62 Chapter 62 Fight For Me

The next few hours we stayed in our chambers as I had a nap, preparing myself for the feast and the possible fight that could follow. The moment Kai knows that Hope has been saved, he is going to go mad and will probably try to hurt me. He won't want to lose me and I have got to be ready for when he strikes. Especially since I will be close to him and he might try to use me to escape. And the fact is a lot could go wrong but everything is going according to plan. Better than I had originally hoped. As not only does Frigga know, so does Loki and he is no longer suffering or in pain. He knows I've just been acting to protect our daughter and can be there tonight to protect me, save me if it comes to it. Plus we reunited and that first kiss after so long… I will never forget it.

On top of that, Odin no doubt knows by now and has got all the guards ready for when Kai lashes out. And will be prepared if he uses this trinket, whatever it is against us. I'm just worried that Kai will lash out and try to use me… use me to escape. Even try and take me again. But I do have one more secret up my sleeve, an advantage that I forget to mention to Loki earlier. It's just a minor detail but it means if the worst happens, I could escape. I just have to be careful. I just hope that Sif and the warriors of three save our daughter and bring her home. And that she is ok. Oh, Hope I really hope you are ok. And after tonight, we will all be together, a family at last.

It's finally time for the feast and we have changed into fresh outfits, him into a suit while I am in a backless gold dress. I look beautiful but I chose a backless dress for a reason, not just to show off my body. It will help with my surprise advantage for tonight not to mention, Kai can't keep his eyes off me. He really is whipped but at least the dress covers up what must be covered. No, don't think about that, focus.

We go into the feasting hall and go over to our usual table, the opposite side of the hall to Loki and my friends. Odin and Frigga nod slightly at me and I smile as I begin eating, knowing Odin knows now and has everything ready. I can tell as there are more guards but most are hidden amongst the crowd out of sight. I also spot Loki and Thor in their usual spot, both eating and I see the clones of Sif and warriors of three chatting with them. You can't even tell they are clones and Kai clearly can't tell either. Not like he would notice. He hasn't stopped looking at me since we began eating, memorized by my appearance. At least he is none the wiser and by the look of it, Thor knows too. Now I just got to wait for Sif to turn up with my daughter and for the fun to really begin.

Everything feels like normal as we eat, casually chatting and eating food, drinking wine. We have moved onto the desert and I am getting a bit anxious. I hope Sif turns up soon before Kai notices anything but he does seem to have something else on his mind. As he is looking at me like he wants to ask me something.

"You have been incredibly good to me the past few days, doing what I say, even agreeing to court me after everything I have done to you." He whispers, "Do you really like me? Like really? As I would understand if you are just doing this for your daughter."

I smile, putting my spoon down, "I didn't think I would like you. But you have been so nice and kind to me over the past few years… you helped me with Hope. So yeah… I really do. And every time we kiss, it's different from anything I have ever felt before with Loki. It's indescribable." He smiles at that, "Why do you ask?"

He smiles, "As when we return home, I want to marry you. I want you to be my wife and Hope my adoptive daughter."

My eyes widen in shock and I pretend to be surprised but happy at the idea. When really I would rather die than be his wife and the sheer notion horrifies me. I love Loki, I don't love him. But I can't say no to him or he might hurt Hope before Sif can get to her. So I just smile brightly, praying to god that Sif is quick and saves Hope soon. Save her please so I can escape him, I don't want to be his wife. I am Loki's wife, not his.

"You really want to marry me?" I ask him, making myself sound surprised but happy.

He smiles and nods, "Yes I do."

I smile, taking his hand, "But technically I'm already married. I would need to get divorced."

"Well, I'm going to ask Odin permission for your courtship since you used to live here and get him to end your marriage with Loki so you can marry me." He tells me, "If that is what you want?"

"Of course. I would love to marry you." I say, trying not to be sick.

This makes him smile and then he kisses me, catching me off guard but I quickly kiss him back, making sure it's passionate. But there is nothing and I feel nothing. It's not like earlier when I was kissing Loki. Luckily, he pulls away quicker than I expected, smirking to himself as he knows he has me and he thinks he has won. God, I hope that is the last time he kisses me. So gross.

He stands up, "I'm going to speak to Odin right away. I will back in a moment darling."

I smile, "Take all the time you need."

Then he stands up and leaves the table, going over to the head table so he can speak to Odin. I watch him go, turning in my seat so I'm facing the other side of the hall. The smile has faded from my face and I have gone pale, feeling sick inside. Not just from him kissing me which makes me rub my lips in disgust. Like I want to marry that bastard after what he has done to me. The sheer idea makes me want to be sick and run for the hills. I never want to marry Kai and be his wife. I'm Loki's girl, his wife and that will never change. I'm married to Loki and I don't want that to change, ever.

I find myself looking at Loki who is watching me like usual and has noticed something is wrong. I lower the barriers in my mind so I can speak to him, needing him right now.

He senses it as he speaks into my mind immediately, very worried, 'Katrina what's wrong?'

'We have a problem. He wants to marry me.' I say, cringing at the idea, 'He has gone to ask Odin to end our marriage.'

He growls, 'Fucksake. There is no way you are marrying him or leaving me.'

'I agree but I can't refuse or he will harm Hope.' I look towards Odin and Kai talking, 'Hopefully, Odin will say no.'

'He will. There is no way he will terminate our marriage, not when he knows everything.' He reassures me, 'Don't worry, you are staying married to me.'

I look at him and smile, 'That's good but when Odin says no, he is going to kick up a fuss and he might try and leave with me. We can't let that happen. We need to give Sif more time.'

Loki curses, 'Shit, what do you want me to do?'

'We need a distraction.' My eyes widen as an idea hits me, 'Kick up a fuss at the idea of him trying to terminate our marriage and of me going to marry him instead. We can argue and the drama should give Sif more time. Fight for me.'

He smiles at me, 'Fight for you? It would be my pleasure, my love.'

Then we hear an uproar and we turn to look at Kai who is yelling at Odin, beyond pissed. Looks like Odin clearly refused permission to end my marriage and approve of our courtship. I mean… I'm just guessing and I can hear Odin defending his actions. Something to do with I belong on Asgard and with his son. The uproar has caught everyone's attention and I stand up, moving closer to Kai who has moved away from the head table. Loki has also got to his feet and is annoyed at Kai while I pretend to look heartbroken. It's time for us to act, to perform.

Kai growls, "Katrina wants to marry me, she wants to be with me. She hates Loki and loves me. So we are going to get married and be together."

I nod, speaking up, "I want to be with him, I want to marry him."

"You are going to marry him?!" Loki exclaims, "Him?"

Taking a breath, I look at him as I move away from the table and closer to him. Loki has moved closer to me so we are barely a meter apart and I see Kai moving over to me. Everyone's attention is now on us and it's time to cause a bit of drama.

I glare at him, "I love him Loki and I want to be with him. I told you I don't love you nor do I remember you."

He shakes his head, "I don't believe that. You're my girl, my wife and I refuse to let you run off with another man when you belong with me!!"

God Loki is really putting the effort in and Kai is really lapping it up. It makes me want to smile but I pretend to be outraged at him.

"No, I don't!" I yell, "How can I be with you if I don't remember you Loki? Frigga tried but the fact is my amnesia is permanent and I have to move on."

He shakes his head, looking heartbroken but determined, "I won't stop trying to make you remember me. You still love me, I know you do. And I know you don't really want to be with Kai. I can see it in your eyes." He moves closer to me, "You love me."

I shake my head, "I could never…"

However, I am interrupted by the feasting hall doors as they are slammed open and we all turn to see Sif coming in with the warriors of three behind her. But I'm focused on the little girl beside her, wearing a green dress and with the pendant glowing around her neck. Her eyes are shining bright green as she smiles at me, holding Sif's hand. It's my beautiful daughter, it's Hope and she is safe. They saved her and we are free.
