Chapter Five: Reasons

I woke up smiling up at the roof of my new room. I’d slept peacefully tonight as if I were back on Earth. I really did miss that place. I groaned and rolled over, into a hard chest. I shot up and clutched the cover to me, but I was dressed. Completely.

The person next to me was not. All I could see was a rock hard chest with a sheet thrown over the other half of him. Oh god! A shock of blonde hair fanned out around his head and his face was completely relaxed in sleep. His mouth formed a perfect smile and he wasn’t as rude looking as when his eyes were open. I looked at him and decided now was definitely the time to get out of that bed. I walked over to the windows and outside I saw cars, buildings, people in jeans, jackets, boots and almost screamed in happiness! Earth! A place where kings and queens aren’t as powerful, yet still powerful. How I missed this lovely place. I clapped my hands until I heard a noise. It was sort of a scream and something close to being scared. I turned around looking for the source of the sound. I found no one. I shrugged and walked over to the restroom.

“Father please!” I heard a shout. This time I knew it was Thor and I ran over into the bedroom with my heart in my throat. What was going on?

I turned the corner to see Thor laying there, twitching on the sheets and face scrunched up. He was still asleep, but he was having a nightmare.

“Don’t burn her father! She did nothing!” He shouted again. I’d had enough, I felt like I was dying each time he shouted differently. I don’t think I could handle it if he did it again.

“Thor! Wake up please!” I scream back at him. I place my hand on his shoulder and tug. He keeps twitching and turning, not paying attention at all. He was still too asleep.

“I love her! Please, don’t touch her.” He mumbled in his sleep. I felt my heart being ripped in two and I couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’m sorry Thor.” I whisper and place a hand on his chest. I pull energy from the light source around us and zap it into his heart. His eyes flash open immediately and his arms wrap around me entirely. One minute I’m sitting beside him waking him up, and then I’m beneath him and he’s got me pinned. I gasp and look into his eyes. I see complete shock enter them and then guilt. He pulls away fast and then just stares at me from across the room.

“Are you ok?” I ask him. He stares at me as if I’m being an idiot.

“Am I ok? I just attacked you and you’re asking if I’m ok?” Thor questions. I nod my head and fumble off of the bed. My legs tangle into the sheet and I end up tumbling to the floor, making a fool out of myself no doubt. Perfect! I feel his hands wrap around my arms and pull me up. I growl and wrench my arm out of his hand.

“I’m fine. Now wanna tell me what that dream was about?” I ask him, folding my hands across my chest. He runs a hand through his hair and that’s when I realize something. He’s not wearing any clothes. I immediately cover my eyes and turn away from him.

“On second thought you need a shower, I need a shower, and we can talk about that later when we eat breakfast and you tell me why we are back on Earth.” I say and rush into the bathroom. I close the door and place both my hands on my heart. It was beating maybe a thousand beats per second. It was definitely beating fast. I gasped in each breath as I tried to calm down. It took me ten minutes of not thinking of Thor just to do that. He was literally taking over my life right now.

I shakily turn on the shower and jump in. The hot water feels like heaven and I feel pretty good. I smile at myself as I bathe. After the shower I pull on black jeans, blue shirt, and socks and boots. I brush my hair until there are no tangles in it and add in some Aussie Moist. Before I leave I also put on eyeliner, eyebrow liner, black mascara, and clear lip gloss. I smile at my masterpiece and walk out of there to see Thor waiting for me. He’s wearing the exact same thing! Could he look ugly for like one day maybe? I groan and pull on a leather jacket, he does the same thing. I really hate him right now.

“You ready?” He asks.

“Yeah.” I mutter and begin to walk away from him. He looks a little shocked at my attitude, but walks out behind me. I keep walking until I spot Starbucks around the corner and go inside. It’s toasty in here. I walk straight to the register and look at the cashier. A guy for once!

“Hi, may I take your order?” The guys asks, eyeing me out. I smile at him.

“Can I have a caramel ribbon crunch frap with a low fat yogurt?” I ask. He nods and types in my order.

“I’ll take a black hot coffee with four cinnamon buns.” Thor orders with mine. The guy looks at Thor and he immediately turns sad. He gives us the total and I pay him, letting him keep the change. We pick a intimate spot alone and wait for our orders to be called out.

“You ordered four cinna buns?” I ask him astounded. He smirks.

“You only ordered a yogurt.” He points out. I shrug.

“It’s healthy.” I say.

“I’m hungry and I don’t need to worry about what I eat. Neither do you.” Thor says with a frown and then goes and picks up our order. I wait until he places my stuff in front of me and then I begin to ask questions.

“What was that dream about?” I ask him. He bites into his first cinna bun.

“Umm an old friend of mine.” He says. I snort and eat some yogurt.

“Can you tell me anything else about her?” I ask him. He looks at me confused.

“How do you know it’s a girl?” He asks.

“You kept saying don’t kill her.” I tell him. He smiles.

“Yeah well me and my brother Loki knew this girl as kids. We loved hanging out with her. I fell in love with her even then. Her father was accused of killing a man and my father killed him and her whole family. She was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen and when she died I hated my father more than anything in the world. Her name was also Esmerelda. I’ll never forget her for as long as I shall live.” It’s almost like a promise. I feel sad and yet happy at the same time. He’d loved me when I thought he hadn’t cared. Loki lied!

“She sounds great then.” I say finishing my yogurt.

“Why did we come down here?” I ask him. He looks down at the table.

“I thought you might like being where you used to live. I know I’ve taken so much away from you and for that I’ll always be in debt of you, so I thought I should start by letting you see this.” Thor says motioning as if the whole world instead of this little place. I laugh and smile at him happily.

“Thank you.” I say. He smiles and squeezes my hand.

“You’re welcome.” I grab my drink and stand up. We walk out of Starbucks and just stared at everything. Happy to just be with each other.

“You’re a good guy.” I say. He pretends to be wounded.

“I may have to do something bad then.” He jokes. I chuckle and move closer to him.

“Whatever.” I say and keep walking. We are just walking around ignoring everything when I hear a deep rumble from the ground beneath our feet. I gasp and do the dumbest thing ever, I stand still. I knew somewhere in the back of my head that this was dumb, but I did it anyway. Thor did as well. We just looked around and then out of nowhere I see a part of the ground floating in the air. My heart beat accelerates.

“Thor run.” I gasp at him. He looks at me and turns his back on the floating road piece.

“No, I’m the only person who can’t die from this.” He says just as some type of force decides to throw the rock straight at his back. I scream and use my force field to fly him straight back into the starbucks and catch the rock in the air. I hold it there and then push it back into the Earth.

“Oh no you don’t!” I hear a woman scream and then more rocks are floating in the air. I stand there and stare at everything this woman has raised. I look straight ahead and see a woman in black leather that was made for her curvy shape. Black blue hair trails down her back straight as can be and her eyes were a vicious red. She looks as if she wanted to kill and wanted to kill now.

She forced all the rocks to come at me and I pulled energy from the light posts and catch them in the energy and force it down into the ground. She growls through the air.

“I haven’t met you before, but I will meet again. Oh, and here’s something until next time.” She smiles and then disappear. I shake my head and turn around and was just about to leave when something hit me straight in the back of the head. I see spots of black where a man stands. I tear his own energy force out of him until he crumbles onto the floor, dead.

“Stupid.” I growl and then more black dots appear.

“Esmerelda!” I hear Thor yell. I smile as I realize he’s still alive and then fall, everything going completely black. I don’t think I’m dead yet.
