Chapter 1

Aurora

When Loki opened his eyes he could feel someone was watching him. He sat up and put his hand to his head. It was throbbing a bit. He stood up and looked around. He did not recognize anything around him. Then he felt something sharp on his back.

"Who are you?" came a female voice.

Loki slowly put his hands up in surrender.

Aurora's POV

He was dressed strangely and was wearing a long, emerald green cape. I hadn't seen his face, but his hair was almost shoulder length and pitch black. He remained silent.

"I will not ask you again."

I pushed the tip of the arrow a little harder against him.

"May I at least turn and see who is asking?"

He was British like I was. Maybe he was a live action role player and that was why he was dressed the way he was.

"Fine, but you turn slowly am I clear?"

"Crystal."

He slowly turned around and my eyes widened a bit. He was very…well I would say handsome out loud but there was another word for it.

"What is your name?" I asked.

He looked at my arrow which was still aimed at his heart.

"I am Loki, of Asguard."

I raised my brows.

"Do I look like a silly little girl to you?" I snapped.

Loki's POV

If I were to give her an honest answer, no I did no think that. In truth I had never seen a more beautiful woman in all my long life.

"What realm is this?"

Now she looked a little irritated.

"You know where we are. Britain!" She said impatiently.

"I do not know where that is or where I am for that matter."

Now she looked a little confused.

"Did you hit your head or something?" she asked me.

"Well yes I did but that has nothing to…."

She sighed and lowered her weapon.

"You had better come back home with me then. I'll check and see if your head has taken any permanent damage." she said.

I had no choice but to follow her. She lived in a very small house and it appeared as though she lived alone.

"You live alone?"

She nodded but did not look at me or speak. She did not trust me, and this was probably wise on her part, even I had to admit it. She let me inside first, I noticed she never turned her back on me. She had me sit down and I started to feel….a bit worn out.

Aurora's POV

I never turned my back on him. I did not know him and there was a chance I could get a knife, bullet or arrow in the back. I put my bow and quiver down and then parted his hair. He took a good knock on the head.

"You're lucky to be alive. I'm surprised you didn't crack your head open." I said.

"A child lives here?" he asked.

He was looking through the open door. I went and closed it.

"One did." I said shortly.

"What happened?"

I narrowed my eyes.

"None of your damn business." I snapped.

He looked a little intimidated. I sighed, if I let him leave on his own, he would probably be dead by morning. Something in me did not want that.

"You can sleep on the sofa tonight. You'll need to stay here at least for tonight." I said.

He nodded but didn't say anything. There was something in his light blue eyes that bothered me some.

"You're a mischief maker aren't you."

It was no question. He smirked a little.

"Back home I was. That was what got me here."

"Well I won't tolerate any mischief making here. Am I clear?"

"Perfectly."

I nodded and went about making dinner.
