Fanaa (Peter Parker)

Chapter 26

Half heaven, half hell. I would go through all of it with you.

Heaven was made for angels, it's not a good home for those who resemble fallen ones.

"Come on Rosati, you have to actual try this time!" James shouts at me from across the room.

"Oh, fuck off, I'm trying my hardest." I groan out.

We've been trying to get Zarathos to come out for the past few hours but no matter what I do, he won't come out. I close my eyes again and focus on the demon inside of me.

"Come on Zarathos, I've never needed you before, but I need you now." I whisper to myself. Again, nothing happens. I open my eyes and throw my hands up in defeat. "Fuck this! It's not working." I yell out as I storm over to the boys.

James rolls his eyes at my dramatics. "Iris, you can't force it. You've kept him locked up for so many years, it has to come natural." He says in an annoyed tone.

I glare at him as I cross my arms over my chest. "Oh, I'm sorry I don't want a soul eating demon on the lose who I can't control." I say sarcastically to him.

"Iris if you want this to work—"

I interrupt James before he can continue. "I get it James!" I shout out. "You keep telling me the shit I already know and it's not doing anything! So, if you please have any other suggestions that are actually fucking useful, let me know." I say angerly to him as I turn around and storm out of the door.

I stomp through the hallways angerly as I make it to my room. I open the door and slam the door harshly behind me. It shakes on its hinges, but I ignore it as I plop down on my bed. I groan loudly as I lay down and stare at the ceiling.

If Zarathos won't come out, then how can I protect Peter? Everything is resting on my shoulders and I can't do anything. I feel the stress crawling through my skin.

I hear someone knocking at my door, but I ignore them. They continue knocking and I let out a groan. "Go away." I mumble out, loud enough for them to hear me. I hear the door open and I let out a sigh.

I see Bucky and Peter walk into my room. They sit down on each side of the bed next to me. "Doll don't beat yourself. We known you're trying." He says as he lays a hand on my leg.

"Yeah darling, we aren't mad at you." Peter says with a sweet smile on his face.

I sit up on the bed so I can face them properly. "I know you guys aren't mad at me but I'm mad at myself. I have to figure this out or we are all fucked." I say seriously. They both share sad glances before they look back at me.

"Just give it some time Iris, I promise it will all work out." Bucky says and Peter nods his head to agree with him.

I feel a smile spread across my face as I grab them in my arms and give them a hug. "Aw you guys are the best. I have the best boys in the world." I say as I kiss both of their cheeks.

They chuckle in my arms and hug me tighter. They let go of me and stand up. "We love you Iris, never forget that." Bucky says.

I send them a smile and stand up to join them. "I love you guys too. I'm going to go talk to James." I respond.

They nod their heads and I head towards the door. I pass my servants on the way and give them small nods of my head. I go to James room and knock on his door. He says to come in and I enter.
