fic so, just enjoy.
"Everyone deserves a second chance,"
Loki walked
the streets of McHenry alone. He was walking alone because his only friend
Bartleby was killed eighteen years ago. Sure God had made Loki an angel again
but he wasn't allowed back to Heaven. Loki was doomed to wonder the earth alone
without anyone in the world. As his gray-blue eyes scanned the cement sidewalk
of the city he felt someone run into him. He turned to the person that
plummeted into him.
"Oh I am so
sorry," it was a young girl about eighteen years old. Her chocolate brown hair
was tied in a braid behind her head. She was holding her hands up to her
shoulder as a defense of apology. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm
fine,"
"I really
am sorry. I should've paid attention,"
"Naw its
okay. Really," Loki reassured the girl. He looked at her marveling her beauty.
That's another thing God had cursed him with, mortal emotions.
"Mom says
that's my flaw. Not paying attention to where I'm going. I'm Chance," she held
her hand out.
"Loki,"
they shook hands.
"That's a
cool name,"
"Thanks,"
"So Loki I
still feel bad for running into you. Can I by you a drink or something,"
"I don't
drink alcohol,"
"Neither do
I, I can't for one thing. But… I know I'll by you lunch,"
"Sure,"
(Restaurant)
Loki and
Chance sat waiting for their food.
"So what
were you doing watching the sidewalk?" Chance asked.
"What else
can I watch?"
"I don't
know. The sky, the trees, the world?"
"I kinda
lost the interest about eighteen years ago,"
"How old
are you anyway?"
"Uh…" in
reality Loki had no age. But he took a random guess on how old he did look.
"Twenty-four."
"You were
only six when you lost interest in the world?"
"Yeah. But
I was blessed with being able to be on the earth,"
"That's the
way I look at it. Being on Earth is a blessing, and so is everything God gives
you,"
"Were you
raised a religious child?"
"Yeah.
I…have very close relations with a church member. If the whole religion thing
bothers you I don't have to talk about it,"
"No its
okay. I don't mind," he smiled.
"You have a
pretty smile,"
"Thanks so
do you,"
A waiter
approached with the food.
"Thanks,"
Chance said. The waiter left.
About ten
minutes later both with finished with their meal and were laughing and talking.
"My mom is
way to uptight over things,"
"Really
how?"
"She
totally freaks when I bring any guys home, and she doesn't let me walk alone
and stuff. Its just small stuff,"
"Well she
loves you and doesn't want you to get hurt,"
"That's
what she tells me,"
BEEP, BEEP,
BEEP
Chance
looked down at her beeper. "Speaking of the devil. That's my mom. I've gotta
get home." She got up dropping the amount for lunch and tip on the table.
"Hey since
you paid for lunch I'll walk you home,"
"Deal,"
(Front porch of Chance's house)
"Thanks for
walking me home Loki,"
"No
problem,"
"Hey do you
have like e-mail or phone number or something?"
"I have
e-mail,"
"What is
it?"
" [email protected],"
"Spelt the
way its sound?"
"Yup,"
"Well
thanks again,"
"You're
welcome again," Chance bit her lip and smiled. She then pressed her lips
together then positioned herself and kissed Loki. Loki responded by placing his
hand on her cheek. Just as he did the front door swung open. Chance pulled away
and both looked at the woman standing in the doorway.
"Mom!"
Chance yelled frustrated.
"Sorry…"
her mother Bethany began, then she caught site of the man her daughter was
with. "Loki?!"
"Bethany?!"
"You two
know each other?"
"Chance get
in here," Bethany reached for Chance and pulled her in the doorway.
"Chance
you're a scion?"
"Mom, what
are you doing?"
"Remember
when I told you how I had to stop two angels from getting into heaven?"
"Yeah,"
"Loki was
one of them,"
"You're the
Angel of Death?" Chance asked shocked.
"Ex-Angel
of Death,"
"Loki get
out of here,"
"Why does
he have to leave?"
"Chance he
tried to destroy existence. I don't want him with my daughter!"
"Bethany, I
just wanted to get home and I don't kill people anymore. God gave me mortal
emotions, I have a conscience,"
"Go away
Loki. And stay away from my daughter," Bethany pushed Chance behind her and
slammed the door in Loki's face.
"Mother!
Why did you do that?!"
"I told you
why,"
"He's not
the angel of death any more! Mom if he wanted me dead he would've killed me!"
"You can't
trust him, he's a psycho,"
"Whatever
Mom," Chance ran up the steps and Bethany followed. Chance started to run to
her room. As Bethany approached it the door slammed in her face without Chance
touching it. Bethany stormed into the room.
"Don't
'whatever' me young lady! Until you get married and have a child you are the
last scion! I don't want you to be with Loki!"
"Mom, I
don't care that I'm the last scion, you were the last scion for thirty years
and it didn't phase you! I'm tired of being restricted from things just because
I am the last scion! I had to go to Catholic school to learn about stuff that
you and I know wasn't true! I grew up learning about Rufus, and Serendipity
and…I couldn't go to parties or go on dates just because I was the last scion!
You know what Mom? I don't buy it anymore. I'm leaving!" she went to her door.
"Where are
you going?"
"Bob's,"
Chance headed out.
"Chance
Serena-Mary!"
"Just stay
Mom," Chance put her hands up holding her mother's feet in place then left with
the door slamming. Bethany's feet were then movable.
"Children
are annoying at this age aren't they?" Bethany turned to see the Voice of God
angel Metatron standing next to the
window watching Chance run off.
"Why didn't
I get any powers at her age?"
"God's
sense of humor,"
"What is
Loki doing alive?"
"Well since
he was human and not quite dead God rewarded
him because in the end he did try to stop Bartleby. But Loki's original
punishment still stood, God also gave Loki human emotions and well
attributions,"
"So he now
has a conscience and the ability to fuck my daughter?"
"Life is
just full of surprises,"
"Is he
going to hurt Chance?"
"No, but
next time he sees her they will do something else,"
* * *
(Silent Bob's house)
Chance
pounded on the door until Silent Bob answered. "Hey Bob."
Bob smiled
and gestured Chance to come in. "Thanks me and Mom got into a fight." Bob asked
' about what' with his hands. "I bumped into Loki." Bob made the gesture for
angel. "Yes the angel. And she started to freak because I was kissing him. But
he's good now. I know he is. But because I'm the last scion she won't let me be
with him."
"Yo Bob
who's at the door?" Jay walked in. "Dude hey Chance."
"Hey Jay,"
"What
brings you here?"
"I got into
a fight with Mom,"
"'Bout
what?"
"Loki,"
"Who?"
"The Angel
of Death,"
"You mean
that bad ass who tried to get back into Heaven?"
"Yeah. And
Mom won't even let me see him,"
"Hey if you
wanna get laid by that angel you go ahead and do it,"
"Really?"
"Yeah I
mean you only live once,"
"Thanks
guys," Chance smiled and left.
* * *
Chance ran
down the sidewalk. She didn't know where she was going at all. She wondered the
streets for a while when she felt raindrops.
"Great,"
she muttered and continued walking. The rain poured down and made her hair
stick to her face. Suddenly she felt the rain stop but she saw the rain around
her.
"Need
shelter?"
Chance
turned to the familiar voice. "Loki?"
"Yeah. What
are you doing in the rain?"
"I got into
a fight with my mom,"
"Wanna come
back to my place,"
"Yes,"
(Loki's Apartment)
"Sorry it's
a bit messy," Loki started moving some
clothes from the one room apartment.
"No, its
okay I like it," Chance shivered as she scanned the room.
"You're
freezing,"
"Just a
little bit,"
"Uh…here,"
he grabbed a T-shirt for her to wear. "The bathroom is right there." He pointed
to only other door in the room.
"I don't
need a bathroom," she stood in front of him and pulled off her shirt exposing
her bra. "Do you really have wings?"
"Yeah,"
"Can I see
them?" without an answer Loki took off his long trench coat and she helped him
take his shirt off. He expanded the white-feathered wings. "Can I touch them?"
"Sure,"
Chance
reached up and touched the wing. Her hand trailed from the base of the wing to
the tip, then to his shoulder, his collarbone and then his bare chest.
"I don't
know what I'm doing, I've only known you a few hours but…there's something
about you, and I know you feel it too,"
"How do you
know?"
"Powers of
a scion. I can also see that you've never loved anyone before,"
"What else
can you see?"
"I can see
that you really want to kiss me," Loki leaned in and kissed her on her lips
then her neck. "Can you do things humans can do?"
"I think
so,"
"Good," she
kissed his shoulders and continued to stroke his wings.
(Next Morning)
Chance woke
up looking at the ceiling. She felt a feather on her left shoulder. She turned
her head and saw Loki soundly sleeping. His wing was resting on her shoulder.
She smiled and moved closer to his face. "Loki…" she purred into his ear.
"Loki…"
"Hmmm…" his eyes stayed shut.
"Loki wake
up," he finally woke up. "Hey."
"Hey,"
"How was
last night?"'
"Great.
I've never done that before,"
"Me either.
You know my mom's gonna kill me,"
"She
doesn't need to know," Chance lifted her head and grinned.
"You're sure
you're not evil anymore?"
"No,"
She
laughed. "I hate to do this but I've got to go home."
"Will I see
you again?"
"Stop by
around two," she slid out of bed and dressed.
(Slone resident)
Chance
opened the door to her home and closed it behind her. When she faced the stairs
Bethany stood in her way. "What do you want Mom?"
"Where were
you last night?"
"Didn't
Metatron visit you yet?"
"Chance,
where were you?"
"Where do
you think I was?"
"You said
you were going to Silent Bob's,"
"I was
there, then I left,"
"And?"
"And I
bumped into someone,"
"L-Loki?"
"Maybe,"
she started up the stairs.
"Chance
Serena-Mary Slone, did you sleep with Loki?"
"Maybe I
did and maybe I didn't,"
"Chance
you're not allowed to see him again!"
"What?"
"You're not
allowed to see Loki again,"
"That's
gonna be hard since he's coming by at two,"
"Chance,
I'm your mother. And until you move out, you're not allowed to see Loki again.
And you're not leaving this house,"
"I'm
eighteen Mother, you can't run my life!"
"Go to your
room!"
"Fine!"
Chance stormed up the steps and the door slammed. When Chance was in her room
she collapsed on her bed and began to cry.
"No why are
you crying?" Chance looked up and saw Serendipity the Muse standing.
"Serendipity?"
"Yeah,"
"Oh…"
Chance got up and rushed into her arms.
"What's
wrong?"
"My mom.
She won't let me see Loki,"
"She
should,"
"Why?"
(downstairs)
"I think
you should bring her down," Metatron told Bethany.
"Why?"
"There's
something you two need to know about Loki,"
"Chance!
Get down here!"
A few
moments later Chance and Serendipity walked down the steps. "Serendipity?"
Bethany questioned.
"What do
you want Mom?"
"I've got
some news for you about Loki," Metatron continued. "Because of recent events
God has decided to make Loki a human."
"What?"
Bethany, Chance and Serendipity said simultaneously.
"Congratulations,
you two are no longer the last scions,"
"What?"
"Do you
need it spelled out? Chance you are now bearing the next scion brought on by
Loki,"
"Chance…why,
why did you do it?"
"Because
Mom, I had this feeling about him. This feeling that I was suppose to and
apparently I was," she headed for the front door.
"Where are
you going?"
"To tell
Loki,"
(Loki's)
Chance
knocked on Loki's door. No answer. She knocked again. Still no answer.
"Loki!" she
walked in the room. "Oh my…" the scene in font of her shocked her. Loki was
kneeling and a woman was stroking his wings in a glowing light. His wings were
slowly deteriorating. "What the hell?" the woman turned to her but still
stroked Loki's wings. Soon the glow and Loki's wings were gone.
"You're
mother never told you?" Chance quickly turned to Metatron.
"Told me
what?"
"God's a
woman,"
"What did
She do to Loki?"
"Made him
human,"
Loki and God
rose. God walked up to Chance.
"I am so
sorry," Chance began. "I didn't know." God simply nodded/smiled. Her and
Metatron disappeared. "I guess She or Metatron told you?"
"Yeah.
That's why She made me human,"
"So what do
you think about helping out with the scion?"
"I like it
very much,"
Chance
smiled. "Come on." She took his hand.
"What?"
"I wanna go
somewhere,"
"Where?"
She
laughed. "You'll see." She led him out the building and down the street. Within
five minutes they were standing a park.
"Why are we
here?"
"To watch,"
"You're an
amazing person Chance,"
"I know,"
she took his hand again and placed it on her stomach. "And we'll have an
amazing child." Both smiled and watched the kids playing in the park.
