You hear footsteps approach as you lovingly remain embraced with Loki.

"Flower, I-I-know it's late, and the eclipse will start soon, but may I request that dance now?"

You break away from Loki and look happily at Huggin.

"If that's okay with Loki" he adds

Loki looked at you, and saw your beseeching eyes.

He relents, deciding not to sour the night by his unhealthy jealousy. He nods, and stepped away, inviting Huggin to take his place.

Huggin smiled at Loki, and ushered closer to you, holding out his hand for you to take.

"I've been waiting for you Huggin" you say, placing your palm inside his.

Loki walked beside you as you and Huggin entered the great hall.

"Is there any particular dance you wish to perform Flower?" Huggin asked

"Hmmm" you ponder in thought

"May I suggest the waltz, she's very good" Loki whispered in Huggin's ear, making sure you didn't hear his suggestion.

"Thank you Brother" Huggin says happily

You narrow your eyes in wonder seeing Loki smirk as Huggin guided you to the dance floor, and as Huggin positioned his pose and took your hands, you understood why he grinned wide.

You glared at Loki, he knew well you were terrible at the waltz, and now poor Huggin's toes were about to be trampled when you ungracefully fumble the steps.

The music began and as you were swayed, you felt inclined to apologise before the first toes were squished.

"I'm sorry Huggin, Loki lied. I'm terrible at the Waltz"

He chuckled "I know he lied, I watched you dance with him earlier. But any dance with you, regardless of how well it's performed will be the highlight of my night, and besides, I have large talons not toes. You couldn't hurt me with those dainty feet" he laughs, while looking down at your open toe heels.

You giggled, loving how Huggin remained composed knowing Loki tried to be his usual trickster self.

You swayed with Huggin, and enjoyed your time immensely as you conversed in a long over due conversation. Often laughing at the funny quips he made.

You found the talk distracted you, which oddly helped with your dancing ability, you danced better when not trying so hard to be good.

Odin suddenly addressed everyone in the hall, announcing the imminent moon eclipse.

Your dance with Huggin came to an end, both of you about to go off and find Loki but Loki had already resumed his place by your side, looking a little disgruntled that you didn't step on Huggin's feet not once.

"Is something the matter My Love?" you ask playfully

"Nothing Darling. Nothing at all" he smiled, brushing away his resentment.

You beamed at him, finding it refreshing to see no jealousy.

It seemed he was finally trusting Huggin's company around you, especially after you explained it was Huggin who helped you escape the hall, aiding you in the jail break.

The three of you walked onto the balcony, joining the crowds that looked up at the night sky in anticipation of the eclipse.

You looked around and already saw couples embrace, and kiss. Your heart warmed seeing Thor with Meddie, recognising the look of love on their face, the look you and Loki share so often.

More and more couples cuddled, hoping the ledgend of blessed fertility was true should they kiss under the moon's eclipse.

You held Loki's hand and squeezed it tight, he looked at you before turning to see what you gazed at.

He smiled, knowing you wanted a kiss too.

He happily obliged, gently turning your body to face him, his large hands cupping your face as his lips softly melted into yours.

You kissed under the beginnings of the eclipse, Loki's touch sending electric currants of arousal low in your body.

You hear Huggin cough, and Loki suddenly broke away. You curiously see him nod to Huggin before Loki excused himself.

"I will be just a moment sweetheart, don't go anywhere" he says excited

You watch in surprise as Loki darts away, disappearing within the crowds.

You turn to Huggin who simply smiles at you, keeping his lips pursed, not giving away any of the obvious surprise Loki had planned.

Huggin resumed his gazing, looking back up to the night sky, completely distracted by the almost complete eclipse.

You suddenly feel a gentle touch near your neck, and then a low barely audible whisper in your ear.

"Come with me"

You feel a hand grip yours, and your led away through the darkness to a more secluded part of the balcony.

You feel a body press up against your chest, and two hands firmly resting on your neck. A sudden mix of sensations flowed through you, desire, want, need.

"Kiss me Loki!" you say, all of a sudden craving affection, desperate for his lips to be on yours.

Lips crashed down against yours just as the moon disappeared into a total eclipse. The palace balcony and all of Asgard was sheathed in darkness.

You expected to feel something explosive, but it was flat, and rather disappointing. The kiss didn't match your hammering heart.

Your mind swirled as you kissed, yet it was not the blissful dizziness you usually felt when locked into an embrace, there was no warmth, no love, just cold lustful desire.

You think you faintly hear your name being called in the distance, a panic in the voice. But as the eclipsed passed resuming the bright glow of the moon, people started clapping and cheering, it drowned out the panicked yell.

You suddenly hear an audible gasp, you opened your eyes to smile at Loki, only to be greeted with a smug Prince Beren.

Your eyes widened in confusion, and your stomach lurched, suddenly hit with immense nausea.

You stumbled back, your vision a blur as shock seeped in.

You direct your gaze towards the crowd, your eyes locking with Loki.

He stood just a few feet away, his glazed eyes stared back at you, hurt....heartbroken....betrayed.

You realised it wasn't Loki who took your hand in the dark but Beren, you were kissing Beren as Loki yelled out in a mad panic when he found you gone.

More nausea washed over you brought on by deep guilt.

"Loki ...I thought" you stutter

He cut you off with an angry growl, throwing down the red rose he was going to surprise you with as the moonlight came back.

You look at him pleadingly, stepping forward to explain but his anguished expression changed to anger.

He held out his arms and commanded you to stop, not wanting you near him. His demeanour shunning you, directing his gaze to Beren instead.

As the two princes locked eyes, Loki saw a sly smirk creep onto Beren's face. He became infuriated, positioning himself into a wrathful stance.

Another snarl resonated from deep inside Loki's chest.

It was so fierce the gathered crowd stepped back, fearing at any moment he'd turn into a frost giant right before them. They scattered, deciding it was safer to move inside away from the angry Jotun.

Loki's chest heaved, rising up and down in maddening rage. The feeling of betrayal overwhelming him.

"Loki don't!" Thor yells, anticipating a storm

You knew if Loki physically hurt the prince in front of witnesses, he'd be charged, investigated and possibly imprisoned. This time Beren would certainly press charges.

Beren's smirk got wider, knowing he couldn't be touched.

"How about a dance princess, and maybe later another sweet kiss" he taunts, suddenly gripping your waist and pulling you in.

Loki was a charged bull, seeing only red, he sprinted forward heading straight for Beren.

You quickly broke free from his grasp, and crashed into Loki.

You held your hands flat onto his chest, forced to use your own powerful magic to anchor yourself to the ground, it was the only way to stop him from moving past you and attacking Beren.

No matter how much you called to him, he wouldn't look at you, refusing to even acknowledge you, his eyes glued to Beren only.

You felt hurt, fearing the reason he doesn't look at you was because he was disgusted, his heart finally awoken to how unworthy you were for him.

At that moment you felt repulsed at yourself, you didn't blame him for shunning you, not after this betrayal. Yet, your mind was so confused, still not understanding how you ended in Beren's arms, how you came to kiss him.

"Loki stop. Just stop please. Let me explain" you plead, whilst using all your strength against him.

He continued pushing into you, but your magic held him steady. You bravely moved your hands to his face, forcing his head to look at you.

"Look at me Loki please!" You beg

He stopped his struggling and finally looked at you.

"Loki I thought it was-"

"Quiet" he ordered you, instantly making you hush.

"You were just amusing me, you never fully opened your heart to me. You merely strung me along before someone else came by who could offer you more. Queen of Alfheim sounds too good to pass up, right darling?"

"Loki it's not what it looks like"

He scoffs " I knew I was unworthy of love. I should never have allowed you to unthaw my cold heart. But she did, she... not you. Because you're not her. You're not the person I fell in love with. Not when you don't remember me fully"

Loki shoved you away causing you to stumble back into the prince, Beren's arms catching you just before you fell to the ground.

Loki looked at you with sudden worry, a glimpse of regret tugged at his heart fearing he pushed you too hard, but he resumed his fury when he saw Beren's arms wrapped around your waist.

He glared at you in what looked like intense loathing before barging through the crowd.

You pulled out of Beren's grip and ran after him through the hoards of people, your heart fiercely pounding in your chest as you shouted out Loki's name.

You stop within the middle of the hall, immersed deep inside the crowds. You spin around in search, your teary eyes scanning the room intently for Loki.

But he was gone.

Disappeared out of the hall.

Odin had instructed the band to continue playing. Music an indication that all was well, and to resume the joyous occasion.

The merriment went on all around you as you stood in the middle of the crowd with a broken heart.

You looked shocked at the people, they witnessed your world crash down, they saw your heart shatter into fragments, yet they carry on in their blissful bubble of royal life.

You detested everyone at the ball, their apathetic manner and jolly laughter provoked your anger, causing it to bubble up inside you.

You felt heat surge through your body, the intensity of your virgin power built up inside you, ready to explode.

You felt it, felt the extreme power run through your veins.

You looked down at your arms and saw it flow under your skin, white beams replaced your blue veins as you got angrier and more wrathful.

You wanted to scream, needed to scream, your body and mind desperately seeking a way to release your pent up frustration.

Amongst the chaos in your head, and the ache in your heart you heard your name called, over and over.

Your gleaming eyes stared forward, and in your emotional breakdown you see Thor and Huggin come to a stop just a few feet away. Their eyes wide with feared shock.

"Sister, please. Calm yourself, put your magic away" Thor's voice was scared, fearful of the magic that glowed all around you.

"Do not tell me to calm!" you yell, expelling tears as you shout out your extreme emotional pain.

Your rage made your voice boom louder than the music, it echoed all around the hall.

Odin and Frigga had believed you ran after Loki, but your sudden loud voice now made them aware of your presence still within the hall.

The music ended, and the crowds that were dancing happily, suddenly dispersed in fear like cockroaches in all directions.

You looked around seeing their bodies line up against the walls, some retreated away from the palace entirely fearing your negative energy.

"Dear child, please breathe. Your unbalanced emotions are triggering your magic, magic you've not yet learned to use" Queen Frigga pleads, warily approaching you.

The crowd watched as the Queen tried to calm your storm, your magic now starting to emanate within your palms.

You direct your saddened gaze to Queen Frigga, she let out a gasp when she saw your eyes were no longer blue, but a florescent glow of white.

She smiled at you nervously, then opened her arms wide, welcoming you inside the safety of them.

Seeing her welcome soothed you. You were convinced everyone you cared about hated you for your betrayal to Loki, yet here she was, offering an embrace.

You took a step forward, the glow of your magic slowly fading. Slowly calming.

"I order you to stand down, Princess. Calm your Odin's force immediately!"

You stopped your stride towards Frigga, and grinned darkly.

Your power now burned so brightly around your body that it resembled white flames.

"Odin! what have you done?!" Yelled Frigga

"It's not your force, but MINE!" you scream, your body suddenly rising off the ground and floating in mid air.

The crowd screamed in panic at witnessing your magic physically lift you, the beams of white shooting out from your hands and scorching the floor below.

Your outrage was on the warpath and Odin was your main target.

"Prepare to feel my wrath Odin! It truly will be me who'll bring about the destruction of your empire!"

A white beam suddenly flew towards Odin, he duct down just in time, the beam narrowly missing him.

"Sister please! Stop!" Thor yelled, fearing for your life and the lives of others

You ignored Thor's pleas, and continued your rampage against Odin, firing beam after beam towards him.

Each time he counteracted with his own Odin force, using his spear to dislodge your shot, but his defence grew weak as his stamina depleted.

You smiled seeing Odin grow tired, he stumbled back onto his golden steps, almost to the point of collapse.

You suddenly hear a laugh come from the crowd, it distracted your fury from Odin.

You lowered your feet down on the ground, and addressed the crowd, much to the relief of Odin who knew he was about to be beaten publicly in front of all the realms leaders.

"Who laughed at my pain?!" you yell enraged

The crowd suddenly grew silent, no one owning up to the snickers.

Your furious eyes suddenly saw the face of the mysterious man who helped you with Beren, the same man who magically slapped your ass.

He smiled at you, his expression in absolute awe.

You watched as he shoved Prince Beren out of the mass, revealing the culprit who laughed.

"He was the one who laughed at you" he said firmly, his voice deep, seductive.

You glared at Beren, remembering the sickening kiss, reliving your shock at seeing him in front of you instead of Loki.

You couldn't just blame yourself, he was also at fault.

"You're a bad man, and deserve punishments!" You say sternly, full of fiery rage.

You lift your hands and emanate a beam, ready to fire when he suddenly kneeled before you, deathly afraid for his life.

"Please, please don't hurt me. It was me, all me, you're not to blame. I controlled you, made you kiss me, I admit it in front of everyone here! and l'll confess to Loki"

You looked at him confused "what do you mean you controlled me?"

Beren went quiet, now aware he blurted out too much.

"Speak Prince Beren, or feel her wrath!" Queen Frigga demanded

Your eyes saw movement behind Prince Beren, you gazed at the dark haired man behind him, and saw his hand pointing to your neck.

"The necklace" ... he mouthed silently...

You looked down to your necklace, and then to Beren.

"You controlled me with the necklace, it's enchanted!" you declare in shock, your self loathing slowly easing.

Beren suddenly looked at you wide eyed, wondering how you knew.

"I-I-.... Forgive me, it was merely a jest, a prank gone too far, I see the error of my ways now"

You inhale a stuttered gasp at hearing him confess, your powerful force slowly fading and coming to a rest.

Odin was about to address you seeing your more calmer side, but Queen Frigga quickly silenced him.

"Everyone here bare witness, the princess was tricked, her mind controlled by Prince Beren. She was in no way at fault for her actions, not the kiss and neither her outburst in the great hall this evening" Queen Frigga announced out loud for all to hear.

You looked at the Queen, and to Thor and Huggin. Your eyes pleading with them to forgive you.

"She acted how all betrayed women would!" yelled a noble women from within the crowd

"The princess merely exerted her rights! you acted accordingly Goddess!" Uttered another royal.

"King Odin should never have allowed an enchanted object to pass the palace walls. He failed her with low standards of security!" chanted the mysterious man, your helper.

"Hear! Hear!" the mass cried out

Your eyes met with your mysterious helper, his comment made you remember that Prince Beren had permission from Odin to visit you in your private chambers, and that's when he gave you the necklace.

You smile hearing the majority of the crowd didn't hate you, or didn't blame you for your outburst. Not after finding out you were mind controlled.

"I'm sorry Flower, I shouldn't have been so distracted by the eclipse. I looked away for a few seconds and you were gone from my side, please forgive me!" Huggin pleaded, stepping forward.

"It's not your fault Huggin" you say sincerely, your eyes fading back to blue

"Neither is it yours Flower" he replies

"I will make sure Loki knows Sister, knows you didn't betray him" Thor declares

"The only betrayal was from Alfheim, and Loki and all the realms will know of it" Queen Frigga says defiantly, while looking at Beren.

"A mere jest gone wrong. Not betrayal Queen Frigga!" Beren says nervously.

"Quiet Beren!" Boomed Odin "Alfheim will need to pay a great debt to Asgard for this intrusion tonight"

You glared at Odin, of course he would require wealth as compensation instead of implementing a criminal charge.

You didn't care, a weight was lifted off your shoulders at knowing you didn't betray Loki on purpose. You couldn't hate yourself anymore.

The last of your force dissipated from around your body, you were back to being yourself. No longer infuriated with uncontrolled rage.

You looked around the room, seeing the still and peeking faces of royals stare at you.

"I suppose, we continue the festivities?" you say with shrugged shoulders

"Hear hear!" boomed a noble man, and with that announcement the music began to play once more, the masses moving away from the walls and back on the dance floor.

You stare in amazement as you observe the royal men and women go back to partying, putting aside all the commotion once again.

"What can I say, Gods and Royals love to party" Thor says, seeing your exasperated and stunned expression.

He stood next to you with a beaming smile, Huggin and Frigga by his side.

"You really don't hate me?" you ask with trepidation, tears beginning to form.

"Never Flower" Huggin immediately chirped

"Sister, I could never feel hate towards you"

Your eyes welled fresh tears hearing Huggin and Thor, suddenly finding yourself sob.

"Dear child, do not weep. We'd never feel any ill feelings towards you. Not ever! you're our family, my future daughter, we love you dearly as does Loki"

Your eyes dart to Frigga, hearing Loki's name made you stutter a sob. Your lower lip quivering as you blink through tears.

"I should have known, I should have felt the control, will he still love me?" you ask hesitantly

"Sister, do you think Loki would allow you to be Beren's? He would fight for you! Loki storming off was just his dramatic exit before he came back with force to win your heart" Thor laughed

You smile, hoping it was true. Maybe Loki did just need a little cooling off before he eventually come back to you.

"I thought Loki was overly dramatic, but witnessing your outburst dear I think you've beat Loki hands down, you deserve an academy award. It was glorious!" Frigga beamed

"And did you see fathers face? he was huffing and puffing.. struggling to keep up with your force" Thor exclaims, causing all of you to laugh out loud  together.

Yet behind the smile, and your forced laugh, your mind was consumed with thoughts of Loki.

Can he still look at you as he once did without replaying the vivid kiss of betrayal, and will he ever accept that your past memories are simply gone.
