59 Chapter 59 Time Running Out

It doesn't take me long to reach the training ground and Kai has changed into some armour, preparing himself to do some training. He looks very smug and I fear he has found the trinket or he is simply happy I slapped Loki. But either way, at least he doesn't suspect a thing.

He smiles at me when I reach him, "Katrina, nice slap by the way. Was he bothering you again?"

I nod, "He was really pissing me off. Kept going on about how much I am different and how I must be being controlled since I didn't keep grieving over Tony. God, he was just so insensitive. He deserved that slap." I shake my head, pretending to be annoyed, "I told him to fuck off."

He chuckles, "Good."

"Any luck with your trinket?" I ask him, "Did you find it?"

He smirks, "Yes I did and I have already stashed it away, somewhere safe. So we can probably go home the day after tomorrow and you can see your daughter. I know how much you miss her."

I smile, "I do and I look forward to going home."

"Home?" He smiles at me, "You really don't want Loki do you?"

I shake my head, "Not anymore."

This pleases him and I help him finish changing into his armour, doing the straps on the back before he goes out into the arena with the other warriors. He begins sparing with the warriors while I use my magic to summon a book and begin reading. Or pretend to read as I can barely focus on the book, even though it's a favourite of mine. Got to love Sherlock Holmes but still, I can't read it. My mind is spinning and I feel myself being to panic. My worst fears coming true and I'm running out of time.

He found the trinket, whatever it is and he wants to leave soon. He wants to go back and I won't be able to say no. Not when he still has our daughter, my little girl. I need to see Frigga soon, I need to get in her chambers where I can talk freely. Or I won't be able to save my daughter and we will be stuck with him forever. Unless Loki can save us both but he doesn't even know she exists, that he has another daughter but he will come after me. But still… he couldn't find us the last 7 years due to Kai's powerful cloaking and blocking spells. What if he can't find us again? This could be our only chance and I need to take it.

I don't know what to do. Kai watches my every movement and there is no way he will let me out of his sight. He won't want to risk losing me and with me playing devoted girlfriend and still under his bloody control, I have no chance. He still has our daughter and unless Odin or Frigga requests my presence, I am stuck here with him. Maybe I should risk opening my mind to Loki but Kai might sense if I do. He does have strong magic and if he gets any hints, Hope is… no. There has to be a way. Loki knows I want to remember, maybe I will have a chance but I'm really worried now. I am running out of time. God, I just want to be with my husband.

Taking a breath, I try to relax as I read the book, worried out of my bloody mind. I'm so distracted that I have only just noticed it's midday and most of the warriors are training now including the warriors of three and Thor. I'm surprised Sif isn't with them. But then I hear footsteps and I look up to see Sif coming over to me. I haven't spoken to her or any of my friends since I arrived. It's nice to see her but I am curious about what she wants.

I put a smile on as I close my book as she comes over and sits beside me on the bench. I wonder what is going on? Does she want to talk or something?

She smiles at me, "Katrina."

"Lady Sif isn't it?" I ask, pretending not to know her name.

She nods, "Just Sif." I nod before she goes on, "Frigga has requested your presence in her chambers. She thinks maybe she can restore your memories and insists you come right away."

I nod, pretending to be slightly not happy about this as I have been pretending I didn't want my memories back. But really I am jumping inside, so relieved and overjoyed. Loki did go to Frigga about my memories and now my plan can finally begin. Once I am in her chambers, I can tell her everything and finally save Hope and myself. God, I feared for a second I would be stuck with him forever. Thank god my husband is loyal and is so determined. I love him so much.

Now I just need to play this off to Kai that I have to go but it doesn't matter, me and Hope could be free by the end of the day. God, I hope so but I need to make sure Sif comes too. The quicker my plan gets into action, the quicker we will be free and I can be with my husband.

I smile, "Of course I will come. Just let me tell Kai and then… I know this sounds strange but would you come with me?

She looks at me surprised but smiles, "Sure, you're my best friend. I will come with you."

"Thanks, Sif."

Then I get up, using magic to send the book back to our chambers before I go over to Kai in the arena who noticed our interaction. He looks at me worried as I rush over to him, appearing to look distressed. He moves over to me and I reach him at the edge, putting on the act of my life. Thank god I have him wrapped around my finger.

"What's wrong?" He asks me, taking my hands.

"Frigga has demanded my presence in her chambers. She wants to try and restore my memories and I can't refuse her. She won't take 'no' as an answer." I say very quickly, making myself sound panicked, "I have to go but what should I do? What do you want me to do?"

He puts his arms around me, "Shh relax. Go with them and when she tries to do whatever to bring your memories back, make out it didn't work. Be annoyed and say you hate them all and leave. Do that and I'm sure they will leave us alone. I will be close by if you need me, I just have to clean up here first."

I take a breath, pretending to be relieved, "Ok I will do anything you want. I don't want them to come between us."

He smiles, pleased, "You have been doing very well, being MY girl. I even feel bad for threatening your daughter like I did. But I assure you she is safe."

"I will do anything for her and for you." I whisper, manipulating the lying bastard.

"I knew you would warm up to me." He says smugly.

I smile, "I just haven't felt like this before." I kiss him on the lips, "I will hurry back to you the moment I can. I promise."

He smirks, "Good girl."

Then we pull apart and he returns to the arena while I go over to Sif who is waiting for me by the exit. I feel a smile spread across my face as I reach her and follow her back into the palace. She leads the way to Frigga's chambers even though I know the way and I am so relieved.

I'm away from Kai, I am going to Frigga's chambers and the moment the door is shut, the enchantment will be in place and I can speak freely. Tell her everything and save us both. And the best thing is Kai is blissfully unaware so Hope is safe and we could both be free by the end of the day. I could be back in Loki's arms by the end of the night and it makes me smile. Thank god Loki went to Frigga and she sent Sif. I need her for my plan to work. Everything is going the way I hoped and now it's time I tell them everything.
