If we were common people...

Sigyn watched a Niflilly in her garden, her eyes widened. There is a prophecy. 'When Niflilly grows Vanaheim will regain everything it lost once'. But there is more to prophecy. 'A royal member fell in true love with a prince of a realm, which has no fight with Vanaheim, and Vanirs will learn to love again'.

It means... it means... Prince Aiden?? She loves Prince Aiden truly? and he will be declared new God of love?

She was about to leave garden when she heard shuffling sounds behind bushes. She carefully stepped towards the sound but stop in her tracks when she saw two eyes twinkling with what little light is there in the garden. That man leapt forward picked her up and took her inside the forest. She kept asking him who is he? What does he wants?...

He set her down on the ground. She looked swiftly towards his face and recognized him. "Loki?"

She slowly raised her hands to held his face not believed it's true or real. Her eyes full with tears. "You... you are alive. I cried so much... I...". He covered her hands on his face.

He nodded. "Yes, I am alive. No need to worry. I am here"

"I... I thought you are dead. I had to kill you". She started crying. "I felt so bad... I told you to run away... I felt... ". She hit him lightly in his chest as he embraced her in his arms.

"I know I am sorry but if I hadn't came back everyone would've doubted you because you are the only one who can sneak me out of the castle. But I am sorry for not coming to you sooner. There were guards all over and security is always so tight around you"

She held his collar. Now anger lit up her heart. "I thought you were dead. You saw me crying all these days and did nothing. I was in guilt that I killed an innocent man. I was out of my mind... going around like crazy. I hate you... I hate you". She pushed him away.

He caught her again in tight hold around her waist. "No... no you don't. You cried because you love me. Your heart was feeling the loss of love, Sigyn. Don't think it as guilt. It was love"

She struggled to be freed. "No... no. I don't love you. I love Aiden"

"Really? How do you know that?"

"Because he is the reason that Niflilly...". She stopped. Now she knew that Niflilly is not brought to Vanaheim by Aiden. It was Loki who gave her that. A sudden chill ran through her spine still she tried to ignore it. "Because the curse upon realm is broken because I am in love with Aiden who is a prince of realm who were never enemy of my realm. That's the prophecy. It's true love and I love him"

"Really? Can I tell you that I am actually Laufey's son and prince of Jotunheim. And Jotunheim has no bad relationship with Vanaheim". Looked confidently in her eyes. Daring her to find some other excuse.

"I... I... can't" her voice was betraying her.

"Why Sigyn? For how long you'll deny it? You want me just like I want you in my life. You are almost hurting yourself by denying your feelings for me. This resistance will kill you, darling. Just let go"

Her nerves around neck were tight as she was holding herself. "I can't. I don't love you. You are an enemy"

"Then why were you crying when you thought I was dead"

"It was guilt"

"It means if I die by someone else's hands you'll be fine by that"

"I don't know. Just stop pushing me. Stop it..."

"Why don't I attract some guards and they will definitely kill me. Maybe... maybe you will tell my dead body how much you love me". He was about to go but Sigyn struggled to stop him. He was determined to get caught.

She held his arm in her grasp and ran in front of him to put a hand on his chest. "Don't go please. Don't go"

"Why? Why do you care?" He asked angrily this time.

"Because I don't want you to die". She said in weak inaudible voice lowering her eyes.

"I can't hear you"

"I... I... I think I love you. I don't want you to die" she spoke a little louder than earlier this time. A single tear rolled down her eyes.

Loki held her face and moved it to meet her eyes. She closed her eyes and more tears escaped from them. She spoke again. "I just can't do this Loki. You are my enemy. I can't just love you. I can't name it love even if it feels like love".

Soon they saw millions of Niflillies grew around them and kept on growing further in the whole forest. They were glowing purple in the dark night.

She looked back at him. He smiled "I think these flowers are telling what's truth. Even if you can't name your feelings they will"

He covered distance between their faces as to kiss her but she was resisting. "I am so scared". Her lower lip was quivering.

"I understand" He embraced her. She also wrapped her arms around him. "I would've been a lot easier if we were common people, Sigyn. Being royals made our complicated but you know what? This is love. Love grows at the places you never expected, in the circumstances you never imagined and in the hearts that are... hard to meet"

"I am feeling so good in your arms". He could sense her heart beating so fast. She is scared.

"I'll protect you I promise"

"I love you Loki" it was a murmur but Loki listened it.

"I love you too, my princess"

She looked at his green eyes and without thinking about the world she kissed him deeply and hungrily.

And then kissed him again and again with 'I love you' before every kiss. He was loaded with kisses everywhere on his face and jaw and neck. At last she buried in his embrace again.

She was still scared of something. She just don't know what. She said "Loki, please take me....."

When a guard shouted. "There she is. He is holding her. Fire!!"

Loki duck to avoid the fires. Soon they started running. A guard shouted again. "She is running with him. Kill them both"

They reached a port and took a ship. Unhanger it and ship started drifting away from the port. Guards fired on ship but they went away. They ran away.
