Chapter 1 : Valentine´s Day Suck

I hate this day, you have no idea how much I do. Hey, hey lonely people do you want to be remind how death is your social life? What weren´t holidays enough? Well Mr. Grumpypants let me show you a day full of couples giving each other gifts, going out and spending their day with a special ones. Oh what's that? You don´t have anybody? Well you can still go out with friends and make fun of how you guys are still single and have some drinks. What´s that? You don´t have friends either? Well it must really suck be you

I mean you go single all day with no problem, but this day just this freaking day has to ruin it all hasn´t it?

Well at least I am not acting all stupid and dorky in public, spending all my valuable short and really nonexistent money in expensive gifts I am only going to give once a year instead of dedicating love and small details each day like you should.

You know those stupid kind of things, like surprising you with flowers in your job. Taking you to surprise road trips. Or just spending a day being lazy in bed and watching movies.

Yeah who would want that….

Well you know what? I don't, I don't need that shit! I can hold myself today! Yeah who cares if I couldn´t found my favorite chocolate cover strawberries at the store because another 30 people order them that day. Who cares that I don't have a hot date to spend my day with. Who cares I don't have friends here in this city I suddenly felt like moving in order to be more "independent" and I can barely take care of myself, rise early and get a decent job. Who cares! Besides is not like I haven't had a single one descent St. Valentine's Day, not since elementary where I could get candy from everyone. Whatever I had spent shittier Fen 14s. I can do this

I got Netflix and lots of food, so I am going to pamper myself and watch a good horror movie and laugh at stupid people having a worse time than me.

YEAH this St Valentine´s is going to be great!

Several hours later

I was crying in the floor. Like seriously! It was a simple plan! Nothing of romantic flicks! But shitty Netflix suggested me to re-watch all my childhood´s favorite. It started all nice, something sweet and innocent with Iron Giant, but then I suddenly started to find Dean attractive. Then I watched Peter Pan and I remembered he was my first crush and that I always dreamed to fly away with then cutie to a place where I would never grow old and get shitty responsibilities and then I finished and top it with Stardust and Silverlight Playbook, because fuck me.

"Why can´t I find someone who loves me the way I am?"- I repeated out loud. –"Why? Why cant I have someone to be dorky with! I don't need cheesy romantic words being thrown at me every day. I just want someone to be myself with! Someone who understands me! I want my partner in crime!"

"Where is my happy ending?! WHERE! WHERE!"

I was crying my eyes out. Why? Because I just want a romantic road trip! I just want to have someone I can be cheesy with! Where are my flowers? Where can I find someone that actually loves me but honestly likes me with all my cool and shitty sides? I am not even asking for some romantic partner. All I want is a partner in crime, someone I can be stupid with, without feeling stupid, someone I can have conversations. I want someone who is my friend, and my lover, and gives me flowers and kisses me and and..

Oh I am going to be one of those cat ladies am I?

I lay on the floor crying for what felt like 30 minutes. Thirty freaking minutes of my life spend on self-loathing. When I was finally done enlisting all my first world problems, I sucked up, and decided I need a break, at least, from being 13 hrs locked up in a room. I looked at the time and saw it was 11:00 pm, perfect for a night walk and totally not dangerous.

I looked at the mirror and laugh at myself

Like if anybody would be interested on kidnapping me looking the messy way I was.

I grabbed my coat and went outside, making sure to lock the door behind me. As I walk by the chill streets of New York I couldn´t help but feel like I should have taken my heavier coat. I was freezing and maybe it was a bad idea of not be wearing a bra…

Eh… we are halfway their

OOO

I entered the store and grabbed two packages of oreos, some whipped cream, potato chips and a bottle of soda. I made my way to the line. An old women in front of me seemed to be preparing to have a hell of a party because it took at least 10 minutes to check all her pieces.

Finally my turn had come and the woman behind the cashier decided to be unnecessarily nice and ask me awkward question like

"Having company tonight? - She said and throwing me a smile.

"Yeah!"- I lied awkwardly and pay the fastest I could.

I went outside, ready to be receive by the chill wind. Thinking to myself I should probably give Elementary a chance because Lucy Liu was gorgeous. However I noticed the old woman from the store was having trouble getting her food inside her car.

I looked at her and my way back home hesitantly, not being sure if I should be a good person or leave soon. Deciding I wasn´t going to do anything productive for the rest of the night other than waste my life, I decided to be at least a good human being today and help her out.

"Excuse me, do you need help?"

"Oh yes just a bit please"- She said, her voice raspy.

"No problem"- I said and grabbed the heavy bags. She remained standing up while giving me a curious smile.-"Having a party tonight?"

"Oh yes"- The old lady said enthusiastically. "The girls and I are having a small reunion, no husbands allow"

I raise an eyebrow at her comment. Then I saw her trying to reach for another of her bags but I quickly stopped her.

"No mam I will take care of"

"Oh well aren't you a sweet young lady"- She said and adjust her blue hair. I simply smiled. "Its rare to find people like you now days"

"Yeah well here is"- I said as I closed the door and was ready to go.

"Thank you"- She said and I clapped my hand awkwardly and tried to make my way back home.

Elementary here I go

"Umm do you have to be somewhere right now?"- She asked, I stopped on my tracks and turned around.

"Well no… but"

"Great! Than perhaps you might want to make me another favor"

I looked from my way back home to the lady. Unsure if I really wanted to ask.

Uh what the hell

"What is it?"

"Well you see, I can't see very well at night, and I was wondering if you could drive me to my house."

Shit this is what I get for being good people!

Well I …

"Of course I understand if you don't want to help an old woman like me, you must have a lot of important stuff to do right now"- She quaked, even though I could see the manipulation behind it. And boy did it worked

"Well I no, actually no.. Where do you live?"

"5th and Madison"

"Ah well is not that far"

"I will pay you I promise"

I sighed. Well at least I can do my good labor of the day and get paid of course if this woman doesn't turned out to be an organ robber

I grabbed the keys and drive her. In a rather silent drive, due to my preoccupation increasing, her pleasant smile and silence suddenly started to become unsettling. And as I drove, I couldn´t help but think what the hell was I thinking.

"Tell me dear do you have someone?"

"What!"- I coughed, shocking on my own saliva. The question as unexpected not to mention unwanted.

"You look rather lonely for a good looking lady"- She eyed me and kept staring at me.

I cleared my throat and tried to focus on the road.

"Yeah I don't have no one".- I answered the politest way possible

"Is there someone you like?"- She insisted

"I am no…"- I stuttered.- "Not at the moment"

"Hmm"- The lady remained at silence and before she could throw me anymore unwanted questions we arrived to her house.

"Well here is"- I patted the driving wheel and unlocked the doors. However she didn´t move and kept staring at her hands. I was going to asked her what was wrong when suddenly she turned around and came closer to me.

"You see young lady I don't have money to give you right now"

"Oh no problem… helping a fellow citizen is more"- I gulped terrified of her dark glance. She then grabbed my wrist and I panicked.

"But that doesn´t mean your kindness will go unpaid"- She said and locked all the doors.

What.

What!

I tried to pull away my wrist, but she grabbed it harder.

"Um ma´m what are you doing?"- I asked nervously

"You my dear are lonely"- She stated deadpan.

"A bit… I guess but"

"You are broken, I can see that, something or someone broke your heart, you are desperate to find your love one, you don't want to search anymore do you?"- She questioned and pulled me closer making me look at her eyes.

Oh shit she is going to kill me! My Gosh! WHY? Fuck you Valentine´s Day! Fuck you and all the misery you bring! You finally made it! You finally achieved giving me yet the worse day of my life!

"No! Please let go ma´m"- I shouted

"Okay"- She simply answer and let go my arm.-"Than have this"

I looked from my red marked wrist to her, she handed me a jar.

"What is this?"- I asked confused, and unsettled by the change of mood.

"A special jar, with a few ingredients"- She pointed out as she looked at herself in the mirror and fixed her hair.-"Open the jar and burn the ingredients, while you say the spell in the in the paper. It will bring love to your life. Is the least I can give you after driving me here? Sorry I thought I had cash left.

"Umm okey…You know I am fine on my own, I mean who needs true love when-"

Don't be so shy accept it"-She interrupted me.-"Its just a small spell to help your true love find its way towards you. It works, trust me, it's the most ordered along my clients, that and the penis enlargement potion"

I blinked a few moments before taking a deep breathe. Well it was not money but at least she wasn´t going to kill me.

"Okay thank you"- I said as we both stepped out of the car.

"No thank you lady."- She said while grabbing her bag.-"Is your house too far from here?"

"No, its fine I can take a cab"

"Great!"- She smiled gratefully.-"Don't you worry about the grocery, I´ll take care of that.

I nodded and she head to the house with really loud music, as she was receive by a group of same age ladies.

"Hey bitches! Guess whose back"

I took one last glance at the woman, before heading to call a taxi

OOO

I finally came back to my house. Exhausted and feeling a bit violated, I decided maybe I needed a shower. I placed the jar at the table and stare a bit for a moment. It looked like a pretty normal jar to me, the ones people sell along incense just to make people believe they could magically get stuff. I opened it and smell a touch of lavender. Well at least it could help relax me a bit.

The shower help me a lot and it actually lighten my mood a bit. I passed by the kitchen and stared at the jar hesitantly.

Eh what the hell

It seemed harmless enough. And if my true love didn't come at least I could have my house smell like lavender

Either that or would summoned the demon

I grabbed a lighter and put fire. I grabbed the paper and looked at what I suppose was the spell. It was a bunch of nonsense words that my tired mind didn't t want to discuss and I was probably to mispronounce anyway.

"Letta Mombayed Kaneeh kah Simeanhed Lenseh Del"- I tried out loud. I waited a few seconds and felt nothing magical or mystical as expected. I yawn and put the jar beside. It had been a long day indeed.

Far, far away from there..

The once prince of Asgard laid on his bed inside the cell. How many days had been since he last time he saw the light of day? A lot since Odin discovered he was making himself passed as him. The brutal words he said to him after he came back, Loki could still recall them, he even dare to bring the death of Friga.

But he was going to remain calm, the prison was not going to take away his sanity. Soon his opportunity was going to come, his second chance to take what was rightfully his.

Suddenly the raven hair male started to notice a sudden rise on temperature, and for him to feel hot was something strange. The room started to feel unbearably boiling. The prince started to sweat and tried to call for the prison guards' attention

"Hey what is happening?! Why is the temperature rising?"

However the guard seemed to be not able to hear him.

Strange symbols started to be written on the floor, while a hole started to form in it. Loki´s eyes widen as two chain emerged from it, grabbing both of his feet. Loki called louder but his pleas were unheard. Then two more chains grabbed him from the wrists.

They burned, they were extremely blazing. Loki flinched at the contact. He tried to fight them, try to chant a spell. But the unknown magic behind this mess pulled harder, until it dragged him inside the hole into the nothing.

OOO

I was about to fall asleep when I suddenly reminded I had forgotten to turn off the stove and my boiling water had probably already evaporated. I stood up and tied the rope of my pink housecoat. I walked towards the kitchen but then retreat a few steps back when I noticed something that wasn´t there before.

There in the middle of my living room lied an unconscious body sitting on a chair

HOLY SHIT

I got closer, he was tied to a wooden chair that did not belong to my low budget furniture. I took a look at his features, he was rather good looking. Actually he was really nice looking. He was tall, had raven black hair, and sharp cheekbones. He was actually my type of men…

Wait a minute did the spell worked?

Holy Shit it worked!

What's with the attire?

He was wearing a messy plain green shirt. And some black pants. They seemed old fashioned though. He was probably some actor

Wait! If the spell worked does that mean I abducted him?

What?

What?

What?

No! This is so wrong! What is he going to think once he wakes up? He will probably think I am some psycho! Hell what if someone already call the cops about him going missing! What if he has a family?! They are going to accuse me of rape or something! What do I do?

What do I do!?

WHAT DO I DO!

I panicked thinking of all the possibilities, while walking from one place to another

Should I report him? Don't be stupid! What are you going to say huh? Oh I want to report a tied body that appeared in the middle of the night!

My heart suddenly stopped as soon as I heard a groan. I turned around and sa he was moving,

Holy shit he was waking up!

Please wherever this handsome actor came from! Please take him back! PLEASE I AM GOOD WITH BEING A CAT LADY! I DON'T NEED ANYONE! PLEASE! I AM TOO YOUNG TO GO TO PRISION,

"What happened?"

How many much time you get for kidnapping?

"Where am I"

I hate you Valentine´s Day, I really do…
