Preoccupation

When I went to bed on Tuesday night, in the simple small town I lived in, I remember thinking that my life was ok. It's not perfect but I have food, clothes, a house, a job, free will and people that love me. It's now Friday, and as I get ready to get out of my bed I am truly baffled at how much your life can change in just 3 days. I am a married woman. Only for a few hours now, but none the less I could feel it weighing on me already. The wedding itself wasn't all that awful, it was like any girls dream. A white dress, a crowd of adoring people, standing across from a handsome prince and a beautiful diamond ring. He made it painless, the officiator said everything accept for the 'I do's'. Two words, that's all it took. I felt like I had sold my soul to the devil. Loki was anxious to spend the night together, I was not. However I was able to convince him I wasn't interested in him until he was king, he said he understood, he said he also wouldn't be interested in a princess if he could have a queen. So that's how we parted last night. Tonight, however, he would be a king, and I a queen. How would I deter him then. Loki was busy with preparations and so I was left at my own accord for the day. So what did I do? I spent all day in my bed. The peace was short lived. My alarm rang and as I sat up the maids rushed in and quickly had me ready for the crowning ceremony. Cleay guided me down the halls to the main rooms. Everything was covered in gold and green, Loki's favorite colour. The main chambers were packed with people as we walked by. Cleay left me behind the wall of the front stage and soon Loki appeared beside me. As the music for our entrance began to play he held out his arm, and as I took it we moved from behind the large curtain to the stage. Now for all to see the room erupted in applause. I had hoped the people of Asguard would not be pleased with Loki's taking of the crown. Perhaps they were just so weary from all the fighting they thought this would bring some form of peace. I took my seat next to Loki as Thor escorted Frigga down the centre walkway of the room. The applause was enormous for the Queen of Asguard. Frigga stood front and centre as Thor sat next to me. I put on my best smile for the crowd and he nodded at me as he sat down. "People of Asguard, my people" the room fell silent "It has been a difficult time for us, but today I hope to end this. I have enjoyed watching over you, keeping you safe, getting to know you better. However I did so with a broken heart for the king that I, that we all, lost. My leadership over you was temporary but I thank you for all the patience that you shared with me. I love you all. Today I present to you a new leader. One I hope will do us all proud, and I'm sure he will." Loki stood and moved to Frigga's side "Loki, my son. You stand here before your people as a beacon of hope, that this difficult time might end. I know that your father taught you well the skills of being a king. You will rule this realm with honour and pride. Do you, Loki of Asguard, swear to protect this realm with all of your being?" He turned to look at her "I swear" "Then by the power granted to me by the gods" Loki turned to face the crowd as Frigga stepped behind him taking the crown from it's place on a pedestal "I pronounce you the new king of Asguard" she placed the crown on his head. He stood and the room cheered, he opened his arms to receive all the adoration. Frigga, Thor, Loki and I all retreated to the area behind the curtains where there were 5 or 10 guards waiting for us. Loki smiled "and as my first decision as king I order that my brother Thor be arrested and spend his days in the dungeon" "No!" I blurted before covering my mouth He turned to me with cold eyes "excuse me?" I looked at him "well, it's just, I think that's a little rash...darling" the term of endearment got his attention "there are still people out there who believe that Thor is the rightful king. Imagine the backlash if you condemn him to life in prison. Remember what happened when they locked you down there, my dear" His eyebrows furrowed "what would you suggest I do my queen?" He took my hand "Uh, well" I tried to think of something that assured Thor's disappearance, but that also wouldn't ruin his life. "Banish him. Send him to Midguard. Let him live his life with his weak little girlfriend" I tried to sound evil like him, I couldn't tell if it was working "shut down the bifrost, he would never be able to return, you would rule Asguard unchallenged." Loki kissed my hand "do you truly believe this is best?" I nodded "Then your fate has been decided brother, your lucky my bride is more merciful than I" Thor bowed "thank you, my queen" when he looked back up his eyes shone with thanks. The feast was marvellous. Food to feed hundreds lined the large party hall and adjacent to that the ballroom was filled with people dancing their cares away. I spent my night next to Loki, poised and smiling. I knew my duty. "Ah, Lady Sif" Loki greeted "King Loki" she bowed "How are you enjoying our party this evening?" He smiled I watched the rage behind her eyes "it's lovely" "I'm glad" "My king, I have yet to see your brother this evening" "Alas poor Thor could not attend tonight as I have banished him from Asguard" She held her composure well but I could see the sadness in her eyes, I could hear her heart breaking. "Sif" I stepped from behind Loki and wrapped my arms around her "he's ok, he's on Midguard, it's the best I could convince him of" I whispered She nodded and pulled away, turning and disappearing in the crowd. She was so strong, I knew all to well of her unspoken feelings for the eldest son of Odin. Sif was brave to make an appearance, she always was the level headed one of Thor's group. No doubt Hogun, Fandral and Volstagg were off drunk somewhere, feeling the failure of losing Asguard to Loki. They didn't even know yet that Thor was gone. The rest of the evening carried on slowly. It wasn't until Loki got into a conversation with his councilmen about battle plans and government that I excused myself. "Excuse me my lords, but this conversation is no place for a lady" I had spent enough time in Asguard to know what was expected of a docile woman "I think I will retire, goodnight my king" He nodded and I snuck away to my chambers. I instantly shed the uncomfortable dress on the floor and changed into my night clothes. The maids were busy with the kitchen tonight so I even got to change myself. Slipping into bed I took a deep breath, congratulating myself for making it through the day without breaking down. I had spent some time looking through the bookshelves in the room and had found one familiar book from Midguard, Little Women. I reached over to the table next to the bed where I had placed it earlier and cracked it open. Just as I turned the third page I heard my door open. It was Loki. Closing the door behind him he headed towards the bed. He smiled at me then sat on the bed. "Hello" I lowered my book to my lap "hi?" He chuckled "You seem surprised to see me" "Well I wasn't expecting you, no" "Is it not a mans job to check on his wife, make sure she's...satisfied?" He smirked I knew immediately what he meant "oh, I'm fine" I smiled hoping to get him to leave "Ah but I am not" he put his arm on the other side of me, trapping me "Loki" I warned He swung a leg over mine so he was overtop of me "you are so incredibly sexy" I wiggled to try to get free "do you know how long I have waited for this?" His lips attacked my neck "Loki" I tried again "Years Grace, years" he kissed my cheek and then pressed his lips to mine so hard that it hurt "Loki please" I pushed him back He threw the blanket off me and slid a hand up my thigh I squirmed backwards into the pillows as tears threatened to fall from my eyes "you don't have to do this" He chuckled "no, of course not, but I want to" He crawled up to me. He had his hand on my waist under my nightgown and the other on my face. I was so scared of what was about to happen, I panicked. When his lips touched mine I swung my knee up and into his crotch. He pulled his face from mine as all the air left his lungs. He spent less than a second in pain before his face turned to pure anger. Next thing I knew my face jolted sideways as his hand made contact with it. I felt my cheek begin to pulse and when I reached up to touch it it felt hot. He stood from the bed, he tried to stand tall, powerful, but the pain didn't let him. "You. Will. Regret that." He announced through his clenched jaw Still holding my cheek I watched him storm off and out of the room. My body relaxed into the pillows as warm tears filled my eyes. As they began to roll down my cheek I got myself back under the large blankets. I wiped the tears from my face and settled in touching my cheek lightly. I winced and then relaxed closing my eyes. I tossed and turned for what seemed like hours before I fell asleep.
