''Jane I was completely safe... I had Loki to protect me.'' Darcy smiled innocently at her partner, handing her friend the light blue gown that she'd chosen to wear.

''Loki! Loki! He is as safe as a bilgesnipe in rutting season! I'm still wondering why you even are standing up for that creep?'' Jane glared at the mirror, shrugging on the satiny gown, and gesturing at Darcy to button it up.

''Jane... I love him... You should understand that...'' Darcy mumbled, fumbling with the little buttons on the gown, wondering wich masterpiece of clothing she would wear.

Jane sighed, and turned around to look at her. ''I do understand that Darce... I just don't understand this... Why him?'' Jane sighed again and turned to look at herself in the mirror. She looked elegant and quite breathtaking in the blue satin gown with the crème ruffle around the edges and splitting the front and back of the gown. Her hair was styled in a rose shaped bun at the back of her head, a small curl resting on her neck.

''You look gorgeous...'' Darcy whispered, a small fear entering her conscience. What if Loki was killed? And Darcy never got to touch him again, see him again...

''You didn't answer my question... Why him?''

''Because he and I were meant for each other... I can't explain it in any other way Jane... I'm sorry.'' Darcy felt herself breaking, she had held strong until now. A small tear fell down her cheek.

''Don't be sorry... I understand, I just don't know how it feels... He, is an interesting man, and I just hope you make the right choices with your life.'' Jane gave her a small smile, and turned away, practical gliding out of the room, her footsteps growing fainter and fainter.

''I'm gonna make the right choices... I definitely am...'' Darcy whispered, her eyes sliding over to a ruby gown with silver underskirts and lace... ''I'm gonna make the choices that are good for me... And will help me see my baby again...''

''I feel like a million people are gawking at me and thinking I'm a slut.'' Darcy hissed at Jane, feeling exposed as a strawberry in the middle of bowl of spinach... And everyone's lookin' at the strawberry. The ruby gown swirled around her, slimming her waist and leaving an inch too much chest exposed to the public, silvery lace tickled the edge of her neck and with every step she took the red skirt split, showing the silver underskirts with a bright opal color design.

''You look beautiful... And close your mouth! You look like a fish.'' Jane smiled at her and went over to Thor, hooking her arm through his. She whispered something in his ear and he visibly stiffened, His face acquiring a small frown.

Darcy sighed, knowing it had to do with Loki and went over to the two lovebirds, watching as the ball commenced around her.

''Why is there a party? To celebrate Loki's death?'' Darcy asked drily,smirking at Thor.

''It's Al' Hallows Eve... We have a celebration like this every year... You happened to return for the party.'' Thor brightened a little and looked down a Jane. ''Would you like to dance? The celebration is mainly consisted of dancing.''

''I'd love to.'' Jane smiled at him sweetly and they twirled away, leaving Darcy alone... With no one to dance with.

''All alone? I thought parties were supposed to be fun?'' An all to familiar voice asked.

''Stephen!'' Darcy spun around and saw her friend, right there in front of her, all nonchalant and acting as if he never left. ''Oh Stephen they locked-''

Stephen put a finger over her lips, stopping her. ''I know. I told Odin that he caused you no harm and that his intentions were harmless and based entirely on mischievous child play. And that the only reason you came was because you forced him to take you. The king will announce his banishment tomorrow...'' Stephen's words were mumbled as he drank from a goblet of ale.

''Oh thank god! You are the first person I'd want to see right now.'' She wrapped him in a hug... ''Thankyou so much...'' She whispered.

''Can't breathe!'' Stephen exclaimed and she hastily let go of him. ''Now I think you should go and dance with some of the young men around here. Favoritism is very hurtful, and about twenty young men are waiting for you to seem available and in the mood for a dance.''

''You're right.'' She smiled, and brushed a loose strand of hair out of her face.

''You can't do this to me!'' Loki cried, banging on the wall of his cage. ''You made a promise... That if Stephen testified that I did no wrong that I'd be set free... On earth with Darcy.''

''I told you that you'd be banished to earth, but I never said nothing else would happen.'' Odin sighed, looking at his son, huddled on the floor, his hand pressed against the glass. ''Thor will never let you go that easy... You will be hunted anyways... I would let you go free if I knew you'd behave... But the shadow hounds will ensure that you have no time for mischief...''

''No! You can't! You can't do this to me! I'll never have peace... Never...'' A tear slid down his face, sorrow etching tracks of tears onto his face. Pain and horror haunted his emerald gaze.

''You won't be alone... The mortal will be your only guide there, the only thing to keep you sane.'' Odin closed his eyes and opened them again, looking down into the cage that held his royal hounds, they were lunging and snapping at the air, there eyes red and ghostly.

''No...'' Loki whispered. ''You can't bring her into this... She deserves freedom. Freedom from me...''

''Then consider it a punishment for her, for following you and helping you escape in the first place.'' Odin suggested, his one blue eye moving back to his foster child.

A single tear fell from Loki's face, landing on the floor of cell. ''Then you are truly no longer my father... If you can torture me and the one I love, with never ending fear... You are truly an unforgiving person...'' Loki's heads bowed and his shoulders shook, half from exhaustion and half from sorrow.

''You will understand in the end... My son.''
