Julianna shot up in bed in severe pain. Her chest was on fire, and she found it difficult to breathe. Fenrir ran out of the room and came back, followed by Frigga. Julianna was struggling to breathe as Frigga sat next to her ." Breath, deep breaths ."Frigga said, she did, and it made it easier. As she started to breathe normally again, another lady came in.
"My name is Doctor Emmy. I'm here to give you something for the pain and change your bandages ." She said, sitting where Frigga had vacated. Emmy worked fast and carefully as Frigga paced by and watched. When she was done, Julianna felt much better.
When the Emmy left, Frigga sat on the bed next to her ."My dear, you need to relax for a few days ... If you need to go somewhere, let the guard outside know so you don't reinjure yourself, please." Frigga said Julianna nodded, unable to speak ." I know you are in a tough spot ...but whoever you choose, we will honor it... I'm gonna go let you rest ."Frigga said, leaving
Fenrir jumped up next to her. 'Does that mean Frigga knows I have feelings for Loki?' She sat lost in thought for a couple of hours. She yearned for Loki to be here with her, but she was to be married to his brother. But Thor was still due to be gone for a while. She was lost; she wished her mother was still alive.
Her mother always knew what to say to her when she needed advice. As she thought this, she felt a weird cold spread across her. It was like the other night when Loki was with her and adjusted his body temperature to cool her when she had a fever.
The next month went by in a flash. Julianna was still sore but was healing well; she was still figuring out wedding details. she was worried that no one had heard from either Thor or Loki all this time. Fenrir had been a huge help in her not feeling so alone he was with her wherever she went.
She decided to take a break and walked to the flower garden. There weren't many flowers left due to it getting colder in Asgard, but it comforted her to be here. This and the library is where she spent most of her time. She sat where she and Loki had their picnic.
Remember that day she smiled, she was so happy. Loki made her feel like she could do nothing wrong . She missed him so much that her heart hurt just thinking of him. She missed the way he smiled, the way he seemed to light up when he saw her, and his scent was so calming.
He was the best thing that happened to her, but she knew if she chose him, she would be letting down her kingdom and her father. She wished she hadn't been an only child. She didn't want to be the Queen; she wanted to be happy and the person that made her happy she couldn't be with.
In the month since he left, she came to terms with the fact that he was previously married and had children. She loved Fenrir and couldn't imagine a life without him either. Loki opened up about his past, and she sent him away. He must hate her now.
She could call him back at any time, but she resited .She needed time, but the time without him has been hell. She's been trying to keep herself busy so as to not be in pain. But it seeped back when she slept. Her dreams have been excruciatingly painful.
She dreamt of Loki every night. And that was the happiest time in her day without him. Frigga had given her blessing no matter which of her sons she chose. But would Odin be as understanding? he despised Loki. He thought that Loki was unworthy to even be allowed to live in Asgard, amongst anything else.
Frigga entered the garden just then. Fenrir looked up and woofed in welcome, causing Julianna to jump. She looked and saw Frigga was with Loki. Her heart jumped; seeing him, it had been so long. He seemed off, though she couldn't place it. She stood as they approached and looked at Frigga.
"Julianna, it's come to our attention. You are needed back on Amaorda. Your father is ill. Loki came back to escort you, so you are safe on your journey." Frigga said. Julianna looked at both of them and nodded. Frigga turned and left. Leaving Julianna there with Loki and Fenrir.
Julianna tried to walk by Loki, but he grabbed her arm. Electricity ran up her arm from where he touched her, she gasped. He looked at her in shock. 'What just happened, she thought.' " Pet ... Are you ok?" Loki asked her she nodded and slipped from his grasp. She headed to the door. Loki and Fenrir followed her.
She went to her room, which was down the hall from Loki's. She opened the door, but Loki stopped on the outside of the door. She looked at him and sighed. Fenrir came in with her and jumped on the end of her bed and lay down. "You can come in." She said, going to the closet.
She gathered a small bag to take with her ." Are we going by jet again ?" She asked, seeing he had come in and was standing by her window. "No, we are traveling by the bifrost; it's quicker, and you are needed immediately." Loki said, not looking at her.
She sighed and walked out of the closet, " lead the way." She said he nodded and turned and exited the door.
