When two worlds collide.

Goblins.

Buckys p.o.v

I hold Alex's body in my arms. Her breathing slows down and blood pours out of her mouth.

"Bruce do something!" I growl.

"I'm trying- I'm trying to do something!" Bruce starts to panic.

"You all need to back up. Give them some space." Nat states as she helps Tony.

"Rosie.." I shake her slightly but there was no response.

"It was strucker." Steve sighs.

My blood began to boil.

Of course he would be behind it.

I take deep breaths to steady myself and keep myself calm.

"Bucky.." Bruce hangs his head low.

I look at him before glancing down at Alex.

Her face was completely white and her lips were blue.

"No!" Hermione growls, running over to us.

She takes her wand out and started to stay some enchantments but Remus pulled her back. "You can't bring a dead person back, Hermione.." He states softly.

"She's not dead!" I growl. "Ale- she can't die!" I snap.

Alex gasps, coughing and spluttering as she sits up.

I look in shock.

"You were dead!" Grayson exclaims.

"Lovely.." She groans, pulling herself up.

"Wha- how?!" Arthur's eyes widen.

Alex sighs. "I'm a horcrux." She folds her arms.

"That's- how? That's not possible!" Ron snaps.

"The night Cedric died..- You-know who- took my blood and that was used to resurrect him. I'm tied to him for as long as he lives.." She mumbles.

"Wai- so when he dies...do you?" I look at her.

"I don't know." She sighs.

Alexandra's p.o.v

As much as I didn't want to leave, I had to.

Things were getting more and more heated as the days go by. I decided to visit the goblin with Fred and George.

"How are you-" I start but Griphook cuts me off. 

"Alive?" He hums.

"You probably don't remember-"

"-that I showed you to your vault the first time you visited Gringotts? Even amongst goblins, you are famous.." Griphook studies me curiously. "You are a very unusual witch." He shrugs.

"Why did you leave Gringotts?" I fold my arms.

"Soon the Death Eaters will control it. That was unacceptable to me.." He shakes his head in disappointment.

"Then you're on our side?" Fred huffs.

"This is a wizard's war. I take no side.." He sighs.

"We need to get inside Gringotts, into one of the vaults.." George explains.

"It is impossible, Alone, yes."

"But with you, no.." I raise my brow expectantly.

Griphook stares impassively at us, silent. He glances at the Sword of Gryffindor, which was in my belt.
