Maeve was sitting at the window of the home of Loki and Sigyn, god and goddess of time.
She was staring out into the darkness, with a UV ray lamp pointed towards her. It offered her enough sunlight to gather energy, but none of the warmth.
It had been a month now since her husband had left to find his other wife, the one he didn't know he had been married to since they were reincarnated and he hadn't communicated back yet.
However, she knew he had found her because she felt it through the bond.
He had fought a huge battle, and she had felt all of the pain, but it didn't hurt as much as it did when she also felt him falling in love with her.
Her.
Who is she that she can take my husband?
She had really never interacted with humans or anything similar before she had been put into the void. And she couldn't remember if she ever had fallen in love before her incarceration either, but being with him for the short time she had been with him, she had felt like she loved him.
He had grown on her quite a bit and she had grown on him, and she had thought that with time he would have loved her the way that she felt him loving someone else now.
Now she wouldn't have the chance.
She folded her arms and leaned on the windowsill and watched to see if today he would be back, and a tear fell down her face and dripped onto her forearm and she wiped it away before also wiping her cheek.
She always felt like she would belong in this family. She referred to Loki as her father in law even though he was technically her husband's' grandfather, and Sigyn was his step- grandmother, so it was obvious she was more of a mother in law too.
During the past months, she had visited many times with him, as well as living here alone now, so her and this family had gotten closer, especially the boys who were almost her age.
Vali was the older one, the werewolf boy Loki and Sigyn had adopted, he would be 18 next month. Narfi was the younger one and son of Loki and Sigyn. He was probably human, but with a bit more strength. He hadn't cared to learn magic yet, so he didn't have abilities. He longed to leave the void and be amongst the humans.
As she was wiping a tear that had fallen on the windowsill, Vali and Narfi came over to offer her a turkey sandwich that Sigyn had made.
"He still hasn't come back yet huh." Narfi said as he sat down on the living room couch and turned on the tv.
"Shut up Narfi, isn't it obvious?" Vali said and smacked him on the back of the head as he stole the remote and sat down next to him.
"Do you want to watch anything Maeve?" Vali asked her.
She sniffled and got up to sit between the boys and Vali handed her the remote.
Narfi got up, and tried to take back the remote, it's not Maeve's turn to choose! She's going to watch Nature's wonders or something dumb about nature I just know it. The other day, I had to stare at trees for four hours!!!!!!!!"
"Quit complaining Narfi, you know you like volcanoes, that's nature too. I mean, if I was to pick something at least it would be about swords." Vali said.
"We can watch the one called Crimson petals." Maeve suggested, "I mean, Luan Darkness is so handsome!!!!!" She said.
Narfi stuck out his tongue, "girls and their love stuff bluh." He said, but once she clicked on it, he was invested.
Vali smirked at him. "Well, Luan Dark is super good at his moves, he did that cool battle scene in episode 76 where he was on that rooftop, I liked that one."
"Maeve smiled at him and they resumed watching the show that they turned on every night.
She pulled her knees up to her chest, feet on the couch, and hugged her knees to get herself comfortable.
Vali offered her some popcorn and she leaned on him, eating from the bowl.
After a while, Narfi went to bed.
"Hey, do you want to go to bed too? Or watch one more episode?" Vali asked her. "I kind of wanted to watch one more."
Maeve smiled, "I told you you like it!"
Vali smiled back, "alright, you got me, I admit it, I mean it's got swords."
"And Sakura is definitely going to kiss Luan!!!!!!" I just know it!
"You said that in the last episode, I bet she won't even talk to him at the beach; I heard she won't even confess her love to him until the second season." Vali argued.
Maeve punched him, "don't say that! You'll ruin it!!!" Then she snuggled herself in her cat blanket that she had been wearing and leaned into him again, stealing some more popcorn.
He put his arm along the back of the couch and smiled an evil grin because after the theme music, the anime characters did exactly what Vali had said, with Sakura chickening out at their beach day and ending up getting sunburned and going home boyfriendless.
Maeve scowled at him with narrowed eyes, "jerk." She said and got up, dumping her blanket on the floor as she put the remote away and turned off the television. When she came back over to grab her stuff, she accidentally stubbed her toe on the ceramic popcorn bowl which happened to now be hiding under her blanket.
She grabbed her toe and exclaimed, "gosh Vali! Why'd you put the popcorn bowl in the middle of the floor?!!!! That hurt!!!!!"
"Hey it's not my fault!!! You threw your cat blanket all over the floor!"
He was joking, but she suddenly crouched down and hugged her knees with her head facing the floor and began to cry.
"Hey hey hey, I didn't mean it Maeve! I was only joking!"
She shook her head, "its not you, it's happening again!" Her face was red and she was blushing and upset. "I can't stand it anymore! I want to leave him so bad!! Why won't he come back? Why must he torture me????!!!!" She sobbed.
Vali put his hand on her back to comfort her.
"he's sending me his lovey dovey feelings from him and that girl, and that stuff is like private!!! Why doesn't he notice that it hurts me??" She sobbed.
