During the night, Loki tossed and turned, before hearing someone nearing Sky's cell, he quickly jumped in his defensive posture and got up being careful not to wake Sky, he saw the guards coming closer and they opened the barrier, "We knew you would be in here, dog! Your illusions don't fool us." The first guard snapped, walking in to the cell looking at Loki who was protecting Sky, "Do what ever you want to me but do not hurt her!" He growled as the second guard came in and grabbed him, "No we want her to see this, by the orders of the all father, you are to have you lips sewn shut to keep that sliver tongue of yours quiet."

Sky heard voices and woke up, "Loki..." She whispered then saw the guards holding Loki by his throat, "Well well little princess nice to see you are finally awake." He spoke, "Let him go!" She demanded going over to Loki but out of no where a third guard came and kicked her down and punched her, "Oh no you don't." He snarled pulling her up by her hair making look directly at Loki who looked at her while the two guards holding him got the thread and needle ready, "A last words you want to say to your whore of a wife?" The first guard snapped. Loki gave Sky a loving look, "I love you with all my heart, Sky. You and Lakely are the only people that matter to me, you will always be my family." He spoke his voice filled with sadness and emotion toward Sky, Sky jumped up and went to cuddle him tightly, "I love you, Loki. You will always be my family." She cried, her tears falling on to the floor. The guards watched her cry, "Awe don't cry little girl, it won't hurt him." The second guard neared Loki and started threading the needle through Loki's lips making him flinch in pain and his eyes watered, Sky who was being held back looked away from the sight in front of her.

When the needle pierced Loki's skin , he let out a loud scream of pain and anger. He struggle resulted in a dreadful amount of blood dripping from his lips onto the floor. Sky watched this and in horror, she pushed the guard holding her off angered by the cruelty of what was happening, she hit the second guard holding Loki, "Leave him!! You are hurting him!!" She screamed seeing the blood dripping from Loki's mouth.

The agony was unbearable for Loki as he tried squirming his way to Sky but he refused to give in to the grip of the two men who had a hold him but the guard sewing his lips could not work any quicker then the speed he was working at. When it was done, the guards stepped away and threw Loki on to the floor in front of Sky. He began sobbing, his body shaking uncontrollably. Sky grabbed hold of him and cradled him in her arms, holding him close to her chest. Loki caught her eye, silently begging her for help. Sky put her hand through his hair, "I won't let them hurt you anymore, my angel." She whispered to him assuring him that she will always be there. Loki moved up on her, quietly whimpering. Trying to open his mouth, he only made it bleed more. Sky noticed this and put her soft fingers on his lip, "Don't you will only make them bleed more." She told him before Loki looked up at her and tried to kiss her fingers but the thread was to tight and only covered her fingers in more of his blood. Despite everything, Loki knew he still had Sky by his side after everything they had done she was still queen of his heart even though he couldn't tell her, he always made hints to show her how much he really did care. He rested his head on Sky's chest, quietly sobbing, Sky looked down at him with tears in her eyes. Sky gently rubbed his back to soothe him as she lovingly cuddled him not caring about getting blood on her. As she wiped the blood off Loki's lips and chin along with his tears. Loki looked down and started to whine, "Shhh, Shhh. I have you, Loki. No one will destroy that." Sky purred as she cradled Loki for the rest of the night.

When morning broke, Thor woke up after hearing what had happened to Loki, he decided to make his way to the dungeons to see Sky, walking down to bottom of the palace, he looked around and saw the girl he once loved curled up on her bed along with Loki snuggling in to her. "Sky." He whispered softly trying to get the brunettes attention.

Sky heard him and looked over at the barrier, seeing Thor standing their she felt her blood starting to boil as she got up being careful not to wake Loki, she stormed over to the barrier, "Come to laugh?" She snapped at him, "No, I have come to apologise." He looked down, "Don't bother. If it wasn't for you, Lakely would still have his parents by his side and secondly Loki would not have his lips sewn shut!" She growled at him until she saw a young boy standing next to Thor, "Mummy.." The young raven haired boy spoke softly, "Lakely.." Sky whispered trying to hold back her tears, "You have grown..." She spoke to him as Lakely moved towards the barrier to be near his mother, "Yes, I have mummy. Also auntie Frigga has been teaching me magic just like daddy." He smiled happily before looking over at Thor, "Can I go inside, uncle Thor? I just want a cuddle from mummy." Lakely asked as he looked back over at his mother, his pale complexion which was exactly like Loki's shined in the dim lights. "You shouldn't but as she is your mother I will make an exception." Thor spoke to the young boy then looked up at Sky, "Thank you, Thor." Sky spoke before Thor opened up the barrier and Lakely came running in and knocked Sky on the floor happily, "Mummy!!!" He squealed, holding on to her tightly not wanting to let go, "Where is daddy?" Lakely asked her while he laid on top of her, Sky looked over at Thor and bit her lip as Loki came over hearing his son, "Daddy!" Lakely jumped off Sky and tightly hugged his father before noticing his lips, "What's wrong with daddy, mummy?" The young toddler asked as Sky went over to them, "By the orders of the all father, your daddy had to have his lips sewn together so he couldn't trick or lie to anyone." She told her son making Lakely cry, "But why, what has daddy done wrong?" He sobbed holding his fathers side before Thor came along, "Lakely, your father is known as the god of mischief and lies. He could trick and manipulate people very easily using his magic." Thor told him making Sky fume internally, "Thank you, Thor." She mumbled quietly before she took hold of Loki and Lakely, hugging them both, "Daddy isn't a monster, uncle Thor. He looks after mummy and he treats her well!!" The young boy snarled in a way that reminded Thor of Loki when they were younger. Sky held Lakely tightly, "We know he isn't a monster sweetheart. Daddy loves you just as much as he loves me, if not more." She assured her son before looking at Loki who nodded softly and holding his hands out for his family, "Could you leave us, Thor. We want to be alone for a while." Sky spoke to him softly, "As you wish my lady but you can't have long." He told her gently watching them walking over to Sky's bed.

When Thor left, Lakely snuggled down with his parents, holding them tightly he knew he didn't want to leave them, "I don't want to leave. The few other children bully me because of what happened to you both." He wiped his tear stained face, Sky looked down at the young boy and frowned, "They what?! Isn't Thor helping you?" She asked concerned for her sons safety, "They do it when he isn't around, I have told him and thats when he brought me down here to see you." Lakely curled up to Sky softly as not to hurt her, "Listen baby, don't take a blind bit of notice what them idiots have to say, you are special and they are jealous of it! To be honest just because they haven't got parents like yours they start on you because you have. Do not show them you are scared because me and your father both know you are a strong boy and you can beat them." Sky looked down at him in her lap and cuddled him tightly before Loki came over to them both and nudged Lakely softly and showed him his magic making Sky widen her eyes and smile, "You still have your magic!" She whispered to him making Loki nod to her, Lakely squealed seeing his fathers magic before he tried doing the same but frowned when he couldn't. "It takes a few years to master, my petal." Sky lovingly spoke to him as she kissed his head and winked at Loki who was entertaining Lakely by showing him his advanced skills.

"Oh now you are just showing off, Loki." Sky shook her head smiling as Loki tried to smirk at her but found it painful to do, "Again daddy!!" Lakely squealed, jumping about in Sky's lap, "Look if you are going to jump around, sit on the bed and not my lap." She spoke as Lakely stopped jumping and sat normally in her lap while Loki magically casted an illusion of himself which started to walk behind Sky and kiss her neck, "You are the queen of my heart, you always have been and always will be until the day, I die." He whispered before looking down at Lakely, "I love you, Lakely. I promise as soon as I get out of here I will teach you all my magic tricks, so you can outwit those miserable bullies." He winked at his son before disappearing and the real Loki sat next to them, putting both his hands on them, one on Sky's leg and the other holding Lakely's small hand before Thor came back in, "Come on Lakely! Its time for your magic lesson!" He called to the young boy. "No! I don't want to leave them!" Lakely cried grabbing hold of his mother tightly, "I don't want to be bullied again!" He sobbed as Loki got in Thor's way defending his wife and son, "Out of the way, Loki." Thor frowned as he walked over to the bed as Loki went over to his son, "You will not get bullied again, I had a word with auntie Frigga and she is willing to tutor you on your own because you are so advanced." Thor told the crying boy, "I want to stay here with them." Lakely didn't look up but felt his fathers hand on his back. Sky looked up at Loki and winked before mouthing, "Use your magic." Loki read what she had just said and sent Thor crashing in to the wall of the cell as she picked Lakely up and went straight for the barrier with Loki following her.

Making their escape, Loki used his magic to transport them to their bed chamber, "Loki, we haven't got time for this!" Sky cried feeling Lakely wrapping his arms around her neck and then saw Loki changing his clothing to his normal, black leather with traces of green and gold while Sky magically changed in to a short, black dress as she put Lakely down on their beds she walked over to Loki and examined his lips thinking of a way to break the thread, she magically pulled a dagger out and started to cut at the loose pieces, releasing Loki's lips making Loki gasp, "Oh thats better." He chimed before looking over at Lakely and smiled, "Daddy!" Lakely smiled, "I can finally talk to you now." Loki chuckled taking his son in to his arms and looking at Sky, "My beautiful queen, we need to escape, do we not?" He grabbed Sky's hand and magically disappeared.
