Julianna found it difficult to catch her breath as her eyes tried to focus. That voice who did it belong to ? she looked at the clock and realized it was 1 in the morning, and loki wasn't with her .she got up and took the sheet with her .
she walked out on the balcony and sat on the ground .she dropped the sheet and pulled her legs to her chest. Where could he have gone this time ?he's always leaving me alone; she thought getting sad again .As she sat there looking out on her kingdom, she was lost in thought .
she was so lost in thought she didn't hear the footsteps behind her .she jumped and screamed when a hand touched her shoulder. "It's me, pet," loki said Julianna turned and slapped him ."You have got to stop sneaking up on me ." She said, watching him rub his face .
she touched his cheek where she hit him and sighed ." I'm sorry you just scared me .Where were you?" He didn't answer at first and then looked away ."Mother summoned me to talk about the ritual tomorrow. You were sleeping so soundly I didn't want to wake you, sorry."
she sighed, and he looked at her .she scooted into his lap, and he smiled ."My pet, aren't you cold out here with no clothes ?" She shook her head, then lay it on his shoulder . "Bad dream?" He asked she nodded .they sit there for a couple of hours .he stood with her in his arms.
As he walked to the bed, a voice sounded in his head ."You will never love her like you do me. I'm coming for you, love ." The voice said .he recognized it and sighed .Julianna looked at him with a confused look ." I'm just tired, pet ." he said he hated, lying to her .
she nodded, and they went to bed .they awoke the. Next morning. it was their wedding day, and Julianna sighed and rolled over .she didn't want to get out of bed; she had a bad feeling .loki woke and started running his fingers up her back . " Pet ?" He said with question to his voice .
she just lay there and didn't answer him .he rolled her to look at him. he had concern etched on his face .she lay her head on his chest, and he sighed ." Talk to me, please ." She shook her head as the door opened, and Jane Asher and Emily came in .
"Rise and shine sleepy heads. Today's the big day ." Jane said, jumping on the bed .Julianna smiled at her ."You need to go get dressed. I will see you at the altar ." Julianna said, kissing loki . he nodded and left .As he left, the maids brought her dress, and the bridesmaids dresses in .
After the dresses, some food and tea were brought in .Jane looked at her. "Julianna, are you ok?" Julianna nodded but didn't speak. she headed to take a shower, letting the other girls alone to chat . she took a nice, long hot shower, letting the shower wash away some of her fear .
she wrapped her hair and body in a towel and went out to see Jane doing ashers' hair ."Come, let's get you in your dress so we can do your hair and make-up. " Jane said Julianna walked to the bed where her dress was .she stood staring at it ."it's not gonna jump on ." Jane said with a smile .
Julianna slowly started to put her layers on when she was done. she sat in the chair in front of Jane and let her do what she needed to .After Jane finished, Julianna looked at herself in the mirror and smiled .she did look good, but the pit in her stomach came back .There was a knock that informed them that people were arriving.
Julianna took a deep breath .Jane , Emily, and Asher left .Julianna stood in her room, nervous. she still didn't know who was going to walk her down the aisle.a knock sounded just as she was about to open the door .On the other side stood odin; she gasped
"You look beautiful, my dear. I came to walk you down the aisle with your permission, of course. " He said, smiling at her.she smiled how thoughtful ." I'd love that, thank you. "She took his arm and then started down the hall to the dining hall.
as they walked, the pit in her stomach seemed to grow the sense that something was wrong grew .she tried to push it aside as they arrived behind the bridesmaids and groomsmen. loki was, of course, already at the altar waiting for her .The door opened, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen started to file through.
Odin reached up and placed her veil over her face .All she could do was smile at him, afraid she would be ill if she opened her mouth .The asgardian wedding music started, and the door opened again, and odin started walking with her .she sighed, seeing loki waiting at the front for her .
as they walked, she heard the gasps and awws as people watched her .they got to the front, and the preacher asked ." Who gives this woman away?"Odin smiled, placing her hand in lokis."I, odin king of asgard, give her ." he smiled and sat with frigga .Jane smiled at julianna as she handed her her bouquet.
The preacher started the ceremony and got to the part asking if anyone objected, and a voice in the back spoke up"I object." it said, causing everyone to gasp and look.
