Lost and Found

Chapter Twenty-One: Trapped

In case you haven't noticed, I changed the title of this story. It used to be Snow Bros, but the title seemed too weird and not that catchy so I changed it to Lost and Found. Hopefully, it catches a little more attention since I thought this story would get more reviews and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, I love every little review, follow, and fav, but I guess I had high hopes for this story. Maybe it's me and writing skills and slow updates. But I realized that I'm not that popular. In my everyday life, I'm an introvert and rather shy so I don't like it when I get a lot of attention. The internet seems to give people (including me) a bit of a confidence boost. On the other and completely unrelated note, Halloween is in ten days! Whoo! I'm too old to go trick or treating but I still like the vibes that Halloween gives off. I hope you have a spooky (and safe) Halloween! :)

Chapter Twenty-One: Trapped

The sudden onslaught caught everyone off guard. Sigyn just barely avoided losing an arm from a powerful swing from one of Sleipnir's swords. She backed away quickly and almost tripped over Loki's feet. Loki caught her before she could fall down and held tight until she got her balance back.

Jormungandr raised his battle-axe above his head and swung down at Bucky's head. Bucky raised his vibranium arm in defense, deflecting the blow but the force behind it propelled him backward and he crashed into Pietro and Hela, knocking both of them over.

Hela scrambled to help Pietro to his feet as Gorr lunged at them. She raised her hand and caught the edge of the sword before it could hit Pietro. The sharp edge cut into her hand making blood flow down her arm and drip onto the floor. Ignoring the pain, Hela slowly rose to her feet, pushing Gorr away with the sword. Gorr struggled and gripped his sword with both his hands to counteract the force of Hela's pushing, but it was futile.

Fueled by the rage of being used against her will and a sudden rush of adrenaline, Hela's hands burst into black flames of magic. The energy snaked up the sword and around Gorr's wrists.

Gorr grunted in pain as Hela's magic latched onto him.

"What sorcery is this?" Gorr questioned and tried to free himself.

"Dark magic, something I was born with," Hela stated with an angry hiss. "Maybe it's not a good idea to upset the goddess of death."

Hela gave the sword a hard shove, forcing Gorr to his knees. "How do you release their minds?" Hela questioned, motioning towards her brothers who were viciously attacking her father, Sigyn, and Bucky. It was three against three, but Loki and the others were clearly holding back, not wanting to injure the boys.

Gorr smirked even though Hela had him pinned on his knees. "The science and technology of this planet have improved greatly since the last time I came here. Amora made sure that nobody could break the control."

Hela titled her head, keeping all of her attention on Gorr. "Sigyn and I were able to break it, so I highly doubt that it's as 'perfect' as you claim it to be," Hela pointed out snarkily.

Gorr smirked, which both surprised and annoyed Hela. "Do you really think that we didn't think about that?" When Hela didn't answer, Gorr continued, "Their minds are not as advanced as yours. You only broke it because your genetics are stronger than theirs, thus giving you powerful abilities. The stronger you are, the harder you are to control. Sigyn only broke her control because of her natural healing ability. Your brothers do not possess the same type of magic like you, so they are under our control."

The subtle insult at her brothers' strength caused Hela to grow furious. She let her sedir flow through her veins and completely wrap Gorr in a cacoon of black ropes of magic. Only his glaring eyes were visible, staring up at her in anger and hatred.

"Maybe next time you would think twice before you insult my family," Hela growled. The tendrils curled around Gorr's body and enveloped his head, covering his eyes. His scream was cut off by the dark magic covering his mouth. Light glowed between the thin gaps in the ropes, making it hard to look at. The boys stopped their attacked on Sigyn, Loki, and Bucky in order to watch.

The light slowly faded after a quick minute. Hela dropped her hand, letting the magic fade. The ropes dissolved in sputtering sparks, revealing a pile of ash in Gorr's place. His sword lay on the ground next to the pile, untouched except for a few wisps of smoke curled off it.

Unfazed and suddenly full of energy, Hela turned away and helped Pietro to his feet. She caught her brothers staring at her and frowned. "Don't even think about trying anything," Hela snapped. She held her head up high as she and Pietro walked confidently past them. They subconsciously parted, letting them through.

She had barely reached the end of the hallway when the sound of clapping filled the air. She turned around to see Amora standing near the group with a smirk on her face as she clapped slowly. The boys stood at attention next to her, their hands on their lowered weapons but still ready to move at a moment's notice. Sigyn, Loki, and Bucky stood frozen in shock. Hela wondered why they weren't moving before she squinted and saw that their muscles were tense as they strained against the invisible hold Amora had on them. The necklace Amora had around her neck glowed purple, which must have been the source of her power.

"Congratulations, my dear, you succeeded in angering me even more," amora said. She glanced down at the pile of ash that used to be Gorr. "'Tis a shame, he was quite a powerful ally. You, little girl, are stronger than I expected."

Hela took a step forward. "'Little girl?'" Hela quoted with obvious anger. "In case you didn't know, I am a queen. That is a lot more than you could ever accomplish."

Amora's smirk faded and dropped her hands down next to her hips. "You are meddling in things that you are too young to understand. I suggest you leave before you end up angering me even more," Amora warned.

Hela scoffed and rolled her eyes. "You don't scare me." She spread her arms open wide and gestured towards herself. "Do your worse."

Amora looked like she wanted to follow Hela's taunting but after a minute of considering, the Enchantress turned her focus towards the three she had trapped. "The only one I need is Loki; the rest of you are expendable."

Raising her hand, Amora sent out a burst of energy. Hela opened her mouth to shout at her but the energy washed over her in a wave of pure power, knocking her and everyone else unconscious...

When she woke up from her dash and got a bearing on her surroundings, Loki, Amora, and the boys were gone.

Side note, I made a website! Why? Because I was bored and just felt like it. I put all my story descriptions on there. I am also going to add a character page for the OCs I created to give a more detailed description of them. If you want to check it out, the link is on my profile page. The next chapter is coming soon in hopefully 2 weeks or less.
