"So you're a god?" Trevor asks, holding his bowl of cereal on his lap.

"Of course I am." Loki said.

"Then why are you wounded?" Trevor asks, raising a brow up while taking a sip from the bowl with a spoon.

"It was an unexpected landing." Loki said.

Then they heard a screech from down the hallway in the direction of the back door.

 "Trevor!" Gloria screeches. "Our backyard is ruined!"

Trevor lowers the spoon lifting down his eyebrow.

"I may have left a hole." Loki said.

"Uh...uh...are you from Krypton?" Trevor asks.

"Don't be absurd." Loki said.  "I am from Asgard, the highest realm in all the nine realms."

"So, this means you can fly." Trevor guesses.

"Your hearing is lacking." Loki said. "I am not a water god; I am the god of mischief, lies, trickery, and the master of magic." Loki flicks a green magical ball at the ceiling fan that swoops around it striking in the dead middle and magically changed into a chandelier. "I just changed your ceiling fan into a better lighter."

"Turn it into a....uh....Grasshopper!" Trevor said, as Gloria walks from the kitchen with a hysterical look.

"I cannot make a ceiling based item into a grasshopper." Loki said. "It is not conventional." Loki flicks green magic towards the chandelier turning it back into a ceiling fan. Gloria is now behind the couch.  "I can only go so far with lifeless items serving their unique purposes."

Trevor's  merely smiles and greets his wife.

"Morning, my one and only glorious wife." Trevor said.

"Honey, we have an issue with the backyard." Gloria said. "Don't play the compliment name card on me." Gloria shook her finger at her husband walking around the couch right towards the backside of the rectangle table. She turns her attention towards Loki."Who are you and why are you in my house?"

"I am Loki." Loki said.  "And your granddaughter Elizabeth had asked your permission for me to stay awhile until I am healed."

Gloria folds her arms, while Trevor is glued in to the television that is showing a good soap opera.

"She didn't ask." Gloria said.

"Yes, she did." Loki said. "I may be an excellent liar but I can tell when someone is telling the truth."

"Martha, you know you love Sam!" Trevor yells at the television set. "Can't you just admit it and stop being depressed about your dead boyfriend?" Trevor narrows his eyes at the television set tuning out the conversation going on across from him. "I see what your dead boyfriend is doing."

"And why do you need a place to stay?" Gloria asks.

Loki points down to his legs.

"I had an unexpected fall." Loki said.  "I'll be taking my leave in a couple hours. And as soon as I can walk; I'll fix the mess in your backyard."

Gloria's face turns into a puzzled one.

"You had an unexpected fall, and, you're leaving in a couple hours." Gloria said. "Excuse my manners, but, how the bull are you so fragile and spoiled enough that a fall requires a lazy day on the couch?"

Loki laughs.

"You almost described Midgardians." Loki said, holding his index finger and his thumb together enough that he was making a little circle.  "I am a god; I heal faster."

Goria's puzzled look turns into a frown.

"If you're a god, what do I pray about every night?" Gloria asks.

"That your granddaughter gets out of her adventurous phrase in the forest." Loki lied as Gloria's face turns white. "I will not be returning to Asgard for some time. After everything that has happened lately..."

Gloria picks up the remote then clicks on a red button that opened up a whole page under the name 'DVR'. Trevor is paying direct attention to the small box seen at the left hand corner of the screen all the while Gloria scrolls down using the remote.She came to a direct pause on a movie called  'HellBoy' that earned raised eyebrows from Loki.

"Hellboy?" Loki said."I do not understand why a boy is called hell."

"You'll see him." Gloria said. "As a cute little fella."

"Gloria, please don't--" Trevor pleads.

"Honey, you have that episode recorded." Gloria reminds Trevor.

"I know, but it takes the experience out." Trevor said.

"There is no experience watching a rerun." Gloria said.  "There is an experience when it is a special episode being aired live."

Gloria presses the play button then sits down into a chair right across from the couch.Two hours flew during the viewing of the first HellBoy movie that earned a rather gawking Loki. Loki is stunned to see such a very odd movie by Midgardians.Gloria presses the pause button at the end credits scene.Trevor came back from his room dressed up to do some bird watching; complete by a pair of Binoculars, a hat, backpack, and a camera sticking out his backpack pocket.

"Why was this movie made?" Loki asks.

"Hellboy likes kittens." Gloria said. "Hellboy has fangirls."

"Fangirls?" Loki repeats.

"When you're devoted to someone, some show, something." Gloria said. "That's what the word 'fan' in this case means."

"What about men?" Loki asks.

"Fanboys." Gloria said. "Or FanMan."

"FanFools." Loki said.

"There is already a day called April Fools." Gloria said. 

"See you in the afternoon honey!" Trevor said, walking towards the door.

"Be safe." Gloria said.

"I bird-watch safely without being considered a stalker." Trevor said. "I am pretty safe,Glory."

Gloria looks down towards her watch.

"It is ten." Gloria said. "What a nice way to spend a Friday."

Trevor opens  the door and walks out the house.

"Is there a another of this movie?" Loki asks.

Gloria turns her attention off from the watch then picks up the remote.

"It has a sequel." Gloria said, turning on the DVR page. "If that is what you're asking."

"How bad can this be?" Loki asks, as Gloria uses the remote to land on the sequel.

Gloria looks towards Loki, looking grave and solemn.

"You have to determine this for yourself." Gloria said.

..12:59 PM...

...In the Forest...

"lizzy,I have something cool to show you." Robert said, guiding Elizabeth through a tunnel made by collapsed dead tree's that shared a similar bend.

Elizabeth holds the Princess Aurora close while looking curious and eager to see this 'cool something'.

"Is it a abandoned old styled house, Robby?" Elizabeth asks.

Robert shook his head with a laugh.

"No, it is not." Robert said. "My big brother Joe swore me not to tell anyone when we found this place last year."

Elizabeth stops in her tracks.

"He made you  swear not to tell." Elizabeth said. "Is this something that we should not meddle in?"

Robert shook his head.

"It is a beautiful place." Robert said. "That's why Joe made me swear. He didn't want our dad to tell some people who'll litter it and turn it into a parking lot belonging to some expensive business."

"If you say so." Elizabeth said.  "Show me this beautiful scenery."

Robert and Elizabeth continue the walk. We can see above behind the bent-over tree's that Jake the Elk is standing warily feet away from the entrance acting uneasy and worried.Jake the Elk paces back and forth shaking his head a few times.Our attention returns to the two kids coming out of the exit that is giving off a fantasy movie-prop effect vibe. Elizabeth gasps letting go of Robert's hand taking a step forward.

"This...is beautiful." Elizabeth said, taking in the scene with her eyes while looking around.

There are tree's that had unusual poses standing around an edge leading to the big body of water being refilled by a little harmless waterfall sprinkling a steady flow.Elizabeth's grip on the doll loosens  gradually letting it slip. We can see around the tree's there  is a couple fields of dead brown grass that could be observed from above making the shape of vines crawling towards the pathway made by the bent over tree's.

"Yes." Robert said. "It is a beauty in Texas."  Robert had his hands on his hips looking up towards the tip of the slow waterfall. "For a waterfall in Texas, it is not very big and tall."

"Not everything is not what we expect." Elizabeth said, walking towards one of the middle tree's. "The forest, for example, is different." She looks up towards the middle tree that has one branch out with twigs sticking out in the shape of a hand. Elizabeth tilts her head locking eyes on the dark hole in the middle of the tree feeling a bad vibe coming from it. "Robert,something doesn't feel right."

Elizabeth usually didn't call Robert by his name, but mostly by his nickname 'Robby', which is weird that she called him by his first name.

"Like what?" Robert asks,his attention focused on the  pretty waterfall.

"Death." Elizabeth said. "The tree's are...fading. Can you feel it? No one has ever came here because the tree's are actually...set to start dying when groups come into this beautiful place. It feels like someone used magic on them; a long time ago." Elizabeth drops her Princess Aurora doll. "They're starting a domino effect.They don't want to go."

"Elizabeth, tree's can't speak." Robert said, with a laugh.

"Robby, I'm scared." Elizabeth said.

Robert turns towards his right, and, there was no sign of Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth?" Robert calls.  "Are you pulling one of your tricks on me?" He saw the doll on the grass. "Haha, very funny Lizzy, leaving your barbie to scare me!" Robert takes his hands off his hips.  "That won't work on me, Elizabeth!" He looks around hearing something like an owl, a dark'ish feeling came over, the green grass turns brown beneath Robert's shoe. "Elizabeth?"

Robert saw the leaves fall from the tree's.

"This isn't one of Elizabeth's tricks." Robert said out loud.

The sky is getting dark for an odd reason.

"Robby." Robert heard Elizabeth's voice. "Wanna follow me to the playground?"

Her voice was coming from the middle tree. Elizabeth could have not possibly fit into that hole.

"Ah!" Robert screams, frantically waving his hands in the air turning back towards the hole  made by the bent over tree's and ran fast as he could. "There's a creepy Sleepy Hollow thing going on in the forest!"
