BlindSight: A Thor (Loki) Fanfiction

Chapter 14: Feeling is Believing

Loki P.O.V.

I shifted Mandy’s position so I could see her face. It was flushed with beads of sweat forming on her forehead. She continued to pant though unconscious which showed more than enough that she was feeling very uncomfortable.

Unsure of what to do, I proceeded to try to wake her and see if she could tell me how to help her. Shaking her and calling her name did not help at all as I could not rouse her.

I cursed myself for being so clueless. Never had I been in such a situation like this and now I had to face it on my own.

I decided that the next best move was to transfer her from the floor to a bed. With an arm around her shoulders and the other under her legs, I picked her up and brought Mandy to her room.

I was certain she would have resisted that I carried her all the way. After all, she was the kind of person who disliked pity or unnecessary assistance.

As I put her down, I heard her moan in discomfort but did not awaken.

 After tucking her in, I stayed by her side for a while. I used my sleeve to wipe her forehead and continuously checked her temperature. Eventually I thought of looking for information regarding healing of Midgardian illnesses. Perhaps she had some books about it lying around.

Mandy P.O.V.

I woke up feeling terrible. My head hurt like crazy and my body felt heavy. I tried to pull myself out of bed but I found it too difficult. I remained there for a while to regain my strength.

I soon wondered how I even ended up in my bed. I remembered telling Loki about how I lost my sight and crying hysterically and embarrassingly in front of him, but nothing more.

At the thought of Loki, I realized he was not with me. I decided to go and look for him. He was the only one who knew what had occured.

I tried to rise again. With a sore throat, I called out his name hoping to hear an answer, but there was none. I began to worry.

Where is he? Had he left? He was probably afraid of being involved with someone with a background like mine. I know I shouldn’t blame him but I kinda didn’t want him to go. Couldn’t he at least let me know that he was leaving?

My mind was full of questions which made it hurt even more. The only way I thought I could fix the problem was by getting some answers.

Once I was on my feet, I wobbled across the room to the door. It was not long before I realized that it was a bad idea. Being blind and dizzy at the same time made things a lot harder for me to walk.

Barely a step past the door post, I fell to the ground and could no longer get up. My limbs were shaking from the effort and my breathing turned into panting. I called for Loki one last time before I gave up trying to move.

Seconds passed like minutes as I lay like a pile of skin and bones on the floor.

“Mandy?” I heard someone call out.

A pair of hands pulled me up gently and let me lean against him.

“Loki?” I asked, though I already knew who it was.

He had begun to position his arms around my body to carry me.

“What are you doing out here?” he asked as he lifted me. Loki sounded a bit worried though he tried to seem calm.

I did not reply and he dropped the question.

He placed me back on the bed and helped me under the covers. I did not complain since this time, I really did need his help.
