Natasha POV
I was careless, Fury warned me about this mission been a trap but I didn't care. I wanted to come anyways, and now here I am, in the place I thought I wouldn't put a feet on never again, I'm in the cell where I grown up. I'm in the Red Room. During the mission some widows came and attack me by surprise, I was not prepared and after that I just woke up feeling weird and dizzy handcuff on the cold floor. I try to take off the handcuffs but it was useless. They left me unarmed "Shit" I mumble to myself. Suddenly the door burst open and the only thing I can see is a young girl silluate, she didn't look older than 15. She close the door behind her and make her way to me, looking for something on her suit, making me chuckled "They really have to send a little girl to kill me" she look down at me, green blue ish eyes looking straight at my green ones, I don't know why but I got a feeling that I have seen them before. After studying my face she shake her head no. That took me by surprise, she understood me and I didn't speak to her in Russian "Do you speak english?" she nodded "Someone taught me a long time ago" she took out a pin, and with it she kneel down beside me taking off my handcuffs. I look at her confused but still grateful for taking them off, they were hurting my wrists. After a while of silence, I decided to broke it "Thank you" she look at me confused, I gesture to my sore wrists and she nodded in understatement "No need to thank me. I know how much those hurt" she put her sleeve a little up showing me her wrists. You could see marks around them, making me frowned, no kid should go trough this pain.
The room fell silence again "Wait I almost forgot" she stand up and started to look trough her suit, taking out some weapons "Here, this belongs to you I guess" I took them, looking at them closely I could realize those were my weapons. The ones they took away from me, "You sure will need them to get out of here" I send her a grateful smile standing up putting them in my suit except a gun. "Not to sound rude at all but can I ask why are you helping me" she chuckles "You really don't know who I am do you?" I look at her confuse "I'm sorry but I really don't remember meeting you" I look at her and I could see she was disappointed, but she masked it away in a way that if it wasn't for the attention I'm paying to her features I wouldn't even see it. She shrugged "It's ok I don't blame you. It was a long time ago anyways. Now let's get you out of here" After fighting a couple of guards, and running for miles, we finally find a hiding place. The girl's, who I still don't know her name, hiding place was within four miles away from where they got me captive. It was a small apartment between a small town. Not so hidden if you ask me, but has worked for her I guess.
We were now sitting in her living room, silence reigning in the room. A lot of questions came to mind, why would this girl save me? How did she know where I was? Was she following me? Was she a former widow? No, she couldn't be. She had this place and for the looks of it, she has been living in it before. And also is the fact that she said she and I knew each other before, but how? I was interrupted of my thoughts by the girl speaking for the first time after we got here "I guess you're wondering why a random fifteen year old like me would break you out of the red room" "How did you know I was there?" "Starting last year, Madame B send me to a mission, she wanted me to follow and kill a "traitor of the country", that's what she called it. She didn't gave me name, just a location. It was weird to me, that she would send me, having more capable widows to do the task, but with no questions asked; I went to the location. But when I saw who it was I couldn't pull the trigger. And I realize why she assigned me to the task. It was a test" Madame B send her to kill me, she didn't say who it was. But when our eyes met, the look she had in her , I knew she was talking about me. But why didn't she do it? "She send you to kill me, didn't she?" she nodded "she knew I wasn't going to be able to complete the "mission" That's why she send other widows to kill me. Heck the reason why I got this place" "If you knew that not killing me was going to get you killed, why didn't you?" she turn her head now facing the wall in front of her and took a deep breath "How could I kill the only person who cared enough to make sure I would survive in that horrible place" she look at me "You probably don't remember me but, I think you would recognize this" she takes out a necklace that she had hidding down her shirt, it look really familiar "Can I see that" "Yeah sure" she took it off and handed it to me. I took it and watched it carefully. I could recognize this necklace indeed. But the last time I saw it was in the neck of the girl who haunts my memories, and would ever do. She was my little girl, but I saw how they took her away from me. They took her by force right in front of me and I couldn't do anything "How do you have this? Who gave it to you?" I didn't took my eyes off the necklace "Ты сделал" I look at her my eyes widen and she smiled at me. Could it be? "Vi?" "Hi mama" I couldn't believe it my little girl, my Violet was right in front of me. My eyes were glossy. It has been a long time since I hear that word towards me, I almost forgot how much joy and happiness being call 'mama or mommy' gaves me. Like my body had a mind on it's own, I stand up and walk towards her, and the first thing I do is bring her to my arms. With tears falling down my face, I hug her as tight as I could, like my life depended on it. She returns the hug, and buried her face, sobbing on my chest. After being a fair amount of time in each others embrace, I was the first one to pull away but keeping my hand on her face pulling away the hair of her eyes and caressing her cheek. While admiring her features I couldn't help but smile "Oh my God I thought I was never going to see you again baby girl. I missed you so so much" "Me too mama, they told me that love was a weakness so I wasn't going to see you ever again, that they were going to make sure of it" I frown "Sweet girl I own you an apology for that. I told you that I would keep you safe, and that nothing bad was going to happen to you; but I failed you. I saw them took you away, and I didn't do anything to stop them, and then I escape and I- I didn't even look for you; I-" she frowned and shake her head interrupting me "Mama no that wasn't your fault. You did everything you could to keep me safe, and I don't blame you for not looking for me; I was only 9, you probably thought that I was dead. And if I'm honest with you, I almost not survive" we completely pull away and I hand her the necklace looking at it one more time "I see you kept it with you" She took it and put it back around her neck "Of course I did. You gave it to me the same day they took me away. This always reminded me that even if you weren't with me, you were always going to be close to my heart" I smile and lean giving her a kiss on her forehead "How did you stay so brave and strong in a place like that" "Pain only makes us stronger, you taught me that when I was 7 remember" She lean to me making our foreheads connect, our eyes making eye contact "То, чему ты меня научила, оставило меня в живых, мама"
