63 Chapter 63 One More Trick

I look at Loki and smile, "I could never stop loving you. Forgive me?"

He smiles, "Of course my love." He moves closer and kisses my hand, "Good acting love."

"You too."

We are all smiling and I turn to see Kai not far from me, staring at me taken back at Hope's arrival and he has realised quickly they all know. Loki removes the fake illusions and I see the warriors appearing all around the room, brandishing their swords. It seems Odin really did tell everyone and they were all ready to act. But so is Kai.

Before I know it, I'm being pulled away from Loki and forced up against the bastard's chest. He puts a sword to my throat before I can react and I struggle against him. But the sword is right at my throat and he is too strong. I am barely gripping onto his arm, trying to keep it from going into my throat as he pulls me further away from him. Shit, I'm a hostage and there is nothing I can do about it. If I dare move, the sword goes into my throat and I'm dead. Dead again.

No one dares move, the warriors standing all around us and god does everyone look pissed, especially Loki. He looks like he could rip Kai's throat out and god I want him to. But he can't with me as his hostage and he looks pissed and worried. Why the hell do I have to be the hostage? Why me? But saying that, I saw it coming. I just hoped I wouldn't be in this position.

"Mum!!" Hope yells, catching everyone's attention as people realise she is our daughter.

I look at her, "Stay back Hope, I'm ok, just stay with Sif. I will be ok."

She seems reluctant but stays back with Sif, Sif protecting her. At least she is safe at last but I am not, I am stuck with Kai. His bloody hostage and something tells me this is going to get worse before it gets better.

"Let me go Kai." I say, struggling against his grip, "You've lost."

He growls, "You tricked me. You told them everything."

"Of course I did. You seem to forget that my husband is the god of mischief and he taught me a trick or two, like tricking fools like you. I already had a plan to save our daughter before I even stepped into Asgard."

"But you were supposed to be mine." He says, actually sounding hurt, "My girl and yet all this time, you were lying to me. Using me. You never loved me for a second, did you? The kisses? The dramatic flair? Everything you have done from the moment we came here has been an act, you were tricking me to get back to your beloved husband."

I look at him, "What did you expect? You took my wings, nearly killed me, and then faked my death which by the way they didn't believe. Not to mention everything you have done including making me keep up this pointless charade and threatening our daughter. Did you really think I could ever love you?" I smirk, "You're delusional."

This just annoys him and he puts the blade right up against my throat, pressing it right up against my skin so I can feel the cold metal. Shit, I might have pissed him off. I don't dare say a word as he tightens his grip and I struggle as I look at Loki, trying to keep the blade out of my neck. He looks pissed but also slightly amused at my words and yet worried.

Loki pulls a dagger, really annoyed, "Let her go Kai. You are surrounded and there is no way you are getting out of here with MY wife."

"You can't stop me. I'm more powerful than all of you." Kai taunts.

Loki chuckles, "Are you? Are you really? Do you know what I did to the last two men who came after my girl? One lost the ability to walk properly, I broke his spine and the other bled out slowly until he died." Kai cringes, "Even if you are powerful as you claim, there is no way you get out of this unscathed. So let her go now and come quietly or this will get very messy."

He shakes his head, "Maybe but I have this."

Still keeping the blade on my throat, he pulls something out of his pocket with his free hand and my eyes widen when I see it. It's the same electric rod that Damian used on me to unlock my wings. That's the trinket he has been going on about. A device to unlock wings and yet it makes my blood boil, he was going to use it on Hope. He was going to torture Hope like Damian did to me until her wings appeared and then kill her for her wings. That bastard.

"Come any closer and I will shock her with 100,000 volts." Kai threatens, "And this rod is designed to torture goddess's so I assure you that it will hurt. Or I can slit her throat? Either way, you can't attack me, none of you can without me hurting her. So you will let me walk out of here with her and her daughter or she dies."

Loki growls, extremely pissed off, "How the hell did you get that?"

Kai smirks, "Your father hid it away, kept it hidden but I found it. I found it and now I can take as many wings as I want. First starting with your daughters and then I will use Katrina to have as many children as I need. An endless supply of wings, all for me. Whether she likes it or not."

This makes me cringe, he wants to rape me to get more children for their wings and Loki looks like he could gut him alive. Or kill him slowly and I want him to. God, I don't want to get raped again and have his children for him to slaughter. It makes me struggle more against his grip and I see Sif moving Hope behind her as everyone prepares to pounce.

"That is never going to happen." Loki hisses, "Now let her go!!"

"And then you kill me?" Kai remarks, "Nah she's coming with me along with Hope. And if you try and stop me, I will slit her throat or electrocute her to death. Your choice Prince Loki."

Loki glares at him, they all do but none of them move. We are locked in a stalemate. But I refuse to let him try and take me or my daughter. Nor am I letting him breed me to get more wings or hurt me anymore. I'm not being used as a hostage and being taken from my home. No, I have one more trick up my sleeve and it's risky. It's very risky since he can easily slit my throat or electrocute me to death. But it's worth the risk. I've not come this far, suffered so much just to give up. There is no way I am giving up now.

So I prepare myself, focusing on my secret as it's going to hurt. Or at least feel strange and I need to be ready. Loki looks more worried now and I look at him, petrified but prepared. I have to try and at least if I am hurt, he can heal me. I just have to try. It's time to reveal my last secret… well second to last.

I smirk, looking at Kai, "So that was the trinket you were after? The special electric rod? Did you risk exposing yourself for that? How pathetic." I laugh, "You do realise I would have taught her to unlock them at some point?"

"And then hide them from me? No, I would rather do it this way. I will take her wings, make her suffer but the question is, whether I should make you suffer too?" He holds out the rod, "It's not like you have wings anymore. I made sure of that."

This makes me smile, "Did you?"

This catches him and everyone off guard. He doesn't let me go but his grip isn't as tight, the sword not pressing as much against my throat. All of them looking at me curious, especially Loki who knows I have a trick up my sleeve and I think it's obvious what it is. I have just hinted at it and I feel my magic growing as I focus on my back. It's time to let them out at last.

"Do you know what happens if goddess's or even half goddess's survive having their wings cut off? Which is rare by the way. Do you know what happens?" I look at him as I smirk, "They grow back."

His eyes widen and before he can react, my wings shoot out of my back and catch him and everyone by surprise. The force of them coming out gives me enough time to slip out of his grip, the blade barely scratching my neck as I escape his grasp. I knock the rod out of his hand, sending it flying across the room as I snatch the blade out of his hand before putting it to his neck as I turn to face him. He doesn't dare move as I touch my neck, it stinging a little. But it's barely a scratch so I focus on him, keeping the tip of the sword on his neck, and move back.

Kai gets his footing but he is now surrounded and has lost his leverage. So he just stares at me, not moving as he admires my wings. My angelic wings and he is shocked to see them. Everyone is shocked to see them but are delighted and pleased I have them, considering I just used them to catch him by surprise. Especially Loki who has moved closer to me, staring at me pleased but shocked. He is happy I am ok and out of Kai's grip and yet amazed by my wings. They all are.

I keep the blade to his throat as I feel my wings stretch out, loving them being free before resting behind my back. I am enjoying the sensation of having them out of my back at last as they flutter behind me, glowing brightly. God, I have missed having them out. It's been a pain having them in my back for so long.

"God that feels better. You wouldn't believe how much of a pain it is to hide them in my back for so long." I remark, my wings fluttering as I move my shoulders, "Now stay where you are or I will slit your throat."

He doesn't move, still staring at me, "Your wings… how?"

I chuckle, "It turns out giving birth had some perks. My wings grew back shortly after Hope was born, much to my surprise and I kept them hidden. It was a pain but worth it. They do look good don't they?" I say, making them flutter, "Now where is that rod? As there is no way you are using that infernal device on my daughter!"

That's when Loki speaks up, moving to stand beside me, "I've got it, my angel." He blasts it and the rod crumbles to dust, "Nothing but dust. You ok?"

I smile, trying to ignore the tinge in my neck, "I'm ok, don't worry."

Loki nods and we keep our attention on Kai who isn't pleased, glaring at us menacing. He tries to move but I keep the sword at his neck so he is forced to stay put. He still pulls out a dagger, ready to attack and he must be getting desperate. He is completely surrounded, no hostage, and has a sword to his throat. He is so screwed.

"Your wings will be mine."

I roll my eyes, "Not this again. You already tried getting my wings and you failed miserably. Not to mention you are surrounded and with my wings out, my magic is back at full strength. So now the real question is, do you want to surrender? Or shall I beat you into surrender? Because after everything you have done, it would be my pleasure." I press the sword against his neck, "It's your choice."

He growls at me and suddenly chucks the dagger towards me but I block it with the sword. But with the sword no longer at his neck, he is free and tries to grab me. Loki punches him away from me before I use my magic to grab him, stopping him from moving and making him float into the air. He struggles, trying to escape as I make him spin before throwing him against the nearest wall. I begin hitting him again and again, making sure it hurts. Most people are amused and smirking, some even laughing and cheering me on.

"You tried to kill me. You took my first pair of wings, stole me from my home, my family, my husband, faked my death, and then made me raise my daughter in that cell!!" I hit him again, "Thanks to you, Loki didn't see her as a baby. Hear her first words, see her walk for the first time!!" I hit him again more violently, he is bleeding now, "Then you threaten my daughter's life and turn me into your bloody puppet. Made me hurt the man I love all because you wanted that infernal device. You are pathetic and if you come after me or my daughter again, I will kill you!!"

Then I throw him to the floor between me and the head table where Odin and Frigga are now standing, glaring at him. He groans in pain, a heap on the floor as warriors surround him and quickly capture him, handcuffing his hands behind my back. He struggles as they keep him pinned down, not letting him go. It just makes me smile as I know we are free and he can't harm us again.
