Song: All I Need by Within Temptation
Chapter 4: Of Furniture and Songs
Two days passed and with Elsa's help Loki was healing. However, the last two days were filled with torment for him as more memories of Elsa's supposed previous life haunted his dreams, bringing long forgotten feelings with them. The more memories he had the more he realized that he was in love with Lase before his memory disappeared.
Loki sat on a chair made of ice and one of the many rooms pondering while Elsa was making more ice furniture on the other end of the room. Why would his memories of Lase completely vanish? Most of them were light hearted and fun, especially after he gave her his power so that she would live. However, Odin wasn't happy with what happened, saying Lase could become a threat because those powers were meant for a Frost Giant, not an Asgardian. Despite his cleverness, Loki could not figure out what happened to make things the way they were now.
"Are you alright, Loki? You've been quiet for some time now." Elsa inquired struggling to make a coffee table in front of a made couch her and Loki made earlier.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just some important memories long forgotten are resurfacing and I'm trying to figure out how I forgot them." Loki frowned, "With my brilliant mind, I shouldn't have forgotten them."
Giving up on the deformed coffee table she was working on, Elsa walked over and kneeled in front of him, "Perhaps I can help in some way, if you'd like?"
Loki sighed, grabbed her hands and pulled her up as he rose, so they were both standing close, "Now is not the time for me to reveal my past. You will not like what you hear."
"Alright." Elsa whispered before she pulled away and returned to the coffee table. She struggled to keep control of her power as she held both hands above the table.
Loki laughed at the anger and desperation that crossed her face. "Let me help you." He stated as he walked up behind her. When he placed his hands on both her arms and grabbed her wrists, power surged from her hands and the table was completed and perfect. After she stopped releasing her power, Elsa leaned back into Loki's chest.
She was shuddering and from her wrists, Loki could feel that her heart rate was fast. "Elsa, are you okay?"
"Yes, I…" she paused and pulled away, "I'm going for a walk. I need some fresh air." With that she left.
Loki followed her but kept hidden. He was concerned, not because he cared for her, but because he didn't want his key to gaining the throne of Asgard to vanish. She walked a short distance from the castle into a wooded area.
She played with her ice magic, pushing up snow flurries around her, and then began to sing:
I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn?
I've lost all my trust,
Though I've surely tried to turn it around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now, don't let it close
I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning around
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Loki stepped out of his hiding place. Elsa was still stirring up flurries as she sang. When she turned around and saw him she paused but then continued singing:
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Elsa walked around him in a large circle still singing:
I tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don't break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don't tear me down
Finally she slowly walked towards him finishing up her song with:
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
Elsa looked up at Loki. In response, Loki hugged her and said, "Elsa, I could never hurt you." He knew full well that he was lying to her, and for the first time in his life, there was a hint of guilt.
"I promised myself I wouldn't be a naïve as my sister, Anna. But these past two days with you helping me with my power and getting to know you, has made me think twice about my promise." Hugging him tighter she then said, "I don't know what it is, but there is something familiar about you Loki. Your face, you voice, your touch all seem amazingly familiar. I can't explain it. When we first met I was nervous but after we talked something told me I could trust you."
"I understand what you mean." Loki replied. Then pulling away, he grabbed her hand and led her back to the castle saying, "Let's go back, we still have a lot of furniture to make."
