Wresting from Danger

15

I open the door to Bucky asleep on the couch with I, Tonya playing on the tv. I walk up to him and put a blanket over him, he looks so peaceful.

As I'm getting ready for bed I hear a knock on the door. Wanda. I totally forgot what was coming.

I race out of the bathroom and quickly shut Bucky's door. It looks like he cleaned everything up from last night.

"Hey Wanda," I whisper. "You know, nows not really a good time Bucky fell asleep on the couch."

Well now she knows about Bucky. I have such a big mouth sometimes.

"Who's Bucky," she says smiling pointing at me like somethings going on.

"A new patient. Fury took me off all of my other cases and reassigned me to his."

"Hmmm I see, well I'll stop by another time then and let you get to it!" she says winking.

I playfully slap her arm, "shhhhh!" I laugh and give a small wave before shutting the door.

"Who was that?"

I jump and turn around, "Bucky you scared me!"

"Sorry," he says laughing. "I am heading to bed."

"I probably will too," I say looking at the clock. It's already 11:30. "Sorry we didn't get to watch our movie. Tomorrow night?"

He nods, "Night."

"Goodnight," I say back quietly.

I wake up and I'm in a car. It's too dark I can't tell what kind of car it is. The seatbelt won't open I'm stuck. I'm pulling it and pulling it and the man and woman in front of me don't turn around.

"Hello?! Can you help m-" we hit a tree.

As I am violently shaking the car to get my seatbelt off and book it, a man walks up. His arm is shiny, that can't be real.

He pulls the man out of the car and I hear, "Sargent Barnes."

No.

The lady who was sitting next to him says "Howard," with pain in her voice.

This isn't real.

I hear 2 hard hits on the car and the car shakes.

I'm not here, this isn't real.

"Howard," the lady says louder this time, obviously in distress.

His body falls to the ground. This can't be happening.

Barnes puts my fathers... body back in the car. He's dead, he's gone. And I just watched it all happen. And I can't get out of this damn seat!

He walks around the car and puts his hand around my mother's throat. I look up and I see him. He killed my dad. He killed my mom. And he's about to kill me too.

Barnes yanked the door so hard it came off the car entirely and punched me in the face.

I wake up screaming. I am covered in sweat. I'm on the floor, I must have fallen off the bed.

My door bursts open and I immediately want to go for the pepper spray but I'm terrified to move. I'm paralyzed with fear, I'm freezing up.

"Morgan!" Bucky says.

As he's running to me I quickly scoot back, quickly getting up on my legs. He killed my parents, did I forget that or something?

"Morgan? Talk to me," I can tell he's worried. I can't tell him though. What would I even say? Yea I had a dream about you killing my parents it's okay goodnight?

I back so far up I hit the wall. I have no where to go. Where can I go, where can I go?

I run toward my door, what am I doing?

He catches me, "Morg-"

"No!" I run. I run as fast as my legs can take me.
