Loki ran through the woods his only hope of survival being to outmaneuver the wolf. He lungs were burning and his legs were aching. Already he had felt the scrape of teeth that had spurred him to run faster but still not fast enough. If Loki weren’t so focused on surviving the night, he might be cursing Amora and her witchcraft habit.
Exhaustion was starting weigh Loki down when he spotted the end of the garage. He was almost home!
“Mother, Father, help.” Loki called out as he raced to the house. Loki spared a glance behind but he did not see anything behind him but Loki wasn’t going to take a chance. Loki barreled through the front door and slammed it shut. The then locked it behind him and peered out to see if he could see the beast that had chased him.
“Loki, what is all this noise.” Loki tensed at gruff words and turned around to see his estranged half-brother striding down the stairs.
“Tyr, what are you doing here, where are...” Loki panted out as Tyr approached the door. Tyr was dressed in a simple tee-shirt and sleep pants.
“Your parents had to take care of an incident dealing with Thor. They will be back soon.” Tyr answered as he took in Loki. “So what have you been up to that you are making such a ruckus about?”
“I was out with Amora and Lorelei but we were attacked by a dog or a wolf. It chased me but I think there was more than one.” Loki blurted out, suddenly worried for his friends and wanting to help them. Now that he was safe the whole thing was starting to feel unreal.
“Where did they go, I’ll go look for them but you need to go upstairs and stay put.” Loki bristled at these words but Tyr’s hand gripped tighter on his arm.
“But, if they’re hurt...” Loki interjected only to be cut off by Tyr.
“If they’re hurt, you’ll be in the way. So where did you go, I’ll go there and check it out.” Loki wanted to resist but since Tyr was already dragging him up to his room Loki knew that the point was futile.
“West near the highway.” Loki said fishing around his pockets and discovering that he lost his phone but before he could get another word out, Loki was pushed into the entryway of his room and the lock clicked in place. “Damn.” Loki sighed and stalked upstairs. Loki stalked angrily into his living room and eyed the computer, perhaps he could see if one of his friends was online.
Instead, Loki opted to glare out the window as he saw Tyr drive past with Thor’s car and an irrational anger took ahold of Loki. Tyr often borrowed a car when he visited America, and Thor would not be able to use his car but somehow it still felt wrong to see Tyr use it without Thor’s permission.
But as he watched Thor’s car disappear to where the wolf had come from, Tyr’s words hit Loki. Something had happened with Thor, somehow Mother and Father were able to communicate with Thor and if Loki kept his eyes open, he could communicate with his brother, provided whatever happened hadn’t killed Thor. Loki paced the floor of his rooms and looked out every window hoping for a sign of his friends or parents but as the night dragged on Loki was unable to uncover a single clue.
