Reckless Abandon CH 1

You had just woken up and the world was new. After the attack on New York you and your family had submitted to Loki. The guards were actually quite kind explaining the new rules Loki had made. You wrote them all down and the guards left. The only problem was that food was scarce for the type of family you had. Only the rich could afford food. Loki handed out measly provisions each month that all of the poor got. Your parents were older and they couldn’t live on the grey mush Loki gave you, so you made them stay in the house as you risked your life for better food for them. You loved them too much and you would rather starve then watch them starve.

“I’ll be back soon.” You say to them. Your mother nodded and held your fathers hand tenderly. He smiled at you.
“Be careful (Y/N).” Your father said as you walked out of your small home. You were an immortal. Your mother carried a special gene that dominated your DNA. It strengthened your cells and made you nearly immune to death. The only thing that could kill you was a fatal wound in which there would be no way to stop the blood, or poison. Ever since Loki had become king of Earth all of the traces of poison were eradicated. You set out on your normal route through the quiet suburban town. Loki hadn’t changed much about the Earth. There were just restrictions on everything. Loki did just want the world to be more natural. He said it himself telling the whole world. I didn’t hate him like all of my friends did. He had just assigned himself a permanent job. As long as he didn’t hurt my family I was fine with him ruling over us. I crouched behind a stonewall that led to the market. I had to be quick to steal this day’s food. The markets people were getting smarter and were starting to move to different places. You took off at a slower sprint and then picked up the speed as you swiped various fruits and vegetables tossing them into a sack you also stole. Once your bag was full of goods you took off at a blinding speed back home. Your parents and you were going to eat well today.

AT THE PALACE ON MIDGUARD

“Sir, we have reports of a woman stealing things from a market. What shall we do?” A guard approached the throne of which Loki, it’s king sat upon.
“Next time she steals something be ready, set up your guards as market people and capture her then. Bring her to me to be judged after.” Loki said halfheartedly.
“Very well my king.” Loki just shrugged bored.

AT THE MARKET PLACE

Weeks passed and your food supply began to dwindle. So you set off for the market. The smells were so alluring today. It seemed as if the market was refreshed with new everything! You got excited by the thought of it and sped along snatching things as quick as lightning. The last stand was different though. It was tented and shielded from your eyes. You thought you shouldn’t go in there, but your curiosity got the best of you. You scampered inside and a horrid smelling rag was put into your mouth. As your world was turning black you thought of your parents and how they needed you to provide for them. You struggled to get up and dash out of the tent. You took the rag with you to analyze it as well. The people who tried to knock you out were heavily robed so you couldn’t see their faces. You ran as quickly as you could home. This run would have to last them awhile.
