CHAPTER ELEVEN:
❝︎The Angel❞︎

HER MIND FELT LIKE A CONSTANT GAME OF TUG OF WAR. Constantly fighting on who would win control of her mind and body, and much to Eloise's distaste, HYDRA"s control was fighting to gain control a lot more than she had anticipated. Eloise had trained her mind to be strong, she trained more and more every day, especially after the death of her parents who had told her every day that it was important to strengthen your mind and to stay in control. She knew about the bad people of the world at the mere age of five, and sometimes she was glad she had found out so long. Because since the death of her parents, she did everything in her power to make sure she would survive in a situation like the one she was in now.

She couldn't help but think about Tony. The man that she loved with her entire soul, the man in which was probably desperately looking for her. Her jaw clenched as anger bubbled inside of her chest. She wished that people would stop trying to take her from her family. They had her parents work, so why were they still keeping her held captive?

A small whimper fell from her lips as she felt pain ricochet through her head, HYDRA's control growing stronger and stronger as the seconds trickled by. She was grinding her teeth in pain, her jaw clenching as she tried everything in her power to not give them the satisfaction of seeing her in so much pain. Because she knew that if she showed them she was hurting, that would bring them satisfaction and let them know that they were in fact winning. And that was something that Eloise couldn't have. She wouldn't. She had to keep fighting as much as she could, and yet she had a gut feeling that that wasn't going to be enough this time.

HYDRA always seemed to get what they wanted. They wanted to transform Bucky, so they did. They wanted to enhance Avery's power's, so they did. And now they had completely changed Eloise. She was a completely different person, a hybrid that was half human half vampire, the only exception being she didn't have the need to rip out someone's jugular and drink them dry. The only exception had been Celeste, the angel that had been smart enough to escape their grasp, even though she was forced to leave the love of her life behind. Eloise couldn't imagine what the angel had been forced to go through, and she couldn't help but wish to meet her some day.

The more that Eloise thought, it seemed the more HYDRA gained control, almost as if every memory and every thought that she had was sucked into the vacuum that was HYDRA's control. Her palms were pressed into her temples as she sat there on the cell floor, and she could hear the man laughing. She could hear him laughing, and that just made her angry. She wouldn't let them win, she couldn't. She couldn't do that to Tony, to Theodora, to her family.

"How are you doing, Miss Gardner?" The man questioned her and she didn't answer him, looking up only long enough to glare daggers at him. He couldn't help but find amusement in this, a chortle falling from his lips. "You may be our toughest subject yet, Miss Gardner! You should be proud of yourself. That's a great achievement to receive." When the pain subsided a little he watched as Eloise forced herself to stand up, making it to the cell and wrapping her hands around the metal bars, practically nose to nose with the man.

"I would be , except that title's already been taken." Eloise told him, and she couldn't help the smirk that had pulled up at the corner of her lips. "The angel, don't you remember her? The one that you had so carelessly allowed to slip through your clutches? One of Steve Rogers' best friends? His best friends girlfriend? You don't know what your up against. You don't understand who you've pissed off. And if anyone has a grudge against you assholes, it's Captain America himself. He will hunt you down until every last one of you are dead. Trust me on that."

Eloise couldn't help the satisfaction that filled her body as she watched the man's face morph from amusement to one of anger and annoyance. His jaw was clenched as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at the woman, and yet she didn't move and in because Eloise wasn't scared. She knew that her people would come and find her, and she had a feeling that the man in front of her knew that as well, and that's why he wanted to gain control of her so quickly. Because the Avengers were coming, and that was a fight that he knew he couldn't fight on his own. Eloise's smirk widened.

"Of course, we can't forget my boyfriend. I don't know if you've heard of him. His name is Tony Stark? Extremely rich, handsome, and knows how to fly in an iron suit. Have you heard of him?" Eloise pouted mockingly. "From what I hear he doesn't like it when his things are taken from him. So, let's count together shall we. First, we have Captain America. Second, Iron Man. Third, Theodora Knox. Also known as my best friend, and a woman who sent her brother to a mental hospital at a young age simply because she showed him what she could do. So, between me you, I think we know who's about to win, no matter what it is that you do to me."

His hands balled into fists, his face flashing with rage as he jabbed a finger towards her direction. "I don't care what it takes. I want her to be under my control. Now." And without another word he walked away and Eloise couldn't help but laugh. She knew what was coming, and even though she was scared, she knew that the Avengers would help her. They would stop at nothing to help her, and that was what she was counting on as they dragged her out of the cell and towards the room in which the would start the process of turning her into a Winter Soldier all over again.
