. I felt my mouth set in a firm line. "Enough of your meek attitude!" I snapped. She cringed and I cursed myself for losing my composure. I gestured for her to sit and then I sat myself. "I'm sorry Mira; I don't do well in these…situations. I'm not a lady or a highborn; isn't it obvious by my rash actions." Thankfully this got a smile out of her. Not all hope is lost with this one. "If you wish to serve me well then there will be rules." She nodded slowly, still not making a sound. I nodded as well. "Alright." I paused for a second before continuing "Okay good. Well, first of all, you will have to call me milady, not miss. Secondly, never lie to me, but I can only assume you understand that already?" I stopped, allowing her time to respond but when she did not take it, I continued. "You will have to help me dress; I like blue, green, silver and gray clothes. If you have some splash of bright color that's fine, but confirm with me before you get a dress made. Once I know you have good taste in clothes, you can get dresses for me as you please." She seemed more interested in the topic of clothing, her disposition changed from a scared child to the bold woman that she was before she walked into my room. "If you do your part and this façade stays in place then I will work on my anger. I just have…issues dealing with weak people. Not saying that your weak just don't cower in front of me." She seemed scared again, I obviously did not explain myself properly. "You're worth more than that Mira. Don't let these highborn fools act like they own you." She looked up at me shocked at my words. I raised an eyebrow and put my hand up before she could say anything. "No. Don't thank me or ask questions. Come," I got up, walking towards my room. "Dress me." Mira followed me like a puppy. I wanted to be annoyed with her, but I wasn't able to. She was innocent and obviously scarred from something or someone who was angry. When she produced the most gorgeous dress I had ever seen in my lifetime, I gasped and walked towards it, letting my hands run through the fabric. It was a long silk gray dress with sheer fabric over it but when Mira moved it around in the light, it shimmered black, pale green and gold. It was truly breathtaking. She placed a white slip under my dress, making it so you couldn't see my nipples and bush. "We may have to do something about that milady. Men here like a girl clean shaven." I sighed. "Later. I don't plan to be in anyone's bed for a while." Mira let out a small giggle as she wrapped a belt around my waist. I raised my eyebrow at her. "You think I plan on being in someone's bed that quickly?" I saw her cheeks turn rosy and she shook her head vigorously. "No, not at all milady. Please don't think I thought that was your intention at all… it's just… not many women of court think like you is all." I studied her expression, my glare piercing her and I knew it. I bit the inside of my cheek, bringing me out of my rage. "Mira, stop." Mira dropped the fabric like it was hot coals, placing her hands up in the air. She took two steps back and looked at me, tears forming in her eyes. "Tch, stop that. Don't cry. Please, sit down. I want to talk." I forced her to sit down; she was gulping back tears, trying to not cry. "Who did this to you? I see when you're happy; I saw it when you were dressing me. Yet if I command something of you, you cower like a scared animal. Tell me what cause such a transition…" Mira looked up at me; it was obvious she was not used to such kindness from others, something I could resonate with. "It was the person I worked for previously. Once he came back from a dinner drunk, his brother and him got into a quarrel and he wanted someone in his bed that night. He forced me in there, against my will and ruined me for marriage. I will be stuck being a hand-maiden for the rest of my life." Mira started to bawl. I was speechless, what kind of low-life ruins a woman's future just because he wants something to fuck? That kind of man should be shown to the stables so next time he can fuck a pig instead. I looked as Mira cried in front of me, but I couldn't do anything. "It's okay Mira, just breathe. Who did this to you? I could pay a visit to him and ruin his man-hood. Make him suffer." Mira looked up at me frightened and started to cry harder. Oh great…. "You…. You can't." she said through whimpers. "That man was Loki, son of Odin. You would be killed if you did anything like that to him." I froze in place. Blind rage came over me; I knew that I hated this man for what he did. I felt someone smack me across the face, my eyes shot open and I was in shock. I glared up at the person who slapped me and I saw Mira, looking more frightened than before. "You… were muttering and… you really have an anger issue." I laughed and rubbed the back of my neck, not knowing what to do. "I do… I'm sorry. The thought just makes me so angry!" Before I could say anything else, Mira interrupted me. "It's time for you to go to dinner milady. You don't want to be late." I nodded and got up with haste. Mira did some final touches before letting me go try to find the dining hall. I opened the door and saw a tall man standing before me. He had a pale complexion, his hair was black and slicked back and he was draped in fine leather. "May I help you?" I asked in the most polite manner ever. I heard Mira squeal a little and leave to another room. This can't be good then. The man turned to look at me and smiled. He seemed kind and nice, but something about him reminded me of a venomous snake. Something about this man screams dangerous… "Yes!" He exclaimed, flashing a very charming smile. I felt my stomach flutter, but I had to ignore it. "I am looking for Vayle; I am to escort her to dinner as per my father's request." I couldn't help put let my brow furrow. Who would send their son to get me, nobody knows who I am or that I'm even here… unless their Odin's son and this man is no Thor… "You're Loki?" The man bowed in front of me. "At your service, now can we go to dinner?" All the anger from earlier came over me. I wanted nothing more than to slam the door in his face, but this is what I was here for, to spy on this man. I have to be nice… I repeated in my head as I forced smile. "It would be a pleasure." Saying those words were like swallowing knives. I took his arm and we walked the halls in silence. I was gnawing on the inside of my cheek to stop myself from going into a blind rage. "How do you like it so far, being in the home of Odin as a guest?" Loki had a genuine curiosity, I could tell. He wasn't giving small useless banter, I was honestly shocked. It took me a second to notice that I hadn't answered and that he was staring at me. "It's pleasant. I haven't really met anyone yet except for the All-Father and the two hand-maidens that I was given… but I told one to leave." Loki's eyebrow rose, posing the question itself. "I didn't like her. She didn't care to be there so I didn't want her to waste both of our time." Loki laughed "No slave wants to be with their master all the time." Loki stopped moving and looked at me, taking my chin in one hand. He was so delicate, graceful and charming. I felt myself blush slightly. "You just have to show them the reason why they want to be with you." I pushed away from Loki at that point. I was furious again. Just like you showed Mira… I started to walk forward, hoping I would find my way. I heard Loki chuckle and catch up with me. "Did I do something to offend you?" He stood in front of me now, smiling his charismatic smile, like always. "Not me, but you have offended and hurt others that I care about." I stared at his eyes, not dropping his gaze. "So in a way yes, you have offended me. The worst part is I know you don't care." He wore a frown. "Of course I care if I offend someone. This is my home; I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable in my home." Lie. I scoffed and started to walk past him. Loki grabbed my arm and hissed into my ear. "I will only tolerate so much subordinance, you don't want to make me angry Vayle… especially just as we're starting to get to know each other." At least he was speaking truthfully and showing me his real colors. I smiled and turned to face him. "And I can only tolerate so much lies and acts of deceit Loki, so let's see who runs out of patience first." I looked ahead, I could see the excitement dance in Loki's eyes and I didn't like it. "You aren't like the majority of women who come into this place, are you Vayle?" My lips were set in a hard line, not sure how to take what he said. Of course I'm not you stupid oaf! You would think his father would tell him why I was here! I felt stupid for my thoughts right as they finished. He wouldn't tell him that I'm here to spy on him. "Well your father told you why I'm here right?" Loki shook his head. "Honestly, no he did not. When father doesn't tell you something, it's because he doesn't see you fit to know. I was just told to make sure you knew your way around and didn't get lost. I was expecting a half-wit woman who wanted to be with my brother to be honest." I let myself smile. As I expected, most people who come and go form this place are stupid. I felt sad for Loki though, the usually masterful and cunning man was clueless to the true intentions of me being here. "Well, shall we get going to dinner?" I asked but Loki just shook his head. "Not yet. I want to show you somewhere first." He grabbed my hand to my surprise and we evaporated into thin air.I hope everyone enjoyed it. Let me know what you think in Review's or PM's! I love hearing from everyone :)
