Don't Hate Me

I woke up to my head pounding. Monica was here, laying beside me, also knocked out. I sat up, holding my head, and looked around to a room with band posters and a strong scent of weed. It felt like I was in a teenage boys room, I felt someone was here with me, so I quickly stood up, my hands on fire.

"Woah there princess, take it easy." Its Pietro, well fake, recasted Pietro. If I had to be honest, old Pietro was better looking.

"You hit me over the head!"

"Agnes told me." He sits back, grabbing his guitar. I looked around and headed straight to the window. There was Wanda with her twin boys. I pounded on the glass, trying to make her look back. I had to think of something, just to get out of this attic. I knew that he wouldn't let me just walk out of here. I turned around to look at Pietro. There was a lightbulb.

"Pietro?" I said, swaying my way to him, sitting close to him on his beanbag. I ran my fingers through his hair. "You'll do anything for me, right?" He slowly turns his head. "Like anything?"

"Say it slowly." He bit his lip. How much I want to punch this man.

"I thought you like things fast?"

"Oh, that's hot." I can't but if I could, I'm going to throw up. Monica shot up, ran to the window and starts pounding on it.

"Wanda! Wanda!" I got up, sick and tired of sitting next to Pietro.

"Don't waste your breath, babe. No one can hear you from in here." He started to play his guitar. Monica looks at the door. I shook my head,

"Don't, there's no way out." I whispered to her. Pietro strummed the guitar again, but in a dramatic tune.

"Follow me." She makes a run for it, Pietro was too fast, got in front of her. He just touched her and Monica flew across the room.

"Monica!" I raced to her. "You good?" I checked if she got hurt.

"Im fine. There must be another way."

"Thats the only way in and out." No matter how hard we tried, Pietro was fast enough to catch us. We gave up, sat down on the beanbags and looked through his room. I got a massive headache as he started to blend some shit in the blender, making a smoothie. I rubbed my temples. Was the original Pietro this annoying?

"What is this stuff?" Monica asked him.

"This is my man cave. A place to chillax, you know, while this missus is stirring up trouble." Monica and I looked through some papers that he had on the table. Ralph. Agnes' husband that she kept talking about on the show. "You guys a fan of Steven Seagal?" Monica pulls out a headshot of him,

"Agnes doesn't live here. You do." I saw him drop something. "You're Ralph Bohner?" I snorted but quickly stopped.

"Boner." He laughs to himself.

"How is she controlling you?" She nudges me. We stood up. Pietro, who is actually named Ralph, got his hands up, ready to fight. Yeah, okay Bohner, take it easy.

"You wanna tussle again?" He moved to the side. He lounge at me, so I grabbed his arm, flipped him over and had him in a headlock. "Damn girl, you got game." I nodded at Monica. Her eyes glowed blue and snaps off the necklace he was wearing. Ralph got scared and started to hit my leg. "Please! Spare my life!"

"Nice to meet you Ralph." I let him go. Monica and I headed our way to help Wanda. The block was destroyed due to the fight Wanda had going on. We looked up to see the walls, the hex, was opening up.

"Wanda." I whispered. I ran my way into town. "You got a plan?"

"Help the kids." Monica ran with me. As we made into town, we watched Agnes and Wanda fighting each other, Vision and white vision? Then the twins. Hayward pulls his gun out, pointing at the boys. My heart admittedly dropped. "No. No. Stand down!"
