Serpent

Warning: Strong language in this one.

Loki awoke to the sight of a very worried Thor hovering over his face, concern etched in his every feature. Upon seeing Loki open his eyes, Thor exclaimed very loudly and proceeded to bear hug his brother. Loki gasped, unable to breathe due to the force behind his brother's hug.

"T-Thor," Loki stammered, "Y-you're crush-hing m-me."

Thor temporarily paused in his attempt to unintentionally kill Loki. "I am sorry Brother! I did not mean to cause you bodily harm!" He apologized in his shouting way.

"It's fine; just don't even think about doing it again." Loki sighed. He rubbed his forehead, and then froze. Thor couldn't see his eyes, but out of nowhere, a dangerous smirk seized Loki's features. An ominous chuckle sounded from deep within Loki's chest, and when he looked at Thor, his eyes burned red with all the hatred he carried for those who dared to mock him and then punish him for something beyond his power.

"Hello, Brother." Loki hissed in the same tone as the creature in the forest, his words full of barely concealed rage and sarcasm. "Did you miss me? No? That's what I thought. You never wanted to be associated with me, the weak one of the family. The one who is different from you." His eyes darkened even further. "In fact, just for that, I'm going to kill you today. For every single time Odin picked you over me." Loki didn't hide his anger anymore. Born of his newfound hatred, he drew a blade made of pure fire from his chest, somehow able to hold it even though he was a frost giant.

"I'll be merciful," He, no, IT smirked. "You have five seconds to get the fuck out of here." Thor, seeing how his brother wasn't joking, ran for his life.

"This'll be fun!" The creature who stole Loki's body sneered.

XxXxX

Thor ran, almost out of breath. What was that thing? Why did it go after Loki? Either way, he had to stop it. He turned around a corner, just to see Loki running at him, a demented grin twisting his features into something unrecognizable. His sadistic laughter was not Loki's. The way he grinned when he hit Thor with his sword was not Loki. This creature wasn't Loki.

Right?

Wrong. This creature was born out of Loki. This creature is what Loki has become. It will never go away, and the Loki he knew was never coming back.

This creature is Loki now.

And it's all his fault.

Tears began welling in Thor's eyes, and not because of the pain of missing his arm.

He wanted his brother back.

But his brother wasn't ever coming back.

A well place spell sent a piece of the castle falling onto Loki, crushing him instantly.

No creature can survive that, no matter their abilities.

Thor stood in shock. His only brother, gone.

Dead.

He wasn't going to come back this time.

Ever.

"No…" Thor whimpered, "No… This can't be true. He can't be…" Thor fell to his knees, not caring anymore how freely he bled over the floor. With every ounce of strength he had left, he crawled over to his (Dead) brother and lifted the stone that (Killed) covered him. "No… This can't happen… NOOOOO!" Thor screamed into nothing.

That was how Dumbledore found Thor. Missing an arm, covered in his own blood, and clutching the body of his dead brother.

Fin.

A/N: Hehe, I know you all probably hate me right now for making you wait so long then ending it like this, but that's how it turned out. I actually wanted this fic to be a lot happier and cheery, but I can't write that very well. Please review! I hope I don't discourage you from reading anything I write in the future!
