Twisted in Ties (Loki x OC)

???'s POV

"Are you sure this was the best idea?"

"Look, I didn't think she would pass out! Come on, we have to get her back. Her crystal is too warm. She could go into travel fever if we don't help her."

"Right." Vines wrapped around her as both of us quickly began to cast the spell. We made it back home without any issues. I went with my sister as we hurried to bring her to a place where she could rest comfortably. I cut off the connection and her crystal stopped glowing. 

"There. She should be fine. We'll check on her in the morning. She can't travel on her own controllably, so it should be fine. Plus, the Light should keep her calm now that she's here again."

"I don't think that's what it'll do, brother." 

"She'll be alright. I'm sure she'll understand once she sees us and we explain everything. Come on. Let's talk somewhere else. We don't want to risk waking her early." Both of us left and went to the pond. My sister spent time carefully crafting a beautiful flower as we sat down and continued our conversation. I looked out at the water, watching the fish swim under the ripples.

"I'm still wary of this. She might not take all this too lightly."

"I understand your concerns, but this is the best thing for her. You know that. This is what was meant to be. You want this as much as I do." She looked away, slightly unsure.

"Yes, I do...but I don't wish it to be at her expense." 

"It won't be. You'll see. She's going to come around. I know it." 

"I'm afraid you're not being realistic, brother. It's not that simple." 

"I-" I stopped, sighing. "Realistic is understanding that this is the only place where all of us are safe. I'll show her that. She's one of us. She'll understand that this is for the best. She'll be fine."

"...I hope you're right." I frowned.

"Yes...so do I. I know I will be in time, but...I'm afraid of how long it might take."

"Do you really think this is for the best?"

"Don't you?"

"...That's something I don't know if I can answer. I'm just...torn." I smiled at her.

"Trust me, sister. It's going to be alright. I promised you that we'd be like this again. I will not break that promise." She smiled.

"Thank you. I'm glad I have you." We sat close together, peacefully watching the fish as the night went on.

"I'm glad I have you too, sister."

Izetta's POV

I woke up with a major headache. I groaned, rolling over as my head throbbed. Suddenly, I felt Silk nuzzling me. I opened my eyes a little. He seemed frantic and worried. I didn't understand at first.

"Silk, please. I have a headache right now..." He hissed loudly, biting and tugging at my hair. "Silk!" I yelped. I sat up and my body froze as I realized something. I looked around, seeing that I was in a completely different place than my house. 

I was laying in a bed that was made of a...tree? It looked like four trees had grown perfectly to make the shape of a bed frame. The sheets were made of silk and the bed cover was probably one of the softest and lightest blankets I'd ever felt. The pillows were silk too, but they were stuffed with the same material as the blanket.

I looked around the room again, seeing that the whole place seemed to be made out of a dome of thick vines. There was sunlight coming in from a hole in the dome. It was covered by a colored glass panel. There seemed to be a weird energy swirling within the glass. I didn't know what it was and I wasn't going to mess with it. Based on my past encounters, weird energy wasn't usually something safe to mess with until you knew what it was.
