I lay in my bed as I think about my past.

Why can't I remember anything.

This headache isn't helping at all either.

I toss and turn until I finally fall asleep.

•FLASHBACK/DREAM•

I'm 8 years old. Life on Midgard was perfect. My mother and father liked to dance while dinner was almost ready.

I was an only child, so attention from them wasn't hard to get.

My mother had long black hair and pale skin. She always wore long dresses and had her hair down.

My dad was tall with fair skin. He always wore trousers and a white "pirate" shirt. It was just a normal day until it wasn't.

My parents tucked me into bed, as they always do, and told me that I am promised to the next King of Asgard, an arranged marriage.

I never knew what that meant so I thought nothing of it.

They gave me a kiss goodnight. I fell asleep without a worry in the world, for I had no idea what they meant.

"Y/N, c'mon we gotta go sweetie. It's time to go." My mother wakes me up and helps me out of bed.

"Momma, what's going on?" I ask worriedly. "No time for questions Y/N just hurry please."

I quickly get dressed and rush with my mother.

Buildings are exploding, people are screaming, there's fire everywhere.

"Mother! What is this!" Fear is taking over me. I begin to panic. My mother rushes back to me, and holds me in her arms.

She tells me to keep running no matter what. I dodge falling rocks and pieces of buildings as I run towards safety.

I hear my mother yell my name and then a cry. I turn back and see that debris has fallen on my mother. I rushed back to help her but it's no use. She tells me to run and to not look back, and so I do.

Tears fall from my eyes as I run. "Papa!" I look everywhere for him, but he's nowhere to be found.

An explosion happens behind me almost knocking me off of my feet. My ears ring and my head throbs. I look around at what was once my home, and fall to my knees.

Midgard. What was once a beautiful place had now been ruined by it's own mythical creatures. There was no one to protect them. There was no one to help fight back. Life on midgard was over.

I look up at the sky and see Odin, ruler of the nine realms, and his Asgardian army. They attack the mythical creatures killing them one by one. They leave no creature alive.

A woman is with him, Frigga, she reaches for me and takes me into her arms.

"You're safe now, my dear. Nothing is ever going to hurt you again." I cry in her arms. I cry both tears of sadness and tears of relief.

They take me back to Asgard where I meet their sons, Thor and Loki Odinson. I knew at that moment who would have my heart, and it wasn't the future king.

There were some nights where I would wake up screaming for my mother and father knowing they are dead.

Loki would always be the first one to my room to comfort me. He'd hold me in his arms and tell me everything would be okay and that he'll protect me.

A couple months went by like this. Loki and I grew close, but my past traumatized me from getting too close to anyone.

They always die in the end. I tell myself.

Fire. Water. Wind. Earth. Elementals threatened the universe. I fear the day they come to Asgard. I see Asgard going up in flames. Rock monsters forming. Tornadoes and floods. They all overwhelm me.

•END FLASHBACK/DREAM•

I wake up gasping for air. Loki is beside me. "Hey, hey you're okay. It was just a dream. Look at me. You're okay." He holds ms close.

"N-no, it wasn't a dream. It was a memory. My memory. When I told y'all I couldn't remember what happened before I was brought to Asgard just came flooding in." I start to hyperventilate.

"It's too much to handle. Loki I'm scared. I think it was a warning." Loki looks at me with a troubled look. "I'll tell my father about your concerns, but for now get some rest. I'll be back to check on you later." He kisses my forehead.

I nod and lay back down. I can't stop thinking about what just happened. I thought about it so much until I finally managed to fall asleep.
