"Thank you" you said to the man in front of you as you left the grocery store and walked to your house. It was a pretty day in Westview, as always. The sun was bright, the birds were singing, the grass was green and everyone was trapped in a horrible pain inside their minds. Yeah. Beautiful.
You sighed and groaned, covering your eyes from the light as you kept walking. God, you hated being here. Sure, it was nice at first, having the opportunity to see another scenery, one different from the forest you lived in. But having sun all the fucking days? Your worst nightmare. You loved being in the dark, the rain, the grey sky. It calmed you like nothing else could, with the exception of your girlfriend.
You smiled at the simple thought of her. You and Agatha had been together for the past 100 years, and every single day, you fall in love with her a little more. How could you not? She was smart, passionate, funny, beautiful and powerful. You knew she wasn't exactly a good person, but you weren't an angel either, and she was hot so she could get away with it. She was just perfect.
And she was so patient with you, always teaching you new things and happily answering your questions about everything. She even taught you some magic tricks, even if you weren't a witch. Actually, you thought it was one of the things she liked about you, she could teach you everything about her culture because you were not part of it, which meant you always found everything she told you pretty amazing.
But, it was also one of the things she feared the most. You not being a witch, meant you weren't biologically immortal like her. Somewhere on your genealogical tree was a dark secret. You had vampire's blood on your veins. Just a little part that allowed you to heal quickly and age pretty slowly, but you were not a full vampire either, and still had a date of expiry. And that knowledge broke Agatha's heart.
She has been trying to find a way to make you immortal like her, but she hasn't found one yet. That's why she was always so protective of you. She was already fighting against time for you, so the thought of you being injured and taken away from her even sooner, scared the hell out of her.
When she felt a strong magic coming from this part of the world, she decided she needed to know what it was, because maybe, just maybe, this could be the answer she needed to make sure you'll stay with her forever.
You chuckled at the memory of her trying to convince you to come with her. Of course you would have come even if she didn't ask you to, but you always found too cute how her baby blue eyes lit up with hope whenever she found something that, perhaps, could give you eternal life. It made you feel so special, that Agatha loved you enough to keep searching for a way to make you immortal, even after all these years.
"Y/N!" a little voice came from behind you and you turned to see Billy and Tommy walking up to you, bright smiles in their faces. You waited til they were by your side and smiled too.
"Hi boys, how are you?" you asked while they hugged you. The twins were the only other thing besides your precious witch that helped you endure Wanda's ordeal. They were pretty good boys and they adored you and Agatha Agnes, they even called you "aunties" sometimes.
"We're fine, you? How 's aunt Agnes?" Billy asked and you smiled. He had always bonded better with your girlfriend, while Tommy was totally yours.
"She's fine, thanks" you answered "what are you two doing here tho?" you asked and frowned a little. It was strange for them to be wandering around by themselves.
"Mom and dad are arguing, again" Tommy said and shrugged. Your frown deepened.
Wanda and Vision had been arguing a little too much lately. You knew it all started because of Agatha, who wanted Vision to be conscious so it could distract Wanda and let her be closer to her and her magic, but this, you were sure it wasn't just Agatha. This was Wanda losing control of her own ilusion and it was hurting her sons.
"Well, my arms are getting tired, so why don't you help me and we can make a cake with Agnes when we get home?" you asked jokingly and their faces lit up. You just had bread and milk on your arms, but that was enough for them. They just wanted an excuse to spend time with their aunties.
You chuckled when Tommy took the milk from you while Billy took the bread. Each one of them took one of your hands and the three of you walked home. Deep in your heart, you knew these kids weren't even real, or at least, they were not supposed to be real, and when the time comes, you'll be heartbroken to say goodbye. But for now, you'll enjoy the time you had with them.
This thought made you think of Agatha. Did she feel like this too? She had been dealing for years with the knowledge that you will be gone someday. You always assured her that you still had time, but now that you were feeling some sadness at the thought of losing the twins, you weren't so sure anymore. You really had to make sure your time with her would be worth it.
You were still thinking about it when you heard an explosion and felt the twins freezing at your sides. When you looked up, you saw Vision flying away and a big red smoke coming your way from Wanda's house. Your reaction was instinctive.
"Y/N!" you heard Billy screaming as you hugged them both, covering them with your body.
You didn't need any powers to feel their fear. The way Billy's hand grabbed your shirt as a life saver and how Tommy hid his face on your chest, was enough.
When the smoke hit you, you screamed. It felt as if all your body was burning.You couldn't move, even when you wanted to run, so you just hugged the kids tighter. Suddenly, it all stopped.
You blinked and quickly looked at the twins, making sure they were fine. Something inside you, told you this was just the calm before the storm.
"Run" you told them "Run to the park and hide, now!" You could feel they didn't want to leave you, but they nodded and obeyed you anyway. You started running to your house, wanting to make sure Agatha was fine. The house was literally next to Wanda's house, after all.
You barely made it to the front door when another wave of red hit you and you fell to your knees, screaming. This time it was so much worse. You could feel Wanda's burning rage and desperation. She was trying to keep everything in control, but was quickly losing it because her husband wouldn't obey her anymore and her grief was giant.
This is an accident. She will stop soon. You tried to calm yourself, but the pain was too much for you to handle.
Wanda went outside her house just to see you crying on the floor, red strings around you, like chains. She gasped and tried to help, but her magic didn't respond. She wasn't in control anymore.
"Y/N!" You heard Agatha's voice from somewhere near you.
She sounded desperate and angry. You have heard that tone just once before, and it didn't end well for the men that had hurt you. You knew she was about to unleash hell, and the last thought you had before passing out, looking at Wanda, was Run. Run, Witch, run.
