The Infinity Witch

Chapter 12: Home

Skylar didn't know what to expect from the Infinite Dimension; she was terrified to be honest. Wanda warned her not to free the creatures that were in that dimension... but what if she did? What if she couldn't handle the power and went out of control again? What if she were stuck there forever? A million of 'What If's' hovering around in her head.

Skylar slowly opened her eyes. She was standing under a cherry blossom tree. A beautiful, calm and perfectly transparent lake in front of her. She could only hear the sound of her breathing and the sound of the water lapping against the shore. She stood there admiring the landscape, mesmerised by it's beauty until she suddenly noticed that Agatha was not with her anymore.

"No... No! Nooo!" Skylar started looking frantically for Agatha. "How, of all things, could I lose a witch?!" Skylar was panicking. She felt as if her world was falling apart, and worst of all she didn't know how to go back home. A horrible realization came to her, she was totally unprepared and that scared her more than anything in the world.

Skylar put her hand on her weepy face and sobbed. She cried until something warm touched her arm. She quickly turned around and saw a brown baby bear. When Skylar picked up the little fuzz ball, she turned into her 9 year old self.

"Are you lost too?" Skylar asked the little cub. The baby bear whined, letting Skylar know that he too was lost.

Peter's POV

It was two hours since Skylar entered that portal. Peter was going out of his mind, his soulmate was missing and Farah was trembling like a leaf. Peter was hugging Farah who was wiping his tears when he heard people running towards him.

"Peter!" Tony said out of breath.

"Tony?" Peter stood up and looked at Tony with tears in his eyes.

"How were you able to cross the barrier Agatha casted?" Peter saw the rest of the Avengers running after Tony.

"Wanda managed to take down the spell- where is Skylar? Where is my daughter?!" Tony said, his legs shaking. Peter had never seen Tony so terrified in his life.

Peter looked down and began to tear up, he didn't know where Skylar was.

"Peter?" Tony's face dropped. "Where- where is my- daughter?" Tears began to flow down Tony's cheeks. "Wanda! You- you said that the dimension was safe! WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!" Tony walked closer to Wanda, pointing at her with his shaky finger.

"Tony I- I'm sorry- the best we can do now is wait-" Wanda was feeling guilty for giving Tony hope.

"Wait? ... Wait?!" Tony let out a laugh. "Wait for what exactly? To see if my daughter is dead?!" Tony was about to flip out.

"I'm sure she's okay, she's a strong woman," Steve said.

"Don't bullshit me Rogers! How many hours has it been? She's not back yet!" Tony yelled at Steve's face.

"Stop! You're scaring Farah!" Peter shouted. Everyone went silent. They turned around and saw the little Farah terrified hugging Peter's leg.

Skylar's POV

Skylar was walking through the dark forest with her new little friend when she heard a growl. The growl intensifie with every second. Skylar was frozen in fear until the little bear jumped from Skylar's grasp. The bear started to run in the opposite direction from where the growl was coming from. Skylar immediately followed the bear to wherever he was going. They finally stopped and hid behind an old fallen tree. The growls seemed to be coming closer but stopped when Skylar heard someone walking towards them. She looked up and saw a beautiful lady with long hair the color of gold kneeling in front of her.
